I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 500 I Want to Die with You

In the Mycenaean Kingdom established by Perseus, Poseidon, Hades, Ares, and Hermes also have the status of city-state patron gods.

Poseidon and Hades are powerful patron gods with 20,000 square kilometers and 100,000 people respectively, and Ares and Hermes are also patron gods with 10,000 square kilometers and 50,000 people respectively.

Judging from the surface data, their combined strength should be far superior to Mnemosyne and Amphitrite.

But in fact, the Illyrians they guard are still in the Stone Age, and the territories of Mnemosyne and Amphitrite have entered the Iron Age.

With such a huge gap in civilization, even if Poseidon, Hades, Ares, and Hermes join forces, they can't beat the dimensionality reduction attack of Mnemosyne and Amphitrite.

So when Amphitrite heard Mnemosyne's inquiry, she said without hesitation.

"I'll take care of them by myself."

After saying that, Amphitrite summoned the silver trident and rushed into the encirclement of Poseidon, Hades, Ares, and Hermes like a whirlwind.

Amphitrite fought the four male gods alone, and Metis was also fighting one-on-one with Zeus's mother Dione.

Mnemosyne looked down at Roy and asked.

"Do you need my help?"

Roy was already fighting with Perseus at this time.

Hearing Mnemosyne's question, Roy refused without hesitation.

"No need!"

Although Perseus is now stronger than Perseus a year ago and is already a demigod hero worthy of Roy's serious attack, his strength is still significantly different from Roy.

In this case, Roy will certainly not accept Mnemosyne's help, which will make the gap between his strength and Perseus even greater.

Because Roy has decided to make Perseus the enemy who kills him.

In order to make it very reasonable for Perseus to kill him, Roy has deliberately suppressed his own strength, so that he and Perseus can fight to a draw.

"Perseus, you are indeed stronger now."

Roy teased him while fighting with Perseus.

"Maybe the two of us can fight to the death."

"I don't want to die with you."

Perseus said with disgust.

"I still have a good life to enjoy, so I won't let myself be killed by you."

"What a pity! Your fate is not determined by you, but by me."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Perseus's honorary Mycenae soldiers began to collapse and flee.

Some honorary Mycenae soldiers ran to Roy and Perseus in a panic. After separating Roy and Perseus, Perseus sneered and said to Roy.

"Is this also the fate you decided?"

After speaking, Perseus turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Because he was surrounded by the Honorary Mycenae soldiers, Roy could only watch Perseus escape.

"You guys--"

Looking at the Honorary Mycenaeans who surrounded him, Roy could only shout helplessly.

"Surrender and you will not be killed! All lay down your weapons and surrender!"

Under Roy's intimidation, the Honorary Mycenae soldiers surrendered one after another.

These Honorary Mycenaeans were originally Illyrians.

Since they were able to surrender to Perseus and the Mycenaeans and become accomplices of the Mycenaeans to rule the Illyrians, they certainly would not sacrifice their lives for Perseus now.

After the war, 30,000 of Perseus' Honorary Mycenae soldiers became Roy's captives.

Perseus fled from Dodona with more than 10,000 soldiers.

Although defeating Perseus was an inevitable result, the process was so simple that Roy felt a little dissatisfied.

Because Roy wanted to fight a war of equal strength with Perseus and die with Perseus reasonably.

After the war between humans ended, Zeus's mother Dione looked at the Temple of Dione in Dodona City with reluctance, and then ordered Poseidon, Hades, Ares, and Hermes.

"It's time for us to go!"

After that, Zeus's mother Dione took the initiative to end the battle with Metis, turned into a golden divine light and flew to the northern Albania region.

Poseidon, Hades, Ares, and Hermes also ended the battle with Amphitrite and chased Dione to the north.

Seeing Dione decisively abandoning Dodona City, Roy immediately ordered the Athenian soldiers to rush into Dodona City and destroy the Temple of Dione in Dodona City.

After leaving 5,000 Athenian soldiers to manage 30,000 prisoners, Roy led 15,000 Athenian soldiers to chase Perseus' army into the Albania region.

Under Roy's pursuit, Perseus did not stay in the Albania region and continued to flee to the northern Bosnia and Herzegovina region.

Roy left 5,000 soldiers to take over the Albania region, and then continued to chase Perseus.

When Perseus fled to Croatia, Roy had to give up chasing Perseus in Bosnia.

Because Perseus had 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry in Croatia.

Even if Roy gave up occupying Bosnia, it would be difficult for Roy to defeat Perseus's 60,000 troops with 10,000 Athenian soldiers.

After leaving 10,000 Athenian soldiers to take over Bosnia, Roy left Bosnia alone and went to the Macedonian Plain in the north of the Athenian Empire.

Macedonian Plain.

This area was ruled jointly by the Athenian Empire and the Thracian Amazon tribes.

Now in the western area of ​​the Macedonian plain, there are 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry from the Athenian Empire gathered.

The supreme commander of this 50,000-strong army is Roy's cheap uncle--Procne and Philomela's brother Erechtheus.

When Roy arrived at the Athenian military camp on the Macedonian Plain, materials from the Athenian Empire were still being delivered in a steady stream.

The Illyrians were different from the Thracians.

The Illyrians were a semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian people, plus they were enslaved by the Mycenaeans.

Roy led the Athenian soldiers to drive away Perseus and the Mycenaeans. He only needed to use the policies of the Athenian Empire to bring a better life to the Illyrians, so that the Illyrians could obey the rule of the Athenian Empire.

The Thracians were completely nomadic.

If the Athenian Empire wanted to conquer the Thracians and establish a stable rule, it would inevitably use a large amount of materials to support the Thracians until the Thracians transformed into a farming nation.

If Roy doesn't want to support the Thracians -

Then the Thracians can only be expelled, eliminated or reduced to slaves, and then immigrants from the Athenian Empire can be used to reclaim the fertile plains where the Thracians live.

Athenian military camp.

Roy walked into the military camp and saw Erechtheus training with a cavalry team.

Loy couldn't help but frown when he saw the cavalry trained by Erechtheus obeying orders and the soldiers also respected and admired Erechtheus.

Although Erechtheus was not a qualified king, he undoubtedly had the charisma of a hero.

If he were not his cheap brother-in-law, Roy would never let him become the commander of 20,000 iron lancers and 30,000 armored infantry.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty re-employed Wei Qing and Huo Qubing——"

Loy sighed when Erechtheus saw Loy and rode towards Loy.

"Sure enough, it's not because they are capable, but because they are not only capable, but also trustworthy."
