Chapter 948: The Moon Gone to the West, The Kings Philosophy
"...The Lord God witnesses! Tikallo, so you said so much, what you mean is that accepting the surrender of the Hidden Snake City Navy Captain has three benefits! One is to cut off the support of the sea route, damage the people's hearts and morale in the city, and let
Hidden Snake City will fall as soon as possible. The other is to have an internal plan to wipe out as many priests and divine descendants in Hidden Snake City as possible..."
The night was dark, long shadows were swaying in the hall, and moonlight was falling on the ceiling. Black Wolf Toltec frowned, thinking about Tikalo's cautious suggestions. He actually disagreed with these two military benefits. With his help,
With the ability of his black wolf Toltec, in the current situation, if he wants to destroy the city and exterminate the clan, what difficulty is there?!
"Well...the most important thing is the third benefit. Obtaining several ready-made Mayan ships, taking back two kingdom longships, and a group of ready-made Mayan shipwrights...for the conquest of the Maya in the east and the development of Cuba,
Marines who provide transportation!”
Thinking of this, Hei Lang touched his chin and pondered for a long time. He also had a letter from His Highness, instructing him to collect shipwrights and carpenters from the city-states along the way and send them to Jinwan City to serve the Kingdom's Eastern Shipbuilding Company.
He knows that shipbuilding is different from building siege equipment. It is a real technical job. There is no "miraculous power", nor will it be thrown away after a battle. The construction of a large ship takes a long time, from wood to frame to
Ship hulls have very tedious processes and require professional talents.
It only takes a few months, or even a few days, to recruit a tribal battalion and prepare it for the battlefield. However, it takes years to form a coastal navy and build usable ships!
"Two years, almost two years! The Kingdom's Eastern Shipbuilding Company has not yet built a single longship... Well, His Highness said that the first batch of longships has almost been built, but there are only ten of them... Lord God! This
Fighting at sea is really troublesome!…”
Thinking of this, Black Wolf's eyes widened again, he reached out and grabbed Ti Carlo's shirt, and scolded him sternly.
"Ti Carlo! Tell me the truth! Was the Mayan shipwright from Hidden Serpent City captured with you?! You old fox, why are you so careless in your work? You should be damned for leaking the whereabouts of the fleet for no apparent reason.
!Deserves to be killed!…”
"Cough! Cough! Dear Commander of the Black Wolf Army... Among the shipwrights in Hidden Snake City, there are indeed a few key leaders who are the masters of Mayapan whom I plan to dedicate to His Highness... But the other shipwrights should be from other places.
Captured from the fleet of the Mayan city-state..."
Mayan businessman Ti Carlo tilted his body and tried to break free, but was completely unable to shake the black wolf's hand. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he had to answer with difficulty.
"Captain Black Wolf, you know!...Building ships takes time. Among Hidden Snake City's fleet, there are only three Mayan galleys, which were imitated by the shipwrights of Priest Papu. The rest were forcibly recruited...
"
"Witness the Lord God! In the water village east of Hidden Snake City, they have a team of more than 100 craftsmen who are building five galleys, and they also have a large number of dark-dried wood materials! ... These are all from Hidden Snake City.
The chief priest tried his best to raise it from various city-states and nobles... Right now, as long as Priest Papu surrenders with the navy, it will all be yours, and it will all belong to His Highness!..."
"More than a hundred craftsmen, five galleys under construction, and a batch of large timber and good materials?"
Hearing this, Black Wolf Toltec pursed his lips, his eyes flashed for a while, and then he let go of his hand.
"Ti Carlo, the Lord God witnesses! Did you see these with your own eyes, or did you listen to what that Pap said?"
"Uh... Priest Pappu said it! But after all, he didn't have the guts to lie to His Highness and you..."
"Yeah...I know!"
The black wolf Toltec stood up with an expressionless face, like a cold alpha wolf. He looked around, staring at the blood-stained walls of the palace, and saw the withered body of Quetzalcoatl, his eyes gradually became fierce. Then,
He didn't care about Ti Carlo standing next to him, strode straight to the wood wither, and gave instructions to the guards on his left and right.
"Come here! Get the bronze sword of our legion commander!"
"Yes! Boss!"
After a while, the black wolf Toltec held a big sword more than one meter long. He was silent for a few breaths, took a deep breath, and then suddenly let out a loud roar!
"Pap! Die!..."
The heavy sword was swung rapidly, with a violent blast of wind, and it struck heavily on the withered wood!
"Bang! Katcha!..."
The power of this blow is so great, and the angle is so exquisite! This is an amazing combination of power and skill, and it can even cut a piece of hard wood as large as a human body in half with one sword strike! And such a terrifying sword strike
, if it fell on a warrior wearing leather armor, it would definitely be cut in half!
"ah!"
Quetzalcoatl's head rolled down and landed not far in front of Ti Carlo. Faced with this unparalleled force and this pure killing technique, Ti Carlo's smooth head couldn't help but endure.
I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"This...respected...commander of the Black Wolf Army..."
"Huh?! Do you have anything else to say?"
The undisguised, beast-like killing intent in the eyes of the black wolf Toltec made Tikalo feel cold in his heart. He originally wanted to mention the surrender conditions of Priest Papu, but seeing the situation at hand
The situation cannot be spoken out no matter what.
"Hey! I'd better go to His Highness and persuade him personally..."
When the words came to his lips, Mayan businessman Tikalo tried his best to smile and bowed his head respectfully.
"Witness the Lord God! Respected Captain Black Wolf... I have finished my explanation, and everything will be decided by you!..."
"Um."
Black Wolf Toltec lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time with a cold expression before speaking coldly.
"Uta!"
"Boss!"
"After conquering Jihu City, how many days has it been since the envoy who reported the victory to His Highness?"
"Boss, the first batch of messengers reporting the victory have probably arrived at Jinwan City. As for the second batch of messengers reporting specific battle reports, they only left yesterday morning..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Can you catch up? Take this guy with you and get to Golden Bay City as soon as possible!..."
"Uh! Take him with you?"
The red-haired bodyguard Uta turned around and looked at Tikalo, who was skinny and trembling after standing for a long time. His eyes widened at first, and then he shook his head vigorously like a rattle.
"Boss! How can such a skinny old fox catch up with a coyote running in the forest?! No, definitely not...unless..."
"Huh? Say it!"
"Unless I take two brothers, tie him to a stick, and carry him around like picking goods!..."
"Ah! Ah this..."
Hearing this, Mayan businessman Tikalo sweated on his forehead, and his limbs began to tremble again. If he was picked up by a few red-haired barbarians all the way to Golden Bay City... His body that came out of the dungeon would probably have to be handed over on the road.
.And for such a dishonorable death, for a descendant of the Serpent God who has experienced countless trials and hardships, he really has no face to meet his ancestors...
"No! Your hands and feet are too rough! He has to go to Jinwan City with all his hands and feet to meet His Highness properly!..."
The black wolf Toltec shook his head, looked at Tikalo who was shaking like a sieve of chaff, and gave instructions.
"Find a few Totonac militiamen who are good at walking! Prepare for him one of those, oh, a Mayan little shoulder cart, the kind that can walk in the jungle!..."
"Witness the Lord God! Uta, you lead a team of scouts and guards, and you must personally deliver him to Jinwan City and hand him over to His Highness's personal guards!"
"Yes! Boss! I'll go get ready right now and leave as soon as daybreak!"
"Um!"
The black wolf Toltec nodded, and gave one last order before his bodyguard Uta left.
"Remember! Tie him to the saddle! Don't allow him to come into contact with other people along the way!..."
"Also! Stop his mouth! Don't let this old fox talk!"
"Okay! Boss!"
The moonlight was cool, and the guard Uta's feet were so fast that he disappeared in a few steps. Behind him, the Mayan businessman Tikalo also walked out of the deep hall under the escort of several guards. Look at his body.
He was trembling with sweat, as if he had left the nest of a ferocious beast and wandered around on the edge of life and death. And the actual situation was probably the same...
"Blessed by the Serpent God! After all the hardships along the way...I am finally able to go see His Highness!..."
"I don't know what's going on with His Highness at the moment?..."
The murmurs, carrying Tikallo's questions, drifted hundreds of miles to the west. In the west was the clear moonlight, and the city of Jinwan City with the lights dancing under the moonlight.
In the palace in the center of Jinwan City, a magnificent and beautiful dream, just like the drifting and dissipating clouds and rain, just woke up. Those traces of exploring the wonders, entangled with the king's body, were also engraved in his heart, making him
There was a moment of emptiness and enlightenment.
"Girl Yin Lian... woman... a woman who only belongs to me, a claim in the Colima Mountains..."
Shulot raised his head and looked at the moon setting in the west, feeling a complex emotion called responsibility, desire for exclusivity, and finally mixed with desire for power. Then, he struggled to get up, and gently
He put aside the entangled hands and feet of the girl, stood silently by the bed, and looked at the exhausted and asleep woman for a while.
"Well... I have another woman... a cat from the Colima Mountains..."
Shulot stretched out his hand, touched the sleeping "cat", rubbed the cat's short hair, and pinched the baby's fat cheeks. Then he pursed his lips and glanced at the red color on the bed.
After a moment of silence, he gently wiped away the girl's tears and covered him with a cotton blanket.
Listening to the cat's murmur in his sleep, Shulot was silent for a while, touched the sore marks on his body, and shook his head gently. The cat was obviously not very smart, and he remembered everything that had just happened...he laughed.
He smiled, put on his robe, walked to the window, and watched the soft moonlight fall.
After a moment, a wisp of the priest's sacred smoke rose from his hand, making people relax all over. The sacred smoke communicated with the ancient sages, spanning a long time and space, and made the king's deep eyes look further.
In the west direction. In the cascading mountains that he couldn't see, there were 200,000 Colima mountain tribes, and more, the tribes of the Southwest Tekos who were only nominally surrendered...
