We saw the Persians arrive from on top of the hills. There was hundreds of boats sailing to Marathon. We were already prepared for this intense war. We were prepared to protect Greece.

First Phrase of the Intense Battle

The Persians waited for us to attack, but we stayed patient. Days and nights had passed and they still hadn’t ordered them to attack. Then the next night they made a crucial mistake. The commander ordered a large group of Persians to sail to Athens to destroy it. That’s when it happened. We attacked. We Athenians and a small amount of  Plataeans went in three groups.The left and right group attacked the Persians. They had left the water a dark red color from all the blood taken out of the soldiers. Bodies floating all around shore. While we attacked the other group lead the Persians backward. Then we all surrounded them.

The remaining of the Persians the battle ships, but we killed all of those enemies. Then all the boats retreated back home. We had won that war. A couple of years later we had had news about another invasion of Persia. We had been informed that Darius had started to train a huge army. But then he died and Xerxes his son had started to begin preparations for the next invasion. Now this time the Persians will have a bigger army.
