Chapter 351: Help From the Elis Region

When it was close to noon, Procne and Philomela took twelve palace maids to bring the lunch that had just been prepared to the palace hall.

"Brother Roy!"

Hearing Philomela's enthusiastic call, Roy came back to his senses, smiled at Procne and Philomela and said.

"Didn't I let you have a few days of rest? You are not working as workers all year round. Now that I am back, you should have a good few days of fun and do what you want to do."

"We are not children anymore."

Procne pulled Philomela to Roy, and then the two sisters sat on the left and right sides of Roy.

"Brother Roy is working hard now, and we should do what we can for you."

Seeing that they had already cut their skirts into short skirts that barely covered their knees, Roy put his arms around their thin waists and said.

"You two are really my caring little cotton-padded jackets. I am looking forward to getting married to you more and more."

"Brother Roy is making us happy again."

Procne asked the twelve palace maids holding food to come over and fed the food they held to Roy while speaking.

"Brother Roy is really anxious to marry us. We have become your wives long ago, and maybe we are already pregnant with brother Roy's child."

"Sister, I believe brother Roy will really marry us this time."

Philomela said with a confident smile.

"After all, the wars in the Kingdom of Athens are over. Brother Roy has no reason to delay marrying us."

Procne said with her lips pursed.

"Even if the war in the Kingdom of Athens is over, it doesn't mean that brother Roy will not be involved in other wars."

"Procne, are you worried that our wedding will be postponed again?"

Roy held Procne and Philomela in his arms and said.

"Dear sister, I can promise you two in the name of the goddess Metis that no matter what happens, my marriage to you will not be postponed."

Hearing Roy's promise in the name of the goddess Metis, Procne smiled as if her conspiracy had succeeded.

At this moment, a palace guard ran into the palace hall and said.

"Your Majesty! There is a man outside who claims to be the envoy of King Oenomanos of Elis. He wants to enter the palace to discuss important matters with Your Majesty."

"The envoy of King Oenomanos of Elis——"

Loy said immediately, thinking that he had a beautiful daughter Hippodamia.

"Bring King Elis's messenger here!"

After a while.

A young nobleman with disheveled hair entered the hall and knelt directly in the center of the hall, begging.

"Great King Loy of Athens, please save our city of Olympia from the foreign invaders Mycenaeans. Our city of Olympia is willing to become a vassal of the Kingdom of Athens, and King Oenomanos of Elis will also take over the beautiful Hippo Princess Damia will marry you."

Upon hearing the messenger's words, Philomela immediately frowned and whispered.

"Brother Roy, let's not interfere in the war between these barbaric Thracians. If you get involved in the war again, your marriage to us will definitely be delayed."

Procne followed.

"Not only will our marriage be delayed, but brother Loy will have an extra princess by his side. After all, the envoy of King Oenomanos of Elis has said that they will dedicate Princess Hippodamia to Loy. Brother Yi.”

Thracian——

In a narrow sense, Thracians refer to the blond and blue-eyed Caucasian nomads in the north.

In a broad sense, the Mycenaeans and the Illyrians of the Ilis region were Thracians in the eyes of the Pilaskis.

Because Thracians is not an exclusive name for a certain ethnic group, but a name used by the Pilaskis for all barbarians.

The common characteristic of these barbarians [Thracians] is that they are not agricultural people.

As distant relatives of the Dorians, the Mycenaeans came to the Peloponnese Peninsula. Although they did not treat the Pilaskis in the Argos and Acadia regions as slaves, they also made them The conquering Pilaskis produced food, which the Mycenaeans, as the ruling class, were responsible for enjoying - just as they had in Egypt.

The Illyrians living in the Great Plains of Ilis and the Ahai region also lived a nomadic and hunting life.

Even if they had been neighbors with the Pilaskis for hundreds of years, they had not transformed into a farming people and wasted the fertile land of the Elis Plains.

Precisely because the Illyrians in the Ilis region are also barbarians [Thracians] in the eyes of the Pilasskis, Ares, the patron saint of the Ilis region, became a Thracian [barbarian]. Gods.

Later, with the evolution of history, Thracians became the exclusive name for the blond and blue-eyed nomads in the north. Ares, the patron saint of the barbarians [Thracians] in the Elis region, was also regarded as the northern Thracian. Human gods.

"You said the Mycenaeans were waging war against your region of Elis?"

Roy looked at the messenger with suspicion and said.

"The Mycenaeans conquered Arcadia a few months ago. Will they have enough soldiers to conquer your Elis region now?"

"What I said is true."

The messenger explained anxiously.

"Although after the Mycenaeans conquered the Arcadia region, they did not have the extra troops to expand. But not long ago, Perseus, the prince of the Mycenaeans, brought tens of thousands of Mycenaeans from distant Egypt of the same race.”

Perseus moved tens of thousands of Hyksos to the Peloponnese?

If the Mycenaeans increased their population by tens of thousands, it would be reasonable for them to launch a war against the Elis region.

"Emissary of Oenomaus! Even if what you said is true, I have no interest in interfering in the war between you Illyrians and Mycenaeans."

"Your Majesty, King of Athens, please reconsider."

The messenger pleaded in despair.

"Without your help, our Olympia will soon be occupied by the Mycenaeans."

"What good can I do for the Kingdom of Athens if I help you? Do you think that Oenomaus gave me his daughter, Princess Hippodamia, and that it is worth the Athenian soldiers risking their lives to protect the city of Olympia?"

After responding to the messenger, Roy ordered the two palace guards at the door of the hall.

"Drive this messenger away."

After the two palace guards followed Roy's order to drive the messenger away, Roy couldn't help but say.

"It seems that King Acrisius of Mycenae will die soon, and the peace between the Kingdom of Athens and the Mycenaeans will lose the guarantee of the sacred oath."

In the myth of another world, Acrisius died in the Olympic Games.

Now the Mycenaeans are besieging Olympia, the main city of Elis. When they occupy this city, they will definitely hold the famous Olympic Games as a competition to celebrate victory and sacrifice to the gods.

After Perseus killed Acrisius in this Olympic Games, he would bury Acrisius there.

Perhaps because of his guilt for his grandfather, Perseus will give up ruling the Elis region and let his cousin Pelops become the king of the city-state in the Elis region.

In the future, Pelops will conquer the Achae region and rule the entire Elis Plain.
