I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 450 Sumerian city-states and gods

Ninurta is the god of Saturn and the god of war. The city of Malad guarded by him is not outstanding in the history of Mesopotamia.

However, Ninurta is not only the patron saint of Malad, but also the patron saint of Lagash and Gilsu in the Tigris River Basin.

As the patron saint of the three city-states, Ninurta has great authority among the gods of the Mesopotamia.

The queen of the gods who once dominated the Mesopotamia—Gula, the goddess of healing who guarded the city of Isin, was also an ally of Ninurta, and was even classified as Ninurta's wife in mythology.

Roy rushed to the city of Malad with [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Babylonian soldiers, and saw that the city had been surrounded by [-] troops from the Kingdom of Haiti from four directions.

Seeing Roy's army approaching the city of Malad, the king of the Haitian Kingdom, Iruma Migal, responded immediately, gathering the [-] troops besieging the city together, and sending envoys to Roy.

Roy negotiated with the Haitian envoy and accepted the request to negotiate with the Haitian king Iruma Miguel.

So before the Athenian army fought the Haitian army, Roy rode alone and Iruma Migal drove the chariot to the center of the battlefield alone.

After the two kings faced each other, seeing that Iruma Migal was also a young king, Roy took the initiative to speak to Iruma Migal.

"King of Haiti, I ask you to give up attacking the city of Malad. Babylonian Princess Semiramis is my fiancée, and I am the legal heir to the throne of Babylon. If your Kingdom of Haiti invades the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon, I will punish you Fight back and retaliate."

"Your request is unreasonable."

Iruma Migal said neither humble nor overbearing.

"From the Persian Gulf to the city of Kish, it belongs to our Sumerian territory. As the king of the Sumerians, I must recover the cities of Malad, Dirbat, and Percy that were taken by the Amorites. Pa and Kish. If you Athenians are willing to take the initiative to leave our Sumerian territory, I will give you great wealth in return."

"That's why we can't agree."

Roy said with a playful smile.

"Iruma Migal, King of Haiti, now that you have committed the crime of waging war against me, I will not only defeat you, but also conquer your kingdom of Haiti as punishment."

"you--"

Iruma Migal said with eyes widened in shock.

"You have no sincerity to negotiate from the very beginning, and you have the ambition to conquer us Sumerians!"

Roy did not deny Iruma Migal's accusation, and nodded with a smile.

"Iruma Migal, thank you for giving me a reason to conquer the Sumerians. When you are my captive, I will set you and your family free."

After speaking, Roy turned and left, returning to his army.

Iruma Migal also drove the chariot back to the Haitian army angrily.

The Kingdom of Haiti was established in the city of Enlil in 1730 BC - that is, No. 20 years after Hammurabi's death.

After 130 years of development, the Kingdom of Haiti seized eleven city-states from the Kingdom of Babylon, namely Eridu, Uruk, Ur, Larsa, Winma, Adab, Isin, La Gesh City, Girsu City, Del City, Nippur City.

The city of Eridu guarded by the water god Enki, the city of Uruk guarded by the goddess of Venus Inanna, the city of Ur guarded by the moon god Nanna, the city of Larsa guarded by the sun god Utu, and Ninhursag, the goddess of the earth and sea The guarded Adab City and the Isin City guarded by the Goddess of Healing, Gula, were once the hegemonic city-states that dominated the Mesopotamia in history.

The city of Wenma guarded by Shera, the god of war, and the city of Lagash and Gilsu guarded by Ninurta, the god of agriculture and war, are also powerful city-states in Sumerian history.

Enlil, the patron saint of Nippur, is regarded as the king of the gods in mythology.

The Kingdom of Haiti established the city of Enlil as its capital, and let Enlil, the god of the earth and air, sit on the throne of the king of the Sumerian gods.

Thinking that there are seven kings of gods among the Sumerian gods, Roy summoned Aphrodite directly before going to war.

"Goddess Aphrodite, if you want the fertile and rich Mesopotamia Plain to be your territory, come and help me win this war."

Following Roy's call, Aphrodite descended from the sky with a gigantic figure of a thousand meters tall, looked at Roy with a smile and said.

"It seems that you have agreed with me to become the master of the Mesopotamian plain, and I will deal with the enemy gods in this war."

Roy said worriedly.

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Sumerian gods?"

"Do you think the army of the Kingdom of Haiti can defeat you with numerical superiority? If you won't lose to the enemy's numerical superiority, I certainly won't lose to the Sumerian gods' numerical superiority."

"Then don't let me down."

After speaking, Roy led three thousand Athenian soldiers to attack.

Roy did not involve five thousand Babylonian soldiers in the attack.

This was not only because Roy did not believe in the loyalty of the Babylonian soldiers, but also because the three thousand Athenian soldiers were cavalry with powerful combat capabilities and advanced weapons. As infantry, the Babylonian soldiers could not cooperate with the Athenian soldiers' attack at all.

Seeing that Roy wanted to use [-] cavalry to defeat his [-]-strong army, Iruma Migar immediately commanded [-] chariots and [-] infantry to fight.

Chariot soldiers are the most powerful arms of this era, and a chariot is usually equipped with a charioteer and two soldiers.

In other words, Iruma Migal sent [-] soldiers to fight Loi's [-] cavalry.

After the two armies collided in the center of the battlefield, the chariot soldiers were first unilaterally massacred by the Athenian soldiers.

Roy's cavalry not only has the advantage that horses are more flexible than chariots, but also has the advantage that black iron weapons are more advanced than bronze weapons, and has the advantage that both knights and horses wear iron armor.

So in this war, Roy's cavalry is completely reducing the dimensionality of Iruma Migal's chariot soldiers.

After the chariot soldiers of a thousand chariots were killed, wounded or surrendered, Roy left [-] cavalry to capture the captives, and Roy led a thousand cavalrymen aggressively towards the [-] infantry.

The [-] infantry of Iruma Migar saw [-] chariots - the most powerful unit of this era was wiped out by Roy's cavalry, and they had already lost their will to fight.

Seeing Roy's cavalry rushing over like wolves and tigers, the five thousand infantry immediately turned and fled.

Seeing this scene, Iruma Migal murmured in disbelief.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? Chariot soldiers are the most powerful armament of this era, and the thousand chariot soldiers that our Kingdom of Haiti has devoted all our efforts to cultivate will be vulnerable to the Athenians—"

Seeing that Roy led a thousand cavalrymen to catch up with the fleeing five thousand infantrymen, and began to kill and capture his own five thousand infantrymen, Iruma Migal came back to his senses and said.

"Sumerian gods! Are we going to be enslaved by foreign Athenians after we get rid of the slavery of the Amorites? I don't want to see the Sumerians being enslaved by foreign invaders, let alone seeing them enslaved by foreign invaders. The gods of the Sumerians are regarded as the kings of the gods in the Mesopotamia. Gods of the Sumerians, please help the Sumerians defeat the foreign invaders.”
