Saint George (KAP) - Between 6 and 8 October 1467, the maritime fleet of the Ordo Negrum Equites (O.N.E.) forced the entrance to the port of St George by destroying a large part of the Greek fleet. Headed by the Prince of Wallachia, the organisation's fleet approached the port of St George, at the foot of Mount Athos in Greece. The fighting took place at sea and within the port. After sinking a Greek reconnaissance ship, the ONE fleet invited itself into the port and sent 8 war carracks, 3 Genoese ships and a merchant carrack to the bottom. The estimated cost of the losses are ECU 179,000, according to calculations by a member of the Order, Dilligaf.

Why did they do that? If Dilligaf mischievously invokes "environmental reasons" to justify the destruction of the Greek fleet, the truth is elsewhere. The Ordo allegedly obtained information that the Greeks were about to sell warships to the Bulgarians, transporting them to the Black Sea in order to ruin the Sulina arsenal built with the help of the French Admiral. Bulgarians and Romanians being in a state of endemic war, travellers are strongly advised against travelling in the Balkans at the moment. Five Romanian armies are currently camping in Vidin, cutting off the road to the bridge over the Danube and cutting down all living souls.

We contacted the Earl of Hellada, Fanis, to ask him for details about what had happened. He seemed to have discovered the news accidentally after opening our mail and says that "government ships are in dry dock". Nevertheless, the Count had access to the summary of the battle, thus knowing the names of the sunken ships*. While he claims to know nothing, he does not deny the facts reported.
