Chapter 483 Planning of the Asia Minor Peninsula

Hattusha City.

Palace of the Hittite kings.

Now Roy and Hartpurna are the new owners.

In the resplendent palace hall, Roy was sitting on the golden throne belonging to the Hittite king, looking at the map of the Asia Minor peninsula that he had drawn.

Hakpisa, Nerik, Chalpois——

These three city-states where the Hittites launched a rebellion have been separated from the map of the Hittite Kingdom by Roy.

Looking at the three northern city-states leading to the southern shore of the Black Sea, Roy kept frowning.

The Hittite rebellion was to be expected during Roy's conquest of the Hittite kingdom.

Now Roy is in a dilemma, whether to conquer the three city-states of the Hattites.

Roy has always portrayed himself as the savior of the Hittites, so that the Hittites no longer need to be slaves of the Hittites.

If Roy takes the initiative to conquer the city-state of the Hattites, the character set that Roy created for himself as the "Savior of the Hattites" will collapse.

Just then, Hartpurna brought a group of young and beautiful palace maids to bring the food.

After Hartpurna came to sit down beside Roy, she said to Roy who was concentrating.

"I just received news that Tilipin has conquered a Palek tribe with a population of tens of thousands and married a Palek princess named Anna. Maybe it won't be long before Tilipin will be in the Palek tribe. The territory is established and the country is called the king."

Hearing the news, Roy said with a sigh of relief.

"If I leave the three city-states of the Hittites alone, they will eventually be conquered by Tilepin. In order to prevent the Hittites of these three city-states from being enslaved by the Hittites, I must include them in the territory of the Athenian Empire .”

With the reason to conquer the three Hattite city-states, Roy looked happily at Hartpurna and said.

"Dear Hartpurna, thank you for the good news."

Hartpurna said with a faint smile.

"If you really thank me, don't accept the princess of the Hurits."

"Are you worried that the Hurit princess will take away your power?"

Seeing that Hartpurna did not deny it, Roy said with a serious face.

"Hatepurna! The entire Asia Minor peninsula has an area of ​​50 square kilometers and a population of more than 300 million. It is impossible for me to hand over such a huge territory and population to you to rule. Even if I don't marry the princess of the Hurits , I will also let other people manage the Asia Minor Peninsula with you."

"Then...then you should marry the Hulit princess!"

Hartpurna frowned and said.

"If you find a woman with a better relationship with you to rule the Asia Minor peninsula with me, my authority will definitely be suppressed. The princess of the Hurits came to know you later than I did, and I would rather be her opponent."

Roy hugged Hartpurna's slender waist, hugged her in his arms and comforted her.

"Dear Hartpurna, your worries are unnecessary. I just want other people to rule the Asia Minor Peninsula with you, and I won't let them take away your power. I plan to divide the Asia Minor Peninsula into three parts. Asia Minor The Hittite kingdom in the middle of the peninsula is ruled by you, the Hurit kingdom in the east of the Asia Minor peninsula is ruled by Princess Hurit, and the west of the Asia Minor peninsula is ruled by Princess Arzava."

"Not only the princess of the Hurits, but you also want the princess of the Arzawas?"

"That's right!"

Roy nodded.

"Next, I'm going to conquer the three Hatti city-states, and I'll leave it to you to propose to Princess Arzawa for me."

1599 BC.

end of February.

Roy left Hattusha with an army of [-] soldiers consisting of [-] Hittite soldiers and [-] Hattite soldiers, and headed for the northern Hattite city-state of Hakpisa.

In February on the Anatolian Plateau, the severe cold of winter remains, and unmelted snow and ice can be seen everywhere on the road.

When Roy led the army forward, the moon goddess Selene once again turned into a fully armed human being and came to Roy on a white horse.

Seeing Selene approaching, Roy asked in surprise and surprise.

"Goddess Selene, are you going to incarnate as a human to help me fight?"

"I'm here to spy on you."

Selene said calmly.

"Even without my help, you can conquer the cities of Hakpisa, Nerik, and Chalpois controlled by the Hatti people."

"Spy on me?"

"After the Hattites took control of the cities of Hakpisa, Nerik, and Chalpuwa, they have regarded the goddess of the earth of the Hattites as their patron saint."

Selene said in a serious tone.

"The Hattites' worship of the Earth Goddess must not be revived, so I want to monitor you and make sure that you conquer the three Hattite city-states, and you will re-enshrate my lord sister as the Patron Saint of the Hattites."

"It turns out that you and Goddess Alina were worried that I would accept the Hattian Earth Goddess."

"If she accepts everything you ask, won't you accept her?"

Roy was immediately speechless.

Because Roy knew that the Earth Goddess of the Hattians was willing to obey all of Roy's demands unconditionally, so Roy would definitely accept the Hattites' Earth Goddess.

Hack Pizza City.

When Roy came here with an army of [-], the Hattite governor who controlled the city of Hakpisa sent an envoy, expressing his willingness to submit to Roy.

The number of armed soldiers in Hakpisa City is only 2000 at most.

Roy's army has a ten-fold numerical advantage. Even if the Hattite governor of Hakpisa City is crazy enough to resist Roy, the final result will only be failure.

After receiving the envoy from Hakpisa City, Roy directly stated his request to the envoy.

"If the city of Hackpisa is willing to surrender, I can make the big and small leaders who launched the uprising become businessmen who have no worries about food and clothing. If the city of Hackpiza chooses to resist, the big and small leaders and their families will all be reduced to lifelong slaves."

The messenger brought back Roy's request, and the city of Hakpisa finally surrendered to Roy.

Because of Roy's policy of treating Hattites and Hittites equally, ordinary Hattites did not want to fight Roy.

Although the big and small leaders who control the city of Hackpiza are ambitious, they are not crazy.

Under the circumstances that it is impossible to defeat Roy, accepting Roy's arrangement to become a businessman with no worries is the best result.

After Roy's army took over the city of Hakpisa, Roy and Selene came to the temple in the center of the city together.

The temple was originally dedicated to the Hattian goddess of the earth.

When the Hittites conquered the Hittites, they replaced the statue of the goddess of the earth with the statue of Alina, and changed this temple into the Temple of Alina.

The Hatites revolted and replaced the statue of Alina with the statue of the goddess of the earth, turning the temple back into the temple of the goddess of the earth.

Looking at the statue of the goddess of the earth enshrined on the throne deep in the temple, Selene ordered the soldiers angrily.

"Push down the statue of the goddess of the earth from the throne that belongs to Alina, the goddess of the sun and the earth."

When the soldiers carried out Selene's order, a goddess with a face very similar to Aphrodite and Istanus descended into the temple in the form of a human girl, staring at Selene angrily and said.

"In order to drive me off the throne, you pretended to be a human being. You brazen goddess, do you really want to kill the real owner of this land?"

Selene said without hesitation.

"The real owner of this land is my sister."
