I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 196 You Owe Me For Saving Your Life
Even if Roy suddenly killed Sisyphus and occupied the city of Corinth, Amphitrite did not feel angry with Roy.

Because if Roy did not assist the city of Corinth, the city of Corinth would have already been conquered by the Mycenaeans, and Amphitrite would also be humiliated by the Mycenaean gods Zeus and Poseidon.

Now hearing Roy say that the Corinth Canal will be dug, Amphitrite said with a sigh.

"Would you like to be my priest?"

In this era, Roy can become the king who rules many cities, but Roy cannot serve as other priests at the same time.

In other words, Amphitrite wanted Roy to give up her status as a Metis priest and become her priest.

"Goddess Amphitrite, it is impossible for me to betray Goddess Metis."

"Then how can I trust you and let you hold the highest power in Corinth City?"

Amphitrite said with a helpless wry smile.

"If you can convince me to trust you, I will not interfere with your fight with Glaucus."

"I love you--"

Roy hesitated for a moment, then said to Amphitrite affectionately.

"From the first moment I saw you, I was deeply infatuated with you and dreamed of having you as my wife. Because I love you so much, I would never do anything to hurt you. "

After hearing Roy's confession, Amphitrite looked into Roy's eyes in surprise.

Roy's eyes were indeed full of longing for her, which made Amphitrite somewhat believe Roy's words.

"If you really love me as much as you love a woman, then you may not hurt me, but it is impossible for me to be with you."

"Of course I understand the gap between humans and gods, so I won't have any undue thoughts about you. I just want to use my wisdom to develop Corinth City, so that your divine power and status will improve with the development of Corinth City. "

Amphitrite showed a shaken expression, looked at Glaucus and said.

"If you can promise not to kill Glaucus, I will trust you."

"I promise to only drive out Glaucus, never kill him."

Hearing Roy's assurance, Amphitrite's body turned into a blue light and flew back into the Aegean Sea.

After watching Amphitrite leave, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Amphitrite really intervenes in today's affairs, she can not only give Glaucus the blessing of divine power to improve his strength, but also take back the blessing and divine power bestowed on Roy, so that Roy's strength can be changed from the great hero [A Thousand Enemies] ] Transform back into a hero [Hundred Enemies].

At that time, Roy's capture of Corinth City will inevitably fail, and he can only escape from Corinth City in embarrassment.

Looking at the Acropolis of Corinth, seeing Glaucus standing at the gate of the Acropolis, staring at himself with extremely angry eyes, Roy brandished a bronze spear and rushed towards the Acropolis of Corinth.

When he came to the wooden gate of the Acropolis Mountain Gate, Roy ignored the spear blades stabbed by Glaucus and a group of soldiers, and slammed his body directly into the fence gate.

bang bang bang bang-

Because Roy has the blessing of Amphitrite [copper skin and iron bones], the attacks of Glaucus and ordinary soldiers fell on Roy, and even the bronze spear blade could not stab Roy's body.

Under the impact of Roy's great hero [Enemy of Thousands], the wooden fence gate of the Acropolis Mountain Gate was directly smashed by Roy, and Glaucus and dozens of soldiers blocked behind the door were also smashed by Roy's power to the ground.

Walking into the Acropolis of Corinth by stepping on the fragments of the wooden fence gate, Roy pointed the blade of his spear at Glaucus and said.

"Glaucus, stop making stupid resistance, I will let you go for the sake of the goddess Amphitrite."

Glaucus got up from the ground, looked at Roy's gritted teeth and said angrily.

"I really regret that I didn't remind my father to be careful of you, an ambitious man who robbed his father-in-law's family property. Since I can't beat you, bastard, you can kill as much as you want. I don't need your pity."

Looking at Glaucus, who was full of hatred for him, Roy joked with a smile.

"Glaucus, have you made a mistake? Without my assistance to Corinth, you and Sisyphus would have been killed by the Mycenaeans long ago, and Corinth would have been conquered by the Mycenaeans long ago. I saved You father and son, the benefactors who saved the city of Corinth, are able to live until now because of me. Even if I kill Sisyphus now, you still owe me a life-saving grace, so you have no right to hate me."

"you--"

Glaucus glared at Roy angrily, but couldn't refute.

Because Roy is indeed the benefactor who saved Sisyphus and Glaucus and the city of Corinth.

"Since you said that I owe you the grace of saving my life, I will give it back to you now."

Seeing that Glaucus wanted to commit suicide with the spear in his hand, Roy grabbed the body of Glaucus's war spear with his left hand, and then persuaded him.

"Glaucus, if you die like this, how will your wife and children survive? I am not trying to wipe out your family. I allow you to leave with your family members, property, and those who are willing to follow you Corinth City."

"You won't kill me—don't you worry about my taking back Corinth?"

"If I can't let the people of Corinth live a better life, I also hope that you can take back the city of Corinth from me. If I can make the people of Corinth live a better life, even if I leave the city of Corinth alone, the people of Corinth will not Will not support you as king of Corinth."

Looking at Roy with a confident expression, Glaucus felt aggrieved.

It's fine if he can't beat Roy, but he still owes Roy a life-saving grace, so he can't justly take revenge on Roy.

"Loy! I can leave Corinth City according to your request, but from now on, I will no longer owe you the grace of saving my life, nor will I declare war on you in the name of avenging my father. When your rule makes the Corinthians When the water is in dire straits, I will come to rescue the people of Corinth, and let the city of Corinth return to the rule of our family."

"According to what you said, you will no longer owe me life-saving grace in the future."

After Roy accepted Glaucus' request, Glaucus looked at the surrounding soldiers and said.

"Companions! I will leave Corinth with my family and property. Which of you is willing to follow me?"

The palace soldiers were basically brought up by Sisyphus, at this time they walked to Glaucus without hesitation.

The ordinary soldiers hesitated, and only a few dozen chose to follow Glaucus.

In the end, Glaucus's followers were only three hundred soldiers.

Lowe was not surprised by this result.

The ruler of this era, who can prevent people from starving to death in his territory, is already a virtuous king praised by everyone.

It is impossible for their rule to make the people abandon everything to follow them.

When encountering foreign invasion, the local people will unite with the ruler, not because they support the ruler, but because in this era, when foreign invaders conquer the local people, they will not only rob the food and starve the local people to death, but also rob The wives and daughters of the locals, subjecting the beloved wives and daughters of the locals to all kinds of humiliation.

Sisyphus and Glaucus were clearly not rulers that the average Corinthian would want to follow.
