I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 87 Princess Iole of Ocaria

Although Melanius is a hero at the level of the founder of the city, he has not received the blessing and power of the gods after all.

Therefore, Melanius, who is in his prime, is about the same strength as Pandion, who is old and frail.

At the beginning of the duel between Roy and Melanius, because of lack of sufficient actual combat experience, Roy could only rely on the blessing of Mnemosyne [Future Foretelling] to avoid Melanus' attack.

When Roy gradually adapted to Melanius' attack, he began to counterattack to Melanius.

Roy's bronze spear pierced Melanius' neck mercilessly, and Melanius hurriedly raised his wooden shield to resist.

Bang Bang!
Although Roy's spear blade was blocked by Melanus' wooden shield, a crack was also cut on the wooden shield.

Melanius took two steps back, then looked at Roy in shock and said.

"You are not an ordinary hero, you have divine power bestowed by the gods!"

Roy stopped attacking and smiled.

"If you are afraid, then you can surrender to me directly."

Melanius only hesitated for a moment before continuing to attack Roy.

"Although the power bestowed on you by the gods makes you stronger than me, my combat experience is also better than yours. There is no reason for me to lose to you."

"Melanius, you can't defeat me."

Mnemosyne's blessing [Future Foretelling] allows Roy to predict Melanius' attack.

No matter how rich Melanius' combat experience was, his attack could not hurt Roy.

So from the beginning of this battle, Roy has been invincible.

Seeing Roy gradually suppressing Melanus in the battle, Harmonia said with a sweet smile on his face.

"Sure enough—my choice was correct."

The Phoenicians and Ocarian soldiers who watched the battle were in awe of Roy in their hearts.

clang clang clang-

bang bang bang bang-

After the fierce battle between Roy and Melanius lasted for half an hour, Melanus' strength had begun to fail, but Roy became stronger as he fought, as if he had endless power in his body.

Realizing that Melanius' power was beginning to weaken, Roy was immediately filled with disappointment.

In fact, Roy was able to defeat Melanius when the battle between the two lasted to 10 minutes.

The battle between the two will continue until now because Roy wants to use Melanius to increase his actual combat experience and help him improve his strength.

Now that Melanius could no longer continue the fight, Roy decided to end the fight.

Under the horrified eyes of Melanius, Roy swung his spear and delivered a swift blow.

Click!
Melanius raised the wooden shield to resist, and Roy's spear blade directly split the wooden shield, and then touched Melanius' heart.

"Meranius! If you do not surrender, my spear blade will pierce your heart."

Facing the threat of death, Melanius could only throw his spear on the ground, bowed his head and said to Roy.

"I lost!"

"Now I want you to swear in the name of the gods to become a subject of me and Harmonia, and obey all our orders from now on."

"I swear in the name of the great goddess Mnemosyne, I will offer my loyalty to you and the priests of Harmonia, and I will obey all your orders from now on."

Melanius swore his oath, and Roy withdrew his spear blade.

Harmonia walked up to Roy at this moment and said.

"Melanius, from now on, you will no longer be the leader of the Ocaria tribe, but the manager of the Ocaria tribe instead of Luoy and me. In order to let you have no worries, I will send your daughter Take Iole and train her to be the priestess of Mnemosyne."

Harmonia actually wanted to take away his daughter Iole, and Melanius immediately showed a dissatisfied expression.

But if he refused Harmonia's order, he was afraid that not only his own life, but the whole family's life would be in danger.

So Melanius could only nod and say.

"Priest of Harmonia, you are the priest that my daughter Iole admires the most. It is an honor for our entire family to be able to follow you and be trained by you to be the priest of Mnemosyne."

Melanius has surrendered completely, even willing to hand over his daughter.

Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"Melanius! The 250 Phoenicians behind me are my followers, and they will live and live in the territory of the Ocarian tribe in the future. Their main work is to mine copper ore, smelt bronze utensils, and cut down Trees make big ships. In addition to managing the Ocaria tribe, you also have to assist my followers and meet their needs as much as possible."

After listening to Roy's words, Melanius couldn't help but said.

"Dear Lord Loi! Now the Ocaria tribe belongs to you and the priests of Harmonia. These Phoenicians made bronze utensils. Can you provide some bronze three-vessels for cooking to our Ocaria tribe?" A tripod and a bronze spear?"

"can!"

Roy said without hesitation.

"But everything comes first, first come first, so the bronze utensils made by my followers should be given priority to the Thebes tribe. After the needs of the Thebes tribe are met, it will be the turn of the Ocaria tribe. And we can't pay for nothing Send the bronze utensils to the Ocaria tribe. You have to exchange grain or cattle and sheep for the bronze tripod and the bronze war spear. Because the Ocaria tribe belongs to us, we will use the bronze three-legged tripod at a very cheap price. I will sell you the tripod and the bronze spear."

After hearing Roy's words, Melanius immediately showed a joyful expression.

Seeing that Melanius was not dissatisfied with his request, Roy turned to look at Taurus and said.

"Taurus! Now that Melanius is our own, let him take you to the mountains in the east to find copper mines. You must mine copper mines as soon as possible to smelt bronze utensils. First, make two thousand bronze war spears for us to arm Soldiers. The bronze spears you made on the first day will be sent to the tribe of Thebes by boat on the second day. Even if you hoard the bronze spears for a day, I will treat you as traitors and destroy you without mercy .”

Taurus immediately said with a serious expression.

"Priest Loi, even if there is a storm or hailstorm, we will not hoard bronze war spears. We will definitely send the manufactured bronze war spears to the Thebes tribe the next day."

After a moment.

The soldiers of Melanius brought a beautiful girl about 13 years old to the port. It was the daughter of Melanius, the little princess Iole of the Ocarian tribe.

"Priest of Harmonia!"

Seeing Harmonia standing with Roy, Eole happily ran to Harmonia and said.

"I met you at the Harvest Ceremony of Mnemosyne, do you remember me?"

"Sister Yiole!"

Looking at the petite and cute appearance of Iole with black hair and black pupils, Harmonia hugged her in her arms and said.

"I miss you often, that's why I asked your father, Melanius, to let you follow me to become the priest of the goddess Mnemosyne."

The young Iole obviously didn't know that she had now become a hostage of Harmonia's father, Melanius, who controlled her, so Iole said very happily.

"I am so blessed to serve the goddess Mnemosyne and the priests of Harmony."
