Chapter 431 Join Forces to Destroy the Kingdom of Babylon

Roy actually felt very contemptuous of Han Tili and Tie Lieping who had usurped the throne of his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Because in Roy's view, only those who rebel against his father-in-law and steal his father-in-law's throne are heroes.

However, Tie Lieping was very successful in one thing. He was not only the king who was deified after his death in the history of the Hittite Kingdom, he was also a god with a higher status.

In Hittite mythology, Tirepin was the queen of the gods of the Hittite kingdom, the son of the sun goddess, and the god in charge of plant harvests.

Even Tieliepin's wife Hatpurna was transformed into the daughter of the sea god Aruna, the goddess in charge of wild animals.

The Hittite king Mursili succeeded his elderly grandfather Hattusili to the throne after his father's death.

It has been twenty years since Mursili succeeded to the throne.

As Mursili's brother-in-law, Hantili is a middle-aged man in his forties.

Tie Lieping was a young man of about twenty years old. Judging from Hatepuna's introduction to Tie Lieping, Tie Lieping and Hatepuna were not married yet.

If Mursili married Hatepuna to Tieliepin, Tieliepin would also be eligible to compete for the throne.

In the history of another world, Han Tili and Tie Lieping were both heroes who usurped the throne.

Hantili and Tieliepin competed with each other for the throne of Mursili, and Roy really wanted to know who of these two heroes could win.

After looking away from Han Tili and Tie Liepin, Roy looked at Hatepuna on the throne and said.

"Princess Hatepuna! I am very interested in your proposal to join forces to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon, so I came here to negotiate with you in person. Now I want to know, what are your plans to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Hatepuna looked at Roy with calm eyes and said.

“The Hittite Kingdom has the city-state alliance of the Arzava people in the southwest, the tribal alliance of the Palek people in the northwest, the Isuva Kingdom, a vassal of the Mitanni Kingdom, in the east, and the tribal alliance Hayasa Aziz in the northeast. . In this situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, our Hittite Kingdom does not have the extra troops to occupy the Mesopotamian Plain, so my plan is to attack the city of Babylon and make all the city-states in the two river basins fear the Hittite Kingdom. We don’t dare to think of attacking northern Syria. After the Kingdom of Babylon plunders enough wealth and women, we will give up the occupation of the Kingdom of Babylon.”

"In other words, your Hittite Kingdom wants to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom just to consolidate the Hittite Kingdom's rule over northern Syria."

Roy couldn't help but smile brightly and said.

"Since the Hittite Kingdom does not want to occupy the Babylonian Kingdom, and our Athens Empire wants to incorporate the Babylonian Kingdom into its territory, the Hittite Kingdom should have no objection!"

"You want to bring the Kingdom of Babylon into your territory - you have so many troops at your disposal?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"The troops I can use should only be about 10,000 people."

"Then I really want to see how you rule a million people in Mesopotamia with ten thousand soldiers."

Hatepuna said with a smile.

"Originally, according to my plan, our Hittite Kingdom and your Athenian Empire formed a coalition to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon. We could plunder a large amount of wealth and women from the Kingdom of Babylon as trophies. When the war is over, I can divide one-third of the trophies among You Athenian Empire. Since you want to rule the Mesopotamian Plain, then take the Mesopotamian Plain as the booty that your Athenian Empire deserves, and the wealth and women plundered by our Hittite Kingdom belong to us. , do you agree to this allocation?”

"Can!"

Roy nodded and said.

"Now that we have reached an agreement, let's set a time to attack the Kingdom of Babylon together."

"you--"

Seeing that Roy agreed so simply, Hatepuna looked at Roy with suspicion and said.

"You seem to be more active in annihilating the Kingdom of Babylon than our Hittite Kingdom. Do you really think that you can achieve dominance over the Mesopotamian plains?"

“You can’t know whether you can succeed until you try.”

"What an interesting human being, so I'm looking forward to your performance!"

"Princess Hatepuna! Now we form an alliance to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon. I propose that we attack Telga City together in ten days."

"Ten days - I can wait for you for ten days."

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

"Aren't you going to stay and accept the reception? I plan to hold a grand banquet for you, this distinguished guest, and give you some stunning beauties."

"I have no interest in parties or beauties."

After Roy left, everyone in the hall looked at each other, unable to believe that in such a short period of time, the Hittite Kingdom and the Athens Empire could form an alliance to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom.

Hantili touched his beard and said to Hatepuna.

"Princess Hatepuna, this Emperor of Athens looks too suspicious. He must have some other purpose for reaching an alliance with us so easily."

"Why should you care what he thinks?"

Hatepuna said with a smile.

"Destroying the Kingdom of Babylon is our plan. Does it mean that if the Empire of Athens does not want to form an alliance with us, we will give up on destroying the Kingdom of Babylon? I can see that this human being is not lying. He really wants to rule Mesopotamia. Pingyuan, that’s why he agreed to form an alliance with us so simply.”

After listening to Hatepuna's words, Tie Lieping couldn't help laughing.

"Is this Athenian emperor a madman who wants to rule the millions of people in the Mesopotamian Plain with 10,000 soldiers? The Akkadians and Amorites, branches of the ancient Aryans, have spent thousands of years and failed to establish long-term and effective rule in the Mesopotamian Plain. This Athenian emperor will definitely fail from the beginning."

Byblos City.

After returning to the city in three days, Roy immediately mobilized his soldiers and sent messengers to Aries guarding the Sinai Peninsula, asking Aries to lead 10,000 soldiers to support.

When entering the Phoenician region, Roy brought 25,000 soldiers.

After recruiting soldiers in the Phoenician region, Roy's military strength now reached 32,000.

Leaving 12,000 soldiers to guard the four city-states in the Phoenician region, Roy still had 20,000 soldiers available.

While crossing the Syrian region to the city of Telga, Roy planned to conquer the Amorites in southern Syria and incorporate southern Syria into the territory of the Athenian Empire.

The northern part of Syria is a grassland irrigated by the Euphrates River, and the southern part is a plateau desert.

It is precisely because the environment in the southern part of Syria is so bad that the Hittite Kingdom, which occupied the northern part of Syria, has no interest in the southern part of Syria.

The total area of ​​Syria is 185,000 square kilometers.

Although the southern part of Syria is a plateau desert, it also has an area of ​​80,000 square kilometers.

If Roy wants to control the southern part of Syria, he must allocate at least 10,000 soldiers.

The remaining 10,000 soldiers are the troops that Roy uses to occupy the Mesopotamian Plain.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to use 10,000 soldiers to rule the millions of people in the Mesopotamian Plain.

So in addition to the 10,000 reinforcements of Aries, Roy will also summon more reinforcements to enter the Mesopotamian Plain according to the situation.
