I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 322 Population Migration From Crete

The Atamas tribe is just one of the four major tribes of the Dorians.

Roy's goal, of course, is not just to destroy the Atamas tribe.

If there were no more than 5,000 Dorian women to manage, the day after destroying the Atamas tribe, Roy would have led his soldiers to the second Dorian tribe.

For more than 5,000 Dorian women and the horses, cattle and sheep of the Atamas tribe, Roy had to station his soldiers in the Atamas tribe, waiting for Harmonia to take over the Atamas tribe with his army.

The third day of conquering the Atamas tribe.

Harmonia finally came to the Atamas tribe with 5,000 troops and took over more than 5,000 Dorian women and horses, cattle and sheep here.

In the big tent of the tribal leader.

Roy held Harmonia and sat on the leader's throne, and exhorted Harmonia with a serious face.

"My dear! Next, I will take 1,500 iron spearmen to destroy the Pheris tribe. You must manage our property - these Dorian women and the horses, cattle and sheep of the Athamas tribe."

After Harmonia nodded seriously, Roy looked at Heller standing next to him.

"If those Dorian women don't obey orders, you can let Heller order them. Heller is the princess of the Athamas tribe, and those Dorian women will definitely obey her orders."

Heller couldn't help but say.

"Will you kill all the men of the Pheris tribe? You can conquer us and let us herd horses and sheep for you!"

Harmonia also frowned and said.

"My dear, we really don't have enough people to fill the Thessaly region."

At this time, the population of the Kingdom of Athens is not so large that they have to migrate to other places, so they will never voluntarily migrate to the Thessaly region and turn this great plain from a prairie into a grain-producing area.

But if Roy forces the migration, it will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

If the Thessaly region is left alone, it will still be occupied by new nomads.

Holding Harmonia's delicate little face with his right hand, Roy said confidently.

"We have at least 50,000 people who can migrate to Thessaly and Macedonia."

"Are you talking about the population of Crete - Knossos?"

The eruption of the volcano on Thera Island not only triggered a tsunami that destroyed the port of Knossos, causing Knossos to completely lose its status as a trade hub, but also caused a large-scale reduction in grain and crop yields due to volcanic ash.

Now the 100,000 people under the rule of Knossos are all in famine. As long as Roy can provide enough food to feed them, these Cretans can migrate.

Roy praised Harmonia.

"You are so smart! I really want to migrate the population of Crete to rule over Thessaly and Macedonia. And I saved the people of Knossos, and I can also let Minos hand over the ruling power of the eastern part of Crete and become my tool like Radamanthys."

The food crisis in Knossos can only rely on external help.

In order to solve the food crisis, Minos was even willing to risk his life to become a mercenary for the Hyksos.

As long as Roy extended a helping hand to Minos, Minos would definitely agree to Roy's conditions and give up his throne.

"Harmonia! Send an envoy to Athens and ask Procne and Philomela to send a fleet to relocate the population of Knossos! Even if Minos is unwilling to give up his throne, we must first relocate the people of Knossos. After all, not only Minos needs us to help him solve the food crisis, we also need the people of Knossos to grow food for us."

The next day.

Roy, who had a brief reunion with Harmonia, took 1,500 iron spearmen and rode the horses of the Atamas tribe to the Pheris tribe.

Harmonia and Heller watched Roy's figure go away, and when Roy's figure disappeared in the distance, Heller took the initiative to speak.

"Queen Harmonia! Your blond hair and blue eyes mean that your mother is a Dorian, so you are also half Dorian. Now your people have been reduced to slaves, don't you want to save them?"

Hearing Heller's words, Harmonia said with a playful sneer.

"Although we Pelasgians worship goddesses, we are a patriarchal society. My father is a Pelasgian, and of course I am also a Pelasgian. Don't treat me as a barbarian like you. Even if my mother is a noble of the Dorian tribe, you and I may be cousins ​​with blood relations, and I will not have any sympathy for you and other Dorians."

Pheres tribe.

This is a Dorian tribe living in the northwest of Thessaly, and it is also the Dorian tribe closest to the Atamas tribe.

Roy's elimination of the Atamas tribe did not seem to alert the Pheris tribe.

When Roy came to the Pheris tribe's station with 1,500 iron lance cavalry, he saw a wedding being held here.

After Roy's soldiers surrounded the Pheris tribe, the male and female warriors of the Pheris tribe took up their weapons but did not take the initiative to attack Roy's soldiers.

Just when Roy was confused, the leader of the Pheris tribe, Admetus, who was over 30 years old, came to Roy and asked.

"Stranger, why did you bring your soldiers to surround us?"

Hearing Admetus's righteous questioning, Roy sneered.

"Do you know that we eliminated the Atamas tribe?"

"Know!"

Admetus nodded and said.

"What does your annihilation of the Atamas tribe have to do with our Feres tribe? I know that the Atamas tribe often goes south to rob you, so we don't treat you as enemies just because you destroyed the Atamas tribe. We, the Ferris Tribe, are separated from you by the Atamas Tribe. We, the Ferris Tribe, have not committed any crimes against you. Do you want to destroy us too?”

Admetus' question left Roy speechless.

Now that the Dorians have been divided into four major tribes, the crimes committed by the Atamas tribe have nothing to do with the Ferris tribe.

If Roy accepts this, there will be no reason to destroy the Ferris tribe.

Looking at Admetus dressed up and looking at the wedding scene where everyone in the Ferris tribe gathered together, Roy suddenly asked.

"You seem to be the leader of the Ferris tribe. Is this your wedding?"

Admetus nodded and said.

"The chief of the Pheres tribe is my father Pheres, and I am Admetus, who is the double king with my father. This is indeed my wedding, and I am about to marry my cousin Alcestis . If you are willing to put down your hostility to us, you will become our most honored guest."

"Let your family come out and see me."

Seeing that Roy seemed convinced, Admetus called his family out.

After Admetus' white-haired parents and his uncle came out with the dressed-up bride, Roy's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the bride, who was only about sixteen years old, and he thought of a good idea.
