Chapter 216 I Want Both the Goddess and the Throne

In this era, the spread of civilization is usually like radiation.

The closer the backward area is to the advanced area, the easier it is to absorb the civilization and technology of the advanced area.

The Sparta region in the southern Peloponnese is more than 200 miles away from Crete.

The Argos region in the northern Peloponnese is more than 400 miles away from Crete.

It only takes one day to travel from Sparta to Crete, and two days to travel from Argos to Crete.

In terms of distance, it is easier for Sparta to absorb advanced civilization from Crete.

And in terms of resources, Argos is not only backward in civilization, but also has an area of ​​only 2,200 square kilometers. The mountainous area is suitable for the development of animal husbandry and small-scale agriculture.

The Sparta region not only has an area of ​​3,600 square kilometers, but also has rich products, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and iron ore reserves.

In the history of another world, after the Dorians invaded the Peloponnese, they established hegemony based on the Sparta region, conquered the Peloponnese and defeated Athens.

No matter how you look at it, the development potential of the Sparta region is far superior to that of the Argos region.

When the Mycenaeans migrated from Crete to the Peloponnese, they abandoned the closer Sparta region and migrated to the farther Argos region - the only reasonable reason was that the Sparta region absorbed advanced civilization and technology from Crete, which led to the Mycenaeans' lack of confidence in conquering and assimilating the Spartans.

"Pandora, you want to use me!"

Roy frowned at Pandora and said.

"Although I believe that Sparta has the strength to challenge Donia, I don't believe that Donia can't defeat Sparta."

"If Donia and Sparta fight one-on-one, Donia can indeed defeat Sparta with all its strength, but Donia still has to face the powerful enemy of Knossos!"

Pandora said with a wry smile.

"If we fight Sparta and Knossos at the same time, Donia will definitely lose to them. Moreover, Sparta has Tenaron in the Pylos region as an ally. Even if Knossos doesn't attack Donia, Donia can't defeat the coalition forces of Sparta and Tenaron."

Tenaron——

Roy knew that this was the city-state guarded by Persephone, the patron saint of the Pylos region.

The Peloponnese Peninsula is divided by the mountainous Arcadia region in the middle. There are four regions in the north of the Peloponnese Peninsula, namely Argos, Corinth, Achae in the mountains, and Elis in the great plains.

There are two regions in the southern part of the Peloponnese, namely Sparta and Pylos.

Hera, the patron goddess of Sparta, and Persephone, the patron goddess of Pylos, are both goddesses in the southern part of the Peloponnese, so they are not only neighbors, but also a pair of close sister gods.

The relationship between Sparta and Tenaron is like the relationship between goddess Hera and goddess Persephone. The two city-states sometimes fight for interests, and sometimes become allies for the same interests.

If Sparta and Tenaron really unite, Donia will really be unable to fight against them.

"The hegemony of Knossos is declining, and there are more and more city-states that want to get a piece of the pie."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"Pandora, I will not allow the city of Donia to collect tolls that affect my interests, and of course I will not allow the city of Sparta to collect tolls. As long as you help me become the king of Donia, I will help you solve the problems of Sparta."

"I clearly said that you should solve the problems of Sparta first, and then I will help you become the king of Donia. Do you want to become the king of Donia now?"

"If I don't have the identity of the king of Donia, what identity should I use to fight with Sparta? It is definitely not appropriate for the king of Athens, who is hundreds of miles away, to interfere in the affairs of the Thera Sea."

Looking at the firm expression on Roy's face, Pandora said helplessly.

"Then you have to make two agreements with me. If I have children with you in the future, the city of Donia will be inherited by my children. If you and I don't have children, you and your descendants cannot change Pandora's status as the patron saint of Donia."

After listening to Pandora's words, Roy said with doubts.

"You are my fiancée. How can you not have children to inherit the city of Donia after we get married? Don't you want to fulfill your marriage contract and marry me--"

"Even if we get married, we may not have children! After all, you are a human and I am a god. We belong to different creatures. You decide quickly whether you want to make these two agreements with me?"

Under Pandora's urging, Roy nodded hesitantly.

"I promise you that the city of Donia will be inherited by your children in the future. Even if we don't have children, my descendants and I will not change your status as the patron saint of the city of Donia."

After Roy finished speaking, Pandora immediately showed a devilish smile, kicked Radamanthys' shoulder with her little feet wearing golden strap sandals and said.

"Brother Radamanthys, don't pretend to sleep anymore. Hurry up and perform the throne transition ceremony and give your throne to Roy."

Radamanthys, lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Pandora with despair.

"Pandora, why are you doing this to me? In the past, your father arranged to marry Deucalion, and now you have a private engagement with Roy. I am a human being like them, and a great hero [Thousand Enemies] like them. Why can't you accept me? Could it be that my brother, who has loved you for more than ten years, is not as good as these men who have only known you for a short time? "

"Brother Radamandis, I have always been grateful for your care, and I have always loved you deeply."

Seeing Rhadamandis' excited expression, Pandora continued.

"But my love for you is the affectionate love a sister has for her brother. Brother Radamandis is a better dedicated man than greedy Roy. I believe you will find a better girl than me in the future. Be my sister-in-law.”

Isn’t this the classic good guy card——

The scene in front of him made Roy couldn't help but sigh again.

The fate of a licking dog is indeed to lick it until it ends with nothing.

With these lessons learned, Roy will never repeat the same mistakes.

"Pandora..."

Calling Pandora's name affectionately, Radamandis seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to Roy and said.

"Roy, as long as you promise me not to be with Pandora, I will give up the throne to you."

Looking at Radamandis who was unwilling to give up, Roy couldn't help but said.

"Radamandis, do you think that if I don't get together with Pandora, you will have a chance to be with the goddess? Even if there is such a possibility, I can't agree to you. Because Pandora and Donia City The throne - I want it all. If you don't hand over the throne, I will let Pandora become the queen first, and I will rule the city of Donia as the queen's husband."

"You want it all-"

Radamandis was completely desperate and said with a trembling voice.

"I can give up the throne to you, but you have to promise not to hurt Pandora, because she is my favorite goddess and sister."
