I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 86
Although the Thebes tribe is not a coastal tribe, the Thebes tribe also has boats.

Because the south of the Thebes tribe's residence is the Asopas River that can enter the Aegean Sea from west to east.

The ships of the Thebes tribe were all small fishing boats and cargo ships. There were no large cargo ships or large warships that could accommodate thirty sailors.

When the sun rises in the east.

Roy and Harmonia, with 250 Phoenicians and [-] Thebes, sailed downriver in thirty small boats from the Asopus to the island of Eubia.

It was noon.

Roy and Harmonia led the fleet to the port of Ocaria in the middle of Eubia Island.

Ocaria Port belongs to the Ocaria tribe, the largest tribe on Yubia Island.

A fleet of 300 people entered the port and immediately alarmed the Okhalia tribe.

As soon as Roy and Harmonia brought the Phoenicians ashore, Melanius, the leader of the Ocarian tribe, hurried over with [-] tribal warriors.

After the confrontation between the two sides at the port, Harmonia stepped forward and said.

"Captain Melanius, do you no longer recognize me?"

"Priests of Harmony—"

The leader of the Ocarian tribe, Melanius, was a man around 30 years old. Seeing Harmonia, Melanius immediately asked the tribe soldiers behind him to put down their weapons, and then walked towards Harmonia Said.

"I thought it was a foreign invasion! Priest of Harmonia, why did you bring so many people to our Ocaria tribe?"

Harmonia did not answer Melanius' question, but looked at Roy and said.

"Leader Melanius, now I want to introduce you to a very important person. This is my fiancé, Roy. After we get married, he will replace me as the leader of the Thebes tribe."

Roy walked to Harmonia, smiled at Melanius and said.

"Leader Melanius, let me answer your question just now. We came to the Ocaria tribe because there is a copper mine on Eubia Island, and this copper mine is in the territory of your Ocaria tribe. .We came to the Ocaria tribe not only to mine copper mines, but also to bring your Ocaria tribe under our rule. Are you willing to hand over your identity and power as the leader?"

The Okaria tribe is also a large tribe with a population of 3000.

As the leader of the Ocarian tribe, Melanius is not as famous as Cadmus, Perseus, and Pandion, but he is also a hero at the level of the founder of the city.

Hearing that Roy said that he wanted to seize the dominion of the Ocaria tribe, Melanius immediately looked at Harmonia with a serious face and said.

"Priest of Harmonia, what your fiancé means is also what you mean?"

"Meranius, who do you take me for?"

Harmonia glared at Melanius angrily and shouted.

"Even if I am a priest serving the gods and the leader of the Thebes tribe, I am still an ordinary woman. Of course I will serve my husband like a god. You should not ask such stupid questions at all, as long as It's something my future husband wants to do, and I will support him with all my might."

Seeing Harmonia firmly supporting Roy, Melanius raised the bronze spear in his hand and said.

"Priest of Harmonia! Although we Yubians are descendants of immigrants from Thebes, and we worship the goddess of the earth, Mnemosyne, just like our ancestors. But I won't do it just because you are the priest of Mnemosyne. , I will hand over the identity and power of the leader to you."

Melanius' reaction was completely expected.

If he handed over his leader's identity and power because of a word from Harmonia, such a mediocre person would not be able to become the leader of the Ocaria tribe.

Melanius refused to surrender the identity and power of the leader. All 250 Phoenicians were immediately ready to fight, and the tribal soldiers behind Melanius also raised their wooden spears again.

Seeing that the war between the two sides was about to break out, Roy raised his bronze spear and pointed at Melanius with the blade.

"Meranius! The Thebes and the Eubias have the same ancestors, so I don't want ordinary soldiers to kill each other. Now I invite you to a duel, and as long as you can defeat me, you can continue to serve as Russian The leader of the Kalia tribe. If you lose to me, you will hand over your identity and power as the leader, and become a subject of me and Harmonia from now on."

"Honey--"

Hearing that Roy invited Melanius to a duel, Harmonia said worriedly.

"Although Melanius has not been blessed by the gods, he is also a hero [enemies of a hundred men], let me fight him instead of you!"

"Don't you have confidence in your man?"

Roy pretended to be dissatisfied, pressed Harmonia's small and cute nose with his left index finger and said.

"When I really lose to Melanius, you will defeat him for me."

At this moment, Melanius was hesitating whether to have a duel with Roy.

As Roy said, the people of Thebes and the people of Yubia have the same ancestors, so the relationship between the people of Thebes and the people of Yubia has always been like a family.

Legend has it that the ruler of Laios, king of Thebes, was a Yubia.

You must know that in this era, the king's ruler is an important position that can affect the life and death of the king. Many kings lost their lives because of the betrayal of the ruler.

So only the most trusted friend of the king can be the king's steward.

Laios, king of Thebes, made the Eubias the rulers, which is enough to show the trust of the Thebes in the Eubias.

Later, Laios, the king of Thebes, was indeed beaten to death by Oedipus who didn't know their identities because his stewards treated Oedipus roughly.

The people of Thebes and the people of Eubia are like a family, and Harmonia is the priest who serves Mnemosyne, the goddess of the earth.

If Melanius insists on going to war with Roy, I am afraid that many Yubia will be dissatisfied.

So Melanius finally nodded and said.

"Okay! I will have a duel with you. If I lose to you, it will prove that I am not qualified to continue to be the leader of the Ocaria tribe."

After speaking, Melanius walked towards Roy.

Roy also walked towards Melanius head-on.

The two walked to the same position, and Melanius swung a spear with his right hand and raised his shield with his left hand, and asked while attacking Roy.

"Young man, don't you use a shield? You are the fiancé of a Harmonian priest. I don't want to seriously injure your body."

Roy smiled while easily dodging Melanius' attack.

"Melanius, you can rest assured that you will use your full strength, because you will not be able to hurt me if you use your full strength."

"Insanity!"

Melanius yelled angrily, and swung his spear at Roy with a heroic speed.

But Roy seemed to predict Melanus' attack in advance, and he was always able to avoid Melanus' attack with ease.

Roy dodged his attacks again and again, Melanius said in disbelief.

"You turned out to be a young hero?"

"If I don't have the strength of a hero [Enemy of a Hundred Men], how can I be worthy to be the husband of Harmonia and the leader of the Thebes tribe?"

While speaking, Roy finally counterattacked and stabbed Melanius' neck with his spear.
