I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 202 The Battle Between Pandora and Europa

Mount Igi.

This mountain is not only the highest peak on Crete, but also the natural dividing line between the east and west of Crete.

At this time, in the plain area at the foot of the southern side of Mount Igi, two armies of 5,000 people were confronting each other.

The 5,000 troops in the east were composed of 3,000 Knossos soldiers and 2,000 soldiers from vassal cities led by Minos [Deucalion], the king of Knossos who had just inherited the throne, and the 5,000 troops in the west were composed of 4,000 soldiers from Donia led by Radamanthys, the king of Donia, and 1,000 soldiers from vassal cities.

Minos [Deucalion], the king of Knossos, and Radamanthys, the king of Donia, were both young kings in their twenties, and they were also the two most powerful heroes on Crete.

"Radamanthys--"

Minos, wearing a horned helmet, stood in front of his army and said expressionlessly to Radamanthys who was confronting him.

"What's wrong with you? You dare to challenge our city of Knossos? If your sister Pandora had married me according to the engagement, I could still forgive your challenge. Unfortunately, the unfaithful Pandora betrayed me and chose to become the concubine of my enemy Roy. Now I will punish you by destroying you and the city of Donia."

"Deucalion-Since you have inherited the throne of the city of Knossos, I will call you Minos!"

Radamanthys said to Minos with a smile while wearing a helmet decorated with feathers.

"Minos, do you think you are really stronger than me? In the past, I always lost to you in duels because the city of Knossos was stronger than the city of Donia, so I had to lose to you. I don't want to pretend to lose to you, nor do I want to marry my beloved sister Pandora to you. Now I finally don't have to hide my true thoughts anymore."

"Radamanthys, you said you were pretending to lose to me-"

Minos pointed his bronze spear at Radamanthys and sneered.

"Then let's have a real showdown now. I want you to lose with conviction."

"Arrogant Minos, you will definitely lose."

The two young and energetic kings rushed towards each other to fight, and the soldiers of Knossos and Donia also collided like two tides.

Donia City.

This city is located in the northwest of Crete. To the east is the Suza Bay between Crete and the Akrotiri Peninsula, and to the west is the Donia Bay between the Akrotiri Peninsula, Crete, and the Rozopos Peninsula.

Three thousand six hundred years later, Donia City became one of the main ports of Crete. Even the world's only superpower is building a naval base in the Suza Bay. It can be seen that Donia City also has the potential to develop into a trade hub.

At the east gate of Donia City, Pandora stood on the stone wall, looking at the war in the central part of Crete with a solemn expression.

"Knossos City has weakened to this extent, don't let me down-Radamanthys!"

Pandora said to herself.

"As long as you defeat Minos, Donia City also has the potential to compete for the hegemony of the Aegean Sea."

After saying that, Pandora stretched out her hands to the left and right and slowly closed her eyes.

Flutter! Flutter!

A pair of wings with divine light stretched out from Pandora's back.

As the wings fluttered, Pandora's body seemed to be able to leave the ground at any time.

Flutter-flutter--

When the pair of wings fluttered twelve times in a row, Pandora's body remained firmly in place, but a looming Pandora left Pandora's body and fluttered its wings to fly to the Pandora Temple in the palace of Donia City.

A moment later.

A goddess with black wings on her back appeared above Donia City with a huge figure of a thousand meters in height.

This is a goddess with the same face and figure as Pandora, but under the influence of the goddess's divine power, the goddess has a beauty and charm that the human Pandora does not have.

Goddess Pandora opened her eyes, looked at the world with her owl-like golden eyes, and said with a happy smile on her face.

"The humiliation left to me by Europa will end today."

After saying that, Goddess Pandora vibrated the wings behind her, and her figure immediately turned into a black streamer and flew to the central part of Crete.

Central Crete.

The war between Radamanthys and Minos is still going on.

As the fierce fight between Radamanthys and Minos continued to this day, Radamanthys and Minos had already realized that their strength was on par with each other and it was impossible to determine the winner in a short time.

"Radamanthys, you are worthy of being a hero as famous as me, but it's a pity that you will definitely lose this battle."

After declaring victory, Minos prayed loudly while fighting.

"Great goddess Europa, please lend me your power so that I can defeat the enemies of Knossos."

As soon as Minos finished his prayer, goddess Europa descended on the battlefield in the form of a bull-headed goddess with a height of one kilometer and two horns on her head.

Radamanthys said calmly.

"Minos, don't think that only your city of Knossos is protected by the patron saint. Our city of Donia is also protected by goddess Pandora. Great goddess Pandora, I ask for your help to help me defeat the enemy in front of me."

Before Radamanthys finished speaking, goddess Pandora flapped her wings and descended on the battlefield, confronting goddess Europa.

"Pandora--"

Europa looked at Pandora calmly and said.

"We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years."

"The trauma you left me in the past was so severe that I had to spend hundreds of years healing it."

Pandora sneered.

"Europa, I have been dormant for so long, and finally waited until your strength weakened, and I can return all the humiliation you left me."

Europa sighed and said.

"We are sisters living on Crete, why do we have to fight each other? Don't you think we should join forces to fight against the gods outside Crete?"

"That sounds good! Then are you willing to use Mount Igi in the middle of Crete to divide the territory with me, and guarantee that you will not hinder the development of Donia City into a trade hub in the Aegean Sea?"

"Pandora--"

Hearing Pandora's request, Europa said with an unpleasant face.

"Don't you understand that only when the whole of Crete is headed by me and Knossos can all the city-states on Crete be united. You want to be on an equal footing with me, and Donia wants to compete with Knossos for the status of a trade hub, which will only disperse our strength and prevent us from fighting against the gods outside Crete. The smart thing to do is to make me the only patron saint of Crete. I promise to make you my first subordinate god, and you will have a sacred status second only to me in Crete."

"Do you think I'm a fool? You are so righteous, why don't you make me the only patron saint of Crete? I can also promise you that I will make you my first subordinate god, and you will have a sacred status second only to me."

Pandora sneered and sneered.

"Europa, if you are really righteous in your heart, kneel down and surrender to me, and become my subordinate god! If you say those words just to defend your own interests, then don't waste time, let us use strength to decide the interests!"
