Chapter 328 Heading to the Macedonian Plain

Before night falls.

Roy took Laodamia back to the city of Iolcus.

The royal palace of Aeolus.

Roy took Laodamia into the palace hall. Harmonia, who was sitting with Heller and Alcestis, saw another beautiful blond girl beside Roy, and her face immediately showed dissatisfaction. expression.

"Dear! It turns out that you are not going to conquer the Phthian tribe, but to capture Princess Laodamia, the daughter of Eurytion."

Hearing Harmonia's teasing, Roy smiled and explained.

"Eurytion asked me to marry Laodamia as a condition for his surrender to me. I only accepted it to avoid sacrifices on both sides."

Seeing Laodamia standing behind Roy like a well-behaved and obedient little wife, Harmonia sighed and said.

"Laodamia, from now on, please stay with me along with Heller and Alcestis!"

Seeing that Roy had no objection, Laodamia immediately walked to Heller and Alcestis and said.

"Hale! Alcestis! It seems that we will always be together in the future. Please take good care of me, two sisters."

"You should be the one taking care of me."

Heller said with an ugly expression.

"Although we are both tribal princesses, you and Alcestis will be his wives, and I will just be his slave."

Alcestis also looked at Harmonia and said.

"Laodamia! Although we are both women of His Majesty the King of Athens, you and I are supposed to be just side chambers with lower status, so we must obey the orders of Sister Harmonia."

After Roy came and sat down next to Harmonia, Harmonia ordered Heller, Alcestis, and Laodamia to make dinner while speaking to Roy.

"Dear! I have sent an envoy to the city of Athens. Chione may come to the city of Iolkas with the first batch of immigrants from Crete in ten days. Now the four major tribes of the Dorians are Has been conquered by us, is this war over? "

"Ten days——"

Hearing this time unit, Roy said with some dissatisfaction.

"As the territory of the Kingdom of Athens expanded, communication between various regions of the Kingdom of Athens took longer and longer. If the round trip from Athens to Egypt and Thrace took half a month or even a month , the Kingdom of Athens simply cannot effectively control border areas such as Egypt and Thrace. It seems that in order to shorten the time spent on communication between various regions, I will build a steamship that can reach three times the speed of a sailboat. With fast-sailing steamships, the round trip time from Athens to Egypt and Thrace can be controlled within ten days.”

Harmonia asked curiously.

"Steam ship? Does the ship emit steam?"

"Harmonia, when I build the steamship, you will know what the steamship looks like. But I can't start the design and manufacture of the steamship until I end this war."

"This war is not over yet?"

"No!"

Roy said looking to the north.

"Although we don't even have enough people to migrate to Thessaly, I will attack the Macedonian region next and drive the Pheresian and Phthian tribes to the Macedonian plains to raise horses for me. Only the Macedonian region can Only by annihilating all the Thracians or giving them a painful lesson can the Thracians not dare to offend the Kingdom of Athens in a short period of time. "

"My dear, when will you end the war and marry me?"

Harmonia said with some resentment.

"After we met, you spent most of your time either fighting or on the way to the battlefield. If you are like this in the future, how much time can you spend with me?"

Roy said with a guilty conscience.

"Harmonia! I promise to finish this war before the end of June, and then hold a wedding in the second half of the year to marry you, and I will always be by your side."

"There are so many girls around you now. In the next six months of the year, I hope you can spare one month to stay with me."

Looking at the pleading expression on Harmonia's little face, Roy nodded and said.

"I will definitely spend a month with you."

After Roy finished speaking, Heller, Alcestis, and Laodamia walked in with dinner.

While enjoying dinner under the service of Heller, Alcestis, and Laodamia, the myth of another world emerged in Roy's mind.

In the myths of another world, Helle, Alcestis, and Laodamia are all the names of Dorian princesses in Thessaly.

Alcestis and Laodamia are both loyal wives in mythology.

When Alcestis' husband was about to die, Alcestis volunteered to take his place and sacrifice her soul to the god of death.

After Laodamia's fiancé died on the battlefield of Troy, Laodamia died in love for her fiancé.

Heller - This is a name that sounds similar to Helen.

In the myth of Jason's capture of the Golden Fleece, Heller was buried in the sea when he was young.

But Helen, whose name is similar to Heller, was an unfaithful wife and neglectful mother who abandoned her husband and daughter after being bewitched by the power of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

Because Heller and Helen have similar names, and they are both Dorian princesses, Roy has always subconsciously regarded Heller as the prototype of Helen, thinking that she would become a woman who betrayed her husband.

the next day.

Roy once again left Iolkas with his lancers.

Roy's goal was to enter the Great Plain of Macedonia from the plain east of the Olympus Mountains.

The area of ​​the Macedonian region is about 20,000 square kilometers. In the era of 3,600 years later, it was one of the richest and most developed regions in Greece.

There is not only fertile land suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, but also metal resources such as gold, silver, copper, tin and lead.

In the era of 3,600 years later, as much as 33 million tons of gold have been mined in the Chalkidiki Peninsula, and the gold mine resources have not been exhausted.

Now the Macedonian region is ruled by the Thracians, and there is also a Thracian tribe that worships the god of wine Dionysus.

In the ancient city of Macedonia in another world, after excavation, there is a picture of the god of wine Dionysus riding a leopard inlaid on the floor.

In the cities of the Macedonian region, there is also a grape festival that may be related to the god of wine Dionysus.

Because the god of wine Dionysus is also a god in charge of grapes.

If there are no grapes, it is impossible to make wine.

Therefore, in mythology, vines, wine, and grapes are all symbols of Dionysus, the god of wine.

Looking around the world, other regions do not worship Dionysus as the main god.

As a nomadic people in the north, the Thracians worship Dionysus as the main god, perhaps because in the cold winter, the only thing that can bring warmth to their bodies is the sun and wine.

Helios, the sun god, is the king of gods who rules the Thracian region, which is the proof of the Thracians' desire to survive the cold winter.

Unfortunately, worshiping Dionysus, the god of wine, and becoming an alcoholic will not only fail to make the tribe stronger, but will make the tribe weaker and weaker, so Dionysus, the god of wine, is probably the weakest patron saint in the Thracian region.
