I was a priest in the city-state era

It's evening.

Loy looked at Procne and Philomela returning to the Acropolis under the protection of fifty personal guards, and his heart was filled with disappointment.

Because Roy once again faced three thousand Eleusinians alone, this made Roy feel very insecure.

At this moment, a group of sheep bleated and rushed towards Roy's location.

Behind the sheep, there was also a slow-moving herd of cattle.

"That is--"

Roy opened his eyes in surprise and looked carefully, and saw fifty teenagers, including Aries, following the sheep and cattle.

"You are finally here!"

Roy yelled with joy, and then ran towards Aries as fast as he could.

"Master Priest!"

Seeing Roy's running figure, Aries quickened his pace and walked towards Roy.

After arriving in front of Aries, Roy couldn't hide his excitement and said.

"Aries! Now that you are here with me, I can finally sleep peacefully."

Aries asked doubtfully.

"Master Priest, can't you sleep well now?"

"Before you guys come, I have to face three thousand Eleusinians alone. I will definitely not be able to sleep well! After all, I am also an Athenian and the enemy who conquered the Eleusisians."

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

"You are my followers and my true people. Now that you are by my side, I can leave the matter to you and return to the Acropolis to sleep peacefully."

Seeing Roy's expression of fatigue, Aries blamed himself.

"Master Priest, it seems we should come back early. Now Master Priest can leave everything to me, and you must have a good rest. After all, you are different from us. You are a priest who serves the goddess Metis and is a member of the Athenian tribe. One of the important people.”

Seeing the sheep and cattle grazing in the surrounding grass, and the teenagers having to run back and forth to prevent some of the sheep and cattle from escaping from the group, Loy turned around and said.

"Aries! You follow me first and drive the sheep and cattle to Parl Village. Then we build a sheep pen and a cattle pen and drive the sheep and cattle into the pens."

After saying that, Roy took the lead towards Parr Village.

Roy brought fifty teenagers, sheep and cattle to the village of Parr, and worked with the teenagers to build sheep pens and cattle pens out of wood.

Because Roy's performance gained the trust and favor of the Eleusinians, the Eleusinian men from Parr Village spontaneously came to help.

With the efforts of everyone, the sheep and cattle pens were quickly built and the sheep and cattle were driven into the pens.

After Roy and the teenagers sat on the grass to rest, Chione walked up to Roy and said expressionlessly.

"Those are my father's flocks and herds."

"Do you want to claim that you should inherit your father's property and want me to give you the cattle and the herds? I can give you the sheep and the cattle, but they will still be my property. Because now you are mine Slave, everything about you belongs to me.”

Chione glared at Roy and said.

"I just want to tell you that since you get part of my father's property, you should be kind to us Eleusisians."

After saying that, Chione turned around and left with an angry look.

After there were no Eleusinians around, Roy lowered his voice and spoke to Aries.

"Actually, I deliberately angered Chione away because I didn't want the Eleusisians to hear what I said to you next."

Aries and other teenagers immediately came over and listened to Roy's next words with serious expressions.

"Comrades! I hope you can help me manage the 1,500 Eleusisians in Parl Village. This is not a very difficult task. Because most of the food of the Eleusis tribe has been robbed by us. If the Eleusisians want to survive, they can only obey the management of the Athenians. If the Eleusisians choose to escape, they can only survive by defecting to other tribes, but other tribes may not treat them differently. We are better. So as long as we are kind to the Eleusis, they will not choose to escape, because the Eleusis can stay together with their kin. "

After listening to Roy's words, Aries said in agreement.

"What the priest said makes sense. The food that can keep the Eleusis alive is in the hands of us Athenians. As long as we treat the Eleusis better, the Eleusis really have no reason to escape. We will follow the instructions of the priest Please take charge of the Eleusinians, please return to the Acropolis as soon as possible!”

"Not tonight!"

Roy shook his head and said.

"I will stay here tonight to take you on a night tour of Pal and Pendelli villages. Many dangerous things will happen at night, and wild beasts from Parnissa and Pendelli mountains may attack Pal and Pendelli villages. Those Eleusinian men may also attack women under the cover of night. We will do a good job of patrolling tonight. Tomorrow I will recruit one hundred and fifty soldiers in the villages of Par and Pendelli, and let them go out during the day and night. Patrol work at night.”

"Master Priest, are the Eleusisians in the villages of Par and Pendeli managed by you?"

After Aries asked with confusion, Roy shook his head and said.

"I have just said that I am really in charge of only the 1,500 Eleusins ​​in the village of Par. The 1,500 Eleusins ​​in the village of Pendeli are managed by Princess Procne and Princess Philomela. But the two sisters don't know how to manage at all, so they completely follow my advice, which means that the 3,000 Eleusins ​​are actually managed by me."

"The priest is so powerful!"

A teenager couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.

"The population managed by Chief Pandion is actually only the 3,000 people in the Acropolis of Athens. Now the priest is in charge of the same population as Chief Pandion."

Another teenager followed.

"Now the priest has 50 followers. Next, the priest will recruit 300 soldiers from the 3,000 Eleusins. Then the priest will have 350 soldiers, only 150 less than the 500 soldiers of the Athenian tribe."

"How can you new soldiers compare with the veterans of the Athenian tribe?"

Roy said with a smile.

"And the personal guards of Chief Pandion are all elite soldiers who can fight to the death for him. It's good enough that the 300 Eleusinian soldiers I recruit tomorrow don't regard me as an enemy."

In a blink of an eye, day and night alternated, and the time came to the next day.

Procne and Philomela came to Pendeli Village under the protection of fifty personal guards. Roy immediately found the two and proposed the idea of ​​recruiting soldiers in Par and Pendeli Village.

After listening to Roy's words, Procne said with a serious expression.

"Priest Roy, we have just conquered the Eleusinians. Now let them have their own soldiers. Will they resist the rule of us Athenians?"

"The food is in the hands of the Athenians, and the Eleusinians can't resist at all. If you are worried that the Eleusinians will fight against the Athenians again, we can not give the Eleusinian soldiers weapons."

Roy explained patiently.

"In order to protect the safety and order of the villages of Par and Pendeli, it is necessary to recruit soldiers. If we don't recruit Eleusinian soldiers, we can only let the Athenian soldiers protect the safety and order of the villages of Par and Pendeli."
