Chapter 273 The Kingdom of Athens Does Not Need a Male God

When Metis and Knight merged into one, it was quite normal for Knight to absorb Metis' divine power and attributes.

After Knight finished explaining, she looked at the Temple of Knight and said.

"Now I'm going back to my Knight Temple to recuperate from my injuries. You can come to me if you have anything."

After finishing speaking, her body turned into a statue of Knight God and flew into the main hall of Knight Temple.

Roy also found his own soldiers and led them to expel or annihilate the priests and nobles in Saisi City.

Because only by driving away these priests and nobles who occupy a large amount of land and wealth, can Roy distribute the land of Saisi City to civilian families.

Only by taking all the food of these priests and nobles as his own, can Roy recruit soldiers in Sais City, have enough troops to promote his rule, and sweep the priests and nobles in various towns and villages around Sais City.

Because the palace in Sais City was more magnificent and magnificent than that in Buto City, Loy also took Andromeda from Buto City.

While Roy recruited [-] soldiers in the city of Sais, and carried out a comprehensive sweep of the land of [-] square kilometers west of the Nile Delta, the news that the city of Sais, one of the three regimes, was conquered by Roy quickly spread throughout the world. Various city-states in the Egyptian region, and caused a huge shock.

Because Roy was not only a foreign ruler, but also destroyed the priests and nobles in Butuo City and Saisi City.

If a foreign ruler like Roy were allowed to dominate Egypt, I am afraid that the priests and nobles of all the city-states in Egypt would suffer.

The first impact brought about by Roy's conquest of Sais City was that the cities of Atribis and Merimda, which were originally vassals of Sais City in name, announced that they would separate from Sais City and become Hyksos vassal.

The second effect was that the Kingdom of Loy and Athens was hostile to all priests and nobles in Egypt.

The third influence is that the priestly nobles under the rule of the Egyptian king Cepheus and the priestly nobles under the rule of the southern Egyptian pharaoh Kamose are persuading them to regard the Kingdom of Athens as an enemy first.

From the time when Kamose's grandfather ruled, Kamose's family had fought against the Hyksos for decades. Both Kamose's grandfather and father were killed by the Hyksos on the battlefield.

During these decades of war, the Hyksos were also killed by the Southern Egyptians by tens of thousands of their people.

The two sides have long had a deep hatred, and of course they will not temporarily let go of their deep hatred just because of Luo Yi's appearance.

Therefore, although the priests and nobles in various Egyptian city-states gritted their teeth against the Kingdom of Athens, they could not persuade the Hyksos and Southern Egyptians to deal with the Kingdom of Athens.

In this situation without strong external force, Roy successfully included the west side of the Nile Delta into the territory of the Kingdom of Athens.

This not only increased the size of the Kingdom of Athens by half, but more than tripled the population ruled by the Kingdom of Athens.

Seys City.

royal palace.

Loy and Andromeda were sitting on the throne in the hall, listening to the grain quantity reported by the Athenian soldiers, and calculating how much surplus grain could be transported to the city of Athens.

On both sides of the Nile River, there is fertile land with two or even three crops a year, but limited by backward farming techniques and types of food crops, the food that can be transported to the city of Athens is very limited.

Although this food is enough to fill the food gap in the Kingdom of Athens, it cannot solve the food problem in Crete.

Loy wanted to solve the food problem in Crete. The first choice was to conquer more Egyptian city-states, and the second choice was to go to the Colchis region on the east coast of the Black Sea to buy food.

Just as Roy was worrying about the food problem, a soldier hurried into the hall and said.

"Your Majesty, the important news just came that the Pharaoh Kamose of the Southern Egyptians has defeated the Hyksos and conquered the city of Memphis."

Hearing this news, Andromeda beside Roy trembled in fright, and unconsciously hugged Roy's arm with both hands.

The city of Memphis was the capital of many dynasties in the history of Egypt. Ptah, the god of flames and craftsmen, was the patron saint of Memphis, so Ptah, one of the three major systems of Egyptian mythology, was born. It is juxtaposed with the creation system of the nine gods in Sun City and the creation system of the eight gods in Hermopolis City in southern Egypt.

The importance of the city of Memphis can be seen only from the perspective of mythology.

In reality, Sun City is the head of the thirteen city-states in northern Egypt, and Memphis City is the gateway to guard Sun City.

Now that the southern Egyptian Pharaoh Kamose conquered Memphis City, Kamose can choose to attack Sun City, or Merimda City and Atribis City. It can be said that he completely takes the initiative in the war.

"Kamos conquered the city of Memphis, which city is his next goal?"

When the soldier heard Andromeda's question, he showed a blank expression, and Roy said immediately.

"Kamos' next goal is Sun City."

Andromeda looked at Roy, who explained with a smile.

"The cities of Merimda and Atribis are not controlled by you Hyksos. Now that they hear the news that Kamose conquered Memphis, maybe they will take the initiative to surrender to Kamose. Since Kamose Si doesn't need to attack Merimda City and Atribis City at all, so his next goal is of course Sun City. After conquering Sun City, Kamose only needs to take down Bubastis City to bring Attack the city of Avaris with the army of southern Egypt."

"Roy, you must help us."

Andromeda pleaded with a pitiful look.

"Kamos is too powerful. If you don't help us, he will definitely lead the army to attack the city of Avaris."

Roy nodded.

"I promised you, so I will help you Hyksos solve Kamose. But I have one condition, that is, you must always stay by my side when there is a conflict between me and the Hyksos .”

"Why did you conflict with us?"

Andromeda said full of doubts.

"As long as you marry me, you and we Hyksos are one family. Although we don't have the tradition of princesses inheriting the throne, it will be difficult for you to become king of Hyksos as my husband, but I can't think of you Our reason for being enemies."

"Andromeda, I want to tell you one thing, that is, the patron saints of the Kingdom of Athens are all goddesses."

Roy said with a serious face.

"You Hyksos are a group that worships the male god Seth [Zeus]. Once the Kingdom of Athens and the Hyksos want to expand their territory in Egypt in the future, there will be war between us. Because I will not allow For the male god Seth [Zeus] has become one of the patron saints of the Kingdom of Athens, and you Hyksos will not easily betray the gods who have protected you for thousands of years."

After listening to Roy's explanation, Andromeda said in disbelief.

"Is my father willing to let you inherit the throne as a son-in-law, and you will not accept Seth [Zeus] as a male god, to force us Hyksos to betray the god who has always guarded us, causing the Kingdom of Athens and us to love The Xosian war is absolutely inevitable?"

"The kingdom of Athens does not need a male god - that will never change."
