Chapter 336 Reasons to Fight the Sun Tribe

The king's tent of the Amazon tribe.

After Roy and Hippolyta sat down at the guests' and host's seats respectively, they saw that the dining table was covered with pure gold bowls and plates, and even the forks and spoons were also pure gold tableware. Roy felt emotional again.

This is the luxurious life of a super gold mine——

While Hippolyta's servants brought barbecue, fruit, wine and other food, Roy took the initiative to speak to Hippolyta.

"Queen Hippolyta, do you really want to join forces with the Kingdom of Athens to deal with the Sun Tribe? I think the target that the Sun Tribe wants to deal with should only be our Kingdom of Athens."

"What good will it do for the Sun Tribe to deal with your Athens Kingdom?"

Hippolyta smiled confidently.

"Even if the goal of the Sun Tribe is really only the Kingdom of Athens, I can't tolerate the appearance of the vassal tribes of the Sun Tribe on the west side of the Amazon Tribe and surround our Amazon Tribe on three sides."

To the south of the Amazon tribe is the Aegean Sea, and to the east and north are the territories of the Sun tribe.

If even the west of the Amazon tribe becomes the territory of the Sun tribe and is surrounded by the Sun tribe on three sides, the Amazon tribe will have to truly submit to the Sun tribe and become a vassal controlled by the Sun tribe.

So even if the Sun Tribe's goal is really only the Kingdom of Athens, Hippolyta cannot tolerate the Sun Tribe controlling the west of the Macedonian Great Plain.

Since the Amazon tribe has sufficient reasons to join forces with the Kingdom of Athens to deal with the Sun tribe, Roy said with a bright smile.

"Queen Hippolyta! The Sun Tribe is undoubtedly our common enemy. How do you think we should deal with the Sun Tribe? Because of the rush of time, our Kingdom of Athens cannot summon more soldiers. I can only bring a thousand Five hundred Iron Spearmen went into battle."

"that's enough."

Hippolyta smiled.

"If you have too many soldiers, others will think that it was the Kingdom of Athens that defeated the Sun Tribe, not our Amazon tribe. Your Majesty the King of Athens! With the help of your Kingdom of Athens, I am very confident in defeating the Sun Tribe, so Now let's talk about the division of the spoils! After we defeat the Sun tribe, I intend to conquer the land west of the Sea of ​​Marmara, let us Amazon tribe have the ports of the Black Sea, and control the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Strait."

The expansion of the power of the Amazon tribe to the Sea of ​​Marmara is equivalent to increasing the territory controlled by the Amazon tribe by half, and Hippolyta changed from the queen of ten cities to the queen of fifteen cities.

More importantly, the Amazon tribe controlled the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and could control the sea lanes of the Black Sea world and the Mediterranean world.

In the era after 600 years, it was because of the control of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus that the Husky Kingdom turned the Black Sea Fleet of the domineering Raksha Kingdom into an Inner Lake Fleet.

Defeating the Sun tribe, the Amazon tribe will get such huge benefits, what can the Kingdom of Athens get?
"Queen Hippolyta! Defeating the Sun Tribe, what is the spoils of our Kingdom of Athens?"

"I'll give you a thousand horses and ten thousand catties of gold as trophies—what do you think?"

a thousand horses?
Ten thousand catties of gold?

Are you treating me as a mercenary hired by you?
Although Roy was dissatisfied with the distribution of the spoils, he could not object.

Because the Kingdom of Athens simply didn't have enough people to migrate to the Thrace region to control the Dardanelles or the Bosphorus.

In order to relieve his depressed mood, Roy changed the subject and asked while looking at Hippolyta's graceful figure.

"Queen Hippolyta, I have a question for you. You will become the queen of the Amazon tribe, because the Amazon tribe that worships the moon goddess Bendis has a tradition of letting the princess inherit the throne?"

"no!"

Hippolyta shook her head and said.

"I became the queen of the Amazons by accident! Before me, all the leaders of the Amazons were men. When my father became the king of the Amazons, all my brothers died, so I will inherit The throne becomes queen."

"Then do you have a husband now?"

"Although I have, I don't have a husband yet, because my husband must be a stronger man than me."

Thinking of the battle she lost to Roy, Hippolyta blushed, looked at Roy with burning eyes and said.

"Why do you care about whether I have a husband? If you want to be my husband, I agree that you are qualified to propose to me, because you have defeated me before, and you are a stronger man than me."

Propose to Hippolyta—

Thinking of the many girls around him, Roy could only say with a wry smile.

"Queen Hippolyta! If we could meet earlier, I would definitely pursue you, because you are as beautiful, noble and powerful as a goddess. But I already have a fiancée, and I believe you are not willing to marry other girls serve the same husband."

"exactly!"

Knowing that Roy already had a fiancée, Hippolyta smiled wryly with a disappointed expression.

"It seems that I want to marry a husband who is stronger than myself-this condition may prevent me from marrying for the rest of my life."

After Hippolyta's servants brought barbecue, fruit, wine and other food to the table, Loy and Hippolyta enjoyed the food on pure gold tableware while exchanging information about the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribes.

Knowing that the Kingdom of Athens has white salt, grain, bronze, olive oil and other commodities, Hippolyta stared at Roy with greedy eyes like a leopard staring at her prey and said.

"King of Athens, your Kingdom of Athens is really rich. Almost all the goods in your Kingdom of Athens are what we need. I want to use gold to buy your white salt, bronze, grain, olive oil and other commodities. Would you like to sell them to us? ?”

"What do I need so much gold for?"

Roy said helplessly.

"Queen Hippolyta! I told you a long time ago that in this age of barter, gold can neither be eaten nor made into weapons or agricultural tools. If you are willing to exchange commodities such as cattle, sheep, horses or wool , our Kingdom of Athens can trade with the Amazon tribe."

Of course, Roy knew that the trading of white salt, grain, and bronze between the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe might make the Amazon tribe stronger.

When the Kingdom of Athens becomes an enemy with the Amazon tribe, the Amazon tribe will be a stronger enemy than it is now.

But the Amazon tribes are sitting on gold mines. Even if the Kingdom of Athens does not trade with the Amazon tribes, there will be other merchants who will sell goods to the Amazon tribes in exchange for their gold.

Since the Amazon tribe cannot be prevented from trading with other merchants, it is better to allow the Kingdom of Athens to exchange these commodities for the cattle, sheep, horses and other commodities of the Amazon tribe, and also let the Amazon tribe form a trade dependence on the Kingdom of Athens.

Hippolyta nodded in agreement.

"You are right, then let's trade with commodities such as cattle, sheep and horses! But you must give us a reasonable price, and you cannot lower the price of our commodities."
