Chapter 471 The Plan to Conquer the Hittite Kingdom

Roy's original plan was to take advantage of the civil strife in the Hittite Kingdom to seize the Yamhad and Kizuwatna regions.

Annexing the entire Hittite Kingdom - this is obviously impossible in a short period of time.

However, the appearance of the Hittite princess Hatepna made it possible to realize the plan to annex the entire Hittite kingdom.

If there is no Hartpurna, Roy's invasion of the Hittite Kingdom is likely to make the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom unite against Roy.

Hatpurna became Roy's wife, and Roy, like Hanthiri, had the right to inherit the Hittite throne.

Since Hantili could usurp the throne and become the Hittite king, of course Loi could also seize the throne.

As long as this war turned into a battle for the throne between Loy and Hantili, the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom would have no reason to intervene in the war.

The enemy of Roy has changed from all the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom to Han Tiri alone, and the difficulty of winning this war will plummet.

"The question is - do I really want to let these city-state princes do nothing?"

The city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom were not fools.

If he wanted them to remain neutral in the war between Luo Yi and Han Tiri, Luo Yi must ensure that they would not harm their interests.

Roy wanted to implement the policies of the Athenian Empire in the Hittite Kingdom, and these city-state princes would definitely support Han Tiri.

"To ensure the interests of the city-state princes, I can become the Hittite king as long as I defeat Han Tiri. If I want to implement the policy of the Athens Empire in the Hittite Kingdom, I am the enemy of all the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom—"

After some careful consideration, Roy finally decided to implement the policy of the Athenian Empire in the Hittite Kingdom.

While this would make Loi an enemy of the Hittite kingdom, the Hittite kingdom was not monolithic.

Twenty years ago, the Hittite Kingdom had an uprising against the Hittites.

Although the policy of the Athenian Empire harmed the interests of the city-state princes, it could guarantee the interests of the Hittites who were conquered by the Hittites, and did not do much damage to the interests of the Hittite civilians.

As long as Roy gets the support of the Hittites, he can conquer the Hittite Kingdom.

Because in the Hittite Kingdom, the Hittites who were conquered and enslaved were the largest ethnic group, and the Hittites as the ruling class were a minority group.

Hatpurna's second day in Aleppo.

After breakfast with Hartpurna, Roy revealed his plan.

Although Loy's plan would harm the interests of the city-state princes and nobles of the Hittite Kingdom, Hartpurna didn't care at all.

"My father was killed by Han Tiri, and the city-state princes and nobles didn't unite to eliminate the rebellion—since the city-state princes and nobles don't care about our Hittite royal family, of course our Hittite royal family doesn't need to care about the city-state princes and nobles. "

"Hatpurna! The Athenian Empire will allow the Hittites to be treated equally with the Hittites. Would you object to that?"

"will not!"

Hartpurna shook her head and said.

"The Hittites and the Hittites are our people, and we should treat them equally. It is to take care of the Hittites' feelings that we let the great sun goddess Alina annex the Hattite earth goddess, Be the goddess of the sun and the earth."

This is really gangster logic.

If the Hittites cared about the feelings of the Hattites, the Sun Goddess Alina should not be allowed to annex the Hattite Earth Goddess, but the Hattite Earth Goddess should continue to exist.

The sun goddess Alina annexed the Hattian earth goddess—

Just as the Hittites enslaved the Hittites!
After complaining in his heart, Roy said with a smile.

"Since you don't object to my plan, let's start this war!"

Under Roy's order, [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Ebola soldiers assembled in Aleppo and followed Roy and Hatepna to the city of Ararakh.

The city of Ararach is located on the plain of Antioch.

There are not only fertile and rich lands here, but also wealth brought by maritime trade.

In the history of another world, this place has been a transit point for the silk trade between the East and the West for a long time.

Business travelers from the East will sell their goods to Western merchants here, and let them transship the goods to various civilized areas along the Mediterranean Sea.

The wealthy city of Ararakh is undoubtedly the most powerful city-state in the Yamhad region.

It has a population of more than [-] and can gather tens of thousands of soldiers.

This is why Roy did not attack the city of Ararach with [-] Athenian soldiers before he recruited the Ebola soldiers.

Unlike other city-states that were conquered by the Hittite Kingdom not long ago, Ararakh and Samar have been conquered by the Hittite Kingdom for more than 25 years, so the Hittite Kingdom has a relatively stable rule here.

After entering the plains of Antioch, Roy and Hartpurna approached the city of Ararach with a large army, and at the same time sent envoys in the name of Hartpurna to order the Hittite governor of Ararach to surrender.

The envoy soon brought back the reply from the Governor of Alarach - the city of Alarach was willing to be neutral, and the city of Alarakh would continue to be loyal to the royal family when the battle between Hartpurna and Hantiri for the throne was resolved.

Of course, this is not a satisfactory answer for Roy and Hartpurna.

The army came outside the city of Ararach, and Roy directly launched a siege battle.

While Roy was attacking the city, Hartpurna also shouted to the soldiers defending the city.

"Soldiers of the city of Alarach! I am the Hittite Princess Hatpurna, and I order you to lay down your arms and surrender. I need the strength of the city of Alarach to defeat the usurper Han Tiri, but the governor of Alarakh refused to obey the royal family's orders." Order, he has become an accomplice of Kingslayer Han Tiri."

Now there are three ethnic groups in the city of Allarach.

The first ethnic group was the Ebola, the second ethnic group was the Amorites, and the third ethnic group was the Hittites.

The Hittites have the least number and the highest status, and the Amorites are about the same number as the Eblas, but the status of the Amorites is higher than that of the Eblas.

As the lowest level of enslavement, the Ebola people naturally would not desperately defend the city.

As the main ruling class, the Amorites should have been a group that desperately defended the city.

But the Hittites were pressing on the Amorites, and the Amorites also felt that this was the Hittite city of Ararakh, so the Hittites should try their best to defend the city.

As the highest ruling class, the Hittites also felt that their numbers were too small, so the Amorites and Eblas should guard the city.

Therefore, the enslaved Ebla people were unwilling to defend the city desperately, the Hittites with the highest status were unwilling to defend the city desperately, and the Amorites, who were the middle class-the main ruling class, were unwilling to defend the city desperately.

Roy personally broke the city gate and led the army into the city of Ararach, and the war came to an end.

After occupying the city of Ararach, Roy first reduced the Hittite governor and Amorite nobles to slaves, and then implemented the policy of the Athenian Empire in the city of Ararach.

When the policy of the Athenian Empire allowed the Ebola, Amorites, and Hittites to achieve equality of status and wealth, the Ebola, as the bottom of the enslaved people, immediately became fanatical supporters of the Athenian Empire.

Even some Amorites, who were not considered wealthy, became staunch supporters of the Athenian Empire.

Roy recruited soldiers in the city of Ararach, and got [-] Ebola soldiers and [-] Amorite soldiers.
