Chapter 320: No Need to Keep Your Word with Slaves

At noon when the sun was high in the sky.

After the men of the Atamas tribe and the Dorian women who dared to resist were killed, Roy began to observe the Atamas tribe carefully.

As a nomadic civilization, the Dorians could neither build walls nor houses.

They lived in tents made of cowhide, so the Atamas tribe was densely distributed with thousands of tents.

When Roy's soldiers drove the captured Dorian women together, Roy was even more surprised to see that although thousands of Dorian women were killed for resistance, the number of Dorian women who became captives was still more than 5,000.

Among them, the number of Dorian girls who looked like unmarried girls was more than 2,000.

"Women who took up weapons to fight... There are more women than men... Am I in the tribe of Amazon warriors?"

Although the Pelasgians are a group that worships goddesses, their culture requires women to obey their husbands, and women's daily work is also weaving at home.

Roy would feel at ease to hand over his power to Procne, Philomela and Harmonia, because they were Pelasgian girls who obeyed their husbands and it was almost impossible for them to betray Roy.

Although the Dorians were a tribe that worshipped the male god Heron, they not only required men to receive military training from an early age, but also Dorian women to receive certain military training.

This is exactly why thousands of Dorian women took up arms and fought with Roy's soldiers.

Looking at the Dorian women with strong bodies and fighting spirit in their eyes, Roy had to suspect that one of the prototypes of the Amazon warriors in the mythology of another world was the Dorian women.

Because Dorian women really fit the image of Amazon warriors.

In the Dorian tribe, whenever a child is born, the boy will undergo two life tests.

The first test that a Dorian boy receives after birth comes from the tribal priest.

If the priest thinks he is unhealthy, he will be thrown into the abandoned baby field in the wilderness.

The second test that a Dorian boy receives after birth comes from his mother.

The boy's mother would bathe him with strong liquor. If he had a seizure or lost consciousness, it would prove that he was not strong and his mother would let him die because he could not grow up to be a good warrior.

Because these two life tests reduced the number of Dorian men, the Dorian tribe was usually a country of women with more women than men.

In this situation where there were more women than men, the Dorian culture not only had no constraints on women, but also actively promoted the culture of sharing wives.

That is, when Dorian men were old, they had to agree that their young wives had children with other men and raise the children born by their wives with other men.

There were more than two thousand unmarried girls in the Atamas tribe, not only because there were more women than men in the Dorian tribe, but also because the Dorians stipulated that men could only get married at the age of thirty.

This was also the reason why there were old men and young wives in the Dorian tribe and the system of sharing wives had to be implemented.

Women were female warriors who received military training, the tribe was a country of women with more women than men, and there was no culture of women being loyal to their husbands -

The image of Dorian women and Amazon female warriors cannot be said to be 100% similar, but can only be said to be completely consistent.

At this moment, hundreds of slave men and women in tattered clothes ran to Roy and knelt down.

These people were Pelasgians captured by the Dorians. If Roy hadn't saved them, they would have been slaves of the Dorians until their death.

Roy accepted their thanks calmly and said to them.

"All unfortunate people! From now on, you are no longer slaves of the Dorians. I know that the slavery of the Dorians has caused you unimaginable harm, so I will compensate you with the property of the Dorians."

Hearing Roy's words, many slaves couldn't help crying.

Because they really didn't expect that Roy would not only save them, but also compensate them with the property of the Dorians.

A white-faced and beardless slave man who was obviously turned into a eunuch mustered up the courage to say to Roy.

"Great King of Athens! In order to prevent us slave men from having children with Dorian women, the Dorians destroyed all of us slave men. I am willing to give up compensation, and please allow me to kill a Dorian for revenge."

"Yes!"

Roy said without hesitation.

"There are more than 5,000 Dorian women here. All of you slave men who have been hurt can kill a married Dorian woman for revenge."

With Roy's permission, the slave man immediately pounced on a married Dorian woman and strangled her to death.

With this slave man taking the lead, other slave men also took action.

In a blink of an eye, hundreds of married Dorian women became corpses.

When the remaining Dorian women trembled in fear, a Dorian girl with noble clothes and beautiful face rushed to Roy and complained.

"You clearly said that you would not kill those who surrendered, so why do you want to kill even women like us who surrendered now?"

Looking at this beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes, Roy asked curiously.

"Who are you?"

"I am Hele, the daughter of the leader Athamas! The people you killed are not only my people, but also my people."

Knowing the identity of the girl, Roy looked at the golden bronze belt around her waist and said.

"You are indeed the daughter of Atamas, the great leader of the Atamas tribe. Although we did say that we will not kill you if we surrender, but these people who were demoted as slaves by you will take revenge on you, and the death of your people will not be considered unjust. Bar!"

Heller said unconvinced.

"Just like it is natural for wolves to eat sheep, it is also natural for these people to be captured and turned into slaves by us. What qualifications do they have to take revenge?"

Loy was not surprised that Heller's views were incorrect.

Because this is how the Dorians' culture educates them.

"Heller, let me ask you a question, will you Dorians make promises to your slaves?"

"of course not!"

Heller answered without hesitation.

"In order to motivate the slaves to complete the work assigned by us, we will even promise to free the slaves. But after the slaves actually complete the work, even if we kill the slaves, we will not really free the slaves."

In the history of another world, the Dorians [Spartans] once defeated Athens with two thousand helot slaves.

To motivate these Helot slaves, the Dorians [Spartans] promised them freedom.

But after the war, these Helot slaves who made great contributions to the Dorians [Spartans] defeating Athens not only did not get the freedom they wanted, but were also massacred by the Dorians.

After hearing Heller's answer, Roy said with a joking smile.

"Heller! Since you Dorians feel that you do not need to be trustworthy to slaves, then you can just think that I am not trustworthy to you Dorian slaves! If you are not satisfied - so what if you are dissatisfied?"
