I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 476
In the far east, rulers don't have to worry about their daughters and sons-in-law competing for the throne.

Because the daughter and son-in-law have no inheritance rights.

A family with only daughters will be considered extinct. As long as the male master passes away, the family property will be divided among brothers and nephews.

Therefore, in the past history, you can see cases where the emperor's distant relatives and nephews inherited the throne, but you can't see the emperor's daughter and son-in-law inheriting the throne.

But in the western world, princesses who are daughters also have the right to inherit, and have caused many wars in the long history.

For example, 3000 years later, the Hundred Years' War between France and Britain stemmed from the marriage between the French royal family and the British royal family, which caused the British king born to the French princess to believe that he had the right to inherit the French throne.

In the city-state era 600 years ago, stories of the princess's husband usurping the throne emerged endlessly.

In order to avoid this kind of thing, the Pharaoh royal family of Egypt engaged in intermarriage within the family, and it is forbidden to marry the princess outside.

Because the Hittite Kingdom was established not long ago, the princess's inheritance rights have not been reduced by law.

It wasn't until Tielepin usurped the Hittite throne that the succession law was promulgated to reduce the princess's inheritance rights to reduce the possibility of the princess's husband usurping the throne.

It's a pity that Tiliepin's succession law is a joke, because Tiliepin himself married the Hittite princess to usurp the throne.

In fact, if you want to prevent the princess and her husband from competing for the throne, the best way is undoubtedly to marry the princess to a commoner or a low-level nobleman.

If the princess is married to a nobleman or a city-state prince, the more noble the princess's husband is, the more powerful he will be in competing for the throne.

Oman pass.

The mountain road where the Hittite army and the Athenian army collided fiercely.

Hearing that Luo Yi said that he wanted to imitate himself, Han Tili's face became very ugly.

Although Han Tiri usurped the throne of his elder brother Mursili, he did not want anyone to follow him, because Han Tiri wanted to leave his throne to his son.

Seeing the change in Han Tiri's expression, Roy joked.

"Hantili! Don't you naively think that others won't follow you? For example, your good son-in-law Zidanta, who is now the husband of your daughter—Princess Hittite, do you think he will follow you? This good father-in-law, take away the throne you want to leave to your son?"

Qidanta hurriedly explained.

"Father, please don't believe his instigation, I will never compete with my brother for the throne."

Will Han Tiri trust Qi Danta?
Qi Danta is a rebellious person who helped his father-in-law Han Tiri usurp the throne——

As long as Han Tili thinks about it carefully, he will understand that his good son-in-law Qi Danta will definitely follow his example to usurp the throne.

Under Roy's instigation, Handyri and Qidanta, who could have been able to deal with Roy together as father and son, immediately turned into their own ghosts.

After Roy launched a fierce attack on Han Tiri and Qidanta, Han Tiri ran away decisively, leaving Qidanta alone to fight against Roy.

Obviously, Han Tiri wanted to use Luo Yi to kill Qidanta.

Without Han Tiri to share the pressure, Zidanta struggled to support under Roy's attack, and his body suffered more and more wounds.

Seeing that Luo Yi really wanted to kill himself, Qi Danta suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother Loy, my wife and Princess Hatepuna are cousins, and we are also relatives! Please don't kill me, I am willing to help you overthrow Hantili and support you to inherit the Hittite throne. My father is Hittite One of the most powerful city-state princes in the kingdom, our private army has—"

Roy interrupted Qidanta's words.

"If your family is not a city-state prince of the Hittite Kingdom, I can consider not killing you. Just because your family is a city-state prince with a private army, I must kill you."

"You bastard, you even killed your own cousin--"

"Your father-in-law Han Tiri killed his uncle Mursili! As Han Tiri's accomplice, you also helped him kill his own cousin."

"Brother Roy, please see that your cousin and nephew—"

puff!

Before Qidanta finished speaking, Roy pierced his heart with the spear blade.

Qidanta stared at Luoy with wide-eyed eyes, and slowly fell backwards.

After killing Qi Danta, Roy scanned the battlefield looking for Han Tiri, intending to send this cousin to the underworld to be with his good son-in-law.

woohoo-

Pieces of snowflakes fell with the cold wind.

Roy did not find Han Tiri on the battlefield, but instead saw heavy snow falling from the sky.

At this time, Han Tiri fled from the battlefield, Qi Danta was killed by Luo Yi, and the Hittite army no longer had the will to fight.

Seeing the heavy snowfall, the Hittite soldiers turned and fled one after another.

Roy did not lead the Athenian army to chase the fleeing Hittite soldiers.

Because the heavy snow came so suddenly, Roy's Athens army was unprepared.

In order to prevent the Athenian soldiers from dying in the snow, Roy ordered the Athenian soldiers to capture more than 300 Hittite soldiers who were injured and could not escape, and then returned to Samar with the Athenian army.

After the human war ended, the goddesses Alina, Selene, Istanus, and Aphrodite also left the battlefield and returned to their respective temples.

Samar city.

Leaving the Oman Mountains and returning to Samal City, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the range of snowfall is only the Oman Mountains at a higher altitude, only light rain falls in Samar City.

While Roy was treating wounded soldiers in Samar City and cremating the bodies of the dead, news of the battle in the Oman Mountains quickly spread to the Kizuwatna area.

The Kizuvatna area was conquered by the Hittite kingdom in just 25 years.

Moreover, there is a single ethnic group, the Cilicians, so the rule of the Hittite Kingdom here is very fragile.

In the history of another world, the Hittite kingdom had ruled the Kizuvatna area for 60 years, and the Cilicians still broke away from the Hittite kingdom when Zidanta usurped the throne.

For the next 160 years, the Cilicians fought tenaciously against the Hittite Kingdom until they were conquered by the Mitanni Kingdom established by the Hurits.

If it were the Yamhad region where the Amorites enslaved the Ebola, perhaps they would not have separated from the Hittite Kingdom in the first place, let alone resist the Hittite Kingdom for 160 years.

Now knowing that the Hittite army in Hantili was defeated by Roy, the Cilicians in the Kizuvatna area immediately launched a rebellion, killing or expelling the governor and nobles sent by the Hittite Kingdom.

The Kizuwatna area covers an area of ​​more than 40 square kilometers and has a population of about [-].

In its heyday, the Hittite army in Handili would certainly be able to suppress the rebellion launched by the Cilicians.

After being defeated by Loi in the mountains of Oman, Hanthiri's army lost thousands of dead and wounded.

Although more than 2 soldiers were not injured, the morale of these soldiers was very low, so Han Tiri could only quickly return to Hattusha with the army.

Two days later.

Knowing that Loi had defeated Hantili, Hartpurna came to Samar from Ararakh.

A messenger was also sent from the city of Adana in the area of ​​Kizuvatna.

Governor's Palace in Samal.

Roy and Hartpurna received the envoys of Adana City in the hall together.

The messenger of Adana City said straight to the point.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Now we Cilicians have expelled the Hittites, and the Kizuvatna area no longer belongs to the Hittite Kingdom. The war between your Athens Empire and the Hittite Kingdom has nothing to do with us Cilicians."
