Chapter 305 Oenomanos, King of Elis

Also in the Mediterranean world.

When the Egyptian region, the Mesopotamian Basin, and the Hittite Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean gave birth to advanced technology and civilization, the people of the Eastern Mediterranean did not spread the advanced technology and civilization to the central and western Mediterranean with a friendly attitude, but regarded those areas with backward technology and civilization as their colonies for plundering property or colonial rule.

For example, Cadmus, who was squeezed out of living space in the Phoenician region, came to the Thebes region of Greece to build a city and become a great ancestor of city building.

As a descendant of the Eastern Mediterranean people, Pelops has the same insights as Cadmus.

For Pelops, even if Luo Yin really dominated the entire Greece and left him no space to build a city and a country in the Greek region, he could go to the western Mediterranean coast to find opportunities to build a city and a country.

So after Luo Yin gave Pelops two choices, Pelops finally chose to surrender and survive.

Although Luo Yin saw through Pelops's thoughts, he didn't care.

If Pelops really had the same strength and luck as Cadmus, and was able to build a city and a country in the backward area of ​​the western Mediterranean, as long as he would not hinder Luo Yin, Luo Yin would not deliberately target him.

After recruiting Pelops and his more than 2,000 soldiers, Luo Yin came to the gate of Yinlis City and said to Oenomanos standing on the city wall.

"King Oenomanos! Now that the war is over, please keep your promise and hand over your daughter Princess Hippodamia and the throne of Yinlis to me."

Hearing Luo Yin's request, Oenomanos said expressionlessly.

"Young man! You have proved that you are a young hero, so you are qualified to be my son-in-law. Now tell me your identity."

"I am Pentheus, King of Thebes!"

"You are the grandson of Cadmus, the founder of the city of Thebes-"

Upon learning Luo Yin's identity, Oenomanos couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

After all, it was impossible to transport troops by sea in this era. Luo Yin brought his troops to Yinlis, but he had to pass through Attica, Corinth and Achain.

So Oenomanos never thought that Luo Yin would come from the distant Thebes.

After coming to his senses, Oenomanos frowned and said.

"Young Pentheus! Now all my sons are dead, so I can't let my daughter Hippodamia marry far away in Thebes. You can marry Hippodamia, or you can rule Yinlis with Hippodamia. If you want to return to Thebes, let Hippodamia rule Yinlis as your queen, and let your child with Hippodamia inherit the throne of Yinlis. The most important thing is that you can't shake the status of the great god of war Ares as the patron saint of Yinlis."

After listening to Oenomanos' request, Luo Yin said with a playful sneer.

"King Oenomaros! You said you would give me the throne of Hippodamia and Yinlis. Do you just want me to be a tool to have children with Hippodamia? Even if you are my cheap father-in-law, I can only tell you that I cannot agree to your requests."

"Do you want someone who is not my grandson to inherit the throne of Yinlis?"

Luo Yin smiled and did not deny it.

Seeing that Luo Yin neither denied nor admitted it, Oenomaros continued to ask.

"Do you want other gods to replace Ares and become the patron saint of Yinlis City?"

Luo Yin still did not deny it.

The two questions just now were obviously Oenomaros' bottom line.

Luo Yin not only wanted to hand over the throne of his family to outsiders, but also wanted to drive Ares off the throne of the patron saint of Yinlis City, Oenomaros said angrily.

"Penthes! I am not only the high priest who serves the great god Ares, but also the son of Ares who is favored by Ares. If you are the enemy of my father Ares, then you are also my enemy. Even if I have to break my promise, I will not give you my daughter Hippodamia and the throne of Yinlis."

"Then I will lead more than 4,000 soldiers behind me to attack Yinlis City. Do you have the confidence to defend the city and win?"

Seeing that Oenomanos was speechless, Luo Yin continued.

"If a war breaks out between us, the result of the war must be my victory."

"In order to repay the favor of my father Ares, I am willing to sacrifice my life to defend Ares."

"In that case-then you die!"

Luo Yin turned his head and said to Pelops.

"Pelops! Now I order you to lead the soldiers to occupy Yinlis City."

Pelops took a deep breath and bowed his head to plead with Luo Yin.

"Great Pentheus! If I can complete your order, I don't ask for any spoils, I just ask you to let me leave with 500 soldiers."

Five hundred soldiers-

It is of course a pipe dream for Pelops to build a city and a country in mainland Greece with such a small number of people.

After all, the invasion of the Mycenaeans promoted the development of technological civilization in mainland Greece.

Even if Cadmus, the founder of the city of Thebes, turned back into a young man, he could not replicate his glorious history of building a city and a country in the Thebes region.

But leaving mainland Greece, Pelops can take 500 soldiers and launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the tribal civilization along the western Mediterranean coast.

For example, the island of Intarch in the Ionian Sea.

Even after three hundred years of development, when Odysseus ruled, Odysseus could only summon 400 soldiers from Intace to participate in the Trojan War, proving that the population of Intace was only a few thousand people.

Three hundred years ago, even if the population of Intace was added up, there might not be 500 people, and they might not have entered the Bronze Age yet.

If Pelops took 500 soldiers to Intace, it would definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack and he could conquer Intace immediately.

If a small island like Intace could not satisfy Pelops' ambition, Pelops could also take 500 soldiers to large islands such as Sicily and Sardinia to gain a foothold.

Looking at Pelops' ambitious eyes, Luo Yin nodded.

Pelops immediately led his soldiers to attack the city of Inlis.

Although the city of Inlis had high walls, its gates were made of wood.

Pelops quickly led his soldiers to break the wooden gate and rushed into Yinlis to fight with the soldiers led by Oenomanos.

When the war ended, Luo Yin's soldiers occupied Yinlis. Luo Yin walked into Yinlis and saw Pelops and Oenomanos kneeling among corpses on the street in front of him.

Pelops's spear pierced Oenomanos' body mercilessly.

Oenomanos's sword also cut Pelops' neck.

Walking to the body of Pelops, Luo Yin smiled and said as he looked at Pelops's eyes.

"Pelops! I will meet your request now and allow you to leave with 500 soldiers."

After that, Luo Yin turned and walked towards the palace.

After Luo Yin left, Pelops slowly closed his eyes.
