Reversing Greek Mythology

The golden waterway of the Dardanelles, like the Bosporus, is the two throats for trade between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

Tantalus, an immigrant from Crete, was deified in mythology as the son of Zeus who was favored by Zeus because he ruled the city of Sipylos on the east coast of the Dardanelles.

Later, the city of Sipylos was destroyed by the city of Troy, and Tantalus became a sinner and suffered eternal punishment in hell.

Now, as the only city-state that controls the Dardanelles, Troy has accumulated a large amount of wealth and also developed strong military strength.

Even the Xitai Empire, the overlord of the Asia Minor Peninsula, could only make the city of Troy surrender in name but could not directly annex the Troy area because it was beyond its reach.

Troy City has huge potential due to its natural location, and the best choice is to take control of it in your own hands.

Therefore, although Luo Yin does not have the ambition to compete for hegemony now, he does not exclude taking control of Troy City in his own hands.

The envoy of King Laomedon of Troy came to Luo Yin again and informed Luo Yin of Laomedon's choice. Luo Yin immediately ordered two thousand soldiers to prepare for battle.

Laomedon also ordered his sons to mobilize more soldiers from Troy to fight the invaders.

Both sides of Scamandros.

Just when the two thousand soldiers led by Luo Yin and the five thousand soldiers led by Laomedon were about to break out, a gorgeous carriage drove from the city of Troy. On the carriage stood a woman wearing the costume of a priestess. girl.

After the carriage arrived at the center of the confrontation between the two armies, the priestess standing in the carriage said loudly.

"King Laomedon! The goddess Hesione just sent a message from the oracle, asking us Trojans to welcome foreigners in a friendly manner."

Upon hearing the words of the priestess, Laomedon was immediately shocked.

With his wisdom, he could certainly see that Luo Yin's goal was not to annex Troy City, but to make Troy City a vassal.

If Luo Yin was as powerful as the Xitai Empire, Laomedon would not mind surrendering to Luo Yin in name, because facing a powerful enemy and facing the fate of destruction is the stupidest choice.

However, the strength shown by Luo Yin was not strong, and there was no reason for Troy City to surrender.

Although he could not understand Hesione's oracle, Laomedon still sent a messenger to Luo Yin, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Luo Yin.

Luo Yin learned that Hesione's oracle made Laomedon change his decision, and also asked the messenger to tell Laomedon that he was willing to negotiate cooperation with Laomedon.

After Laomedon returned to Troy with the Trojan soldiers, Luoyin ordered the Colchis soldiers to return to the ship. Then Luoyin and Medea entered the city of Troy under the leadership of the Trojan envoys. Come to the Temple of Hesione.

Temple of Hesione, patron goddess of Troy.

Laomedon and his sons are already waiting for Luo Yin here.

Luo Yin and Medea followed the messenger into the temple, and Laomedon immediately came to Luo Yin and said.

"Stranger! Welcome you and your wife to our city of Troy. Now I would like to introduce to you that I am Laomedon, King of Troy, and behind me are my sons."

"I am Meleager, king of Colchis on the east coast of the Black Sea, and prince of the Greek city-state Calydon. This is my wife Medea."

After introducing himself and Medea's identities to Laomedon, Luo Yin looked at the statue of the goddess Hesione deep in the temple and said.

"King Laomedon! Because the great goddess Hesione issued an oracle, allowing both of us to avoid a war. Now we are discussing cooperation under the witness of the goddess Hesione. I guarantee that the content of the cooperation will not be compromised. You are disappointed.”

After the maid of the temple brought the food and wine for the banquet, everyone sat around the table, and Luo Yin began to talk about his combined fleet.

"Now the Black Sea coast is an undeveloped treasure land. As long as we use the Dardanelles Strait to control the trade routes inside and outside the Black Sea, we will get a steady stream of wealth. But to maximize our interests, we must not only protect the We also need to control the Aegean Sea area, so it is necessary to form a combined fleet. With a combined fleet that dominates the sea, we can also use the combined fleet to attack land powers such as the Western Taiwan Empire and the Egyptian Empire, and become a powerful nation. Maritime empire of maritime supremacy.”

After hearing Luo Yin's idea, Laomedon couldn't help but say.

"Meleager! Since our city of Troy is the hub for controlling the Black Sea trade routes, how much benefit can we get? After the formation of the combined fleet, how much control do we have over the combined fleet? From our city of Troy Considering the interests of our country, I think Troy City should get half of the profits and half of the control of the combined fleet. "

"King Laomedon! Based on the interests of your Trojan city, your idea is not wrong."

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"But based on my interests, the benefits I give you are the benefits you deserve. I am the only commander-in-chief of the combined fleet. If Troy City cannot accept my plan, then use war to solve it. differences between us."

A young son of Laomedon immediately said angrily.

"Foreigner! You dare to threaten us with war in our Troy city. Aren't you afraid that we will arrest you?"

"Trojans! If you think that the two thousand soldiers outside the city are the basis for me to launch a war against Troy, you are totally wrong. The two thousand soldiers outside the city are only used to capture Troy. , I can defeat tens of thousands of Troyin soldiers by myself and destroy the Troyin royal family."

"You are so crazy. Do you think you are a demigod or even a god?"

At this time, the sons of Laomedon were enraged and drew the swords from their waists as weapons.

At this moment, Hesione's voice suddenly sounded.

【Stop now! 】

Everyone turned to look at the statue of Hesione, and saw that the statue of Hesione disappeared from the throne. Instead, the beautiful sea goddess Hesione herself appeared on the throne.

Under the excited gazes of the Trojans, Hesione left the throne and walked to Luoyin and said.

"Stranger, we meet again."

Seeing Hesione showing a gentle and sweet smile to Luo Yin, Medea immediately walked between Luo Yin and Hesione and stared at Hesione with extremely fierce eyes.

Luo Yin quickly held Medea in his arms and smiled at Hesione.

"Goddess Hesione, I gave up the war with Troy because of your face."

Then, Luo Yin leaned into Medea's ear and warned her.

"She is also my woman. I hope you can get along well with her."

Medea said with a dissatisfied face.

"Brother, don't you understand why I hate her? If she has nothing to do with brother, I have no interest in taking another look at her."

Hesione didn't pay attention to Medea's hostility towards her, turned to look at Laomedon and said.

"Laomedon! Our guests have identities you can't imagine. For the benefit of the Trojans, I hope you can accept their request."
