I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 448: White Dove Goddess Semiramis

Marduk [Zeus], ​​the protector of the Kingdom of Babylon and king of the gods, was appearing over the city of Babylon in a figure invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing that none of the defenders of Babylon were resisting desperately, the Athenian army and the Hittite army easily broke through the city gate and entered the city. The Amorite royal family and nobles were all fleeing the city of Babylon——

Marduk's face was filled with anger and helplessness.

Clearly, the interests of humans and gods are not aligned.

After the Amorite royal family and nobles fled, perhaps they could survive in other cities and even retain their status and power as nobles.

The Amorites who fled did not consider that the Amorites were no longer the rulers of Babylon, and Marduk would not only lose his identity as the protector of the country and king of the gods, but also lose his identity as the patron saint of Babylon.

Nergal, the king of Hades, and Nabu, the god of writing, stood beside Marduk, and Nergal asked the angry Marduk.

"Dear brother, what should we do next?"

Marduk closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes with a painful expression and said.

"Although Roy, this damn human, has not yet knocked down the Marduk statue in the Marduk Temple, I know he will definitely knock down my statue. There is no place for us in the Mesopotamia. We and the Hyksos Let’s go to the Persian Plateau or India together!”

"Father God..."

Nabu, the God of Writing, said with some lack of confidence.

"I haven't lost the throne of the patron saint of Borsippa City. Do I have to leave too?"

"My stupid son."

Marduk said, glaring at Nab with an angry look.

"The Kingdom of Babylon has been destroyed. No matter whether the Athenians or the Sumerians conquer the city of Porsippa next, they will oust you, the Amorite god, from your throne. If you don't want to leave with me, then stay Waiting to die here.”

After saying this, Marduk flew away with Nergal.

Although Nabu was reluctant to part with the patron saint seat of Borsippa City that he had not yet lost, he also knew that losing the throne was an inevitable result.

After sighing full of nostalgia, Nabu also flew away after Marduk and Nergal.

They would migrate with the Hyksos to the Persian plateau and even India.

Perhaps there, Marduk can become Indra, the king of the gods, and Nergal can become Yama, the lord of the underworld.

The royal palace of Babylon.

The Hittites began to plunder wealth and palace maids here as trophies. Roy looked at the Babylonian king Sarsudi Tanner and his family in the palace hall, thinking about what to do with them.

"King Sasuditana of Babylon, what do you think I should do with you?"

Roy asked looking at Sassudi Tanner on the throne.

"Should I marry your daughter Semiramis, inherit the throne of the Babylonian king, and then declare myself the legal ruler of Mesopotamia?"

Sassudi Tanner asked rhetorically.

"If you become my son-in-law, how will you treat our family? Since you want to inherit my throne, you must kill me. As a subjugated king, I no longer care about my life or death, but my family ——”

"I won't kill you."

Roy said with a smile.

"Other people might kill you as a threat, but you are not an enemy in my eyes. No matter whether your daughter Semiramis will become my woman or not, I will not kill you. You. But I will demote your whole family into slaves, and make the men work as mining slaves or build roads, and the women as weaver slaves.”

slave--

After hearing Roy's punishment for them, a beautiful Babylonian princess ran to Roy and knelt down and said.

"I am also a Babylonian princess and have the right to inherit the throne. Please let me be your woman, even if it is as a concubine and lover. I don't want to be a humble slave."

she cried as she spoke.

Although her beauty is not as good as that of her sister Semiramis, her pretty face is very pitiful.

Sassudi Tanner said angrily.

"You want to demote our whole family into slaves? Then you might as well kill us! We are the noble Babylonian royal family, the descendants of Hammurabi, the great king of the Babylonian Kingdom, and we must not be turned into slaves and humiliated by you."

"You don't want to become a slave and suffer my humiliation, why don't you take your family and commit suicide?"

Roy teased jokingly.

"In my hometown in the East, there was an emperor who committed suicide with his family when his country was ruined. He killed his young children with his own hands, and his wife also followed him to commit suicide. Sassudi Tanner! You The fact that you and your family are still alive only proves that even if you are not afraid of death, you definitely don't have the courage to commit suicide. Maybe you still have illusions and think that your family can get preferential treatment from me."

At this moment, Semiramis, the most beautiful of the Babylonian princesses, looked at Roy with sharp eyes and said coldly.

"If you just want to humiliate our family, I can immediately prove to you that our Babylonian royal family is not afraid of death."

After saying that, Semiramis pulled out a bronze dagger and pointed it at his heart.

In the myth of another world, there is a goddess named Semiramis.

She is the daughter of the goddess of the Euphrates River who was conceived alone. She is a goddess different from human demigods.

The historical prototype of the goddess Semiramis was the regent queen of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

Therefore, the myth of Semiramis has almost the same story line as the Queen of Assyria.

At first, she was just an ordinary queen married to the Assyrian king, but after the death of the Assyrian king, she became the queen who ruled the Assyrian Empire on behalf of her son.

The fact that Semiramis could become a famous queen in history and even be deified as the white dove goddess is enough to prove that she has extraordinary ruling skills.

Looking at Semiramis who made a suicide gesture, Roy couldn't help but say.

"If you were a silly and innocent person without a strong opinion, I would definitely choose you to be my woman without hesitation. You are so strong-willed that it makes me feel embarrassed."

At most, in another six months, Roy will start to be deified after his death.

After Roy's death, a woman with a strong opinion like Semiramis may do something that Roy doesn't want to see.

Although Roy doesn't like people who are too strong-willed.

But Semiramis will obviously be a very capable tool person.

In Roy's plan to rule the Mesopotamian Plain, Semiramis's ability is indispensable.

Thinking of another tool person who can check and balance Semiramis, Roy finally said.

"Princess Semiramis, put down your dagger! If you don't want your family to become lifelong slaves, then become my woman. After you become my woman, although your family will not enjoy the treatment of the royal family and the nobles, as the in-laws of the Athenian royal family, they can live a life of food and clothing with the support of the Athenian royal family. If you refuse to become my woman and serve me, your whole family will either commit suicide or work as lifelong slaves for the rest of your life."

After Roy finished speaking, Semiramis immediately put down the dagger and said.

"I can be your woman, but you have to fulfill your promise and take good care of my family."

Semiramis's sister saw that she was ignored and said unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, what about me? I also want to be your woman."

"Sorry!"

Roy said expressionlessly.

"Although you are also a princess of Babylon and your beauty is one in a thousand, you don't have the ability to be a tool, and I don't have the time to teach you to be a qualified tool. If you are a capable naive, I will definitely choose you, but you look like a simple naive."
