Chapter 204 Armistice Can Be Collected Tolls

Although Minos [Deucalion] could copy the fire attack that Roy used against him, he couldn't copy the paper armor, so the Knossos soldiers of Minos and Donia of Radamandes Not only the number of soldiers is the same, but the equipment is also the same.

While Minos and Radamandis were fighting to the death, Knossos soldiers and Donian soldiers were also fighting to the death.

This war has become a war of attrition.

Over time, the number of Knossos and Donian soldiers dwindled.

Pandora and Europa were fighting while observing the situation on the battlefield.

When the casualties of Knossos soldiers reached 1000, Europa took the initiative to tell Pandora.

"Pandora, if we continue to fight like this, both of us will suffer or even die together."

"If you want to end this war, you must accept my request."

Pandora said with a smile.

"The city of Donia has been suppressed by the city of Knossos for hundreds of years. Even if I and you lose both, I can accept being a vassal of other city-states, but you certainly don't want the city of Knossos to completely weaken."

"What is your request?"

"We will use Mount Iji in the central part of Crete as the dividing line. The east of Mount Iji is your territory, and the west of Mount Iji belongs to me."

"Originally, three-quarters of Crete belonged to me. Now you want to take away one-third of my territory. Do you think I can accept it?"

"If you don't accept it, then we will continue to fight and see who can bear the loss first."

As the overlord of the Aegean Sea, the city of Knossos must have far more hostile city-states than the city of Donia.

If the city of Knossos and the city of Donia are in a situation of mutual damage, the war will end, and the enemies that the city of Knossos will have to face will far exceed those of Donia.

Facing Pandora who persisted and refused to give in, Europa suddenly threw two double-sided battle axes at Pandora's body at the same time.

Swish!Swish!
The two double-sided battle axes spun at high speed, and flew towards Pandora at lightning speed.

Pandora vibrated her wings, dodged the front and back waves of the two double-sided battle axes with her super speed, then descended from the sky and swooped towards Europa.

Just when Pandora's lance blade was about to pierce Europa's body, Europa who stood still and did not dodge suddenly said in a cold voice.

"I accept your request!"

The next moment!

As if time stood still, Pandora stopped her attack.

After withdrawing the spear blade that was stabbing at Europa, Pandora said with a sweet smile.

"Dear Europa, we are real sisters, and we shouldn't fight like this at all. Are you really willing to accept my request and share Crete equally with me?"

Europa said with an unwilling expression.

"Because the city of Knossos lost the war with the city of Athens, the enemies and problems of Knossos city are now emerging. The strength of Knossos city is weakened. As the patron saint of Knossos city, My divine power is also weakening. Now I can't completely defeat you, and I don't want to lose both with you. After Knossos and Donia are both defeated, Knossos will lose hope of rising again."

Hearing Europa's answer, Pandora joked jokingly.

"Now that the city of Knossos has lost its status as the overlord of the Aegean Sea, my Donia city will not let go of the opportunity to seize hegemony. Seeing that we are sisters, you should deal with other enemies first and don't interfere with Donia city. Grow and grow."

"Humph!"

Europa snorted coldly, then turned and left directly.

on the human battlefield.

Radamandis and Minos continued to fight.

At this moment, a young noble from the city of Knossos came to the battlefield on horseback and shouted.

"King Minos! King Minos!"

Seeing that Minos was not affected, Radamandis took the initiative to distance himself from Minos and said with a deep smile.

"Minos, since someone is looking for you, go talk to him!"

"Do you know why he came to me?"

Minos looked at Radamandes suspiciously, then turned and shouted at the young nobleman who was calling him.

"I am here!"

The young nobleman came to Minos' side and jumped off his horse, then leaned towards Minos and whispered something in Minos' ear.

After hearing the news brought by the young nobleman, Minos' face became extremely ugly, and he stared at Radamandis with angry eyes and asked.

"Radamandis, I heard that your Donian navy intercepted merchant ships in the Sea of ​​Thira to collect tolls. Is this true?"

"You can collect taxes in the city of Knossos, and of course I can collect tolls in the Sea of ​​Thira."

Seeing Radamandis admit it, Minos said through gritted teeth.

"Is your fleet a navy or a pirate? Because you robbed tolls, the number of merchant ships coming to Knossos today has been reduced by more than half."

"That's a really big problem!"

Radamandis smiled gloatingly.

"Without merchant ships taking the initiative to transport food to Knossos, will there be a food problem in Knossos? If the residents of Knossos starve to death, the laws of King Minos can still control them ?"

"you are vicious--"

Minos took a deep breath and said.

"I give you all the vassal city-states to the west of Iji Mountain. Are you willing to reach a truce with me and stop robbing tolls from merchant ships?"

"Donia City is a large city-state, and the city-states west of Iji Mountain should all become my vassals. I can stop the war with you, but I will continue to collect tolls. If those merchant ships feel that they are at a disadvantage, they can go to many Donia City will not charge merchant taxes to merchant ships as long as they pay tolls.”

"You want Donia to replace Knossos as a trading hub—"

Unexpectedly, the city of Athens first competed with the city of Knossos for the status of a trade hub, and now the city of Donia competed with the city of Knossos and the city of Athens for the status of a trade hub.

Thinking of his father falling into a coma, Minos gritted his teeth and said.

"I'd like to see this Three Kingdoms struggle, whether it will be the city of Athens, the city of Knossos or the city of Donia that will have the last laugh."

Attica Peninsula.

Eleusis region.

While Minos and Radamandis ceased fighting, Roy and Pallas rode two horses along the concrete road to the vicinity of the camp of the Eleusis tribe.

Because the Eleusis had all migrated to Athens, the settlement of the Eleusis tribe had been abandoned.

Even if there are wanderers occupying the resident of the Eleusis tribe, the number of these wanderers will not be too many.

But now, Roy and Pallas observed under the hillside where the Eleusis tribe's camp was located, and found that there were hundreds of people living in the Eleusis tribe's camp.

These people are obviously not wanderers, but a small tribe occupying the resident of the Eleusis tribe.

"The north of the Eleusis region is the region of Thebes, and the region of Corinth is to the west. Regardless of whether this small tribe is a Thebes or a Corinthian, their true identity is the Athenians of the Kingdom of Athens."

Roy looked at the settlement of the Eleusis tribe and said.

"Pallas, let's visit this tribe and ask about their origins."
