I was a priest in the city-state era

The place where Loy and Perseus had dueled yesterday, now stood Loy and Tereus.

Roy raised his bronze war spear with his right hand and pointed it at Tereus and said.

"The Mycenaeans are the common enemies of the Athenians and the Elis, so the Athenians and the Elis do not need to use marriage to solidify their alliance. This is the first time I have seen someone like you fighting me purely for a woman. people."

"The same words will be returned to you!"

Tereus said with a sneer.

"This is also the first time I have seen a stupid guy like you who challenges me just for a woman. If I accidentally kill you in a duel, don't blame me for being too cruel."

At this time, Procne and Philomela finally walked out of the stone house hall and came to Pandion and Zeuxipel to watch the duel between Loy and Tereus for the two of them.

Roy turned to look at Procne and Philomela, and the two sisters immediately looked at Roy with tender eyes.

Seeing Roy's eye contact with Procne and Philomela, Tereus, driven by jealousy, rushed directly to Roy to attack.

Unfortunately, Roy has the blessing of Mnemosyne [predicting the future], so Tereus's sneak attack will not succeed at all.

After dodging Tereus' attack sideways, Loy turned around and brandished his spear to fight back.

A loud bang!

Tereus was worthy of being the favorite of Ares, the god of war and killing, and used his war spear to block Roy's attack at the critical moment.

After the two distanced themselves again, Terius put away his contempt for Roy and said with a solemn expression.

"No wonder you dare to duel with me. It seems that you are indeed very strong."

"Your strength is weaker than I expected."

Roy originally thought that Tereus might be stronger than Perseus.

After actually fighting Tereus, Roy discovered that Tereus' attacks were more fierce than Perseus's, but his strength was slightly weaker than Perseus's, so Tereus's strength was not the same as Perseus's. Up and down.

Since Roy can defeat Perseus, of course he can also defeat Tereus, who has the same strength as Perseus.

"Arrogant guy, it seems you think you can defeat the beloved son of the great god Ares!"

Terrios said with a confident smile.

"It seems that only by defeating you can I make you face reality."

After saying that, Terrios turned into a bolt of thunder and rushed to Roy's side, wielding his bronze war spear and launching a swift and fierce attack.

Roy frowned while dodging Tereus' attack.

Because Tereus completely abandoned his defense while attacking Roy.

This is not the attack method of a duel, but the attack method of fighting for one's life on the battlefield.

"Tereos, do you think I dare not kill you, the king of Elis?"

Roy said coldly while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Since you have the idea of ​​​​killing me, of course I will not show mercy. Not to mention that you are the king of Elis City and the favorite son of the god Ares. Even if you are deified into the biological son of Ares, I will still dare to kill you. about you."

"I'm not so arrogant that I think you dare not kill me, I just think you don't have the strength to kill me."

Tereus said as he launched a violent storm of attacks with his war spear.

"You have tried your best to dodge my attacks and are unable to fight back at me. How can you kill me?"

"Stupid guy! You have too many flaws to count. I didn't fight back immediately. I just didn't want to trade injury for injury with you."

After saying that, Roy dodged Tereus's spear blade while stabbing Tereus with the war spear blade.

At this moment, the flow of time seems to slow down.

Seeing Roy dodge his attack, Tereus wanted to adjust his war spear so that his spear blade could scratch Roy's left arm.

But if he continued to attack Roy, Roy's spear blade would stab him in the heart.

The final result will be that Loy is injured in his left arm by Tereus, and Tereus is killed by Loy.

This is obviously not the result Tereus wants.

So Terrios finally gave up attacking Roy and stepped back to avoid Roy's fatal blow.

When the flow of time returned to normal, Roy's spear blade did not pierce Tereus's heart, but it also cut a foot-long wound from Tereus' right shoulder to the lower left corner.

Seeing that he failed to kill Tereus with one blow, Loy immediately chased after the retreating Tereus, preparing to end Tereus' life.

Just then, Pandion suddenly shouted.

"stop!"

Roy stopped and turned around, looking at Pandion with dissatisfaction.

Pandion looked into Roy's eyes and said expressionlessly.

"Tereos came to the Acropolis as a guest. According to guest etiquette, I have to protect his safety."

Tereus brought his soldiers to the aid of the city of Athens, and his status was undoubtedly a distinguished guest of the city of Athens.

For the sake of the reputation of the city of Athens, Roy really could not let Tereus die in the city of Athens.

Thinking that he would be the future master of the city of Athens, and that the reputation of the city of Athens was his own, Roy could only suppress the idea of ​​killing Tereus immediately, and turned to look at Tereus, whose white cotton robe had been stained red with blood. Rios said.

"Tereos! Do you want to continue? According to the rules of the duel, you have lost to me if you are injured. If you continue, our duel will turn into a life and death fight, and I can kill you reasonably. "

"You hateful guy——"

Enduring the severe pain of the wound, Tereus glared at Roy with hatred and roared.

"I will remember this humiliation today, and I will take revenge on you one day."

Then, Tereus turned to Pandion and said.

"Chief Pandion! Even if you marry one daughter to Roy, you still have another daughter to marry me. For the relationship between Elis and Athens, I ask you to marry one of your daughters to me."

Threat!

Looking at Tereus's appearance like a wounded beast, Pandion knew that Tereus was threatening him.

If he refused to marry his daughter to Tereus, Elis would not only not become an ally of Athens, but also become the mortal enemy of Elis.

Is it to choose to become an ally with Elis-or to choose to become a mortal enemy with Elis?

Pandion turned his head and looked at Procne and Philomela.

Whether to let Procne or Philomela become the victims of the marriage, Pandion could not convince himself.

Because Pandion now understands that Tereus is a man with a violent character. The weak Procne and the innocent Philomela will never be truly happy if they marry Tereus.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Pandion finally said to Tereus.

"Dear Tereus! Seeing that you come to help Athens, I am really willing to be your ally, but I can't sacrifice my daughter to please you, so I won't marry my daughter to you."

"Good! Very good!"

Tereus said as he retreated.

"Since Athens is unwilling to be an ally of my city of Elis, there is no need for me to stay in Athens. Now I will leave your city of Athens and wait until I come to Athens next time-"

Tereus didn't say the rest.
