Lambros Katsonis after liberating Kastelorrizo went north to continue his campaign in Kea island and succesfully [1] liberating Kastelorrizo went back the way he came through Karpathos and Kasos. The Turks approched from the north *Rhodes which was surrounded by Katsonis. The Turk fleet trying to cut katsonis of in kastelorrizo attacked but katsonis made it in time as his army succesfully fended of the attack as Katsonis and his fleet went north to Mani to get supplies after winning in these two battles. The merchent fleet of Kastellorizo and the rest of the dedocoenase increased. This would end [[The Dedoconease offensive]] [2]He would eye up Kea island in the winter as the victories in the dedoconease where a major blow to the Turks losing 13,000 men in a matter of a couple weeks. [3]This stage of the [[Katsonis Revolt]] is just the beginning. These embarrasing losses continued for the Sultan as he was forced to make the Ecumenical Patriarch Neophytos to write a letter to the people of the aegean under gunpoint calling Katsonis ''shenanigan and Pirate and Barbaric'' leading up to Battle of Tinos Strait where the sultans navy got humbled and destroyed. Katsonis' victories continued as the Sultan wanted to kill Lambros Katsonis and his troops instead of squashing the rebellion his goal was to capture Katsonis and his army which he failed to do.
