I was a priest in the city-state era

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Roy personally led a thousand Theban soldiers from Thebes to Athens on foot.

Also on this day, the 500 reinforcements from Euboea arrived at the port of Piraeus with 50 large warships, and the 500 reinforcements from Corinth arrived at Piraeus with 20 large warships. Port of Sri Lanka.

In addition to the Athenians' own large warships, there are now one hundred large warships moored in Piraeus Port, and two thousand foreign soldiers are stationed outside Athens.

Roy returned to the Acropolis and entered the palace, where he saw Procne, Philomela and Chione running out to greet him.

Seeing the anxious expressions on all their faces, Roy knew that something important must be happening in Athens.

"Brother Roy!"

After Procne and Philomela rushed over to hug Roy, Procne said with a worried look.

"You are finally back. If you don't return to the city of Athens, there will definitely be unrest."

Hearing Procne take the matter so seriously, Roy said with some doubt.

"I didn't do anything outrageous and made the Athenians unable to live without food. How could they rebel against me?"

Philomela pursed her lips and said.

"There is a rumor spreading in the city of Athens. This rumor says that Pandora is a witch who charms men and brings war. Brother Roy is going to war with the city of Knossos because of Pandora's charm. Although Roy is My brother is the king of Athens, but the Athenians, especially the families of Athenian soldiers, do not want Athenian soldiers to fight with the enemy on the battlefield for a woman. Coupled with the instigation of some people, most Athenians now hate Brother Roy. There was dissatisfaction.”

"It seems like the matter is indeed serious!"

Although Roy could pay generous rewards to gain the loyalty of Athenian soldiers, Athenian soldiers also had families.

If all the families of the Athenian soldiers were against Roy, of course Roy would not be so stupid as to think that the Athenian soldiers would not betray him.

Roy thought about the countermeasures for a while, and then said to Chione.

"Chione, go and convey my order to Aries, and ask him to summon the citizens of Athens - the adult men in the city of Athens - to the square at the foot of the Acropolis. Since someone wants to play a public opinion war with me, then I will break the enemy's public opinion."

After Chione nodded and left, Roy said to Procne and Philomela who were holding him.

"Procne! Philomela! I have to give you an important task. Now our two thousand reinforcements are stationed outside the city of Athens. Go and transport food to them to ensure that every reinforcement soldier is well fed. "

After listening to Roy's words, Procne frowned and said.

"Brother Roy, the food gap in the city of Athens is getting bigger and bigger now. If we supply food to these two thousand reinforcements, the food gap in the city of Athens will definitely increase to hundreds of thousands of kilograms."

"As long as we win this war, I have a way to allow grain merchants to continuously transport grain to the city of Athens."

Roy said with a confident smile.

"Procne, it doesn't matter even if there is a million kilograms of food shortage in the city of Athens. Go and carry out my orders quickly. I guarantee that not a single Athenian will starve to death before the autumn harvest."

Although Procne didn't understand where Roy's confidence came from, she still nodded and chose to believe in her future husband.

After Procne left with Philomela, Roy came to the backyard of the palace and saw Pandora sitting by the swimming pool in the backyard, playing in the water with a pair of white ankles.

Roy walked behind Pandora and said pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Now the city of Athens is about to be in turmoil because of you, but you are still in the mood to play in the water here."

"I'm not here to play in the water, so what should I do?"

Pandora said with a smile.

"You didn't give me the power to manage the city of Athens. If I interfere in the affairs of the city of Athens, you will really be dissatisfied!"

Roy did not deny it, which was regarded as acquiescing to Pandora's words.

"Pandora, now I want to break the negative public opinion against me in Athens. Next, you have to follow me."

After hearing Roy's request, Pandora took back a pair of beautiful ankles from the swimming pool, then turned around, stretched out a pair of small and cute ankles to Roy and said.

"Since you need my help, then help me put on my shoes."

"Don't you know that the source of public opinion is you?"

Roy rolled his eyes dissatisfied, then knelt down on one knee in front of Pandora, held her right foot with his left hand, and picked up her strappy sandal with his left hand.

Before putting on Pandora's strappy sandals, looking down at her delicate and beautiful ankles, Roy couldn't help but swallow all five of her toes in one go, and then tickled her soles with his fingers.

"Ah hahaha——"

Pandora immediately said with a smile.

"Stop it now - hahaha - I really can't stand it - hee hee hee - if you keep grabbing like this - uh uh uh - I'm really going to get angry -"

It wasn't until Pandora fell to the ground with laughter that Roy raised his head and put on strappy sandals for her beautiful ankles.

After picking up Pandora who was lying on the ground and unwilling to get up, Roy said expressionlessly.

"Do you want to follow me by yourself, or do you want me to hold you? If you are not afraid of being embarrassed in front of thousands of people, then I will hold you and go."

Pandora immediately ran away from Roy's arms and said.

"I can walk on my own."

The square at the foot of the Acropolis.

When Roy arrived with Pandora, thousands of Athenian citizens had gathered around the square.

When Roy took Pandora to the altar of the square step by step, and stood at the highest point of the altar facing everyone, he saw Pandora's face without a veil - a beautiful face like a goddess. Thousands of Athenian men were shocked by Pandora's beauty.

"Is that a goddess who turned into a human?"

"She should be the disaster witch who brought war to Athens in the rumor."

"Is that the disaster witch Pandora? If it is for such a beautiful and lovely woman, it may be worthwhile for Athens to go to war with Knossos."

"If she smiles at me, I am willing to die on the battlefield for her."

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Roy said loudly with an unhappy expression.

"Fellow Athenians, the girl next to me is Pandora, the witch who is said to have brought war to Athens. I gathered you together and let you see Pandora's face with your own eyes, because I want you to know that Pandora is just an ordinary girl. I am not bewitched by Pandora. Just like you are not bewitched by Pandora's beautiful face."

After Roy finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately spoke loudly.

"Even if she is not a witch who seduces people, she is Deucalion's fiancée. Because you stole Deucalion's fiancée, Knossos launched a war against Athens."

"Fool, do you really think a woman can cause a war?"

Roy said coldly with an expressionless face.

"I will show everyone Pandora's face, just to let everyone know that neither I nor Deucalion were seduced by Pandora. If you think I shouldn't go to war with Knossos for a woman, do you think Deucalion would be stupid enough to go to war with Athens for a woman?"
