049 Athenian ambition

The appearance of Xiao Yunyang, the Seris, is really eye-catching in the Greek world. It’s not that the white Greeks have never seen the Seris with black hair, black pupils and yellow skin. It’s that most of the Seris with this appearance are concentrated in the mining area as slaves or engaged in some heavy physical work.

As more and more Cerisnus died of fatigue, their number dropped sharply, and the figure of Cerisnus could no longer be seen among ordinary serfs.

In addition to Xiao Yunyang's appearance, the hundred women in the camp who were fully armed guarded by him also caused great commotion, which was particularly prominent when entering the Athenian city-state!

Xiao Yunyang looked at the Athenian citizens who were almost surrounding him and his group, and understood a little why Connor insisted on landing in the port closest to the Athenian city-state.

In the Athenian city-states, which are recognized as the most "civilized" in the Greek world, there are endless insults and ridicule. If you encounter those barbaric Greek city-states, maybe even Connor, the ambassador of plenipotentiary, will not be able to stop them.

Women have a very low status in the Greek world, which is only half a level higher than slaves, not to mention letting women take weapons. This is not out of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, but the white Greeks think that women do not deserve weapons!

Letting women go to the battlefield is a waste of weapons and equipment, and an abuse of precious fertility machines!

In the Greek white world, women are more like a social resource. In the battle between city-states, it has become the norm for victors to plunder female slaves.

Even the most brave Spartans do not advocate women going to the battlefield, and Spartan women need to exercise for a long time (in order to give birth to strong warriors), their physical fitness is infinitely close to that of ordinary men (which is still incomparable to Spartan men).

Even so, the Spartans only treat women as fertility machines unless the Spartans face a genocide crisis!

In such a society, you can imagine how much disgust it has caused with hundreds of female guards!

Fortunately, Connor is not a small person in the Athenian city-state. Most Athenian citizens know this senior warrior. Under Connor's leadership, there was no sign of crowd interception.

You know, the Athenian citizens on the streets all hold swords and carry shields!

Among them are citizens who have achieved warriors!

Athenian citizens in this other world are divided into two classes. Athenian citizens with warriors and above are qualified to participate in the citizen assembly, but Athenian citizens who are not warriors can still enjoy civil rights.

The ability to give ordinary people such great citizenship is an important reason why the Athenian city-state is recognized by the Greek world as "democracy and freedom".

You should know that in most city-states, ordinary people do not have any privileges.

Even ordinary people have to give way when they meet warriors and warriors!

Amid the noise and insults of Athenian citizens, Xiao Yunyang and his group came to the hall of convention without any danger.

The parliamentary hall of the Athenian city-state is much spacious compared to the three major city-states of Crete, because citizens' congresses are often held here.

However, the Citizens' Congress is just a legislative body, and it is impossible to convene all administrative affairs in daily life, so the cost of doing it is too high.

Therefore, the Citizens' Assembly of Athens City-State elected a deliberative committee responsible for daily affairs. With the concentration of rights, the post of chairman appeared in the deliberative committee.

Now, the chairman of the deliberative committee has developed in the direction of tyrants, because the chairman of the deliberative committee at this time has changed from an electoral system to a lifelong system.

Fortunately, the rights of the Citizens' Congress are still there, and it can restrict the Chairman to a certain extent, making him unable to become a true tyrant.

The Athenian city-state's council was sitting on the high-rise seats in the council hall, looking down at Xiao Yunyang and his 100 female guards from a high place.

Originally, the Athenian city-state only wanted Xiao Yunyang to come in alone, but after being rejected by Xiao Yunyang, he had to allow Xiao Yunyang to come in with his guard.

For this reason, the entire convention hall was surrounded by heavy armored city-state guards.

Xiao Yunyang discovered that the armor on these city-state guards was actually made of pig iron!

Although iron smelting technology has appeared on the Greek Peninsula, the cost remains high, so only weapons are often made of iron materials, and armor still uses bronze.

But the Athenian city-state equipped its own city-state guards with pig iron armor, which undoubtedly shows the huge financial resources it has!

and developed smelting technology.

"Xiao Yunyang, I heard that you and your ethnic group call themselves Han people, and they are not the same ethnic group as the Seris?"

Christini, chairman of the deliberation committee, spoke first.

In the deliberation committee, his rights were almost the same. Without the restrictions of the general assembly, he could have become a dictator like Minos in the city-state of Knossos!

Unfortunately, the Athenian city-state controls too much population, and Cristini is unable to take everyone under his command, and he dare not ban the Citizens' Congress and cause civil strife in Athens!

There were tyrants in the Athenian city-state before, but the outcome was not very good...

Nowadays, Athenian citizens are very vigilant about the harm of tyrants. Except for the war period, no session of the Citizens' Congress has been left behind!

Of course, Cristini can still make the decision about a Gentile exchange incident.

Athenian citizens are far less enthusiastic about external affairs than internal affairs.

"Yes, I am the leader of the Han people, the general of the Han Dynasty. Connor promised me a thousand dinars, but I haven't even seen one now."

"If the Han general is willing to become a friend of the Athenians, let alone a thousand dinars, two thousand dinars will not be a problem!"

"Um?"

Xiao Yunyang raised his eyebrows and stared at Christini with bright eyes.

"The Spartans did not listen to the dissuasion and formed a city-confederate coalition, trying to block the footsteps of Persian orcs at the Hot Spring Pass, but were wiped out.

We Athenians have an obligation to impose sanctions on behalf of this Greek alliance against the Spartans!

The Spartans ruined half of the elites of the Greek world, and they no longer had the need to exist.

And by unifying the Greek world, we can better and faster mobilize the manpower and material resources of the entire Greek world to seek peace with the Persian Empire."

Xiao Yunyang instantly captured the word "peace". Generally speaking, when two countries are at war, the first to propose the concept of peace is often either cowardly or weak!

It seems that the Athenians have been scared by Persian orcs because of the battle at Hot Spring Pass?

Unfortunately, the information is not equal...

"What do you want me to do?"

"It is rumored that the Han general is a powerful summoning spellcaster who can form an army by himself. I wonder if it can..."

Thank you for not giving birth to me, the second five-child Qidian coins.
