I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 328 Heading to the Great Plains of Macedonia
Before night falls.

Roy took Laodamia back to the city of Iolkas.

The royal palace of Aeolus.

Roy led Laodamia into the palace hall. Harmonia, who was sitting with Heller and Alcestis, saw that there was another beautiful blonde girl beside Roy, and immediately showed dissatisfaction on her face. expression.

"My dear! It turns out that you are not going to conquer the Phthia tribe, but to capture Eurytion's daughter, Princess Laodamia."

Hearing Harmonia's ridicule, Roy explained with a smile.

"Eurytion asked me to marry Laodamia as a condition for him to surrender to me. I also accepted it to avoid the sacrifice of both parties."

Seeing Laodamia standing behind Roy like a well-behaved and obedient little wife, Harmonia sighed and said.

"Laodamia, you will follow me with Heller and Alcestis from now on!"

Seeing that Roy did not object, Laodamia immediately walked to Heller and Alcestis and said.

"Heller! Alcestis! It seems that we will always be together in the future, please take care of me, two sisters."

"It should be you who takes care of me."

Heller said with an ugly face.

"Although we are all tribal princesses, you and Alcetis will be his wives, and I'm just his slave."

Alcestis also looked at Harmonia and said.

"Laodamia! Although we are all women of His Majesty the King of Athens, you and I should only be the concubine of a lower status, so we must obey the orders of Sister Harmonia."

After Roy came to sit down beside Harmonia, Harmonia asked Heller, Alcestis, and Laodamia to cook dinner, and said to Roy.

"Dear! I have sent messengers to the city of Athens, and Chione may come to the city of Aiolkas with the first settlers from Crete in ten days. Now the four major tribes of the Dorians are all Has been conquered by us, is this war over?"

"Ten days—"

Hearing this time unit, Roy said with some dissatisfaction.

"With the expansion of the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, the communication between the various regions of the Kingdom of Athens will take longer and longer. If the city of Athens goes back and forth to Egypt and Thrace, it will take half a month or even a month. , the Kingdom of Athens can't effectively control border regions like Egypt and Thrace. It seems that in order to shorten the time spent on communication between various regions, I want to create a steamship that can reach three times the speed of a sailboat. With that With a fast steam ship, the round-trip time from Athens to Egypt and Thrace can be controlled within ten days.”

Harmonia asked curiously.

"Steamboat? Does the ship emit steam?"

"Harmonia, when I build the steamship, you will know what the steamship looks like. But I will not start the design and manufacture of the steamship until after this war is over."

"Is this war over yet?"

"no!"

Roy looked to the north and said.

"Although we don't even have enough people to migrate to Thessaly, I will attack the Macedonian region next, and drive the Ferris and Phthia tribes to the Macedonian Great Plains to raise horses for me. Only the Macedonian region Only by destroying all the Thracians, or teaching them a painful lesson, can the Thracians not dare to offend the Kingdom of Athens in a short time."

"Honey, when are you going to end the war and marry me?"

Harmonia said with some resentment.

"After we met, you spent most of your time either fighting or on your way to the battlefield. If you are also like this in the future, how much time can you spend with me?"

Roy said with a guilty conscience.

"Harmonia! I promise to finish this war before the end of June, and then hold a wedding ceremony to marry you in the second half of the year, and I will always be by your side."

"Now you have so many girls by your side. During the six months in the second half of the year, I hope you can spare a month to be by my side."

Looking at the pleading expression on Harmonia's little face, Roy nodded and said.

"I will definitely spare a month to accompany you."

After Roy finished speaking, Heller, Alcetis, and Laodamia walked in with dinner.

While enjoying dinner under the service of Heller, Alcetis, and Laodamia, myths from another world emerged in Roy's mind.

In the mythology of another world, Heller, Alcestis, and Laodamia are all the names of Doric princesses in the region of Thessaly.

Alcestis and Laodamia are faithful wives in mythology.

When Alcestis's husband was about to die, Alcestis voluntarily took the place of her husband and dedicated his soul to death.

After Laodamia's fiancé died on the battlefield of Troy, Laodamia died for her fiancé.

Heller - This is a name that sounds similar to Helen.

In the myth of Jason capturing the Golden Fleece, Heller was buried in the sea when he was young.

But Helen, who has a similar name to Heller, is an unfaithful wife and a derelict mother who abandoned her husband and daughter after being bewitched by the divine power of Aphrodite, the god of love.

Because Heller and Helen have similar names, and they are both Dorian princesses, Roy has always subconsciously regarded Heller as the prototype of Helen, thinking that she will become a woman who betrays her husband.

the next day.

Roy once again left the city of Aiolkas with the Iron Lancers.

And Roy's goal is to enter the Macedonian Great Plain from the plain east of the Olympus Mountains.

The Macedonian region covers an area of ​​about 600 square kilometers. In the era after [-] years, it was one of the most affluent and developed regions in Greece.

There are not only fertile land suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, but also metal resources such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and lead.

Three thousand and six hundred years later, as many as 600 million tons of gold have been mined from the Halkidiki Peninsula, and the gold resources have not been exhausted.

The Macedonian region is now ruled by the Thracians, and there is also a Thracian tribe who worships Dionysus, the god of wine.

In the ancient city of Macedonia in another world, after excavation, there was a picture of Dionysus riding a leopard inlaid on the floor.

In Macedonian cities, there were also grape festivals that may have been associated with Dionysus, the god of wine.

Because Dionysus, the god of wine, was also the god of grapes.

It is impossible to make wine without grapes.

Therefore, in mythology, vines, wine, and grapes are all symbols of Dionysus, the god of wine.

Looking around the world, other regions did not regard Dionysus as the main deity worship.

As a nomadic people in the north, the Thracians worship Dionysus, the god of wine, as their main god. Perhaps because of the cold winter, the only thing that can bring warmth to their bodies is wine. .

Helios, the sun god, was the king of the gods who ruled the region of Thrace, a testament to the Thracian desire to survive the harsh winters.

It is a pity that worshiping Dionysus, the god of wine, and becoming an alcoholic will not only fail to make the tribe grow stronger, but will make the tribe weaker and weaker. Therefore, Dionysus, the god of wine, is probably the weakest patron saint in the Thrace region.
