I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 478 You Are the Hittite Princess

In the core area of ​​the Hittite Kingdom, there are more than 120 million Hittites and more than 30 Hittites.

Even if one Hittite does not do any work, there will be four Hittites supporting the Hittite.

Because there are four times as many Hittites as there are Hittites.

If the city-state of the Hittite Kingdom had a population of 5, usually [-] Hittites ruled [-] Hittites.

If there are [-] soldiers in the city-state, usually [-] Hittite soldiers manage [-] Hittite soldiers.

When Han Tiri killed the Hittite king Mursiri and usurped the throne, even the city-state princes and nobles among the Hittites were unwilling to drive Han Tiri from the throne desperately.

Now Roy and Hatepna, as the heirs to the throne of Mursiri, conquered the Hittite Kingdom, the enslaved and oppressed Hattite soldiers certainly would not fight desperately to defend the Hantili throne.

Only the Hittite soldiers were willing to fight desperately to keep their power and wealth.

It's a pity that there are so few of them.

Roy and Hatepna came to fight with more than ten times the army. Even if the Hittite soldiers were unwilling to give up the special power to enslave the Hattites, they would choose to surrender in order to survive.

After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too great, and resistance is doomed to be a meaningless sacrifice.

Tuvanua, Tahuntasa, Randa, Rushna—

These Hittite city-states were conquered by Roy with little resistance.

After conquering these city-states, Roy's military strength not only did not decrease, but became more and more.

Because Roy's policy was strongly supported by the Hatti people.

In order to prevent themselves and their families from being oppressed and enslaved by the Hittites as slaves, all Hattite men have the will to become Roy's soldiers and fight to the death.

After Roy and Hartpurna conquered Pushhanda with an army of [-], the most powerful city-state prince of the Hittite Kingdom, the governor of Kushala City, came to negotiate with Roy and Hartpurna.

Kushala City is the first city-state of the Hittites and one of the two capitals of the Hittite Kingdom.

The governor who ruled the city of Kushala was also a distant cousin of the Hittite royal family, Hartpurna.

Governor's Palace in Pushhanda.

Loy and Hartpurna received the governor of Kushala City in the lobby. The 40-year-old governor walked into the hall and directly reprimanded Hartpurna.

"Princess Hartipna, do you want to destroy our Hittite kingdom? You actually liberated the Hittites from slavery, made the Hittites equal to the Hittites, and distributed the fields to the Hittites. These It is all the wealth obtained by our Hittite ancestors conquering the Hittites, and you have no right to hand over the wealth of all the Hittites to the Hittites."

Facing a series of accusations from Governor Kushala, Hartpurna said expressionlessly.

"Dear uncle! When Han Tiri and his son-in-law Zidanta killed my father to usurp the throne, did you accuse him of that?"

"Why should I blame Han Tiri?"

Governor Kushala asked back.

"Hantili's wife is your aunt, and Hantili's son is your cousin. Although Hantili should not usurp the throne, his son is also a descendant of the Hittite royal family, and the Hittite throne has not been usurped by others Let's go. If the Hittite throne is taken away by someone without royal blood, we will definitely stand up and make things right."

In the history of another world, Qi Danta, the son-in-law of Han Tiri, usurped the throne, and the grandson of Han Tiri did regain his throne with the support of the city-state princes and nobles.

And if Hartpurna denies the right to inherit the throne owned by Han Tiri, then Roy and Hartpurna also have no right to compete for the throne.

Seeing Hartpurna being stunned speechless, Roy said immediately.

"Governor Kushala, tell us why you are here! If you want to surrender to us, I can temporarily retain your status as governor."

"I'm here to let you know where you've gone astray."

Governor Kushala stared angrily at Roy and said.

"If you are willing to correct your mistakes and relegate the Hatti people to slavery, we city-state princes are willing to join hands to help you regain the throne."

"Release the Hattites to slavery—"

Roy said with a playful smile.

"What if I refuse?"

"Then we city-state princes will join forces to deal with you and drive you out of the Hittite Kingdom."

Governor Kushala said coldly.

"The Hittite kingdom belongs to all Hittites, not just the Hittite royal family. If Hartpurna wants to betray all Hittites, then you are the enemy of all Hittites."

Then, Governor Kushala said to Hartpurna again.

"Princess Hartipna! Have you forgotten your identity? You are the princess of our Hittites, not the princess of the Hittites. If our Hittites are defeated or even enslaved by the Hittites, you will still have the present Is it possible that you can betray all the Hittites just to avenge your father Mursiri?"

Hartpurna's face showed a strongly shaken expression, apparently she had been persuaded by Governor Kushala in her heart.

What is the most important thing to avenge his father——

Or is it important to ensure the interests of all Hittites?
"Honey, I was dazzled by the idea of ​​revenge."

Hartpurna said to Roy with a regretful expression.

"Now I'm calming down... I don't think we can harm the interests of all the Hittites because of revenge. Since the city-state princes are willing to join hands to help us avenge, then we might as well..."

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Hatepurna, I once told you - if the Hittite Kingdom is a country where the Hittites enslave the Hittites, then the Hittite Kingdom is doomed to perish. Even if the city-state princes are willing to join forces to help you regain the throne, I I will not give up the idea of ​​​​rescuing the Hattians."

Hartpurna said with an unhappy expression.

"The Hittites are not your kin, so why can't you favor the Hittites for me?"

"cannot!"

"Then I can only part ways with you."

Hartpurna left Roy, walked to Governor Kushala and said.

"I am a princess of the Hittites, and the Hittites are more important to me than the Hittites."

Roy did not keep Hartpurna.

Because it is impossible for Roy to give up managing the Hittite Kingdom with the policies of the Athens Empire for the sake of Hartpurna.

Only by managing the Hittite Kingdom with the policies of the Athenian Empire can Roy make full use of the human and material resources of the Hittite Kingdom.

If the Hittite Kingdom remains as it is——

The human and material resources of the Hittite Kingdom will all fall into internal friction.

Outside the city of Pushhanda.

Hatpurna and Governor Kushala rode two horses to the outside of the city, and hundreds of Hittite knights rushed to greet them immediately.

The person who led the Hittite knights was none other than Tielepin.

Seeing Governor Kushala successfully persuaded Hartpurna, Tilipin said with an excited smile.

"Princess Hartpurna, with you leading us city-state princes, we will definitely defeat Han Tiri and make you the Queen of Hittite."

Hartpurna said calmly.

"You really want to help me regain the throne?"

"of course it's true!"

Tielepin nodded and said.

"After Han Tiri usurped the throne, he actually lost the war between the Hittite Kingdom and the Athenian Empire. Now the city-state princes and nobles are very dissatisfied with Han Tiri."

"That is to say, if Han Tiri wins the war, you will support him to become the Hittite king?"

Hartpurna said with a sneer.

"Now you are against Han Tiri not to avenge my father, but because Han Tiri lost the war."
