Chapter 196 You Owe Me a Life-Saving Favor

Even if Roy suddenly killed Sisyphus and occupied Corinth, Amphitrite did not feel angry with Roy.

Because if Roy did not help Corinth, Corinth would have been conquered by the Mycenaeans long ago, and Amphitrite would have been humiliated by the Mycenae gods Zeus and Poseidon.

Now hearing Roy say that he wanted to dig the Corinth Canal, Amphitrite sighed and said.

"Are you willing to be my priest?"

In this era, Roy can become a king who rules many cities, but Roy cannot serve as other priests at the same time.

In other words, Amphitrite wanted Roy to give up his identity as a priest of Metis and become a priest serving her.

"Goddess Amphitrite, I can't betray Goddess Metis."

"Then how can I trust you and let you hold the highest power in Corinth?"

Amphitrite said with a helpless bitter smile.

"If you can convince me to believe you, I will not interfere with your fight with Glaucus."

"I love you--"

Roy hesitated for a moment, and then said to Amphitrite with deep affection.

"From the first time I saw you, I was deeply infatuated with you and dreamed of making you my wife. Because I love you so deeply, I will never do anything to hurt you."

After listening to Roy's confession, Amphitrite looked at Roy's eyes with surprise.

Roy's eyes were indeed full of desire for her, which made Amphitrite believe Roy's words.

"If you really love me as deeply as you love a woman, then you may not hurt me, but it is impossible for me and you to be together."

"Of course I understand the gap between humans and gods, so I won't have any thoughts about you that I shouldn't have. I just want to use my wisdom to develop the city of Corinth, so that your divine power and status will increase with the development of the city of Corinth."

Amphitrite showed a shaken expression and looked at Glaucus and said.

"If you can promise not to kill Glaucus, I will believe you."

"I promise to only expel Glaucus, and never kill him."

Hearing Roy's promise, Amphitrite's body turned into a blue divine light and flew back to the Aegean Sea.

After watching Amphitrite leave, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Amphitrite really interfered with today's events, she could not only allow Glaucus to be blessed with divine power to improve his strength, but also take back the blessing and divine power bestowed on Roy, so that Roy's strength would change from a great hero [thousands of enemies] to a hero [hundreds of enemies].

At that time, Roy would inevitably fail to capture Corinth City and could only flee from Corinth City in embarrassment.

Looking at the Acropolis of Corinth, seeing Glaucus standing at the gate of the Acropolis, staring at him with an extremely angry look, Roy waved a bronze spear and rushed towards the Acropolis of Corinth.

When he came to the wooden door of the Acropolis Gate, Roy ignored the spears stabbed by Glaucus and a group of soldiers, and directly hit the fence gate with his body.

Bang, bang, bang, bang--

Because Roy had the blessing of Amphitrite [Bronze Skin and Iron Bones], the attacks of Glaucus and ordinary soldiers fell on Roy, and even the bronze spear blade could not pierce Roy's body.

Under the impact of Roy's great hero [Thousand Enemies], the wooden fence door of the Acropolis Mountain Gate was directly smashed by Roy, and Glaucus and dozens of soldiers who were blocking the door were also knocked to the ground by Roy's power.

Stepping on the fragments of the wooden fence door and walking into the Acropolis of Corinth, Roy pointed the spear blade of his war spear at Glaucus and said.

"Glaucus, don't make stupid resistance anymore. I will let you leave for the sake of the goddess Amphitrite."

Glaucus got up from the ground and said angrily while looking at Roy with gritted teeth.

"I really regret not reminding my father to be careful of you, an ambitious person who robbed his father-in-law's family business. Since I can't beat you, a bastard, then you can kill me if you want. I don't need your mercy."

Looking at Glaucus who was full of hatred for him, Roy smiled and teased.

"Glaucus, are you mistaken? If I hadn't helped Corinth, you and Sisyphus would have been killed by the Mycenaeans, and Corinth would have been conquered by the Mycenaeans. I am the benefactor who saved you and your son, and Corinth. You are alive today because of me. Even if I kill Sisyphus now, you still owe me a life-saving grace, so you have no right to resent me."

"You--"

Glaucus stared at Roy angrily, but couldn't say anything to refute.

Because Roy was indeed the benefactor who saved Sisyphus and Glaucus, and saved Corinth.

"Since you said I owe you a life-saving grace, I will give you this life now."

Seeing that Glaucus wanted to commit suicide with the spear in his hand, Roy grabbed the spear of Glaucus with his left hand and persuaded him.

"Glaucus, if you die like this, how will your wife and children live? I don't want to kill your family. I allow you to leave Corinth with your family members and property, as well as those who are willing to follow you."

"You don't kill me - aren't you worried that I will take back Corinth?"

"If I can't make the Corinthians live a better life, I also hope you can take Corinth back from me. If I can make the Corinthians live a better life, even if I leave Corinth alone, the Corinthians will not support you to become the King of Corinth."

Looking at Roy's confident expression, Glaucus felt aggrieved.

It would be fine if he couldn't beat Roy, but he still owed Roy a life-saving grace, so he couldn't justify revenge on Roy.

"Roy! I can leave Corinth as you requested, but from now on, I will no longer owe you a life-saving grace, nor will I declare war on you in the name of revenge for my father. When your rule makes the Corinthians suffer, I will come to rescue the Corinthians and let Corinth return to the rule of our family."

"Just as you said, you will no longer owe me a life-saving grace."

After Roy accepted Glaucus's request, Glaucus looked at the soldiers around him and said.

"Dear companions! I will leave Corinth with my family and property. Who of you is willing to follow me?"

The palace soldiers were basically raised by Sisyphus, and at this time they walked to Glaucus without hesitation.

The ordinary soldiers hesitated, and only dozens of them chose to follow Glaucus.

In the end, there were only 300 soldiers following Glaucus.

Roy was not surprised by this result.

The rulers of this era who could prevent people from starving to death in their territories were already praised by everyone as wise kings.

Their rule could not make their people abandon everything and follow them.

When faced with foreign invasions, the locals would unite around the rulers, not because they supported the rulers, but because in this era, foreign invaders conquered the locals, not only taking away food and causing the locals to starve to death, but also taking away the locals' wives and daughters, causing the locals' beloved wives and daughters to suffer various humiliations.

Sisyphus and Glaucus were obviously not rulers that ordinary Corinthians would want to follow.
