"Sun City, Salt Lake City, Alpine City... three royal legions, 24,000 warriors... sit in the three southern states, nominally intimidating the disloyal Mixtec tribes..."
The map of the long river of Talsas was spread out on the desk. Shulot pursed his lips and stared at the three royal regiments, which were the key positions that could go south at any time and cut off the long river. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at E
Carter asked seriously.
"Eckart, where are the royal regiments of the alliance currently stationed? I want the latest news!"
"Master, there are more than 50,000 direct warriors in the alliance. Among them, there are six standing warrior legions of 8,000 people, one of which is a bronze armor battle group, one is a longbow battle group, and a noble war group of more than 2,000 people.
The regiment is composed of glorious jaguar and eagle warriors. A 4,000-strong Guards, drawn from the elites of various city-states and surrendered troops, was newly established only two years ago. The last group is composed of 4,000 soldiers.
The temple legion is mainly composed of the most elite elder guards and temple guards, and is jointly commanded by the priests of the God of War..."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, looked solemn. He took out nine jade talismans and regarded them as nine royal legions, placing them in sequence on the alliance map.
"After the New Year Festival, three royal legions went south, including the Bronze Armor and Longbow regiments, and stationed in the three southern states. One royal legion went west, sitting in Sourwood City in the west, and also controlled the upper reaches of the Leman River. One royal legion
The legion went north to suppress Xiajin City, supervise the division and migration of the Xiajin family, and 'convince' the last stubborn nobles. There is also a royal legion, sitting in Oak City in the land of Tlaxcala in the east, to maintain the alliance and go to the Four Snakes
The main thoroughfares of the city also ensure vital food transportation and supplies... In short, there are one city-state each in the east, north, and west, and three in the south, which is where the six standing legions are stationed!"
"As for the noble battle groups, the Broken Hair Guards, and the Temple Legion, the most elite senior warriors of the more than 10,000 alliances, they are always guarding the capital city in the lake. Unless they encounter special circumstances or the king personally marches, they will generally not
Leave the capital."
"Six branches are always ready to go out to foreign countries, and three elite branches guard the capital. Such an arrangement..."
The map of the alliance is filled with jade talismans, which are the most powerful symbols of force in Central America. After two years of repair and reform, this huge force is once again ready to go to war. And
With Avit's ambition, he will never delay his conquest of the world!
"Ekart, have the city-state legions of the four northern states of the alliance been mobilized?"
"Head of the family! I haven't received such news yet... Since the centralization reform of the God King, the armies of the four nations have been disbanded. The leader of the Xiajin clan has just died, and the transfer of titles and changes to the nobles of various states is still being vigorously promoted.
Not completely finished…”
"Witness the Lord God! So that's it... Your first goal right now is to reform the centralization of power, especially the transfer of titles to the nobles of the three southern states..."
Looking at the map of the world and the arrangements of the various royal legions, Shulot pondered for a moment and soon understood Avitt's plan. He was a student trained by Avitt himself. He was very interested in his teacher's ambitions and plans.
See very clearly.
"Among the powerful nobles of the four northern states, Jinshan City, Suanmu City, and Xiajin City have all changed their city owners and divided the Glory family. However, Xinter, the leader of the Reed Clan in Wejian City, has always been the most respectful.
, actively cooperate with the central government’s changes...the centralization of power in the four northern states has been basically completed! And it is time for the three southern states to finally take drastic action..."
"The legion commanders of the three southern kingdoms are all in the Eastern Expeditionary Army and under my command. At this moment, without the backbone of the nobles and warriors, the three kingdoms are simply unable to resist the power of the royal center. After taking control of the three kingdoms, the three city-state legions
Naturally, we can only surrender and accept the changes obediently..."
Thinking of this, Shulot lowered his eyes and was filled with emotion. The three legions marching south to the three kingdoms were actually extremely clever and calculated through people's hearts!
For the nobles of the three kingdoms, the kingdom sacrificed the leader of the Xiajin clan, and they are one and the same with the alliance. The kingdom's Eastern Expedition Legion is currently restraining the three city-state legions, preventing them from showing any resistance. As for Hu
As far as the Middle Kingdom is concerned, these three city-state legions are the secret hands of the alliance. Because once faced with the choice between the kingdom and the alliance, they will inevitably have no choice but to turn to the alliance that is stronger, more famous, and controls the three kingdoms.
"If I show any signs... these three main legions can immediately compromise with the city-state nobles, recruit city-state legions, go south to cut off the long river, and even attack east and west along the river! ... And if I obediently return to the capital in the lake, these three
By forming a royal legion, after centralizing power and completing reforms, they can become the vanguard of the southern expedition against the Mixtecs!…”
"In short, the six royal legions are suppressing various states. Avitt's current first priority is still centralization reform! And his second goal is, as I once said, to conquer the South.
Loyal Mixtec!... However, he is also prepared to compromise with the local nobles at any time. If I don't go to the royal capital, then the biggest target of the centralization reform will be the target of the crusade between the royal center and the local nobles.
, it became me!…At this time when my power is most dispersed and my position is most dangerous…”
Shulot thought for a long time, with a wry smile and a touch of sadness appearing on his face. He sighed long and whispered to himself.
"Avit, my father-in-law, my teacher...the reform of centralizing power and leveling all states was my initial suggestion to you, and it was also the plan of my grandfather and you! You asked me if I support it? Of course I support it...After all, centralization
The power of the alliance is also my political pursuit!"
"But with this current arrangement, the three southern states and the four armies of Oak City...can't you believe my promise to you? Are you so afraid of me that you are afraid that I will withdraw to the kingdom along the long river?...But how could I be so?
What to do? At this critical moment when the great cause has not yet been accomplished and changes are coming!…”
"Sure enough, power will change everything...In the confrontation of power, there are only thorough checks and balances, and only prepared plans...Whether you believe me or not, you will block all my other options, leaving me with only this arrangement.
The road…”
"And your plan has probably been considered since you asked me to take over the Eastern Expedition and besiege the two Snake Cities... but then separate the military power of Oak City in Wesochinco State!
…”
Thinking of the last farewell to Avitt two years ago, Shulot closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before suddenly opening his eyes. At this moment, there was no hesitation, no sadness, and no unwillingness in his deep eyes.
, only decisive courage!
"My teacher, thank you for teaching me the last lesson, about the struggle for power... Then, let us meet in the capital! I will still be your best student, and you will always need me.
, the Lord God witnesses!…”
