I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 451 The reason why you are bound to fail

boom--

In response to Iruma Migal's prayer, the protector of the Kingdom of Haiti and the king of the gods - Enlil, the patron saint of the cities of Nippur and Enlil, descended on the battlefield with a gigantic figure of a thousand meters tall.

But the gods who came to the battlefield were only Enlil.

Enki, God of Water, Utu, God of Sun, Nanna, Goddess of Moon, Inanna, Goddess of Venus, Ninhursag, Goddess of Earth and Sea, Gula, Goddess of Healing——

These kings of the gods older than Enlil did not come.

Even Ninurta, the god of agriculture and war, and Shera, the god of war, did not appear.

Obviously, the Kingdom of Haiti is also a city-state alliance.

The city-states were nominally subject to the King of Haiti, but in fact the princes of each city-state had great autonomy.

This situation is not happening now. When the Babylonian kingdom of the Amorites conquered the Sumer region, the Sumer region was a state of autonomy for the city-state princes.

Therefore, when Iluma Irum, the ancestor of the Haitian Kingdom, launched a rebellion against the Babylonian Kingdom, ten city-states that broke away from the Babylonian Kingdom suddenly appeared in the Sumer region.

Except for the city of Enlil, the other nine city-states were not conquered by Iruma Irum, but when Iruma Ilum announced the rebellion, the princes who ruled these city-states rebelled together.

Enlil is just a new city.

If there were no miracles, even if all the men in Enlil City died on the battlefield, Iruma Irum would not be able to conquer the nine stubbornly resisting city-states with one city.

Seeing that only one god, Enlil, descended from the Kingdom of Haiti, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Kingdom of Haiti is also self-governed by various city-states. If Roy wants to conquer this loose sand, he should not encounter stubborn resistance.

"Enlil, will you be my opponent?"

Aphrodite summoned a black gun with her right hand, looked at Enlil with a smile and said.

"Now you are the king of the gods in the Kingdom of Haiti. If I defeat you, will all the Sumerian gods submit to me?"

"Arrogant goddess, how dare you challenge a king of gods."

Enlil summoned a golden spear and pointed it at Aphrodite.

"Goddess Aphrodite of the Phoenician region, I know that you are a goddess as powerful as the Venus goddess Inanna. Some ignorant humans do not understand the difference between you and even regard you as the same goddess as Inanna. Inan Na was once the queen of the gods in Mesopotamia, even if you are strong enough to rival Inanna, you cannot defeat me, because the proud and powerful Venus goddess Inanna has bowed her head to me now."

"Oh—do you think I'm an ignorant human being?"

Aphrodite mocked mockingly.

"I heard that Inanna, the goddess of Venus, was seriously injured by Marduk 150 years ago. In order to eliminate the threat of Uruk guarded by Inanna, the Kingdom of Babylon even demolished the cities of Larsa, Uruk and The walls of the city of Ur. You boast that you are stronger than the seriously injured Inanna, which highlights your weakness. Enlil! Even if some ignorant humans regard me and Inanna as the same god, it does not mean that Inanna gets weaker, and I get weaker too."

After speaking, Aphrodite stretched her white wings and attacked Enlil with lightning speed.

While Aphrodite and Enlil were fighting the battle of the gods, Roy was also taking prisoners on the battlefield.

Of the 1000 soldiers sent by Iruma Migal to fight Roy, more than 2000 people were killed, and more than 4000 people fled back.More than [-] people were taken captive.

After Roy handed over the captives to the Babylonian soldiers, he prepared to launch a second round of attack on Iruma Migal.

At this time, Iruma Migal gathered the deserters and restored his strength to more than 1 people.

On the surface, Iruma Migal's army has a four-fold numerical advantage.

In fact, Iruma Migar knew very well that his soldiers had been frightened by the terrifying combat power displayed by Loy's three thousand cavalry.

Facing the strongest unit of arms that surpassed this era for thousands of years - cavalry, Iruma Migal couldn't think of a way to defeat Roy.

After some thought, Iruma Migal took the initiative to shout to Roy.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this is indeed a wrong war. I am willing to give up taking back the city-state that originally belonged to us Sumerians in exchange for our two sides living in peace in the future. I even——I can even surrender to you and help you Dominate the plains of Mesopotamia."

Hearing Iruma Migal's words, Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"My Athenian Empire does not allow nobles to exist. Except for the royal family centered on me, everyone in the Athenian Empire is a commoner. I know that the rulers of the various city-states in the Sumerian region will definitely not voluntarily give up the wealth and wealth they currently have. Power, so I will not accept your submission unless you are willing to allow me to strip you of your power and become a commoner."

"You want to deprive the rulers of various city-states of their wealth and power?"

Hearing Roy's words, Iruma Migal's eyes widened in shock.

Because it was something he didn't even dare to think about.

If Iruma Migar wanted to deprive the rulers of various city-states of their wealth and power, the rulers of these city-states would join forces to overthrow him from the throne.

Before Iruma Migal recovered from the shock, Roy led three thousand cavalry to attack.

Iruma Migal, who came back to his senses, faced the choice of fighting or fleeing, and finally gritted his teeth and chose to fight.

"Brave soldiers of the Kingdom of Haiti! The enemy's cavalry is nothing to fear, we can defeat them by numbers."

If Roy's cavalry did not have the advantages of advanced weapons and advanced equipment, the victory of this war would indeed belong to Iruma Migal.

It's a pity that Iruma Migal, who was stuck in the Bronze Age, couldn't imagine the power gap between the Iron Age and the Bronze Age.

Roy's three thousand cavalry rushed in front of Iruma Migar's army, and there was no suspense about the outcome of this dimensionality reduction strike.

Even if Iruma Migal's soldiers are all brave and fearless, they cannot make up for the insurmountable gap in strength.

not to mention--

It is impossible for Iruma Migal to make his soldiers fearless.

Roy's cavalry really rushed forward, seeing that the attacks of their own soldiers could not harm these cavalry wearing iron armor at all, the soldiers of Iruma Migar quickly lost their morale and fled like headless chickens.

When Roy rushed in front of Iruma Migal, most of the soldiers around him had fled, leaving only some loyal guards to protect him.

"It's a surprise that you didn't escape."

Looking at Iruma Migal, whose expression was full of despair, Roy joked.

"It seems that you want to die on the battlefield."

"I don't understand - why there is such a huge gap between our soldiers."

Iruma Migal looked at Roy with pleading eyes and said.

"Tell me, why can you beat me so easily?"

"Because the Athenian Empire has iron."

Roy explained frankly.

"The weapons we make of iron are sharper weapons than bronze weapons. The armor we make of iron is the strongest armor in the world. We have the best weapons and the best armor in the world, even if you have the advantage, your failure is inevitable.”
