I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 337 I Will Help You Win the War

Silent night.

Roy couldn't sleep in the tent arranged by Hippolyta, so he went outside to enjoy the night sky.

The night wind in early summer blows slowly, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

It's a pity that there are not only many wild animals on the grassland, but also many harmful or harmless insects that are active at night.

"After I conquer the grasslands in the north, I must cover the ground with cement to keep all kinds of animals and bugs away from the living space of humans."

When Roy was thinking about his future plans, two divine lights suddenly descended from the sky and turned into two hundred-meter-tall gods on the banks of the Strymon River. They were the goddesses of the moon and hunting, Bendis and the Amazons. Dionysus, god of wine.

The two gods confronted each other across the Strimon River, and the goddess Bendis looked at Dionysus with a look of disdain and teased.

"Dionysus, the Pelos tribe you guarded was wiped out, and now you are a wandering god who has lost his territory. What is the purpose of you coming to my territory? If you want me to help you regain the territory, then don't Open your mouth, it has been proven that I cannot defeat the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens."

"Dear Bendis, I am not asking you to help me regain my territory."

Dionysus said with a bright and beautiful smile.

"I'm here to propose to you! I want you to marry me and let me share your territory and authority."

"What did you say--"

Hearing Dionysus' declaration of eating soft food, Bendis said with wide eyes in surprise.

"It's a shame that you can say such shameless words. Are you still a man like this? Don't say that I have no intention of getting married at all. Even if I really want to get married, I will only marry a male god who is stronger than me. Like How could I agree to marry you, a waste like you who can't even protect yourself."

"Bendis, don't you really think about it?"

Dionysus said without hesitation.

"I plan to find father gods, mother gods, brother gods, and sister gods who are willing to make me a son and younger brother in the Aegean Sea region. When I have a powerful father god, mother god, brother god, and sister god, my authority will also It will improve accordingly. Now that you don't want to marry me, maybe you will regret it in the future."

"To shut up!"

Bendis said disgustedly.

"Are you still a god of nomads? Even as a goddess, I am a hunting goddess with a war attribute, and I don't need to rely on other male gods. As a male god, you can only rely on other gods s help."

"I can't help it! Who told me that my godhead is Dionysus!"

Dionysus said helplessly.

"Do you think I want to degenerate myself? If I have the godhead of war, or even the godhead of the sun——unfortunately, the reality is that I am a god of wine who is useless in the war between humans and gods."

"Dionysus..."

Bendis frowned and said.

"Although I feel sympathy for you as Dionysus, I will not help you, let alone agree to marry you because of sympathy. Leave my territory immediately before I expel you by force."

"You are so ruthless!"

After saying this with a smile, Dionysus turned into a ray of light and flew towards the Asia Minor peninsula.

After Dionysus left, Bendis did not leave, but looked at Roy with fierce eyes, obviously she had noticed Roy's gaze.

"Can you see me and Dionysus?"

Roy nodded honestly.

"Great goddess Bendis, I can indeed see the form of your gods."

"Then I will give you a warning, don't do things that are not good for the Amazon tribe."

After finishing speaking, Bendis turned into a ray of light and flew towards the mountainous area in the north.

After confirming that Bendis had left, Roy said with a smile.

"Bendis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt—her stubbornness really resembles Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. No wonder that in the history of another world, the Greeks deliberately confused Bendis with Artemis to make Artemis Themis replaced Bendis as the goddess of the moon and hunting. After the Thracians established the Phrygian Kingdom in Asia Minor, Bendis also became the goddess of the moon in Asia Minor. The Temple of the Moon, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, may It is dedicated to Bendis, perhaps the moon goddess of the Hittite Empire. Because of the confusion between Bendis and Artemis, the Temple of the Moon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was also wrongly named Artemis Shrine."

Just as Roy was about to return to his tent, Hippolyta's voice suddenly reached Roy's ears.

"Can't you sleep either?"

Roy looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Hippolyta walking over in a thin white cotton nightgown.

The bright moonlight shone on Hippolyta, making her as beautiful as a moon goddess.

Hippolyta walked up to Roy, seeing Roy's wide-eyed eyes, she said with a bright and sweet smile.

"Is your current reaction because of my beauty? Even the mighty King of Athens was defeated by my beauty. It seems that everyone's praise for my beauty is true."

"I'm not overwhelmed by your beauty."

Roy came back to his senses, looked at Hippolyta with a complicated expression and said.

"But I admit that your beauty will not lose to other girls! It's a pity that your beauty will not only not become your weapon, but also bring you disaster. Those men who are stronger than you may not conquer the Amazon tribe I will wage war against the Amazon tribes because of your beauty, and take you by force."

"I want to join hands with you to defeat the Sun Tribe just to avoid this from happening."

Hippolyta said with a serious face.

"Among the forces adjacent to the Amazon tribe, the only men stronger than me are Aeetes, the tribal king of the Sun tribe, and you, the king of Athens. As long as you defeat the Sun tribe, you are the only one who can conquer me by force. "

"Then you are not worried that I will use force to take you as my own?"

"If you really want me, you can propose to me now."

Hippolyta smiled.

"I can see that you really don't get what I want."

Hippolyta was right.

Although Roy was amazed by Hippolyta's beauty, she really didn't get her thoughts.

When the Kingdom of Athens has enough population to migrate to the Thrace region, and Roy can conquer Hippolyta like Heller, Alcetis, and Laodamia, perhaps Hippolyta will have already married. people.

"Queen Hippolyta! You can't sleep in the middle of the night, what's on your mind?"

"I'm worried about the war with the Sun Tribe."

Hippolyta said in a low voice.

"Although I look confident on the surface, I don't have the confidence to defeat the Sun Tribe in my heart. After all, the Sun Tribe is the most powerful tribe in Thrace. Once I lose this war, I can't imagine What a blow to the Amazon tribes."

Seeing Hippolyta revealing her weak girlish side, Roy couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and take care of her.

Thinking of Procne and Philomela, Roy suppressed his inner thoughts and said with a firm expression.

"No matter how powerful the Sun Tribe and Aeetes are, I will definitely help you win this war."
