I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 486 Sun Goddess and Thunderstorm Goddess

There are [-] defenders inside the city of Nerik, and [-] reinforcements from the Paleks outside the city.

Although Roy's Athens army has 5000 people, 3000 more than their combined total, this numerical advantage cannot make up for the defensive advantage of the defenders of Nerik City.

The second day when I came to Nerik City.

To secure victory, Loy made a request of his own to Selene.

"Goddess Selene! I hope you can participate in this war and lead [-] soldiers for me to deal with the Paleks."

Hearing Roy's request, Selene couldn't help laughing.

"The purpose of my following you is to monitor you, not to help you fight the war!"

"Don't you want to be an independent patron saint?"

Roy bewitched Selene.

"Now you are just Alina's subordinate god, and all your power and power come from Alina. If you help me win this war, I will make you the patron saint of every city and place, and let you have your own authority."

"Are you—are you trying to provoke my relationship with my sister?"

"One hundred thousand square kilometers!"

Roy said with a smile.

"I guarantee that you will get a fertile and rich territory with an area of ​​no less than [-] square kilometers."

Selene hesitated for a moment, then finally said with a smile.

"Since you have said so, let me help you once!"

Money makes ghosts turn the millstones—

This sentence is really a wise saying!
Even the gods are acceptable for hire if they can afford it.

After reaching a deal with Selene, Roy immediately divided the Athenian army into two. Roy led an army of [-] to attack the city of Nerik, and Selene led an army of [-] to attack the barracks of the Paleks.

Nerik City.

After Roy started attacking the city with an army of [-], the goddess Inara, who guarded the Hatti people, appeared in the sky above the city of Nerik with a height of [-] meters.

Seeing that Roy wanted to use the power of a demigod hero to break down the gate of Nerik City, Goddess Inara said angrily.

"Human, you actually choose to be Alina's accomplice, then you are my enemy."

While speaking, Inara waved her right hand and pointed at Roy.

Rumbling--

A thunderbolt immediately fell from the sky.

Roy dodged in time to avoid being hit by Inara's thunder.

"Goddess Inara—"

Unexpectedly, the goddess Inara, who has the same origin as Hestia, is also a goddess of thunder. Roy looked up at Inara in surprise and said.

"Are you not only the goddess of the earth, but also a god of thunder and rain?"

The interior of the Asia Minor peninsula has a subtropical dry summer climate with an average annual rainfall of [-] millimeters.

In order to meet the needs of the Hatti people, it is normal for Inara to become the god of thunder and rain in charge of rainfall.

The patron saint of the Amorites, Marduk [Zeus Haddad Teshub] was originally the god of thunder and storm, but in the Hittite mythology of another world, he became the god of storm and thunderstorm, which obviously usurped Inara's identity as the Thunder God.

Just like Zeus came to the Argos region of the Peloponnese Peninsula, because the Argos worshiped Hestia as the goddess of thunder, Zeus used the identity of the god of thunder to usurp the authority of Hestia and territory.

If the Hestia worshiped by the Argos was the goddess of storm, Zeus would use the identity of the storm god to usurp Hestia's authority and territory.

"In the long history, I have indeed fulfilled the Hatti people's need for rain and became the god of thunderstorms."

Goddess Inara said with a sneer.

"Today I will use the power of the God of Thunderstorm to prevent you from breaking through the city of Nerik."

Rumbling--

Another thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck at Roy.

After Roy avoided the thunder, dense raindrops fell on Roy's body, and soon turned into a downpour that hindered Roy's soldiers from attacking Nerik City.

Seeing that the heavy rain had made the ground muddy and the walls of Nerik City difficult to climb, Roy widened his eyes helplessly, preparing to let his soldiers retreat.

At this moment, Alina's voice suddenly descended from the sky.

"Inara, don't make useless resistance."

The next moment!

The scorching and dazzling sun pierced the rain clouds and enveloped the city of Nerik.

Winter and spring should have been the rainy season on the Asia Minor peninsula.

In the sky at this time, there was a scorching sun like summer.

Under the scorching sun, not only the rain clouds were dispersed, but also the muddy ground and the wet city walls became dry.

Roy looked at the sun in the sky, and saw Goddess Alina appearing in the sky where the sun was, like a sun bursting with light and heat.

All the light and heat that dispelled the rain clouds and evaporated the rain came from Alina.

"Alina—"

Alina used the power of the sun goddess to destroy her power of the god of thunder and rain, Inara said angrily.

"Are you my natural enemy and nemesis? I want to fight you upright, do you dare to accept my challenge?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

In response to Inara's challenge, Alina immediately fell from the sky.

After Alina landed with a huge figure of [-] meters tall, seeing the huge gap between the two sides, Inara showed a desperate expression on her face.

Seeing Inara's reaction, Alina laughed jokingly.

"Dear Inara, I will give you a fair chance to fight. I will convince you to lose, so you won't have any complaints!"

After finishing speaking, Alina shrunk into a figure with a height of [-] meters.

The two goddesses confronted each other for a while, and Inara took the initiative to summon a black sharp gun to attack Alina and said.

"Alina, I want to wash away the shame of losing to you."

Alina also summoned a black sharp gun, and said with a smile while resisting Inara's attack.

"Dear sister, why don't you want to admit that you can't defeat me? My hometown - the far north has ice and snow and severe cold that you can't imagine. I survived in the ice and snow country, and I have a stronger body and fighting skills than you , so you cannot defeat me."

"Because you are stronger, will I be conquered and enslaved by you, and you will take everything from me?"

Inara said while attacking Alina.

"Alina, give me back what you took from me."

"no!"

Alina refused without hesitation.

"The things I snatched already belong to me. You can use your strength to snatch them back from me, but I won't take the initiative to return them to you."

Bang Bang!
While the two goddesses were fighting, Roy used the power of a demigod hero to break through the gate of Nerik City, and rushed into Nerik City with his soldiers.

If the enemy was the Hittites who treated them as slaves, perhaps the Hittite soldiers in Nerik City would resist to the death.

But Roy was not like the Hittites.

Under Roy's rule, the Hattites and the Hittites had equal status, and no one would treat the Hittites as slaves. Of course, the Hattite soldiers in Nerik City did not have to swear to resist Roy.

So Roy rushed into the city with the Athens army, and the defenders of Nerik City began to surrender on a large scale.

Roy came to the Temple of Inara in the city without encountering any resistance.

Walking behind the statue of Inara worshiped in the open air, Roy pressed the right leg of the statue of Inara with his left hand, and said to Inara before pushing down the statue of Inara.

"Goddess Inara! Although this is unfair to you, the Hittite Kingdom has no place for you. From now on, this will be the eternal territory of Goddess Alina."
