I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 497 Dodona Guardian Goddess Zeus

The Athenian Empire mobilized a large number of soldiers and food to the Balkan Peninsula, of course it could not be hidden from the various forces in the Balkan Peninsula.

Athens city.

Before the war began, Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazon tribe, came to the palace and negotiated with Roy in person.

Palace hall.

Seeing Roy, Hippolyta questioned Roy directly.

"Do you want to conquer us Thracians?"

"you misunderstood."

Lowe explained.

"I intend to conquer the Illyrians. Mycenae King Perseus led his army to use bronze weapons to reduce the dimensionality of the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural Illyrians. Now they have conquered the Illyrians The mountains of Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia have established a powerful kingdom with an area of ​​20 square kilometers and a population of about one million. I cannot allow the Athens Empire to have such a powerful neighbor, so I intend to destroy the Mycenaean kingdom of Perseus."

"you're lying!"

Hippolyta said angrily.

"Perseus's Mycenae Kingdom ruled almost all mountainous areas. There is no need for cavalry to deal with Perseus. You mobilized [-] cavalry to the Macedonian Plain, which is used to conquer us Thracians."

Now that Hippolyta noticed it, Roy said frankly.

"I really want to deal with the Illyrians and the Thracians together. Hippolyta! Now you can go back and gather your Thracian knights to prepare to resist the invasion of the Athenian cavalry."

"Why do we have to go to war?"

Hippolyta knelt down in front of Roy, and cried on Roy's knees.

"I said long ago that I am willing to be your woman, and my people are also your people."

Roy stretched out his hands to hug Hippolyta, hugged her in his arms and comforted her.

"I don't want to do this either! But if I want to transform you Thracians into a farming nation, I can only put a knife on your neck. If I don't start a war against you, will you become a farming nation voluntarily? "

The way of life of farming people is more difficult than that of nomadic people herding horses and sheep.

Nomadic people are not fools, they are certainly unwilling to accept a harder way of life.

Hippolyta said with tears.

"I dedicate my body to you, can you spare my tribe?"

"cannot!"

Roy shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"After I conquer all the Thracians, the Thracian tribes will all become farming peoples, with the exception of your Amazon tribe. What do you make other Thracian tribes think?"

"Then...then can you give us a little more time? I will find a way to persuade my people to become a farming nation..."

Hippolyta made one request after another, Roy said impatiently.

"Hippolyta, do you have some misunderstandings about our relationship? Although you are not only beautiful, but also the noble queen of the Amazon tribe, I have no admiration for you, and it is even more impossible for me to make concessions for you .”

"You... how could you be so ruthless to me?"

Looking at Hippolyta's crying pear face covered with rain, Roy said hard-heartedly.

"I'm such a ruthless man! Do you know my true face, and still have unrealistic fantasies about me?"

"I will make the Amazon tribes surrender to you..."

Hippolyta cried.

"I can get the men of the Amazons together without arms, and your Athenian cavalry will kill them all..."

Roy said with eyes widened in surprise.

"Hipolyta, if you do this, aren't you afraid of being considered a traitor by your people?"

"I would rather be a queen who betrayed my people than see my people slaughtered by the Athenian cavalry."

"My dear Hippolyta, you have made the right choice."

Roy lowered his head and pecked Hippolyta's cherry lips, then said with a bright smile.

"Even if none of your people can understand your betrayal, I will always regard you as a great queen. As a reward for you, I will make you my wife."

Hippolyta begged in Roy's arms.

"Honey, you must take good care of my people."

After Hippolyta left Athens, Roy immediately set off from Thebes with an army of [-] and entered the Mycenae kingdom ruled by Perseus.

In just one year, Perseus followed Roy's rapid expansion and established a Mycenae kingdom covering an area of ​​20 square kilometers in the Balkan Peninsula.

It's a pity that Perseus only learned from Roy's rapid expansion, but not from Roy's way of ruling.

Therefore, in Perseus’s Mycenaean kingdom, the Mycenaeans who followed Perseus and the honorary Mycenaeans were the ruling class, and the ordinary Illyrians were the ruled class.

Roy led the Athenian army into the Kingdom of Mycenae. The Illyrians under the rule of Perseus not only did not resist, but warmly welcomed the Athenian army to rescue them.

The Athenian army conquered the Illyrian cities and towns without bloodshed, and Roy couldn't help but feel that Perseus was really a qualified tool man.

It was Perseus's enslavement and exploitation of the Illyrians that made the Illyrians yearn for the Athenian Empire.

On the tenth day of the war against the Kingdom of Mycenae, Loi sent [-] troops to take over the Aetolia region, the Calydon region, and the southern part of the Epirus region.

Roy himself brought an army of [-] to the city of Dodona in the central part of the Epirus region.

Roy met no resistance along the way, because Perseus gathered all the Mycenaean soldiers who followed him and the honored Mycenaean soldiers to the city of Dodona.

Dodona——

This is the newly built city of Perseus.

It is worth mentioning that the patron saint of Dodona is neither Zeus nor Poseidon nor Hades.

The patron saint of Dodona is a goddess named Dione.

It is worth mentioning that Dione's name is actually the feminine form of the name Zeus.

In other words, Dione is actually a sissy Zeus.

The narrow plain outside Dodona.

Roy led an army of [-] to confront Perseus's [-] army.

"Roy, you really came to attack me again."

Wearing a golden bronze armor and holding a golden bronze spear in his right hand, Perseus said with a confident smile on his face.

"It's a pity that I have been prepared for a long time. You don't want to destroy the Mycenaean kingdom I established."

Roy didn't pay attention to what Perseus said, and looked at the guardian goddess Dione that appeared above the city of Dodona.

In the mythology of another world, the demigod hero Achilles once dressed as a girl in maiden clothes, and even Odysseus and Diomedes could not see through Achilles' disguise.

Roy once thought that there must be something wrong with Odysseus and Diomedes themselves.

But now, when Roy saw the goddess Dione—Zeus wearing the goddess's gorgeous robes, a gold necklace around her neck, and a hair ornament on her head, she felt that this goddess had a beauty and charm that could not be lost to other goddesses. .

This is Zeus disguised as a goddess! ! !

vomit--

Realizing this, Roy couldn't help throwing up.
