Chapter 242 Returning to Hometown to Inherit the Throne
The vast area of the Xitai Empire also means that the Xitai Empire is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
In addition, the plateau land ruled by the Xitai Empire was barren, and land and population had to be plundered from other places. The history of the Xitai Empire is a thick history of war.
The Kashka people, who are located in the Eastern Black Sea Mountains on the southern coast of the Black Sea, are one of the old enemies that threaten the Xitai Empire from the north.
After hearing Medea asking him to deal with the Kashka people, Luo Yin pinched her cute little chin with his right hand and said.
"Are you making a request to me on behalf of the other you? I didn't expect that you and the other you would have such a close connection."
Medea said calmly.
"We are now in the mythical world of Xitai, and she and I originate from the same god, so we will have a strong feeling for each other."
Before the Trojan War, the western part of the Asia Minor Peninsula only had trade exchanges with mainland Greece.
As an area that nominally submitted to the Xitai Empire and was once conquered by the Xitai Empire, the western part of the Asia Minor Peninsula is obviously part of the Xitai mythological world.
In this land, it is not surprising that Medea and Penthesilea, who originated from the same goddess, have a special connection.
Luo Yin hesitated and said.
"Although I am not interested in getting involved in the hegemonic war between the Xitai Empire and the Egyptian Empire and the Assyrian Empire, I do not mind helping the Xitai Empire. After my combined fleet is formed, I will let them treat the Kashka people as actual combatants. The goal of practice.”
"Brother - let me thank you on her behalf!"
After Medea finished speaking with a smile, she moved her lips towards Luo Yin.
While Luo Yin and Medea were enjoying their world.
Hesione's priests also conveyed oracles to the nobles of Troy, telling them that the goddess Hesione supported Luo Yin to become king, and that Hesione would marry Luo Yin and give Luo Yin the power to rule Troy. Yin Cheng’s legitimacy.
In this world where kingship is divinely authorized, although there are kings who claim to be the son of God or the adopted son of God, it is rare for a king to become the husband of a patron saint.
After all, anyone with a normal IQ would think that the king marries the patron goddess, which is an act of blasphemy against the goddess.
The nobles of Troy City gathered excitedly at the temple. Hesione seemed to have anticipated their reaction and showed up in person to tell the nobles that she would marry Luo Yin.
If the priests of Hesione were threatened by Luo Yin and declared that Luo Yin would become the husband of the goddess, the nobles of Troy would definitely defend the goddess Hesione.
Since it was Hesione who took the initiative to marry Luo Yin, the nobles naturally could not say anything against it and could only accept Luo Yin as the husband of the goddess and the king of Troy with complicated emotions.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these five years, Luoyin not only managed the Kingdom of Colchis and the Kingdom of Troy, turned the Kingdom of Colchis into a grain production base, and turned the Kingdom of Troy into a center of grain trade, but also jointly The fleet was successfully built, making the Black Sea an inland sea dominated by the combined fleet.
The old enemy harassing the Western Taiwan Empire from the northern border became the target of the combined fleet's actual combat training, allowing the sailors of the combined fleet to become warriors with actual combat experience.
Now five years later.
Luo Yin's combined fleet can already enter the Mediterranean from the Black Sea like a ferocious beast emerging from its cage, competing for maritime hegemony with the original maritime hegemons of the Mediterranean.
Kingdom of Colchis.
The city of Kitea.
royal palace.
Luo Yin was sitting on the throne deep in the hall, receiving envoys from Greece.
As the trade between the Kingdom of Colchis and mainland Greece deepened, the city-states in Greece were eager to obtain more food to support the growing population of each city-state.
Luo Yin used the same rhetoric to deal with the envoys from other city-states. After the envoys were all disappointed and left, the envoys from the Calydon Kingdom came to Luo Yin.
"Prince Meleager! On behalf of your father Oeneus, I invite you to return to your hometown, because King Oeneus is old and you are the first heir to the throne."
After listening to the Calydon messenger's words, Luo Yin suddenly thought of something and nodded subconsciously.
"Although I am now the King of Colchis and King of Troy, I do not mind adding the title of King of Calydon. I will immediately return to the Kingdom of Calydon and inherit the throne that belongs to me."
After the Calydonian envoy left with satisfaction, Luo Yin also returned to his palace and told Circe and Medea the news of his departure.
"Why did my brother leave us to inherit the palm-sized Kingdom of Calydon?"
Medea asked Luo Yin full of doubts.
"I heard that the entire Kingdom of Calydon is basically a mountainous area. It is a poor and weak city-state. My brother wants to leave my sister and me in order to inherit a worthless city-state. Could it be that he is the patron goddess of the Kingdom of Calydon? Are you attracting your brother?"
Although in Greek mythology, Meleager, who was both an Argonaut and the leader of the Calydon heroes, and Tydeus, who became an immortal god, were both princes of the Calydon kingdom, but Calydon The kingdom is indeed a weak city-state like the Kingdom of Arcadia.
The real reason why Luo Yin wanted to return to the Calydon Kingdom was obviously not to inherit the throne of the Calydon Kingdom.
Faced with Circe's questioning gaze and Medea's questioning, Luo Yin could only explain.
"I want to return to the Kingdom of Calydon because King Oeneus of Calydon is about to die, and there will be a civil war around the throne of Calydon. Although I have no interest in ruling the Kingdom of Calydon, I must ensure that the throne that belongs to me will not be taken away by others. When I hand over the throne of Calydon to my cheap brother Tydeus, I will come back to be your husband."

Luo Yin made a serious promise, and Circe and Medea agreed to Luo Yin's return to his hometown.
The next day.
Luo Yin took a merchant ship to Greece to return to his hometown.
The port of Kitea.
Circe and Medea stood on the river bank and watched Luo Yin's ship go away, and their eyes were full of reluctance.
Luo Yin stood at the stern of the boat and looked at Circe and Medea. He had a premonition that he might not be able to fulfill his promise and return to Circe and Medea.
"Circe! Medea! Do you have the same premonition as me?"
After the merchant ship loaded with grain entered the Black Sea from the Phares River, Luo Yin came to the bow and looked ahead, recalling the information about the Kingdom of Calydon in his heart.
The Kingdom of Calydon is located west of Delphi.
This area is basically a mountainous area, which is very similar to the Arcadia region of the Peloponnese Peninsula.
In addition, the Calydon region has a deep connection with the original patron saint of the Arcadia region, the hunting goddess Artemis.
Luo Yin wanted to return to the Kingdom of Calydon because in the original destiny trajectory, the Calydon wild boar hunting incident was about to happen in the Kingdom of Calydon.
Meleager, the prince of Calydon, would fall in love with Atalanta, the incarnation of Artemis, at this time, and even pay the price of his life for Atalanta.
Thinking of Meleager's fate of becoming Atalanta's licker, Luo Yin smiled confidently and murmured.
"Now I am Meleager, and I want to see how fate will make me fall madly in love with Atalanta."
