"Thanks to Melekat for his blessing!" Annobas expressed his gratitude to the Phoenician supreme god, full of joy. The reason why he did not thank Bar Ham, the patron god of Carthage, was because Bar Ham was the lord of lava and water and fire never tolerate it, so naval battles were not the realm controlled by Bar Ham.

Annobas was happy to believe that the crow warship in Dionia was light in the bow and heavy feet, and it was easy to overturn in strong winds and waves. The fast three-layer oar warship was also used for smaller sizes, lighter weight, and difficult to control in strong winds and waves. Moreover, on the flanks, the Carthage warships were in a favorable position for the upwind, which was a great opportunity for the Carthage fleet to counterattack!

"Woo!..." The attacking military roster sounded again on the double-headed dragon throne ship. The originally loud roaring sound was shrouded in the clouds, and the dark sea surface looked low and hoarse.

Annobas supported the ship bar with both hands, stood on the roof of the high boat building, letting the strong sea breeze blow on his body, he kept looking around the sea surface, and the warships on both sides were jogging forward in the wind and waves...

He didn't know if his men could hear the trumpet, but he firmly believed that the Carthaginians with rich sailing experience would seize this favorable opportunity and bring the decline back little by little!

"General, the storm is getting heavier and heavier. Should we retreat first?!" The adjutant held down his helmet with one hand, for fear of being blown into the sea by the strong wind, walked to Annobas and said uneasyly.

"Retreat?!" Annobas seemed to hear a joke. He pointed his finger ahead, and shouted in the sea breeze, "Look!"

I saw a crow warship with a front mast and a suspension bridge standing on the front mast was clumsy and just passed through a wave, and then another wave came over... When the wave passed, the warship had already poured on the sea.

"Hahaha..." Annobas laughed happily: "Did you see, what a good opportunity this is! Even if you want to retreat, you have to wait until you defeat the Dionians before retreating!"

…………………………………

The same advice happened on the flagship of Dionia, but Secrean was no longer as energetic as before. He expected the weather to be bad, but he did not expect that the storm would be so great that it would cause great difficulties for the fleet's warships to be controlled. He no longer had the heart to complain about why Poseidon accepted their pious prayers and generous sacrifices before the war, but helped the aliens when the fleet was about to win.

At this moment, what made him most troubled was that even though he issued the order to retreat, the entire fleet was scattered so wide that it even went deep outside the port of Selinus. Under such harsh weather conditions, it was not just his order to retreat, but he could retreat.

Just as he was frowning, "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The continuous roar in the sky was as if thousands of big drums were ringing on the clouds, making everyone suddenly startled.

Immediately afterwards, silver-white lightning flashed above the sea, running through the sky and the earth. The dark clouds became darker and lower, pressing down towards the sea. The waves became more and more active, rising higher and higher, as if they were huge beast mouths, trying to swallow the lightning.

The downpour and strong rain plunged down like this, and the world suddenly became dark.

Whether it was the Carthaginians or the Dionians, they still had the heart to row and fight. They didn't even dare to look out at the sea, because the sea had now become an endless abyss, and the endless darkness seemed to be able to swallow human souls... The only thing all the crew members, including the generals, could do was to crowd in the cabin and pray to the sea god in a trembling voice to bless the peace.

"Crack!" With a loud bang, a lightning flash appeared in front of the double-headed dragon ship. Annobas, who was sitting in the city tower, just glanced out, and his originally pale face suddenly became paler: with the silver light of lightning, he saw a huge wall bulging from the sea surface not far away, more than ten meters high, crushing them overwhelmingly...

Annobas's soul was rising, and there was no previous commander. The image of the commander who was full of confidence in Carthage's navigation technology disappeared without a trace. He just murmured with a dull face: "How is this possible! How is this possible! It's not winter now, how can there be storms in the southwestern Sicily waters!..."

……………………………………

The unpredictable changes in nature are beyond human expectations.

In the face of the great power of heaven and earth, no matter how huge the warships are, they appear extremely small. Under the strong wind and waves, these ships are either slapped apart by the huge waves and sank to the bottom of the sea; or thrown into the air and smashed to pieces...

The storm lasted until dusk and finally calmed down the rage. The heavy rain disappeared without a trace, the strong wind turned into a gentle breeze, and the sky was clean and could not see a trace of clouds, and the falling sunset turned into golden red... The sea showed its gentle and beautiful side.

But when the sight turned to the coast where the tide was low, the scene I saw was terrible: the beach was covered with human bodies soaked in the sea and the remains of countless warships; and in the low tide sea, countless human bodies and broken boat boards were also floating...

Such a terrible scene is not only everywhere on the coast of Selinus, but also extends to the coasts of Mazara and Germet, and even further away...

Leotizides, stationed in the north of the city of Selinnus, had been worried about the safety of the Sicilian fleet, so after the storm subsided, he immediately sent troops and medical battalions to block the coast near Selinnus and began to rescue people urgently.

When the doctors and nurses have the spare time, they will also treat the Carthaginians as long as he has a breath.

The Carthage colonial cities and allies on the south coast, as well as Greek city-states, have also sent personnel to the coast to search and rescue...

Both the Carthage sailors and the Dionian sailors have been hiding on the sea all year round and experienced many strong winds and waves. They may be able to escape from the storm that lasted for several hours, but the warships they drove could not be resurrected. In this large-scale naval battle, the Sicilian fleet of Dionia invested about 600 warships, and more than 500 warships in the Carthage fleet participated in the war. As a result, there was no winner on both sides, and all warships were probably destroyed by the storm.

For Carthage, what's worse is that nearly half of the passenger ships they were responsible for transporting soldiers and baggage failed to enter the port in time, were either attacked by the Dionian warships, or destroyed by the storm, and eventually buried in the belly of the fish.

………………………………………

The news that the "Dionia Sicilian fleet was wiped out" has not yet reached Great Greece. The army led by Davers, who knew nothing about it, had just arrived in Laus.

Laos today has changed a lot compared to more than a decade ago. Including the allies Campania Alliance, on the west coast of Italy, Greece in the south, Lucania and Campania in the north, Laos is at the midpoint of this long coastline. On land, it is a transportation hub between Lucania and Bruti. Therefore, its geographical superiority, and through the painstaking management of several chief executives and the support of the Senate, Laos has become a prosperous port city in the kingdom.

Although its arable land area is small and its urban population reaches more than 50,000, this is not considered the free people and slaves of the port. It is precisely because of its developed port and numerous merchant ships that it can send this huge army to Latinum by sea with as few merchant ships as possible.

While the army entered the city, Crotokataks looked at the scene in the city curiously, and was also puzzled by the strange outfit of Heniporis beside him: "Uncle Heni, you are not fighting now. You are wearing a helmet, wearing a cheek guard, and adding a mask on the outside. Don't you feel stuffy?"

Heniporis held his voice in his voice and said, "Don't talk to me!"

Davers, who was in front, turned around and smiled teasingly: "You Uncle Heny doesn't want the people here to know that he is back."

"Why? Uncle Heni was the consul of Rauss before!" Crotokatakus was even more curious.

Davers shrugged, without answering.

In fact, since Henipolis served as the clerk of Davers in the late period of the Southern Italian War, he has never been to Laus once, which is a heart disease of his heart.

In fact, the Arobamas rebellion and the subsequent civilian riots caused the population of Laus to be greatly reduced. More than half of the Lausian residents moved in later, including the descendants of Sobaris, Greeks, Lukaris, Brutis, Campanians... The true multi-ethnic mixed cities.

Nowadays, the former Lausians are no longer the bottom of the city-state that had no money or power more than ten years ago. Instead, they own land, operate maritime trade, can serve as public office, participate in city council elections, and make their suggestions. Therefore, they are grateful to the Kingdom of Dionia and the king, which can change their status drastically. When they heard that King Davers led his army to come to Laus, the people of the city took their families and occupied a position on the roadside early, just to wait for the king to come closer to him, see more clearly, and let him hear his cheers.

Amid the cheers of "King Davers's victory!!! Kingdom's victory!!!", the people also talked excitedly: "Look! The one who was wearing a long-tailed feathered helmet and wearing golden armor was His Majesty Davers! Look, how mighty and solemn he is! More than ten years ago, when His Majesty led his army through Laus and headed north to fight against the Samones, I saw him. More than ten years have passed, his appearance has not changed at all. He is still so young, worthy of being the descendant of Hades!"

"Who is the young general next to His Majesty? It seems that he has a very close relationship with His Majesty!"
