I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 334 Helios, the Sun God

Looking at Phrixus' sincere expression, Aeetes remained silent with a smile.

Just as Phrixus began to feel uneasy, a soldier guarding the king's tent walked in and said.

"Your Majesty, the high priest of the Pelos tribe wants to see your Majesty."

"The Pelos tribe that worships Dionysus, the god of wine?"

Aeetes said with doubt.

"Let him in!"

A moment later.

A middle-aged priest with disheveled hair walked into the king's tent, knelt in front of Aeetes and cried.

"Great Aeetes, please save our Pelos tribe. The evil Kingdom of Athens invaded the Great Plain of Macedonia, not only killing our tribal king Pelos, but also turning our tribe members of the Pelos tribe into slaves. Now only the great you can save our Pelos tribe."

"The Kingdom of Athens was not satisfied with conquering the Thessaly region, and actually invaded the Great Plain of Macedonia again?"

Upon hearing this news, Aeetes' face immediately became ugly.

Since the Kingdom of Athens has proved their ambitions with facts, the Kingdom of Athens is the enemy that the Sun Tribe must face.

"Phrixus, it seems that you are right. The Kingdom of Athens is indeed a threat and enemy to our Sun Tribe."

Hearing Aeetes' praise for himself, Phrixus said happily.

"Your Majesty Aeetes! If you decide to deal with the Kingdom of Athens, I am willing to lead your army."

"What reward do you want?"

"I don't expect to take back my territory and people, I just hope you can marry the beautiful Princess Phyllis to me."

"You want to be my son-in-law--"

Seeing his daughter Phyllis shaking her head with an anxious expression, Aeetes smiled.

"Phrixus, if you can prove that you are good enough, I will give you a chance to become my son-in-law."

"Your Majesty Aeetes!"

The high priest of the Pelos tribe said loudly.

"I came to ask for your help, why don't you respond to me first?"

"Because you are the high priest of Dionysus, the god of wine."

Aeetes said with disgust.

"What I hate most is you drunkards who are worse than women. You are like giant babies who never grow up. You only hope that Dionysus or other tribes will save you. If the men of the Pelos tribe were all brave and strong warriors, you would not lose to the Kingdom of Athens even if you were holding wooden sticks."

Aeetes' words were not exaggerated at all.

Roy was able to defeat the four major tribes of the Dorians with 1,500 iron spearmen because he defeated the four major tribes of the Dorians one by one.

If all the men over the age of 16 in the Pelos tribe fought to the death with Roy's army with wooden weapons, Roy would definitely lose to them.

Because even if he could defeat them, Roy did not want to commit huge casualties.

It's a pity that the men of the Pelos tribe were not warriors who could fight to the death, but drunkards who worshipped Dionysus.

"Since the Pelos tribe has been destroyed by the Kingdom of Athens, the Pelos tribe will disappear completely! You priests who serve Dionysus, the god of wine, must leave the Thracian region, because I will not allow you to poison the Thracian warriors of other tribes with the belief in Dionysus."

"Your Majesty Aeetes, you want to eliminate the belief in Dionysus, the god of wine, in the Thracian region?"

The high priest of the Pelos tribe said in disbelief.

"It would be fine if you didn't save the Pelos tribe, but you actually want to expel the great god of wine Dionysus. You don't know how great a god Dionysus is. If all the tribes in the Thracian region worship Dionysus, and all the Thracian warriors drink strong liquor before the war-"

"Then all Thracian tribes will be destroyed, and all Thracian men will become slaves, watching foreign conquerors take our wives and daughters for themselves."

Aeetes looked at the high priest of the Pelos tribe with cold eyes and said coldly.

"Don't challenge my patience. Leave Thrace immediately before I decide to kill you."

Although Dionysus, the god of wine, is a god in Thrace, he was expelled by the king of Thrace--

This is a true story recorded in the mythology of another world.

The Thracian king named Lycurgus was described as a madman in Greek mythology because he expelled Dionysus, the god of wine.

Greek mythology reflects very realistically that Lycurgus, as the king of Thrace, did not believe in the Greek gods.

So he was a cruel and godless tyrant in Greek mythology.

After the high priest of the Pelos tribe, Athamas, and Phrixus all left the king's tent, Phyllis immediately complained to Aeetes with dissatisfaction.

"Father! Although the marriage of children should be decided by their parents, why did you marry me to Phrixus? He was originally the heir of a tribe of 10,000 people, and now he has lost his tribe and territory."

"Phyllis, I didn't say I would marry you to Phrixus."

Aeetes explained with a smile.

"I just want to use Phrixus and give him a chance. If he is really excellent, I will marry you to him."

Above the royal tent of the Sun Tribe, there is a huge royal tent that cannot be seen by human eyes.

This magnificent royal tent is like the sun, shining with dazzling divine light.

This sky royal tent is the temple of the king of gods in the Thracian region - the sun god Helios.

At this time, in the Thracian Pantheon, the sun god Helios sat on the golden throne, and in front of him stood the Dorian gods Heron and Dionysus.

"Dear brother Heron, how long have we not seen each other?"

Helios looked at Heron with a smile and teased.

"The Dorians you guarded migrated to the Thessaly region far away from the Sun Tribe, and then broke away from the rule of the Sun Tribe. I thought you also left my Pantheon, but I didn't expect you to come to my Pantheon again."

Heron bowed his head respectfully.

"Great Sun God King Helios, the humble Heron will always be your subordinate god."

Helios looked at Heron with a satisfied expression, and then said with some disappointment.

"Xiron, you are my watchdog. I thought the Dorians would go south to conquer the Mycenaeans, and you would also step on Zeus. Then Zeus would be a second-rate dog stepped on by my watchdog Helios. I didn't expect that you would disappoint me after all. Do you deserve to call yourself a foresighted [Prometheus]?"

"Your Majesty Helios--"

Xiron said unwillingly.

"If the Kingdom of Athens had not suddenly risen, the Dorians would definitely have conquered the Mycenaeans, and I would have stepped on Zeus. Prove to the gods that Prometheus is the dog under the feet of the sun god Helios, and Zeus is the dog under the feet of Prometheus. Zeus is a dog stepped on by Helios' dog, and this is the gap between the humble Zeus and the great Helios."

"I'll give you a chance to stay in my Pantheon."

Looking at Dionysus, the god of wine, the smile on Helios' face disappeared, and he said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.

"Why don't you get out of here? There is no place for a loser like you in my Pantheon."
