[In a country with a population of 1.3 billion, at least 300 million of them are truly agricultural workers. In a country with a population of 1.1 billion, almost 70% of them are purely agricultural workers.]

[This is the upper limit of agricultural breeding when industrial conditions are insufficient. ]

[But you are different. You can still easily support this city-state. Of course, it is still far from the truly mechanized production output of later generations.]

[But it is precisely this that destroys the better future of mankind and uses the immediate short-term rewards to make them give up their long-term future. This is simply the worst conspiracy. ]

[You are a thorn in Gilgamesh's side, and a treasure of mixed love and hate in the eyes of the gods. ]

[However, it is this short-sighted choice that allows you to feed more people and train more full-time soldiers. ]

【All they need to face is constant war. 】

[The entire city-state began to function like a violent machine.]

[You have easily wiped out the small town gangs around you.]

[They took everything away, and even successfully incorporated the population of their city-state into Salvia.]

[The more wars you wage, the better soldiers you will get.]

[The better the soldiers, the smoother the war. ]

[The more population you get, the smoother the entire logistics line will be. 】

[And you never need to worry about naturalization, because there are miracles in your city-state system, and you can get a lot of things just by believing, which is absolutely impossible in cities outside of Salvia. ]

[So as long as they believe in you, they can obtain miracles from other gods including you. For people who already rely on the rule of gods, they will not have the thought of resistance, but will only desire to integrate into the society.]

[Even some small town gangs and tribes know your reputation and will even line up to welcome you when they see you.]

【Welcome your army here. 】

[And they gave you a new title, the Lord of Enlightenment.]

[I believe you can civilize all the small towns and tribes into the Kingdom of God and receive the miracles yourself.]

[Rather, you are already a god, and with all the beliefs, looking at the history of the world, no matter which monarch is, no one can be more intimidating than you in these aspects.]

[Your army was invincible, but soon encountered a powerful enemy that was difficult to defeat. ]

[That is Eridu, the southernmost city-state of Sumer. ]

【It is also a city founded by Enki.】

The old priest hurriedly passed the message to Susa: "Your Highness Susa, Eridu has been under siege for a long time and we..."

"It doesn't matter, just leave it to me."

Susa put on a confident smile, took out a roll of parchment and threw it to the old priest.

"Do as it says."

Chapter 32 Kill Them

Uruk in the distance.

Gilgamesh lay on the throne, reviewing the tablets.

And from time to time he looked in the direction of Sousa.

I'm curious about what Sousa plans to do next.

The competition between the two has reached a fever pitch, and many small city-states near their own city-state have been incorporated into the territory.

The next problem is to face some large city-states.

Like Susa, Gilgamesh also needed to find a way to defeat the powerful city-state.

Although Uruk is also a very old city, due to Gilgamesh's previous disastrous behavior, its foundation is actually a little worse, especially in terms of military resources.

Therefore, in addition to the competition, Gilgamesh still wanted to see who handled the situation better between him and Susa.

What's more, Susa is the spokesperson of the Lord God. It should be very embarrassing for him to face the city protected by powerful gods.

Gilgamesh felt a surge of joy at the thought.

The feeling was like a little boy who was rejected, but still pressed the other person under him, just wanting to see the other person's shy look.

Hmm, bad metaphor.

……

The other end.

"What do you think Susa should do now?"

On top of the sacred mountain, the gods began to discuss some irrelevant topics as usual.

"He is now facing Enki's city-state, Eridu. It is a city built by Enki himself and has existed since before the Flood. In terms of foundation, how could Susa defeat Eridu in just one year?"

Some gods shook their heads.

Some gods asked curiously, "What if he really does it? If he can't do it, it means that there is little hope for him to maintain the Age of Gods, because the army of gods cannot defeat the city-state of another main god, which itself shows that their ability is not high.

So if we expect him to maintain our rule, we will be disappointed.”

The gods all thought about it for a moment.

Suddenly a god spoke up and said, "But wouldn't it be even more terrifying if he really defeated Gilgamesh? With the contract and Ishtar's existence, it would be difficult for us to harm Him, even if we have the ability to attack after he and Gilgamesh decide the outcome.

But we may not be able to destroy him by then.

When he has a contract to bind us, everything will be different.

Isn’t that terrifying?”

For a moment, such words made everyone silent.

Yes, if Gilgamesh wins, the Age of Gods will be in danger.

But if Susa wins, according to the contract, they will be in danger.

For a time, the gods were put in a dilemma.

Especially since it is not easy for them to go directly to the end by skipping their roots due to their identities.

Gilgamesh and Susa were able to compete because they both had the blood of the Son of God.

But they are all pure gods.

They are two completely different creatures.

"What should I do?"

The gods were gloomy.

"But Susa probably still won't be able to defeat Eridu. Don't worry. Even Gilgamesh would have to work hard to defeat a powerful city-state."

Some people have already started to comfort themselves.

Finally, all the gods turned their eyes to Enki.

Enki nodded steadily and said, “You don’t have to worry. Although Susa’s development is unexpected, it is still a long way to defeat my Eridu with its current strength.

Eridu survived the Flood and was sure to face any storm.

Unless Sousa really can’t help himself and leaves the court.”

Even the most powerful city-state is no match for the gods.

But as a great god, he actually took action to fight against mortal city-states.

Even the issue of face is troublesome.

So the gods had reason to believe that Susa would not do such a thing.

"If something really happens, believe me, I will stop Susa."

Enki vowed: "I am the god of wisdom. No matter what tricks he has, I will not be able to stop him."

The gods could only trust Susa.

……

Above the wilderness.

The old priest shouted to the distant city-state: "You have been surrounded and have no chance. It is still not too late to surrender now."

"I will not surrender."

The man on the city wall said stubbornly.

As the oldest city-state, the people of Eridu still have strong self-confidence.

If someone wants them to surrender now, basically don't even think about it, it is almost impossible.

As the city-state most favored by the god Enki, it is also the first city-state to be established.

Every soldier will risk his life for glory.

In comparison, the main god Enki would also feel gratified to see the sacrifices of these people.

Therefore, the people of Eridu were less afraid of sacrifice - even in the Sumerian civilization that avoided death.

"We are Enki's children, so it is ridiculous for you to ask us to surrender."

The people on the tower shouted: "The great Lord Enki will keep his child."

"No, you are wrong."

The old priest said: “This is your best chance.

The teacher tells you that your main god Enki has joined the camp of our main god Susa, so we are unwilling to deal with this matter with war.

Therefore, we hope that you will turn back from your mistakes and never make mistakes. "

"Pfft!"

The soldiers on the city wall laughed.

Enki on Lingshan Mountain also laughed.

He joined Susa's camp.

How come I don’t know about this kind of thing?

There was something indescribably funny about listening to the old priest's words.

If all the people under Sousa are like this, it seems like they are hopeless.

A moment can give you peace of mind.

This is his own city-state, Eridu.

If he really defected from the Susa camp, he should have gone to help Susa accept Eridu.

Instead of doing other things.

Therefore, Enki believed that his followers still understood this.

Besides, how could he possibly betray his city-state which was as precious to him as his face?

Looking at the old priest, Enki felt that he just looked like a clown.

I don’t know what the other party’s plan is.

Want to paralyze others?

The old priest asked the soldiers to lift up a simple altar.

Start worshipping immediately.

“Great Enki.

A disseminator of wisdom.

The guardian of civilization,

I wait for eternal faith.

You sing the praises of faith.

You chant the eternal poem.
