The commander of the Southern Fleet, Iskus, was captured by the Black Dragon, and all the warships lost their fighting spirit after receiving this news. The naval officers who were already unwilling to fight the civil war stopped resisting and raised their hands to surrender.

Oni then commanded his men to rescue the soldiers who had fallen into the water, and towed the damaged ship to a large repair depot in the middle of the mountain behind. The chaos near the port of Paros finally calmed down until dusk, and all the points were occupied by Athenian warriors,

The battleships were all under control, and the main generals were gathered and temporarily arranged in a room to wait for the landing.

Iscus was sitting listlessly in his office inside the Central Fortress, his head hanging and not saying a word. And the main people on Delos also gathered here at this time to discuss their next move.

Cleo, who was sitting across from him, had discussed a few words with Eumenes and the others, and then said to the commander of the fleet, Daoqian, "Your Excellency Iscus, we are sorry to have invited you here in this way, and we hope that you will understand the difficulties we have to do and cooperate with us to find a solution that best serves the interests of both parties." ”

Iscus was expressionless, and continued to hang his head and not speak.

Celestia had to continue: "There are two things I want to state beforehand. First, now that Pera is under siege and in an extremely dangerous situation, your Southern Fleet should immediately go to support it, and you can't stay here all the time. Second, the Southern Fleet must be unconditionally subordinate to the royal command in times of war, but your behavior of secretly confronting us in cooperation with the vice-regent Melaculus is absolutely unacceptable! According to the law of the Alliance, your actions are enough to be put to death, but in view of the current war and the other reasons that have caused you to make mistakes, I have decided to pardon you for the time being!"

Iscus slowly raised his head and glanced at Cleo, the princess was talking in a high-sounding manner. He didn't obey the royal command, but now is not the heyday of the Ajid family, and there are more people who don't take the royal family seriously, can she still sentence everyone? Of course, the refusal to rescue Pera is indeed due to the selfish motives of the navy, and Iscus can't say any legitimate reason.

He sighed and defended himself, "Although I am the commander of the fleet, I am not powerful enough to make my subordinates obey my orders. It was the decision of His Excellency Marshal Ptolemy to hold the Southern Navy for the time being, and everyone only listened to him, and it would be useless for me to lead a fleet to rescue Pera. ”

Cleo and Oni glanced at each other and nodded: "You can ignore the previous things, but from today onwards you must obey the royal command and immediately lead the entire fleet out of the port of Paros!"

Iscus didn't talk immediately, and as Ptolemy's confidant, it was naturally impossible for him to turn to the Ajd family based on a few words from the eldest princess. But after thinking about it for a while, in order to get out as soon as possible, he had to reply helplessly: "I am willing to obey your orders, and I also intend to lead the fleet to rescue Pella, but this kind of thing is not something I can say alone." You must first negotiate with Your Excellency the Marshal, otherwise there will be an accident!"

At noon the next day, the Southern Fleet, under the command of Iscus, completed its basic reorganization and mobilization, left the port of Paros with the necessary supplies and headed for Pera in the north. The port of Paros suddenly became extremely empty, and only some of the mid-ranking admirals and small ships led by Adonis remained, and they turned their allegiance to Cleo, the princess of Perra, and Elrens, the new lord of Delos.

Things went so smoothly that it was beyond the expectations of Cleo and the others.

Yesterday evening, when Ptolemy, the Admiral of the Olympia League, was contacted, he was expected to be furious and react violently to the attack on the Southern Fleet and the capture of Commander Iscus.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Cleo's words, although his expression was quite displeased, Ptolemy still accepted the fait accompli relatively calmly, and agreed to give an order to send the Southern Fleet back to help Pella.

Regarding Ptolemy's unusually cooperative attitude, Cleo and Queen Mother Olympias could not understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this scheming admiral, so they could only ask the soldiers to be on guard, lest the other party suddenly kill him.

And at this time, the Thessanoniciki Fortress in Giantemun.

A large conference room was decorated with nautical furniture, the walls were covered with large, high-scale maps, and Ptolemy sat opposite several admirals in the light of bright candlelight. Everyone was extremely puzzled and depressed about what had just happened to the Southern Fleet not long ago.

"Your Excellency, I don't understand, Princess Cleo, who is clearly trying to drive out the Southern Fleet for the sake of the port of Paros, why do you agree to them so easily?!" asked the young general, Licas, with great dissatisfaction.

Ptolemy glanced up at Licas, the son of Polibercon, a general under the vice-regent Melagramus, and the other party's eyeliner in the navy, who had always strongly favored the alliance between the navy and the general staff, and at the same time opposed the navy's cooperation with the royal family or the base camp of Pera. Some time ago, he was beaten by the black dragon Elrens beside Cleo because of his jealousy, and later he was seriously injured by Seleucus, the general under the regent, and he hated both of them.

The marshal, of course, would not tell the truth in front of him, so he smiled slightly: "The port of Paros is too close to the island of Delos, and the Southern Fleet continues to stay there, and sooner or later it will be attacked by the other side." They have air superiority, coming and going like the wind is unguardable, and if they are worried every day, it is better to simply leave early. In fact, the situation in Pera is getting worse and worse, the enemy has recovered since the failure of the last attack, and we do need the support of the Southern Fleet as well. ”

"But ......"

The young general continued to dissuade him, but Ptolemy waved his hand and said, "I have already made up my mind about this, so I will not mention it again." When the fleet arrives, I will appoint you as the deputy commander, and I hope that you will cooperate well with Iscus and make meritorious contributions to the battlefield by killing the enemy! ”

When Likas heard this, he was overjoyed! Unexpectedly, he was promoted because of this, it seems that although the marshal did not say anything on the surface, he was still very dissatisfied with the arrogant behavior of the royal family in his heart, so he promoted himself, the deputy regent's agent, in order to curry favor with His Royal Highness Melaglos and strengthen the alliance between the two sides!
