Chapter 327 Eurytion's Conditional Surrender
Eurytion, the leader of the Phthian tribe, was willing to marry his daughter Laodamia to Loy, but he was only willing to let Loy get one-third of his territory and wealth.
This shows that Eurytion has a son, and he wants to leave two-thirds of his territory and wealth to his son.
After Loy asked Eurytion's envoy to go back, Eurytion's envoy never came back. Obviously Eurytion did not want Loy to replace his son and get his territory and wealth.
The third day when the city of Iolkas was captured by Roy.
Harmonia came with three thousand soldiers to take over the city of Iolcus.
Palace hall.
Roy held Harmonia and sat on the throne, telling Harmonia his plan.
"Harmonia! Divide two thousand of the three thousand soldiers you brought and bring five thousand men from the Aeolian tribe to the Otis area to dig iron ore! You and the remaining one thousand soldiers stay to manage A woman from the Aeolian tribe, so that I can lead the lancers to conquer the Phthian tribe.”
Harmonia smiled happily.
"Dear! The city of Iolkas is the main port in Thessaly and the only city in Thessaly. Now that you let me manage the city of Iolkas, do you intend to let me rule the Thessaly area? ?”
Roy shook his head and said.
"There are four large tribes in Thessaly, which is equivalent to four city-states. If I make you the queen who rules Thessaly, you will become the queen who manages nine city-states and controls half of the territory of the Kingdom of Athens. This Not only will your authority be too great, but the authority of the goddess Mnemosyne will also be so great that it threatens me."
Roy was so defensive about himself and Mnemosyne, Harmonia said with dissatisfaction with her little face.
"Who do you plan to put in charge of Thessaly?"
"Chione!"
Roy said with a smile.
"Now Chione has become the priestess of the goddess Amphitrite, and she is in charge of the Thessaly region. It is just right for the goddess Amphitrite to be worshiped as the port city of Iolkas and the entire Thessaly region. Patron Saint of Salisbury."
In the history of the other world, the city of Iolkas has been the main port city in Thessaly.
In the myth of another world, the patron saint of the city of Iolkas has always been the god of the sea.
When Pelias ruled the city of Iolkas, the sea god Poseidon was regarded as the patron saint of the city of Iolkas, and Pelias also became the son of Poseidon.
Later, Peleus ruled the city of Iolkas, and the sea goddess Thetis was regarded as the patron saint of the city of Iolkas.
Harmonia said with her eyes widened in surprise.
"Dear! The city of Corinth is also a city-state guarded by the goddess Amphitrite. Do you plan to make Chione become the queen of five cities like me, ruling the city of Corinth and the four city-states in Thessaly?"
Roy nodded and said.
"That's what I think! With your talents, it should be no problem to rule five city-states."
Roy made Harmonia and Chione the Queens of the Five Cities, not only to let them share their work, but also to make them immortal gods with him.
Mnemosyne and Amphitrite became the goddesses who protected the five city-states. As long as they developed for a few or more than ten years, they would be powerful enough to make Harmonia and Chione into demigod heroes. , has the qualifications to become a heroic god.
After Roy became an immortal god, he would still be accompanied by these girls who became goddesses.
the next day.
After handing over the city of Iolcus to the management of Harmonia, Roy led 1,500 iron lancers and set out towards the Phthian tribe at the foot of Mount Olympus.
Mount Olympus is the highest peak in Greece.
After the Dorians ruled the Thessaly region, they regarded Mount Olympus as their holy mountain.
In the history of another world, when the Dorians dominated Greece, Mount Olympus, the sacred mountain of the Dorians, not only became the holy mountain of all Greece, but also became the home of all Greek gods.
Geographically, the Olympus Mountains can be said to be the natural dividing line between Thessaly and Macedonia.
The existence of the Olympus Mountains prevented the nomads from the Macedonian Plain from invading the Thessaly region on a large scale.
The Olympus Mountains have always protected the Dorians, perhaps this is why the Dorians regarded Olympus as a sacred mountain.
Roy led 1,500 iron lancers to the station of the Phthian tribe. The leader of the Phthian tribe, Eurytion, neither chose to escape nor to resist.
Because escaping is a dead end, and resistance is a dead end.
After Roy ordered the Iron Lancers to surround the Phthian tribe, seeing that Eurytion did not take any action, Roy rushed directly to the largest tent of the Phthian tribe - Eurytion's leader's tent - one man and one horse.
Roy rode a horse to the outside of Eurytion's tent, and happened to see Eurytion taking a beautiful girl out of the tent under the protection of dozens of personal guards.
"Eurytion! Do you want to fight or surrender? Don't think that if you don't resist or surrender, I won't attack you."
Facing Roy's question, Eurytion took the girl to Roy and said.
"King of Athens! I have decided to marry my daughter Laodamia to you and make you my heir. But you must also promise me to make Laodamia's child one of your heirs."
After Eurytion finished speaking, the girl next to him walked up to Roy alone and said.
"I am Laodamia! I will be your wife. I hope you will treat my family and people well."
After taking a look at Laodamia's small face and figure that would not lose to Heller and Alcestis, Roy leaned over and picked up Laodamia on his horse and said.
"Eurytion, I accept your daughter. Since you choose to surrender, your Phthian tribe must accept the transformation of the Kingdom of Athens, abandon the barbaric and backward nomadic culture, and no longer worship your ancestor Heron. "
Eurytion nodded and said.
"I already know about your transformation of the Ferris tribe. As long as you can ensure food for us, the Phthia tribe can accept the same transformation. But the request I just made - let my grandson be one of your heirs, Do you agree or disagree?"
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Roy glared at Eurytion dissatisfied, then held Laodamia lying on the horse in his arms and said.
"As long as the child Laodamia gives birth to is good enough, I will definitely make her child a more powerful ruler than my grandfather."
Hearing Roy's words, Eurytion immediately smiled happily.
Unlike the far East, which regards daughters as outsiders, the West also regards daughters and grandchildren as heirs.
Although Eurytion felt sad that he could not let his son become the next generation leader of the Phthian tribe.
But the grandson who inherits his bloodline can become a more powerful ruler, which is indeed something that makes Eurytion happy.
Looking at Eurytion's smiling face, Roy said expressionlessly.
"Eurytion! Prepare to take the Phthian tribe to migrate to the Great Plains of Macedonia! I will incorporate the Great Plains of Macedonia into the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, and then let the tribes of Phyres and Phthia serve me in the Great Plains of Macedonia. Raise horses.”
