Chapter 503 504. Sinking Deeply
Barnabas kept in mind that the mission of the Adrestia was not to kill the Athenian warships for the Spartans.
Their purpose is to land in Megaris.
In the distance on the sea, two Athenian warships that shot out arrows were still swimming like sharks. They may not have seen clearly how the ship that hit them was injured by a wave of javelins. look.
This therefore gave the Adrestia ample time to turn.
"Turn! Use more force! Let's sink this bastard!"
Barnabas loudly communicated with the oarsmen in the cabin.
"Don't relax! Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho..." the rowers shouted excitedly, the oars on both sides reciprocated back and forth, and the rhythm of the syllables coming out of their mouths became faster and faster.
This repeated syllable spurred the oarsmen to row the oars, and the Adrestia's speed became more and more astonishing.
When the copper ram quickly rushed towards the hull of the severely reduced Athenian warship, Cassandra and Lan's eyes widened. This was their first encounter at sea. A battle and a first capture.
The Athenians on the ship were shocked.
"Stand still!" Barnabas roared.
The wood that made up the hull of the warship cracked like an explosion! The Adrestia also trembled violently, and after this tremor, it went straight through the movement composed of screams, splitting the Athenian warship into two, like an open door .
The main mast fell down like this, and the crew members hugged the wooden mast in order to save their lives. These commotions come and go as quickly as they come.
It was only then that the two Athenian galleys in the distance reacted and urgently turned their bows towards this side.
"They won't come close." Lan En pulled Barnabas to stand up from the guardrail of the command seat and made a calm judgment. "We are already too close to the shore. The Athenians are not worth taking such risks for a small boat."
His cat's eyes scanned the white sandy beach of Megaris.
On the beach, a group of Spartans were looking at the situation at sea aggressively.
They looked like figures straight out of a movie, wearing torso armor made of brass that carved the lines of their abdominal muscles and chest muscles.
Compared to their enemy Athens, the Spartan armor appears strong and fierce.
On their heads they wore Corinthian helmets with bright red plumes like horsehair. The shield on his hand is painted with a red lambda symbol, which is a mark like a red arrow.
There was already a killing going on on the beach. The Athenian army and the Spartan army were fighting each other.
The Athenians on the warship that was sunk by the Adrestia are now gradually drifting to the shore with the wreckage of the ship driven by the waves, which can be regarded as an alternative form of 'reinforcement'.
Even in the face of the enemy's reinforcements, the Spartan soldiers remained silent from beginning to end. They just rushed towards the prey in front of them, and the spears they thrust out were just to penetrate the enemy's On the chest, balls of blood sprayed out and condensed into mist over the battlefield, leaving only the screams of the wounded.
On this battlefield, a young Spartan officer performed brilliantly. And an old Spartan general without a helmet, with half-white hair, stood on a cliff not far from the beach, overlooking the entire battlefield.
That should be Sparta’s [Blood Wolf], Cassandra’s father?
Lan En turned his head to look at the expression of the woman next to him, and found that she was looking at the old general on the cliff in trance.
"This is your family matter, I won't care about it."
The witcher gently patted Cassandra beside him on the shoulder and whispered.
"I am going to enter the hinterland of Megaris first. If you need help with your mission, come to me at any time."
Cassandra nodded silently, her gaze motionless.
Lan En raised his legs and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned around and slipped Fu Bai out with his head sticking out of the cabin, pulling him with him.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing? I want to be with Cassandra!"
The little girl shouted dissatisfied, but Lan En's hand did not loosen at all.
"I pulled you away just because I knew you wanted to be with Cassandra. It was her family matter."
"But I am also her family member!" Fu Bai retorted unconvinced, while Lan En pointed to the old general on the cliff.
"Yes, you are her family. No one can deny this. But the whole thing is not that simple. He and Cassandra are also family members, and in addition to their family relationship, In addition, there is hatred and bounty. In short, you better not get involved in this mess. This is for the sake of your relationship with Cassandra."
Some things cannot be done. If you mess around, you might not even be friends.
Lan En tried to tell Fu Bai this truth.
Fortunately, although Fubai doesn't understand and has a very independent personality, she is also very smart and obedient.
She will not directly resist a problem that she does not understand at the moment.
So under Lan En's pull, she just turned her head eagerly and waved to Cassandra.
“Remember to come to us for help, Cassandra!”
“The main thing is to come to me for help, you can’t do anything.”
Lan En complained calmly.
As the two walked away from the beach, they saw the young officer who had shown bravery in the battle approached Cassandra and started talking to the mercenary who suddenly broke into the battlefield and helped. get in a word.
It seems that because they sank an Athenian galley, the attitude of these Spartans was pretty good, and they could at least communicate in a friendly manner.
After walking out of the beach, there is a road that has obviously been artificially repaired.
This was a symbol of prosperity in the world of early civilization.
It would be good if there are trampled animal trails in remote areas.
"Then what are we going to do, Lan En?"
Fubo said jumping around the witcher, looking very cheerful.
In her eyes, Cassandra is a demigod who has tamed the bird of the gods, and there is nothing to worry about.
So now she can indulge in a sense of adventure.
"We didn't enter the hinterland of Megaris just for fun, Phob. We did it to collect intelligence and deal with troubles to complete the mission faster."
Two people walked on the land of Megaris, in the Aegean Sea Under the transpiration of the sun, the olive trees, lemon trees, and unknown wild flowers in the wild all emit fragrance.
“No matter what Kassandra wants to do to her father, she must at least approach him alone. And to get a chance to be alone with the military commander, she must win the trust of the entire army.”
Although Lan did not participate in the negotiation between Cassandra and the young officer, his education and his own thinking ability made it easy for him to guess what the conversation was about.
So in the eyes of Fu Bai's unclear admiration, Lan En continued to speak with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Sparta will ask Kassandra to work for them, and will not be trusted until she has undoubted merit."
"I am here to take the lead for these tasks."
Forber quickly interjected and added.
“It’s ‘we’!”
“Okay, we, as long as you like it.”
