I was a priest in the city-state era

Ninurta is the god of Saturn and the god of war. The city of Malad, which he guards, is not outstanding in the history of the Mesopotamian region.

However, Ninurta is not only the patron saint of Malad, but also the patron saint of Lagash and Girsu in the Tigris River Basin.

As the patron saint of three city-states, Ninurta has great authority among the gods in the Mesopotamian region.

The healing goddess Gura, who once dominated the Mesopotamian region and guarded the city of Isin, was also an ally of Ninurta and was even classified as Ninurta's wife in mythology.

Roy rushed to Malad with 3,000 Athenian soldiers and 5,000 Babylonian soldiers, and saw that the city had been surrounded by 20,000 troops from the Kingdom of Haiti from four directions.

Seeing Roy's army approaching Malad, the king of the Kingdom of Haiti, Iluma Migal, immediately responded by gathering the 20,000 troops besieging the city and sending envoys to Roy.

Roy negotiated with the Haitian envoy and accepted the request to negotiate with the King of Haiti, Iluma Migal.

So before the Athenian army and the Haitian army fought, Roy rode alone on horseback and Iruma Migal drove a chariot alone to the center of the battlefield.

After the two kings met face to face, Roy took the initiative to say to Iruma Migal, seeing that Iruma Migal was also a young king.

"King of Haiti, I ask you to give up attacking Malad. Babylonian Princess Semiramis is my fiancée, and I am the legitimate heir to the throne of Babylon. If your Kingdom of Haiti invades the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon, I will fight back and retaliate against your Kingdom of Haiti."

"Your request is unreasonable."

Iruma Migal said neither servile nor arrogant.

"From the Persian Gulf to Kish, it all belongs to our Sumerian territory. As the king of the Sumerians, I must recover the cities of Malad, Dilbat, Persipa and Kish that were taken away by the Amorites. If you Athenians are willing to take the initiative to leave our Sumerian territory, I will give you huge wealth in return."

"Then there is no agreement."

Roy said with a playful smile.

"King Iruma Migal of Haiti, now you have committed the crime of waging war against me, I will not only defeat you, but also conquer your Kingdom of Haiti as punishment."

"You--"

Iruma Migal said with his eyes wide open in shock.

"You had no sincerity in negotiation from the beginning, and you had the ambition to conquer us Sumerians!"

Roy did not deny Iruma Migal's accusation, and nodded with a smile.

"Iluma Migal, thank you for giving me a reason to conquer the Sumerians. When you become my captive, I will set you and your family free."

After saying that, Roy turned and left, returning to his army.

Iluma Migal also drove his chariot back to the Haitian army angrily.

The Kingdom of Haiti was established in 1730 BC, the twentieth year after Hammurabi's death, by Iluma Ilum, the ancestor of Iluma Migal, in the city of Enlil.

After 130 years of development, the Kingdom of Haiti seized eleven city-states from the Babylonian Kingdom, namely Eridu, Uruk, Ur, Larsa, Umma, Adab, Isin, Lagash, Girsu, Der, and Nippur.

Eridu, guarded by the water god Enki, Uruk, guarded by the Venus goddess Inanna, Ur, guarded by the moon goddess Nanna, Larsa, guarded by the sun god Utu, Adab, guarded by the earth and sea goddess Ninhursag, and Isin, guarded by the healing goddess Gura, were all once hegemonic city-states that dominated the Mesopotamian region in history.

Umma, guarded by the war god Shera, and Lagash and Girsu, guarded by the agriculture and war god Ninurta, were also powerful city-states in Sumerian history.

Enlil, the patron god of Nippur, was even worshipped as the king of gods in mythology.

The Kingdom of Haiti established Enlil as its capital, which made Enlil, the god of earth and air, sit on the throne of the king of Sumerian gods.

Thinking that there were seven kings of gods among the Sumerian gods, Roy summoned Aphrodite directly before the war.

"Goddess Aphrodite, if you want the fertile and rich Mesopotamian plain to become your territory, come and help me win this war."

Accompanying Roy's call, Aphrodite descended from the sky with a huge figure of a thousand meters tall, looking at Roy with a smile and said.

"It seems that you have agreed that I will become the master of the Mesopotamian plain. I will deal with the enemy gods in this war."

Roy said with concern.

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Sumerian gods?"

"Do you think the army of the Kingdom of Haiti can defeat you by relying on the numerical advantage? If you will not lose to the enemy's numerical advantage, I will certainly not lose to the numerical advantage of the Sumerian gods."

"Then don't let me down."

After speaking, Roy led 3,000 Athenian soldiers to attack.

Roy did not let 5,000 Babylonian soldiers participate in the attack.

This was not only because Roy did not believe in the loyalty of the Babylonian soldiers, but also because the 3,000 Athenian soldiers were all powerful cavalrymen with advanced weapons. The Babylonian soldiers, as infantry, could not cooperate with the Athenian soldiers' attack at all.

Seeing that Roy actually wanted to defeat his 20,000 troops with 3,000 cavalrymen, Iruma Migal immediately commanded 1,000 chariots and 5,000 infantrymen to fight.

Chariot soldiers were the most powerful type of soldiers in this era. A chariot was usually equipped with a driver and two soldiers.

That is to say, Iruma Migal sent out 8,000 soldiers to fight against Roy's 3,000 cavalry.

After the two armies collided in the center of the battlefield, the chariot soldiers were first slaughtered unilaterally by the Athenian soldiers.

Roy's cavalry not only had the advantage that horses were more flexible than chariots, but also had the advantage that black iron weapons were more advanced than bronze weapons, and that both knights and horses were wearing iron armor.

So this war was completely a dimensionality reduction attack by Roy's cavalry on Iruma Migal's chariot soldiers.

After the chariot soldiers of the 1,000 chariots were either killed, injured or surrendered, Roy left 2,000 cavalry to capture prisoners, and Roy led 1,000 cavalry to rush towards 5,000 infantry with great momentum.

Iruma Migal's 5,000 infantry saw 1,000 chariots - the most powerful arms of this era were destroyed by Roy's cavalry, and they had long lost their will to fight.

Seeing Roy's cavalry rushing over like wolves and tigers, the 5,000 infantry immediately turned around and fled.

Seeing this scene, Iruma Migal murmured in disbelief.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Chariot soldiers are the most powerful arms of this era. The 1,000 chariot soldiers that our Kingdom of Haiti has cultivated with all its efforts are actually vulnerable to the Athenians-"

Seeing Roy with a thousand cavalry chasing the fleeing 5,000 infantry and starting to kill and capture his own 5,000 infantry, Iruma Migal came back to his senses and said.

"Sumerian gods! After we get rid of the slavery of the Amorites, will we be enslaved by the foreign Athenians again? I don't want to see the Sumerians enslaved by foreign invaders, and I don't want to see foreign invaders worship their gods as the kings of the gods in the Mesopotamian region. Gods of the Sumerians, please help the Sumerians defeat the foreign invaders."
