Chapter 333 Aeetes, Son of the Sun God

Feeling Hippolyta staring at him fiercely, Roy continued.

"Queen Hippolyta! Although I can't sell you the black iron weapons of the Kingdom of Athens, I can sell you bronze weapons and various copperware."

Bronze weapons are different from black iron weapons.

Even if Hippolyta takes out more gold, it is impossible to buy black iron weapons in other places outside the Kingdom of Athens.

Roy doesn't sell bronze weapons, and Hippolyta can buy bronze weapons from many places with gold.

Roy is better to earn Hippolyta's gold himself than to let others exchange bronze weapons and copperware for Hippolyta's gold.

And making the Amazon tribe dependent on the weapons of the Kingdom of Athens can also temporarily guarantee peace between the two sides.

"Are you willing to sell me bronze weapons--"

Hippolyta said in an unhappy tone.

"Bronze weapons are not unique to your Kingdom of Athens. I can only buy bronze weapons and various bronze items from you at the price of one pound of gold in exchange for one pound of bronze."

"Okay!"

Roy readily agreed to the price proposed by Hippolyta, but Hippolyta still said unwillingly.

"You should consider selling me the black iron weapons! I am going to turn all the men of the Pelos tribe into gold-digging slaves. As long as you are willing to sell me the black iron weapons, I can accept even if you ask for one thousand pounds of gold in exchange for one pound of black iron weapons."

Roy shook his head without hesitation.

"Queen Hippolyta! Gold can neither be eaten nor made into weapons or farm tools. What's the use of so much gold for me! The value of gold lies in the fact that someone is willing to buy gold jewelry at a high price. As long as I am not interested in gold jewelry, gold has no value."

After Hippolyta and her three thousand knights left with more than 10,000 men from the Pelos tribe, Roy and 1,500 iron spearmen remained in the Pelos tribe to manage more than 10,000 women in the Pelos tribe.

When the Phthia and Pheris tribes migrated to the west of the Great Macedonian Plain, Roy would return to Iolcas with the Lancers and more than 5,000 unmarried girls from the Pelos tribe.

The Sun Tribe.

This is the most powerful tribe in Thrace, and the king of the Sun Tribe is Aeetes, the son of the sun god Helios.

A fertile plain between the lower reaches of the Danube and the Black Sea is where the king's tent of the Sun Tribe is located.

At this time, in the king's tent of the Sun Tribe, Aeetes, the young and powerful son of the sun god Helios, was meeting two special guests-Athamas and his son Phrixus.

As the king of Thrace who nominally ruled all tribes in the Thrace region, Aeetes sat on a throne made of gold, with an extremely powerful prestige.

This son of the sun god seemed to be not afraid of the cold without a shirt, and a sun wheel was tattooed on his body with golden dye.

His long golden hair was tied into a bunch with a red headband, and he had a short beard on his face.

Atamas and Phrixus looked at Aeetes with awe, their fear almost written on their faces.

Aeetes asked Atamas and Phrixus with a playful smile.

"You said you have important news to tell me. Is this news worth wasting my precious time on you?"

Atamas nodded immediately.

"Great Aeetes, this news is indeed very important. Our Dorian tribe was defeated by the black-haired people in the south in Thessaly. If those black-haired people were more numerous than us, it would not be surprising for us to be defeated by them. But our four major Dorian tribes of more than 50,000 people were defeated by 1,500 black-haired warriors holding a black weapon. That black weapon is like a weapon of the gods, which can easily kill our warriors. Our bodies are as fragile as autumn dry grass in front of the sharp blade of the black weapon."

"Black weapon--"

Aeetes frowned and said.

"Can't you tell the difference between gold and black? You mistook the gold bronze weapon for a black weapon? My tribe also has sharp bronze weapons, which I bought from a merchant from the Troy area."

As he spoke, Aeetes pulled out a bronze dagger from a scabbard.

"This bronze weapon is indeed very sharp. I plan to equip all my personal guards with bronze weapons."

Athamas glanced at the bronze dagger in Aeetes' hand, then shook his head and said.

"Great Aeetes, this is not the black weapon that the black-haired people in the south use to defeat us. Excuse me, that black weapon is sharper than the dagger in your hand."

"You said that black weapon is sharper than the bronze weapon-"

Athamas' words finally attracted Aeetes' attention.

At this moment, a girl with dazzling golden hair and a golden ring around her neck walked into the king's tent and said.

"Father, I have good news for you."

The blonde girl walked to Aeetes and sat on the armrest of the golden throne and said.

"Our craftsmen have successfully made bronze spearheads. We no longer need to buy bronze weapons from those merchants."

"Hahahaha——"

Aeetes immediately laughed happily.

"My dear daughter Phyllis, this is indeed good news. There are copper mines and woods on our territory, and we are also lucky to have craftsmen who can smelt bronze. All of this is the result of the great Father God Helios. Si's love for us. Soon - our warriors will be equipped with bronze weapons made by ourselves. We don't have to worry about those farming peoples conquering us with bronze weapons, let alone other nomadic peoples to snatch our territory. "

Phrixus looked at Princess Phyllis, the daughter of Aeetes, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Among the girls he had ever seen, Phyllis was undoubtedly the most beautiful and noble.

If he can become Phyllis's husband, he can regain his territory with the help of King Aeetes of the Sun Tribe, and even have the opportunity to inherit Aeetes' throne and become the leader of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in Thrace. The titular king of his territory and all tribes.

"Great Aeetes—"

Driven by some kind of desire, Phrixus said boldly.

"You have to see the threat from the Kingdom of Athens, and I don't think they will be satisfied by taking the Thessaly region. I feel that they only have fifteen hundred black weapons now, and this is our best chance to eliminate the Kingdom of Athens."

Seeing Phrixus admonishing Aeetes without authorization, Athamas said in a panic.

"Phrixus, how dare you speak without permission. Great Aeetes, please forgive my son Phrixus, and I will teach him a lesson."

Aeetes looked at Phrixus with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and teased with a smile.

"Young Phrixus, do you want to provoke a war between me and the Kingdom of Athens and ask me to help your father and son regain the territory and people?"

Phrixus shook his head without hesitation and said.

"I have no idea of ​​taking advantage of you, I just want you to see the threat the Kingdom of Athens poses to us."
