Chapter 602 Conditions to be Satisfied by the Feathered Serpent God

After turning the central Yucatan Peninsula into the territory of the Athens Empire, Roy did not wait to conquer the Mayans in the south of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Because the basis of the rule and assimilation of the Mayans by the Athenian Empire is to improve the lives of the Mayans with advanced civilization and technology, so that the Mayans will identify with the Athenian Empire from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, the first thing Roy has to do is to promote the system and civilization technology of the Athenian Empire in the central Yucatan Peninsula, and recruit the Mayans to become soldiers of the Athenian Empire.

1596 BC.

August.

The Athenian islands of Haiti and Cuba enjoyed a bumper harvest of food crops.

This not only allowed the Athenian Empire to have sufficient food for the Athenian soldiers, but also deepened the Maya's identification with the Athenian Empire.

After all, the Athenian Empire has proved with facts that the Athenians have more advanced agricultural technology.

As long as the Mayans accepted the civilization technology of the Athenian Empire, they no longer had to worry about food issues.

The crops in the territory of the Athens Empire were harvested, and Roy immediately summoned [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Mayan soldiers to prepare to incorporate the southern Yucatan Peninsula into the territory of the Athens Empire.

In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices on both sides, Roy specially sent an envoy to negotiate with the most powerful Palenque tribe in the southern Yucatan Peninsula.

The main enemies of the Palenque tribe were the Olmecs in Mexico who worshiped the god of thunder, Tescatlipoca.

If the Palenque tribe chooses to be an enemy of the Athens Empire, the Palenque tribe will face enemies from both sides.

So without any suspense, the Palenque tribe accepted to negotiate with Roy.

Palenque tribe.

Roy came here in person to negotiate with the leader of the Palenque tribe and the priest of the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel.

Inside the stone palace of the chieftain of Palenque.

Roy said straight to the point.

"Chief of Palenque! Under the rule of the Athenian Empire, the central and northern parts of the Yucatan Peninsula, as well as the Mayans of Haiti and Cuba, have all lived a better life than they are now. I hope you can help your people For the sake of profit, take the initiative to give up the power and wealth of the leader. As compensation for you, I will arrange for you to become a first-class citizen, so that you and your family can continue to live a life of no worries. Both the Athenians and the Mayans worship the goddess of the earth Ethnic groups, prove that thousands of years ago, the Athenians and the Mayans had the same ancestors, and the Mayans were assimilated by the distant relatives of the Athenians, which must be better than being conquered and assimilated by the Olmecs who worshiped the god of thunder, Tescatlipoca .”

The leader of Palenque certainly knew that the Mayans in the Athenian Empire were all better off than before.

If given a choice, the Mayans in the southern Yucatan Peninsula also wanted to use iron tools to cultivate more fields and harvest more food.

But the price—

It was the nobles who ruled the Mayans who lost their current power and wealth.

"If I refuse, will you wage war on us?"

"Of course!"

Roy nodded and said.

"If you leaders and nobles harm the interests of the people for your own self-interest, I will not only use war to take away your power and wealth, but also degrade you into lifelong slaves as punishment."

Facing Roy's threat, the leader of Palenque gritted his teeth and said.

"Can I make a request? As long as you Athens can help us eliminate the Olmecs, I am willing to give up my power, and I will also call on the leaders of the vassal tribes to give up their power."

The Olmecs were of course a powerful enemy to the Mayans.

If the Athenians could eliminate the Olmecs, the Palenque tribe would willingly submit to the Athenian Empire.

If the Athenians and the Olmecs lose both, or even lose to the Olmecs, the Palenque tribe naturally does not need to submit to the Athenian Empire.

"can!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Even if you don't make a request, our Athenian Empire will conquer the Olmecs. Conquering the Olmecs can exchange for your surrender, and to me, it kills two birds with one stone."

After reaching an agreement with the leader of Palenque, Roy looked at the priestess of the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel.

This young priestess appears to be a daughter of the Palenque tribe.

In other words, she is also a princess priest.

"Priest of the Feathered Serpent God! You don't look like a daughter accompanying your father."

"I'm here to negotiate with you."

The priest of Feathered Serpent God said with a cold face.

"The great Feathered Serpent God Iekotel is the queen of the gods of the New World! If you can respect this fact, our priests of the Feathered Serpent God will call on all Mayans to submit to the Athenian Empire."

The Athenian Empire conquered and assimilated the Mayans, and only the nobles and the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel opposed the Mayans.

Because of the arrival of the Athenian Empire, the nobles lost their power and wealth, and the Feathered Serpent God Ekotel lost his status as the king of the gods.

If the Athens Empire accepts the request of the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel, the chief nobles will completely lose their power to fight against the Athens Empire.

After all, this was the age of theocracy.

Even the Feathered Serpent God Ekotel supported the Athenian Empire, and the chief nobles continued to act perversely, only to be abandoned by ordinary Mayans.

The area of ​​the New World is 4000 to [-] million square kilometers.

In other words, the New World can have four queens of the gods with an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers.

Canada has been assigned to Persephone by Roy.

The overlord of another world - the American region, will become the territory of Metis.

Of the remaining more than 2000 million square kilometers, it is of course possible to allocate a part of it as the territory of the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel.

"I can make an area of ​​500 million square kilometers in Central America the territory of the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel."

Seeing the priest of Feathered Serpent's eyes widen in surprise, Roy continued.

"Of course it is conditional! My condition is that the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel must marry me."

"This is impossible!"

The priest of Feathered Serpent God immediately said angrily.

"The great Feathered Serpent God Iekotel is a holy goddess, an eternal maiden god. No matter whether it is a human man or a male god, neither can desecrate the great Feathered Serpent God."

"Don't refuse so quickly!"

Roy joked with a smile.

"Whether you want to marry me or not, this should be decided by the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel."

"Sluggish guy—"

The priest of Feathered Serpent God said through gritted teeth.

"Haven't you seen it yet? I am possessing my own priest."

After finishing speaking, Feathered Serpent God Iekotel separated from the priest in the form of a human girl.

"Eacotel!"

Roy looked at the Feathered Serpent God Iekotel in surprise and asked.

"Just now you personally refused to marry me?"

"That's right!"

Iowa Cotel nodded and said.

"Although I don't want to marry you, the area of ​​500 million square kilometers in Central America you mentioned has become my territory-I am very satisfied with this."

"You don't want to marry me, but you still want the territory I promised you?"

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't talk about a territory of 500 million square kilometers, I can give you a territory of 500 square kilometers. If you want to have a territory of [-] million square kilometers, you must meet two conditions. You must either marry me or defeat me. The goddess of the Athenian Empire who came to the New World."
