When Ayla followed Tesosomoc and others to the bottom of the valley, the Aztlan people below had already performed a simple process on the fallen cattle. The so-called simple process did not mean dissecting into pieces of meat, which would be inconvenient to carry.
.They just cut open the cow's belly and took out the internal organs. This is a very critical step. The cow's belly is often filled with forage. If the dead cow is not dissected in time, the meat will not be able to be eaten when the forage ferments.
Want it.
After removing the internal organs, the Aztlan people worked in groups of four and tied the cattle to sticks and lifted them up. They had been on this island for a week and had their own camp, but they did not dare to transport these cattle to their camp.
Instead, he followed Ella to her camp.
Estrad and Ulf have already set up a simple camp, and the teams of Dast and Hjalmar have also brought back plenty of fresh water, as well as edible fruits, vegetables, fungi, and many small animals.
But these harvests are far less rich than the dozens of bison hunted by the Aztlan people. In the next few days, Ella's soldiers can eat several good meals of meat.
Of course, the soldiers were also surprised to see the Aztlan people, who had been left behind as soon as they went to sea, appear here.
"How did you catch up?"
Ella heard a pirate whispering to an Aztlan man next to him.
"Use an oar," the Aztlan man replied, making the gesture of paddling an oar. "Paddle as hard as you can!"
"Good guy, you have the ability!" The pirate patted the Aztlan man on the shoulder affectionately, "You are worthy of following our King of Sweden!"
Ella smiled awkwardly on the side. She knew there must be something fishy here, but she had no clue how the Aztlan people caught up.
The Aztlans also noticed the group of Lubeck sailors. Their hands were tied with ropes and they were being monitored by the pirates. They looked at first glance to be incompatible with Ella's soldiers.
Tesosomok asked his men to carry him to Ella's side, and asked: "Messenger of God. What is the origin of those people in strange clothes?"
In fact, the costumes of the Pirate Kingdom should be strange to the Aztlan people, but they have already assumed that this is an ordinary service.
"They are the sailors from Lübeck." Ella replied, "They are the same group I chased before. They took away my goods."
"So, they are prisoners of war?" Tesosomok's eyes flashed excitedly, "Messenger of God, can you hand them over to us so that we can sacrifice them to the gods and restore some magic power?"
"Huh? Sacrifice to the gods? Does that mean you want to eat their flesh?" Amy couldn't help scolding at the side, "Are you kidding? Why don't you change your ways?"
Seeing that Amy was angry, Tesosomok patted his head in realization: "My fault! These are the prisoners of Quetzalcoatl. How can we sacrifice them to the Sun God of War? We are willing to sacrifice their hearts.
Give it to Quetzalcoatl in exchange for God’s protection!”
Ella frowned and shook her head.
"I don't like human sacrifice, and neither does Quetzalcoatl. Don't mention it in front of me."
Seeing that Ella was unhappy, Tesosomok lowered his head angrily and muttered: "There is indeed a saying that Quetzalcoatl hates human sacrifice. I didn't expect it to be true. It's really a strange thing."
"In our opinion, your Sun War God who likes human sacrifice is just a freak!" Amy said from the side, "And I don't understand. Bjorn told us about smoke mirrors and feathered serpents before.
The grudge between the two gods, from the first era to the fifth era, does not even appear in the name of the sun war god! But Bjorn also said, in your Tenochtitlan, the sun war god and the feather god
The snake gods are the two main gods worshiped. Where did the sun war god come from? What is its relationship with Quetzalcoatl?"
"This...Sun War God...how to say it...in short..."
Tesosomoc hesitated for a long time, but could not say a single coherent sentence. In the end, he had to lower his head and apologize: "I don't know, maybe I have to go back to Aztlan and ask our priest about this kind of thing."
"Priest? No, what are you doing?" Amy said, "Where did the Sun War God come from, and what is its relationship with Quetzalcoatl? This should be considered basic knowledge, right?"
Just when Tesosomok was being chased and beaten by Amy, Ulf came over and handed a stack of design drawings to Ella.
"Estrade and I inspected the nearby terrain and selected several locations suitable for establishing long-term fortifications. It's not dark yet, does the King of Sweden want to come with me to take a look?"
"Have the drawings been completed so quickly?"
"It's just some sketches for illustrative purposes. We will continue to improve them in the future."
Ella flipped through the stack of drawings hastily and nodded: "As far as one day is concerned, you have done a good job. But you have to hurry up next. When the design drawings are completed, I will leave some troops for construction, and then we will start
Set sail for the sea."
"If the King of Sweden is in a hurry to go to sea, I can stay on this island and slowly design..."
"No, you are a staff officer and cannot stay here - anyway, let's go check out the location you chose first."
Just when Ella was about to follow Ulf, Dust ran over in a hurry.
"King of Sweden! Come here, I have made an unpleasant discovery..."
"The King of Sweden wants to go with me to choose the address of the stronghold now." Ulf said from the side, "If you want anything, we can talk about it when we come back."
"This is not possible. This matter must be confirmed clearly before choosing a site!" Dast shouted, "There are probably aborigines on this island!"
"What did you say???"
Ella was shocked. She took this route because she was sure that it was an uninhabited island. If there were indigenous people on the island, she would not be able to claim ownership of the island, and the island would become a public port.
Ships from all over the world can use this island as a transit point to go to Aztlan!
Tesosomok heard Dast's words and turned around and said: "This is impossible! We rested on this island for several months when we came here. It has been seven days since we came back, and we haven't seen anyone else except us at all.
Half a figure outside!"
"It is a big problem to allow three hundred of you to recuperate for several months! Don't you think that for an uninhabited island, the products on this island are too rich?"
"This alone doesn't mean much." Ulf said, "This island is quite big."
"I thought so at first, but just now, I found this on a bison!"
Dust stretched out his left hand, and there was a tiny bit of green sticky substance stuck to the nail of his index finger.
"This is the crushed herb left in an old wound on the buffalo's hoof."
Dast looked at Ella solemnly.
"It can't be that the buffaloes mashed it up themselves and applied it to their companions' legs, right?"
