Chapter 363: Launching a War that Is Sure to Win

The bright sunlight poured into the Temple of Metis, and Roy woke up from his sleep.

Seeing Procne and Philomela lying on his left and right sides, with dark circles under their eyes from being tossed around until late at night, Roy sat up with some self-blame, trying to avoid making any noise that would wake them up from their sleep.

"Brother Roy..."

Just as Roy was getting dressed, Procne woke up, and she stood up and said, enduring fatigue and pain.

"It is the wife's responsibility to serve her husband, let me help you get dressed."

Hearing her sister's voice, Philomela also woke up.

"Brother Roy... Sister... I'll continue to sleep for a while..."

"Don't sleep!"

Procne pulled Philomela up and said.

"Now we are the wives of Brother Roy, and we must fulfill our responsibilities as wives."

"I have fallen in love with Brother Roy and am ready to give birth to a child for him! Let the maids take care of Brother Roy!"

"Procne, you and Philomela should continue to sleep for a while!"

Roy also said to Procne.

"I feel very distressed when I think of the hurt I caused you last night. If you don't want me to be sad, you and Philomela should get back to normal as soon as possible."

"Brother Roy..."

Looking at the sad expression on Roy's face, Procne lay down again and said.

"Then Philomela and I will sleep for a while."

Opening the door of the Temple of Metis and coming outside, Roy ordered the palace maids standing outside the door.

"Go in! When the two queens wake up, you must take good care of them."

After leaving Procne and Philomela to the care of the palace maids, Roy came to the palace hall of the Athens Palace alone.

Sitting on the golden throne and feeling it carefully, Roy closed his eyes and smiled.

"After becoming the husband of Procne and Philomela and making them pregnant, some changes really happened in my heart."

Although he had been tossing for more than eight hours last night and only slept for three hours, Roy's current state was unprecedentedly excited.

"What should I do to calm my overly excited spirit?"

In order to calm himself down and think, Roy took a pen and paper to write down his next plan.

Those nobles who were transformed into capitalists by him should all be arranged to run shops in the west of the Nile Delta.

After all, Roy's main purpose in transforming them into capitalists was to make them a model for the transformation of priest nobles in Egypt.

Seeing that the nobles of the Kingdom of Athens could still enjoy a wealthy life after becoming capitalists, the priest nobles in Egypt would not resolutely resist Roy's rule.

"If this plan goes smoothly, I can peacefully bring Egypt under the rule of the Kingdom of Athens and turn the Kingdom of Athens into the Athenian Empire with a population of millions. While this plan is going on, I should also fulfill my promise to Sister Hestia."

Roy has promised Perseus that he will not stop the Mycenaeans from conquering the Elis region.

After leaving Athens, Perseus will definitely go to Olympia to help the Mycenaeans conquer Olympia.

Then at the first Olympic Games held by the Mycenaeans to celebrate their victory, Perseus will accidentally kill the Mycenae king Acrisius and inherit the throne to become the new Mycenae king.

In the process of contacting Perseus, Roy has seen that Perseus cannot suppress his ambition.

Perseus is eager to replace Acrisius, and then he will lead the Mycenaeans to grow and develop.

So even if this world is different from another world, Perseus' fate of killing Acrisius will not change.

Once Acrisius died, the agreement between the Kingdom of Athens and the Mycenaeans would become invalid, and Roy could wage war against the Mycenaeans without any scruples.

"Since we have decided to wage war, we cannot just target the Argos region. We might as well take advantage of this opportunity to conquer the Argos, Arcadia, Sparta, and Pylos regions, so that the territory of the Kingdom of Athens can be increased to 80,000 square kilometers and the population can be increased to 800,000."

Roy did not want to wage war in the north of the Kingdom of Athens to conquer the Thracians, because the Thracians were an unproductive nomadic people.

The more Thracians Roy conquered, the more people Roy needed to feed.

The Argos, Arcadia, Sparta, and Pylos regions were all inhabited by farming Pelasgians.

Roy conquered these regions, not only did he not need to provide them with food, but he could also obtain food from these regions.

After making the decision to wage war, Roy immediately called Io and Callisto over.

A moment later.

Io and Callisto walked into the hall one after the other, and Roy spoke directly to them.

"Io! Callisto! I plan to gather two thousand elite soldiers using iron spears and three thousand auxiliary soldiers using bronze spears to launch a war against Argos and Arcadia to drive the Mycenaeans out of these two regions."

Io is the daughter of Inachus, King of Argos.

Callisto is the daughter of Lycaon, King of Arcadia.

The Mycenaeans conquered Argos and Arcadia, turning them both into princesses of a fallen country.

Now hearing Roy say that he would drive out the Mycenaeans, Io and Callisto showed excited expressions.

Yi'e was the first to calm down and said.

"Your Majesty! I dare not ask you to hand over the throne of Argos to me. I only hope that you can make the goddess Hestia the patron saint of Argos again. I am willing to be a maid by your side forever. Thank you. You saved the Argives from Mycenaean rule.”

"me too!

Callisto followed.

"Not long after the Mycenaeans conquered the Arcadia region, I am willing to use my identity as the princess of Arcadia to persuade the Arcadians to be loyal to the Kingdom of Athens. But I do not ask for the throne, I only ask that you let the goddess Artemis become the Patron Saint of Arcadia.”

"Since I want to use you to rule the Argos and Arcadia regions, I should reward you."

Roy said with a joking smile.

"Io! Callisto! As a former princess, don't you want me to marry you?"

Yi'e said with a wry smile.

"Of course I also want to be the wife who has a formal wedding with her husband under the witness of the gods and guests. But I know you don't love me, let alone have the idea of ​​marrying me, so why should I make impossible demands. "

Roy looked at Callisto, who said calmly.

"As a subjugated princess like a commoner, how dare she expect to marry the great King of Athens?"

Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"Seeing that none of you have undue ambitions, I will restore Hestia and Artemis to their status as patron saints of Argos and Arcadia, and make you priestesses serving the goddess. . But you are a princess after all, so I can’t let you marry another man, so you two can become my concubines!”
