I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 403 The Price of Thirty Thousand Square Kilometers

As time enters September, the weather begins to shift from the heat of summer to the coolness of autumn.

Catanzaro city.

Roy came here with Aurora and [-] Etruscan soldiers, and finally completed the mutual check and balance of the four major ethnic groups in the Apennine Peninsula, Sikurs, Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans. The last piece of the puzzle - placing the [-] Etruscan soldiers in the southern part of the Apennines to suppress the Sicurs, Latins and Sabines.

The port of Catanzaro.

Another fleet of the Athenian Empire arrived at the port, bringing iron farm implements such as iron plows and columbine carts of the Athenian Empire, and daily necessities such as salt, spices, and cloth to the Apennine Peninsula.

Roy brought Aurora to the port, watching the scene of soldiers and sailors carrying goods, Roy said proudly.

"Aurora! Have you seen these iron farm tools? These iron farm tools can allow people in your Roman province to reclaim more fields and harvest more food. You will understand me when the harvest season is next year. The greatness. These salt, spices, and cloth are also necessities of life, which can make people in the Roman provinces live a better life."

"Don't you keep bragging to me about your greatness."

Aurora said expressionlessly.

"If what you said can be realized, I can even respect and worship you as a god. You brag to me with the results that can only be realized in a year, and I will only think that you are talking big."

"Believe it or not, I don't care at all. I just said I want to marry you to control the Etruscans."

Roy said with a smile.

"I brought you to the port to tell you that we will take this fleet to the city of Athens after the fleet has finished unloading its cargo."

After speaking, Roy turned and returned to Catanzaro City.

Before leaving the Apennines, Lowe still had a few things to attend to.

Senate of the Sikkurs.

Roy came here and called the leaders of the Sikur people together to hold a meeting of elders.

Sitting in the seat that originally belonged to the consul, Roy ordered to the elders.

"Disband the Senate today! In the future, if you establish an organization similar to the Senate, it will be regarded as an act of treason. Under my rule, you only need to obey my orders. I don't want to see you organize to challenge me. Opposition. Also—you Sikurs can no longer worship the god of agriculture Palic, the god of war Adrenus, and the goddess of the sea Hebra. It is not these three incompetent gods who save you now, It is the patron saint of our Athenians and the Athenian Empire, and the goddess Persephone will be the patron saint of the Apennine Peninsula in the future.”

After Roy finished speaking, Brutus said immediately.

"You can't treat us like this. Only by discussing together can we avoid mistakes. Please don't become a dictatorial tyrant."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Roy said with a playful smile.

"If you are dissatisfied, you can try to rebel. As long as you can defeat [-] Etruscan soldiers, I am willing to take you seriously."

As the Athenian empire began to benefit the commoners of the Sikkurs, the authority of the chiefs had long since fallen to the bottom.

Now the leaders want to call on the Sikurs to fight against the Athenian Empire, and they will only be regarded as lunatics by the Sikurs.

The chiefs also knew this, so the consul took the initiative to persuade Brutus.

"Dear Brutus, let's bear with it for now!"

Roy conquered the four major ethnic groups in the Apennine Peninsula in just over a month, and made the Sikurs, Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans all surrender. Such a feat is like a miracle.

As long as you are a normal person, you will not want to fight against Luo Yi.

Under the persuasion of the consul and friends, Brutus said unwillingly.

"I hope that the next emperor will be a wise man who can accept the wisdom of all people in an organization like the Senate."

After dealing with the affairs of humans, Roy came to the Temple of Persephone in Catanzaro again, preparing to deal with the matters of the gods.

Temple of Persephone.

Now this temple belongs to the goddess Persephone, like a pantheon of gods.

Persephone, Hera, Minerva, Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus are all here, waiting for Roy to divide the cake for them.

Seeing Roy walk into the temple, the chattering goddesses fell silent for a moment, and then Persephone spoke up.

"Dear brother, you came just in time. You once promised me a territory of 20 square kilometers. Now you come and tell them that the Apennine Peninsula belongs to me."

Hera followed closely.

"Good brother, the Apennine Peninsula has 25 square kilometers. You gave 20 square kilometers to Persephone, and the remaining [-] should be given to me."

dear brother...

good brother...

Seeing Persephone and Hera staring at her like her half-sisters with the eyes of beasts staring at their prey, Roy couldn't help but sigh in her heart—as long as the benefits are enough, even the goddess can Condescending and condescending.

Like a proud princess, Minerva looked at Roy expressionlessly and said.

"You said you would give me territory, and I want to continue to protect the Apennines and the Etruscans."

Luna smiled and blinked her beautiful big eyes.

"Dear Your Majesty, I am the first local god to join the Athens Empire, you will not let me down."

Vesta blushed like a shy girl and said.

"I also want to be the patron saint of every city and every place."

Diana said with a worried face.

"I trust you will abide by our agreement."

Venus looked at Roy with cute eyes and smiled sweetly.

"My authority is also very useful."

After listening to the appeals of the goddesses, Roy first spoke to Persephone.

"Dear sister Persephone, for the sake of our agreement, the 20 square kilometers of territory I promised you will not change."

Persephone showed a satisfied smile, and Roy then said to Hera.

"Dear sister Hera, I just said that I would give you a territory of [-] square kilometers. If you want to have a territory of [-] square kilometers in the Apennine Peninsula, then you need to pay some price."

"What do you want me to pay?"

Hera said a little unhappy.

"I have already regarded you as a younger brother. It is what you should do as a younger brother to take care of your older sister."

We have become half-siblings, and I will give you a territory of [-] square kilometers——

If it is a desert territory in North Africa, it will be fine.

The territory of the Apennine Peninsula is a very rich territory.

In another world, Italy can become one of the top ten countries in the world economically, and the wealth of the Apennine Peninsula is beyond doubt.

"If we become half-sisters and brothers, I will give you [-] square kilometers of territory, so let's not be half-siblings. Goddess Hera! If you want to get an extra three Ten thousand square kilometers of territory, you must make an agreement with me that if I become a god in the future, you will marry me."

"What did you say--"

Upon hearing Roy's request, Hera immediately showed a surprised and angry expression.

"How dare you make such a request to me, are you really crazy?"
