Chapter 333 Aeetes, Son of the Sun God

Feeling Hippolyta staring at him fiercely, Roy continued.

"Queen Hippolyta! Although I cannot sell you the black iron weapons of the Kingdom of Athens, I can sell you bronze weapons and various bronze utensils."

Bronze weapons are different from iron weapons.

No matter how much gold Hippolyta took out, it was impossible to buy black iron weapons in places other than the Kingdom of Athens.

Roy did not sell bronze weapons, and Hippolyta could buy bronze weapons from many places with gold.

Rather than letting others exchange bronze weapons and bronze utensils for Hippolyta's gold, it is better for Roy to earn Hippolyta's gold himself.

Moreover, allowing the Amazon tribe to form a weapon dependence on the Kingdom of Athens can also temporarily guarantee peace between the two sides.

"Will you sell me the bronze weapon—"

Hippolyta said in a displeased tone.

"Bronze weapons are not unique to your Kingdom of Athens. I can only exchange a catty of gold for a catty of bronze to buy bronze weapons and various copper utensils from you."

"can!"

Roy readily agreed to the price proposed by Hippolyta, and Hippolyta still said unwillingly.

"You still think about it, sell me the black iron weapon! I am going to turn all the men of the Pelos tribe into gold mining slaves. As long as you are willing to sell me the black iron weapon, even if you ask for a thousand I can also accept a catty of gold in exchange for a catty of black iron weapons."

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Queen Hippolyta! Gold can't be eaten, nor can it be made into weapons or agricultural tools. What's the use of so much gold! The value of gold lies in the fact that someone is willing to buy gold jewelry at a high price. As long as I have no interest in gold jewelry, Gold has no value."

After Hippolyta and her three thousand knights left with more than 1 men from the Pelos tribe, Roy and 1 iron gunmen remained in the Pelos tribe, managing more than [-] men from the Pelos tribe. woman.

When the Phthia tribe and the Ferris tribe migrated to the west of the Macedonian Great Plains, Roy would return to the city of Aiolkas with the Iron Lancers and more than 5000 unmarried girls from the Pelos tribe.

Sun Tribe.

This is the most powerful tribe in Thrace. The tribal king of the Sun Tribe is Aeetes, the son of the sun god Helios.

A fertile plain between the lower reaches of the Danube and the Black Sea is where the king's camp of the Sun Tribe is located.

At this time, in the king's tent of the Sun Tribe, the young and powerful Aeetes, the son of the sun god Helios, was receiving two special guests--Atamas and his son Phryxos.

As the king of Thracia who nominally ruled all the tribes in the Thrace region, Aeetes sat on a throne made of gold and possessed incomparable power.

The son of the sun god was shirtless as if he was not afraid of the cold, and a sun wheel was tattooed on his body with golden dye.

His long blond hair was tied in a red headband, and he had a short beard.

Both Atamas and Phryxos looked at Aeetes with awe, their terror almost written on their faces.

Aeetes looked at Atamas and Phryxos with a playful smile and asked.

"You said that you have important news to tell me. Is this news worth my precious time on you?"

Atamas nodded immediately.

"Great Aeetes, this news is indeed important. We Dorian tribes were defeated by the southern black-haired men in Thessaly. If those black-haired men outnumbered us, we were defeated by them It's not unusual. But the 5-strong Dorian tribes were defeated by [-] black-haired warriors holding a black weapon. That black weapon is like a god's weapon They can easily kill our fighters. Our bodies are as fragile as autumn grass in front of the sharp edge of black weapons."

"Black Weapon—"

Aietes frowned.

"Did you not distinguish between gold and black, and you mistook golden bronze weapons for black weapons? My tribe also has sharp bronze weapons, which I bought from merchants from the Troy region."

While speaking, Aeetes drew a short bronze dagger from a scabbard.

"This bronze weapon is really sharp. I am going to equip all my guardsmen with bronze weapons."

Atamas glanced at the bronze dagger in Aeetes' hand, then shook his head and said.

"Great Aeetes, this is not the black weapon that the black-haired men of the South used to defeat us. With all due respect, that black weapon is sharper than the dagger in your hand."

"You say the black weapon is sharper than the bronze weapon—"

Atamas' words finally attracted the attention of Aeetes.

At this moment, a girl with dazzling blond hair and a golden ring around her neck walked into the king's tent and said.

"Father, I have good news for you."

The blond girl walked to Aeetes, sat on the armrest of the golden throne and said.

"Our craftsmen have successfully forged bronze spearheads, and we don't need to buy bronze weapons from those merchants in the future."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Aeetes immediately smiled happily.

"My dear daughter Phyllis, this is indeed good news. There are copper mines and forests in our territory, and we are lucky to have caught craftsmen who can smelt bronze. All of this is the result of the great father god Helios. Si loves us. Soon—our warriors will be equipped with bronze weapons that we made ourselves, and we don’t have to worry about those farming peoples conquering us with bronze weapons, let alone other nomads coming to snatch our territory.”

Phryxos looked at Aeetes' daughter, Princess Phyllis, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Among the girls he had ever seen, Phyllis was undoubtedly the most beautiful and noble.

If he can become Phyllis's husband, he can regain his territory with the help of the king of the Sun Tribe, Aeetes, and even have the opportunity to inherit the throne of Aeetes, becoming a land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the Thrace region. The domain and the nominal king of all tribes.

"Great Aeetes—"

Driven by a certain thirst, Phryxos said boldly.

"You must see the threat of the Kingdom of Athens. I don't think they will be satisfied if they seize the Thessaly area. I think they only have [-] black weapons now. This is our best chance to destroy the Kingdom of Athens."

Seeing Phryxos admonishing Aeetes without authorization, Atamas said in a panic.

"Phryxos, you dare to speak without permission. Great Aeetes, please forgive my son Phryxos, and I will teach him a lesson."

Aeetes looked at Phryxos with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and joked with a smile.

"Young Phrixos, are you trying to provoke a war between me and the Kingdom of Athens, and ask me to help you father and son regain their territory and people?"

Frixos shook his head without hesitation and said.

"I didn't take advantage of your ideas at all, I just wanted you to see the threat to us from the Kingdom of Athens."
