Chapter 451 The Reason Why You Will Inevitably Fail
boom--
In response to Iruma Migal's prayer, Enlil, the patron saint of Nippur and Enlil, the protector of the Kingdom of Haiti and the king of the gods, descended on the battlefield with a huge figure of a thousand meters tall.
But the only god who came to the battlefield was Enlil.
The water god Enki, the sun god Utu, the moon god Nanna, the Venus goddess Inanna, the earth and sea goddess Ninhursag, and the healing goddess Gula——
These kings of gods, older than Enlil, did not come.
Even Ninurta, the god of agriculture and war, and Shela, the god of war, did not appear.
Obviously, the Kingdom of Haiti is also a confederation of city-states.
Each city-state nominally submitted to the King of Haiti, but in fact the princes of each city-state had great autonomy.
This situation does not appear now. When the Babylonian Kingdom of the Amorites conquered the Sumer region, the Sumer region was in a state of autonomous city-state princes.
So when Iruma Irum, the founder of the Kingdom of Haiti, launched a rebellion against the Kingdom of Babylon, ten city-states that broke away from the Kingdom of Babylon suddenly appeared in Sumer.
Except for the city of Enlil, the other nine city-states were not conquered by Iruma Irum, but when Iruma Irum announced a rebellion, the princes who ruled these city-states rebelled together.
Enlil was just a new city.
If no miracle occurred, even if all the men in Enlil City died on the battlefield, Iruma Irum would not be able to conquer nine tenaciously resisting city-states with the power of one city.
Seeing that only one god, Enlil, had arrived in the Kingdom of Haiti, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Kingdom of Haiti is also an autonomous city-state. If Roy wants to conquer this scattered sand, he should not encounter stubborn resistance.
"Enlil, do you want to be my opponent?"
Aphrodite summoned the black divine spear with her right hand, looked at Enlil with a smile and said.
"Now you are the king of the gods in the Kingdom of Haiti. If I defeat you, will all the Sumerian gods surrender to me?"
"Arrogant goddess, how dare you challenge the king of the gods."
Enlil summoned the golden spear and pointed it at Aphrodite and said.
"Goddess Aphrodite in the Phoenician region, I know that you are as powerful as Inanna, the goddess of Venus. Some ignorant humans do not understand your differences and even regard you and Inanna as the same goddess. Inanna Inanna was once the Queen of the Gods in the Mesopotamian plains. Even if you are powerful enough to rival Inanna, you will not be able to defeat me, because the proud and powerful Venus goddess Inanna has now surrendered to me. "
"Oh - do you think I am an ignorant human being?"
Aphrodite teased teasingly.
"I heard that one hundred and fifty years ago, Inanna, the goddess of Venus, was seriously injured by Marduk. In order to eliminate the threat of the city of Uruk guarded by Inanna, the Kingdom of Babylon even demolished the city of Larsa and Uru The walls of Ke and Ur. You actually boast that you are stronger than the seriously injured Inanna, which further highlights your weakness. Enlil! Even if some ignorant humans regard Inanna as the same god. It doesn’t mean that if Inanna becomes weaker, I will also become weaker.”
After saying that, Aphrodite stretched out her white wings on her back and attacked Enlil with lightning speed.
While Aphrodite and Enlil were engaged in the battle of gods, Loy was also capturing prisoners on the battlefield.
Of the eight thousand soldiers sent by Iruma Migal to fight Roy, more than a thousand were killed, and more than two thousand fled back. More than 4,000 people were taken prisoner.
After Roy handed over the captives to the management of the Babylonian soldiers, he prepared to launch a second round of attacks on Iruma Migal.
At this time, Iruma Migal gathered the deserters and restored his strength to more than 12,000 people.
On the surface, Iruma Migal's army had a four-fold numerical advantage.
In fact, Iruma Migal knew very well that his soldiers had been frightened by the terrifying combat power displayed by Roy's three thousand cavalry.
Faced with the cavalry, which was the most powerful weapon of this era for thousands of years, Iruma Migal could not think of a way to defeat Roy.
After some thinking, Iruma Migal took the initiative and shouted to Roy.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it seems that this is indeed a wrong war. I am willing to give up taking back the city-states that originally belonged to us Sumerians in exchange for us to live in peace in the future. I can even - I can even surrender to you and help you Dominate the Mesopotamian plains."
Hearing Iruma Migal's words, Roy shook his head without hesitation.
"My Athenian Empire does not allow nobles to exist. Except for the royal family centered on me, everyone in the Athenian Empire is a commoner. I know that the rulers of various city-states in Sumer will definitely not voluntarily give up the wealth and wealth they currently possess. power, so I will not accept your surrender unless you are willing to let me take away your power and become a civilian."
"You want to deprive the rulers of various city-states of their wealth and power?"
Hearing Roy's words, Iruma Migal's eyes widened in shock.
Because this was something he couldn't even imagine.
If Iruma Migal wanted to deprive the rulers of various city-states of their wealth and power, the rulers of these city-states would definitely join forces to overthrow his throne.
Before Iruma Migal could recover from the shock, Roy led three thousand cavalry to attack.
After coming back to his senses, Iruma Migal was faced with the choice of fighting or escaping, and finally gritted his teeth and chose to fight.
"Brave soldiers of the Kingdom of Haiti! The enemy's cavalry is nothing to be afraid of. We can defeat them with our numerical advantage."
If Roy's cavalry did not have the advantage of advanced weapons and equipment, the victory of this war would indeed belong to Iruma Migal.
It's a pity that Iruma Migal, whose thinking stayed in the Bronze Age, could not imagine the gap in strength between the Iron Age and the Bronze Age.
Roy's 3,000 cavalry rushed to Iruma Migal's army. The result of this dimensionality reduction attack was no suspense.
Even if all of Iruma Migal's soldiers were fearless, they could not make up for the insurmountable gap in strength.
What's more, --
Iruma Migal could not make his soldiers fearless.
Roy's cavalry really rushed to the front, and saw that the attacks of their own soldiers could not cause any damage to these cavalry wearing iron armor. Iruma Migal's soldiers quickly collapsed in morale and fled like headless flies.
When Roy rushed to Iruma Migal, most of the soldiers around him had already fled, leaving only some loyal guards to protect him.
"What a surprise, you didn't run away."
Looking at Iruma Migal with a desperate expression, Roy teased jokingly.
"It seems that you want to die on the battlefield."
"I can't understand why there is such a huge gap between our soldiers."
Iruma Migal looked at Roy with pleading eyes.
"Tell me, why can you defeat me so easily?"
"Because the Athenian Empire has mastered iron."
Roy explained frankly.
"The weapons we make of iron are sharper than bronze weapons. The armor we make of iron is the strongest armor in the world. We have the best weapons and the best armor in the world. Even if you have a numerical advantage, your failure is inevitable."
