Chapter 449: The Kingdom of Haiti and the Kassites
The world is a linked whole.
While the Athenian and Hittite armies were attacking the Babylonian Kingdom, the Kasite Kingdom of Mesopotamia and the Sumerian Kingdom of Haiti were also taking action.
Now the army of the Kingdom of Kassite is besieging the city of Tutupo in the Kingdom of Babylon, and the army of the Kingdom of Haiti is besieging the city of Malad in the Kingdom of Babylon.
The city of Babylon.
After plundering all the spoils of Babylon, Selene brought Hantili and Tieliepin to the palace.
In the splendid hall.
Selene teased jokingly when she saw Roy sitting on the throne that originally belonged to the Babylonian King Sasuditana.
"It seems that you really want to rule here for a long time. I am here to tell you that we Hittites are leaving with the spoils of war."
"You're leaving now?"
Seeing Roy's dissatisfied expression, Selene said with a smile.
"The Kingdom of Haiti, which now has twelve city-states, is preparing to regain the city-states that originally belonged to the Sumerians. The Kingdom of Kassite, which is more powerful than the Kingdom of Haiti, also wants to carve up the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon. If we don't leave now, are we going to stay? Come down and help you deal with the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite? We in the Hittite Kingdom don’t want to see the Athenian Empire conquer the Mesopotamian Plain. If you don’t want to be driven out of the Mesopotamia by the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite, use your own. Defeat them with strength. If you want us to stay and help you, then pay the price of our hearts.”
Roy shook his head and said.
"I don't need the help of the Hittite Kingdom. Of course I know that you, the Hittite Kingdom, thought that the Athens Empire could not defeat the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite, so you generously gave me the cities you conquered. But I will use Facts have proved to you that conquering Mesopotamia is not as difficult as you think."
"Then I'll wait and see how you conquer the Mesopotamian plains. I think you will definitely fail in the end. After you marry Hatepuna and share advanced technology with the Hittite Kingdom, maybe the Hittite The Kingdom and the Athenian Empire could join forces to divide the Mesopotamian plain."
After Selene left with Hantili and Tieliepin, Semiramis, standing next to Roy, said.
"In order to deal with the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite, I think you can continue to honor my father as the King of Babylon. My father will use his identity as the King of Babylon to order the various city-states of the Kingdom of Babylon to join the Empire of Athens against the Kingdom of Haiti and Kassite Kingdom. When the war is over, you will inherit the throne of Babylon as my father’s son-in-law.”
"Do you think I'm a child?"
Roy said, rolling his eyes at Semiramis.
"Now I am a foreign conqueror, so I can reasonably deprive your father of the throne. If I respect your father as the king of Babylon and become his son-in-law, I cannot reasonably deprive him of the throne. I can only wait. He will inherit the throne after he dies. You don’t have to worry about the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Gasite. I really don’t regard them as a threat.”
The Kingdom of Haiti was composed of twelve Sumerian city-states in the lower reaches of Mesopotamia.
The Kingdom of Kassite was established by the Kassite people who migrated from the Persian Plateau.
The population of the Kingdom of Haiti is approximately 400,000, and the population of the Kingdom of Casita is 300,000.
Because the Kingdom of Kashit is a nomadic nation with a large number of war horses, the Kingdom of Kashit with a smaller population is stronger than the Kingdom of Haiti.
In the history of another world, after the fall of the Kingdom of Babylon, the Kingdom of Kassite seized most of the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon, destroyed the Kingdom of Haiti, and became the new overlord of the Mesopotamian plain.
Because the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite are also hostile to each other, the Kingdom of Haiti can send up to 20,000 soldiers to seize the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon, and the Kingdom of Kassite can send up to 15,000 troops to seize the territory of the Kingdom of Babylon.
In other words, the Athenian Empire only needed to defeat 35,000 people to retain the fruits of victory.
If Selene, Hantili, and Tirepin had not left with the Hittite army, the Athenian army and the Hittite army would have joined forces to defeat the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kassite with ease.
Now--
Roy's troops can be said to be stretched thin.
"It seems that this is the only way."
In a short period of time, Roy did not have enough troops to capture the cities of Tutupo, Kish, Borsippa, Dirbatchen, and Malad in the Kingdom of Babylon, but Roy could not just watch his defeat. The fruits of victory were captured by the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Casita.
So the only way now is for Loy to first defeat the Kingdom of Haiti and the Kingdom of Kashit, and then seize the five city-states of the Kingdom of Babylon.
"Semiramis! Can I trust you?"
Roy looked at Semiramis with a solemn expression and said.
"I plan to take eight thousand soldiers from Babylon. I will give the remaining soldiers to you and make you the ruler of Babylon."
"If you feel you can't trust me, you can make me your woman now."
"That's not necessary!"
Roy shook his head and said.
"If you want to betray me, even if you become my woman, you will still betray me for your family. I will hand over the rule of Babylon to you. If you dare to betray me, I will definitely let your family suffer. A punishment worse than death.”
After making the decision, Roy immediately adjusted the strength of the city of Babylon.
After Roy's 5,000 Athenian soldiers and Babylon's 8,000 soldiers were reorganized, 3,000 Athenian soldiers and 5,000 Babylonian soldiers would be taken away by Roy, and the remaining 2,000 Athenian soldiers and 3,000 Babylonian soldiers would ensure Semiramis' absolute rule over Babylon.
Of course, Roy did not completely trust Semiramis.
So Roy had authorized Aries, and once Semiramis betrayed Roy, Aries could lead his army to attack Babylon.
The next day.
Roy left Babylon with 8,000 troops and headed for Malad, which was being besieged by the Kingdom of Haiti.
When Roy left, Semiramis also took action.
Five messengers left Babylon with a letter written by Semiramis himself and went to Tutupo, Persippa, Dirbat, Kish and Malad respectively.
Before nightfall, the governors of the Amorites in Tutubo, Persippa, Dilbat, Kish, and Marad received cuneiform letters written on clay tablets by Semiramis.
"Let me submit to the emperor of Athens?"
The governor of Marad looked at Semiramis' letter with a complicated expression on his face.
Because Semiramis' letter made a lot of sense.
The era of the Amorites is over now.
Whether the Athenians or the Sumerians and Kassites conquered the Babylonian region, the royal family and nobles of the Amorites could not retain the power and wealth of the past.
The Amorites had a blood feud with the Sumerians and Kassites for hundreds of years, so it was the wisest choice for the Amorites to submit to the foreign Athenians.
The most important thing is -
As an Amorite princess, Semiramis will not only become the woman of Loi, but also the ruler of the Mesopotamian region.
Under the rule of Semiramis, the interests of the Amorites will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
