Chapter 266: Heaven's Blessing_3

```

"Eryxis and the Western countries expressed their jealousy and dissatisfaction with Athens in this manner. We helped them expand their cities and gain wealth, yet they repaid us with blood and fire, even sacrificing their own people."

"As of last night, the shameless Western countries even issued a villainous proclamation, attempting to wash away their misdeeds. Because their gods were not as powerful as ours and their countries were not as strong as ours, they sought to destroy, plunder, and dismantle everything we had."

"This was intolerable and unacceptable to any rational and conscientious Athenian. If words could no longer resolve the issue, then Athens must address it in the way that Athenians would, upholding our justice in this world."
