Riding the sea breeze on a clear morning, ships anchored around the military harbor set sail away from the coast.
Thousands of warships filled the seas, each vessel carrying hundreds of soldiers.
Replenishing supplies, patrolling, guarding... The fleet mobilized en masse, leaving no reserve of strength behind.
Following a simple and straight line, the Athens Navy journeyed directly forward.
According to the current progression, what would normally take over a month to reach the projected location took only half a month to approach the target position.
After all, there was no need for prior reconnaissance, no need to guard against enemy sneak attacks, nor a need to navigate through more suitable channels.
Hence, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and naturally, the extra time spent was saved.
However, despite the rapid speed of the advance, there was no sense of joy among the entire fleet.
