Chapter 345 Hippolyta Wants to Marry Me

Aeetes obviously valued his daughter Phyllis very much. As soon as the war at the foot of the Eastern Rhodope Mountains ended, Aeetes sent a messenger to redeem her daughter Phyllis.

Loy and Hippolyta asked the envoy to negotiate with Aeetes in person, and the envoy soon brought Aeetes' reply - Aeetes agreed to negotiate in person.

When night falls.

A bonfire was lit outside the joint camp of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe. Roy, Hippolyta and Phyllis were waiting beside the bonfire.

Not long after, Aeetes came to the campfire alone on a white horse.

"Phyllis——"

Seeing Phyllis sitting with Loy and Hippolyta, Aeetes immediately jumped off the horse in excitement.

Seeing that Aeetes wanted to get close to Phyllis, Roy reminded Aeetes.

"Aeetes, you can't get close to your daughter Phyllis until we reach a negotiation. If you find an opportunity to snatch Phyllis away, we will lose the leverage to negotiate with you."

After saying that, Roy put his left hand on Felice's beautiful neck.

It seems to be hinting to Aeetes that if he dares to approach Phyllis without permission, Roy will take Phyllis' life.

Aeetes could only stop approaching Phyllis and asked Roy and Hippolyta with a cold face.

"How much ransom do you want me to pay to return Phyllis to me?"

"Aeetes, if you want us to return Phyllis to you, you must agree to two requirements."

Hippolyta said with a smile.

"Our first request is that you end this war. Our second request is that you cede the five large tribes in the western part of the Sea of ​​Marmara and their territories to the Amazon tribes."

"This is impossible!"

After hearing what Hippolyta said, Aeetes refused without hesitation.

"I agree to end this war, but I will not cede my territory and people to the Amazon tribe in humiliation. If I accept this humiliating request, will other tribes in Thrace surrender to the Sun Tribe?"

"Father, please give up this burden on me."

Phyllis also said firmly at this time.

"They asked you to exchange tens of thousands of square kilometers of territory and more than 50,000 people for me. You must not agree to this request."

"Phyllis..."

Aeetes looked at Phyllis with a distressed look, then looked at Hippolyta with a fierce expression and threatened.

"Hippolyta, you heard what my daughter said. You actually want to use Phyllis to take away the territory and population of our Sun Tribe. Do you really think that the strength of the Amazon Tribe can compete with the Sun Tribe? If it weren't for King Roy of Athens, And his soldiers, your Amazon tribe is no match for our Sun tribe."

Facing the threat from Aeetes, Hippolyta was immediately shaken.

As Aeetes said, the tribes of the Amazons were weaker than the tribes of the Sun.

When the cooperation between the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe ends, the Sun tribe will be able to completely eliminate the Amazon tribe, let alone defeat it.

Maybe it would be a wise choice to accept it as soon as possible.

At this moment, Roy said with a smile.

"Aeetes, since you think that the Sun Tribe is far more powerful than the Amazon Tribe, why don't you accept our request for the sake of your daughter first, and then take back the lost territory and population later? Did you just lie? , you don’t think the Sun Tribe can defeat the Amazon Tribe?”

"Of course I didn't lie. The Sun Tribe is the strongest tribe in Thrace."

"Then why don't you dare to accept our request? Although we will ask you not to attack the Amazon tribe again, we will give you a short time limit. One year - we only ask that you cannot attack the Amazon tribe within one year. Wait until After a year, you can wage war against the Amazon tribes and regain your lost territory and population."

After Roy finished speaking, Hippolyta immediately said anxiously.

"Roy, you haven't discussed it with me yet—"

Before Hippolyta could finish her words, Roy interrupted Hippolyta and continued.

"Aeetes! I'll give you one night to think about it. Now let's return to our respective military camps!"

After saying that, Roy stood up and pulled Hippolyta and Phyllis away.

After watching Roy and the others leave, Aeetes immediately rode his white horse back to the Sun Tribe's camp.

Hippolyta's royal tent.

Roy, Hippolyta, and Phyllis returned here, and Hippolyta said dissatisfiedly while taking off her helmet.

"Roy, why did you set the truce between us and the Sun Tribe to be one year? After only one year of truce, it is impossible for our Amazon tribe to develop enough strength to compete with the Sun Tribe. Could it be that after one year, your Kingdom of Athens will Will you continue to fight against the Sun Tribe with us?"

"Hippolyta, you underestimate the potential of the Amazon tribe."

Roy said confidently.

"If the Kingdom of Athens sells you 10,000 bronze war spears in one year, and you have tens of thousands of knights using bronze war spears in a year, do you still not have the confidence to fight against the Sun Tribe?"

"Ten thousand bronze war spears——"

Hippolyta's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but take a deep breath and said.

"If our Amazon tribe has tens of thousands of knights using bronze spears in a year, I will be confident that we can defeat the Sun Tribe even without the help of the Kingdom of Athens."

"You really underestimate our Sun Tribe."

Phyllis suddenly sneered and said.

"Now our Sun Tribe has mastered the technology of smelting bronze and discovered the copper mines in our territory. Half of the bronze war spears used by our Sun Tribe knights were made by our Sun Tribe ourselves. They will be available for purchase by the Amazon Tribe in a year. Ten thousand bronze war spears, but our Sun Tribe will make more bronze war spears.”

"You are actually able to make your own bronze weapons——"

Hippolyta glanced at Phyllis with wide eyes, and then said to Roy.

"Loy, sell me the black iron weapons of your Kingdom of Athens. As long as all the knights of the Amazon tribe use black iron weapons, I will be able to defeat the Sun Tribe with full confidence."

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Hippolyta, I have told you long ago that black iron weapons are the monopoly weapons of the Kingdom of Athens. Even if the Amazon tribe is now an ally of the Kingdom of Athens, I will not sell black iron weapons to you."

"If I marry you and let you rule the Amazon tribe with me, will you be willing to sell me black iron weapons?"

Looking at Hippolyta's big eyes full of expectation, Roy shook his head and said.

"Even if we get married, I will not sell you black iron weapons. Because I am the king of the Kingdom of Athens. For me, the most important thing is the interests of the Kingdom of Athens. Only the Amazon tribe becomes the territory of the Kingdom of Athens. I I will sell you the black iron weapon."

"You want to annex our Amazon tribe—"

"Unless the Amazon tribe becomes part of the Kingdom of Athens, I will just be a tool husband who helps you give birth to children."

Roy said very frankly.

"Hippolyta! If you are willing to let the Amazon tribe become part of the Kingdom of Athens and change from a nomadic people to an agricultural people, I will sell you black iron weapons."
