Chapter 521 Armenian Sun Worship
The current Armenian Plateau can be said to be divided into two.
Because the Aryans who worshiped the sun god invaded the northern part of the Armenian plateau from the Persian plateau, the local Hurits were forced to move south, and the northern part of the Armenian plateau became the territory of the Armenians, a branch of the Aryan people who worshiped the sun god.
In the southern part of the Armenian Plateau, the Hurits originally lived together with the Assyrians, a branch of the Aryans who worshiped the God of Thunder. The Assyrians also established the powerful Assyrian Kingdom.
As the Hurits from the northern part of the Armenian Plateau migrated to the south, the population of the Hurits increased significantly, which led to the rapid decline of the once-powerful Assyrian Kingdom. The southern part of the Armenian Plateau became the territory of the Hurits, and even the once-powerful Assyrian Kingdom The kingdom also became a vassal of the Hurrits.
Roy entered the Armenian Plateau with 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry. He did not intend to conquer the entire Armenian Plateau, but only the northern part of the Armenian Plateau where the Armenians who worshiped the sun god lived.
The Armenians, who live a nomadic life, mainly live around Lake Sevan.
Roy led an army of 70,000 to the west of Lake Sevan, and soon encountered an Armenian tribe worshiping the moon goddess Azlik.
Armenian tribes who worship the moon goddess live around Mount Aragats.
The name Azlik may mean the goddess of Mount Aragats.
The real name of this moon goddess is Anahit. She is not only the goddess of the moon and the goddess of war, she is also worshiped as the goddess of water on the plateau where rainfall is lacking.
After Roy led the cavalry to attack, the Armenians who worshiped the moon goddess Anahit showed little resistance and were completely conquered by 30,000 cavalry.
Aryan moon worship was only a branch of sun worship.
Therefore, the Armenian tribes who worship the moon goddess Anahit have a combined population of only 50,000.
Even if there was one soldier for every five Armenians, only 10,000 soldiers could be mustered out of a population of 50,000.
The Armenians who worshiped the Moon Goddess were unable to fight against Roy's thirty thousand cavalry. This was a normal result.
After leaving 20,000 infantry to manage the Armenian tribes around Mount Aragats, Loy continued to the Yerevan area southwest of Lake Sevan with 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
Three thousand six hundred years later, Yerevan is the capital of Armenia.
Thirty-six hundred years ago now, the Yerevan area was also the main area where Armenians lived.
Because there is a Razdan River connecting Lake Sevan.
When Loy entered the Yerevan area with an army of 50,000 people, the King of Armenia had already summoned an army of 40,000 people from various Armenian tribes and was waiting on the west bank of the Azdan River.
West bank of Azdan River.
A valley suitable for a battlefield.
Roy's 50,000-strong army faced off against the 40,000-strong army of the King of Armenia.
The 40,000-strong army of the King of Armenia were all cavalry, so in this battle, Roy's army did not have an advantage because of its larger number.
Before the start of the human war, the Armenian sun god Areg and moon goddess Anahit took the initiative to come to the battlefield.
Seeing Areg, the sun god, Roy couldn't help but think of Aramazd, the supreme god of Armenia.
Aramazd is the clearly recorded king of the Armenian gods after the Armenian region entered the civilized era.
Aramazd's name means sun, light and life, which proves that thousands of years later, the highest worship in Armenia is still sun worship.
It was not until the Church of the One God swept in that the sun worship in Armenia was replaced by the One God.
After the arrival of the sun god Aleg and the moon goddess Anahit, the sun goddess Mzekali, the moon goddess Medea, the earth goddess Samzmary, and the hunting goddess Dali from the Caucasus also came to the battlefield, following Aleg. Confrontation with Anahit.
"You actually teamed up with other gods to deal with us?"
Seeing that the leader of the hostile goddess turned out to be the sun goddess Mzekali, Areg asked angrily.
"Have you forgotten that we all originated from the sun worship of the ancient Aryans?"
Mzekali said expressionlessly.
"So what if our relationship is equivalent to that of brothers and sisters with the same parents among humans. In order to compete for the throne, humans can kill fathers and sons, brothers, and sisters. We gods can also fight for territory - brothers and sisters. "
Medea looked at Anahit with the eyes of a hunter eyeing his prey and sneered.
"Because the sun and the moon are both unique, I have always felt that the moon goddess other than me is redundant. Dear Anahit, do you mind letting me eat you, and the two of us become two "One body?"
Anahit said in a cold voice without showing any signs of weakness.
"If you want to challenge me stupidly, the end result will be that you are eaten by me."
"What a tough-tongued guy!"
As the sun god and moon goddess on both sides exchanged words, Loy's 50,000-strong army began to fight against the 40,000-strong army of the King of Armenia.
Seeing that the war between humans had begun, Mzekali summoned the golden divine spear and said.
"Sisters! Aleg is my opponent, please don't attack him."
After speaking, Mzekali took the initiative to attack Areg.
Medea also summoned the golden divine spear and said while rushing towards Anahit.
"Anahit is my prey."
Sun Goddess Mzekali and Sun God Areg——
Moon goddess Medea and moon goddess Anahit——
After the war between the gods of four gods with the same origin began, the earth goddess Samzimary and the hunting goddess Dali became the audience of this war of gods.
The 40,000-strong army of the King of Armenia were all cavalry, and in order to defend their homeland, they burst out with a fighting will to fight even to the death.
If Roy had not participated in this war, the final result would have been that the Armenians defeated the Caucasus coalition.
But under Roy's leadership, from the very beginning of this war, the balance of victory had completely tilted to the side of the Caucasus coalition.
The center of the battlefield.
Roy waved his hands to release his divine power, knocking down Armenian knights one after another.
As long as there is enough time, Roy can defeat 40,000 Armenian cavalry by himself.
In the Greek mythology of another world, there is a description of Ares, the god of war, being able to destroy a hundred thousand Greek coalition forces by himself.
Areg, who was fighting with Mzekali, saw Roy's performance and immediately asked angrily.
"What's wrong with you? Why, as a god, can you violate the gods' rules and attack humans?"
"Because I'm not a god!"
Roy said as he approached the King of Armenia.
"You have seen that I have a human body, but you actually think that I am the same god as you?"
"Are you kidding! It's impossible for humans to do what you--"
"I didn't say I was human either!"
Roy interrupted Areg and said.
"I am a being between humans and gods, so although I am not a human, I am not a real god either. This is why I am not restricted by the rules of gods."
After speaking, Roy jumped over a human wall and directly attacked the Armenian King.
Although the King of Armenia was prepared for Roy's attack, he was only a demigod hero and could not even see Roy's swift movement.
