I was a priest in the city-state era

Helping foreign gods seize the territory and authority of local gods - this is not the first time that Roy has done this.

But before, Roy helped the goddesses of the Athenian Empire seize the territory and authority of local male gods.

Roy felt very guilty for helping goddess Alina seize the territory and authority of goddess Inara, because goddess Inara was completely a victim.

"Inara, just give up competing with goddess Alina for the territory of the Hittite Kingdom!"

After saying this cruelly, Roy directly pushed the statue of Inara to the ground.

There was a muffled bang!

The statue of Inara fell to the ground.

Inara, who was fighting with Alina, immediately screamed in pain, turned around and stared at Roy with fierce black snake eyes.

"Dear sister, I'm so sorry!"

Alina apologized and grabbed Inara's right hand and neck from behind.

Inara did not resist, but her eyes were always staring at Roy.

Roy pushed down the statue of Inara, which obviously made Alina very happy. After she caught Inara, she said to Roy.

"You have become Inara's enemy for me. Should I eliminate Inara to prevent you from being retaliated by Inara?"

"No!"

After rejecting Alina's proposal, Roy looked at Inara with a sincere look.

"Goddess Inara, you will also become the goddess of the Athenian Empire! Although I can't return the territory of the Hittite Kingdom to you, I can let you become the patron saint again in other places."

Hearing Roy's words, Inara's face showed a shaken expression.

Seeing Inara's reaction, Roy continued.

"I will give you a rich territory of 100,000 square kilometers."

"Are you serious?"

"Almost all the goddesses of the Athenian Empire are descendants of the ancient earth goddess [Gaia Tiamat] - that is, your sisters. For the sake of your many sisters, I can't lie to you."

Inara hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay! I accept your proposal. I will become the goddess of the Athenian Empire, and you will give me 100,000 square kilometers of territory."

Alina immediately let go of Inara's hands, and then hugged Inara in her arms and said.

"Dear sister, it's great that we can continue to be sisters."

"It's disgusting!"

Inara said with disgust.

"Is it fun for you to be so hypocritical? If you really treat me as your sister, give me back my territory."

"That won't work!"

Alina said with a smile.

"I really treat you as my sister, but I will never give you back your territory."

At the same time that Alina and Inara ended the battle, Selene and Apollo's battle also came to a conclusion.

After Apollo, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, was stabbed in the right shoulder by Selene's spear blade, he turned into a black rat [Smythos] without hesitation and drilled into the ground.

At the same time that Apollo fled, the Palek soldiers also completely collapsed under the attack of the Athenian soldiers, ignoring Telepin's orders and fleeing from the battlefield.

As a nomadic people with a tribal system, the Paleks have skilled fighting skills, but they are not soldiers who really obey orders.

Telepin can recruit them to fight, but he can't let them fight a hard battle with heavy casualties.

"These barbarians with backward civilization-"

Looking at the Palek warriors who collapsed and fled, Telepin said helplessly.

"They are only willing to participate in the war that must be won to share the spoils, and they are not real soldiers at all. It seems that if I want to fight against the Athenian Empire, I must first train the Palek warriors into real soldiers."

As soon as Telepin finished speaking, Anna drove a chariot to his side.

"Dear, we should leave."

Telepin said as he got on the chariot.

"Anna, you Paleks disappoint me so much. In front of a real army, you Paleks are vulnerable."

Anna rolled her eyes and said.

"The enemy has more powerful weapons and more advanced armor. This war is not fair to us Paleks. We Paleks are not fools. We will not fight to the death."

After the war inside and outside the city ended, Narik was also incorporated into the territory of the Athenian Empire.

The next day.

When Roy reorganized the 8,000 soldiers of Narik, the city of Chalpwa sent envoys to surrender to Roy, and the last city-state of the Hittite Kingdom entered the territory of the Athenian Empire.

After screening the soldiers of Narik, Roy mixed 5,000 soldiers of Narik with his own 15,000 soldiers.

After leaving 5,000 soldiers in Narik to maintain rule and maintain law and order, Roy personally took over the city of Chalpwa, which surrendered voluntarily, with 15,000 troops.

The city of Chalpwa is located at the mouth of the Kizil River.

Before the rise of the Black Sea trade, the city of Chalpwa, as a coastal city, had no development potential.

But under the rule of the Athenian Empire, Chalpva would become a hub for Black Sea trade and develop into one of the major port cities in the Black Sea world.

Because he attached great importance to Chalpva, Roy left 10,000 soldiers in Chalpva to maintain law and order, protecting it from the invasion of nomadic peoples such as the Paleks and the Hayasas.

In mid-March.

Roy returned to Hattusa with 5,000 soldiers.

At this time, Hattusa seemed to have regained its vitality.

Although the Hittites in the city all looked listless, the majority of the population, the Hittites, all had happy smiles on their faces.

Palace.

When Roy returned to the palace hall, he saw that the Hittite royal family, including Governor Kusala, were all in the court ruled by Hatepuna.

Now half of the officials of the Hittite Kingdom are Athenians appointed by Roy, and the other half are Hittites, mainly Hittite royal family.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with this situation, Roy did not say it.

Because Roy would soon return to Athens and completely hand over the Hittite Kingdom to Hatepuna.

"All of you go out!"

After driving away all the officials in the hall, Roy came to Hatepuna and smiled.

"Queen Hatepuna, you seem a little disappointed to see me back."

Hatepuna rolled her eyes at Roy and said.

"I have done so much for you during this period, but you think I want to monopolize the queen's power?"

Roy sat down next to Hatepuna, hugged her in his arms and asked.

"What have you done for me?"

"I arranged a marriage for you with the Hurrian princess."

Hatepna said with an unhappy face.

"As long as you go to Kumani City in person to marry Nefertiti, the princess of the Kingdom of Isova, the Hurrian princess will become your wife."

"What about the princess of the Kingdom of Arzava?"

"The king of the Kingdom of Arzava, Iobates, does not want to marry his daughter, Princess Philonoe, to you, because a Mycenaean leader named Bellerophon is also seeking to marry Philonoe."

"Bellerophon--"

Roy is not unfamiliar with this name.

In the mythology of another world, Bellerophon is the father-in-law of Zeus, and his daughter's illegitimate son Sarpedon is identified as Zeus's demigod son.

According to the timeline of the mythology, Bellerophon and Pelops should be figures around 1,300 BC.

But according to scientific research in another world, some versions have believed that Pelops should be a figure around 1,600 BC.

After all, myths are just myths, and the timeline of myths certainly cannot be regarded as the timeline of real history.
