After receiving the news, Morbar's face changed drastically and immediately ordered: all warships gave up the siege of the Dionia fleet in front of him and quickly retreated to the port!

Although the captains of Midolades and Dionia's warships could not understand what the enemy was shouting in the city, the sound of the bell of the lighthouse and the sudden change of tactics of the enemy in front of them all meant that the situation of the battle had changed.

What is this change? It must be that the Sicilian fleet arrived!... This was the plan of leaping snakes out of the hole for many days. Due to the location of the Third Fleet and the number of warships (the Sicilian fleet has too many warships, the Carthage fleet may not dare to fight), it was used as bait. After the battle, the Sicilian fleet, which had already ambushed between the western Sicilian and the Carthage waters, judged the time and rushed to join the encirclement. Since the battle location was basically determined, there was no need to worry about losing its direction and missing the fighter plane.

The Third Fleet still adheres to a defensive strategy, but widens the gap between warships to cover more sea surfaces and prevent enemy ships from bypassing them and approaching the port.

Ironically, Morbar had deliberately lured the Third Fleet to the front of the port entrance to the port in order to cause a sudden attack in the rear, but now when the Carthage fleet wanted to withdraw into the port, they found that the Third Fleet was arranged in a circular array, standing in front of the port, completely blocking their way back.

Should I escape to another place or forcefully enter the port?...Morbar faces an important choice, time is tight, and the veteran loses his previous calmness, his whole body is soaked in cold sweat. Finally, he issued an order: "Attack forward, forcibly break through the enemy formation, and return to the port!"

And, he commanded the flagship and charged forward first.

Morbar gave up retreating elsewhere because he knew that the Carthage crew had been very tired and could not escape the pursuit of the Dionys reinforcements. Moreover, there were a large number of soldiers on the Dionys warships. Even if the Carthage warships were snatching the beach on the nearby coast, it would easily cause the warships to fall into the hands of the enemy. Because at this time, the troops in the city of Carthage were empty and it was impossible to send enough soldiers to guard these stranded warships (two days ago, there was a secret report that the leaders of the Numibian tribe in the inland gathered secretly to attempt to conspire to resist Carthage's rule, so the Senate hurriedly sent 7,000 citizens to suppress the rebellion, and there were only 3,000 soldiers left in the city).

With Morbar's flagship as an example, other Carthage warships also threw their previous caution and patience behind their heads and launched a charge towards the Third Fleet one after another.

At the same time, three red flags were raised on the flagship of the Third Fleet, and the army roared, expressing Midolades' determination to fight the warships to the end and never allow the enemy to open up the path.

For the crew of the Third Fleet, they paid too much for this battle and would never hope to fail at the last moment. Everyone was motivated to fight against the enemy's breakthrough desperately.

The naval battle that lasted for four hours suddenly became fierce at this time.

Unexpectedly, the first victim was the flagship of the Carthage Fleet. When it rushed to the circular formation, the corresponding crow warship set the bow. Morbar ordered the helmsman to go straight forward and not to avoid it. When the deck of the flagship was hit by the opponent's suspension bridge, Morbar led the only soldiers on the deck to rush towards the bow, followed by nearly 200 oarsmen. He wanted to use the advantage of numbers to block the attack of the soldiers of the Deonia fleet on the deck.

The infantry of the Dionian fleet, who had been raising their strength, attacked fiercely. When they used leather shields to block the spears stabbed by the soldiers on the deck, they rushed forward with their armor and pressed against the enemy. The dagger in their right hand kept stabbing at the opponent...

Even though this was on a shaking sea ship, the movements of the fleet soldiers were still very brave, swift and precise, as if they were stepping on the solid ground. This was the result of years of hard training, which led to the few deck soldiers on the Carthage flagship being stabbed soon.

Morbar lost the guards in front of him. Facing the fiercely rushing towards the Dionians, the elderly naval commander did not retreat or fear. The thin right hand drew out his sword and stabbed the Dionian soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, his sword was knocked away by the skin shield of the infantry of the Deonia fleet, and at the same time the short sword of the infantry of the fleet also stabbed into his chest.

When he fell down, the expression on his face was not painful, but more calm. He was born in the most powerful era of Carthage. He spent a lot of his long life in the navy, made considerable contributions to Carthage's prosperity, and eventually died in the sea. He had no regrets.

"Mr. Morbar!!"

"Avenge Lord Morbar!!!"

...

Then the Carthage sailors who rushed to the deck from the cabin saw the old city-state hero they respected lying in a pool of blood. They were extremely angry and no longer afraid of the fully armed infantry of the Dionian fleet. They all rushed up with wooden oars and daggers in their hands, blocking the Dionians' continued advance.

For a time, the infantry of the Dionian fleet was blocked at the bow of the ship, with a small space, and even several infantry were blocked on the suspension bridge and could not reach the deck, which also led to the suspension bridge being unplugged in time.

Just as the two sides were fighting, a Carthage warship bypassed the flagship and rushed straight towards the crow warship.

The Crow Warship was unable to move because it was connected to the Carthage flagship. The crew could only watch the ship being hit by the bow of the enemy ship that was coming at high speed. In the thunderous shock, not only did the Crow Warship be knocked out of a large mouth and the sea water surged in. In the violent shock, many Carthage sailors and fleet infantry on the deck of the Carthage flagship also fell into the sea, screaming and screaming... were in chaos.

In this chaos, the sailors on the deck of Carthage's flagship were crowded, taking advantage of the chaos in the formation of the enemy in front of them for a while and when the offensive weakened, they pushed them to the side of the ship, causing multiple fleet infantry to be squeezed into the sea...

The Carthage warships followed the example of flagships, which caused the crow warships located in front of the Third Fleet's circular formation to be severely damaged. The Carthage fleet gradually broke through the periphery of the circular formation and began to cut inward.

Midolades learned the detailed battle situation ahead from his lookout, and felt that the situation was urgent. He resolutely issued an order: "The Carthaginians are fighting hard, and we can't do it if we don't! Go and notify all the crow warships that once the suspension bridge hooks the enemy ship, all the sailors in the cabin will put them on the deck. If there is an enemy ship coming to hit me, they will also jump and fight for me! The Carthaginians dare to do this, and we, the Dionians, will only be braver than them!"

"Yes!" This time the captain did not remind Midolades that the order issued by Midolades was too complicated, because in the previous pursuit of the Carthage fleet, Midolades learned from the previous lessons and recalled several clutches, which were now surrounded by the flagship. Moreover, due to the circular formation of the Third Fleet, the warships were located around the flagship, and the interval between the warships was small, so the order was quickly conveyed.

Since then, this naval battle has entered a more tragic stage. Not only are there collisions between warships and soldiers fighting, but even the crew members of both sides are fighting...

The elders standing on the breakwater city were worried and the people who were still watching in the port area were even more anxious. In order to ensure that their relatives could break through the blockade of the Dionian fleet, many ship owners were in a hurry to drive their own cargo ships, risking the huge risk of the ship being destroyed and people dying, and bravely rushed to the giant Daionian warships outside the port to assist their navy in fighting.

Not long after, the 3rd Fleet of Dionia seemed to be surrounded, but they did not have any chaos. Each warship always stood firm in its position and stubbornly blocked the Carthage fleet's advance...

The dilemma of the Third Fleet did not last long. The Sicilian fleet finally arrived. The 250 warships had already been arranged in a geese-shaped formation with only two (the first one was a fast warship and the second one was a crow warship). With an encirclement, it launched a rapid attack on the Carthage fleet that was fighting with the Third Fleet.

The Carthage fleet, which failed to break into the port in time, was immediately surrounded and lost Morbar's unified command. Some of the Carthage warships wanted to continue to rush into the port, while others turned around and fled in other directions due to their own warships... The result of their own warships led to their resistance being shattered soon. Except for a few Carthage warships who escaped by chance, most of them were either injured, sunk or caught by crow warships.

The two Dionian fleets that won the victory no longer chased the fish that had escaped. The third fleet stayed outside the port. While rescuing the crew that fell into the sea, they also attacked the many cargo ships that had left the port to assist the Carthage fleet in combat in order to vent their anger.

The Carthage cargo ships scrambled to flee to the port were chased and crushed by the Dionys warships, and countless people overturned.

The Sicilian fleet sailed westward - the location where the Third Fleet and the Carthage Fleet initially fought, where there were also many Carthage cargo ships. They had rescued the Carthage crews who had fallen into the sea to the shore, but out of anger, they did not stop. Under the leadership of Barricos, the ships continued to cruise in this sea area, using wooden oars to knock the Dionian sailors floating on the sea, causing them to drown. Morbar even planned to dive into the sea to see if they could sink the warships that were captured by the infantrymen of the Dionian fleet and could not move.

At this moment, the Sicilian fleet arrived. Because the fleet arrived at the battlefield and joined the battle, it won the naval battle shortly after joining the battle. The crew were still physically and energetic, and they were facing the Carthage merchant ships that had once made them suffer. Therefore, they had a strong desire to fight. They pursued and swept all the Carthage ships on the sea, and even the Barricos merchant ship was eventually overturned...
