Although he was cut from military power, he knew that Minos was suspicious of him, but at the time, with a clear conscience, Altaïr remained loyal to Minos. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the day he took over the defense of the palace, he walked in the palace every day, but Altaïr inevitably dealt with Queen Pacific, because at that time, Minos was ambitious, after Altaïr, he often drove his own expeditions, led the fleet to fight in all directions, leaving Pacifici alone to guard the empty boudoir, and reserved status, whenever he was lonely, Pacifici was only worried that no one had anyone to tell, and it happened to be Altaïr, The ancestors of the two Pacificae were ministers in the same palace back then, and the relationship was very close, and the two families had a good relationship, so after Altaïr entered the palace, every time, but there was something on his mind, Pacifici always called Altaïr to complain, and as the queen, Pacifici was humble and orderly, and did not smile in front of people, regardless of ministers and palace servants, and feared the majesty, and on weekdays in front of her, she spoke only to promise, but every time she was with Altaïr, the queen often smiled and laughed, and in this regard, she was jealous in her heart, but some people inevitably gossiped in private, saying that the queen had an affair with Altaïr. At the beginning of the rumors, knowing that Altaïr and Pacifici had a family friendship, Minos did not think so, but the three of them became tigers, as the rumors intensified, considering that Pacific's appearance was dignified and beautiful, and his temperament was fresh and refined, if it was not for his father's hand-picking, he ordered him to marry himself as his wife, with the relationship between Altaïr and Pacific, but he knew that Pacifici would not become Mrs. Altaïr, and in the end, Minos couldn't help but believe the rumors, but although he hated Altaïr, At that time, in order to calm the turmoil, Minos only ordered Altaïr to serve as the deputy marshal, assisted in the defense of Crete, and transferred him out of the palace, however, in order to fall into a heart disease, later, in the Battle of the Hittites, Minos finally turned his face and killed Altaïr.
It is said that in those days, Crete fought against the Hittites, and it was really for food. Under Minos's reign, the Cretan civilization entered its heyday, and the prosperity of the country was inevitably accompanied by a population boom, at that time, as a trading power, Crete's economic prosperity was supported by overseas trade, at that time, Cretan merchants usually sailed ships, loaded Cretan olive oil and pottery, etc., to and from the Mediterranean, in addition to returning ivory and glass from Egypt, horses and timber from Syria, copper from Cyprus, and marble from the Aegean islands. In addition to silverware and other items to meet the needs of the people, because the Cretan arable land did not produce enough grain to feed the entire population, Cretan merchants would also trade with some farms scattered along the Black Sea coast in exchange for the food necessary for the survival of the Cretans.
Over time, the continuous accumulation of trade finally achieved the Cretan civilization in the Mediterranean dominant position, however, the good times did not last long, with the original living in the Anatolian Plateau Hittites tribes unified, and formed their own country, after that, the Hittites began to expand everywhere, soon, they occupied most of the farms on the Black Sea coast, because there was a grudge between the Hittites and the ancient Egyptians, and dissatisfied with Crete's relations with Egypt, after seizing the farm, the Hittites immediately greatly increased the price of grain transactions with Crete, thinking that this move undoubtedly seriously damaged the interests of Crete, Minos was naturally furiousInstead of allowing the Hittites to control the granary on which the Cretans depended, Minos decided to respond to the Hittites' provocations by force.
