I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 150 Reinforcements from both sides arrive separately

The commander of the Mycenaeans was personally held by the gray-haired Mycenaean king Acrisios.

Acrisios personally commanded a thousand soldiers from Mycenae, and another thousand soldiers from Tiryns, personally commanded by the king of Tiryns, Acrisios' brother Protus. command.

As the brother of Acrisios, Protus was not only the king of Tirens, but also a priest of the gods.

Acrisios was the high priest of Zeus, and Protus was the high priest of Poseidon.

Therefore, in the ancient legend of another world, Protos is a deified sea prophet, who can not only predict the past, present and future, but also become a lion, dragon, flowing water, trees, etc.

Acrisius and Proteus had intended to end the battle by evening, taking Sisyphus, king of Corinth, and his family captive.

Seeing that Roy's legion intervened in the war and quickly killed a large number of Mycenaean soldiers, Acrisius said with a serious expression.

"Protos! It seems we are doomed not to conquer the Corinthians today."

Protos agreed.

"Brother! Our soldiers have been exhausted from fighting in the morning to the afternoon. Now that the Corinthians are receiving assistance, we should indeed avoid unnecessary casualties."

The two brothers reached an agreement, and Acrisius immediately ordered the messengers to sound the retreat horn.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the Mycenaean soldiers who had been attacking fiercely immediately moved away from the city of Corinth like the ebb tide.

After the Mycenaeans retreated leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Loi did not pursue them with his soldiers.

Because it is impossible for Roy to rely on 350 soldiers to defeat [-] Mycenaean soldiers.

Confirming that the Mycenaeans had really retreated, King Sisyphus of Corinth came to Roy with more than 100 personal guards using bronze weapons, and said with a warm smile.

"Dear friends! Thank you for standing on the side of justice and helping us. On behalf of all Corinthians, I thank you for coming. Can you let me know your identities?"

"I'm Roy from Athens."

Roy said with a faint smile.

"Dear Sisyphus! In order to help the city of Corinth, we came by boat as fast as possible. And I brought all the soldiers, and no one stayed on the boat. Now, can you send someone to help us guard the boat? "

"So you are from Athens."

Knowing the identities of Roy and the others, Sisyphus enthusiastically grabbed Roy's arm and said.

"The great Pandion is willing to help us. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to the city of Athens. Now I will send someone to the port to guard the ships for you. If your ships are damaged or stolen, our city of Corinth will pay. Twice as many ships for you. Now—my dear friends, follow me to the Acropolis of Corinth, and let me entertain your honored guest."

"Dear Sisyphus, please forgive me for refusing your offer."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Now that the night is coming, the most important thing for me is not to enjoy your banquet, but to settle my soldiers so that they can eat, drink, and sleep well in the strange city of Corinth. After all, tomorrow, I will will lead them into a more dangerous war."

After listening to Roy's words, Sisyphus stared at Roy with wide eyes in surprise.

"Young man, you actually value the soldiers so much, then let's eat and sleep with the soldiers together!"

After speaking, Sisyphus ordered food and water to be prepared for all soldiers.

After nightfall, hundreds of bonfires were lit around the walls of Corinth.

The generous Sisyphus not only prepared food such as oatmeal and white bread for the soldiers, but also slaughtered hundreds of cattle and sheep for the soldiers to share the barbecue.

When Roy was grilling meat with Bai Yang and others, Sisyphus took his son Glaucus to the campfire where Roy was.

After Sisyphus and Glaucus sat down beside Roy, Sisyphus said with a solemn face.

"My young friend! Although we repelled the Mycenaeans today, it is not easy for us to completely defeat the Mycenaeans. Do you have any opinions on tomorrow's war?"

Sisyphus valued Roy so much not only because Roy was a reinforcement to help the city of Corinth, but also because all 350 soldiers of Roy used bronze weapons, which played a huge role in the war.

Roy did not answer Sisyphus' question immediately, but looked at Sisyphus and Glaucus with curious eyes.

Sisyphus was a king of about 40 years old, Glaucus a young prince of about 20 years old.

In the mythology of another world, Sisyphus and Glaucus had a great marriage with the sun god family.

Legend has it that the city of Corinth was built by Corinthus, the son of the sun god Helios, so the throne of Corinth belongs to the family of the sun god, and Medea of ​​the family of the sun god gave up the throne to Sisyphus.

Glaucus, the son of Sisyphus, became the god of the sea after his death, and once pursued Circe of the family of the sun god.

The city of Corinth has a legend that has a deep connection with the Sun God family, perhaps because before the sea goddess Amphitrite ruled the entire Corinthian region, some Corinthians once worshiped the native Sun God.

Later, the foreign gods along the Black Sea were integrated into Greek mythology, and the Sun God family inherited the origin of the local Sun God and the Corinthian region—just like the incarnation of the Moon Goddess of the Sun God family, replacing the local Moon Goddess of Crete as Minos Queen of kings.

After recovering, Roy said with a faint smile.

"Dear Sisyphus! Even if my soldiers are combined with yours, the Mycenaeans are still stronger than us, so I have no problem. Because our only choice is to rely on the city of Corinth. The defensive battle against the city walls will bridge the gap in strength between us and the Mycenaeans."

"I think so."

Sisyphus smiled and nodded.

"I will come to you, just because I am worried that you will have the idea of ​​fighting the Mycenaeans head-on."

At this time, in the barracks of Acrisios.

Acrisios and Protos were drinking, because of the daytime war, the Mycenaean army of 500 people suffered [-] casualties.

Although the strength of the Mycenaeans is still superior to that of Roy and Sisyphus, this war will hurt both sides and is not in the interests of the Mycenaeans.

Just when Acrisios had the idea of ​​retreating, the figure of Perseus walked into the barracks.

"Dear grandfather! Pelops and I brought a thousand soldiers from the city of Tiryns, and tomorrow I will personally join the battle to help you conquer the city of Corinth."

"Perseus—"

Seeing Perseus, Acrisius said in surprise.

"My child, you are finally here. As long as you can help me conquer the city of Corinth, I will make you the king of Corinth."

Hearing Acrisios' words, Protos showed displeasure.

Although Acrisios regarded his grandson Perseus as one of his own, Perseus was not the grandson of Protos, so Protos regarded Perseus as an outsider and opposed Perseus as a The city-state king who ruled over the Mycenaeans.
