Chapter 461 The Patron Saints of the Twelve City-States
Uruk city.

With the help of Gilgamesh, Roy took the greatest city in Sumerian history without bloodshed.

Governor's Palace in Uruk City - the former Uruk Palace.

Roy and Gilgamesh came here, and the governor of Uruk brought a group of nobles to greet Gilgamesh, and looked at Roy who was standing with Gilgamesh with puzzled eyes.

Gilgamesh spoke directly to the Governor of Uruk and the nobles.

"Governor of Uruk! I tell you a sad news. As the hero god of Uruk, I lost to the emperor of the Athenian Empire. For the sake of the people of Uruk from being harmed by the war, and for the goddess Inanna, I have Dedicate the city of Uruk to the Athenian Empire."

lost -

The hero god who has been sung for thousands of years by the Uruk people lost to the human emperor of Athens.

The governor of Uruk and the nobles stared at Gilgamesh in disbelief, obviously unable to accept the failure of the hero god of Uruk.

Looking at the reactions of the governor of Uruk and the nobles, Roy said with a smile.

"Governor of Uruk! Nobles of Uruk! For the sake of your great ancestor Gilgamesh, I can allow you to keep wealth outside of the fields, but you will lose your status and power as nobles in the future." .If you are dissatisfied with this, you can rebel at any time, and the price is that your family will be reduced to lifelong slaves."

After speaking, Roy and Gilgamesh entered the palace together, and the soldiers who followed Roy also took over the entire palace.

Palace hall.

There is a marble throne on the steps deep in the hall.

Gilgamesh stopped at the bottom of the stairs, Roy climbed up the stairs, turned around and sat on the throne overlooking the hall.

After Roy's eyes met Gilgamesh's, Gilgamesh, who was looked down by Roy, smiled brightly and laughed.

"I really miss it! I have forgotten this feeling of being overlooked for thousands of years."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

Gilgamesh asked back.

"When I was still alive as a human being, I was old enough to look down on everything. After I died, I observed human beings from the throne of heroes for 1000 years. I am no longer the ambitious King of Uruk, Gilgamesh. "

"Then I can leave it to you to conquer the cities of Larsa, Ur, Lagash, Gilsu, and Del! As long as you complete these tasks, I will keep your Temple of Gilgamesh , to keep you alive as the Sumerian hero-god."

"Don't underestimate my ability!"

Gilgamesh said confidently.

"You are waiting for my good news in Uruk. I can dedicate these cities to you in a month at most. You just need to send people to take over these cities."

"very good!"

Roy said with satisfaction.

"Gilgamesh, it seems that you will be the first hero god enshrined by the Athenian Empire."

the next day.

Gilgamesh set off with [-] Uruk soldiers, [-] Larsa soldiers, and [-] Ur city soldiers, and completely handed over the city of Uruk to Roy.

In the evening, Roy received the news that Gilgamesh had taken the city of Larsa without bloodshed.

Day three.

Roy receives news that Gilgamesh has taken the city of Ur without bloodshed.

Fourth day.

Iruma Migal, King of Haiti, and the governor of Eridu came to Uruk together.

Palace hall.

Roy received the two of them sitting on the marble throne, and spoke to Iruma Migal on his own initiative.

"Iruma Migal! Are you here to submit to me? But I haven't conquered all the city-states in Sumer yet."

"It's just a matter of time."

Iruma Migar bowed her head respectfully and said.

"Even our Sumerian hero, Gilgamesh, cannot defeat you. The entire Sumerian region will surrender at your feet. Now I will dedicate the city of Enlil to you."

The Governor of Eridu followed suit.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I also dedicate the city of Eridu to you."

"Then I will accept your surrender."

Roy said with a bright smile.

"As a reward for you, I can let you retain the status of the governor, and I can also let you get the agency of the royal family business. Do you want power or wealth?"

Iruma Migal said without hesitation.

"I want wealth."

Governor Eridu hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.

"I choose wealth, too."

"Then you take your family and move to Uruk, and become rich here in the future."

Another five days passed.

Roy received news that Gilgamesh had defeated Governor Lagash and Governor Gilsu, and captured the cities of Lagash and Gilsu.

Now in the Sumerian region, only the city of Del is left that has not yet entered the territory of the Athenian Empire.

Palace hall.

After hearing the news reported by the messenger, Roy couldn't help complaining.

"What happened to Governor Lagash and Governor Gilgamesh? The Sumerian hero god Gilgamesh came to conquer them, but they didn't take the initiative to surrender, but stupidly confronted Gilgamesh. Is it because of worship Ninurta, the god of agriculture and war, let them be as full of martial virtue as the governor of Wenma City?"

As soon as Roy finished complaining, the goddess Inanna descended into the hall in the form of a human girl, looked at Roy with cold eyes and said.

"Humans, you should fulfill your promise now and regard me as the queen of the gods in Sumer. Although Gilgamesh has not yet reached Del City, the governor of Del City has decided to surrender."

Looking at Inanna with a cold expression, Roy said with a smile.

"Now I haven't completely conquered Mesopotamia, so it will take some time before I can divide the territory for you and Aphrodite. Before that, let's discuss the patron saint of Larsa, the patron saint of Ur, Candidates for the patron saint of Enlil City, Eridu City, Lagash City, Gilsu City, and Del City! Goddess Inanna, do you want to be the guardian of the city of Uruk? God, become the patron saint of the eight city-states in the Sumerian region?"

Eight city-states—

Eight city-states! ! !

Even if Inanna was a goddess, she couldn't help but stare at Roy with wide eyes.

"You—you really want me to be the patron saint of these city-states?"

"The male gods who guard these city-states have been expelled. Of course, I will arrange new patron saints for these city-states. If Goddess Inanna is unwilling, I will arrange other goddesses to become the patron saints of these city-states."

"I do! I didn't say I didn't want to!"

Seeing Roy's playful smile, Inanna said while suppressing her excitement.

"You said that there is no free lunch in the world. What price do I have to pay to make me the patron saint of these city-states?"

"I want you to marry me! As long as you agree to marry me, I will make you the patron saint of eight city-states."

"you--"

"Goddess Inanna, I didn't force you to agree. If you don't want to, I believe there will be other goddesses willing to marry me."

Roy's choice is not only his own——

Realizing this, Inanna gritted her teeth and said.

"Winma City! Nippur City! Malad City! Porsipa City! Give me these four city-states, let me become the patron saint of twelve city-states, and I will agree to marry you."
