I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 455 Begins to Conquer the Sumerian Region
The Kingdom of Hana and the Kingdom of Babylon combined had twelve city-states.

There were only 2 soldiers brought by Luo Yi and Aries.

If he wanted to control twelve city-states with [-] soldiers, Roy's troops would definitely be stretched.

Even if it is barely able to control twelve city-states with [-] soldiers, Roy will stop attacking in a short period of time, and will not be able to conquer the kingdoms of Haiti, Kasit, Elam, Assyria and other forces in the Mesopotamia. .

Now the Amorites in the Kingdom of Babylon voluntarily surrendered under the threat of the Sumerians and the Kassites, which made Roy's originally stretched strength sufficient enough to continue the war.

end of november.

Aries came to Babylon with a reorganized army of [-].

Roy came outside the city with 1 cavalry to hand over to Aries, and took over the [-] troops brought by Aries.

"Aries! I have implemented the policy of the Athenian Empire in Babylon, and the cities of Kish, Persippa, Dirbat, Malad, Nippur, and Tutupo will be entrusted to you to implement Athens. The policy of the empire. If there is an unwilling nobleman who wants to rebel, no matter what his status is, you can kill all his family members or degrade him into slaves as punishment."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not let you down."

After the two completed the handover work, Roy took 1 cavalry and [-] infantry to the city of Isin in the Sumerian region, and Aries led an army of [-] to the nearest city of Kish, preparing to fight in the city of Kish. Carry out the policies of the Athenian Empire.

Ising City.

This is the city-state guarded by the goddess of healing, Gura.

400 years ago, the ruler of the city of Isin briefly dominated the Sumerian region, and later the city of Larsa, guarded by the sun god Utu, took away the supremacy of the Sumerian region.

Luo Yi came to the outside of Ising with an army of [-], and the governor of Ising directly sent an envoy to surrender.

Among the many city-states in Sumer, Isin City is only a large city-state with a population of 3, and Isin City has only 3000 soldiers capable of fighting.

Facing Roy's [-] troops, Ising City certainly has no chance of winning.

After Roy negotiated with the Governor of Ising City through an envoy, even though he knew that he would lose his status and privileges as a nobleman, the Governor of Ising City did not change his mind about surrendering, so Roy took down Ising City without bloodshed.

In order to reward the governor of Ising City, Roy retained his governorship.

After reorganizing the [-] soldiers in Ising City, Roy left [-] soldiers in Ising City and headed to Adab City with an army of [-].

Adab City is a city-state guarded by Ninhursag, the goddess of the earth and sea.

In Sumerian mythology, the goddess Ninghursag was regarded as the wife of Enki, the first king of the gods, and the mother of the gods. From this, it can be seen that the city of Adab was a powerful city-state.

About 800 years ago, the city of Adab briefly dominated the Sumerian region.

Roy came to Adab City with an army of [-], and Governor Adab also chose to surrender.

After all, Adab City dominated the Sumerian region 800 years ago.

Now Adab City has a population of just over 3, and only 500 soldiers.

The number of Roy's soldiers is close to half of the population of Adab City. This is obviously a war that must be lost.

The rulers of Isin City and Adab City were willing to surrender to Loy because they already knew that the policy of the Athenian Empire was very good for the common people.

Although nobles will lose their status and power, they can keep their property other than fields in the case of voluntary surrender.

Taking Adab City without bloodshed, Roy reorganized the soldiers in Adab City.

After reorganization, Roy left [-] soldiers in Adab City to guard the city, and then took [-] soldiers to Wenma City.

Wenma City is a city-state guarded by the God of War Shera.

Although in the history of the Sumerians, Wenma City did not establish hegemony, and the god of war Shera who guarded Wenma City did not become the king of the gods in the Sumerian area, but more than 700 years ago, Wenma King Lugal After Zageshi annexed the city of Uruk, he established the Third Dynasty of Uruk with Uruk as its capital, and briefly dominated the Sumerian region.

It is worth mentioning that Wenma City, guarded by God of War Shera, and Lagash City, guarded by Ninurta, God of Agriculture and War, have long been in dispute. Shera, the God of War, and Ninurta are also enemies.

Luo Yi came to Wenma City with an army of [-]. He originally thought that Wenma City would also surrender voluntarily.

Because the strength of Wenma City is not strong, and there are no other city-states to assist Wenma City.

To Roy's surprise, Wenmacheng chose to resist.

Looking at the heavily armed defenders on the walls of Wenma City, Roy couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Wenma City deserves to be a city that worships the God of War Shera, perhaps this is the expression of their abundant martial arts!"

After feeling emotional, Roy personally led the soldiers to attack the city.

Bang Bang!
While Shera, the god of war, appeared in the sky above Wenma City with a height of [-] meters, Roy directly broke the gate of Wenma City with the power of a demigod hero, and rushed into Wenma City with the Athenian soldiers.

Seeing this scene, God of War Shela wanted to release divine power to suppress Roy, and Goddess of Healing Gula and Goddess of Earth and Sea Ninghursag took the initiative to come to Wenma City to stop Shera with their divine power.

"Goddess Gula! Goddess Ninhursag!"

Looking at the two goddesses who came to stop her, Shera complained dissatisfied.

"After your city surrendered, you turned out to be the accomplices of the invaders. Don't you have the dignity of a god?"

Goddess Gula said expressionlessly.

"Since the Athenian Empire did not drive us off the throne, we will be the gods of the Athenian Empire in the future. As the gods of the Athenian Empire, what's wrong with us being your enemy?"

Goddess Ninghursag said with some shame.

"Shera! According to the rules of the gods, we, as the patron saints of the Athenian Empire, have the responsibility and obligation to fight against the hostile gods of the Athenian Empire."

Shera also knew that it was useless to blame the two goddesses.

Blocked by the Goddess Gula and Ninghursag, Shera could only watch Roy's soldiers occupy Wenma City, and then broke into his Shera Temple and overthrew the Shera statue.

The reason why Loi did not overthrow the statues of Gula and Ninhursag in the cities of Isin and Adab is that they are goddesses.

Male gods, including Shera, would be thrown off the throne by Roy without exception.

After completing the occupation of Wenma City, Roy demoted all the nobles including the governor of Wenma City to slaves, and reorganized the [-] surrendered troops in Wenma City.

Because he was worried about a rebellion in Wenma City, Roy left [-] soldiers in Wenma City to manage [-] surrendered troops, and then went to Uruk with [-] troops.

Uruk - This is the city-state guarded by the Venus goddess Inanna.

In the history of the Sumerians, the cities of Uruk, Ur, and Kish were all city-states that established hegemony many times.

It is precisely because Uruk has been dominated many times that Inanna, the Venus goddess who guards Uruk, became the queen of the gods with great authority in Sumerian mythology.

In Sumerian mythology, the Venus goddess Inanna, the moon god Nanna, and the sun god Utu became a closely related triad of stars. The city of Larsa has an alliance.
