I, Son of Tiamat

"In this war, Kish's soldiers have lost 90%. The accumulated anger and dissatisfaction of Kish's slaves and civilians will erupt because of this situation. This is Kish's internal trouble soon."

"Humph!" King Aga of Kish sneered at Qiye's remarks, "As long as there is a Kish soldier, those slaves and civilians will not dare to resist Kish."

In this era, there are distinct classes, and it is clearly stipulated that subordinates cannot slap their bosses, otherwise Gilgamesh would not be so easy to enslave the people of Uruk to build walls.

But ah...

Qiye smiled slightly, "I have been to Kish before, and I know very well that slaves and civilians are dissatisfied with the class above the soldiers. As long as we send personnel to induce the slaves and civilians who have been persecuted by Kish, they may take the opportunity. Escape Kish."

"Slaves and civilians did not dare to resist, but they would escape, and Kish, managed by only 10% of the soldiers, was the best chance to escape."

When Seven Nights and Semiramis lived in Kish, there was a collective escape of slaves, all because of Kish's brutal oppression.

Under the circumstance that Kish had 100% of the soldiers, there were several incidents of slave escapes, so now there is only one layer of soldiers left in Kish...

If Kish's slaves knew that Kish's army had collapsed, they would definitely seize this opportunity to escape from Kish, a **** that is even more terrifying than the underworld.

"Also, everyone in Mesopotamia knows that Kish is extremely cruel, but he also has rich wealth plundered everywhere. I think some countries will use the slogan of 'just crusade' to go to Kish plundered."

"This is a foreign invasion not long after Kish."

With Aga, the king of Kish, looking unsightly, Qiye said the last sentence slowly, "That's why I feel that Kish will turn from the most powerful city into ruins in the near future."

"Slave Aga, don't worry." Gilgamesh smiled happily, "This king will not cut off your head soon, and will let you live forever, seeing with your own eyes how proud you are How the Kish collapsed."

"Evil spirit... You are an evil spirit that came out of the underworld!" King Aga of Kish roared in resentment and indignation. He has been living as a slave and was beaten and enslaved. How could he, a noble one, accept such a thing!

"This king is the king of Uruk, not the evil spirit of the underworld." Gilgamesh grinned, and he looked down at Aga, the king of Kish, "Now, do you agree to accept the conditions of the clay tablet or reject it."

"..." Aga, the King of Kish, looked at the clay tablet in his hand and the rough rope on the ground. He held the clay tablet into his arms in humiliation and helplessness.

"In the name of the king of Kish... I accepted Uruk's conditions and agreed to negotiate with the king."

Kish slaves played by soldiers of Uruk: To stay as a slave is to die! Getting caught is also dead! Left to be enslaved to death, there is no doubt of death! Get away with nine deaths!

I ran away, you can do whatever you want!

Kish slaves: All of them are evil spirits here. They speak ruthlessly, and the whips are painful. I hate them here! Take me to escape!

Chapter 66 Chapter 65

"Hahahahaha~" Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, let out a cheerful and wanton laughter, and Qiye couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing Gilgamesh's cheerful laughter, Chief Priest Siduri's expression became strange, because she did not expect Aga, the King of Kish, to accept this whimsical redemption condition.

She even more did not expect this seemingly impossible condition to be accepted by Aga, the King of Kish, with a few words from the sage.

Although Aga, the king of Kish, accepted it, whether this condition can be fulfilled is another matter...

And the most important reason for Ajia to accept this condition, perhaps he just wanted to delay his end of being stripped naked and parading in the street by accepting this condition.

"Hahaha~" Gilgamesh stopped his laughter, and pointed to Aga, the king of Kish, and said, "Chief priests and soldiers, take our good slave Aga down and let him negotiate by himself. The clay tablet, and then hand it over to the king and the sages for review."

"Yes!"

Uruk's soldiers took away the lost King Aga of Kish, and the chief priest Siduri, who was in charge of the negotiations, also left the palace.

"Qiye, you are also very happy now, our Uruk is about to get the city of Kish." Gilgamesh looked sideways at Qiye and said, his handsome face was full of happy expressions.

"If you really get Kish... I really don't think it's a good thing, at least for the current Uruk, it's not a good thing." Qiye shook his head, "Uruk is now developing at a high speed. It is enough to focus on the development of Uruk.”

"If you want to go to Kish to manage the city, Uruk doesn't know how many soldiers, priests, and nobles to go there."

"That's right, although it's a bit embarrassing for the king, Uruk really doesn't have the extra manpower and energy to manage Kish."

Gilgamesh returned to his senses after laughing happily, and after thinking calmly, he said to Qiye, "Then let's move Kish directly, and move all Kish's wealth to Uruk, then Just leave a city over there and let it fend for itself."

If Uruk gets all the wealth of Kish smoothly, then Uruk's treasury will skyrocket in an instant, and there will be more slaves to build Uruk.

After all, Uruk really has no way to assign a part of the staff to manage Kish.

"Let's think about it this way. Although Aga, the King of Kish, accepted the condition of redemption, I don't think Uruk will get Kish."

Qiye has never held out much hope for things that cannot be obtained. Even if the final negotiation with the king fails, it does not matter that Uruk did not get Kish.

Because Uruk has earned a lot in this war.

Among them are 90% of Kish soldiers and slaves, and... huge prestige.

These slaves can be used for labor and trade, which can make Uruk prosperous, and the prestige gained by defeating the Kish army will make Uruk shine even more.

After all, the small Uruk actually defeated the unmatched and powerful Kish. From this point of view, the rise of the city of Uruk is inevitable, and it is possible to defeat the most powerful Kish army, no matter how you think about it. It's a very suitable place to live.

If a city wants to develop rapidly, the population is very important, and the prestige will attract the population, they will definitely be satisfied with this vibrant city of Uruk and live there.

The victory of the war gave Uruk wealth and prestige.

"Seven nights, it's time to prepare sacrifices to the gods. This king has to dedicate the victory of Uruk to the city gods. You will prepare later and go to the temple of Inanna with this king for sacrifice." Gilgamesh faced Qiye. said.

"You are trying to betray the gods, and you still want to sacrifice to the gods." Qiye glanced at Gilgamesh.

"Because this is the rule, any major celebration or victory over the enemy must be sacrificed at the temple of the city god, thanking the **** for the prosperity and victory."

Gilgamesh smacked his lips. He was different from the people of this era. He didn't have a lot of reverence for gods, so he didn't think that defeating Kish's army was to thank the gods.

Because it was not the gods who helped Uruk win Kish, if Uruk wanted to thank him, he should thank this black-haired and white-robed sage.

It was his black powder and the flood that completely defeated Kish's powerful army.

"As for sacrificing gods... After this king has not made Uruk the most prosperous and powerful city, and he has not obtained the kingship bestowed by the gods himself, the gods and humans cannot be separated."

"So before this goal is achieved, this king, like other kings, is a good king who respects gods." Gilgamesh smiled happily at Qiye.

Now Gilgamesh's smile is like a priest hiding his thoughts and preparing to stab his teacher in the back...

"Then go by yourself, I will never thank the gods of Mesopotamia." The son of Tiamat waved his hand and refused Gilgamesh's invitation.

"Go, during the sacrifice, the group of sacrificers and nobles will kneel down to you one by one, and then kiss the insteps to show their respect and support for us."

Kneeling down and kissing the instep is the most solemn and respectful etiquette.

"Then I'm even more reluctant to go! I like being kissed by strangers!"

Qiye with goosebumps stood up from the throne, "Anyway, Jill, go by yourself, don't call me, if someone asks me where I am, you can say that I was too tired to study black powder before, and now all the sequelae have erupted, fainting. dead."

Looking at Qiye who just left, Gilgamesh shouted to his back, "You must remember to come and participate in the celebration feast after the sacrifice."

"Why is there a celebration feast? Didn't it happen last night?"

"This is different. Last night was the celebration of the king and the residents of Uruk, which is equivalent to a private congratulation. Didn't you find that there were no priests and nobles at the scene, and the celebration feast after the sacrifice included priests and nobles. A feast for the inhabitants," Gilgamesh explained.

"Then I will come over then." Qiye nodded.

"It just so happened that the wine you bought from you just ran out last night. After the celebration feast starts, remember to bring the wine to this king."

"Dare you invite me to the celebration banquet because you are greedy for my family's wine." Qiye laughed dumbly.

"Isn't it normal to be greedy for your wine? Could it be that you think you have something else that can make this king greedy?"

Do you want to drink? You are greedy...

Cough cough ~ ask for a ticket

Chapter 67 Chapter 66 The Holy Anointing

Uruk defeated the attacking Kish army and captured the king of Kish Aga and most of the Kish soldiers. The news spread throughout southern Mesopotamia within three days. .

When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was to doubt, because although they didn't know Uruk's situation very well, they were very clear about Kish's situation.

The powerful army of Kish, who holds the kingship, is not comparable to that of Nippur, the **** of the gods, so when Kish dispatched 90% of the army, Uruk actually won...

And Uruk not only won that simple, it also captured Aga, the king of Kish, and a large number of Kish soldiers.

In this era of no means of communication, other people simply don't know how the battle between Uruk and Kish is, and they can only obtain relevant information through travelers and merchants who came out of Uruk.

But those travelers and businessmen who were released from prison by Gilgamesh didn't know much. They only heard the deafening explosion, and they didn't know what happened on the battlefield.

As for the soldiers of Kish, they were still asleep under the influence of Semiramis' poison. No soldier could tell the outside world about the terrible things that happened on the battlefield at that time.

No matter how the outside world questioned the news, it didn't affect Uruk, because Uruk had already fallen into a lively and noisy grand celebration banquet.

During these three days, all the items for the sacrifice to the city **** have been prepared. Uruk started the most lively celebration, and the whole city was rejoicing.

At the moment when the sun was shining, Gilgamesh came out under the attention of everyone. He is now wearing a gorgeous robe, and his golden hair rose into the sky because of the holy ointment, revealing A clean forehead.

Accompanied by soldiers and servants, Gilgamesh walked towards the temple of the city **** Inanna. The residents of Uruk on both sides looked at Gilgame, who was slowly walking along the road in front of them, with frenzied expressions. Mish.

Although the king was brutal and savage, he did protect Uruk. Facing the unreasonable orders of the mighty Kish, he did not kneel down and ordered the residents of Uruk to help Kish. Dig wells.

This is enough to win the respect and worship of the residents of Uruk.

Gilgamesh, who exuded majesty and nobility, stepped onto the tower. On the stairs, priests and nobles were lined up, and they were arranged in ranks.

Whenever Gilgamesh came to their side, they kneeled respectfully on the stairs, kissed Gilgamesh's instep lightly, and expressed his respect and worship to the king of Uruk.

After Gilgamesh made the decision to rebel against Kish, some priests and nobles held objections, and now they all kneeled down reverently and kissed Gilgamesh's feet.

A grand sacrificial ceremony is being held.

As for Qiye, he was not in this group. He and Semiramis were on the roof of the building far away from the lively crowd, silently watching Gilgamesh stepping up the stairs, as if Uruk's Lively and noisy, it has nothing to do with them.

Semiramis is now wearing the jet-black dress that Seven Nights gave her, she stared at Gilgamesh, and pursed her lips, "Seven Nights, I understand participating in the celebration, but why did the tyrant wipe his hair? butter?"

"It's not some butter." Qiye laughed dumbly, "This is a sacred ointment."

Semiramis wrinkled his nose and said with disgust, "It sounds so nice, it's not just the ointment made by mashing the horns."

In the Mesopotamian era, the bull was a symbol of holiness and might. Its strong and unusual beasts were comparable. Its existence can be said to overwhelm the eagles, lions and other beasts, so it gradually became the king's mount and the like. The presence.

Therefore, on some sacred occasions, you have to smear a layer of horn oil on your body, which symbolizes the divine blessing.

In later generations... anointing oil has gradually become the ritual of the 'anointed one'.

flutter flutter~

The sound of birds flapping their wings gradually became louder, and the white dove flew back to Qiye and Semiramis. After it stood firm, it flapped its wings and said, "Master ,I'm back."

"Just come back, how is the situation?" Qiye asked.

"The city you mentioned is very chaotic now, with flames everywhere, neatly dressed soldiers are busy suppressing slaves, and no soldiers are dispatched." The white dove replied in a sweet voice.

Because two days ago, the clay tablet written by Aga, the king of Kish, was brought to Kish by the soldiers of Uruk. Qiye was a little worried that Kish would continue to send soldiers, so he let Flying The white dove went to Kish to monitor the situation in Kish.

But it turns out that Qiye thought too much. It seems that the situation of Kish’s collapse has been passed on to Kish, causing the slaves who have been oppressed for a long time to start causing a commotion. Kish has no intention to attack Uruk now. The civil strife has already Make them devastated.

"Really, it's hard work for you, this is a reward for you." Qiye smiled at the white dove, and gave it a bag of wheat rice called 'ticket', and the white dove flew happily. Come here, grab a bag of grain.

Although food is available everywhere, as long as the white pigeons fly, it can be found, but the food obtained from Qiye makes it even more happy.

Because this is not just food, it can be regarded as a reward.

"Actually, I have no trouble at all, because in addition to my indestructible claws and beaks, I also have the ability to call in pigeons and birds to help me, and they are all monitoring that huge city for me." Bai Bai who grabbed the food Dove said happily.

This mature white dove has the ability to assemble and command flocks of birds, and its cooing communication with the birds enables them to work for it.

Therefore, the birds around Kish have become the eyes of white doves, so the birds that have not opened their intelligence will relay the disturbances they see to the white doves.

So... when monitoring the huge city of Kish, this clever little pigeon really didn't work hard at all.

"Because of the defeat of Kish's army, Kish's slaves were in turmoil, and Kish, who lost 90% of his soldiers, really didn't have the heart to put it on Uruk. He just didn't know how Kish would respond to the king of Kish. Where's Aga's clay tablet?" Qiye rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Chapter 68 Chapter 67 Enqi is very beautiful...

Qiye thought that even if Kish wanted to redeem Aga, the king of Kish, it would not be possible to give Kish to Uruk. It is estimated that after Kish suppressed the slaves, they would negotiate their negotiation conditions. refute.

Only after Uruk and Kish debated back and forth through clay tablets would they formally determine the conditions for redemption of Aga.

To hand over the city for a king who has fallen into slavery...that's almost impossible.
