I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 370 Conquering the Peloponnese Peninsula

When night falls.

Roy returned to Olympia City with two thousand Iron Spearmen.

royal palace.

Hippodamia personally greeted Roy, brought Roy to the palace hall, and asked Roy to sit on the throne that originally belonged to her father Oenomanos.

"Isn't Your Majesty going to conquer the city of Elis and drive the Mycenaeans away?"

"I have reached a new agreement with Perseus."

Roy explained his agreement with Perseus, and then said with some pride.

"I didn't destroy the Mycenaeans, but let Perseus take the Mycenaeans to conquer the Illyrians in the northwest of the Balkan Peninsula. I wanted to use Perseus to transform the Illyrians there. become a farming nation. The Mycenaeans have more advanced weapons, and Perseus can conquer the Illyrians like a dimensionality reduction strike. But if he wants to establish a strong rule, he cannot let the Illyrians continue to live as nomads Migratory life."

Hippodamia said suddenly.

"Your Majesty didn't destroy the Mycenaeans because you didn't want to be the villain who forced the Illyrians to become farming nations."

"That's what happened!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Hippodamia! You will take over the city of Elis in ten days, so during these ten days, you must recruit enough soldiers. The thousand soldiers I allocated to you are mainly used to protect your safety .You need to recruit at least [-] soldiers if you want to establish a rule in the Elis region and the Ahai region.”

Hippodamia nodded and said.

"Now that the northern and central parts of the Peloponnese Peninsula have been incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, will His Majesty conquer the Sparta and Pylos regions in the southern Peloponnese Peninsula?"

"The Sparta and Pylos regions are fertile grain-producing areas, and there are iron mines in the Sparta region, so I want to conquer the entire Peloponnese Peninsula in one go."

the next day.

Inside the bedroom of the princess of Hippodamia.

Roy was still sleeping late with Hippodamia in his arms, when the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened.

Roy woke up and opened his eyes, only to see a middle-aged man with disheveled hair walking into the room.

"Father--"

Hippodamia, who was also startled awake, saw the middle-aged man with a surprised smile and yelled.

Sure enough, Oenomanos!

The palace is a place guarded by heavy soldiers. If the identity of this middle-aged man is not Hippodamia's father, Roy's cheap father-in-law, it is impossible for him to break into the place where Roy and Hippodamia sleep.

Seeing his daughter Hippodamia being held in Roy's arms like a humanoid pillow, Oenomanos said with a blank expression.

"Hippotamia, he is the king of Athens, Roy? Seeing that he drove away the Mycenaeans, I can accept him as my son-in-law. Now you two prepare to sacrifice to Father God Ares with me. "

Hearing Oenomanos' request, Roy immediately felt a headache.

Yesterday Roy didn't want Perseus to return Oenomanus, of course not because Roy was a filial son-in-law, but because Roy knew that Oenomanus was a big trouble.

In the mythology of another world, Oenomanos was the son of Ares.

In this world, although Oenomanos is not the son of Ares, he is also the high priest of Ares.

As the high priest serving Ares, Ares' status in Oenomanos' heart is like a true father.

If there was anyone in the region of Elis who would not turn his back on Ares, it would undoubtedly be Oenomanos.

Oenomanus is an ordinary man, but he happens to be the father of Hippodamia.

After Loy handed over the Elis region and the Ahai region to the rule of Hippodamia, Oenomanos could use his father's identity to exert influence on Hippodamia, and let Hippodamia take Ares Served as a patron saint.

Even Oenomanos could use his authority over the Elis region for 20 years to take away the rule of the Elis region from Hippodamia.

In order to solve the trouble of Oenomanos, Roy once considered killing Oenomanos.

But if Roy kills Oenomanos, Hippodamia's loyalty to Roy cannot be guaranteed.

Ordinary Illyrians may also hate the Kingdom of Athens.

"Father, Ares, the god of war, is no longer the patron saint of the Elis region."

Hearing his father's request, Hippodamia said with a troubled face.

"The city of Olympia was conquered by the Mycenaeans, and it has been proved that Ares, the god of war, is unable to protect the Elis region. Therefore, we must enshrine the goddess Metis of the Kingdom of Athens as the patron saint of Elis."

"Are you crazy?"

Oenomanos said with wide eyes angrily.

"I am the high priest serving Ares, so you have been a priestess serving Ares since you were born. Now you have turned your back on Ares and want to drive Ares from the throne? I just pretended not to hear what you just said , now you go with me to the Temple of Ares, and we are going to move the statue of Ares back to the seat of God."

Facing his father's tough request, Hippodamia could only look at Roy for help.

Roy held Hippodamia in his arms and bewitched.

"Hippodamia, you can't be unfaithful to your father. Now you have me as your husband, and you will give birth to our children and become your mother in the future. You already have the new identity of wife and mother, don't you No longer just a father's daughter."

In this age, when a girl gets married, she no longer belongs to her father, but completely belongs to her husband.

Hippodamia hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said.

"Father! I already know that your idea is wrong, so I will no longer blindly follow your orders."

"You unfilial daughter—"

Seeing that Enomanos was completely enraged, Roy ordered to the soldiers outside.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take my cheap-father-in-law away and let him calm down."

After the soldiers outside the bedroom rushed in and took Oenomanos away, Roy said with a serious face.

"Hippodamia! If your father stays here, he will definitely continue to interfere with you. In order to prevent him from affecting you and let him truly understand the Kingdom of Athens, I want to arrange for him to retire in Athens."

Hippodamia nodded.

"As long as my father sees the prosperity and strength of the city of Athens, his thoughts will change."

After arranging for soldiers to send Oenomanos to the city of Athens, Roy led the Iron Spearmen southward, preparing to enter the Pylos area from the west side of Mingxi Mountain.

When Roy conquered the Arcadia region, Orobas, king of Tenaron in the Pylos region, and Perieores, king of Sparta in the Sparta region, had been paying attention to Roy.

Knowing that Roy was going south with an army of 5000, the Pylos region and the Sparta region immediately formed a coalition of [-] people to defeat Roy.

Because both Orobas and Perieuris have already seen that Roy clearly has the ambition to conquer the entire Peloponnese Peninsula.

Roy learned the news of the coalition formed by Olobas and Perieres, so he directly chose to face the coalition head-on, conquering both the Pylos region and the Sparta region at the same time with one war, and completed the task of conquering the entire Peloponnese Peninsula. Albert.
