The Chronicles Of The Shark Empire

The New Leader Of The Spearmen

a month had passed, and now Sarpi could read and write the Minoan language masterfully. he knew how to do all sorts of math too. even he was interested in a noble madame who passed near his training ground.

Upon returning to the tower to speak with the Count, he completed a quick ceremony, making Sarpi the leader of the spearmen.

the former leader of the spearmen, who called himself Kreib, was leaping with happiness at being promoted to baron, acquiring land and troops to command.

Sarpi, who wasn't dumb, began to wonder if his promotion hadn't been too premature, as he barely knew them well and had already received a good promotion.

but he came to understand that Crete lacked men because of the constant wars with the city-states of Greece.

in some areas, women dominated in numbers, as most men were directed towards the military-administrative area.

And about the boats that were besieging Crete, they were gone, because the boat that Sarpi sank was with leaders of various factions, most of whom drowned.

Including one of the kings of Sparta, Akelaceus II.

They continued to attack the Kingdom of Crete, as the oracle had said that among cretins was the treasure for eternal life.

Since the people of Crete were Cretans not cretins. but as for the Greeks it mattered little, so they continued to attack. month after month.

In this way the Kingdom of Crete saw itself more and more weakened. which led to our beloved shark in command of 100 men.
