The Chronicles Of The Shark Empire

Blood Of Enemy On His Face

The attack began the night, with the troops divided into 250-strong platoons, the first platoon, with Sarpi in command, attacked the left flank of the enemy camp formation. it was a quick javelin attack, causing mayhem and some enemy casualties. The enraged Persians came after the Cretans, who ran screaming behind a nearby thicket.

When the Persians approached, they stepped on the traps, getting impaled by blades with feces or pierced by the javelins of the second platoon, positioned for the ambush.

after two intense days of constant surprise attack, one of the Cretan coalition's platoons was exterminated, its bodies being hung on crosses as an example to others.

Sadness and low morale spread through the coalition, everyone romanticized the war, fighting for their "freedom" but they weren't ready to die brutally or to be treated like pigs at the s*******r.

Even the Hyerostratos were in low morale, worsening troop performance in operations and causing more unnecessary casualties.

The Count seeing that, decided to give a day of rest to the forces of the other city-states, positioning them in strong defensive positions while he and his troops continued the surprise skirmishes.

Kiro and his slingers landed on the enemy's back, with just one day of ration, two reserve slings and 1000 men, ready to show their values to the Count.

Their mission was to take the port city of Paesos, making it very difficult for supplies to arrive for the Persian troops in Crete.

The first part of the trip was smooth, the second part not so much, because when they got off their boats, the enemy was already waiting for them.

With the Persians again underestimating the Greeks, they left only a unit of rookie spearmen with 100 men protecting this coastal region, which received so much stone that they were left looking like a puffer fish.

The fight had been short and b****y, with Kiro himself getting covered in the enemy's blood, when he went to the front lines and the enemy, pretending to be dead, took the opportunity to try to kill Kiro, who blew up the enemy's head using a stone in his hand.
