I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 65 Aphrodite, Queen of the Gods

The Asopas River not only irrigates the plains on both sides of the river, but also serves as the natural boundary between the Attica Peninsula and the Thebes region.

Roy swam to the north bank of the Asopus River with a piece of wood in his arms, and immediately chased Cadmus and the others.

In the woods to the south of a goose-shaped plateau.

As soon as Roy walked into the woods, he heard fierce shouts of killing coming from ahead.

Following the sound of killing came to the center of the woods, Roy stared wide-eyed in shock, seeing that Cadmus and his [-] soldiers were being besieged by about [-] people using wooden spear weapons.

These people who use wooden spear weapons are obviously local tribal people.

Not only do they use wooden spears as weapons, but they don't wear armor, but ordinary coarse cloth robes. They look like a group of ordinary people who have been conscripted temporarily.

Although the tribesmen had a numerical advantage, Cadmus' soldiers cooperated tacitly and were fearless, so they did not fall into a disadvantage in the battle.

Cadmus, who is the hero [Enemy of a Hundred Men], is also fighting the leader of the tribal people at this time.

To Roy's surprise, the leader of the tribal people not only has the same strength as Cadmus, but also a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

"The leader of this group of tribesmen turned out to be a girl, and she is also a hero [Hundred Enemies]—"

The blond beautiful girl who was fighting Cadmus at this time, her dazzling golden long hair was tied into a single ponytail with a black headband, she was wearing a white cotton robe, and her little feet were wearing black strappy sandals made of animal skin.

Her weapon was a bronze war spear. Following the fierce confrontation with Cadmus, the blond girl's delicate doll-like face gradually showed a dignified expression.

Because although the blond girl is the same hero as Cadmus in [Enemies of a Hundred Men], she is a girl after all, and her natural physical strength is weaker than that of Cadmus, who is a man.

Cadmus was obviously aware of this too, and he teased the blond girl while fighting the blond girl with ease.

"You are really like the daughter of the goddess Aphrodite! If you don't want to be hurt, submit to me, become my wife, and dedicate your tribe to me!"

"Outsider, I haven't lost to you yet!"

The blond beautiful girl stared at Cadmus with gritted teeth and said.

"This land is protected by the great goddess of the earth. With the help of the goddess of the earth, I will defeat you invaders. The great goddess who has been guarding the Thebes area, please lend me your strength!"

Hang, hang, hang -

Following the prayer of the beautiful blond girl, a roar like a dragon and a snake came from the distant Helikon Mountain.

Roy turned his head to look at the top of Helikon Mountain, and saw a huge black snake flying over from the top of Helikon Mountain.

When the [-]-meter-long black giant snake flew over the forest, her body instantly transformed into a black-haired goddess about ten meters tall and wearing a black dress.

The goddess' long black hair hanging down her waist was tied together with a golden headband, a golden belt was tied around her waist, and a pair of beautiful ankles wore golden strappy sandals.

Seeing the perfect face of the black-haired goddess, which was too beautiful to describe in words, Roy held his breath for an instant, and his mind went blank.

As if sensing Roy's gaze, the black-haired goddess glanced at where Roy was, and then stared at the beautiful blonde girl with a pair of golden pupils.

The invisible divine power was released from the eyes of the black-haired goddess, and poured into the body of the beautiful blonde girl continuously.

With the help of the black-haired goddess, the blond girl immediately increased her combat power, and in turn suppressed Cadmus.

Although Cadmus couldn't see the black-haired goddess descending on the battlefield, he also knew that the blonde girl's divine power had increased greatly, and she must have been assisted by the earth goddess.

"Great goddess Aphrodite—the queen of the gods in the Eastern Mediterranean! Please lend me your strength! If I can win, I will fulfill my promise to you and let the land I conquer become yours. new territory."

As Cadmus prayed loudly, a golden streamer flew from the distant Eastern Mediterranean Sea to the Thebes region, descending on the woods where the blond girl and Cadmus fought.

After the golden streamer disappeared, a goddess with splendid blond hair appeared above the forest and confronted the black-haired goddess.

The goddess Aphrodite has a pair of white wings behind her. She is wearing a golden armor and holds a golden spear in her right hand. She is obviously a powerful goddess of war.

Seeing the posture of Goddess Aphrodite, Roy immediately understood why Cadmus said that the beautiful blonde girl looked like the daughter of Goddess Aphrodite.

Because the blond girl not only has the same blond hair as the goddess Aphrodite, but is also a strong female warrior.

Goddess Aphrodite looked down at the battle between the blonde girl and Cadmus with her beautiful blue eyes. Cadmus immediately received her divine assistance and instantly reversed the battle situation suppressed by the blonde girl.

After assisting Cadmus, goddess Aphrodite looked at the black-haired goddess and said.

"Are you the local god? I am Aphrodite from the Eastern Mediterranean, the great queen of the gods. People from different regions and ethnic groups call me Anat because of their different pronunciations, while others call me I am called Astarte, Astarte, Astaroth, etc. I am the invincible Goddess of War, Goddess of Venus, Goddess of Love, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess of Thunder, Goddess of Nemesis, Goddess of Medicine, The patron saint of navigation. Besides these godheads, I have many more godheads, even if I don’t mention them one by one, you can still understand my greatness!”

"I am Mnemosyne, goddess of the earth from the region of Thebes."

The black-haired goddess looked at Aphrodite expressionlessly and said.

"I can see that your essence is the Goddess of War with sky attributes. Your numerous godheads must have been absorbed from other gods!"

"My birthplace is the Phoenician region, and the east of my territory is the Mesopotamian plain, so I absorbed some godheads from Ishtar, the queen of the gods who fell in the Mesopotamia, Ishtar I also absorbed some godheads from me, so Ishtar and I became sister gods with a similar nature. Some stupid humans who don't understand gods confuse me with Ishtar, and even regard us as the same god. Later I conquered the Egyptian region with another Phoenician god, and absorbed many godheads from the lion goddess of the Egyptian region. Now I am the lord of the two places ruling the Phoenician region and the Egyptian region, above all gods queen."

"Then you are really amazing!"

Mnemo Shune said with a calm expression.

"But this is the Thebes region far away from the Phoenician region and the Egyptian region, and your authority as the queen of the gods cannot affect this place. If you don't want your beloved human Cadmus to die here, take him Get out of my territory!"

"That can't be done!"

Aphrodite said with an excited smile full of fighting spirit.

"Cadmus has lost his territory in his hometown, so he wants to seize a new territory here. I also want to conquer this land and make your territory mine. If you surrender to me now, great ah Frodite can allow you to continue living on this land as my subordinate god."
