Chapter 364: Another War of Dimensionality Reduction

Argos, Arcadia, Sparta, and Pylos are all backward areas with no gold or silver mines, let alone copper mines.

Although there are coal mines in Arcadia and iron mines in Sparta, no one conquered both Arcadia and Sparta at the same time in this era, and then used the coal mines in Arcadia to smelt Sparta. iron ore in the area.

In the history of another world, the Dorians conquered the Peloponnese Peninsula, but chose to settle in the Spartan region instead of the agriculturally developed Pylos region, apparently to control the iron mines in the Spartan region.

Because the Dorians were the overlords of the Peloponnese, they could use the coal mines in Arcadia to smelt the iron ore in Sparta.

In this era, it is impossible for all soldiers in the Argos, Arcadia, Sparta, and Pylos regions to use bronze weapons. The Kingdom of Athens, which has already used a large number of iron weapons, launched a war against these regions. Naturally, it was a dimensionality reduction strike that could sweep these four areas into the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

In the process of gathering five thousand troops to gather in the city of Athens, Roy would be in close contact with Procne and Philomela every night.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of Roy's wedding.

Royal Palace of Athens.

Roy was sitting on the golden throne in the palace hall, diligently handling government affairs, when Hippolyta and Phyllis suddenly walked into the hall.

Seeing the two figures, Roy put down the pen and paper in his hand and said.

"Queen Hippolyta! Princess Phyllis! Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"We want to buy iron weapons and food, will you sell them to us?"

Hippolyta said, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Because you refused to sell us the most important thing, Phyllis and I planned to leave."

Phyllis followed.

"We are all leaving. Are you really not considering selling us some iron weapons and food?"

Roy explained helplessly.

"Queen Hippolyta! Princess Phyllis! I have told you many times that the weapons of the Kingdom of Athens cannot be exported. Although food is not for sale in the Kingdom of Athens, whether the food of the Kingdom of Athens can feed the population of the Kingdom of Athens is also a question. . Before the food of the Kingdom of Athens is rich enough to be exported, I will not sell the food of the Kingdom of Athens, because for me, it is my greatest responsibility as the king of Athens to not let anyone in the Kingdom of Athens suffer from hunger.”

After hearing Roy's explanation, Hippolyta smiled with a complicated expression.

"Although you make me a little dissatisfied as a man, you are impeccable as a king. I sincerely hope that you can rule our Amazon tribe just like you rule the Kingdom of Athens."

"I have enough food to feed the Amazon tribe for a year. I will definitely conquer the Amazon tribe and turn you, the Amazon Queen, into my trophy."

"As long as you are willing to marry me, I can surrender to you directly. You are not needed to conquer our Amazon tribe."

Because I not only want to conquer your Amazon tribe, but also transform the Amazon tribe into a farming nation!

If Roy doesn't make any changes to the Amazon tribe, Roy can become the king of the Amazons who rules over the Amazon tribe as long as he conquers Hippolyta.

But Roy changed the Amazon tribe from a nomadic people to a farming people, and everyone in the Amazon tribe was affected.

Without Athenian soldiers putting gun blades on the necks of everyone in the Amazon tribe, even if Hippolyta gave the order as queen, they would not be able to be transformed into a farming nation by Roy.

"Queen Hippolyta! Princess Phyllis! I will arrange a ship for you to send your purchases to the port of the Amazon tribe. I hope I can see you among the guests when I get married next month. "

It's the tenth day of July.

Two thousand elite soldiers with iron spears and three thousand soldiers with bronze spears all came to the city of Athens.

night.

Roy stayed close to Procne and Philomela until late at night, and then hugged the two of them and said.

"Good sisters! Although we are only on the tenth day of marriage, I am leaving you again."

Procne and Philomela held Roy's arms on the left and right. Procne put her head on Roy's shoulder and smiled bitterly.

"The great King of Athens is either on the battlefield or on his way to the battlefield. Brother Roy can stay with us for ten days, how can we be dissatisfied."

"Your words are sour and sound very dissatisfied."

"Ah wu——"

Philomela gently bit Roy's shoulder and said.

"If Brother Roy cares about our feelings, just keep us with you!"

"no!"

Roy refused immediately.

"You two must stay and manage the city of Athens for me. I want to issue large and small silver coins as legal tender in the Kingdom of Athens. The purchasing power of a large silver coin is fifty catties of grain, and the purchasing power of a small silver coin is five catties of grain. Wait until the Kingdom of Athens fully enters In the Iron Age, I will also introduce copper coins with the purchasing power of a pound of grain. Procne! Philomela! You must manage the large silver mine in Lavrio and let our craftsmen cast the silver produced by the large silver mine. After obtaining qualified silver coins, I will then distribute silver coins as wages to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens, so that the soldiers and their families can use the silver coins to purchase various daily necessities.”

"knew!"

"After we got married to brother Roy, it seemed that our life was no different from our original life."

After hearing Philomela's words, Roy put his left hand on her belly and said.

"Perhaps our child is being conceived here! If you think this is not a difference, then I will only love Procne from now on."

"no!"

Philomela immediately said coquettishly.

"I want to give birth to Brother Roy's child with my sister. Brother Roy will give me as much love as he gives to my sister."

After saying that, Philomela began to take the initiative to attack Roy.

It wasn't until the sun rose that I fell asleep tiredly.

Roy left Procne and Philomela with reluctance, and left the city of Athens with Io and Callisto with an army of five thousand.

Port of Piraeus.

When Roy boarded the ship here with five thousand troops, Hippodamia suddenly appeared in front of Roy.

"Princess Hippodamia, you haven't left yet?"

Looking at Roy's surprised expression, Hippodamia explained calmly.

"I originally planned to leave, but when I saw you gathering an army in the city of Athens, I stayed. King of Athens! I heard that you were going to conquer the Argos and Arcadia regions. Please bring us to Elis. Let's conquer together! As the princess of Elis, I will order all the people in the Elis area to be loyal to the Kingdom of Athens. And I am willing to be your concubine just like Io and Callisto, even if you let me be your maid. That’s fine too.”

Roy said helplessly.

"You'd better think about it again! My conquest of the Ilis region will not only drive your father Oenomanus from the throne, but also push Ares, the god of war, from his throne as the patron saint of Ilis."
