I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 99 Perseus's First Defeat

Faliro Bay south of Piraeus Port.

Metis appeared on the sea with a huge figure of 100 meters tall, overlooking the war between Athenians and Mycenaeans.

As long as the Mycenaeans' god Zeus came, Metis would immediately go to the battlefield to fight Zeus.

Strangely, after Roy brought his followers to join the war, the battlefield situation became unfavorable to the Mycenaeans, but the Mycenaeans' god Zeus still did not come.

Looking at the changes in the battlefield situation, Metis said puzzledly.

"Is this war just a tentative attack by King Akrisius of Mycenae, so King Akrisius of Mycenae and Zeus, the patron god of the Mycenaeans, don't care about the outcome of this war?"

Now the goddess Metis didn't know that among the 800 soldiers led by Perseus, Polydectes and Dectis, 500 were soldiers from Seriphos Island belonging to Polydectes and Dectis, and only 300 were Mycenae soldiers brought by Perseus.

King Akrisius of Mycenae had thousands of soldiers, but only sent 300 soldiers to Perseus.

Obviously, King Akrisius of Mycenae did not care about the outcome of this war.

Because the target that King Akrisius of Mycenae really wanted to conquer was not the distant city of Athens, but the nearby city of Corinth.

The only people who really cared about the outcome of this war were Perseus, his father Polydectes, and his uncle Dectis.

As long as Perseus conquers the powerful Athenian tribe, he will be one step closer to becoming the heir to the Mycenae throne.

West gate of Athens.

The fierce war between the Athenians and the Mycenaeans continues.

Although the battle between the leaders of Roy and Perseus, Pandion and Polydectes, and Erechtheus and Dectes has not yet been decided, the fifty young men brought by Roy joined the battle, making the battle between the soldiers clearly decided, and the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Athenians.

Seeing the changes in the battlefield situation, Perseus knew that he had to defeat Roy as soon as possible.

Because after the Mycenae soldiers were completely defeated by the Athenian soldiers, the Athenian soldiers would help Roy, Pandion, and Erechtheus defeat Perseus, Polydectes, and Dectes.

In order to defeat Roy, Perseus no longer avoided Roy's attacks, and began to attack Roy desperately, wanting to win at the cost of injury.

Seeing Perseus eager to win, Roy showed a faint smile on his face.

Since Perseus's mentality is already disordered, he will only be further away from victory.

Roy easily dodged Perseus's attacks while looking for Perseus's flaws.

"Roy, are you a coward?"

Seeing that Roy did not fight head-on with him, Perseus used provocation to mock him.

"If you are a hero, use your strength to decide the outcome with me, don't hide and dodge my attacks."

"Stupid Perseus, do you think we are having a heroic duel?"

Roy immediately retorted.

"We are now engaged in a war. For the victory of the war, I can do whatever it takes. Because after the war, only the victor can claim to represent justice. Perseus! It seems that you want to finish this war as soon as possible, but I am not in a hurry at all. Because behind us is the city of Athens with a population of tens of thousands. At this moment when we are fighting, the young and strong men in Athens are being mobilized. When both sides are exhausted, hundreds of thousands of young and strong Athenians will rush over with wooden spears and give you Mycenaeans a final blow."

"You damn guy--"

Perseus said angrily with gritted teeth.

"If it weren't for you, Pandion and his sons and the Athenian soldiers would have been beaten back to Athens by us."

"Without me, the Athenians couldn't build a tall concrete wall, and the Athenians would be beaten back to the Acropolis by you."

Roy said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world! And even without me, Pandion can rely on the Acropolis of Athens, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to defeat you invaders with a war of attrition."

Knowing that the war he launched would inevitably fail, Perseus was shaken and his movements showed obvious flaws.

Roy, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately wavered his bronze spear and stabbed Perseus.

Perseus was unable to dodge and was scratched on his right arm by Roy's spear blade, and the bronze spear in his hand fell to the ground.

Roy immediately picked up Perseus's spear with his left hand according to the rules on the battlefield and said.

"Perseus, now you have lost to me, your spear is the first trophy I got, but I will give your spear back to you now."

After saying that, Roy threw the spear at Perseus.

Just when the spear was about to penetrate Perseus' body, Dectis rushed to Perseus and held up a cowhide shield to block Roy's spear.

With a puff!

Because Roy was too powerful, the sharp bronze spear pierced through the cowhide shield and stabbed the arm of Dectes holding the shield.

After Dectes blocked a blow for Perseus, Polydectes also came to Perseus and persuaded him.

"My child, we have lost this war, and now we must leave immediately."

Although Perseus was unwilling to fail, he did not want to be captured or killed.

So Perseus gritted his teeth and said.

"I will remember today's shame! Father! Uncle! You will command the battle next, and I will ask the sailors to prepare to set sail."

After saying that, Perseus left with his left hand covering the wound on his right arm.

Polydectes and Dicetis led the soldiers to fight and retreat to the coast.

Roy, Pandion, and Erechtheus led the Athenian soldiers to chase after them, killing one enemy soldier after another.

When Polydectes and Dicetis fled to the coast with their soldiers, their 800 soldiers had become 500 soldiers.

One hundred Mycenaean soldiers and two hundred Seriphos soldiers became corpses, and stayed forever in the strange land of Athens.

Roy, Pandion, and Erechtheus chased to the coast, and then stopped chasing the enemy, watching the Mycenaeans rowing away from the coast in panic.

After the Athenian soldiers arrived at the coast, Roy suddenly raised his spear and shouted.

"Athenians! Under the protection of the great goddess Metis, we defeated the invaders and won. Long live the great goddess Metis!"

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Roy's followers shouted.

"Long live the great goddess Metis! Long live the great goddess Metis!"

Led by Aries and others, all the Athenian soldiers shouted.

"Long live the great goddess Metis! Long live the great goddess Metis!"

Pandion turned his head and looked at Roy, and couldn't help frowning.

Leading the soldiers to shout slogans, this was obviously something that Pandion or his son Erechtheus could do.

But Pandion did not attack Roy.

This was not only because Roy was a hero who defeated the Mycenaeans, but also because Roy's strength made Pandion jealous.
