I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 159 Sworn to end the war
Pelops' identity is only a messenger, and of course he is not qualified to accept Loy's request on behalf of the Mycenaeans.

So after Roy made his request to Pelops, Pelops immediately returned to Mycenae and told Roy's request to Mycenae king Acrisius.

When the Lion's Gate in Mycenae opened again, Acrisios personally led Perseus and Pelops out of the city on horseback to negotiate with Roy.

In a clearing at the foot of the Acropolis Mountain.

Roy took Harmonia and Glaucus to the center of the open space, and after facing Acrisius, Perseus, and Pelops on horseback, Acrisius took the initiative Said to Roy.

"Young man, you are the priest Loi of the city of Athens? I know you defeated my grandson Perseus, but I didn't expect that even I would be defeated by you in the battle to conquer the city of Corinth. A powerful young hero like you You are entitled to be respected by me, would you like to go to my palace as a guest, we will negotiate while enjoying the banquet."

Facing Acrisios' invitation, Roy shook his head without hesitation.

Although this era has guest etiquette and the host must protect the safety of the guests, it is not uncommon for the host to kill the guests in violation of the guest etiquette.

Whether the host will kill the guests in violation of guest etiquette depends on whether the host values ​​his own reputation or the benefits of killing the guests.

From Roy's point of view, he obviously has the value to let Acrisios violate the etiquette of guests and kill him at the expense of his reputation.

So of course Roy would not bet his own life, giving Acrisios the opportunity to control his own life and death.

"Achrisios, King of Mycenae! As your enemy, I will never enter the city of Mycenae as a guest now. I believe you will not accept my invitation and come with me as a guest Corinth. Since you Mycenaeans want to avoid war, accept my request, and you, the King of Mycenaeans, take a sacred oath on behalf of all Mycenaeans, promising that you Mycenaeans will never again Wage war against our Three Goddess Alliance."

"Who can guarantee the future?"

Acrisios said with a smile.

"If you ask me to swear that the Mycenaeans will never wage war on your Three Goddess Alliance, I simply cannot agree, because I have no right to make decisions for the future Mycenaeans."

"Then you are going to refuse my request?"

Roy frowned.

"If you Mycenaeans have no sincerity to avoid war, then let us use war to resolve our differences!"

"I'm not trying to reject your request, I just hope you can make some concessions."

Seeing that Roy did not directly refuse, Acrisios continued.

"Young Loi, I can make a sacred oath that in my lifetime, the Mycenaeans will not wage war on your Three Goddess Alliance. In exchange, your Three Goddess Alliance will not wage war on us Mycenaeans After my death, it is up to you to decide whether the Mycenaeans will wage war against your Three Goddess Alliance, or whether your Three Goddess Alliance will wage war against the Mycenaeans."

Of course Roy would not be naive to think that as long as Acrisius took the sacred oath, the Mycenaeans would never wage war on the Trinity.

After all, something like an oath can be broken as long as you pay a price.

Therefore, Acrisius is willing to guarantee that the Mycenaeans ruled by him will not start a war against the Three Goddess Alliance in his lifetime-this is a truce condition acceptable to Roy.

"Akrisios, I accept your terms. As long as you swear a sacred oath on behalf of the Mycenaeans, to ensure that the Mycenaeans will not wage war against our Three Goddess Alliance in your lifetime, you Mycenae This war started by man will be ended."

Hearing Roy's answer, Acrisius raised his right hand and pointed to the sky.

"I made an oath to the great god-king Zeus, and promised that the Mycenaeans will not start a war against the Three Goddess Alliance in my lifetime. If I break my oath, let the great god-king Zeus destroy me with thunder."

After Acrisius finished his oath, Perseus immediately said to Roy.

"Loy! My grandfather has sworn it, now it's your turn."

"Perseus, you don't have to worry about me breaking the agreement."

Roy and Perseus looked at each other, and then said to Acrisios.

"Now I swear to the great goddess Metis that we will not wage war against the Mycenaeans in the Argos region during the lifetime of Acrisius."

After hearing Roy's oath, Acrisius couldn't help but said.

"Loy! According to your oath, you just promise not to wage war on the Mycenaeans in the Argos region."

"That's right!"

Roy said frankly.

"My oath is only to prohibit the League of Three Goddesses from launching wars against the Mycenaeans in the Argos area. If you Mycenaeans enter other areas, we will break out wars with you Mycenaeans in other areas. Break the oath I made."

"you--"

Perseus showed an angry expression and wanted to accuse Roy, but Acrisios showed a faint smile and whispered in Perseus' ear.

"Perseus, do you think they can stop us from launching a war on Arcadia?"

The Arcadia region is located to the south of the Argos region.

If the Mycenaeans invade the Arcadia region, because the distance is too far away, the Alliance of Three Goddesses will have no time to stop it.

Having figured this out, Perseus said not to be outdone.

"Loy! Your Alliance of Three Goddesses can wage war against us in other regions, and according to the same standard, we can also wage war against you in other regions."

"If you Mycenaeans are strong enough, you can launch a war against the Three Goddess Alliance in other areas at any time. Now that we have reached peace, I should return to Corinth with our soldiers."

After Roy finished speaking with a smile on his face, he turned and left with Harmonia and Glaucus.

Seeing the figure of the three of Roy leaving with [-] soldiers, Acrisios said in a low voice with a serious face.

"They have too many bronze weapons! This is by no means the amount of bronze weapons they can obtain through normal trade. Did they discover copper mines and manufacture a large number of bronze weapons by themselves?"

Although this possibility is the greatest, Acrisius has not heard of copper mines appearing in the territories of Athens and Thebes.

"Perseus! You must find out why the Athenians and Thebes have so many bronze weapons. If they don't have so many bronze weapons, even if the city of Corinth gets the Athenians and Thebes With aid, we too can conquer Corinth."

No one noticed that Pandora was standing on the top of Chala Mountain, overlooking Roy's army.

Seeing that Roy's army did not engage in war with the Mycenaeans, Pandora said in a disappointed tone.

"What a pity! Roy didn't fight a tough battle with the Mycenaeans, so I couldn't understand how tough his soldiers are."
