Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 65: Decisive battle (2)

"An empty ship? What the **** is this doing? Isn't it possible that this time it wasn't the ghost of the Greeks?" The dubious Venetian noble frowned and was about to order the two warships back. But the moment he stretched out his hand to give the order, he heard a loud noise.

"boom--"

The sound like the sky and the earth was deafening, and the momentum like a thunderbolt in a blue sky made the Venetian who witnessed it for the first time pale. However, in comparison, what is happening right now is even more terrifying. Under the eyes of everyone, only half a second later, fierce fires shot into the sky from under the shaking hull, engulfing amazing air waves, they actually shattered and drilled through the solid deck, causing a violent explosion. , The incandescent flame engulfed those who were still running on the ship. The person who tried to jump off the boat was also knocked out into the sea by the blast wave in an instant.

What’s even more shocking is that the explosion did not mean to calm down at all. Using the paddle boat of unknown origin as its radius, it directly swallowed the two surrounding Venetian warships. The bow of the cast iron turned directly into a pile of fragments. The warship that should be extremely strong is like a leaf boat that is vulnerable to the sweeping storm. Visible to the naked eye, the impact of huge air waves directly tore the keel and hull of the warship, and the fiery waves of fire also swallowed the unprepared Venetians at the same time, leaving no bones behind.

Seeing this scene, the Venetian nobleman who had never expected it to sit down, pointed at the blazing flames burning in the sea in front of him with his fingers and opened his mouth speechlessly.

"This this……"

It was completely beyond his cognition. As far as he knew, even the fire of the seas of the Romans could not cause such damage. In an instant, the three warships were annihilated in front of his eyes. What a terrifying power this is, it's as if it was stolen from the devil. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain what happened in front of me.

However, while the Venetians were still immersed in the scene that happened before their eyes, an attacking horn sounded. At this time, the prelude of the Roman army's attack, however, did not come from the ground but from behind the tall reef at sea. . It was the reinforcements of the Romans, they really showed up!

Seeing all this with incredible eyes, the Venetians were all stunned. At this moment, a huge fleet finally appeared in front of them, and the two-headed eagle and the black fox on the leading flagship were both at the same time. A hideous expression fluttered in the sea breeze.

"Enemy attack!" The Venetians, who could not take care of many, finally realized the seriousness of the gaffe. They had never expected that things would happen to this point. The Greeks on the opposite side actually had a navy that was comparable to their strength.

This is absolutely impossible. The previous imperial armaments should be depleted and the sea power should be lost, and the only preserved navy should be in the hands of the Lascaris family of Nicaea. Epirus was unable to organize a decent navy in this short period of time. There is only one explanation, that is, what power is behind the Greeks to support them.

"Damn it, **** it!" The Venetian who gritted his teeth immediately responded, even though the enemy in front of him is no longer the petty trouble they encountered in the port of Piraeus, but they still have the ability to fight at sea. Self-confident. As long as all the Greek reinforcements are wiped out at sea, the situation of the battle will be clear.

"The whole army-offensive!"

Raising the long sails and stretching out the wood pulp, the Venetians are worthy of being a nation on the sea, and the heavily armed warships attacked the incoming Roman navy without fear.

At the moment, on the other side, it was not Justinian who commanded the naval battle, but Baron Pierre, the Pizza. After all, the Pizzas who are also familiar with naval battles on the sea are obviously more reliable than Justinian’s men. . Now the two are already grasshoppers tied to a rope. In order to better contain the dominance of the Venetian family, Pierre also bet everything this time.

Looking at the Venetian navy approaching, although he was still a little nervous, at this moment, the man had no longer hesitated. Justinian’s previous performance of the so-called "New Greece Fire" was far beyond his expectations. This power also shocked his heart. Although there was a lot of fear, he was more full of the next battle. Gained confidence. I was already dissatisfied with the domineering Venetians, and Pierre and his pizzas were also thinking about fighting the Venetians to see what the power balance between the two sides was. Anyway, what he represents now is the Roman navy, and the other party can't get a handle.

And looking at his masterpiece in front of him, Justinian's face also showed a satisfied look~www.ltnovel.com~Everything is really under control, although a lot of inventory was consumed and a sailboat was reimbursed, But relying on the gunpowder placed under the ship, he successfully abolished the opponent's two warships in one fell swoop. But this can’t be replicated a second time. The first Venetian can’t be a second time. Secondly, the confined space and the amount of gunpowder are also very demanding, but everything is worth it, because the scene just now is not just for the enemy The weakening of power is even more an encouragement to morale. With the fall of Constantinople, Venice's power as a maritime hegemon has reached an unprecedented peak. It is impossible to deal with them if they are wrong. That's why he chose this way of appearance, and the conceited Venetian did not disappoint him.

"Everything is up to you, Neusky." Justinian asked, looking at the man beside him. He was not on Pierre’s flagship, but chose another warship and commanded this. The ship was Nevsky, a Varangian. Although he was a Janitor, this man had also served in the Imperial Navy, and the water conditions in the Aegean Sea were not worse than those of the Italians.

Nevsky, who was driving the warship through the waves, also nodded. Although the Venetians must still have the upper hand in terms of strength, the power of the "new guardian fire" that Justinian made was obviously even more amazing. It seems that even though The situation they face in the current decisive battle is not a disadvantage, but a real hope of a comeback!

At the same time, the Roman army, unable to shrink on the hills of the Acropolis, finally noticed the movement of the sea. When they checked the situation, they finally witnessed the scene of the reinforcements led by Justinian and the Venetian navy. And the Greeks, who had almost given up hope of continuing to fight, also burst into cheers again at this time, and the courage to fight continued.
