Chapter 55 Pandion, who loves his daughter passionately

Inspecting territory - this is a very important task for both tribes and city-states.

Only by patrolling the territory well can we discover enemies invading the territory and then be prepared to deal with them in advance.

If the Athenian tribe attacked the Eleusinian tribe and the Eleusinian tribe discovered the Athenian invasion by patrolling the territory, the Eleusinian tribe could summon all the young and strong men in advance to fight the Athenians by relying on the walls of the station.

In addition, the Eleusis tribe had a commanding geographical advantage and numerical advantage. If the Athenians wanted to conquer the Eleusis tribe, they would have to pay a lot of sacrifices.

If the goddess of fate did not favor the Athenians, even if the Athenians paid a lot of sacrifices, they might eventually lose the war against the Eleusis tribe.

Precisely because the work of patrolling the territory is so important, Pandion, the leader of the Athenian tribe, always patrols the territory with his personal guards.

The sun begins to set in the western sky in the afternoon.

Pandion took Erechtheus and a dozen soldiers to the northeast of the Acropolis Mountain, and saw the foot of Mount Parnisa and the foot of Mount Pendelli. The Eleusinians were busy in full swing, and the men were chopping

The imported trees built the skeletons of wooden houses, and the women covered the wooden houses with woven straw mats to form straw mat roofs and straw mat walls.

Roy was accompanying Procne and Philomela at this time, teaching them how to manage the Eleusinians.

Chione came to Roy to remind him, and then Roy, Procne and Philomela discovered Pandion's arrival.

Roy immediately came to Pandion with Procne, Philomela, and Chione.

"Chief Pandion! It seems that you are not here to see Princess Procne and Princess Philomela, but you are passing by here while inspecting the territory."

Pandion looked at Procne and Philomela behind Roy.

Seeing Procne and Philomela wearing veils to hide their faces, Pandion said with a satisfied smile.

"Procne! Philomela! Have you learned anything from your experience in managing the Eleusisians here?"

Procne nodded and said.

"Father! Now I finally understand how difficult it is for you and your mother to manage an Athenian tribe with a population of five thousand."

Philomela said coquettishly.

"Father! Is it really useful for my sister and I to study management?"

"Silly girl!"

Pandion looked at Philomela with doting eyes and said.

"Everything I do for you will be beneficial to you. In the future, you will marry the leader of a large tribe or the king of a city-state. Once your husband goes to the battlefield, the management of the tribe or city-state will fall on you. If

If you have no experience in managing your people, your tribe or city-state will definitely go into trouble, or even be taken away by others. Now you learn to manage your people, and in the future you can become a qualified leader's wife or city-state queen."

Looking at Pandion who loved his daughter so much, Roy couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Could it be that Pandion is a daughter slave?

The legendary King Pandion of Athens seems to have died of grief after learning of the unfortunate fate of his two daughters.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Pandion turned to Roy and said.

"Priest Roy! I asked you, Procne, and Philomela to take charge of half of the Eleusisians respectively. Why didn't you separate the Eleusisians instead of letting them gather together?"

"Chief Pandion, we have separated the Eleusinians."

Roy pointed with his left hand to the mountain road between Mount Parnisa and Mount Pendelli and said.

"We used this mountain road as a dividing line to divide the three thousand Eleusinians into two villages. The village of Par at the foot of Mount Parnisa and the village of Pendelli at the foot of Mount Pendelli. Each of the two villages has a population of 1,500.

One hundred Eleusinians.”

Pandion observed the Eleusinians carefully and saw that the Eleusinians were indeed divided into two groups. Pandion nodded and said.

"It is indeed good that you arranged the Eleusinians here. In the future, they can not only grow grain and olives around here, but also graze cattle and sheep on the slopes of Mount Parnisa and Mount Pendelli."

After hearing Pandion's words, Chione immediately frowned with dissatisfaction.

Because Pandion obviously wanted the Eleusinians to become farmers or herders who cultivated the land and provided grain and meat for the Athenians.

"Chief Pandion, do you remember the cement I mentioned?"

Roy couldn't help but said at this time.

"After the Eleusinians build the wooden houses where they live, a lot of manpower will be idle. I propose that all the idle manpower of the Athenians and Eleusins ​​be used.

Build a concrete city wall of more than five meters in the area. After this kind of cement city wall is built, even if the number of enemies is ten times more than our soldiers, it will be difficult to break through our fortress."

Now Pandion no longer doubts Roy's inventive ability.

Knowing that the concrete city wall could defend ten times more enemy troops, Pandion immediately nodded and said.

"Priest Roy! If the cement wall you mentioned really has this effect, I will definitely give you a huge reward."

"Chief Pandion! If you really want to reward me, then fulfill my request! I hope you will not use your status as leader to order the Athenians and Eleusins, but make them workers, and you will give them every month

One hundred catties of grain as payment for their labor. I hope to use this method to increase their enthusiasm for participating in the work."

Although Pandion couldn't understand what workers were and why they had to be paid every month, Roy's request was obviously not excessive.

So Pandion hesitated for a moment and said.

"If this method can really improve their motivation, then as you said, I will give them one hundred catties of grain every month as a reward."

Then, Pandion looked at Procne and Philomela and said.

"Procne! Philomela! Now I will continue to patrol the territory. You must return to the Acropolis before sunset, and you must always take the fifty personal guards with you to protect you."

Hearing Pandion's words, Philomela laughed jokingly.

"Father, are you afraid that the Eleusisians will hurt us, or are you afraid that the priests of Loi will hurt us?"

Pandion glared at Philomela and turned away.

Erechtheus did not follow his father's footsteps, but came to Roy, looked at Chione affectionately and said.

"Priest Roy, let's make a deal! I haven't touched Chione's sisters yet. Now I'll trade Chione's two sisters with you in exchange for Chione."

Erechtheus hadn't given up on Chione yet, Roy rolled his eyes and complained.

"Prince Erechtheus, are you dazzled by Chione's beauty? Chione's father and brothers were killed by you and the leader Pandion. If you want to get Chione, aren't you afraid of Chione?

Will Nie kill you for revenge? Chione is not a delicate and weak girl. She is a female warrior who is more powerful than the captain [Ten Enemies]. At first, Chief Pandion didn’t want you to get Chione.

For my painstaking efforts in loving and protecting you.”

After saying that, Roy turned around and left with Chione, leaving Erechtheus in a daze.
