I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 79 Winning Tents for the Phoenicians

"Priest Roy... Priest Roy..."

Hearing the calling sound in his ears, Roy immediately woke up from his sleep.

Opening his eyes and seeing the simple and honest face of Taurus, Roy sat up, touched his cold arm and said.

"The Thebes region is indeed located in the north of Athens. The night here is colder than Athens. If you have been sleeping at night, your body will definitely get sick."

Hearing Roy's words, Taurus froze all over, and said with emotion.

"Priest Luoy, compared to being held captive by the Thebes in a sheepfold, and unable to even lie on the ground to sleep, it is very good that we can sleep with a bonfire in the woods to keep warm."

"fool!"

Roy stood up and said to the Taurus while turning his head and looking around at the Phoenicians around him.

"I sleep with you, not to put on a show, but to experience the problems you encounter. Now I know that sleeping at night will make you sick, and then I will solve this problem."

It was dawn when the sun had just risen.

Some of the Phoenicians who woke up earlier than Roy collected firewood in the woods, some cooked oatmeal beside the bronze tripod, and some thirsty people lay down beside the ancient spring of Dirce to drink spring water .

Seeing that none of the Phoenicians showed symptoms of illness, Roy looked at Taurus and said.

"Taurus, after we finish our breakfast, I will teach you how to make cement and build a cement city wall under the cobble-shaped highland where the Thebes tribe is located. After the cement city wall is built, I can negotiate with the priests of Harmonia, Let her provide us with tents. You are all my important companions, and only if you can sleep in the tents can I sleep peacefully."

"Priest Loy...you are such a strange person."

Taurus looked at Roy with complicated eyes and said.

"Besides Prince Cadmus and his father, I have seen other rulers. Among the rulers I have met, there is no one who cares about us commoners as you do."

Roy patted Taurus on the shoulder and said.

"I care about you so much because I am not a noble prince, but an ordinary commoner like you.

After breakfast, Roy directed the Phoenicians to get busy. Some Phoenicians made cement, some Phoenicians dug the foundation of the cement city wall, and the rest built the skeleton of the tent with branches.

While the Phoenicians were busy, the Thebes were also cutting down trees and building new wooden houses on the cobbled heights.

The Thebes tribe wanted to annex five small tribes with thousands of people, and the newly built wooden houses were prepared for the five small tribes that were about to migrate.

In a blink of an eye, it was evening.

Roy commanded the Phoenicians to build a concrete wall five meters high, half a meter wide, and ten meters long under the goose-shaped high ground.

While Roy and the Phoenicians who built the concrete wall were sitting and resting by the concrete wall, Harmonia came over with a team of about a thousand people.

Seeing that there were men, women, old people and children in the team behind Harmonia, Roy immediately understood that this was a small tribe annexed by the Thebes tribe.

Unexpectedly, Harmonia, as the highest priestess of the goddess Mnemosyne and the leader of the Thebes tribe, would personally bring the people of this small tribe to migrate here.

Seeing the cement wall built by Roy and others, Harmonia stopped walking with eyes widened in surprise.

After recovering, Harmonia walked towards the concrete wall and said.

"Priest Luoy, is this the city wall you said was made of cement?"

Roy stood up and walked to Harmonia.

Seeing that Harmonia was about to reach out to press the concrete wall, Roy said immediately.

"Priest of Harmonia, the cement wall is not dry yet. After three more days, you can try the hardness of the cement wall."

Harmonia said with some disappointment that he could not immediately verify the hardness of the cement wall.

"Then I'll wait another three days! Priest Loi, today I successfully migrated a small tribe here, so I will reward myself with a sumptuous dinner. Do you want to have dinner with me?"

Facing the invitation from Harmonia, it was really hard for Roy to refuse.

"Priest of Harmonia! Now I regard you as an important friend. Since it is a friend's invitation, of course I cannot refuse. But I have to make a request first, and I hope you can agree to me. I slept with my companions last night Finally, I feel that the nights in the Thebes area are too cold, and my companions are prone to get sick when sleeping outdoors at night, so I hope you can provide us with some tents."

Harmonia looked at the Phoenician by the concrete wall, then looked at the concrete wall and said.

"Although I haven't verified the hardness of the cement wall, I believe Priest Loi will not lie to me. Seeing that you have built a cement wall for our Thebes tribe, I can give you fifty tents."

Fifty tents were allocated to 250 Phoenicians, and five Phoenicians would sleep in one tent.

Although it will be a bit crowded, it is better than sleeping on a cold night.

Thebes tribe.

Palace stone house in Harmonia.

As night fell, the hall was illuminated by the fire of candles.

Roy and Harmonia were sitting at the stone table enjoying a sumptuous dinner. Seeing that Harmonia was always looking at him, Roy couldn't help but said.

"Priest of Harmonia, do you have anything to say?"

Harmonia smiled and shook her head.

"I've been thinking about a very important thing."

After drinking and eating, seeing that Harmonia didn't take the initiative to keep her, Roy could only say cheekily.

"Priest of Harmonia, may I sleep in your guest room tonight?"

"Eh--"

Harmonia said with a surprised expression.

"Priest Loi, don't you want to share weal and woe with those Phoenicians? Then you should go back at night and huddle in a tent with those Phoenicians."

Roy blushed in embarrassment and said.

"I wanted to sleep with them last night because it was too hard to sleep at night. I have secured a tent for them tonight, so I don't need to go back and share a tent with six of them."

"Hahahaha……"

Seeing Roy's embarrassed look, Harmonia smiled coquettishly.

"Priest Luoy, you are such an interesting person. But as you said, if you go back and squeeze the tent with them now, it will make them squeeze the tent from five people to six people, so you will be in my guest room Go to sleep! You are a young man after all, do you need me to arrange a young and beautiful maid to serve you?"

Roy froze for a moment, then shook his head.

How could Roy be interested in her maid with Harmonia, who was as beautiful as a goddess, but also hidden a great evil.

the next day.

Roy continued to direct the Phoenicians to build concrete walls, and Harmonia also continued to personally move other small tribes to the cobble-shaped highlands where the Thebes tribe was located.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

All five small tribes migrated here, increasing the population of the Thebes tribe to tens of thousands, and the first concrete wall that Roy commanded the Phoenicians to build had dried up.
