Chapter 433: Hammurabi Fights One Against Three
In 1783 BC, the Babylonian Kingdom ruled by Hammurabi was just a small kingdom in the Babylonian region in the middle reaches of the Mesopotamian River Basin.
In the next twenty years, Hammurabi first tried to survive in the hegemony of the warlords in the Mesopotamian Plain, and then joined forces with other Amorite city-states to attack the Sumerian region.
Since 3,000 BC, the Sumerian region in the lower reaches of the Mesopotamian River Basin has always been the core area of the Mesopotamian Plain.
If you want to establish a hegemonic kingdom that dominates the Mesopotamian River Basin, you must control the human and material resources of the Sumerian region.
After the Babylonian Kingdom ruled by Hammurabi conquered the Sumerian region with the help of its allies, it became a matter of course for the Babylonian Kingdom to dominate the Mesopotamian Plain.
The Malku Kingdom and the Mari Kingdom, which allied with Hammurabi, had no idea that after Hammurabi had the human and material support of the Sumerian region, he would then launch a war against his two allies and finally complete the great feat of unifying the Mesopotamian River Basin.
Although the Sumerian region broke away from the control of the Babylonian Kingdom in the twentieth year after Hammurabi's death, causing the territory of the Babylonian Kingdom to begin to collapse, the Babylonian Kingdom finally held on until now, 150 years later.
One hundred and fifty years was enough for Hammurabi to complete the process of deification after his death, so Hammurabi became the hero god of the Babylonian Kingdom.
Watching the powerful figure of Hammurabi defeating the demigod hero Hantiri with one blow and scaring off the demigod hero Telepin, Roy had a stronger desire to be deified after his death.
Because the hero god not only has far more power than the demigod hero, but can also participate in human wars.
In the myth of another world, when the Athenians fought the Persians on the Marathon Plain, the Athenian King Theseus descended on the battlefield as the Athenian hero god and led the Athenians to defeat the invading Persians.
Even if the real gods descended on the battlefield in response to human prayers, they could not directly attack hostile humans.
The hero god Hammurabi was able to attack Hantiri directly, obviously because the hero god was between humans and gods and was not completely restricted by the rules of gods.
After Hantiri and Telepin left the wall of Telga City, Hammurabi did not stop attacking them, but jumped off the wall.
At this time, Hantiri and Telepin had stood together.
Hammurabi also looked at ease in the face of the two demigod heroes. After Hantiri and Telepin looked at each other, they attacked Hammurabi at the same time.
Facing the fierce attack of Hantiri and Telepin in tacit cooperation, Hammurabi dodged easily and teased.
"Human! If you think that the Hero God is just stronger than ordinary demigod heroes, then you are totally wrong. The Hero God is a god, and is a different level from the demigod heroes belonging to humans. Even if two of you attack me together, you can't make up for the difference in strength between us."
Just as Roy was admiring the battle between Hammurabi and Hantili and Telepin, Hatepuna suddenly drove a chariot to Roy and said.
"What are you still watching here? Go with them to deal with Hammurabi."
"You want me to take action?"
Hearing Hatepuna's request, Roy said with a smile.
"Hammurabi is a hero god who was deified after his death! If you want me to deal with him, you must agree to one condition of mine. After occupying the city of Telga, your Hittite Kingdom can only harm the royal family and nobles in the city, and cannot harm ordinary civilians."
"Okay! I agree to your request."
Hearing Hatepuna's answer, Roy immediately jumped off the horse and rushed towards Hammurabi at great speed.
The next moment!
Roy came to Hammurabi and swung his iron spear at his back.
There was a loud bang!
Hammurabi turned around and blocked Roy's attack with his golden scepter, then frowned and said.
"One against two has become one against three! Although I don't think you can defeat me, the hero god, by numbers, there are still too many of you."
"If you really think so, it means that your strength is too weak to be compared with the real gods."
Roy mocked jokingly.
"Even the lowest-level gods will not be troubled by the large number of demigod heroes. Hero God Hammurabi, you think you are a different level from the demigod heroes, but I don't think you are the same level as the gods."
Facing Roy's provocation and humiliation, Hammurabi was like an enraged lion, showing an extremely angry expression and attacking Roy fiercely. Roy became the main target of Hammurabi's attack.
Hantiri and Telepin, who were under great pressure from fighting Hammurabi, first breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked for Hammurabi's flaws.
However, the two were surprised to find that not only did the hero god Hammurabi burst out with a speed far beyond theirs in his angry state, but even Roy, who was also a demigod hero like them, had a speed far beyond theirs.
This battle, which seemed to be a one-on-three battle between Hammurabi and Roy, had actually become a one-on-one battle between Roy and the hero god Hammurabi.
Clang clang clang clang clang——
The angry Hammurabi kept hitting Roy with the golden scepter.
Although Roy was a little embarrassed, he avoided or blocked all of Hammurabi's attacks.
After a confrontation, Hammurabi stopped attacking in surprise and questioned with suspicion.
"Are you really a human? I have never seen a demigod hero as powerful as you. Are you actually a god disguised as a human?"
Roy panted and asked.
"You really can't tell if I'm human?"
Humans may not be able to see the gods disguised as humans.
As a heroic god, Hammurabi could certainly see that Loy was not a god.
It was precisely because Hammurabi saw that Roy was not a human being disguised as a god that he took the initiative to ask Roy.
"A demigod hero can be so powerful that his strength is close to that of a heroic god like me——"
Hammurabi said with a solemn expression.
"It seems I must treat you as a real enemy!"
After saying this, Hammurabi once again launched a fierce attack on Roy.
Roy stubbornly avoided or resisted Hammurabi's attacks, but he couldn't help but started to complain in his heart.
Because of the battle with Hammurabi, Roy was consuming a lot of divine power every second - every moment.
Just when Roy felt that he was about to be unable to withstand Hammurabi's attack, Hantili and Tieliepin suddenly began to attack Hammurabi from the left and right.
After Roy's pressure was greatly reduced, he discovered that not only did he consume a lot of divine power in every moment of battle, but Hammurabi also consumed a lot of divine power in battle.
Now because too much divine power has been consumed, the battle between Roy and Hammurabi has slowed down. Hantili and Tieliepin can already intervene in the battle between Roy and Hammurabi.
Hammurabi found that the battle had changed from one against one to one against three, and the situation had become very unfavorable to him. He said with an expression of reluctance on his face.
"I was too careless! I should have used all my strength to deal with these two demigod heroes before dealing with an abnormal guy like you."
