I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 106 Mycenaean Princess Danae

The port of Serifos is located on the east side of the island.

The palace and castle of King Polydectes is located on the top of a two-hundred-meter-high hill near the port.

Stretching from the top of the hill to the port, hundreds of houses are densely scattered.

Most of them are wooden houses, and only a few houses close to the palace are built of stone like the palace.

Seeing Roy's fleet approaching the port, the Serifos soldiers guarding the port thought it was King Polydectes and Dicetis returning with soldiers from the expedition, so they were not alert.

It wasn't until it became clear that Roy's fleet was all strange ships, and the sailors on board were all fully armed soldiers, that the Serifos soldiers panicked and ran towards the palace, running towards the Serifos they met along the way. People issue warnings.

Ten large ships rushed abreast to the port coast. Roy first ordered the Eleusinian soldiers to go ashore to assemble, and then ordered to the white sheep beside him.

"Aries! Now Chione and I are going to attack the palace with three hundred Eleusinian soldiers. Fifty of you will stay in the port to protect our ships and prevent the Serifians from escaping by ship."

Although Aries regretted that he could not follow Roy to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, he also knew that staying in the port to protect the ship was an important task, so he nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, priest, as long as we are here, no Serifos will be allowed to approach the port."

After Roy and Chione came ashore, they led three hundred Eleusinian soldiers and rushed to the palace on the top of the hill.

There were about two hundred Serifos soldiers guarding the palace. Because the number was smaller than the invaders, the Serifos soldiers did not leave the palace to fight, but stuck to the palace walls.

Before Roy and others could reach the top of the mountain, Serifos soldiers threw stones down, injuring many Eleusinian soldiers.

"Everyone, please stop rushing!"

Seeing more and more injured Eleusinian soldiers, Loy ordered to Chione.

"Chione, you take the soldiers and hide behind the surrounding houses, and I will attack the palace alone. Wait until the Serifos soldiers in the palace fall into chaos, and then attack the palace."

"You want to attack the palace alone?"

Chione said with wide eyes and worry.

"Although you are a hero [Hundred Enemy], there are about two hundred soldiers in that palace. It is too risky for you to attack the palace alone."

Roy stretched out his right hand and put it on her head, patting her head to comfort her while smiling.

"As a hero, I can not only fight one against a hundred, but at least one against a hundred. Even if I really want to challenge two hundred soldiers by myself, I may not lose. What's more, I just want to trap the soldiers in the palace. Chaos does not mean killing two hundred soldiers by one person.”

After saying that, Roy rushed to the palace on the top of the hill alone.

The palace castle located on the top of the hill has a wall that is three meters high at the highest point and two meters high at the lowest point.

An ordinary person would not be able to climb over the two-meter-high wall and enter the palace without the help of tools.

Because when climbing the wall, you will definitely be attacked by various attacks from the soldiers behind the wall.

As a hero [Hundred Enemies], Roy not only has strength and speed, but also his jumping ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

When Roy dodged one stone after another and rushed to the top of the hill, taking advantage of the gap between the Serifos soldiers behind the wall to move the stones, Roy jumped over a two-meter-high wall.

His body fell inside the wall, and before the surrounding Serifos soldiers could react, Roy swung his bronze war spear, killing the surrounding Serifos soldiers mercilessly, and then rushed towards the wooden door of the palace castle.

If the gate of the castle was opened, the enemy could march straight in and occupy the entire palace, so fifty Serifos soldiers were guarding the gate at this time.

Like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, Roy shouted while wielding his bronze war spear to harvest the lives of Serifos soldiers.

"Stop resisting! I don't want to kill you, I just want to lie on the ground alive."

At first, the Serifos soldiers were still able to besiege Roy without hesitation. However, as more and more comrades fell to the ground and turned into corpses, the Serifos soldiers completely lost the courage to fight against Roy. They either fled in panic or ran away in panic. Get down on the ground and surrender.

When Roy rushed to the wooden door and opened the gate of the palace castle, Chione quickly rushed in with three hundred Eleusinian soldiers to occupy the palace.

Royal palace castle interior.

Loy and Chione brought the Eleusinian soldiers to the hall, and saw fifty Serifos soldiers gathered here to make the final resistance.

Behind the Serifos soldiers, protected were a group of noble women wearing white cotton robes and decorated with golden bronze ornaments.

This group of obviously noble women was led by the beautiful queen wearing a golden tiara.

Six beautiful girls, dressed as unmarried girls, surrounded the queen with fearful expressions, like chicks wanting to be protected by a hen.

"Is she Danae, the wife of Polydectes—the mother of Perseus?"

Looking at the queen who was as young and beautiful as Pandion's wife Zeuxiper, Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Danae is about forty years old, but she still has the youthful beauty of a girl. No wonder the two brothers Polydectes and Dicetis fell in love with her.

"Who are you?"

Feeling Roy's gaze, Queen Danae said calmly.

"Although our Seriphos Island is not strong, my father is the great Mycenean King Acrisius. You dare to attack Seriphos Island, aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Mycenaeans?"

"We have become enemies with the Mycenaeans, so how can we worry about the revenge of the Mycenaeans?"

Roy said with a smile.

"Queen Danae! Your husband Polydectes took most of the soldiers from Seriphos Island to help your son Perseus attack us. I took the soldiers to attack Seriphos Island to avenge Perseus and Polydectes. I was worried that it would take a hard battle to occupy Seriphos Island, but I didn't expect that your husband Polydectes and Dectes had not returned yet."

"So you are our enemy."

Danae frowned and said.

"If you are willing to promise me that you will not harm others, I can order the soldiers to surrender, and I and these children will voluntarily become your prisoners."

"I agree to your request."

Roy did not want to kill the surrendered Seriphos soldiers, so there was no reason to refuse Danae's request.

Hearing Roy's request, Danae immediately said to the soldiers who were protecting them.

"My warriors, the enemy's power is too strong, you don't have to sacrifice in vain, now I order you to surrender as the queen."

As soon as the fifty Seriphos soldiers laid down their weapons, Aries, who was supposed to stay at the port, rushed into the palace anxiously and whispered to Roy.

After listening to Aries' words, Roy said as he left the palace with Aries.

"Khione, now I leave you 100 soldiers to control the palace. If the surrendered Seriphos soldiers want to resist, they must be killed without mercy."
