Chapter 591 The Moon Goddess of Iberia
Gaul and the British Isles combined cover an area of approximately one million square kilometers.
Even if the Athens Empire had the military power to reduce dimensionality, it would not be possible to incorporate this huge area into its territory in a short time.
In order to speed up the expansion of the Athenian Empire, Roy divided the 30,000 Athenian cavalry into two parts.
Leaving the 20,000 Athenian cavalry as the main force to Caesar, Roy himself took 10,000 Athenian cavalry into the Iberian Peninsula [Spanish Peninsula].
As long as the Iberian Peninsula is included in the territory of the Athenian Empire, the northern part of the Mediterranean world-the entire European continent will become the territory of the Athenian Empire.
The Iberian Peninsula is located in the southwest corner of the Europa continent, bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the east and southeast, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Bay of Biscay to the north.
The Pyrenees Mountains are in the northeastern part of the peninsula and are the natural dividing line between the Iberian Peninsula and Gaul.
To the south it faces Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Iberian Peninsula covers an area of about 580,000 square kilometers and has about 1,800 rivers. The longest river is the Tagus River.
Non-ferrous metal minerals are abundant here, but energy minerals are relatively scarce.
The central part of the Iberian Peninsula has a temperate continental climate, while the southern part has a Mediterranean climate, with warm and humid winters and hot and dry summers.
The northern part has a temperate maritime climate, with mild and rainy weather all year round.
Humans have inhabited the Iberian Peninsula 800,000 years ago.
They settled mainly along the Mediterranean coast and further south, where the Iberians created many different cultures.
Paleolithic murals are hidden in some caves, dating from about 40,000 BC to 10,000 BC.
Before 4000 BC, a group of people who worshiped the ancient earth goddess migrated to the Iberian Peninsula with Neolithic civilization and technology, conquering and assimilating the local indigenous Iberians.
It was not until the ancient Aryans invaded the Iberian Peninsula that the rule of the Earth Goddess over the Iberian Peninsula began to waver.
1597 BC.
September.
Roy entered the Iberian Peninsula with ten thousand Athenian cavalry.
Because the Iberians lived in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean coast, Roy's army also moved south along the Mediterranean.
When he came to the first Iberian tribe, Roy was surprised to find that this Iberian tribe had been conquered by the Aryan tribe who worshiped the sun god and moon goddess, and became a vassal that paid tribute to the Aryans.
Seeing that the Athenian soldiers were all knights on war horses, the Iberians regarded the Athenian army as fellow Aryans and offered food, drinks and young girls.
Roy rejected all the tributes offered by the Iberians and told the Iberian tribes that the Iberian Peninsula would henceforth be the territory of the Athenian Empire.
Under the protection of Athenian soldiers, the Iberians would no longer suffer enslavement and oppression from any foreign group.
Compared to the Aryans who enslaved and oppressed the Iberians, Lowe's declaration was naturally supported by the Iberians.
As long as the Athenian army defeated the Aryans, they could take advantage of the conflict between the Aryans and the Iberians to effectively rule the Iberian Peninsula.
The Athenian army marched southward, liberating all the Iberian tribes they encountered along the way.
October.
The Athenian army finally encountered the Aryan tribes who worshiped the moon goddess in the middle of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Aryan tribes who worshiped the Moon Goddess were attacking the Iberian tribes who worshiped the Earth Goddess.
The Aryan Moon Goddess is also engaged in a goddess war with the Iberian Earth Goddess.
South bank of the Tagus River.
A war continues from day to night.
The Aryan Moon Goddess stood barefoot on the grass, with beautiful silver hair scattered freely, and wearing a silver crown made of the light of the moon.
Confronting the Moon Goddess was the black-haired Earth Goddess. She had a stubborn and delicate face and never gave in to the powerful Moon Goddess.
Roy led the Athenian army into the battlefield, and happened to hear the Moon Goddess speaking to the Earth Goddess.
"It's over! You stupid goddess who fought against me will be punished for your pride. I will drive you off the throne and reduce your image to an evil god and demon."
At the same time as the Moon Goddess made the announcement——
The tribe of the Moon Goddess conquered the tribe of the Earth Goddess, lit the temple of the Earth Goddess with fire, and toppled the statue of the Earth Goddess.
The Earth Goddess, who was kicked off her throne, was no longer able to fight against the Moon Goddess.
As the Moon Goddess stretched out her hands to release her divine power to restrain the Earth Goddess, the Earth Goddess's body began to twist and deform.
In the lamentation of the Earth Goddess, the Earth Goddess's body below the waist turned into a snake body, with two black wings stretching out from her back.
Seeing this scene, Roy couldn't help but said.
"You are also a goddess. Isn't it too cruel to keep her in this form?"
The winged bird and the earth serpent are just sacred animals that symbolize the goddess of the earth.
Although the Earth Goddess can take the form of a human-headed snake and a winged snake, these forms are not the Earth Goddess's true form.
The Earth Goddess was born from the concept that women can give birth to life, so the figure of a woman is the essence of the Earth Goddess.
"you--"
Hearing Roy's words, the Moon Goddess looked at Roy in surprise.
"You are not an ordinary human being."
Roy ordered the Athenian army to defeat the Aryans who worshiped the Moon Goddess, and then spoke to the Moon Goddess.
"I am the man who will defeat you, conquer you, and become your master and husband. Seeing the cruel things you did to the Earth Goddess, I can also attack you without hesitation."
After saying that, Roy flew above the Moon Goddess and the Earth Goddess, and his body burst into dazzling light.
"This is the same Sun Goddess as my brother--"
Shrouded by the light that Roy burst into, the Moon Goddess asked in disbelief.
"Are you another brother?"
"Of course I am your brother!"
Roy laughed playfully.
"Wait until I swallow up your real brother, and I will be your only brother."
"You are not my brother!"
After the Moon Goddess calmed down, she glared at Roy with gritted teeth.
"Your body is a human body, so you are just a human who usurped the Sun Goddess."
"That's right! I was indeed a human."
Roy admitted frankly.
"But if you don't admit that I am your brother, I will let another Moon Goddess swallow you up and let you be my sister as part of her."
"Arrogant human!"
The Moon Goddess said angrily.
"I am completely irritated by you now. Tell me your identity and you are qualified to be my enemy."
"I am the emperor of the Athenian Empire, Roy, and the only sun god Phaethon in the Athenian Empire."
"I am the moon goddess Shana!"
After Roy introduced himself, the moon goddess also introduced herself.
"Although I don't have my brother's flaming hair and burning eyes, my moonlight is like an arrow, so I am also a hunting goddess."
After that, the moon goddess-Shana summoned a golden bow and silver arrows to aim at Roy.
"The moon goddess actually wants to challenge the sun god-"
Seeing that Shana really wanted to fight with him, Roy released the blazing sun fire to wrap his whole body, and then said to Shana.
"Just try it and see if your attack can hurt me."
