I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 601 Conquering Two-thirds of the Mayans

The female leader and priest of the Juárez tribe can gather the Mayan tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula to form a large-scale coalition army to attack the Athenians-of course, this is a good thing that Roy can't wait for.

After all, Athens soldiers are not only well-trained professional soldiers, but also equipped with advanced iron weapons and iron armor.

The Mayans in the Neolithic Age could only recruit farmers and herdsmen as soldiers and let them fight with stone and wooden spears.

The strength gap between the two sides is like a huge gap, and the Athenian soldiers are completely reducing the dimensionality of the Mayan soldiers.

Even if the Mayan soldiers have ten times or even twenty times the number advantage——

It is absolutely impossible to counter the dimensionality reduction blow of the Athenian soldiers.

It's a pity that reality will disappoint Roy after all.

Roy waited for a month, but failed to wait for the [-] Mayan army.

With the efforts of the female leader and priest of the Juárez tribe, in the end only the Uxmal tribe in the northern Yucatan Peninsula called the Mayan tribe in the northern region and organized a Mayan army of 3 people to attack the Athenians.

This also means that Roy's wish to use a war to defeat all the Mayan tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula is completely shattered.

To conquer the Mayan tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula, Roy had to waste a lot of time defeating them one by one.

1596 BC.

July.

The Mayan coalition led by the Uxmal tribe came to Puerto Juárez.

Along with them, there is also the patron saint of the Uxmal tribe, the water god Chalchutrikui.

The current god of water, Chalchutriqui, is still a trinity goddess with the feathered snake god, Iekotel.

She can be directly regarded as the feathered serpent god Eaqtel, or she can be regarded as the sister of the feathered serpent god Eaqtel.

During this period of time, the Athenians had built a city wall to protect the port in Puerto Juárez, but Roy did not choose to use the city wall to defend the city.

Before the Mayan coalition launched an attack, Roy took the initiative to attack the Mayan coalition outside the city with [-] Athenian soldiers.

The outcome of this war is naturally beyond doubt.

Even if the Mayan coalition forces had a ten-fold numerical advantage, they would never be able to defeat the dimension reduction attack of the Athenian soldiers.

On the grasslands west of Puerto Juarez.

While the Athenian army was fighting the Mayan coalition forces, Metis, the patron saint of the Athenians, and Chalchutriqui, the patron saint of the Mayans, also confronted each other.

"Feathered Serpent God Iekotel, we meet again!"

Looking at the water god Chalchutriqui who dared to fight with him, Metis sneered and teased.

"I didn't expect you to dare to appear in front of me. It seems that I didn't teach you enough lessons last time."

"Although I'm also a Feathered Serpent God, I'm not Ekotel."

Chalciutrich explained with a solemn expression.

"I am the clone of the Feathered Serpent God, Charchutriqui, the water god, and I am not the same goddess as the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel you met before."

"Then I'll tell you once, if you don't want to suffer, just surrender to me obediently."

After speaking, Metis brandished a black gun to attack.

Just like the Mayan coalition forces collapsed in front of the Athenian soldiers, the battle between Metis and Chalciutrigi was also Metis who suppressed Chalciutrigi from the beginning.

After the Mayan coalition forces completely collapsed and fled in all directions, Chalchutrikui also fled from Metis in embarrassment—just like the Feathered Serpent God Ekotel who was defeated by Metis before.

After defeating the Mayan coalition forces, Roy began to conquer various Mayan tribes in the northern Yucatan Peninsula.

Before being defeated by the Athenian army, the chief nobles of the Maya had the confidence to fight against the Athenians by force.

After being defeated by the Athenian army, the nobles who led the Mayans lost the means to fight against the Athenians by force, and could only be forced to submit to the Athenian Empire.

By choosing to submit, they can still keep themselves and their families alive.

If they choose to fight against the Athenian Empire to the end, they will lose everything including their lives.

The northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula became the territory of the Athenian Empire. The Mayan tribes and villages in the northern region, and the chief nobles all lost their current power and wealth-this fact finally awakened the chief nobles in the central and southern parts of the Yucatan Peninsula. Let them realize that only by uniting - even if they unite, it is impossible to defeat the Athenian Empire.

On top of that, they simply can't get together.

Although the Mayan tribes in the southern Yucatan Peninsula were able to form a coalition under the convening of the Palenque tribe, the Olmecs who worshiped Tezcatlipoca lived in their northern Mexican region.

The Mayans and the Olmecs have had hundreds of years of hatred, so the Mayan coalition forces in the southern Yucatan Peninsula must always guard against the Olmecs' attacks.

Even if they are now aware of the threat posed by the Athenians, it is impossible for the Mayan tribes in the central part of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Mayan tribes in the south to form a coalition against the Athenian Empire.

So when the northern region had been conquered by the Athens Empire and the southern region could not provide help, the Chicana tribe, the most powerful in the central Yucatan Peninsula, took the initiative to send envoys to express their submission to Roy.

Temporary Royal Palace in Puerto Juárez.

Roy personally received the Chicana tribe's emissary.

The messenger of the Chicana tribe, the daughter of the chieftain of the Chicana tribe, and the priestess of Tlaloc, the rain god.

Being both a tribal princess and a priestess is enough to prove the sincerity of the Chicana tribe's voluntary submission.

"Do you Chicana tribe really want to surrender?"

Roy asked suspiciously.

"Even if your family voluntarily surrenders, it will lose its current power and wealth."

The princess priest nodded with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! Not all leaders are selfish, and sacrifice the lives of their people in order to preserve their power and wealth. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices for the people, our family is willing to give up the power and authority to rule the Chicana tribe. Wealth will call upon our vassal tribes to do the same."

Some tribal leaders are selfish. Even if they know that they cannot fight against the Athenian Empire, even if they know that the Athenian Empire will make their tribes live a better life, they will sacrifice their tribes for personal and family self-interest.

Some tribal leaders are selfless, and it is normal for them to voluntarily surrender when they cannot defeat the Athenian Empire—and the Athenian Empire can make their people live a better life.

It can be seen that the princess priest is not lying, Roy said with satisfaction.

"Since your family has such a good consciousness, I will certainly not treat you badly. I will arrange for your family to become first-class citizens of the Athens Empire, so that you can continue to enjoy a life without worrying about food and clothing. If your vassal tribes are willing to submit, these The chief of the tribe will also be a third or fourth class citizen, depending on the situation."

His own family voluntarily surrendered, and was deprived of all powers——the face of the princess priest showed obvious disappointment.

Then she said with a shy blushing face.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! I am not only an envoy to negotiate with you, but also a gift to you."

Of course Roy understood the meaning behind sending a young and beautiful princess before the enemy leader.

"Princess Chicana! I don't need you as a gift, because I already have a wife, and my wife is pregnant. I don't want to betray my wife and hurt my wife and children at the same time."
