I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 452 Governor Malad Voluntarily Submits
In the history of mankind, the technological innovation of weapons will change the way of warfare every time.

The appearance of iron weapons turned stabbing each other with bronze weapons into slashing each other with iron weapons.

The emergence of muskets turned close combat on the battlefield into long-distance mutual shooting with muskets.

"Iron weapons—"

Iruma Migal looked at Roy's black iron gun, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"Duel! I demand a duel with you. I want to experience for myself what you call an iron weapon."

"Why should I accept your duel?"

"As long as you agree to a duel with me, I will give you the city of Nippur. When your army comes to the city of Enlil, I will also give you the city of Enlil."

Nippur is the holy city of the Sumerians.

The city of Enlil was the capital of the Kingdom of Haiti.

Hearing Iruma Migal's words, Roy said in disbelief.

"Are you going to surrender to me?"

Iruma Migal nodded and said.

"As long as you defeat me in a duel, I will give you the cities of Enlil and Nippur. But I cannot give you the other city-states of the Kingdom of Haiti, and even if I issue an order, the princes who rule these city-states will not Obediently obey."

With a smile on his face, Roy raised his black iron gun and pointed at Iruma Migal.

"You used the cities of Enlil and Nippur as the price for a duel with me, and that is enough."

Seeing Roy accepting the duel, Iruma Migar took the initiative to attack Roy with a bright golden bronze spear.

As the favorite of Enlil, king of the gods in the Kingdom of Haiti, Iruma Migal was also a demigod hero.

Roy dodged Iruma Migal's attack with a solemn face, and then stabbed Iruma Migal with a black iron spear.

Iruma Migal turned around to avoid it, and Roy immediately turned stabs into slashes, tearing a wound on Iruma Migal's arm.

"I see--"

Iruma Migal stepped back for a while clutching his injured arm, and then said with a complex expression.

"Black iron weapons are not only sharper than bronze weapons, but also different from bronze weapons that rely on stabbing. Iron weapons can stab, chop, and sweep."

Roy swung his iron gun at Iruma Migal and said.

"The advantage of iron weapons over bronze weapons is not only the variety of attacks, but also the toughness of the weapon itself. When casting bronze weapons, tin needs to be added. If there is too little tin, bronze weapons will be very soft, and if there is too much tin, bronze weapons will be very soft. Hard and easy to break. Iron weapons don't have these problems, so iron weapons will make bronze weapons obsolete on the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, the blade of Roy's iron spear collided with the blade of Iruma Migar's war spear.

Clang!
The blade of Iruma Migar's spear was split in two by the blade, but the blade of the iron spear remained intact.

Iruma Migar looked at the broken spear blade and said with a wry smile of relief.

"There is such a huge gap between the weapons of our two sides. It is an inevitable result that I will lose to you. This is not a problem of my own ability."

"You are right! If your Kingdom of Haiti also has iron weapons, you will definitely be able to defeat me by relying on the number of soldiers."

"Thank you for comforting me like this!"

Iruma Migal looked at Roy with complicated eyes and said.

"I will take all the soldiers in the city of Nippur and give you the city of Nippur. If you can conquer all the city-states in the Sumerian region, and when your army comes to Enlil, I will give you the city of Enlil. For you."

After speaking, Iruma Migal turned and left with his soldiers.

After watching Iruma Migal leave, Roy brought his [-] troops and [-] captives to the west gate of Malad City, preparing to capture the city.

Before Roy's army attacked the city, the west gate of Malad City was opened from the inside, and then a middle-aged noble man in a purple robe ran out of the city on horseback.

The middle-aged noble came to Roy, and Roy took the initiative to look at him and asked.

"Are you the emissary of the Governor of Malad City?"

"I am the Governor of Malad City in the Kingdom of Babylon."

The middle-aged noble said respectfully.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I have seen how you defeated Iruma Migar's [-] army with [-] cavalry and saved everyone in Malad City. I would like to dedicate Malad City to you and become your loyal vassal."

"You have to surrender to me—"

Roy said with some embarrassment.

"I'll give you a chance to reconsider. Now you must know that there are no nobles in the Athens Empire, so even if you dedicate the city of Marad to me, I will deprive you of your noble status and make you an ordinary commoner. Your horse The status of governor of Ladd City is no longer tenure, and you have at most two six-year terms."

The Governor of Malad City said with a smile.

"I don't think that if the Sumerians or the Kassites conquer Marad, I will be able to keep my status as a nobleman and governor. I have already considered it very clearly. I am willing to become a commoner of the Athens Empire. Please accept me loyalty."

"It's really suspicious for you to voluntarily give up your power and interests like this."

"Actually, I received a letter from Princess Semiramis, and under the persuasion of Princess Semiramis, I decided to hand over the fate of our Amorites to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty treats the Amorites well, my family will lose Some benefits are worth it too."

"Semiramis wrote you a letter?"

"Not only me, but Princess Semiramis also wrote letters to governors of other city-states. Princess Semiramis is both capable and dedicated to your hegemony. She is really a rare and good wife."

Roy nodded.

"I will remember Semiramis' contribution and give her the reward she deserves."

Semiramis wrote letters to persuade the governors of various city-states to submit to Loi, which is indeed a great credit.

But Semiramis acted without authorization, which also made Roy feel unhappy in his heart.

After all, Semiramis, as Roy's woman, was given the status of queen by Roy——

Having made great contributions to Semiramis, Roy had to grant her the status of queen—the meanings of the two are completely different.

What I give you is yours!
You can't take the initiative to fight for what I don't give you——

After finishing these words silently in his heart, Roy said to the Governor of Malad City.

"Governor Malad! Since you surrendered to me on your own initiative, I will give you trust for the time being. Now I will take three thousand cavalry to defeat the Kassites, so I will hand over the five thousand captives to your horses Rad City management. Iruma Migal has already said that he will give me the city of Nippur, and tomorrow you will take [-] Babylonian soldiers to take over the city of Nippur."

"Follow your orders."

The Governor of Malad City immediately bowed his head and said.

"If I fail to fulfill your order, I am willing to accept any punishment from you."

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

After speaking, Roy summoned his [-] cavalry and prepared to rush to Tutubo City, hundreds of miles away.

At this time, Tutubo City was being besieged by the Kasit army.

If Roy fails to arrive in time, the wealth and population of Tutubo City will be plundered by the Kasitites, and the person who will lose the most will of course be Roy.

Because Roy has already regarded all the city-states of the Babylonian Kingdom as part of the Athens Empire.
