If you enter the Watergate, the coast is surrounded by many commercial docks for merchant ships to dock (of course, the innermost round military port is protected by city walls and ordinary ships can only be accessed), but Lilibi was first established as a military fortress, so there are also 5-meter-high city walls and spaced towers on the coast. There are only more than 10 docks in the innermost part of this rectangular harbor, and there are about one mile distance from Watergate to the dock. Once an enemy ship really breaks into the port, the walls and tower guards on both sides will launch rockets, leaving enemy ships unavoidable.

At this time, the cruise ship led the way in front, and the cargo ships were entering in the rear, searching next to each other, and lined up in a long row towards the dock.

When he was about to reach the dock, the captain of the patrol ship suddenly heard the bell "Clang! Clang! Clang!..." sounded from behind. He was stunned at first, and then he remembered that this was the alarm bell from the lighthouse: An enemy invaded?!

He immediately turned his head and looked back, but saw that the originally ordered fleet had become scattered, and some cargo ships expanded and rushed towards the dock quickly.

I was fooled! This fleet was pretended by the enemy!... The captain of the patrol ship realized clearly and panicked in his heart.

In fact, the lighthouse guards who had been paying attention to the fleet entering the port discovered that the fleet was strange because these cargo ships were not orderly and rushed towards the docks faster. But before that, he found that many cargo ships suddenly stopped moving forward and docked next to the embankment of the natural breakwater. Then the linen in the center of the ship was automatically lifted, and many people came out of it.

The supplies transported became humans!... The tower guards of course understood that they had been fooled. After sounding the alarm, he was a little curious: Why did these cunning enemies dock the cargo ship there?

Although the narrowest width of this natural breakwater is 40 meters, after the wall is built on the outside, no wall is built on the inside, its embankment has been rebuilt with special stone bricks, soil and sand and gravel, making it strong, straight, steep, and 7 meters high. It is almost impossible to climb from the boat to the natural breakwater. Moreover, in addition to the city wall, tower and lighthouse, there is also a small military camp on the breakwater, which is often stationed with 100 light infantry, which can deal with any emergency situation in time. Although it is now night that the light infantry in the barracks are asleep, the alarm bell rings, and I believe they will soon dress neatly and rush out of the barracks to rescue.

But the tower guards obviously forgot that in addition to the military camp, there is also a building on the natural breakwater - a small temple. It not only provides the soldiers stationed in the "breakwater" with a sacred place to pray to God, but also when the port is opened in the early morning, the tower guards will go to the temple to pray for sacred prayers and bless peace. This has become a necessary sacred ceremony in the port of Lilibi.

Although this temple is small, it combines the characteristics of Carthage and Greek temples. It is a typical temple column-like building, and it is very close to the inner bank.

All the cargo ships in this fleet are indeed from Carthage - the rescue fleet that was captured at the Port of Palermos last night, but its crew mainly comes from Alenia. They led the fleet into the port of San Iberia and Saros in the same way not long ago, and they have accumulated a lot of experience, so they can deceive the vigilant patrol ship captain. The seven cargo ships in the front are indeed loaded with material, while the linen covers the cargo ships behind are soldiers from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade.

At this moment, Terentus and his men stood on a cargo ship that was turbulent with the sea water, swinging the rope hook in his hand, taking advantage of the light from the crew members to ignite the torches, looking up at the outline of the temple on the embankment, throwing it up hard, and one rope hook after another sets an arc in the air and flies towards the temple. Some of them successfully wrapped around the pillars. Terentus and the others immediately grabbed the rope hook, and then quickly climbed onto the embankment...

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen enemies climbed up the embankment, but none of the soldiers in the military camp came out yet... The tower guards who were watching the top of the tower were stunned and immediately shouted to the people on the lower floor of the tower: "Go and close the door, go! The enemy is coming!"

Seeing them running down the tower in panic, the tower guards began to knock on the hanging bronze bell again.

Standing at His Highness, Terentus looked up at the lighthouse where the bells came from not far away, then pointed at the men who were climbing up and shouted loudly: "You 10 of you come with me to take the lighthouse! Forginicas, lead the others to kill the enemies in that military camp for me, and then meet at the lighthouse!"

"As for orders, captain!" Foginicas responded loudly.

"Follow me!" Terentus waved his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the lighthouse, with 10 soldiers following closely behind.

When I arrived at the lighthouse, the thick tower gate was closed.

Terentus was not panicked, he stretched out his hand back: "Rope hook."

A soldier hurriedly handed the prepared rope hook to his hand. He grabbed the rope hook head, aimed at the stone window with light coming out above, and threw the rope hook in with a little force, then pulled it back, let the rope hook hook around the window ridge, and began to climb upwards.

Other soldiers also began to throw rope hooks into other windows on the lighthouse.

Terentus was climbing up quickly, and suddenly heard the soldiers below shouting: "Captain, be careful!"

A figure appeared in the window above. He instinctively pressed his body against the stone wall. He heard a gust of wind, and then the back was painful. The javelin thrown by the enemy fell down on his back, and the sharp spear tip cut through his clothes.

The situation was very critical. The second javelin would soon come again. Terentus, who was in mid-air, would be in evade. The desire to survive made him burst out with powerful force at this time. He thrust his feet hard on the stone wall, his hands quickly alternated, and he grabbed the rope tightly. He climbed upwards at a speed several times faster than before. When he approached the window, the enemy had already taken out the second javelin and wanted to throw it at him.

He quickly pulled out the dagger and slashed forward in a hurry.

The enemy could not dodge and was scratched on his cheek. He screamed and took a few steps back.

Terentus grabbed the gap, grabbed the window ridge with his left hand, and supported it with force, and his whole body flipped into the tower, turning over on the ground, and the dagger in his right hand stabbed out again, just stabbing the enemy in the chest.

In the blink of an eye, the rabbit rose and falconed fell, and the two sides decided the outcome.

The enemy fell down in shock, as if he was unwilling to believe this fact.

In such a dangerous situation, Terentus was able to escape his life and quickly turn defeat into victory, which can be said to have brought his arduous training skills to the extreme for more than 10 years.

He was out of danger and felt soft and numb at this moment. Thinking about his almost going to the underworld just now, his body couldn't help but sweat.

But he didn't have time to rest to relieve his emotions, but instead rushed towards other enemies with a dagger.

Usually in the late night, there is only one tower guard in the lighthouse at the Lilibi Port. During this period, several personnel were added to open the water gate and allow the Carthage fleet that transported food to enter and exit. There are no soldiers in the tower, but in order to defend, the designers of the city did not build stone stairs to up and down the city wall on this natural breakwater, but instead integrated the tail end of the city wall with the lighthouse. In this way, soldiers in the breakwater barracks must pass through the lighthouse to go up to the city wall, and sentries patrolling this section of the city wall at night can also directly enter the lighthouse.

Fortunately, there were only 5 Lilibi soldiers in total. How could they be the opponent of the vicious mountain reconnaissance team members? They were soon killed by the mountain reconnaissance soldiers, and the others were captured, but one of the 10 team members who raided was stabbed by a javelin and dying.

The Terentus and the soldiers and their prisoners rushed to a device like a huge millstone under the lighthouse, and pushed it together. The lowered water gate slowly rose again.

Then, another team member rushed to the top of the tower, took out the prepared torch and lit it, and then raised it high.

In this way, two burning flames appeared on the lighthouse. The flames penetrated the dark sky and spread to the sea far away. More than 100 warships from the Sicily fleet of the Dionia were moored to the west, and a small number of warships were chasing the fleeing Carthage cargo ships.

"Sir, our signal is coming from the Lighthouse!" The captain, who had been waiting anxiously on the flagship deck, shouted excitedly.

"What are you waiting for? Speed ​​me up immediately and target Lilibi!" Secrean couldn't hide his excitement.

The soldiers of the Second Legion on the deck also understood that the sneak attack on the port of Lilibi were successful. They were all ready to go and excited, but when they were ordered, no one shouted.

In the north, more than 100 warships of the Third Fleet were also loaded with soldiers rushing towards the port of Lilibi.

……………………………………

Because I was always worried about the incident of "transporting reinforcements to Palermos last night", Imisere sent slaves to the port several times in the evening and asked: Did the cargo ship who had gone to Palermos return?

The answers I got were: "No."

His confidant comforted him: "The cargo ships that rescue Palermos not only need to avoid the cruise of the Dionian fleet on the south coast, but also need not be discovered by the Dionian fleet on the north coast closer to it, and it is impossible to return so early..."

Imisere thought it made sense, so he did not send anyone to pay attention to the port. Later, he fell asleep as physically and mentally exhausted. Until he was woken up by his slave, he asked in a daze: "Is the cargo ship back?"

"Master, the bells sounded from the port!"

"The bell sound?" Emiserre was shocked, and his sleepiness was awakened: "The enemy invaded the port?!"
