Under the Legion Commander's direction, the charging fleet slightly adjusted their course without any pause. Following the diagonally pointed flags, they veered away from the Mexica's main force of large boats and in an instant, burst through the enemy's defense line, continuing forward with an arc. Soon, the vast fleet swept past the frontline battlefield like the wind, accelerating towards the downstream of the Lerma River.
Xiulote was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood.
"With the wind and water at our backs, speed up to the fastest, straight downstream... they're fleeing!"
The Young Commander swiftly waved the signal flag, and the third volley of Fire Arrows was launched, taking another ten-plus large boats with them. But the remaining Chapala fleet didn't linger, escaping into the Rivermouth leading downstream with the speed of a charge.
