097: Dilemma

The Athenian general was furious in his heart, and Melaculus, a capricious villain, was really a good idea! However, the will of heaven was unpredictable, and he did not expect that the Nicaean fleet would win first and then be defeated, and collapse so quickly. If it weren't for the Goddess of Wisdom at the critical moment, if it weren't for her decisive turn to cooperate with the royal family of Pera, I'm afraid that Delos Island would have been occupied by the other party now, and even her daughter Oni would probably be caught.

In this way, not only Athens suffered heavy losses, but he would also be unable to make an effective counterattack because of the rat trap, and even be coerced by the other party and have to further obey him! Thinking of this, Pericles couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but fortunately, Princess Pera and the knights beside him appeared in time, which saved Athens, Delos and himself. In any case, they must be thanked!

But that's also for later, and the first thing to deal with at the moment is the Eastern Floating Fleet, which is still eyeing the vicinity of Delos.

So the Athenian general raised his head and said to the crowd in a deep voice: "Your Highness Cleo, Xiexie, you lend a hand. Otherwise, I am afraid that Melagramus would have succeeded in his treacherous plan by this time. Rest assured, the Athenian reinforcements have already departed and will soon arrive on the Floating Island, and I hope you will do your best to hold on until then!

Hearing Pericles' words, the eldest princess immediately replied in the most firm tone: "Haode, I will definitely do my best, and I will never let Melagaros succeed easily!"

The Athenian general nodded, and after a few more words of command to Onnie, the communication was disconnected.

Cleo and the others glanced at each other, and their hearts felt a little calmer. After all, the reinforcements are about to arrive right now, and although the Athenian warriors lack experience in air combat, they are not stupid or timid, and as long as they teach the right tactics well, they can also play an unexpected role. It's just that whether he can hold on to that time is still unknown......

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Pera.

The vice-regent, Melagros, with his very young face, was gloomy, pacing back and forth in the communication room irritably, while talking to Admiral Polybocon, commander of the Eastern Floating Fleet.

"What the hell are you doing, what the hell are you doing, you can't even do such a little thing? Think about what kind of rhetoric you made before you set out!"

The bald middle-aged man known as Polybocon replied dejectedly: "My lord, who would have expected this? Originally, I thought that the Nicaean fleet was strong, so I did everything possible to delay the time, intending to wait for them to fight exhausted before suddenly appearing and taking advantage of the fisherman. I didn't expect those Nicaeans to be so weak that they would be defeated so quickly, and I hurried over but didn't have time to join the battle!"

"That's why I warned you a long time ago, don't pin your hopes on the Nicaeans, you won't get such a fate if you don't listen to me!" The deputy regent reprimanded him very dissatisfied, and then asked: "What about Ptolemy's Southern Fleet? As allies, you should seriously discuss and let them contribute, the Southern Fleet has been stationed there for many years, and will know some secrets on Delos Island, you can cooperate with them well, maybe you can find a breakthrough!"

At the mention of the Southern Fleet, the fleet commander immediately complained indignantly: "Don't mention the Southern Fleet! Ptolemy's subordinates are all greedy for life and afraid of death! When it comes to attacking Delos Island together, none of them are willing to take action, even if they say that the naval fleet cannot participate in air battles, they are not willing to send people into the teleportation array to the island to sneak attack. It's not sincere at all, I just want to sit back and enjoy it......"

"These greedy villains with no integrity!"

After listening to Polybeccon's account, Melagramus couldn't help but curse loudly and angrily, and his heart was depressed. Now that the Nicaeans and the navy can't count on it, they are left with their own Eastern Floating Fleet, but the defense of Delos Island is estimated to have been almost consumed, as long as you increase your strength, it should not be a problem to take it down. Although the Eastern Floating Fleet is its own only air liliang, it is worth it even with more casualties compared to the huge benefits that will be obtained!

Thinking of this, the deputy regent raised his head and said, "Don't care about the cowards of the Southern Fleet, we will attack Delos with our own army! How are you preparing now, and how long will it take to defeat it under the condition of controlling casualties?"

Polybocon hesitated for a moment, and replied uneasily: "Now we have reached the vicinity of our destination, but many middle and lower-ranking officers and soldiers are very emotionally incomprehensible when they hear that they are going to attack Delos. Even some high-ranking military officers believed that attacking a friendly country without obtaining an order from the central government was tantamount to rebellion. No matter how much I coerce and lure, it is useless, if I continue to force it, there may be a riot!"

Molle Agloston was furious and scolded viciously: "Fools! Of course, the soldiers don't want to beat their own people, but what do they know? Who told you to reveal the truth, wouldn't you have deceived them, made up stories, and told lies?

The commander of the fleet lowered his head and did not speak, and he was very unconvinced. It's really easy to coax the soldiers to attack Delos! Is it so easy to deceive, are they all fools? They are all much smarter than they imagined, and they will not be easily fooled at all! When I first started doing jihua, I thought it was seamless, but how did I know that once it was really executed, it was full of loopholes, and it was not the same thing at all!

The warriors thought that this attack was to resist the invasion of the enemy, but now that the Nicaeans had fled, it would be an attack on a friendly nation if they continued to attack Delos. According to the traditional regulations, this military operation must be ordered by the headquarters camp, the royal family and the imperial council at the same time, otherwise it will not only violate military regulations, but also be charged with rebellion!

What's more, the legendary Delos Island's magical defense system is very powerful, and if you don't attack it well, you will suffer heavy casualties. In this case, the warriors are definitely not willing to risk their lives while becoming traitors!

Looking at Polybocon, who had not spoken for a long time, Melagros became more and more annoyed.

Half of him was dissatisfied with the incompetence of his subordinates, and the other half was dissatisfied with his seemingly flawless Jihua, who had achieved nothing! Now the fleet was in a dilemma, and it was likely that it had aroused the suspicion of the Athenians and Nicaeans. It's really a loss to the lady and the soldiers, what should I do next?

Zuihou, the deputy regent had to say with a gloomy face: "We have offended the Athenians and Nicaeans, we can't just go home empty-handed! Now that the defense on Delos Island is weak, it is a good time, and if you miss it, you will definitely regret it! You must find a way to boost morale, if you can't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!"

With that, he stared at Polybeccon viciously. The commander of the fleet, who was forced to look at him, couldn't help but shiver, looking at the young and strange face of the deputy regent, and thinking of the terrifying evil methods used by the other party in order to maintain his youth, he was very frightened!

In order not to make himself a victim of the next evil law, Polybocon had no choice but to reply stubbornly: "Understood, my lord! I will do my best, and I will definitely not let you down!"

Melagros nodded with a grim face, and then turned off the communication. He sat down on the thick velvet chair and sighed deeply.

Just a few days ago, the situation was really good for him. Not only was his army strong, but he also allied himself with the navy and the Athenians, and the Nicaean were foreign aid, and his power was unparalleled for a while. At that time, he even felt that it was not impossible to take the position of regent and the royal family of Pera. But I never expected that these advantages would disappear in a blink of an eye!

This is all blamed on being carried away by temporary success and being too ambitious. At the instigation of some anxious generals, he engaged in some conspiracy to monopolize the interests of Delos. But no one else is a fool, where can they be easily fooled? The result is good, the Athenians and Nicaeans have been sinned, and there is only one unreliable Ptolemy left among the original allies!

In retrospect, as long as we move forward steadily in a down-to-earth manner, we may not be able to achieve the ultimate goal, at least not to the point where we are now. Alas, forget it! Now that is irreparable, the Athenians are more than capable of keeping and not enterprising, and it does not matter if they are offended. I just hope that Polybocon can perform well this time and not go home empty-handed......

Melagolos sighed alone for a few moments, and then decided to leave. However, at this time, a staff officer ran in and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, there is a communication request from Athens, may I ask if you can connect it now?"

A request for communication from Athens, the vice-regent was in his heart, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Pericles. It is estimated that this guy learned that the Eastern Floating Fleet appeared near Delos, and he panicked and wanted to protest to himself. Haha, I'm glad I've got an excuse ready to hear what this kid has to say!

So at the signal of Melagolos, the contact was quickly connected. After a while, the majestic face of the Athenian general appeared in the center of the screen.

"Lord Pericles, my old friend!" said Melaglos with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how you are lately, is there anything I can do to help you this time?"
