I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 347 Negotiations Concluded and the War Ended

It was almost June, and the temperature at noon became very hot.

Just as Roy was about to have lunch with Hippolyta and Phyllis, Aeetes finally came to the camp of the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe and asked to continue yesterday's negotiations.

Roy and Hippolyta brought Phyllis to Aeetes, and Aeetes said directly.

"I agree with your request. I am willing to cede the Great Thracian Plain between the Great Plain of Macedonia and the Sea of ​​Marmara to the Amazon tribe to redeem my daughter Phyllis."

"Father..."

Although Phyllis expected that her father would do his best to redeem her, it was still unbelievable for Phyllis that her father really used tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in the Thracian region and tens of thousands of people from five large tribes to redeem her.

Hippolyta came back to her senses from the shock and immediately said to Aeetes.

"Then let us swear in the name of the gods that we will not start a war in the next year."

Aeetes nodded and said.

"I swear in the name of Helios, the sun god, that I will not wage war against the Amazon tribe in the next year."

"I swear in the name of Bendis, the moon goddess, that I will not wage war against the sun tribe in the next year."

After making the oath, Hippolyta asked Aeetes.

"King Aeetes! Now that we have all made an oath, when do you plan to hand over the Thracian region to me?"

"Give me three days to prepare, and you can take over the Thracian Plain in three days."

Hearing Aeetes' answer, Hippolyta smiled brightly and turned to Phyllis.

"Phyllis, you can go back to your father now."

Aeetes had made a sacred oath in the name of Helios, the sun god, and Hippolyta was not worried at all that Aeetes would violate his oath.

Phyllis walked to Aeetes in a hurry and immediately questioned Aeetes.

"Father, why did you accept their request?"

"Silly child, you became their captive to save me, do you think I don't know?"

Aeetes smiled.

"It is true that the Sun Tribe cannot defeat the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon Tribe now. Just take it as the price we pay for underestimating the enemy! One year later, I will take back everything we lost with my own hands."

Aeetes was willing to accept Roy and Hippolyta's request for a truce. The first main reason was for his daughter Phyllis, and the second main reason was that the Sun Tribe could not defeat the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon Tribe.

If this war continues, the losses of the Sun Tribe will become greater and greater.

After Aeetes left with Phyllis, Hippolyta looked at them with a serious face and said.

"Roy, will you still fight against the Sun Tribe with us in a year? The strength of the Sun Tribe is too strong. Even if all the knights of the Amazon Tribe use bronze weapons in a year, I still don't have a full grasp of defeating the Sun Tribe."

Roy shook his head without hesitation.

"I will not sacrifice the soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens to defend your Amazon tribe."

Roy is now fighting against the Sun Tribe with the Amazon Tribe because the main enemy of the Sun Tribe is actually the Kingdom of Athens.

The Sun Tribe only wants to surround the Amazon Tribe on three sides and force the Amazon Tribe to surrender to the Sun Tribe, and has no plan to directly go to war with the Amazon Tribe.

But now, the Amazon Tribe has become the main enemy of the Sun Tribe.

The war launched by the Sun Tribe against the Amazon Tribe a year later was to regain territory and population, not against the Kingdom of Athens.

"If I hire you with gold and cattle, sheep and horses, are you willing to defend the Amazon Tribe as a mercenary?"

"Land!"

Roy said with a smile.

"If you are willing to cede the central part of the Great Macedonian Plain to the Kingdom of Athens, I will fight for you as a mercenary."

Land--

Hearing Roy's request, Hippolyta couldn't help frowning.

In fact, not only the farming people care about the land, but the nomadic people also care about their land.

After all, more land can graze more cattle, sheep and horses and support more people.

"Roy..."

Hippolyta said with a pleading expression on her little face.

"I can give you more cattle, sheep, horses and gold, and I can also give myself to you to bear children for you. In the future, our children will be the next king of the Amazon."

"I'm not a fool!"

Roy shook his head again.

"If you become my woman, my children will be the heirs of the Amazon tribe, and taking care of the Amazon tribe will become my responsibility and obligation. So even if your beauty is worthy of the identity of the daughter of the moon goddess, I will not give up the land for you."

"You-you are such a ruthless man."

Hippolyta glared at Roy with a sad and dissatisfied look and continued.

"Thank you for helping me win this war. I will give you two thousand horses and ten thousand kilograms of gold as a reward."

Two thousand horses-

Ten thousand kilograms of gold-

Thinking that he could cast a pure gold throne and make many gold ornaments for the girls around him, Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"Dear Hippolyta, I look forward to our next cooperation."

The camp of the Sun Tribe.

Aeetes took Phyllis back to his royal tent and immediately asked Phyllis for various information about the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe.

"Father, I don't know much information."

Phyllis said while trying to remember.

"But I can confirm that the news about a gold mine in the Amazon tribe is true, because Sister Hippolyta is so luxurious that even the tableware is made of pure gold. The strength of the Kingdom of Athens seems to be stronger than we expected, Roy He said that he would sell 10,000 bronze weapons to the Amazon tribe within a year. It seems that the Kingdom of Athens can cast both sharp black iron weapons and bronze weapons."

"This time we lost the war because we did not have any understanding of the strength of the Kingdom of Athens."

Aeetes said with a sigh.

"If I had known that the black iron weapons of the Kingdom of Athens were so powerful, I would never have launched a war rashly. Phyllis! According to your observation, how is the relationship between Hippolyta and Roy?"

"Sister Hippolyta offered to marry Loy in order to get assistance from the Kingdom of Athens, but Loy did not accept it."

Upon hearing Phyllis' answer, Aeetes immediately said happily.

"In this era, only marriage can ensure that the alliance between the two parties is unbreakable. Since Roy and Hippolyta are not married, next year our enemy will only be Hippolyta. We will definitely be able to regain the lost territory and population."

"Father……"

Phyllis said with a hesitant expression.

"I want to ask you a question, do we Thracians always have a food shortage problem? We kill babies with weaker constitutions and wage wars between tribes. The essence is to reduce the population and reduce the need for food. needs?”
