I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 163 The Shura Field Has Not Started Yet

The city of Corinth has two ports, the north and the south. The north port is moored for ships heading to the Gulf of Corinth, and the south port is moored for ships heading for the Aegean Sea.

When the day came when Roy and Harmonia left Corinth, Sisyphus and Glaucus went to the southern port in person and called for twenty large ships to transport Harmonia's five hundred soldiers.

After Roy took Harmonia aboard the flagship of his ten large ships, he stood at the stern and waved goodbye to Sisyphus and Glaucus on the pier.

When Roy's ten ships and the Corinthian's twenty ships left the port, Sisyphus looked at the thirty ships with a complicated expression and said.

"It is estimated that when we meet next time, Roy's identity will become the king of Athens."

"Why did father say that?"

Glaucus said suspiciously.

"Roy's identity is only Pandion's son-in-law. Pandion must have made his son Erechtheus his heir. Even if Pandion is willing to make Roy his heir, he has no reason to let Roy inherit his identity and power now. After all, he just turned 40."

"You—you're still too young."

Sisyphus smiled and explained to his son.

"If Roy hadn't brought Harmonia to the city of Athens, even if Roy's relationship with Harmonia was exposed, Roy would have been able to prevent the conflict between him and Pandion from intensifying. But now Roy has taken Harmonia Unless Roy publicly expresses that he wants to make Pandion's daughter his wife and Harmonia as his concubine, he and Pandion will definitely tear each other apart, because Pandion cannot tolerate Roy making his daughter his concubine. humiliation."

Port of Piraeus.

At noon when the temperature rose to around [-] degrees, thirty large ships sailed into the port mightily.

After 850 heavily armed soldiers came to the shore, there was a commotion among the Athenians in the port.

Because more than half of these 850 soldiers are strangers from other places.

Loy and Harmonia came to the shore hand in hand, first let the twenty large ships of the Corinthians leave, and then shouted to the Athenians in the port.

"Don't be nervous, these soldiers are all our own."

Now Roy has the prestige to convince ordinary Athenians. Hearing that Roy described the Thebes soldiers as his own, the Athenians in the port began to continue their work.

Loy and Harmonia also left the port with their soldiers and headed for the city of Athens not far away.

Looking at the city of Athens protected by the concrete walls, Harmonia said excitedly.

"Honey, this is your Athens city!"

Roy corrected with a smile.

"This is not my Athens, but our Athens."

When they came to the west gate of the city of Athens, the soldiers guarding the gate saw the army behind Roy. Even if they knew Roy's identity, they had no choice but to stop Roy from saying.

"Priest Loi, you cannot bring so many soldiers into the city of Athens."

"They followed me to defeat the enemy, and now they are triumphant, I must take them into the city of Athens."

"But most of them... are not Athenians!"

The defenders pointed out the problem straight to the point, and Roy immediately said in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

"Since you know my identity, you should know that you have no right to stop me from bringing the victorious soldiers into the city of Athens."

After speaking, Roy pulled Harmonia through the city gate and entered the city.

The soldiers behind followed Roy into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them.

After all, Roy's identity is not only the priest of the city of Athens, but also the fiancé who is about to marry Princess Procne.

If they really offend Roy, I'm afraid they will not only have no credit, but also be punished by Roy.

Inside the city of Athens.

After ordering 850 soldiers to garrison the square at the foot of the Acropolis, Roy took Harmonia to the Acropolis.

The two came to the gate of the Acropolis, because Roy only brought Harmonia, so the soldiers at the gate of the Acropolis did not stop Roy.

After passing through the gate of the Acropolis, Roy was surprised to see that the Athens Palace on the Acropolis Hill was not only guarded by soldiers, but there were also many servants and maids walking around in the palace.

"During the time I was away, the Athens Royal Palace had been built, and there were still people living in it?"

Roy and Harmonia walked towards the palace, and before they reached the gate of the palace, they saw Procne, Philomela, Chione and Pandora walking out of the palace.

"Brother Roy!"

Seeing Roy outside the palace, Procne immediately ran over happily and threw himself into Roy's arms.

Seeing Roy holding hands with Harmonia, Philomela showed an unhappy expression on her small face.

"Procne!"

Roy patted Procne's back with his left hand and said.

"Everyone is looking at us, do you want to keep hugging?"

Procne shyly left Roy's arms, only to notice that Roy and Harmonia had been holding hands.

"Brother Roy, is she your new concubine?"

Hearing Procne's words, the smile on Harmonia's face froze instantly.

Without waiting for Roy to explain, Pandora spoke first.

"I told you a long time ago that Roy will bring back a new side room, you believe it now!"

Hearing Pandora's words, Roy and Harmonia looked at Pandora with surprised eyes.

Philomela said coquettishly.

"Brother Luoy, you went to help Corinth City, why did you bring Pandora, but not me, my sister, and Keone?"

"Philomela, you said I took Pandora to help Corinth City?"

"Yup!"

Philomela nodded and said.

"When Brother Loy left Athens, Pandora disappeared. When Pandora came back yesterday, we found out that she went to aid Corinth with you. She also told us how you defeated the Mycenaeans. Thanks to Pandora in advance Tell us so we know you've got another side room."

After Philomela finished speaking, Pandora showed Roy a smug smile, as if asking for credit.

Roy suppressed the doubts in his heart and said.

"Since Pandora has already told you about my defeat of the Mycenaeans, my father-in-law should also know about it!"

"In order to celebrate Brother Roy's victory, my father has already prepared a banquet for Brother Roy in the palace hall."

Procne grabbed Roy's left hand and said.

"Brother Luoy, all the guests at the banquet are waiting for us, let's go to the palace hall!"

Roy originally wanted to formally introduce Harmonia, but after looking at Pandora, Roy finally decided to hide Harmonia's identity and understand the situation first.

After Roy let go of Harmonia's hand and entered the palace holding hands with Procne, Harmonia came to Kione and said.

"Hello! I thought I was the only girl with different hair and different eyes beside him, but I didn't expect you to be beside him. We are both girls with different hair and different eyes. I think we can be friends."

Harmonia took the initiative to express her kindness to Kione, and Kione hesitated for a moment before speaking to Harmonia.

"Seeing that your attitude is very good, I want to remind you not to ask for a position that doesn't belong to you."
