I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 37

The real pirates in the Mediterranean are usually Phoenicians who have two identities as sea merchants and pirates.

Their armed forces can not only rob ships at sea, but also launch plundering wars against many coastal areas in the Mediterranean.

In addition to the big pirates with powerful armed forces, there are also some people in the coastal areas who have the identity of pirates, fishermen or farmers at the same time.

These little pirates are not armed enough to wage war and can only rob ships at sea.

Without a suitable target to rob, these petty pirates were idyllic fishermen or farmers.

The pirate village that Roy wiped out on Milos Island is obviously a group of small pirates.

At this time in the pirate village.

After the women and children were gathered, fifty teenagers moved out five bronze tripod tripods, thirty bronze war spears and five thousand catties of grain from houses one after another.

After all the belongings were placed in front of Roy, Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"My companions! You have carried out my order very well, and now I will distribute the spoils to you. You can choose to have a woman, a hundred catties of grain, or even a bronze spear."

After Roy finished speaking, the teenagers were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"I want a woman!"

"My lord priest, I want a woman as a reward."

"I killed two pirates, please let me choose women first."

Seeing that all the teenagers chose women as rewards, Roy couldn't help but said.

"Although you are all young men with fresh blood, don't any of you want more food and weapons?"

After complaining, Roy said loudly.

"Since you all want women, then line up one by one and choose the woman you like."

After Roy finished speaking, Aries was the first to walk up to Roy and asked cautiously.

"My lord priest, can I choose a woman at will?"

Roy nodded.

"No matter which woman you choose, she will be your exclusive maid in the future, and you can choose with confidence."

"Then I want this woman."

Aries holds out his right hand and points to a young girl who is neither child nor pregnant.

Roy said immediately.

"She's yours now, you'd better take her with you and take care of her. If this woman escapes, I won't assign you a second woman."

Aries happily ran to the young girl and pulled her out from among the women.

Seeing Aries carefully holding the girl's hand, Roy joked with a smile.

"Are you taking her as your wife?"

Aries led the girl to Roy, and said with a simple and honest smile.

"Master Priest! For unmarried civilian men like us, it is better to have a young and beautiful maid than to have a wife. After all, a maid can do everything a wife can do. What a wife can't do Complete obedience to the husband, even a maid can do it. And if you bully your wife, you may be retaliated by your father-in-law or wife's brother. But if you bully a maid, you will not have any worries. If my life does not become rich, I will count on This maid has lived with me all my life."

Roy reached out and patted Aries on the shoulder and said.

"You will become my follower in the future. Although I can't promise to make you rich, your wealth is definitely enough for you to raise two women. So in addition to this maid, you will marry an unmarried girl as your wife in the future, and enjoy the left and right Embrace the good life.”

After Aries left with his maid, a young man came to Roy, pointed his right hand at a young girl who was neither pregnant nor pregnant.

"My lord priest, I want this woman."

"It seems that you all want a woman who has no children and no pregnancy! Now she is yours, take her away!"

Under Luo Yi's distribution, more than 40 women who had no children and no pregnancy were quickly snatched away by the teenagers.

When it was the turn of the No. 40 seven teenagers, he could only choose women who were pregnant or had children.

Seeing the frustrated look on the boy's face, Roy comforted him.

"If you don't want a woman, you can also choose to ask for a hundred catties of grain or a bronze war spear."

No.40 The seven teenagers hesitated for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and chose a young woman holding her daughter.

The remaining three teenagers followed suit and chose the woman with her daughter.

To Roy's surprise, none of the teenagers chose the pirate leader's wife.

Although the pirate chief's wife had a son with her, she was also the most beautiful young woman among the spoils.

"I want to ask you a question, this woman is so beautiful, why didn't any of you choose her? Is it because she has a son?"

After Roy directly asked his doubts, Aries said immediately.

"Master Priest! Just because this woman is the most beautiful, we think she is the best trophy. Of course, the best trophy should be given to the person with the highest status—that is, you, Priest."

"It turns out that you left this woman to me on purpose."

Knowing that the wife of the pirate leader was regarded as his own trophy, Roy said with a wry smile.

"But I'm not interested in this woman at all, and I don't even want to be her son's stepfather."

Hearing what Roy said, the wife of the pirate leader said nervously holding the child.

"Don't hurt my child! If you kill my child, I will die with my child. As long as you don't hurt my child, I will obey any order you make."

"I told you I'm not interested in you."

After rolling his eyes at the wife of the pirate leader, Roy said to the boys.

"Since you have obtained the trophies, the remaining five bronze tripods, thirty bronze spears and five thousand catties of food are all my trophies alone. Do you have any objections to this?"

In this era, it is a default rule that the leader can get the best loot and the most loot.

So none of the teenagers refuted Roy.

Seeing that the teenagers accepted their assignment, Roy said with satisfaction.

"Now everyone, bring your women together and bring all the spoils back to the ship!"

Hearing Roy's order, the teenagers immediately started to carry food, bronze tripods and bronze war spears.

Roy walked up to the remaining dozen or so women, looked at these women who were pregnant and with children and said.

"You can rest assured, because your situation is a bit special, I will not distribute you as spoils of war. I will bring you back to the Athenian tribe, let the leader of the Athenian tribe, Pandion, accept you temporarily, and then assign you to some who don't mind You men with children."

Hearing what Roy said, these women were all relieved, and they no longer had to worry about their children being hurt.

Roy and fifty teenagers brought the women, children and all their belongings back to the port, and after letting the women and children into the cabin, Roy called the teenagers together and said.

"Now I will give you the last order for today. You go back to the pirate village, throw all the corpses of the pirates into the wooden house, and then burn all the houses in the pirate village down."
