I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 176 The City of Athens after Loy left

For the city of Athens, the Mycenaeans and the city of Knossos are obviously enemies of different levels.

The Mycenaeans are just a large city-state force with a population of more than [-], and as foreign invaders, the Mycenaeans are in a situation of enemies on all sides. Even the result of a war that hurts both sides is unbearable for the Mycenaeans.

The city of Knossos is a super-large city-state with a population of 10. The only city-state that can threaten the power of Knossos with a radius of thousands of miles is the second largest city-state of Crete, Donia.

Facing the upcoming war with the city of Knossos, Roy dared not be careless, because the outcome of this war was crucial.

If the city of Athens wins this war, it will be able to replace the city of Knossos as the overlord of the Aegean Sea, allowing Roy to gain greater power and wealth.

If he loses this war, Roy will not only die, but even the girls around him will become the enemy's trophies.

The second day of Deucalion's visit to Athens.

The Royal Palace of Athens.

Roy summoned Procne, Philomela, Kaone, and Pandora to the palace hall, and said solemnly to the girls.

"When Deucalion returns to Knossos, he will surely summon an army to launch a war against our city of Athens. The preparation time left for the city of Athens is only seven days at the shortest. In order to win this war, I will go to The cities of Thebes and Corinth ask for help, and the city of Athens will be handed over to you. Procne! Philomela! I want you two to manage the specific affairs of the city of Athens. Chione! I want you to command The soldiers of Eleusis protect the safety of the palace. If someone makes trouble in the city of Athens while I am away, you must decisively let the white sheep lead the soldiers to destroy the troublemaker."

After listening to Roy's arrangement, Procne, Philomela, and Keone nodded.

Born in such an era, they also understand that the city of Athens is conquered by the enemy, and they will lose their current happy life.

Pandora said pretending to be displeased.

"Aren't you going to arrange a task for me?"

Roy got up and left the throne and said.

"If you love me like they do, you will never betray me, and I will give you part of the power to manage the city of Athens."

After speaking, Roy walked out of the hall.

Turning around and looking at Roy's leaving figure, Philomela said worriedly.

"Sister, can our city of Athens win this war?"

"We have to trust brother Roy."

Procne said with a confident smile.

"Since brother Roy did not prevent this war from happening, he must be absolutely sure of winning it."

Kaone also followed suit.

"The city of Athens has tall and strong walls. Even if the Knossos have ten times as many soldiers as us, it will be difficult to break through the city of Athens. But in fact, the number of soldiers that the Knossos can use to attack the city of Athens should be the largest Only two or three times ours."

"If the city of Athens didn't have the strength to fight against the city of Knossos, how could I come here."

Pandora turned to look at the south and said.

"It is not difficult for the city of Athens to be invincible, but it is difficult to defeat the navy of Knossos. If the city of Athens cannot defeat the navy of Knossos, the navy of Knossos can The blockade of the sea trade of the city of Athens prevents the city of Athens from obtaining food and other resources through sea trade. For the land-barren city of Athens, the blockade of sea trade by the navy of Knossos is the biggest crisis for the city of Athens.”

After Roy left the city of Athens on the black horse presented by Harmonia, the originally peaceful city of Athens immediately became undercurrents.

In order to overthrow Roy's rule, those little chiefs who were deprived of their special status and power by Roy began to spread the news that Knossos was about to launch a war against Athens in the city of Athens.

The cause of this war turned out to be that Roy, king of Athens, was greedy for beauty and robbed Pandora, the fiancee of Deucalion, the heir to the throne of Knossos.

In this era, of course, it is inevitable to go to war with the enemy.

The simple Athenians were willing to side with their king and wage war against any enemy, so long as there was a just cause.

But for a woman to fight against an enemy strong enough to destroy the city of Athens-this is obviously a reason for war that can break the defenses of the simple Athenians.

If Deucalion wanted Roy's woman, and Roy broke out with the city of Knossos in order to protect his woman, the simple Athenians could barely accept it.

The fact is that Roy robbed Deucalion's fiancée and refused to return Pandora to Deucalion, which led to the outbreak of the war.

Under the deliberate instigation of the little chiefs, more and more people in Athens were dissatisfied with Roy.

Pandora, a foreign woman, was also regarded by the Athenians as a witch who charmed men and caused the disaster of war.

In addition to provoking the Athenians' dissatisfaction with Roy in the city of Athens, the little chiefs also sent envoys to Pandion and Erechtheus, inviting them to return to Athens to set things right.

After all, without Pandion and Erechtheus as banners, no matter how dissatisfied the commoners were, they would not dare to stand up and say that they would overthrow Roy's rule.

Although Procne, Philomela, and Keone knew that news unfavorable to Roy was being spread in Athens, they could not stop the civilians from communicating in private, and could only continue to strengthen their control over the soldiers.

After Roy left the city of Athens, he rode fast all the way, and finally arrived at the city of Thebes at noon.

Compared with the last time Roy came to Thebes city, Thebes city has undergone tremendous changes.

In the center of Thebes, a cement palace appeared.

The population of Thebes also increased from around 1 to 2.

Roy came to the palace of Harmonia, and the soldiers guarding the gate of the palace recognized Roy, so Roy entered the palace unimpeded.

bang bang bang-

In the courtyard of the palace, a group of craftsmen were beating a piece of marble, making the marble gradually have the outline of a throne.

When Roy jumped off the black horse and tied the black horse to a big tree, Harmonia, who learned of Roy's arrival, ran out of the hall with bare ankles.

"Honey!"

Seeing Roy's figure, Harmonia let out a cry of joy, and then ran to the grass where Roy was without a trace.

"Harmonia!"

Roy embraced Harmonia, who had thrown herself into his arms, with both hands, and after holding Harmonia around a few times, Roy directly hugged Harmonia and lay on the grass.

Harmonia lay on Roy's body and said with a bright and sweet happy smile.

"Honey! I thought I would be separated from you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come to me so soon."

Roy said with some guilt.

"Harmonia, I didn't come here specifically to find you. I came to Thebes to gather the strength of Athens and Thebes to win an important war."

Then, Roy explained the causes and consequences of the war between Athens and Knossos, and finally said.

"Even if Pandora didn't become the fuse of the war, the city of Athens and Knossos would still be at war. Harmonia! I hope you don't treat Pandora as a rival in love and refuse to help me win this war."
