Chapter 130 The Argos Region Is Divided Into Two

Luo Yin wanted to change the patron god of Mycenae, and there was not much opposition.

After all, for the common people, Zeus being the patron god of Mycenae would not make their lives better, and Hestia becoming the patron god of Mycenae would not make their lives worse.

For the nobles, no matter whether the patron god of Mycenae is Zeus or Hestia, they cannot claim to be descendants of gods.

Because only the royal family can claim to be descendants of gods and use theocracy to strengthen the authority of the royal family.

Since the change of the patron god of Mycenae will not affect the lives and interests of the common people and nobles, they naturally have no reason to oppose Luo Yin's decision.

In fact, the interests of Mycenae worshiping a new patron god are only affected by the royal family and the abandoned former patron god.

During the Trojan War, Ajax the Great was tortured to death by Pallas Athena when he was fighting with Odysseus for the armor of Achilles. This was because Salamis was originally one of the city-states of the Kingdom of Athens, and the patron saint worshipped was Pallas Athena, who dominated the entire Kingdom of Athens.

Telamon, the grandson of Zeus, became the king of Salamis. He used the king's authority to make Zeus the patron saint of Salamis. Although he was not opposed by the common people and nobles, he was retaliated by Pallas Athena. The eldest son Ajax died in Troy, and the youngest son Teucer settled in Cyprus. Telamon could only die alone.

The cheap cousin Cyperus opposed Troy's decision because Hestia was a virgin goddess, Troy could not claim to be a descendant of gods and achieve the perfect combination of divine power and royal power, and because Mycenae abandoned Zeus, Troy would inevitably become Zeus's mortal enemy.

Kuperius didn't know that Luo Yin defeated Zeus and expelled Agamemnon by his own strength, so Luo Yin didn't need to use the patron saint to control theocracy, nor did he worry about Zeus' revenge.

Mycenae.

Palace Hall.

This was the third day since Luo Yin officially took the throne, and the third day of the banquet.

Luo Yin and Artemeta sat on the throne, tasting the fruits, barbecue and wine handed over by the palace maid while listening to the elders and nobles report the situation.

In the mountainous Peloponnese Peninsula, the plains of the Argos region are one of the three major plains along with the plains of the Sparta region and the plains of the Pylos region.

The Argos region, which produces abundant crops, has a population of about 200,000, and the number of soldiers that can be mobilized in the Argos region is as high as about 20,000.

This is exactly why the first city-state of the Argos region, Mycenae, and the second city-state, Argos, were able to provide 9,000 soldiers to go to Troy during the Trojan War.

As long as Luo Yin becomes the great king who rules the entire Argos region, he can dominate the Peloponnese Peninsula with a huge number of soldiers.

"King Tantalus! Now there is no king in Tiryns and Tiryns. Do you plan to rule Tiryns and Tiryns directly, or let other royal families rule Tiryns and Tiryns?"

After hearing what Kuperius said, Luo Yin came back to his senses and said.

"Aegisthus fled to Tiryns. Let him become the king who rules Tiryns! Tiryns should belong to the descendants of Perseus. I plan to make Artemeta the queen of Tiryns."

As soon as Luo Yin finished speaking, a young noble ran into the hall in panic and said.

"King Tantalus! The latest news came from Argos. Because Mycenae no longer worships Zeus, Prince Diomedes announced that Argos also gave up worshipping Zeus and wanted Pallas Athena to become the patron saint of Argos."

"This is expected."

Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"As the second largest city-state in the Argos region, Argos has always been in competition with Mycenae. When Mycenae was stronger than Argos, Argos was willing to obey Mycenae in worshipping Zeus. Now Mycenae not only failed in the war against Athens, but also changed three kings in a short period of time. Argos will naturally no longer obey Mycenae."

Kupeloius said anxiously.

"Argos's choice to worship Pallas Athena is likely to lead other city-states to follow suit. If we don't respond immediately, half of Argos in the north, from Argos to Corinth, may become Pallas Athena's territory - a staunch ally of Athens that worships Pallas Athena together. Tantalus! If you hadn't abandoned Zeus, Diomedes would never have made Pallas Athena the patron saint of Argos at this time."

"Are you blaming me?"

Luo Yin teased Kuperius with a dissatisfied look.

"The real reason why Argos betrayed Mycenae was that Mycenae's strength was weakened, not because Mycenae no longer worshipped Zeus. If you don't understand this, then you are really stupid enough to make me sympathize with you."

Luo Yin's words left Kuperius speechless.

Seeing his expression, Luo Yin continued.

"You said I should react to the city of Argos. Do you want me to start a war against the city of Argos? If this were a world where gods didn't exist, I could defeat Diomedes without hesitation. But in a world where gods really exist, if I want to defeat Diomedes, I have to defeat Pallas Athena."

"Can't we do anything but watch half of Argos become the territory of Pallas Athena, giving her more authority than she has now?"

"Instead of going to war with Pallas Athena, we can deal with those weaker enemies first. Agamemnon and Menelaos fled to the Yinlis region and will definitely compete with his cousins ​​for the throne of Yinlis. I plan to use this time to conquer Arcadia and Pylos and control half of the Peloponnese."

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Kupoluus' eyes lit up immediately.

With Arcadia and Pylos as the backing of Mycenae, Mycenae can reconquer Argos.

Even if Argos is protected by the powerful Pallas Athena, Pallas Athena, known as the strongest goddess, cannot fight against Hestia, the patron saint of Mycenae, Hermes, the patron saint of Arcadia, and Persephone, the patron saint of Pylos, alone.

Thinking of the Peloponnese Peninsula and the Yinlis and Sparta regions, Kupoluos said with a worried expression.

"Will the Kingdom of Sparta allow us to conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions? If we successfully conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions, will the Kingdom of Athens, the Kingdom of Sparta, and the Kingdom of Yinlis regard us as a threat and form an alliance to deal with us? Perhaps we should propose to Princess Helen for Aegisthus, so that Mycenae and Sparta can form an alliance. With the support of Sparta, we can make the Arcadia and Pylos regions surrender to us directly."

"Have you forgotten that Aegisthus is a humanoid demon?"

Luo Yin glared at Kupoluos with a cold look and said.

"Even if I don't marry Sparta, I can conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions."
