It is easy to succeed by asserting power with the qualities of power it has earned.

- Gaius Salestius Crispus (famous Roman historian)

In contrast to the fierce battle in the seas ahead, there was an eerie calm between the Brutus fleet and the Gatsi fleet; However, this calm was extremely beneficial for the House of Augustus. As time went on, Roberts's fleet soon came to an end in battle against the five twin ships of the Scipio fleet.

The massive death of warriors on the five twin ships belonging to the Scipio family has caused the Scipio sailors, who should not have been involved in the battle, to take up arms and participate in the battle; The participation of these untrained sailors who did not know how to fight in such a fierce battle only increased the casualties.

On the other side of the battle, the main fleet of the Scipio family began to slowly gain the upper hand under the command of its commander; After all, Kidd was only a pirate-turned-admiral, and he didn't have long served as commander of the Third Battle Fleet. This directly leads to the fact that its command ability is still more than a little worse than that of the fleet commander of the Scipio family!

Even if Kidd is the most famous pirate leader, he can't change his shortcomings in ship command; The commander of the fleet of the Scipio family was a seasoned admiral of the Roman Republic, and the command ability of the two was naturally very different. After Kidd's fleet got into a scuffle with the Scipio fleet, he took command of his flagship and joined the hand-to-hand combat.

The flagships were all caught in a melee, and the other warships were naturally fighting on their own; The commander of Scipio's fleet never led his own flagship into battle, but directed the entire battle through the flag on his own flagship. When the five twin battleships on its right flank could not support it, it issued an order for its soldiers to step up their attack on the Kidd fleet!

It is very important to have a unified command in a fleet; In particular, in a fierce naval battle, the combat effectiveness of the naval fleet, which is fighting separately, and the naval fleet, which is under unified command, are completely different. And the reason why Kidd's fleet has been able to hold out until now is because of their superior combat effectiveness!

Time is still ticking, and the fighting between the two sides has not stopped; Finally, the main fleet of the Scipio family completely annihilated all the fighters on a double battleship attached to the Kidd fleet, and then cut the lion banner of the House of Augustus from the battleship. Subsequently, the Scipio family captured three double ships of the Kidd fleet again one after another!

That is, by this time the Kidd fleet had already lost four twin battleships, leaving only three trilinear and four twin battleships; What's more, the flagship, which had been withstanding the main attack of the Scipio fleet, began to slowly become unreachable. More casualties among the fighters have already allowed the sailors on the flagship to take up arms and participate in the battle.

The only good thing was that Roberts' fleet had almost completed the attack on the five twin ships of Scipio's fleet; As long as the Kidd fleet holds out for another five minutes, the Roberts fleet will be able to fully support the Kidd fleet! The commander of the Scipio family fleet also discovered that Roberts' fleet was about to escape; For the sake of the family's future, its fleet commander has decided to send a distress call to the Brutus family!

In the eyes of the commander of the fleet of the Scipio family, Brutus and his own family were more enemies than allies; Naturally, he was extremely reluctant to ask for help from the Brutus fleet. But the current situation has developed to such a point that in the future of the fleet of the Scipio family and the future, he can only bow his proud head and ask for help from the fleet of the Brutus family.

When the flagship of Scipio's fleet sent a signal for help, the commander of the Brutus fleet smiled helplessly; Immediately, he ordered his eight twin ships and three triems to separate and continue to confront the Augustus fleet on the opposite side under the command of his deputy.

He himself, on the other hand, personally led his flagship and four trilinear ships and ten twin ships to prepare to return to support the Scipio fleet. Naturally, it was impossible for Gatesi to just watch the Brutus family's fleet join the attack on his two fleets; So, he also began to give orders, preparing to fight to the death with the Brutus family fleet opposite!

Just when the Gatsi fleet was already in motion, preparing to attack the fleet of the Brutus family; From the rear of the fleet of the Scipio family, once again a huge fleet has appeared! This time, which family's fleet will appear in the fleet? Or came from the rear of the Scipio family, could it be the reinforcement fleet of the Scipio family?

Gatsea and Roberts, as well as Kidd, knew that Naams's fleet was still in ambush at this time, and it was almost impossible to wait for the support of Naams's fleet; And the current situation is the most serious for the Augustan family. the fleet of the Scipio family, the fleet of the Brutus family, plus this fleet of unknown origin; The future of the Augustan family is worrying!

Finally, in the eyes of everyone, this huge fleet finally slowly revealed its hideous appearance; The first to bear the brunt was a huge five-column battleship, followed by a large-scale three-column battleship and a two-column battleship, which seemed to be a powerful fleet that was no less powerful than the fleet of the Brutus family!

What's even more unbelievable is that the flags of this fleet are actually the lion banner of the House of Augustus and the flag of Namus! However, shouldn't Naams's fleet wait in the ambush sea at this time? You know, the battleship sent out by Gartsea for help may not have arrived in the ambush area yet!

Even if the Nams fleet had been dispatched in advance, it should have appeared from the rear of the Ghatsi fleet, how could it be from the rear of the Scipio family fleet? Countless doubts instantly surfaced from the minds of the three of Gatsi, but this was obviously not the time to think about them; With the advent of this fleet, Gatesi immediately abandoned the attack on the fleet of the Brutus family.

The commander of the fleet of the Brutus family, after discovering the flag of Nams, temporarily stopped the order to return to the fleet of the Scipio family, and reunited his own fleet into one; Only the commander of the Scipio fleet, after discovering the fleet under the banner of the House of Augustus, once again increased the speed of the attack on the Kidd fleet.

And the Kidd fleet also mustered up the courage to fight more fiercely with the warriors on the ships of the Scipio family; As for the Roberts fleet, they also finally came to the point where the Kidd fleet was engaged with the Scipio family fleet. In addition to ordering his eight double-lined battleships to relieve the siege of the Kidd fleet, Roberts personally led the flagship and two three-column battleships to attack the flagship of Scipio's fleet!

In the face of the menacing Roberts fleet, the commander of the Scipio family fleet did not choose to escape, but resolutely chose to meet it; The fierce battle between the two sides broke out in full swing again!

After Nams led his fleet from the rear of the Scipio fleet to the battle site, Nams only left all the ships to participate in the siege of the Scipio fleet, and he himself continued to march in the direction of the Brutus fleet on the flagship. With the addition of these six trirees and ten twins, the rest of the battle was a one-sided battle.

And when Nams came to a place less than three hundred meters away from the Brutus family fleet, he also stopped his flagship, and then ordered the standard-bearer to wave a series of flags at the flagship of the Brutus family fleet; Roughly speaking: I am Nams, the son of Nams the Younger; I hope that the fleet of the Brutus family will return and not get involved in the war between us and the Scipio family.

The commander of the fleet of the Brutus family, after seeing the flag on the opposite side, also ordered his own standard-bearer to play this flag: General Nams, we can return here; But at least we need a reason to go back, and the Augustus can't just command the fleet of the Brutus!

To this, Nams replied: I am not here on behalf of the House of Augustus, I am on behalf of the House of Namus and the House of Maxentius; Without the Maxentius family, there would be no Nams family! What Marius and Scipio have done to the Maxentius family, I need revenge; This is the war of the House of Nams against the House of Scipio!

Whether such an answer counts as a reason that the commander of the fleet of the House of Brutus did not know, but he did not wish to clash with Namus either; And, even if he was willing to attack Nams, his men wouldn't necessarily be willing. You must know that these captains were brought out by Little Nams in the past, and they are also capable captains who are loyal to Little Nams.

If it weren't for the lack of naval talent in the Brutus family, it would not have been possible to continue to appoint these naval captains loyal to Numus Jr.; If you really want to talk about it, even if the commander himself was one of the young generals under the command of Little Namus back then, he naturally wouldn't really do anything to Naams's fleet. So, from the very beginning, he had already decided to quit just like that.

After Naams gave such an answer, the commander of the fleet of the House of Brutus replied with a deep voice: Today, we will retreat; However, from now on, the name of Nams has nothing to do with us. See you next time, we can only give up everything; Good luck, Commander Nams!

After sending this flag, the commander of the fleet of the Brutus family directly gave the order to lead the entire fleet back in the direction of the Brutus family. Yes, that's the direction of the Brutus family; They didn't even have the idea of returning to the port of the Scipio family, and went straight back to their base camp.

In fact, it was impossible for them to go to Scipio's harbor again; Because after this battle, the Scipio family no longer had a fleet of their own. However, the fleet of the Brutus family was unscathed, and such an outcome would undoubtedly cause discord between the two families, and the Brutus fleet had no choice but to return to the family base camp.
