I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 398 The Last Battle of the Apennine Peninsula

The rule of the Caucasus nomads headed by Amlius over the Etruscans will certainly not be able to effectively rule over 50 Etruscans like the Roy ruled the Athens Empire.

After the Caucasus nomads conquered the Etruscans by force, they exercised indirect rule over hundreds of large and small ethnic groups of the Etruscans, as long as the leaders of these ethnic groups surrendered to Amlius and paid tribute , Amlius will not interfere with the rule of these leaders over their respective ethnic groups.

It is precisely because the Etruscan kings exercised indirect rule that in the history of another world, the Latins who were conquered by the Etruscans were able to establish the city of Rome and the Roman Empire.

If the Etruscan king directly ruled the Latins, the Latin group would be assimilated and disappeared by the Etruscans.

The Latins were assimilated and disappeared by the Etruscans, and naturally the city of Rome and the Roman Empire would not appear.

Since the Latins who were once conquered by the Etruscans in history were able to establish the city of Rome and the Roman Empire, it proves that the Etruscan kings only ruled the ethnic groups they conquered in name.

Hundreds of ethnic groups of the Etruscans could accept the rule of the Caucasus nomads, and of course they could submit to the Athenian Empire.

After Roy led the Athenian army into the Etruscan territory, the leaders of the various ethnic groups of the Etruscans took the initiative to send envoys to surrender to Roy.

As long as Roy does not deprive the leaders of these ethnic groups of their identity and power, it is entirely possible for Roy to become the new ruler of Tuscany without a single soldier.

It's a pity that what Roy wanted was not to rule the Etruscans indirectly through the leaders of each ethnic group, but to rule all the Etruscans with the laws and policies of the Athenian Empire.

So the envoys sent by the leaders of the various ethnic groups did not change Roy's decision to send soldiers to take over these ethnic groups.

If the leaders of these ethnic groups do not resist, they can still go to Athens with their families and some belongings to become rich.

If the leaders of these groups resisted by force, the Athenian soldiers would kill the men of the leader's family, confiscate all the property of the leader's family, and degrade the women of the leader's family into slaves.

After five days.

All the resistance in Tuscany was suppressed, and Roy used 1 soldiers to control an area of ​​20 square kilometers and a population of more than [-] in Tuscany.

Caesar took [-] Sabine soldiers and controlled the Marche area with an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

Although the Etruscan king Amlius was killed by Roy, he was not the only royal.

While the Athenian army controlled Tuscany and Marche, Amrius' sister Aurora, the Etruscan princess, reassembled an army of 2 men.

After hearing the news, Roy led [-] Athenian soldiers on [-] horses and entered the Po River Plain from Tuscany.

Milan.

This is the royal court established by the Caucasus nomads.

After Roy came to the outskirts of Milan with an army of [-], he was surrounded from four directions by an army of [-] commanded by Princess Aurora of Etruria.

Although there is a five-fold difference in the number of soldiers, and Aurora's soldiers have the fighting will to defend their home and country, Roy is not worried that he will lose the war.

Because of the death of Amlius, it has dealt a huge blow to the Caucasus nomads on the Po River Plain.

As long as Roy can capture or kill their princess Aurora alive, they will completely lose the courage to resist.

Before the two armies fought, Aurora, wearing leather armor and holding a bronze spear, came to Roy alone on a horse and said.

"Are you the leader of the Athenians? You have taken the territory in the south of the Po River Plain, why do you want to invade our Po River Plain? As long as you withdraw from the Po River Plain, I am willing to end this war and keep peace with you Athens .”

Roy looked at this beautiful girl who had the same name as Aurora, the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology, and couldn't help but think of Harmonia and Hippolyta.

As a Caucasian race, Aurora should be a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

But Aurora seems to be of mixed race like Amlius, so instead of having blond hair and blue eyes, she has black hair and black eyes like a southern European Caucasian.

It's just that compared with the local girls, Aurora's skin is fairer and more beautiful.

Although the name Aurora belongs to the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology, the ancient Romans did not worship the goddess of dawn.

That is to say, Aurora is not a Roman local god who is confused with Eos, but after the ancient Romans changed the name of Eos to Aurora, they regarded Eos, the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, as the Roman Goddess. The mythical goddess of the dawn, Aurora.

In order to facilitate the battle, this armored female knight has her beautiful long black hair coiled behind her head.

The close-fitting leather armor highlights her graceful figure, and the belt around her waist makes her slender waist particularly attractive.

Roy looked at Aurora carefully, then looked back at her delicate and beautiful face, and teased with a playful smile.

"Princess Aurora! If you really want to end the war, you should lead all the Etruscans to surrender to me. As long as all the ethnic groups in the Apennine Peninsula become the subjects of the Athens Empire, you can end the thousands of years of war in the Apennine Peninsula." coming ethnic war."

"You killed my brother Amrius, and you want me to submit to your Athenian Empire—"

Aurora stared angrily at Roy and said.

"I want to avoid war, but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of war. Now I have five times as many soldiers as you. You must be the loser in this war."

"Your brother Amlius has more than three times as many soldiers as mine. I don't need to tell you his ending!"

Roy's words completely angered Aurora.

Aurora rode back to her own soldiers, and immediately ordered her [-] troops to attack Roy's [-] troops from four directions at the same time.

If Roy's [-]-strong army fought head-on with Aurora's [-]-strong army, even if Roy could win, he would end up paying an astonishing sacrifice.

In order to win the war with the smallest sacrifice, while Aurora ordered her soldiers to attack, Roy also rode alone to Aurora, who was protected by thousands of soldiers, and prepared to use the thief to capture the king first. way to win this war.

Seeing that Roy regarded herself as a target, Aurora asked the soldiers to protect her while praying to Jupiter and Minerva.

"The great sun god Jupiter! The great moon goddess Minerva! Please help me win this war. If we Etruscans are conquered by the Athenians, you will also lose your status as patron saints .”

Accompanied by Aurora's prayers, Jupiter and Minerva descended on the battlefield with huge figures of a thousand meters tall.

Seeing that Roy was rapidly approaching Aurora, and Aurora's soldiers could not stop Roy's progress, Jupiter stretched out his left hand and released a burst of divine power.

After Aurora's personal soldiers were shrouded by Jupiter's divine power, all of these personal soldiers increased their combat power, possessing the strength and speed of a heroic [Hundred Enemies].

After Roy was shrouded by Jupiter's divine power, the divine power in his body was completely suppressed by Jupiter's divine power, causing Roy's strength and speed to decline from the demigod hero level to the great hero level.
