He had no idea that the boat in front of him was full of dangerous gunpowder. Alphonso, who was full of joy, only wanted to make a fortune in the future, so he let his subordinates secretly open the iron chain blocking the bay and let go without any warning.

Others were also unaware of the coming danger. After all, they opened the wooden barrel and checked it. The top of them was indeed precious oriental spices such as cinnamon cardamom cloves. However, the pungent smell of gunpowder was just rightly covered up and was not suspected by anyone.

I saw that Genoa's boat slowly sailed into the Bay of Thessalonika and finally docked at the dock.

In order to prevent being suspected, Alphonso just asked the Genoese to moor the ship to the side of the dozen large and small warships of the Thessalonika Navy, which happened to be the thought of the Genoese man. Looking at this stupid scene, it seemed like digging a grave by himself, the merchant couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face. However, in the eyes of the surrounding Latin soldiers, they thought it was the joy of cooperation, and they didn't know that they had fallen into a trap.

"Then you will leave this to you." Seeing that the ship was ready, the Genoese merchant calculated that the time was almost done, and then took off his hat and said with a greeting. Alphonso arranged another ship to send Genoa's smugglers away. They had already set a date for the handover, and the generous merchant paid a large advance payment was enough to make him very moved. Because of this, even if he was found by Marquis Dennister and was severely punished, Alphonso decided to take risks. As for the others, these Italian mercenaries came for wealth, and of course they were willing to take risks for money. Compared with the rich loyalty of life, they could not care about it, so everyone was happy to see it.

Soon, the night became darker, and while holding a torch to watch the Genoese merchants leave, Alphonso couldn't hide his excited expression. Such a big business, when the war here ended, he could finally get rid of his current bloody life and no need to worry about making a living. While thinking in his heart, he was slowly preparing to return to his post from the dock, but suddenly Alphonso stopped his steps.

...

On the other side, he slowly sailed away from the bay of Thessalonika on a boat and looked at the bright moonlight in the sky. The merchant who completed the mission could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the previous Latin people on board to search, he was still worried about himself. If he hadn't prepared for it, even if the other party could not recognize the powder called "gunpowder". It was just that the spices he purchased at a high price would have burned them like this, which was really distressing.

He had never thought that he had been hiding his chess and cold pieces, who had been hidden in the snow, were awakened by Miss Antonia during this war. He was responsible for his heavy responsibility. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey him. However, he finally transported the things in secretly, and it was not up to him to take care of the next thing.

But before leaving, he needs to determine a few things-

"You have already lit the fuse before!" The man asked with some concern when he looked at his subordinates beside him.

And a few subordinates beside him quickly replied: "Don't worry, we've been lit, and I think the time should be almost done."

"That's good." The merchant who was relieved nodded, so that even if he failed, he could give Antonia Doria an explanation.

Looking at the merchant's expression, the other Genoese were still confused and asked, "It's just that boss, what exactly did Miss Antonia ask us to transport? It's so strange to let us be so careful, and it's just so strange to put it there."

"I don't know the specific, but it seems that it should be a burning weapon like the 'Greek Fire', so Miss Antonia told us to be careful." The man replied, but in fact, he was also curious about the power of the black powdered object in the barrel, which made his lady so afraid of it. But what puzzled him even more was that if the thing was burned like the Greek Fire, at most it could only burn one or two warships around. Miss Antonia had overstated the power of the so-called "gunpowder"!

...

The Genoa merchant who completed the purpose of this trip was dissatisfied and was preparing to leave Thessalonika City for a transfer. In his opinion, at most, the news of one or two warships being burned out in the city the next day and the more tight blockade of the sea by the Thessalonika defenders. However, at the same time, Alphonso, who was still ecstatic because of the transaction, couldn't help but board the cargo ship docked on the sea because of excitement, wanted to take a look at the oriental spices that were as expensive as gold. Even if they smelled their fragrance, they seemed to be in a treasure house full of gold and silver treasures.

However, as soon as he stepped into the dark cabin, he saw a little reddish Mars flashing in front of his eyes, and a faint hissing could be heard in his ears. The spark was only a few inches away towards the wooden barrel containing spices. Alphonso, who had never seen a fuse, certainly couldn't figure out what this was. However, an ominous premonition in his subconscious made him subconsciously want to stop it. However, when he touched the black and tried to move forward quickly, everything was already late.

The red spark jumped into the barrel, and the next moment, at the last moment of Alphonso's life - he saw that he had never seen incandescent before, and then the scattered waves swallowed him up in an instant.

boom--!!

The huge explosion sounded on the sea surface of the Bay of Thessalonika resounded through the originally quiet night sky. All the Latin defenders were stunned and the cargo ship left by Genoa exploded from it, and the terrified soldiers around flew out like fragments of explosion. However, the fire waves caused by the huge explosion swallowed everything around in an instant, as if even the sea water was about to evaporate. Even on the shore, the Thessalonika warship, which was affected by the first to be blasted on the sea, was shaking, and the broken hull was heard. Even the strongest keel bone was easily broken like a dying life.

"O God!" The helpless soldier was knocked away by the air waves. The survivors looked at the sea on the shore in panic, thinking that the end of the world had arrived, and murmured to himself that God could forgive them and give them blessings.

But all this was not over at all. "Boom-!!" Another loud bang, and a hot wave rushed out of the coast of Thessalonica. With the earth-shaking loud noise, the rolling smoke rose into the air like a covered sandstorm, accompanied by the gorgeous bloom of scarlet flames, and the explosion still did not stop, causing one night fire flowers to compete with each other.

With the explosions endlessly, the warships anchored on the sea were burned, and the broken debris fell like meteor showers, hitting the soldiers fleeing in a hurry on the shore without any mercy.
