I was a priest in the city-state era

Alalach City.

The current Governor's Palace - the former Royal Palace.

The news that the villages and towns under the management of Alalach City were conquered by Athenian soldiers was constantly coming to the Royal Palace.

The Royal Palace Hall.

Sitting on the throne, Roy listened to the good news and couldn't help but tell Hatepuna beside him.

"Princess Hatepuna, what do you think of our easy conquest of this place? When the Ebla people ruled this area, even though the Amorites were already in their heyday, the Ebla people still stubbornly persisted for hundreds of years. But after the Amorites and the Ebla people lived together in this area, this area was like a bone was pulled out. When the Hittites came, they surrendered to the Hittites, when the Hurrians came, they surrendered to the Hurrians, and when the Egyptians came, they surrendered to the Egyptians - why do you think this is?"

"Is it because the Ebla people and the Amorites can't work together to deal with foreign enemies?"

"Why can't the Ebla people and the Amorites work together?"

"This is because-"

Before she finished speaking, Hatepuna noticed something wrong.

Roy said on behalf of Hatepuna.

"The Ebla and the Amorites cannot work together because the Ebla are enslaved and exploited, and the current Yamhad region is not worth their desperate protection. For the Ebla, since the Amorites enjoy power and wealth, the Amorites should also fight for the Yamhad region, because the things they robbed are not worth cherishing. If a piece of land has only a single ethnic group, it is the most difficult to conquer such a land. If a piece of land has multiple ethnic groups, it is the easiest to conquer such a land."

In the history of another world, there were hundreds of millions of people in the late Ming Dynasty, but they were conquered and enslaved by the Houjin with a population of millions, because there were too many ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty.

The number of lower-class civilians who were enslaved and exploited was the largest, followed by the gentry class of the dog religion, the corrupt and decadent princes and ministers, and the royal family who were raised like pigsties-

Facing the end of the dynasty, who should do everything to turn the tide and save the Ming Dynasty?

The largest number of lower-class civilians can shout twice on the battlefield and it will be worthy of the Ming Dynasty.

The ruling class who enjoys power and wealth should undoubtedly do everything to turn the tide.

Unfortunately, these ruling classes surrendered first.

Because in the era of monopolizing education, even if the Later Jin ruled the world, these ruling classes were needed as accomplices to maintain their rule.

So the largest number of civilians did not have the obligation to defend desperately, and had the responsibility and obligation to choose to surrender and become accomplices-

"Are you talking about the Ebla and Amorites, or are you talking about us Hittites and Hattites?"

Hatepna said with an unhappy expression.

"Our Hittite Kingdom is the strongest kingdom in this area, and we will not be easily conquered by you like the Ebla and Amorites."

"The Hittite Kingdom is the kingdom of the Hittites, not the kingdom of the Hattites. I don't think the Hattites enslaved by the Hittites will desperately defend the Hittite Kingdom of the Hittites."

Roy said confidently.

"Twenty years ago, when your father inherited the throne, didn't the Hittite Kingdom have a Hattite uprising?"

"Has such a thing happened?"

Hatepna said with doubt.

"I wasn't born 20 years ago. I've lived for 17 years and I've never heard that the Hittites are dissatisfied with us."

"Do the Hattiites need to say their dissatisfaction?"

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"If you are willing to be a slave and serve others, then you can be my slave now!"

Seeing Hatepuna speechless, Roy continued.

"I am more and more confident about conquering the Hittite Kingdom. For the Hatti people, I am undoubtedly their savior, and they will firmly support me in conquering the Hittite Kingdom. In addition, I am your husband, the heir to the Hittite throne, and the Hittite civilians will not resist my rule."

"After you conquer the Hittite Kingdom, I will rule the Hittite Kingdom with you as queen."

Hatepuna suddenly said.

"Under the rule of the Athenian Empire, the Hittites will become a minority. Only if I become queen can the Hittites be free from the persecution of the Hatti people."

Under Roy's rule, the Ebla and the Amorites are equal on the surface.

However, Roy deliberately recruited soldiers from the Ebla people to manage the Amorites. Although this could stabilize his rule, it invisibly created the oppression of the Amorites by the Ebla people.

After the Hittite Kingdom became part of the Athenian Empire, Roy would definitely recruit soldiers from the Hattites to manage the Hittites.

Hatepuna saw this point and asked to become a queen instead of a queen consort.

"Yes!"

Hatepuna wanted to be a tool to manage the Anatolian Peninsula, and Roy certainly had no reason to refuse.

And Roy was also worried that the Hittites might be retaliated by the Hattites after becoming a minority.

After all, the Hittites enslaved the Hattites for hundreds of years, and there was a blood feud between them.

After training the soldiers recruited from the city of Alalach, Roy left Hatepuna to manage the city of Alalach, and Roy himself led an army of 10,000 to the city of Samar.

Samar is the gateway connecting the Yamhad region and the Kizuwatna region.

As long as Roy controlled this place, he could block the Hittite army in the Anatolian Peninsula.

After defeating Hantili's army, Roy can enter the Cilician Plain in the Kizuwatna area from Samar City.

In the mythology of another world, Typhon, the storm god as powerful as Zeus, lives in a cave in the Cilician Plain.

Typhon's wife Echidna is a female monster with a human head and a snake body in the Cilician region.

Obviously, the storm god Typhon is the storm and thunder god of the Amorites [Hadad Zeus Teshub].

Precisely because Typhon is another Zeus, in the myth that praises Zeus, Typhon will become the king of evil gods as powerful as Zeus.

The prototype of the goddess Echidna with a human head and a snake body is Istanus, the earth goddess worshipped by both the Ebla people and the Cilicians.

Samar City.

After arriving here, Roy sent an envoy in the name of Hatepuna, ordering the governor of Samar City to surrender immediately.

The governor of Samar not only did not surrender, but also asked the messenger to tell Roy that Hantili would soon come with 30,000 troops to destroy the Athenians.

In order to deal with Roy, Hantili actually summoned 30,000 troops.

No wonder his army has not arrived in the Yamhad area in the past half month.

In order to capture Samar before Hantili arrived, Roy personally led the soldiers to attack Samar.

As the gateway connecting the Yamhad area and the Cilician Plain, Samar is surrounded by the Cilician Plain to the west and the Antioch Plain to the south, but Samar is surrounded by barren mountains.

So the population of Samar is only 20,000, and there are only 2,000 soldiers.

Under Roy's attack, the gate of Samar was broken, and the Ebla soldiers and Amorite soldiers guarding the city chose to surrender.

After all, this is the Hittite Samar.

It is not the Amorite Samar, let alone the Eblaite Samar.
