I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 93
Because Roy seized the opportunity, Perseus fell into a disadvantage in the battle at first.

But Perseus soon noticed Roy's lack of combat experience, and he joked while easily parrying Roy's attack.

"It really surprised me! I didn't expect that you are not only a priest, but also have the strength of a hero [enemies of a hundred people]. Pandion actually allowed you to exist. Could it be that he really regards you as his son and is willing to let you and Er Rechtheus competing for the position of heir?"

Roy immediately sarcastically said.

"Perseus! You are obviously the son of Polydectes, the king of Serifos, and the prince of Serifos, but you call yourself the prince of Mycenae. Are you really naive to think that Mycenae King Acrisios will let you inherit the throne? After all, you are only a grandson, and Acrisios will definitely make his own grandson the heir to the throne."

"You guy-"

Roy's words obviously angered Perseus.

Perseus immediately counterattacked Roy, and his spear bit Roy's neck like a poisonous snake.

Roy seemed to have anticipated Perseus' attack long ago, and turned slightly to avoid Perseus' attack.

Perseus made several quick attacks in succession, all of which were easily dodged by Roy.

I didn't expect that my attack would not be able to hurt Roy at all——

Perseus originally thought that Roy's combat experience was seriously lacking, and that as long as he counterattacked Roy, he would be able to defeat Roy, but the reality slapped him in the face.

At this time, Pandion, Zeuxipper, Erechtheus, Procne, Philomela, and the two little chiefs who were watching the battle, after seeing Perseus counterattack, Roy did not fall behind. In the downwind, everyone was shocked by Roy's ability not to lose to Perseus.

"Roy has only been away for a few days. How could his strength suddenly rise to match that of a young and powerful hero like Perseus?"

Pandion looked at Roy with complicated eyes, and there was faint worry in his eyes.

Erechtheus murmured in disbelief.

"Impossible! This is impossible! I lost to Perseus, but Roy was able to draw with Perseus. Could it be that my strength is not as good as Roy's?"

Philomela waved a pair of small fists and said.

"Brother Roy, come on! We must defeat that nasty Perseus."

The reserved Procne prayed in a low voice.

"Great goddess Metis, please lend your divine power to Brother Loy."

Zeuksipper observed the reactions of the two daughters with a meaningful smile on his face.

bang bang bang bang-

clang clang clang-

As time went on, the battle between Roy and Perseus became more and more intense.

Although Perseus has used all his strength, Roy has the blessing of Mnemosyne [Future Foretelling], which allows him to predict Perseus' attacks in advance.

No amount of attack Perseus used could hurt Roy.

Although Perseus' attack couldn't hurt Roy, Roy's attack couldn't hurt Perseus, who was experienced in combat.

The battle between the two has now turned into a war of attrition.

Half an hour later!
Seeing that Roy and Perseus still couldn't tell the winner, Pandion suddenly said loudly.

"You two stop!"

Roy and Perseus stopped and looked at Pandion, who said to them.

"Since you guys can't tell the difference so far, it should be counted as a tie. Roy! Perseus! This is just a duel, not a life-and-death fight. I don't want any of you There were casualties on one side."

After hearing Pandion's verdict, Perseus said to Roy with a sneer.

"You are so lucky! If this duel can go to the end, I will definitely win."

Roy said without showing any weakness.

"The lucky one is obviously you, I have no reason to lose to you."

Perseus smiled contemptuously, then looked at Pandion and said.

"Great Pandion! Since I failed to defeat Roy, I respect your decision. Now I will leave the Athens Tribe. When I come to the Athens Tribe next time, I hope you will not regret today's decision."

After speaking, Perseus turned and left, and his two attendants led the white horse to follow the master.

After Perseus left with two followers, Roy and the others also returned to the hall of the stone house.

As soon as everyone sat down at the stone table, the maids brought barbecue, white bread, fruits, vegetables, and wine to the stone table.

Looking at the rich food on the stone table, Pandion squeezed out a smile and said.

"This banquet was originally to celebrate the arrival of Perseus, but now it's changed to celebrate Roy's drive away of Perseus, the villain."

After Pandion finished speaking, Philomela immediately picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in the pottery bowl in front of Roy and said.

"Brother Roy, this is your reward for teaching the hateful Perseus a lesson for your sister."

After speaking, Philomela took off her veil.

Now that there is no stranger like Perseus, there is no need for Philomela and Procne to hide their faces with veils.

After Procne took off the veil, he looked at Roy, and immediately lowered his head with a blushing face.

Erechtheus looked at Roy with unconvinced eyes, obviously still unable to accept that Roy's strength surpassed him.

Roy didn't pay attention to Erechtheus, looked at Pandion solemnly and said.

"Pandion leader! Perseus is not a fool. He certainly wouldn't naively think that he can make us Athenians surrender to the Mycenaeans with a few words. So Perseus came to the Athenian tribe today just for a while. It is a kind of temptation. We Athenians are cowardly enough to submit directly to him, which is a surprise for him. It is also expected for him that we Athenians refuse to submit. I think the Mycenaeans must have done it Prepare to attack the tribes of Athens, so we must also prepare for war with the Mycenaeans."

Pandion nodded.

"You're right, we should really prepare for war."

Erechtheus sneered at this moment.

"Loy, you are really smart. Perseus has already said that the Mycenaeans are going to fight the city of Corinth next, so why would they attack our Athenian tribe?"

I didn't expect Erechtheus to be so naive——

Roy said dumbfounded.

"Prince Erechtheus, Perseus is our enemy, how can we believe his words. The city of Corinth is stronger than our Athenian tribe, so choose between a strong enemy and a weak enemy, It is a wise choice for the Mycenaeans to choose to launch a war against the weak Athenian tribe. Because by conquering our Athenian tribe, the Mycenaeans will have more strength to attack the city of Corinth."

After Erechtheus was rendered speechless by Roy's words, Zeuxiper suddenly said to Pandion.

"Dear Pandion, do you regret your thoughts now? You only want your daughter to marry a noble and powerful husband, and as a result, Procne was humiliated by Perseus. I think daughters should marry Only those who can help them get a truly happy marriage. Could it be that in your heart, daughters are just a tool for marriage?"
