I was a priest in the city-state era

The patron saint of the Hurites, Kumarbi, and the patron saint of the Assyrians, Ashur, were eliminated. The Athenian Empire conquered the war between the Hurites and the Assyrians, and the outcome was naturally no longer in doubt.

After all, the Athenian soldiers used iron weapons to reduce the dimensionality of their attacks. Without the intervention of the gods, it was impossible for the Hurits and Assyrians to make up for the insurmountable strength gap between the soldiers on both sides.

After Roy left the follow-up development of this war completely to Nefertiti, Roy came to the city of Babylon alone.

1598 BC.

September.

The royal palace of Babylon.

Roy held Andromeda and sat on the throne in the hall. Andromeda asked curiously.

"My dear, you are coming to me now because you want me to send troops into the Hurit area?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"The soldiers under Nefertiti are enough to conquer the Hurit region. I came to you to ask you to send troops, but your combat target is not the Hurit region, but the Persian plateau. Not only you, but also the Sai Miramis will also send troops into the Persian plateau."

The Persian Plateau includes Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, covering an area of ​​approximately 2.7 million square kilometers.

Roy wanted to conquer the huge Persian plateau and actually rule it, and he would have to mobilize at least 100,000 troops.

So not only Andromeda, but also Semiramis had to contribute to the war of the Athenian Empire to conquer the Persian plateau.

"Why should we conquer the Persian plateau?"

Andromeda asked with confusion.

"My dear, does the Athenian Empire have no borders and you want to conquer all the lands?"

Now half of the Mediterranean Sea has become the inner lake of the Athenian Empire, and the territory of the Athenian Empire has never been larger.

So Andromeda really couldn't understand Roy's idea of ​​​​expanding to the east—and to the Persian plateau.

After all, in this era, fertile plains are the most suitable for survival.

Roy said confidently.

"Andromeda! Now the Aryans are living a nomadic life on the Persian Plateau, so you think the Persian Plateau is not worthy of our conquest. But I can tell you that there are about 600,000 square kilometers of land in the Persian Plateau suitable for development. Agricultural cultivation. Moreover, the oil reserves of the Persian Plateau are one-tenth of the world's and the natural gas reserves are one-sixth of the world's. Even if the Persian Plateau does not have 600,000 square kilometers of agricultural land, we still have to use it for the sake of rich natural resources. The Persian plateau was incorporated into the Athenian Empire."

In addition to oil and natural gas, the Persian Plateau is also rich in mineral resources and is known as the "World Mineral Museum".

The 68 proven minerals account for 7% of the world's total reserves.

Roy has not even spared the Amorite Peninsula, which is severely desertified, and of course he will not spare the Persian Plateau.

Although Andromeda did not understand the value of oil, natural gas, and various minerals, she learned that the Persian Plateau had about 600,000 square kilometers of cultivated land, and she no longer opposed Roy's conquest of the Persian Plateau.

After convincing Andromeda, Roy then came to the city of Uruk.

The royal palace in the city of Uruk.

After Roy explained his purpose, Semiramis directly agreed to Roy's plan.

"Dear! Although I agree with your plan, I can't help you summon the Sumerians."

Semiramis said helplessly.

"I am the princess of the Amorites. It is good that the Sumerians did not launch a rebellion under my rule. It is impossible for them to respond to my call and become your soldiers, so you must call the Sumerians to join this war yourself. "

After Semiramis finished speaking, Gilgamesh's voice immediately sounded in Roy's ears.

"King of Athens, let me help you summon the Sumerians!"

As a heroic god that has been praised by the Sumerians for thousands of years, Gilgamesh does have enough prestige to appeal to the Sumerians.

Considering that Gilgamesh could not threaten him, Roy responded.

"Gilgamesh! I allow you to come again and complete the feat of conquering the Persian plateau with me."

Mid-September.

Gilgamesh led an army of 50,000 people into the Elamite region and wiped out the remaining Elamite forces.

After wiping out the remaining Elamite forces, Gilgamesh will lead an army of 50,000 through the Zagros Mountains and into the southern part of the Persian Plateau.

West side of the Zagros Mountains.

Loy found Issushinaac, the patron god of the Elamite kingdom, in an open-air temple and attacked the weakened god.

As the patron saint, Issushinaq's strength is closely linked to the rise and fall of the Elamite Kingdom.

As the Elamites become stronger, Issushinaak becomes stronger.

Now that the Elamites are about to be conquered by Gilgamesh leading an army of 50,000, Issushinaq's strength has weakened to the extreme.

Facing Roy's attack, the King of Light and Darkness worshiped by the Elamites only lasted for a few rounds before falling into a disadvantage and trying to escape from Roy.

Boom——

Just when Isu Sinak wanted to escape, a golden divine light suddenly fell from the sky.

The next moment!

Isu Sinak was nailed to the ground with a golden divine spear.

The owner of the golden spear is the goddess Inanna from the Sumerian region.

Unexpectedly, Inanna would take the initiative to help him, Roy said in surprise.

"Dear goddess Inanna, I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to help me."

"Don't get me wrong!"

Inanna said as she trampled Isu Sinak under her feet.

"I'm just here to defeat the hostile gods and get the merits that belong to the gods. I'm not here to help you."

Roy blinked and said.

"Then after you get the merit, do you want me to increase your territory?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Inanna asked rhetorically.

"Don't you want to increase the corresponding territory for me after I gain merit?"

"Of course I will increase the corresponding territory for you."

Roy said with a smile.

"But Isu-Sinac is not a formidable enemy, so defeating him will only get you Elamite territory."

"Next, I will work with you to help you defeat the Aryan gods on the Persian Plateau. With the merit of defeating the Aryan gods, it is not too much for you to give me half of the Persian Plateau!"

Half of the Persian Plateau—

It covers an area of ​​approximately 1.35 million square kilometers.

Roy rolled his eyes and said after hearing Inanna's lion's mouth.

"I will not allow you to have such a huge territory until you become my wife."

While speaking, Roy walked up to Inanna and looked at Isu Sinak who was stepped on by Inanna.

"Isu Sinak! In the past, you were the patron saint of the Elamites, the sun god in charge of the day and the lord of darkness in charge of the night. But from now on, the Elamites no longer need your protection, great sun The god Phaethon will become the new patron saint of the Elamites, and you can die in peace."

After saying that, Roy aimed his right hand at Issushinaak and released the blazing sun fire.

Naturally, Ysushinak would not die willingly.

Facing the fate of perishing and disappearing, Issushinak stared at Roy with eyes full of hatred and said.

"Pathetic victor! I curse you to leave this world one day during Ragnarok."
