I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 395: The Fisherman Benefits From the Quarrel Between the Snipe and the Clam

"That is - Helios, the sun god? Bendis, the moon goddess?"

On the human battlefield.

Roy looked up and saw the faces of the Etruscan sun god Jupiter and the moon goddess Minerva, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Although Roy had already guessed that the Etruscans were the natives of the Apennine Peninsula who were conquered by the Caucasus nomads, Roy still did not expect that the sun god Jupiter and the sun god Helios of Thracia Exactly the same, Minerva, the moon goddess, is exactly the same as Bendis, the moon goddess in Thrace.

It seems that the Caucasian nomads who conquered the Apennine Peninsula have the same ancestors as the Caucasian nomads in Thrace, so Jupiter and Minerva were the same gods as Helios and Bendis hundreds of years ago. .

As the branches of the Caucasian nomads came to dominate the Apennine Peninsula, Jupiter and Helios split from the same column of gods into brother gods, and Minerva and Bendis split from the same column of gods into sister gods.

From now on, the difference between Jupiter and Helios, and the gap between Minerva and Bendis, will become wider and wider.

In the history of another world, after two thousand years of evolution, Jupiter developed into the sky god king corresponding to Zeus, and the moon goddess Minerva also developed into the goddess of wisdom corresponding to Athena.

It can be seen from this that as long as time is long enough, gods with the same origin can be developed into two gods that no one can associate with each other.

"Are you Roy, the emperor of the Athenians?"

While Loy was observing Jupiter and Minerva, King Amlius of Etruria came to Loy and said angrily.

"You despicable guy, how did you destroy my five thousand knights? Now I have been completely angered by you. I want to kill you to avenge my people."

Roy withdrew his gaze from observing the gods, looked at Amlius with a smile and teased.

"It seems that you really care about your five thousand knights, so I will send you to the underworld to reunite with them! I believe that as long as you die, the Etruscans will lose all morale."

"Arrogant guy, I also believe that as long as I kill you, your Athenian soldiers will surrender to me."

After Amlius finished speaking angrily, he immediately brandished a bronze war spear and stabbed Roy.

Roy said while dodging Amlius' attack with ease.

"As expected of the darling of Jupiter, the sun god. Unlike Turenus and Metius, you are also a demigod hero [enemy of ten thousand people]. Unfortunately, there is also a huge gap in strength between demigod heroes and demigod heroes. , there is no way you can defeat me.”

After saying that, Roy waved his iron gun and launched a counterattack.

Facing the iron spear blade sweeping over him, Amlius could only avoid Roy's attack in embarrassment.

While Roy suppressed Amulius in the battle, the vanguard of the Athenian army also used sharp iron spears to launch a unilateral massacre of the Etruscan army's vanguard.

Although the vanguard of the Etruscan army were all brave and capable soldiers, their courage and strength could not make up for the gap in weapons.

Jupiter, Minerva, Mars, and Quirinus saw that the Etruscan army was at a disadvantage, and the four gods immediately wanted to help.

Just then, Persephone, Hera, and Luna arrived on the battlefield.

"It's finally here!"

Seeing the three goddesses of the Athenian Empire, Jupiter said coldly with no expression on his face.

"As long as I defeat you, I can help the Etruscans defeat the Athenians."

Quirinus accused Luna.

"Luna, how dare you stand with the foreign gods. Aren't you afraid that after the foreign gods are driven away, we will completely eliminate you?"

Luna said without showing any signs of weakness.

"You accuse me of siding with foreign gods. Aren't Jupiter and Minerva foreign gods? Before the Athenian Empire conquered the Apennine Peninsula, Mars was the patron saint of the Latins and Quirinus was the patron saint of the Sabines. You who were kicked off the throne by the Athenians certainly have reason to become mortal enemies with the Athenians. However, the arrival of the Athenians not only did no harm to a wandering god like me, but also gave me the opportunity to ascend the throne. Of course I must seize it. This opportunity to rise.”

After hearing Luna's rebuttal, Quirinus was immediately speechless.

Because the fact is just as Luna said, Mars and Quirinus were enemies of the Athenians only because their interests were harmed.

If the Athenians were willing to accept Mars and Quirinus and regard them as the patron gods of the Athenian Empire, Mars and Quirinus would be happy to accept it.

"Quirinus' accusation against Luna is indeed unreasonable."

With the emergence of new voices, Vesta, Janus, Neptune, Diana, and Venus descended on the battlefield.

Mars asked happily after seeing the five gods.

"Dear brothers! Dear sisters! Are you here to help us?"

"Not really!"

Vesta shook her head and said.

"If the Athenians are willing to accept us like they accepted Luna, we will help the Athenians. Now you both come up with your own conditions. Whichever side can give us greater benefits, we will choose which side to help."

After listening to Vesta's words, Minerva frowned and said.

"After this war is over, Brother Jupiter will build the Roman Pantheon. As long as you help me and Brother Jupiter, Brother Jupiter's Roman Pantheon will have your throne."

After listening to Minerva's words, Venus excitedly said to Persephone and Hera.

"Goddess Minerva has stated her conditions, now it's your turn."

Persephone and Hera looked at each other, and then Persephone said with a bright smile.

"In the future, the Apennine Peninsula will be the territory of Hera and me. I can promise you the throne and make you subordinate gods of Hera and me."

Persephone and Hera's conditions were not to make them independent patron gods with territories.

Vesta, Janus, Neptune, Diana, and Venus first showed disappointment, and then looked at Jupiter and Minerva, hoping that they could give better conditions.

In order to win the support of these five gods, Jupiter forced a smile and said.

"After driving away the Athenians, I will divide the territories for the gods, so that all of you have a territory of more than 10,000 square kilometers."

Hearing Jupiter's words, the five gods almost shouted in anger.

At this moment, Roy said loudly while fighting with Amulius.

"No matter how good the conditions are, they must be fulfilled to attract people. If the Etruscans lose to us Athenians, Jupiter will not be able to fulfill the conditions no matter how good they are."

After hearing Roy's words, the five gods calmed down.

Diana looked at Roy and asked.

"Can you Athenians give better conditions?"

"Better conditions?"

Roy said with a playful smile.

"If you choose to join the Athenian Empire, even if you are given 100,000 square kilometers of territory, it is no problem. But I can only accept the goddess Vesta, the goddess Diana and the goddess Venus, I will not accept the god of the sea Neptune and the god of the door Janus."

If they don't mind the desert of North Africa, even if they want 200,000 square kilometers of territory, Roy can agree without hesitation.
