With the cooperation of Mayor Kasina Cheyev, the French Empire no longer needed to waste the ironclad's shells to intimidate the town, so the two ironclads returned to Kalamat Bay.
The troopship directly docked at the pier of Yevpatoria Town, and wooden stairs gradually lowered from the troopship to the port dock.
The residents of the town all ran to their rooftops and balconies to watch the unveiling of the Zouave Corps soldiers at the port. With the sound of a loud trumpet from inside the troopship, soldiers of the Zouave Battalion, dressed in traditional blue and white French Army attire, followed their unit leaders down the wooden stairs.
It took nearly an hour and a half for all 2,900 men from the three battalions to disembark. Looking at these elite soldiers before him, Mayor Kasina Cheyev couldn't help but feel relieved about his decision.
