I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 431 Joining forces to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon

For Han Tili and Tielepin who usurped the throne of his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, Luo Yi was actually very contemptuous.

Because in Roy's view, a hero is only a rebellion against his father-in-law-robbing his father-in-law's throne.

However, Tiliepin was very successful in one thing. He was not only the king who was deified after death in the history of the Hittite Kingdom, but also a god with a higher status.

In Hittite mythology, Tielepin is the queen of the gods in the Hittite kingdom-the son of the sun goddess, and the god in charge of plant harvest.

Even Tielepin's wife, Hartpurna, was deified as the daughter of Aruna, the god of the sea, and the goddess in charge of wild animals.

The Hittite King Mursiri inherited the throne from his elderly grandfather Hattusiri after his father died.

Mursiri has now been on the throne for 20 years.

As Mursiri's brother-in-law, Han Tiri is a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Tiliepin is a young man in his 20s. Judging from Hatepina's introduction to Tiliepin, Tiliepin and Hatepina are not married yet.

If Mursiri married Hatepina to Tiliping, Tiliping would also have the qualifications to compete for the throne.

In the history of another world, both Han Tili and Tielepin were heroes who usurped the throne.

Han Tiri and Tielepin competed with each other for the throne of Mursili, and Roy really wanted to know which of these two heroes would win.

After looking away from Han Tiri and Tielepin, Roy looked at Hatpurna on the throne and said.

"Princess Hartpurna! I am very interested in your proposal to jointly destroy the Babylonian kingdom, so I came here to negotiate with you in person. Now I want to know, what plan do you have for destroying the Babylonian kingdom?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Hartpurna looked at Roy with calm eyes and said.

"In the southwest of the Hittite Kingdom, there is the city-state alliance of the Arzawas, in the northwest there is the tribal alliance of the Paleks, in the east there is the Kingdom of Iswa, a vassal of the Mitanni Kingdom, and in the northeast is the tribal alliance Hayasa Az .In this situation surrounded by enemies, our Hittite Kingdom has no extra troops to occupy the Mesopotamian Plain, so my plan is to attack Babylon, so that all the city-states in the Mesopotamia fear the Hittite Kingdom, Don’t dare to have the idea of ​​attacking northern Syria. After the Babylonian kingdom plunders enough wealth and women, we will give up the occupation of the Babylonian kingdom.”

"In other words, your Hittite Kingdom wants to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom only to consolidate the Hittite Kingdom's rule over northern Syria."

Roy couldn't help showing a bright smile and said.

"Since the Hittite Kingdom does not want to occupy the Babylonian Kingdom, our Athens Empire wants to include the Babylonian Kingdom into the territory, the Hittite Kingdom should have no objection!"

"You want to bring the Kingdom of Babylon into your territory—you have so many troops at your disposal?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"The troops I can use should only be about 1."

"Then I really want to see how you use [-] soldiers to rule over a million people in Mesopotamia."

Hartpurna said with a smile.

"Originally according to my plan, our Hittite Kingdom and your Athens Empire formed a coalition to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom. We can plunder a lot of wealth and women from the Babylonian Kingdom as spoils of war. When the war is over, I can distribute one-third of the spoils to You Athenian Empire. Since you want to rule the Mesopotamian Plains, then take the Mesopotamian Plains as your Athenian Empire's due spoils, and the wealth and women plundered by our Hittite Kingdom belong to our spoils , do you agree with this distribution?"

"can!"

Roy nodded.

"Since we have reached an agreement, let's set a time to attack the Kingdom of Babylon together."

"you--"

Seeing that Roy agreed so simply, Hartpurna looked at Roy suspiciously and said.

"You seem to be more active in destroying the Babylonian kingdom than our Hittite kingdom. Do you really think that you can realize the rule of the Mesopotamian plain?"

"Whether you can succeed or not, you have to try to know."

"What an interesting human being, then I look forward to your performance!"

"Princess Hartpurna! Now we form an alliance to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon. I propose that we attack Telga together in ten days."

"Ten days—I can wait for you for ten days."

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

"Aren't you going to stay and accept the reception? I plan to hold a grand banquet for you, an honored guest, and give you some peerless beauties."

"I'm not interested in parties and beauties."

After Roy left, everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. They couldn't believe that the Hittite Kingdom and the Athens Empire could form an alliance to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom in such a short period of time.

Handiri stroked his beard and said to Hartpurna.

"Princess Hartpurna, the emperor of Athens looks too suspicious. He must have some other purpose for forming an alliance with us so easily."

"Why should you care what he thinks?"

Hartpurna said with a smile.

"The destruction of the Babylonian Kingdom is our plan. Don't tell me that if the Athens Empire doesn't want to form an alliance with us, we will give up the destruction of the Babylonian Kingdom? I can see that this human being is not lying, he really wants to rule Mesopotamia Plain, that's why he agreed to form an alliance with us so simply."

After listening to Hartpurna's words, Tiliepin couldn't help laughing.

"Is the Athenian emperor a lunatic who wants to rule millions of people in Mesopotamia with [-] soldiers? The Akkadians and Amorites, the branches of the ancient Aryans, spent thousands of years, cannot establish a long-term and effective rule in the plains of Mesopotamia, the Athenian emperor will certainly fail at the beginning."

Byblos City.

After returning to the city in three days, Roy immediately mobilized his soldiers, and at the same time sent messengers to Baiyang guarding the Sinai Peninsula, and asked Baiyang to lead [-] soldiers to support.

When entering the Phoenician region, Roy brought [-] soldiers.

After recruiting soldiers in the Phoenician area, Roy's army strength has now reached 3.

Leaving 1 soldiers to stay in the four city-states in the Phoenician area, there are still 2 troops left for Loy to use.

While crossing the Syrian region to the city of Telga, Loi planned to conquer the Amorites in the southern part of the Syrian region and bring the southern part of the Syrian region into the territory of the Athenian Empire.

The northern part of the Syrian region is a steppe watered by the Euphrates River, and the southern part is a highland desert.

It is precisely because the environment in the southern part of the Syrian region is so harsh that the Hittite Kingdom, which occupies the northern part of the Syrian region, has no interest in the southern part of the Syrian region.

The total area of ​​the Syrian region is 18 square kilometers.

Although the southern part of Syria is a plateau desert, it also has an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

If Roy wants to control the southern part of Syria, at least [-] soldiers must be allocated.

The last remaining [-] soldiers were the forces that Loy used to occupy the Mesopotamian plains.

It is obviously unrealistic to use [-] soldiers to rule the millions of people in Mesopotamia.

So in addition to Aries' [-] reinforcements, Roy will call more reinforcements into the Mesopotamian Plains according to the situation.
