I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 205 The King of Athens strikes with lightning
The seat of the Eleusis tribe.

Roy and Pallas appeared at the foot of the hill on horseback, and were immediately spotted by the residents in charge of security.

When the two arrived halfway up the hillside, more than 50 men rushed out from the camp of the Eleusis tribe with weapons.

After the group of men surrounded Roy and Pallas, half of them were using bronze spears, and they looked like soldiers who had experienced battles on the battlefield. Roy asked while guessing their origins.

"Who are you, and why did you come here to occupy the settlement of the Eleusis tribe?"

A middle-aged man who looked like the leader replied.

"Before asking us, you should explain your identity and purpose of coming. When we migrated here, we found that there is no one living here. Now we live here, and we are the hosts here. As guests, you should introduce to the host first. Own."

"You said you are the host and I am the guest—"

Roy said with a playful smile.

"Listen well, I am King Roy of Athens. The Attica Peninsula, Thebes region, Eubia Island, and Corinth region are all territories of the Kingdom of Athens, and I am the real owner of this land."

Knowing Roy's identity, the middle-aged man first widened his eyes in shock, then said with a frown.

"If you are really King Loi of Athens, then you are indeed the master of this land. We are the Argos tribe who migrated from the Argos region. If you don't allow us to live here, we will migrate to other places."

"Argos tribe?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Roy couldn't help but froze.

Because after the Mycenaeans conquered the Argos region, although the Argos region has not been changed into the Mycenae region, the Argos have been assimilated by the Mycenaeans into the Mycenaeans.

These people in front of them claim to be the Argos tribe. Obviously, they are Argos who do not want to be ruled and assimilated by the Mycenaeans after the Mycenaeans conquered the Argos region.

"Argives, I know that you do not want to be ruled and assimilated by the Mycenaeans, so you left your hometown and came to the Attica Peninsula."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"I can allow you to live in the Eleusis region, but you must abide by the laws of the Kingdom of Athens and worship the goddess Metis with us. That is to say, you must be assimilated into Athenians by us."

After hearing Roy's request, the middle-aged man showed a embarrassed expression on his face.

At this moment, a young girl came from the camp of the Eleusis tribe and said.

"Great King of Athens, we can follow the laws of the Kingdom of Athens, but you cannot force us to worship the goddess Metis of Athens."

Roy looked up and saw that it was a girl about 20 years old. She was wearing the same coarse linen clothes as the common people, but she was still beautiful and charming.

Under the blowing of the mountain wind, her black curly hair was scattered freely and fell down her waist like waves. The hemp rope tied around her waist stretched out her slender waist that could be grasped with one hand, and her white porcelain-like feet wore straw sandals.

Perhaps for the convenience of movement, her dress only reached her knees and did not cover her beautiful calves.

The girl has a baby face as delicate as a doll, but the expression on her face is full of determination, as if she has suffered a lot of suffering.

Looking at this heart-stopping and beautiful girl, Roy said with a displeased frown.

"You don't want to worship the goddess Metis. I can't treat you as my own, let alone accept that you worship other gods in the territory of the goddess Metis. When the Mycenaeans migrated to the Argos region At that time, I saw that the Mycenaeans wanted to worship Zeus and Poseidon in the Argos area. If the Argos king Inarchus could decisively call on the Argos to destroy the Mycenaeans, perhaps Argos One would not be reduced to being assimilated by the Mycenaeans. Having learned from Inarchus, I will not repeat the same mistakes."

After Roy finished speaking, he saw the girl burst into tears, and tears gushed from the corners of her eyes unstoppably.

The dozens of men surrounding Roy and Pallas also looked at Roy with angry eyes, as if Roy had humiliated their important person.

"Please don't humiliate Inarcus."

After the girl wiped away her tears, she looked at Roy without fear and said.

"Inax didn't expel the Mycenaeans decisively, just because he was too kind, and he never thought that the Mycenaeans would repay their kindness."

Looking at the girl protecting Inax and the dozens of men around her, Roy suddenly understood their identities.

"So you are the subjects of Inax."

The middle-aged man who looked like the leader walked up to the girl and said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, the Inax that you humiliated is my elder brother. I am Argolid, the younger brother of Inarcus, and this child is Io, the daughter of my elder brother Inax."

"Io—"

Hearing this name, Roy's eyes widened in shock.

For in another world myth she was the first human wife of the king of the gods worshiped by the Mycenaeans.

In the myth of Io, she wandered from the land to the Egyptian region, where she became the goddess of Isis in the Egyptian region, and the son she gave birth to became Horus.

Among the gods in Egypt, Osiris was originally the pharaoh who was deified after death, and Isis was the queen who was deified after death, so the origin of Osiris and Isis was not a powerful god.

But in a long period of more than 1000 years, Isis was confused with the sun goddess and the lion goddess, and obtained the lofty personality of the queen of the gods.

Io can be confused with Isis in Mycenaean mythology, which is obviously an extraordinary treatment.

Perhaps this is how the Mycenaeans thanked Inarchos for making his beloved daughter the mythological first human wife of Zeus and confused with a queen of the gods.

After recovering from the shock, Roy said expressionlessly.

"Even if you are the younger brother and daughter of Inakus, you still have to worship the goddess Metis. If you refuse to assimilate, I can only expel you."

Rumbling--

After Roy finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky and struck a tree not far away.

In the next instant, the tree struck by the thunder burst into flames.

It was a cloudless, sunny day.

Roy looked up at the sky, and saw a huge red figure floating in the sky thousands of meters high, which looked like a burning flame.

"Everyone hurry up and hide!"

Io seemed to know that there was danger, and suddenly shouted to the surrounding Argives.

"Get away from this person who offended the goddess, so that you won't be affected."

Hearing Io's warning, the surrounding Argives retreated away from Loi.

Rumbling--

Another thunderbolt fell from the sky.

The first thunderbolt landed more than ten meters away from Roy, and the second thunderbolt landed only five meters away from Roy.

Looking at the thunder that seemed to be gradually aiming at him, Roy felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Rumbling--

The third thunderbolt fell, crushing a stone on the ground.

Seeing that the third thunderbolt was only one meter away from him, Roy finally confirmed that the thunderbolt was targeting him.

"Pallas, what are you still doing in a daze, run away!"

When Roy came back to his senses, he immediately let the horse gallop away from the camp of the Eleusis tribe.
