I was a priest in the city-state era

While the 3,000-strong army of Athens was fighting against the 5,000-strong army of Deucalion, Procne, Philomela, Chione, and Pandora also came to the wall of Athens under the protection of a group of palace soldiers. Watch the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing that the advantage of the three thousand troops in the city of Athens was becoming more and more obvious, Philomela clasped her hands together and said excitedly.

"Brother Roy is so powerful. He was able to defeat Deucalion's five thousand soldiers with three thousand soldiers."

"War is not won by the party with greater numbers."

Pandora said with a faint smile.

"If they could win with more numbers, the Egyptians would not have been conquered and ruled by the nomads in the Phoenician region for more than a hundred years. Moreover, as an island city-state, the city of Knossos is really powerful in its navy, and Athenian soldiers cannot fight on land. It’s not normal to defeat Knossos soldiers.”

"This is also because the numerical difference between us and the enemy is not big."

Chione said with a serious face.

"Thanks to reinforcements from Thebes, Eubia, and the city of Corinth, the enemy's number is not even twice ours. If the enemy's number is three or even five times ours, it will be very difficult for us. Make up the difference in numbers to defeat the opponent.”

Procne looked at Philomela, Chione, and Pandora with a smile and said.

"Sisters, it looks like we can weave a flower crown for brother Roy."

On the battlefield outside Athens.

Although Roy gradually suppressed Deucalion with the divine power of Metis and Mnemosyne, Deucalion still fought tenaciously with Roy and did not want to accept the result of defeat.

Europa, the patron saint of the people of Knossos, is like a stubborn heifer who wants to increase his divine power to reverse the situation that is unfavorable to him.

As Europa's divine power increased, two huge horns appeared on her head. Her divine power also increased to the point where she could hold the black mountain peak conjured by Mnemosyne's divine power with her left hand while waving both sides with her right hand. The battle between Tomahawk and Metis was hard to decide.

Deucalion received the blessing of Europa's divine power and began to fight back against Roy in the battle.

"Deucalion, your stubborn resistance should really come to an end."

Roy wielded his spear and fought fiercely with Deucalion, and persuaded Deucalion.

"Look at the soldiers around us! Your soldiers have more casualties than mine. This war has doomed you to failure."

"Don't get too proud too soon."

Deucalion said angrily through gritted teeth.

"Even if I can't defeat you on land, I can still blockade your city of Athens at sea. You can't get food from the outside. How long can the food of Athens city last you? When your current food is used up, the city of Athens will How many people died of hunger? One thousand or two thousand? Three thousand or five thousand?"

"Deucalion, you underestimate me and the city of Athens. If you had not underestimated me and the city of Athens, you might not have lost this war today."

In order to win this war that must not be lost, Roy had three thousand soldiers wearing paper armor and using bronze spears.

Not only did Deucalion's five thousand soldiers not wear decent armor, but only half of them used bronze war spears.

It was precisely because the city of Knossos was far more powerful than the city of Athens that before the war began, they despised the city of Athens in all aspects, which led to the failure of the war.

Or to be fair, the city of Knossos did not underestimate the city of Athens, but even overestimated the strength of the city of Athens.

It's a pity that Roy increased the strength of the city of Athens like a cheat, which Deucalion couldn't have thought of even if he tried hard.

The goddess Europa, with a pair of horns appearing on her head, laughed triumphantly while swinging her double-sided battle ax towards Metis.

"Have you seen it? This is the difference in power between a snake and an ox. Even if you two snakes join forces, you still can't defeat me."

"Eh--"

With Amphitrite sighing softly, Amphitrite appeared on the sea not far away in a huge figure of a thousand meters tall.

After Europa, Metis, and Mnemosyne looked at Amphitrite, Amphitrite waved her silver trident and said.

"I'm here to fulfill my responsibility as an ally. Don't blame us for bullying the minority!"

After saying that, Amphitrite's silver trident slapped on the sea.

A huge water column immediately rushed towards Europa, hitting Europa with amazing divine power.

Under the impact of Amphitrite's divine power, Europa could not help but retreat step by step, and soon left the land.

Europa, whose feet left the ground and retreated to the sea, although unwilling to accept it, had to admit defeat. "

"You--you are really amazing!"

Europa stepped on the sea with her bare ankles, stared at Metis, Mnemosyne, and Amphitrite in shame and annoyance, and shouted angrily.

"Three snakes actually joined forces to deal with me. This war is completely unfair."

"Are you a child?"

Metis teased with a sneer.

"In the words of my priest Roy, war is not a duel. For war, the most important thing is the result of victory. If you are dissatisfied with us bullying the minority, you can also find allies as reinforcements."

"I will remember the shame of today and return this shame to you."

Europa left these words, and then her body turned into a white divine light and flew to Crete.

After Mnemosyne retracted the black mountain she had transformed into with divine power and Amphitrite also retracted the huge water column, Metis took the initiative to speak to the two goddesses.

"Sisters, thank you for lending me a hand."

"This is just fulfilling the obligations of an ally."

Mnemosyne said with a faint smile.

"Now that the war is over, I would like to invite you to the holy spring of Helicon to wash away the dust of the battlefield."

"Okay!"

Amphitrite said immediately.

"I haven't bathed in the holy spring of Helicon for a long time. The last time was when we fought for Helicon. I have been looking forward to bathing in the holy spring with you for a long time."

Mnemosyne said with a cold look.

"I am also a hospitable host. If you hadn't fought with me for Helicon, we would have had the opportunity to bathe together long ago."

Metis said with a smile.

"Since you all want to bathe in the holy spring of Mount Helicon, I have no reason to refuse."

When Roy heard the three goddesses say they were going to bathe in Mount Helicon, his head immediately became hot, and an incredible power inexplicably emerged in his body.

With a click!

Roy's spear and Deucalion's spear collided again, and Roy's spear blade directly split Deucalion's spear in half.

Deucalion, who had lost his weapon, saw Roy waving his spear to launch a fatal attack on him, and had to accept the defeat and turn around to escape.

After Deucalion escaped, his soldiers followed him and fled, leaving the battlefield in chaos.

"Catch all the deserters!"

Roy did not lead his soldiers to chase the fleeing Deucalion, but asked the soldiers to capture the soldiers who fled on the battlefield.

Because the soldiers who did not flee with Deucalion were likely to stay in the Attica Peninsula and become bandits.
