Chapter 545 Prelude to Conquering the Persian Plateau

Kumarbi, the patron saint of the Hurits, and Ashur, the patron saint of the Assyrians, were resolved, and the war of the Athenian Empire to conquer the Hurits and the Assyrians naturally had no suspense.

After all, the Athenian soldiers used iron weapons to reduce dimensionality. Without the intervention of the gods, it was impossible for the Hurits and Assyrians to bridge the insurmountable strength gap between the soldiers of the two sides.

After Roy handed over the follow-up development of the war to Nefertiti, Roy came to Babylon alone.

1598 BC.

September.

The royal palace of Babylon.

Roy sat on the throne in the hall with Andromeda in his arms, and Andromeda asked curiously.

"Honey, you are looking for me now, do you want me to send troops into the Hulet area?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"Neftiti's soldiers are enough to conquer the Hulit area. I really want you to send troops when I come to you, but your combat target is not the Hulit area, but the Persian plateau. Not only you, but even Se Miramis will also send troops into the Persian plateau."

The Persian Plateau covers an area of ​​about 270 million square kilometers, including Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

If Roy wants to conquer the huge Persian plateau and actually rule, he must mobilize at least [-] troops.

Therefore, not only Andromeda, but also Semiramis must contribute to the war of the Athenian Empire to conquer the Persian plateau.

"Why do we want to conquer the Persian plateau?"

Andromeda asked suspiciously.

"Honey, does the Athenian Empire have no borders and you want to conquer all the lands?"

Now half of the Mediterranean has become the inner lake of the Athenian Empire, and the territory of the Athenian Empire is unprecedentedly large.

So Andromeda really couldn't understand that Roy wanted to go east—and it was the idea of ​​expanding the territory of the Persian Plateau.

After all, in this era, fertile plains are the most suitable for survival.

Roy said confidently.

"Andromeda! Now the Aryans live a nomadic life in the Persian plateau, so you think the Persian plateau has no value worthy of our conquest. But I can tell you that the Persian plateau has about 60 square kilometers of land suitable for agricultural development Planting. Moreover, the Persian Plateau has one-tenth of the world's oil reserves, and one-sixth of the world's natural gas reserves. Even if the Persian Plateau does not have 60 square kilometers of agricultural land, we have to use the Persian Plateau for rich natural resources. Incorporated into the territory of the Athenian Empire."

In addition to oil and natural gas, the Persian Plateau is also rich in mineral resources, known as the [World Mineral Museum].

The 68 proven minerals account for [-]% of the world's total reserves.

Roy didn't even let go of the severely desertified Amori Peninsula, and of course he wouldn't let go of the Persian Plateau.

Although Andromeda did not understand the value of oil, natural gas, and various minerals, she learned that the Persian plateau had about 60 square kilometers of arable land, so she no longer opposed Roy's conquest of the Persian plateau.

After convincing Andromeda, Roy went on to Uruk.

The royal palace of Uruk.

After Roy explained his intentions, Semiramis directly agreed to Roy's plan.

"Honey! Although I agree with your plan, I can't help you gather the Sumerians."

Semiramis said helplessly.

"I am the princess of the Amorites. It is good that the Sumerians have not rebelled under my rule. They cannot answer my call to be your soldiers, so you must call the Sumerians to this war yourself. .”

After Semiramis finished speaking, Gilgamesh's voice immediately rang in Roy's ear.

"King of Athens, let me help you summon the Sumerians!"

As the hero god of the Sumerians for thousands of years, Gilgamesh does have enough prestige to call on the Sumerians.

Considering that Gilgamesh could not threaten him, Roy responded.

"Gilgamesh! I allow you to come again and complete the feat of conquering the Persian Plateau with me."

mid-September.

Gilgamesh entered the Elam region with an army of [-] to wipe out the remnants of the Elamites.

After wiping out the remnants of the Elamites, Gilgamesh will lead an army of [-] across the Zagros Mountains and into the southern Persian Plateau.

West side of the Zagros Mountains.

Roy finds Isssinac, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Elam, in an open-air temple, and attacks the feeble god.

As the patron saint, the strength of Yissinac is closely related to the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Elam.

If the Elamites are strong, Isssinac's strength will become stronger.

Now that the Elamites are about to be conquered by an army of [-] led by Gilgamesh, Issinek's strength is weakened to the extreme.

Facing Roy's attack, the King of Light and Darkness worshiped by the Elamites only lasted for a few rounds before falling into a disadvantage and trying to escape from Roy.

boom -

Just when Yissinek was about to escape, a golden divine light suddenly descended from the sky.

The next moment!

Isssinac was nailed to the ground by a golden spear.

The owner of the golden spear is the goddess Inanna from Sumer.

Unexpectedly, Inanna would come to help her on her own initiative, Luo Yi said in surprise.

"Dear Goddess Inanna, I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to help me."

"Don't get me wrong!"

Inanna said as she stepped on Issinek.

"I'm just here to defeat the hostile gods and get the merits that belong to the gods. I'm not here to help you."

Roy blinked and said.

"Then after you get the merit, do you want me to increase your territory?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Inanna asked back.

"Don't you want to add corresponding territories to me after I get the merits?"

"Of course I will increase the corresponding territory for you."

Roy said with a smile.

"But Isssinac is not a strong enemy, so defeating him will only get you the Elam region."

"Next, I will act with you to help you defeat the Aryan gods on the Persian plateau. With the achievements of defeating the Aryan gods, it is not too much for you to give me half of the Persian plateau!"

Half of the Persian plateau—

It is about 130 million square kilometers in area.

Hearing that Inanna's lion opened its mouth wide, Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"When you become my wife, I will allow you to have such a huge territory."

While speaking, Roy walked up to Inanna, looked at Issinek who was stepped on by Inanna and said.

"Issusinnak! In the past you were the patron saint of the Elamites, the sun god who ruled the day and the lord of darkness who ruled the night. But from now on, the Elamites no longer need your protection, great sun The god Phaeton will become the new patron saint of the Elamites, and you can fall with peace of mind."

After finishing speaking, Roy aimed his right hand at Yissinac and released the blazing sun fire.

Naturally, Yissinek would not fall and disappear willingly.

Facing the fate of falling and disappearing, Yisu Shinak glared at Roy with eyes full of hatred and said.

"Sad victors! I curse you one day to usher in Ragnarok and leave this world."
