Aztec Eternals Chapter 407

The three thousand imperial guards guarded the black wolf's king flag and stayed in Kanhe Village for more than half a month. The kingdom's messenger traveled in the stars and nights, along the mountain path, traveled nearly four hundred miles westward, and arrived in the Fire River City, communicating the king's will.

Ezpan also cooperated with Yeshan Village, sending more than 200 red-haired scouts to spy on the Fire River Plain. The Western Coleman Department was immediately tense. More than 5,000 tribal warriors who had already mobilized set off from the Fire River City to the eastern boundary of the Fire River Plain to further strengthen the defense of the cottage.

In Fire River City, many Tecos nobles quarreled fiercely for several days. In the end, it was Imar, the chief of Colima, who persuaded the ministries to make a decision and submit to the mighty northern kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Ezpan of the Kingdom of the Lake, salute you! Praise you, I am your faithful servant, and you are my supreme sun!"

In front of Kanhe Village, Ezpan, wearing a gorgeous army commander costume, fell down in front of Shilot excitedly, not caring about being stained with dust and mud. Even though he is a noble commander, he is still loyal as a servant of the king.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Your Majesty, the expedition in the Southwest Mountains, everything went well!"

"Blessed by the Lord! Ezpan, my army commander, you and Keka played well!"

Seeing this scene, Shirot nodded with satisfaction. He stretched out his hand and smiled and lifted him up from the mud.

"I heard that you came with the messenger of Fire River City?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty!"

Ezpan stood up, respectfully, and replied carefully.

"The Western Colima tribes, fearing your high prestige, ask for further submission to the kingdom! Not only did they agree to hand over 20,000 people a year's grain, as last year's tribute, they were also willing to pay the same share of grain every year. , as an annual tribute, in exchange for your blessing!"

"Oh? 20,000 people a year of food as an annual tribute?"

Hearing the words, Shulot looked surprised. He pondered for a moment and asked.

"Any other requests from the Coleman Department?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, the tribes of Colima requested the kingdom to send priests of the Lord God to preach in the City of Fire River! They are willing to give up the belief in the three gods and submit to the supreme Lord God!"

"Abandon the belief in the Three Gods and submit to the Supreme Lord God?"

Shulot's expression was moved and thoughtful.

The tribes of Tekes were originally polytheistic beliefs, believing that the mountains, rivers, plants and trees each have their own gods. And according to the differences in the ancestral land of these tribes, there are different preferences. The City of Fire River is located at the foot of the volcano and worships the **** of fire. Hand Snake City is located in the mountains and forests, and respects the snake god. Haenyeo Castle is located on the seashore and respects the **** of water.

In the past half century, after the rise of the Tarrasco Kingdom, it began to crusade the tribes of Nantec and spread the belief in the Three Gods. After the tribes surrendered one after another, they respected the three gods. And when the Kingdom of Tarasco fell and the Kingdom of the Lake rose, the belief in the Lord God followed.

Now, in the face of pressure from the Northern Kingdom, the Colima Division has once again made a choice. Whether or not the conversion was false, the conversion itself was a sign of great deference to the kingdom.

"very good!"

Shirot nodded slowly. What should the kingdom do with the submissive Colima tribes? He thought about this issue, and his attitude gradually changed subtly. After a while, he asked again.

"Any more?"

"Also! Your Majesty, Imar, the Great Chief of Colima, requested that his youngest daughter Elaine go to the kingdom and serve you with me! The messenger who came with me from Fire River City this time is the sixteen-year-old Great Chief. Female, noble daughter Elaine."

"Send your daughter to serve with you?"

Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, lost in thought. The meaning of serving with you is to establish a substantial marriage relationship, and not to pursue any status. This move by the chief of Colima is obviously to further express his surrender and strengthen the relationship with the northern kingdom. After a while, the king looked at the samurai chief.

"I remember that King Suangwa of Tarrasco also married the daughter of the chief of Colima and left him an heir?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. The Colima Chieftain has many children and has been married to various ministries. When the city of Qin Congcan was destroyed, Suangua's wives and concubines were all executed by the Chief Hummingbird. The daughter of the Colima Chieftain left one. Son, is one of the captured Tarrasco princes, Chatini. However, these princes should have all been sacrificed to the Lord God during the Alliance Victory Ceremony."

Shuluo nodded. He looked back at Ezpan.

"Ezpan, during your expedition to the southwestern mountainous area, have you collected information on Imar, the chief of Colima? How old is the other party, and what is his evaluation?"

"Imar, Chief of Colima..."

Ezpan thought about it for a moment, then answered meticulously.

"Your Majesty, the Great Chief Yimar is nearly fifty years old, burly and strong, and is a rare long-lived chief. According to the rumors of the Tekes, his mother was favored by the Vulcan and bestowed the blood of the gods, thus giving birth to the gods who possessed the power of gods. He is blood. As a descendant of the gods, he has always been blessed by the **** of fire, and he often bathes and prays in the volcanic hot springs, and has had dozens of children..."

Hearing this, Shirot's eyes moved slightly. Being able to be initially deified by the Tekes in the mountains proves that Ymar is a very powerful chief.

"Imar has been chieftain for more than 20 years. He has a high reputation among the ministries and has a deep control over the ministries of the Fire River Plain. Earlier, he led the Colima ministries against the invasion of the old Tarrasco. Relying on the terrain in the mountains several times, he defeated the Tarrasco Legion and became the leader of the Western Tecos Union. Finally, under his leadership, the Colima Department nominally surrendered to the old Tarrasco Dynasty, but in fact Maintained autonomy and independence. After the fall of the old dynasty, he sent envoys to the kingdom to show his submission to you."

"Well, for the first New Year's festival after the establishment of the kingdom, there are messengers from the Colima tribe."

Shilot does have an impression. Although before the Southern Expedition, the tributes from the various ministries of Colima were just a little bit of symbolic gifts, but the etiquette was very good... The Chief Yimar in Fire River City is probably not an easy one. Thinking of this, the king frowned.

"Ezpan, how is Fire River City's defense?"

"Your Majesty, according to the information of the scouts, the area of Fire River City is not large, and the city wall is more than six meters high, which is roughly equivalent to that of Apa Military City. However, the Fire River Plain is surrounded by mountains. If you want to attack Fire River City, you need to first capture the northeast. Or several passes in the southeast. The most suitable route is to send troops from Yeshan Village and attack the relatively wide southeast pass!"

"Ok."

Shilot recalled the map of the western mountains. Because of the mountains, there are only two ways to attack the Huohe Plain: one is to go to the southwest first, pass through Yeshan Village and then turn to the northwest. The other is to go northwest first, go deep into the western mountainous area, and then turn southwest. From Apa City, the distance between the two roads is about 500 miles, and most of them are mountain roads, which is an absolute nightmare for logistics.

"Ezpan, how many warriors do you need to defeat Imar and break through Fire River City?"

"Your Majesty, if there is sufficient food supply, a thousand strong bronze armor is allocated, and there are enough canine warriors to assist, I will be able to defeat the enemy for you!"

Hearing the king's question, Ezpan showed excitement, like a hound that smelled meat.

"Only need my spear corps, plus the Guaquili corps, to defeat Imar, burn the Fire River Plain, and break the Fire River City!"

In mountainous terrain, the Guaquili Corps is a must. These canine light soldiers are too easy to use, especially good at chasing and killing enemy troops.

"Ezpan, I'm not letting you plunder and leave."

Shirot shook his head.

"I want you to occupy the Fire River City, firmly control the Fire River Plain, and organize thousands of miners to dig the Colima mine."

"Ah? You want to bring the Fire River Plain into domination?"

Ezpan hesitated. To capture a territory, all you need is a strong force. And to occupy and rule such a remote mountain territory, you need to control the people. The difficulty level of the two is not at the same level. After thinking about it, Ezpan gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Your Majesty, I can do it! After capturing the Fire River Plain, we will first force tens of thousands of Turks to migrate out of the mountains, and then send the Canine Legion to sweep the surrounding 200-mile mountain villages! Then, every autumn, we will set fires in the mountains. , burn down the villages and farmland, drive away the birds and beasts and prey. Then block the aperture in the mountains, and do not allow sea salt to enter the mountains! …”

"After destroying the guerrilla Tecos tribes in the mountains, more than 10,000 submissive civilians were moved from the kingdom, mixed with the surrendered tribesmen, and then set up military camps on the Fire River Plain... This continued for several years, until the belief in the Lord God If you are stable, you can control the Fire River Plain!"

"Ok."

Sherlot stared deeply at Ezpan for a moment, without commenting on his strategy. He pondered for a long time and said lightly.

"Let the messenger of the Colima tribe come and see you!"

A guard hurried away. Within a quarter of an hour, a wild Texian girl, barefooted, wearing an obsidian necklace, and a bright short robe, came to the king. The young girl is twenty-eight years old, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, her nose is upturned, and her small mouth is slightly pursed. She is tall and straight, and moves as agile as a female leopard. She is full of youthful vigor, and exudes a wild breath. And behind her, followed by a maid holding an ornate wooden box.

"The mighty Reaper Warchief, warrior of the Colima tribe, Elaine, greets you!"

The girl Elaine knelt down on one knee and saluted the king. Her eyes were curious and unruly, and she boldly looked at the king, as if evaluating the strength of the other party.

Shirot raised his brows, looked at the wild and pretty girl, and spoke calmly.

"You are Imar's daughter?"

"Warchief, Imar is my father, but I am the warrior Elaine!"

Elaine raised her head and answered calmly.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the girl's stubborn words, Shulot smiled and asked with interest.

"Imar asked you to come, why?"

"Father asked me to come here, as the messenger of the tribe, to send gifts!"

Elaine took the ornate wooden box from the maid and handed it to the king's personal guard. The personal guard checked for a moment, and then handed the wooden box to the king.

In the wooden box, there are a pair of fist-sized jade, an obsidian necklace, a gold wine glass, and two extremely sharp daggers. Five hundred miles from east to west and three hundred miles from north to south, the Colima Mountains are areas with frequent volcanic activity, producing jade, obsidian, gold and silver. The necklace and wine glass themselves prove the manufacturing level and forging ability of the various departments of Colima.

Shulot's attention quickly focused on the dagger. These two daggers are silver-grey in color, and their tentacles are cold and hard. They are actually rare iron tools!

"This is?"

"Chief, this is the magic weapon inherited from the tribe, and it is a gift from the **** of fire! In order to show sincerity, my father specially donated these two magic weapons to you!"

"The divine weapon of inheritance..."

Shirot's expression became serious.

"Elaine, are there many such magical soldiers in Colima? How did you make them?"

"Great Chief, there are very few divine soldiers. They are the ancient inheritance of various tribes, and the legend is related to the gift of the **** of fire. As for the manufacturing method, the tribe has been lost for a long time."

Elaine shook her head and answered sincerely.

"The Colima tribe only has these two magical soldiers, and I will dedicate them all to you today! They are gifts from the **** of fire, so they must not be in contact with water for a long time, otherwise they will lose their power."

Sherlot was silent for a moment, guessing. A long time ago, the Colima Mountains may have scattered open-pit iron ore, which was discovered by the ancestors of the Tecos and forged as an inherited magic weapon. And when the open-air ore was used up, the magic weapon was lost... After a while, the king slowly nodded.

"Imar has a heart. I will remember his deference."

"Powerful Great Chief, in addition to these, my father will also present the most precious gift to you!"

"Oh? What is it?"

"it's me!"

The girl Elaine spoke proudly ~www.mtlnovel.com~ without any shyness. She took off her short robe directly, revealing a strong and compact body, a waist with a waistcoat line, and round and strong thighs.

"Headchief, my father made me serve you! I can sing for you, dance for you, bathe you, and have fun with you! But I can even wear armor and hold a spear for you, hold a bow to shoot hunting, keep you safe, and kill you. enemy!"

After speaking, the girl looked calm and looked at the king warmly.

Shulot was speechless for a moment. The figure of Medina flashed in the king's mind, making him sigh in his heart. For a short time, he was not going to keep the girl Elaine by his side. However, as the daughter of Chief Colima, an important hostage in a sense, the other party cannot be repatriated or arranged at will... The king was silent for a while and made a decision.

"Eileen, I won't keep you by my side. You will go to Shenwei University in the capital to go to school, and together with the priests of the Lord God, learn the enlightenment of God!"

"Uh, divine inspiration? Going to school? What's that?"

The wild girl looked confused. Somewhere, she had a hunch: this is more difficult than shooting and fighting.

"That's the writing, calendar, herbal medicine, theology, nature, and the future promised by the Lord God!"

Shirot smiled faintly and waved to the confused girl.

"Go down, Elaine! Go and study hard!"

Later, the king asked Ezpan to prepare a return gift for Fire River City. The return gift includes a solid gold Hummingbird Sun Talisman, a graphic version of the Ari, a brand new bronze sword, and a pair of sturdy bronze armor. These are symbols of the kingdom's religion, culture and force, and Chief Yimar will understand what it means to be king.

After arranging all this, the king flag of the black wolf will start its journey again. Before that, however, Ezpan has a final report.
