I was a priest in the city-state era

The battle of faith has always been cruel.

Just as no king would voluntarily give his throne to someone else, no god would voluntarily give his throne to someone else.

In the history of another world, in order to seize the faith of Mnemosyne, Apollo's priests killed Mnemosyne's priests and occupied the Delphi Temple and the throne of the patron god of Thebes.

So in the myth, there was a story about Apollo's priestess and human lover Manto worshipping Apollo and his son in Thebes. After being stopped by the Queen of Thebes Niobe, Apollo and Artemis shot Niobe's family with magic arrows.

In order to spread the faith of the Almighty God, the priests of the Almighty God also degraded other gods to demons, and degraded the priests of other gods to heretics who served demons, depriving them of their lives and property with cruel burnings.

If there had not been cruel burnings to persecute millions or even tens of millions of heretics over thousands of years of history, the belief in Almighty God would never have spread throughout the world.

In history three thousand years ago, there were records of the struggle for faith between the priests of Almighty God and the priests of Baal [Marduk Zeus].

Because Baal [Marduk Zeus] was more tolerant of other gods, the priests of Baal did not use force to eliminate the priests of Almighty God.

The priests of Almighty God left records as if to show off - their prayers made Almighty God send down fire from the sky and burn the priests who served Baal to death.

The other world is a truly godless world.

The priests of Almighty God claimed that it was Almighty God who sent down fire from the sky to burn the priests of Baal to death, but in fact it was the priests of Almighty God who used burning to eliminate the priests of Baal.

The city of Hakpisa.

At this time in the temple of the goddess, Selene and the goddess of the earth also started a confrontation for faith.

The goddess of the earth knew that she could not convince the shameless Selene, so she directly accused Roy.

"Human, are you going to turn a blind eye to Selene's behavior?"

Faced with the questioning of the Earth Goddess, Roy showed a helpless expression.

Roy was very sympathetic to the fact that Alina had taken away the throne and faith of the Earth Goddess.

But Alina did not show hostility to Roy.

Even when Roy proposed to marry Alina, Alina was not angry.

Of course, Roy loved the goddess who was so tolerant of him.

"The great Earth Goddess--"

"You can call me Istanus, or Istanu, Inara, Ilpitiga, Isara or Istustaya."

Hearing the goddess's self-introduction, Roy shook his head and said.

"Although you and the goddess Istanus have the same origin, the goddess Istanus is now the goddess of the Cilicians, and you are the goddess of the Hatti. In order to distinguish you, I will call you the goddess Inara!"

In the history of another world, the original patron saint of Hattusa City was Inara.

In addition to Inara, the Earth Goddess has another name, Inar.

"Yes!"

"Goddess Inara, I sympathize with your situation. A hundred years ago, you were the goddess of the earth worshiped by the Hittites and the real owner of the land of the Hittite Kingdom. Now, a hundred years later, the sun goddess Alina has replaced you as the goddess of the sun and the earth, and has become the owner of this land. Now the Hattites are no longer slaves ruled by the Hittites, and it is natural for you to want to take back everything that belongs to you."

"Then why don't you stop Selene? Selene is a god who competes with me for faith. How can she order the demolition of my statue?"

Goddess Selene's current behavior is equivalent to Selene being both a player and a referee in the game - this is undoubtedly cheating.

"Stupid goddess!"

Selene said to Goddess Inara with a mocking sneer.

"Do you think he will stand on your side?"

Roy followed.

"Goddess Inara! Because Goddess Alina gave me a lot of things, I won't support you."

"What Alina gave you, I can give you. Even if Alina can't give you, I can give you."

In order to compete with Alina for the 1.5 million people of the Hittite Kingdom, Roy believed that Inara would indeed satisfy his requirements more than Alina.

Alina was willing to marry Roy because she wanted to rule the 1.5 million people of the Hittite Kingdom and must get Roy's support.

Seeing Roy hesitate, Selene said dissatisfiedly.

"What are you hesitating about? Reject Inara quickly and let her give up the fantasy she shouldn't have."

"Isn't this too cruel?"

Roy said reluctantly.

"Whether it is for the Hittites or for the goddess Inara, this is too cruel."

"Are you going to betray me and my sister?"

"Selene..."

Roy asked tentatively.

"Can you marry me with Alina? As long as you agree to marry me, I can make up my mind to drive away the goddess Inara."

"You--"

Selene glared at Roy fiercely.

"How greedy are you? I agree to your request. As long as you don't betray me and my sister, I will marry you with my sister."

Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to Inara expressionlessly.

"Goddess Inara! If you knew me earlier than Alina and Selene, and agreed to marry me earlier, I would definitely help you regain the throne and make you the guardian of the Hittite Kingdom's population of 1.5 million. God. It's a pity that Alina and Selene knew me earlier and agreed to marry me earlier, so I can only be a villain with them. Under my rule, Alina is the Hittite. The common patron saint of ladder people.”

BANG!

As Roy finished speaking, the soldiers pushed Inara's statue to the ground.

Inara was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she stared at Roy and Selene with a pair of black snake eyes and said coldly.

"I will not accept the fate you have given me."

After saying that, Inara transformed into a figure with the head of a human and the body of a snake and flew out of the temple.

Seeing Roy driving away Inara, Selene said with satisfaction.

"Although you made excessive demands on me and my sister, and dared to ask me and my sister to marry you, you did not betray me and my sister - this deserves a reward."

"What would you have done if I had just accepted the goddess Inara?"

"I will kill you!"

"You can't kill me, because the goddess Inara will protect me."

"snort!"

Selene snorted and did not deny Roy's words.

After leaving 5,000 soldiers to control the city of Hakpisa, Roy and Selene took the remaining 15,000 troops to the city of Nerik.

Temple of Inara in the city of Nerik.

Inara took the initiative to convey the oracle to the priestess who served her, asking the Hattian people to resist Loi.

Although she knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and that the Hatties of Nerik City and Charpewa City together would not be able to defeat Roy, Inara did not want to sit still and wait for death.

And Inara is not alone. Gali [Smintheus Apollo], the patron saint of the Pakley people, intends to lend a helping hand to Inara.

Gali is the god of plague and the king of bows in charge of hunting.

His plague power may allow the Hattian people to defeat many with less.
