Chapter 487 The Moon Goddess and the Plague God

West of Nairik City.

The Palekian camp.

When Roy led the Athenian army to attack Nairik City, seeing that Roy's soldiers did not decrease significantly, Telepin frowned and questioned Anna.

"What's going on? We have already put the seeds of plague in all the nearby water sources, why didn't Roy's soldiers decrease?"

Anna said at a loss.

"I don't know what's going on... We have used this method to deal with so many enemies, why didn't it work this time?"

Telepin looked at Anna expressionlessly and said.

"It seems that your Apollo is not as powerful as you boast. I am so stupid. If Apollo is really powerful, how could you Palek people not even have your own city-state."

"Telepin, I don't allow you to slander the great Apollo!"

Just as Telepin and Anna were arguing, Selene attacked with 5,000 soldiers.

After Telepin led his soldiers to fight, he saw that his enemy was actually Selene incarnated as a human, and he questioned Selene unwillingly.

"Great Moon Goddess, why do you help that human? I am a real Hittite, why don't you help me defeat Roy?"

"Telepin, you are so stupid."

Selene came to Telepin and explained while attacking.

"My sister and I are not gods that belong only to the Hittites! The people living in our territory, whether they are Hittites or Hattites, will be treated equally by us. Now you Hittites will be defeated and conquered by Roy because you only want to enslave the Hattites and do not treat the Hattites as compatriots. If the Hattites and Hittites can unite as one, how could Roy conquer the 1.5 million people of the Hittite Kingdom with 10,000 soldiers."

The Hittites treated the Hattites as slaves, and the Hittite Kingdom would only fall into endless internal friction. The Hittites must use their main strength to suppress the rebellion of the Hattites.

In the history of another world, the Hittites were able to establish the Hittite Empire because after the Hittites conquered the Hattites, they spent more than 200 years to achieve the assimilation and integration of the Hittites and Hattites.

As the Hittite king who usurped the throne in another world, Telepin was certainly not a fool.

He also knew that the Hittites, as a minority, had always treated the majority Hattites as slaves, and the Hittite Kingdom would eventually collapse.

Roy treated the Hittites and the Hattites equally, which was the most correct development direction for the Hittite Kingdom.

"What a ruthless god!"

Telepin complained with gritted teeth.

"As long as the Hattites are willing to worship you, you will treat the Hittites and the Hattites equally? Have you forgotten that you are the patron saint of the Hittites?"

"Telepin, my sister and I have not let the Hittites down."

Selene said calmly.

"The choice my sister and I have made now is the best result for the Hittites. You have betrayed the Hittites and joined the Paleks, so what qualifications do you have to blame me and my sister?"

After that, Selene used a fierce attack to pick up the iron spear in Telepin's hand and then used her own spear blade to press against Telepin's neck.

After Telepin closed his eyes and waited for death, Selene did not kill Telepin.

"Telepin, perhaps your choice can create another future for the Hittites."

Selene took back the spear blade from Telepin's neck and said.

"You can work hard for another future for the Hittites with the Hittites who follow you!"

"Goddess Selene--"

Telepin opened his eyes and looked at Selene in confusion.

"You want me to migrate to other places with my followers and rebuild a country ruled by the Hittites?"

"You have the potential to become a king! If you didn't appear in the same era as Roy--"

Before Selene finished speaking, a black arrow suddenly fell from the sky and attacked Selene.

Clang!

Selene waved the spear blade to block the black arrow, and then looked in the direction where the arrow flew.

At this time, a god dressed as a hunter and holding a silver bow was standing in the clouds with a height of one kilometer.

"Gali [Smythus Apollo]——"

Seeing Apollo, the patron saint of the Palaeks, Selene teased jokingly.

"You, a shady rat [Smythus], dared to challenge me, so I will teach you a lesson."

After that, Selene turned into a goddess with a height of one kilometer and wings on her back, and flew to Apollo in the clouds at a speed like teleportation.

In the mythology of another world, Apollo possessed the gods of light, prophecy, music, poetry, medicine, and laws.

But that was 1,200 years BC, when the Greeks conquered the Troy region and created the Apollo belonging to the Greeks, not the original Apollo of the Asia Minor Peninsula.

At this time, it was still four hundred years before the Greeks created their Apollo. As the prototype of Apollo, Gali [Smythus Apollo] was the patron saint of the nomadic Palaeks, the bow god who was in charge of hunting and the plague god who spread the plague.

In Hittite mythology, Apollo's name was Apaliunas.

Perhaps the name Apollo is a change of pronunciation from Apaliu.

In the clouds.

Before Selene could fly in front of Apollo, Apollo summoned a golden sword to block Selene's attack.

With a clang!

After Apollo's golden sword collided with Selene's spear blade, Apollo said expressionlessly.

"What a ruthless goddess, do you want to kill me?"

The Paleks are also a branch of the Aryans from the East European Plain.

In the mythology of another world, Apollo is a god from the Asia Minor Peninsula far away from the Greek mainland, but he is attributed to the son of Zeus, perhaps because Apollo and Zeus are both Aryan gods.

As an Aryan god, Selene is certainly not unfamiliar with Apollo.

"You just attacked me with the arrow of plague, but now you say I want to kill you?"

"That was just a greeting, my arrows can't hurt you."

Apollo's arrows are of course a hundred percent accurate when used against humans.

Selene is a more powerful god than Apollo, so Apollo's arrows can't hurt Selene.

Clang clang clang——

Selene said jokingly while waving the spear blade to attack fiercely.

"Whether you say hello or not, I must defeat you."

From the west of the Hittite Kingdom to the Troy region in the northwest corner of the Anatolian Peninsula, it is the territory where the Paleks live.

Hundreds of thousands of Paleks live in this vast area.

As the patron saint of hundreds of thousands of Paleks, Apollo should have been more powerful than Selene.

But the Paleks are a nomadic people with backward civilization.

In the tribes of the Paleks, usually only the leaders can use bronze weapons, and others can only use wooden spears or stone spears.

Because the Paleks are backward in civilization and weapons, although Apollo has hundreds of thousands of people, his divine power level is about the same as that of the patron saint of a large city-state with a population of 50,000.

As the sister and subordinate god of Alina, the queen of the gods of the Hittite Kingdom, Selene's power and prestige far surpass those of ordinary patron saints of large city-states.

So from the beginning of the battle between Selene and Apollo, Apollo was unilaterally suppressed by Selene.
