Chapter 149 Poseidon and Amphitrite

The distance between Athens and Corinth is not very far.

But it takes at least five days to travel from Athens to Corinth by land.

Because in this era, there is no real road between Athens and Corinth.

Even if there is a road between Athens and Corinth, it takes at least three days to travel by land.

But it only takes about six hours to travel from Piraeus to the southern port of Corinth.

Roy's fleet set out from Piraeus in the morning, bypassed Salamis Island in the afternoon, and arrived at the port in the south of Corinth.

When Roy's fleet entered the port in the south of Corinth, the Corinthians in the port fled in panic.

Because the Mycenaeans were attacking Corinth, they naturally regarded Roy's fleet as Mycenaeans' warships.

After the ten large ships were moored at the dock of the port, Roy led the soldiers ashore and shouted to the Corinthians in the port.

"Corinthians! We are not your enemies, the Mycenaeans, but the Athenians who are helping you. Now I am going to Corinth with all the soldiers. Please do not destroy our warships."

In fact, normally, Roy should leave at least fifty soldiers in the port to ensure that the warships will not be destroyed or stolen.

But Roy is now going to intervene in a large-scale war involving thousands of people.

Of course, winning the war is more important than the ten large ships left in the port, so Roy chose to take all the soldiers away.

The city of Corinth is located at the junction of the Peloponnese Peninsula and the west of the Isthmus of Corinth. Just as the city of Athens developed from the Acropolis of Athens, the city of Corinth also developed from a Corinth Acropolis built on a hill.

Roy led the soldiers to the city of Corinth while recalling the history of the city of Corinth.

Although the city of Corinth, like the city of Thebes, will have a glorious history in the future.

But more than a thousand years later, the people living in Corinth will no longer be the natives of Corinth, just as the people living in Thebes will no longer be the natives of Thebes.

Because more than a thousand years later, when Alexander conquered Thebes, he would kill all the men in Thebes, and when the Roman Empire conquered Corinth, it would also kill all the men in Corinth.

Athens, Thebes, Corinth-

These three city-states competed for the richest and established hegemony at different times. Probably only Athens did not suffer the disaster of all men being killed.

When Roy led his soldiers to the vicinity of Corinth, he saw the two thousand Mycenaeans attacking the soldiers guarding the city of Corinth across the low stone walls.

The Corinthians did not choose to defend the Acropolis of Corinth, which was high and easy to defend, because most of the residents of Corinth lived at the foot of the Acropolis.

If the Corinthian soldiers retreated to the Acropolis, it would be equivalent to handing over tens of thousands of Corinthian residents to the Mycenaeans and making them prisoners of the Mycenaeans.

Although the Corinthian soldiers relied on the low stone walls to resist the Mycenaeans and protect tens of thousands of residents in Corinth, this also prevented the Corinthian soldiers from taking advantage of the Acropolis, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After observing for a while, Roy found that half of the 2,000 Mycenaeans used bronze weapons.

Although there were also 2,000 young and strong men guarding the city of Corinth, only 500 of them used bronze spears, and the rest could only use wooden spears or stone spears, stone axes and other stone weapons.

Mycenaean soldiers not only had the advantage of weapons, but they were also more elite than Corinthian soldiers.

The two sides kept fighting across the low stone walls, and the walls were constantly pushed down by Mycenaean soldiers, and then the soldiers of both sides entered close combat.

While the Mycenaeans and Corinthians were fighting, the gods of the Mycenaeans and Corinthians also descended on the battlefield.

The Mycenaeans' god was a black-haired male god who looked about 30 years old, and his weapon was a golden trident.

The Corinthians' god was a sea goddess with blue hair and green eyes. Her face and clothes were very similar to those of Metis, who was also a sea goddess. She looked like Metis' sister, and her weapon was a silver trident.

The two gods appeared with a height of 100 meters, and the black-haired male god smiled while attacking with a golden trident.

"My dear Amphitrite, just surrender to me and become my beloved wife!"

"Zeus - don't pollute my ears with your nonsense."

"Hahahaha! Although Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are all me, since I am a trinity of gods, I am three gods on the surface. I am the Mycenean Poseidon, the sea king, who is fighting with you now."

"Whether you are Zeus or Poseidon, I have no reason to surrender to you."

"The gap in strength between the Mycenaeans and the Corinthians is so obvious. When the Mycenaeans conquer the Corinthians, even if you don't want to, you must surrender to me and become my beloved wife and bear children for me."

Poseidon was obviously confident of winning this war, and teased with a smile.

"Although the ignorant Greek natives think that the Mycenaeans and I are from Crete, the Mycenaeans are actually a nomadic people from the Phoenician region. In my hometown of Phoenicia, I am not only the god of the sea, but also the god of horses. Even though the Mycenaeans are no longer a nomadic people, I want to preserve the god of horses, so I want you to give birth to the Pegasus for me to inherit the god of horses."

Hearing these words of Poseidon, the sea goddess Amphitrite could only frown and resist Poseidon's attack even more tenaciously.

It is a pity that Amphitrite's resistance could not reverse the strength gap between her and Poseidon, just like the resistance of the Corinthians could only delay their conquest by the Mycenaeans.

Seeing that the balance of victory was tilting more and more towards the Mycenaeans, Roy raised his spear and said loudly.

"Dear comrades! The Mycenaeans once attacked the city of Athens and have been our enemies for a long time. Now we not only want to aid the city of Corinth, but also avenge ourselves. Come with me to kill the Mycenaeans. "

After saying that, Roy took the lead and rushed towards the city of Corinth.

Roy approached the city of Corinth with 350 soldiers, immediately attracting the attention of both warring parties.

Because Roy's soldiers are all elite soldiers who use bronze weapons, the intervention of this legion will make the outcome of the war unknown.

When Roy's legions attacked the Mycenaeans against the Corinthian city wall, King Sisyphus of Corinth, who was in the center of the battlefield, immediately shouted excitedly.

"Our reinforcements are coming, and victory in this war will be ours."

Reinforcements——

King Sisyphus of Corinth recognized Roy's legions as reinforcements, and the morale of the Corinthian soldiers was greatly boosted.

The Mycenaean soldiers on the offensive side were somewhat demoralized.

Because the Mycenaean soldiers had been exhausted from fighting from morning to afternoon.

Roy joined the battlefield with an elite legion and soon caused hundreds of casualties to the Mycenaean army.
