Faced with Cleo's request, Iscus really found it very difficult to deal with. Pera is currently surrounded on three sides by the enemy and is in dire need of assistance. All the states of the Olympian Union have sent a large number of troops, but only the Southern Fleet has been stationary, which is naturally due to the idea of Marshal Ptolemy to preserve his strength, but this reason cannot be directly stated.

Iscus could only think hard about countermeasures, but after a long time, he could not find any excuse, so he had to reluctantly push: "This, the port of Paros is the base of the Southern Fleet, if we send out the whole army, then the base will not be undefended? Besides, to mobilize the fleet on a large scale, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the Imperial Council according to the regulations, and I have no right to ...... without the approval of the naval headquarters."

"According to the rules?!"

Cleo sneered and interrupted the other party's speech: "General Iscus, don't you know that this is a critical period of war, how can you wait for the approval of the Imperial Council!

"This ......"

Iscus was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, if it was the reign of Alexander IV, where would the armies have the heart to preserve their strength? But the situation is different now, on the one hand, he has won the trust of Ptolemy and has not long been the commander of the Southern Fleet, and he can only obey the command of the naval commander. On the other hand, he himself is not sufficiently qualified, and his position of power is not stable, so he does not dare to offend the noble Princess Cleo.

But in any case, it is absolutely impossible to lead the entire Southern Fleet to rescue Pera. Therefore, Iscus thought about it, and Zuihou could only continue to resist and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, you misunderstood, your subordinates didn't mean that." I am willing to lead the fleet to support Pera, but the generals are not necessarily willing to obey orders, please give me a little time to consult Field Marshal Ptolemy, and then I will set off at once!"

"Don't expect Ptolemy to come out for you! I'll give you an hour to think about it, and when the time is up, I'll send someone to hand over the jurisdiction of the port of Paros to you on behalf of the royal family of Pera and Delos, and if you don't start preparing to leave by then, you'll be disobeying the royal order and betraying the country!

Cleo snorted with a calm face, and disconnected the communication.

Iscus was shocked and angry, what kind of madness is this princess going to meddle in commanding the Southern Fleet for no reason? Isn't it that the Ajid family is declining and getting weaker and weaker, why is it suddenly tough again?! Her purpose cannot be as simple as supporting Pera, this matter must be strange, and she must report to His Excellency the Marshal as soon as possible!

At this moment, another herald burst in from outside, but Iscus, who had been struck by the blow, was already a little numb, and asked angrily, "What happened this time?"

The herald immediately shouted anxiously: "Report to the commander, a large number of air combat puppets are suddenly approaching at high speed over the port, and the number is estimated to be as many as two hundred!"

In the year 2046 of the Magic Calendar, a strange war took place over the island of Paros.

Both sides of the war were the armies of the Olympian Alliance, with the Southern Fleet on one side and the Delos Puppet Legion on the other. The unprepared officers and men of the fleet were suddenly surrounded by air from their former allies. They stood on the battleship in a daze, looking at the large number of puppets flying in the sky and dragging long fires on their tails, and they were all surprised in their hearts, and they didn't know what to do for a while!

"Commander, what should we do now?" asked a staff officer anxiously in the command tower of the flagship of the Southern Navy.

"Damn! Now I understand! All the accidents that happened this morning turned out to be the work of Cleo!" The gloomy Iscus gritted his teeth and ordered hatefully: "All the soldiers immediately rush to their respective posts and prepare for battle!"

"Why don't you strike first?" a staff officer immediately proposed: "They have air superiority, and although we have more firepower, if we let the other side take the initiative, I am afraid we will not be an opponent!"

Iscus hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said, "No! We must not attack the other party first, otherwise we will definitely be charged with treason!"

"But ......"

Just as the staff officer was about to continue the exhortation, a large amount of light suddenly flashed in the sky outside the command tower! Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see that the puppet regiment surrounding them suddenly opened fire on the harbor, and hundreds of rays of light shot out from the bodies of the puppets at the same time, and in an instant, they bombarded the group of warships! Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the port was on fire!

Iscus was so stunned that he couldn't help but curse angrily: "Are they crazy!

The fleet commander shouted as he ran to the glass window of the conning tower, his eyes wide and nervously observing the battle. Soon the sound of the explosion had gradually subsided, and the smoke of gunpowder slowly cleared, and Iscus was surprised to find that although the attack of the Puppet Legion of Air Combat was quite impressive, the destructive power was very average.

After a round of fierce bombardment, the main warships of the Southern Fleet were safe and sound, and the magic cannons fired by the opponent were completely unable to break through the heavy armor on the ship, and only some small ships were slightly injured to varying degrees!

"These stupid guys! With the combat power of this kind of broken puppet, they actually want to attack the Southern Fleet? What a joke!"

Iscus was overjoyed, and at this time he no longer cared about the identity of the other party, and turned back to the staff officer and gave a categorical order: "The whole fleet will immediately counterattack and let them know that it is powerful!"

"Understood!" the staff officer immediately turned and walked out.

After a while, the warships of the Southern Fleet opened fire one after another, and the dazzling flames intertwined with each other around the harbor, and the deafening explosions continued uninterrupted! Although the firepower of the battleships was much stronger than that of the puppets, the rate of fire was relatively slow, and the aiming was very inconvenient. The Air Combat Puppets are extremely agile and constantly churning and dancing in the sky, and the heavy magic cannons of the Southern Fleet are completely unable to capture their figures!

As a result, the two sides continued to bombard each other fiercely, but after a long time, they never caused the other side to suffer any substantial losses. Seeing that the attack could not achieve results, the puppet army began to slowly retreat to the periphery, and the fleet that had gained the advantage naturally did not let the other party leave easily, and immediately followed closely behind it to continue the pursuit......
