I was a priest in the city-state era

The real pirates in the Mediterranean are usually Phoenicians who have both identities as maritime merchants and pirates.

Their armed forces could not only rob ships at sea, but also launch plundering wars in many coastal areas of the Mediterranean.

In addition to the big pirates with powerful armed forces, there are also some people from coastal areas who are pirates, fishermen or farmers at the same time.

These small pirates were not armed enough to wage war and could only rob ships at sea.

If there is no suitable target for robbery, the identity of these young pirates is that of peaceful fishermen or farmers.

The pirate village that Roy wiped out on Milos was obviously a small band of pirates.

At this time in the pirate village.

After the women and children were gathered, fifty young men moved out five bronze tripods, thirty bronze war spears and five thousand kilograms of grain from each house.

After all the belongings were placed in front of Roy, Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"My companions! You have carried out my orders very well, and now I will distribute the spoils to you. You can choose to have a woman, or you can choose to have a hundred catties of grain, or you can choose to have a bronze war spear."

After Roy finished speaking, the teenagers were as excited as if they had been injected with blood.

"I want a woman!"

"Master Priest, I want a woman as a reward."

"I killed two pirates, please let me choose women first."

Seeing that the teenagers all chose women as rewards, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Although you are all young and energetic young men, none of you want food and weapons more?"

After complaining, Roy said loudly.

"Since you all want women, then line up one by one and choose the woman you like."

After Roy finished speaking, Aries was the first to walk up to Roy and asked cautiously.

"Master Priest, can I choose any woman I want?"

Roy nodded and said.

"No matter which woman you choose, she will be your exclusive maid from now on. You can choose with confidence and boldness."

"Then I want this woman."

Aries extends his right hand and points to a young girl who is neither child nor pregnant.

Roy said immediately.

"She is yours now, and you'd better keep her with you and keep her safe. If this woman escapes, I won't assign you a second woman."

Aries happily ran to the young girl and pulled her out from among the women.

Seeing Aries carefully holding the girl's hand, Roy smiled and teased.

"Do you think of her as your wife?"

Aries led the girl to Roy and said with a simple smile.

"Master Priest! For unmarried civilian men like us, it is better to have a young and beautiful maid than to have a wife. After all, the maid can do everything the wife can do, cook, dress and have children. There is nothing the wife can't do. A maid can be completely obedient to her husband. And if she bullies her wife, she will probably be retaliated by her father-in-law or her brother. But if I bully a maid, I will not have any worries. This maid has been with me all her life."

Roy reached out and patted Aries on the shoulder and said.

"You will become my follower in the future. Although I can't guarantee that you will be rich and powerful, your wealth will definitely be enough for you to support two women. So in addition to this maid, you will marry an unmarried girl as your wife in the future, and enjoy being surrounded by women. A wonderful life.”

After Aries left with his maid, a boy about eighteen years old came to Roy, stretched out his right hand and pointed at a girl who had no children and was not pregnant.

"Master Priest, I want this woman."

"It seems that you all want a childless and unpregnant woman! Now she is yours, take her away quickly!"

Under Roy's assignment, more than 40 childless and pregnant women were quickly snatched up by teenagers.

When it was the turn of the forty-seventh boy, he could only choose a woman who was pregnant or raising a child.

Seeing the frustrated look on the boy's face, Roy comforted him.

"If you don't want a woman, you can also choose to ask for a hundred catties of grain or a bronze war spear."

The forty-seventh boy hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and chose a young woman holding her daughter.

The remaining three young men also followed the same example and chose women with daughters.

What surprised Roy was that no boy chose the pirate leader's wife.

Although the pirate leader's wife brought a son with her, she was also the most beautiful young woman among the spoils.

"I want to ask you a question, this woman is so beautiful, why didn't any of you choose her? Is it because she has a son?"

After Roy directly asked his doubts, Aries immediately said.

"Master Priest! Just because this woman is the most beautiful, we think she is the best trophy. Of course, the best trophy should be distributed to the person with the highest status-that is, you, Master Priest."

"It turns out you deliberately left this woman to me."

Roy said with a wry smile when he learned that the pirate leader's wife was treated as his trophy.

"But I have no interest in this woman at all, and I don't want to be her son's stepfather."

Hearing Roy's words, the pirate leader's wife held her child nervously and said.

"Don't hurt my child! If you kill my child, I will die with my child. As long as you don't hurt my child, I will obey any of your orders."

"I said I have no interest in you."

Roy said to the teenagers after rolling his eyes at the wife of the pirate leader.

"Since you have already obtained the spoils, the remaining five bronze tripods, thirty bronze spears and five thousand kilograms of food are all my spoils. Do you have any objections to this?"

In this era, it is a default rule that the leader can get the best and most spoils.

So none of the teenagers refuted Roy.

Seeing that the teenagers all accepted his distribution, Roy said with satisfaction.

"Now everyone, take your women and work together to transport all the spoils back to the ship!"

Hearing Roy's order, the teenagers immediately started to move food, bronze tripods and bronze spears.

Roy walked to the remaining dozen women and said to these pregnant women and women with children.

"You can rest assured, because your situation is a bit special, I will not distribute you as spoils of war. I will take you back to the Athenian tribe and let the leader of the Athenian tribe, Pandion, take you in temporarily, and then distribute you to some men who don't mind you having children."

Hearing Roy's words, all the women breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about the children being hurt.

Roy and fifty teenagers brought the women, children and all the property back to the port. After letting all the women and children enter the cabin, Roy gathered the teenagers and said.

"Now I give you the last order today. You go back to the pirate village, throw all the pirates' bodies into the wooden house, and then burn all the houses in the pirate village."
