Chapter 344 Phyllis Became a Captive
If this is a one-on-one battle between Roy and Aeetes, Roy will definitely defeat Aeetes with his own strength and prove that he is stronger than Aeetes.

But this is not a duel between Loy and Aeetes, but a war between the Kingdom of Athens and the Sun Tribe.

The victory of this war is more important than the victory of Roy alone.

Hippolyta is obviously not a pedantic fool. After hearing Roy's request, Hippolyta immediately followed Roy to attack Aeetes.

"You two—"

Facing the two-on-one situation between Roy and Hippolyta, although Aeetes' angry eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, he still retreated rationally to avoid the attacks of Roy and Hippolyta.

One step, two steps, three steps—

Under the attack of Loy and Hippolyta, Aeetes retreated more and more.

In the end, Aeetes decisively chose to flee from the battlefield and escaped from Roy and Hippolyta as quickly as possible.

Seeing Aeetes fleeing, Roy did not choose to chase and kill Aeetes immediately.

Because Roy knew that after Aeetes was killed, the Amazon tribe would probably replace the Sun tribe and become the most powerful tribe in Thrace.

Hippolyta would become queen of Thracia from queen of Amazons, and Bendis, goddess of the moon, would replace Helios, god of the sun, as queen of the gods in Thrace.

When the Kingdom of Athens conquers the Thrace region in the future, the Amazon tribe may become a more powerful enemy than the Sun tribe.

Roy hesitated for a moment before deciding to kill Aeetes.

Because Roy would rather make Hippolyta the biggest enemy of the Kingdom of Athens in the Thrace region than fight against Aeetes, who has more combat experience than himself.

"Queen Hippolyta, this is our best chance to kill Aeetes, don't miss this chance."

"I see!"

Roy and Hippolyta began to hunt down Aeetes, and the distance between them and Aeetes became closer and closer.

Just when Roy was about to catch up with Aeetes, a beautiful blonde girl riding a white horse stood in front of Roy and said coldly.

"You have already won the war, do you still want to kill my father?"

"you--"

With the blond girl blocking the way, Roy could only watch Aeetes get further and further away.

Reluctantly giving up the idea of ​​chasing and killing Aeetes, Roy walked up to the blond girl with a fierce expression and said.

"Are you the daughter of Aeetes? Since you hinder us in order to protect your father, then you will be my captive!"

After speaking, Roy grabbed the blond girl's arm with his left hand and pulled her off the horse.

"oops--"

As the blond girl screamed, Roy caught the blond girl with his left shoulder and carried her on his shoulders.

"You are Phyllis!"

Hippolyta came to Roy at this time, looked at Felice on Roy's shoulder and said.

"King of Athens, I know Phyllis. When we met in the past, she called me sister. This is a war between us and Aeetes. Just let Phyllis go!"

Hearing Hippolyta's request, Roy refused without hesitation.

"No! This girl is my prisoner, and I want her to be my only trophy."

"Eh--"

Hippolyta said with eyes widened in surprise.

"You don't want to propose to me, but you fancy Phyllis's beauty?"

Now the Kingdom of Athens is an ally with the Amazon tribes.

Normally, Roy should not have refused Hippolyta's request for a captive.

The only reasonable explanation for Roy's refusal of Hippolyta's request for Phyllis is that Roy fell in love with Phyllis's beauty.

"Hippolyta, you are mistaken."

Roy explained with a smile.

"I refuse to release Phyllis because according to the rules of war, I can use Phyllis to demand a ransom from Aeetes."

"Then how much ransom do you plan to ask for?"

"Ten thousand war horses!"

Hearing Roy's answer, Phyllis on Roy's shoulder immediately beat Roy's back with her small fist and said.

"Are you crazy? You want my father to redeem my freedom with [-] war horses. I think you don't want to give me back to my father at all. Because my father can't destroy the foundation of the Sun Tribe and use [-] war horses In exchange for my freedom."

"You are too much!"

Feeling that Phyllis's two small fists were tickling herself, Roy said innocently.

"I'm very sincere. If your father can't take out [-] war horses as a ransom, he can pay in installments over ten years, and I will return you to Aeetes after ten years."

"ten years--"

Hippolyta said with a wry smile.

"Ten years later, when you return Felice to Aeetes, will she still be an unmarried girl? Even if you won't do anything to harm Felice, how will she make up for the ten years of youth she lost? Let Phyllis be a captive by your side for ten years, and her life will be ruined."

"Hipolyta..."

Roy looked at Hippolyta in surprise and said.

"Do you sympathize with Phyllis so much because you share the same disease, or because you regard her as your younger sister?"

Hippolyta looked at Felice and said.

"We are all girls. The tragic fate of Phyllis being a captive today may fall on me one day in the future."

While Hippolyta was speaking, the horns of the Sun Tribe suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

This is the call to retreat.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the knights of the Sun Tribe fled from the battlefield one after another.

Obviously, as Aeetes fled the battlefield, the morale of the knights of the Sun Tribe had already collapsed.

After the human war ended, the war between the gods of Athens and Bendis and the gods of Thracia also ended at the same time.

After all the knights of the Sun Tribe left the battlefield, more than 2000 corpses were left on the battlefield.

Half of these corpses belonged to the Amazon tribe and half belonged to the Sun tribe.

Although more than 200 of Roy's Iron Spearmen were injured, they were not killed.

"The war is over!"

Roy scanned the battlefield, and then said to Hippolyta.

"Queen Hippolyta, now I want to tell my real purpose. I don't want to use Phyllis to ask Aeetes for [-] war horses as a ransom, but to use Phyllis to make Aeetes Sri Lanka reached a truce with us and accepted our demand for compensation."

"You mean—"

After understanding Roy's intentions, Hippolyta immediately put away her sympathy for Felice, and looked at Felice with burning eyes.

"You are right, we can use Phyllis to make Aeetes accept our request. If Aeetes cherishes his daughter, we can end the war with the Sun Tribe after we finish this battle , and asked the Sun Tribe to cede the territory in the western part of the Marmara Sea and the five major tribes to our Amazon Tribe. I just wanted you to let Felice go mercifully, it was really stupid."

"You want to use me to make my father accept your request—even if I die, I will never let you succeed."

"Phyllis, don't do anything stupid."

Seeing Phyllis having suicidal thoughts, Hippolyta persuaded her.

"You have seen that the Sun Tribe cannot defeat the combined forces of our Amazon Tribe and the Kingdom of Athens. Ending this war now is also what your Sun Tribe needs."
