I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 178 King of Athens and Thebes
Because Mnemosyne did not reveal her figure, at this time, including Harmonia, others could neither see Mnemosyne's figure nor hear her voice.

After listening to Mnemoshine's questioning, Roy said with a faint smile.

"As the population of the Dorians continues to increase, their threat to the Thebes region will also increase. Without my wisdom, the Thebes region will be overwhelmed by the Dorians in at most another 400 years." If it is occupied, the Thebes will also be oppressed by the Dorians as slaves. At that time, the great goddess Mnemosyne will also fall from the throne of the patron saint of Thebes."

"you--"

Mnemoshine stared at Roy with wide eyes, and Roy met her eyes without fear.

In the end, Mnemo Xune said helplessly.

"It seems that you are very clear that I have no better choice. Even if you threaten me with the power of the king of Thebes in the future, it is better than Thebes have been invaded by the Dorians, so I will support you to become the king of Thebes." King of Bis."

After speaking, Mnemoshine's body burst into divine light.

The next moment!

Everyone in Thebes City could see Mnemoshine's [-]-meter-tall figure and hear Mnemoshine's voice.

"The great goddess Mnemosyne has come!"

Accompanied by an excited cry, the Thebes who saw Mnemosyne's figure all knelt on the ground devoutly to worship the goddess.

"Thebes!"

Mnemosyne declared with a majestic voice that resounded through the city of Bess.

"During the long time when I guarded the Thebes area, because the Thebes tribes all went their own way, you Thebes were scattered and weak. Now in order for you to build a united and powerful city-state, I have selected a group for you The king of Thebes, he is not only the king of the city of Thebes, but also the king of the entire Thebes region, all the Thebes who worship me, the name of this king of Thebes is-Loy!"

Hearing Mnemosyne call out his name, Loy took Harmonia up to the altar, then turned around and said loudly to all the Thebes around the altar.

"Everyone of Thebes! I am Roy, fiancé of Harmonia, and Roy, the king of Thebes chosen for you by the goddess Mnemosyne. Although I am a stranger, I will be like Harmony. Monia loves you as much and treats you as my people. Under the witness of the goddess Mnemosyne, I promise you that I will make all the people of Thebes live a prosperous life and no longer have to worry about food. I will also keep you safe from brigands, especially from the nomadic Dorians of the north."

After Roy finished speaking, Harmonia immediately shouted loudly.

"Long live Roy, king of Thebes!"

The surrounding Thebes also shouted.

"Long live Roy, king of Thebes!"

"Long live Roy, king of Thebes!"

With the support of the goddesses Harmonia and Mnemosyne, the Thebans accepted Loi as king of Thebes.

"Roy, you must do what you say."

After Mnemosyne left these words to Roy, her figure gradually disappeared, turning into a black divine light and returning to the peak of Mount Helikon.

After watching Mnemosyne leave, Roy said to the Thebes.

"Everyone of Thebes! Before becoming the king of Thebes who ruled the Thebes region, I was already the king of Athens who ruled the Attica peninsula. So under my rule, the Attica peninsula and the Thebes region will be one nation, the Athenians and Thebes will be one nation. Now the city of Athens is going to have a war with the city of Knossos in Crete, I hope the people of Thebes will support the Thebes soldiers Join this war and defeat the city of Knossos with the Athenians. Now the Thebes are fighting for the Athenians, and in the future I will lead the Athenians to destroy the Dorians in the north for the Thebes.”

Now the Thebes fight for the Athenians, and the Athenians will fight for the Thebes—

This sounded like a fair deal, so the Thebes didn't object.

After the coronation, Roy and Harmonia returned to the palace.

Roy followed Harmonia to the palace hall, and saw that the marble throne had been carved by craftsmen and placed on the steps deep in the hall, and the throne was covered with cushions sewn from bearskin.

When they came to the steps where the throne was, Roy said while lying on the wide throne with Harmonia in his arms.

"My dear, this bear skin is not as comfortable as a wool blanket. I can barely bear it if it is a tiger skin. It is better to replace this bear skin with a wool blanket."

"Since you don't like bearskin, I'll replace it with a wool blanket."

Harmonia said curiously.

"What kind of animal are you talking about the tiger? Isn't the tiger's fur very comfortable to sit on?"

Like the panda, the tiger is a large animal unique to the Asiatic continent.

In this era, people on the continent of Europa not only had not seen, but had not even heard of tigers.

Roy explained with a smile.

"Harmonia! The tiger is the most powerful carnivorous beast on land, and its overall strength is stronger than that of a lion. I think it is better to spread the tiger skin on the throne, because the tiger is the king of beasts, so Tiger skin can be worthy of the status of king."

"Where does the tiger live? I will peel some tiger skins for you and spread them on our throne."

"The nearest tiger habitat is thousands of miles away, and I don't really want to use tiger skins to cover the throne."

After 600 years, the number of wild tigers in the world has been reduced to less than [-], which is a rare and endangered species.

Of course, Roy didn't really want to use the tiger skin to satisfy his vanity.

Seeing that Roy was really not interested in tiger skins, Harmonia changed the subject and asked.

"Honey! The city of Thebes has a population of 2 and can recruit [-] soldiers. How many soldiers from Thebes do you want to take away?"

"Soldiers are more expensive than elites. I want to take away a thousand experienced veterans."

"can!"

Harmonia said without hesitation.

"I will let you take away a thousand veterans who have experience and use bronze spears, but I will stay in Thebes, and I cannot accompany you to fight the enemy. After all, you brought all the veterans of Thebes with you. Let's go, without me in charge, the city of Thebes is prone to chaos."

In order to support her war against Knossos, Harmonia was willing to let herself take away a thousand Thebes soldiers with bronze weapons.

"Harmonia—"

Roy hugged Harmonia in his arms full of emotion and said.

"Thank you for trusting me so much! In addition to the soldiers of Thebes, I will go to the island of Yubia and take away my 250 followers of the Phoenicians. Because the battlefield between me and the city of Knossos is not only on land, Especially at sea, I need Phoenicians who are suitable for sea warfare to help me win the sea battlefield."

The Athenians lived on the Attica Peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, and fishing was an important way for them to obtain food, so they were all adapted to sea combat.

The Thebes only had experience in sailing in the bay, so they obviously couldn't become the main force in sea warfare.
