Chapter 336: Reasons for Fighting the Sun Tribe

The royal tent of the Amazon tribe.

After Roy and Hippolyta sat down at the guest and host positions respectively, they saw the table full of pure gold bowls and plates, and even the forks and spoons were pure gold tableware. Roy's heart was once again filled with emotion.

This is the luxurious life of owning a super large gold mine--

While Hippolyta's servants brought barbecue, fruit, wine and other food, Roy took the initiative to say to Hippolyta.

"Queen Hippolyta, do you really want to join forces with our Kingdom of Athens to deal with the Sun Tribe? I think the target of the Sun Tribe should only be our Kingdom of Athens."

"What good will it do for the Sun Tribe to deal with your Kingdom of Athens?"

Hippolyta smiled confidently.

"Even if the Sun Tribe's target is really only the Kingdom of Athens, I can't tolerate the appearance of a vassal tribe of the Sun Tribe to the west of the Amazon Tribe, surrounding our Amazon Tribe on three sides."

The south of the Amazon Tribe is the Aegean Sea, and the east and north are the territories of the Sun Tribe.

If even the west of the Amazon tribe becomes the territory of the Sun Tribe and is surrounded on three sides by the Sun Tribe, the Amazon tribe will have to truly submit to the Sun Tribe and become a vassal controlled by the Sun Tribe.

So even if the Sun Tribe's target is really just the Kingdom of Athens, Hippolyta cannot tolerate the Sun Tribe controlling the west of the Macedonian Plain.

Since the Amazon tribe has sufficient reasons to join forces with the Kingdom of Athens to deal with the Sun Tribe, Roy said with a bright smile.

"Queen Hippolyta! The Sun Tribe is undoubtedly our common enemy. How do you think we should deal with the Sun Tribe? Because of the rush of time, our Kingdom of Athens cannot gather more soldiers. I can only take 1,500 iron spearmen into battle."

"That's enough."

Hippolyta said with a smile.

"If you have too many soldiers, others will think that it was the Kingdom of Athens that defeated the Sun Tribe, not our Amazon Tribe. Your Majesty, the King of Athens! With the help of your Kingdom of Athens, I am very confident that I can defeat the Sun Tribe, so let's talk about the division of spoils now! After we defeat the Sun Tribe, I plan to conquer the land west of the Sea of ​​Marmara, so that our Amazon Tribe can own the port of the Black Sea and control the Dardanelles and the Bosporus."

The expansion of the Amazon Tribe's power to the Sea of ​​Marmara is equivalent to increasing the territory controlled by the Amazon Tribe by half, and Hippolyta has changed from the Queen of Ten Cities to the Queen of Fifteen Cities.

More importantly, the Amazon Tribe controls the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, and can control the sea routes of the Black Sea World and the Mediterranean World.

In the era 3,600 years later, the Husky Kingdom turned the Black Sea Fleet of the overbearing Rakshasa Kingdom into an Inland Lake Fleet because it controlled the Dardanelles and the Bosporus.

By defeating the Sun Tribe, the Amazon Tribe will gain such huge benefits, what can the Kingdom of Athens gain?

"Queen Hippolyta! What spoils will our Kingdom of Athens get after defeating the Sun Tribe?"

"I'll give you a thousand horses and ten thousand pounds of gold as spoils - what do you think?"

A thousand horses?

Ten thousand pounds of gold?

Are you treating me like a hired mercenary?

Although Roy was dissatisfied with the distribution of spoils, he couldn't object.

Because the Kingdom of Athens simply didn't have enough people to migrate to the Thrace region to control the Dardanelles or the Bosporus.

In order to ease his depressed mood, Roy looked at Hippolyta's graceful figure and changed the subject.

"Queen Hippolyta, I have a question for you. You will become the queen of the Amazon tribe because the Amazon tribe, which worships the moon goddess Bendis, has a tradition of letting princesses inherit the throne?"

"No!"

Hippolyta shook her head and said.

"It was a coincidence that I became the queen of the Amazon tribe! Before me, all the leaders of the Amazon tribe were men. When my father became the king of the Amazon, all my brothers died young, so I inherited the throne and became the queen."

"Do you have a husband now?"

"Although I am eighteen years old, I still don't have a husband, because my husband must be a stronger man than me."

Thinking of the battle she lost to Roy, Hippolyta blushed and looked at Roy with burning eyes.

"Why do you care whether I have a husband? If you want to be my husband, I recognize that you are qualified to propose to me, because you have defeated me before, and you are a stronger man than me."

Propose to Hippolyta-

Thinking of the many girls around him, Roy could only smile bitterly.

"Queen Hippolyta! If we could have met earlier, I would have pursued you, because you are as beautiful, noble and powerful as a goddess. But I already have a fiancée, and I believe you don't want to serve the same husband as other girls."

"You are right!"

Knowing that Roy already had a fiancée, Hippolyta smiled bitterly with a lost expression.

"It seems that I want to marry a husband who is more powerful than me - this condition may make me unmarried for the rest of my life."

After Hippolyta's servants brought all the grilled meat, fruits, wine and other foods to the table, Roy and Hippolyta enjoyed the food with pure gold tableware while exchanging various situations between the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe.

Knowing that the Kingdom of Athens had white salt, grain, bronze, olive oil and other commodities, Hippolyta stared at Roy with greedy eyes like a female leopard staring at prey.

"King of Athens, your Kingdom of Athens is so rich. Almost all the commodities in your Kingdom of Athens are what we need. I want to use gold to buy your white salt, bronze, grain, olive oil and other commodities. Are you willing to sell them to us?"

"What's the use of so much gold?"

Roy said helplessly.

"Queen Hippolyta! I told you a long time ago that in this era of barter, gold can neither be eaten nor made into weapons or farm tools. If you are willing to use cattle, sheep, horses or wool as an exchange, our Kingdom of Athens can trade with the Amazon tribe."

Roy certainly knew that the Kingdom of Athens trading white salt, grain and bronze with the Amazon tribe might make the Amazon tribe stronger.

When the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe become enemies, the Amazon tribe will be a stronger enemy than it is now.

But the Amazon tribe has gold mines. Even if the Kingdom of Athens does not trade with the Amazon tribe, there will be other merchants who sell goods to the Amazon tribe in exchange for their gold.

Since we can't stop the Amazon tribe from trading with other merchants, it's better to let the Kingdom of Athens use these goods to exchange for the Amazon tribe's cattle, sheep, horses and other goods, so that the Amazon tribe can form a trade dependence on the Kingdom of Athens.

Hippolyta nodded in agreement.

"You are right, then we will trade with cattle, sheep, horses and other goods! But you have to give us a reasonable price and can't lower the price of our goods."
