Aztec Eternals

The night is dark, and the waves are carrying whispers scattered in the town of Iron Bay on the coast of Cuba. And when the morning dawn breaks, the sun rises over the jungle, illuminating the Ceiba City of the lowland Maya.

From Tiewan Town to Kapok City, there are two thousand miles of Cuban coast, one thousand miles of Caribbean waves, plus one thousand miles of the northern coast of the Maya, which adds up to four thousand miles. And if the kingdom wants to open up these four thousand miles of sea routes, the only remaining obstacle is the last thousand miles of the northern coast of the Maya...

Kapok City is the capital of the Canul clan, an ancient Mayan city-state that has been passed down for thousands of years. Five hundred years ago, the Toltec king led an expedition to conquer the Mayan holy land of Chichen Itza, and then enfeoffed the plateau warriors he followed on the west coast of the Maya. This ancient city-state in the center of the West Bank was also within the enfeoffed territory, and eventually belonged to the Canul clan formed by the marriage of plateau warriors and local Maya nobles.

This ancient city is named after Kapok, and the sacred Kapok tree can be seen everywhere. Although it is not yet the season for kapok flowers to bloom, the faint red and white buds are already showing. As soon as the spring breeze arrives, the city will be filled with the fragrance and blooming of flowers.

The buildings in the ancient city of Kapok blend the characteristics of the plateau and Mayan civilization, and there are obvious differences between the old and the new. The center of the city-state is a single pyramid temple that is at least thirty meters high, but the temple enshrines the two main gods of the Kanur clan, the Mayan Quetzalcoatl God, the wind **** Kukulkan, and the more respected rain god. The **** Chac is the same as the rain **** worshiped by the people in the clouds.

On the platform in front of the Kanur Temple, there is also a human-shaped sacrificial stone, Chacmool, the messenger of the rain god. Obviously, these two main gods of Canul both have the background of plateau gods, and are the new Mayan gods brought by the Toltec conquests.

Looking down at the city-state from the pyramid of the central temple, you can see more than ten temples of gods, high and low, most of which have distinctive Mayan carvings. Some temples have mottled masonry and worn carvings, making them look extremely ancient, while others have neat bluestones and new paintings and carvings, obviously built not long ago. The main temple of Huitziloppo, located on the south side of the city-state and guarded by hundreds of warriors from the kingdom, is the latest one among them!

"Praise the Lord Huitziloppo! He is the God of the Plateau and the God of the Maya! He and the Serpent God are one and the same, in charge of the present era, and the skull of the ancient saint witnesses everything and gathers divinity on it, Let the thunder resound across Maya!…”

"Boom boom boom!..."

Along with the announcement of the main priest, the red flag flashed above the head of Nancheng. Then, ten eagle cannons roared together, emitting a shocking thunder in the Lake Kingdom military camp on the south side of the city-state! When the terrible thunder came, the four thousand Kanur warriors guarding Kapok City and the eight thousand tribal militia mobilized were all full of fear and awe. Many people even knelt down on the ground and prayed loudly in fear towards the new main temple.

"God of War of the Plateau! We, the Kanur clan, are also Toltec descendants from the plateau...please! Please take back the power of thunder, take back the flames of disaster, and don't bring the terrible doomsday to the clan. !…”

"Praise the Lord God! He gave a sacred prophecy and guided the invincible legions on the plateau to this rich and beautiful land of Maya, where they met the long-separated Jiao brothers!..."

In the main temple of Kapok City, Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea smiled slightly and looked around at the people in the temple. The envoys from various clan emirates were obviously frightened by the sudden thunder, and all of them looked solemn and silent.

"Praise the Lord God of the Plateau! Praise the Old God of the Serpent! The ancient saints guide us and let the sacred tribes meet here... Our Mayapan royal family has been silent for fifty years and has been blessed by the ancient saints. Today, we declare that Mayakuhu Ahao will be restored. The country will be rejuvenated!…”

The leader of the Kokom clan and the newly promoted Mayakuhu Ahoti Akin prayed solemnly, breaking the silence in the temple. He was less than thirty years old, but he was sitting at the top of the crowd closest to the statue. His broad forehead is engraved with the emblem of the main god, his slender head wears an unfolded Mayan noble feather crown, and between his short neck is a traditional obsidian amulet. Not far from him, sat a bald old fox with a smile on his face, the Mayan businessman Tikallo. The two nobles' uniforms were both engraved with a snake pattern with the word "big", which was the emblem of the Cocom family!

"Ahem! Praise the gods and the ancient saints! The sacred skull of the ancient saint appears in the world, and the sacred source summons all the descendants of the gods. In the past two days, the envoys have carefully checked the authenticity of the sacred object and discussed with each other. ...Then what is the reply to the master-slave covenant for the restoration of the Mayapan royal family? The envoys represent the clans behind it?"

The leader of the Kanuer clan, Kanu Snake King, coughed slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the envoys from each tribe with a smile. "Snake King" is the honorific name of the leader of the Kanu clan, and the emblem of the Kanu clan is a snake head with narrow eyes and a pointed nose.

"The most revered divine object, the skull of the ancient saint!..."

The eyes of the envoys from various ministries flashed, and their gazes were focused on the statue of the main **** intentionally or unintentionally. There is an altar made of gold and stone. On the altar is placed a smooth, jade-like, bright, arm-length, cocoa bean-shaped white skull with an extremely perfect arc!

Under the sunlight from the patio, the skull was slightly translucent, glowing with a warm milky white color, and seemed to have a slight yellowish tint. The soul-stirring color doesn't look as ferocious as the skull at all, but instead has a beauty like a work of art.

In the eyes of many Mayan nobles, the long head, snake face, and fangs that completely fit their aesthetics are like the incarnation of all the gods in the world, suddenly emerging from myths and legends! And the slightly rough and mottled surface seems to be imprinted with the traces of time, telling the divinity of the ancient first era and the glory of the Mayan Golden Age! …

"Gods and ancestors! This is the source of divinity, the skull of the ancient saint, a truly immortal artifact! If you can get this artifact and get the divine approval of the ancient saint, you will have the power to rule the lowland Maya, and even The whole qualification of Maya!…”

Seeing the luster of the "Skull of the Ancient Saint", the envoys' eyes flickered, their Adam's apples twitched, and their breathing became somewhat heavy. The envoys from each ministry looked at each other, and all kinds of complex calculations were going through their minds, just like the 20 multiplication table they had memorized since childhood...

There was a moment of silence in the temple, and more than a dozen slender heads shook slightly as if attracted by divine objects. After a while, Xiu Wa, the divine messenger of the Xiwu family, looked gloomy and was the first to stand up and respond.

"Witness the Serpent God and the ancestral spirits! This so-called ancient holy skull was forged by the plateau barbarians! The Mayapan royal family has been destroyed for fifty years, and the Cocom family has suffered divine punishment and has been completely extinct... These two people do not know where they came from. The ant people who appeared out of nowhere are not descendants of Kokom, and have no bloodline at all! Not only do they believe in the evil **** of the plateau, they also offend the ancient sanctity and deceive all the Maya tribes. They will surely suffer divine punishment and die! …”

"Gods above! As the only descendants of the Heavenly Serpent God, the Xiwu Clan will never compromise with the plateau barbarians who killed the Heavenly Serpent Goddess, or with the descendants of the volcano monsters! The Xiwu Clan will fight against these for the sake of the gods and ancestors. The invading barbarians fight to the death! And the clans that dare to help these barbarians are all enemies of the Xiwu clan!…"

"Ha! Witness the sun god, the snake god, and the ancestral spirits! I, the Mayapan royal family, will definitely completely destroy the despicable Xiu clan! The blood feud of slaughtering the city, destroying the clan and destroying the country will always be engraved in the hearts of the Cocom family! This hatred will not be forgotten from generation to generation. Until the last male of Xiwu **** descent dies!..."

Tiakim stared angrily at the Xiu messenger Xiuwa and swore an oath to fight until death. His arms trembled with anger, and his right hand tightly grasped the copper ax at his waist. Ti Carlo patted his shoulder gently, indicating that he should stay calm, and then looked at Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea.

Bertard frowned slightly, thinking silently. It was at his insistence that the Xiwu clan’s envoys were invited to this meeting. In fact, the Kingdom in the Lake has no intention of conquering or destroying the Xiwu clan, the most powerful among the clans located deep in the jungle. If the Xiwu clan is willing to give in, let go of the hatred of the prince's murder, and not affect the kingdom's sea route to Cuba, the rest can be negotiated.

But the current reaction of the Xiwu clan, the blood feud with the Cocom clan, and the hatred with the kingdom, there is really no possibility of resolving it. When the situation has developed to this point, the Cocom clan has converted to the main **** and has been firmly bound to the Kingdom of the Lake. They have even handed over the legal principles for inheriting the Mayan Kingdom. They can only destroy the Xiwu clan as an enemy!

"Come here! Drive the Xiwu envoy out of the city!..."

Bertard waved his hand, and several seaside warriors wore bronze armor and held big axes to drive Xiu, the Xiu envoy, away from the temple. Xiuwa turned around with a sullen face, glanced coldly at Kanu Snake King and Kapur's messenger Jinmu, and gave a low "hum". Finally, he nodded to Bai Xing, the envoy of the Ekabu chiefdom and the descendant of the Yixi clan. Bai Xing Ixi bowed her head in return, and Xiu Wa never returned.

Seeing Xiu Wa leaving, the envoys from the Wei Yu clan, the Lu Chong clan, and the Li Shu clan all stood up and chased after the Xi Wu envoy. These three small clans are all northern vassals of the Xiwu clan. They have been subordinate to Xiwu for at least two generations and will not betray easily.

"."

The messenger of the Wei Yu clan, Tai Ying, was last among the three, and his steps were obviously hesitant. After all, the vanguard of the Black Wolf Legion had already reached the territory of the Wei Yu clan and even captured several noble estates around the Stone Carving City... But in the end, Tai Ying did not stay and chose to leave with the Xiwu envoy. The attitude of the four clans of Xiwu, Weiyu, Luchong, and Lishu is now clear. They are completely hostile with no possibility of compromise!

"The Xiwu clan is located deep in the jungle, and it is difficult to attack. However, these three small offshore clans do not know whether to live or die, and they block the Mayan coast where the kingdom is advancing..."

Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea looked calm, secretly harboring murderous intent. He continued to observe the reactions of the envoys from various ministries, especially the powerful Kapoor clan and Ekabu chiefdom. Unexpectedly, the second person to stand up was the envoy of the Chel theocratic chiefdom, the Serpent God Priest Amuchel.

"The gods are paying attention to the jungle, and the snake eyes distinguish the true from the false! This skull of the ancient saint is exactly the same as the record in the inherited epic. It should be a real divine object! And the two descendants of the gods are indeed the noble Coco The surviving family of Mu, the last Mayan royal family!…”

Amuchel looked solemn. First he bowed his head respectfully and saluted the sacred skull, and then made a serious salute to Tiakin. Then, with a stern look in his eyes, he displayed the Mayan god's unique skill of manipulating the eyes that he had trained since childhood. He glanced sideways at the statue of the main **** with one eye, and glanced sideways at Bertard with the other eye, and said coldly.

"The temple priests of Qertianshui City will never admit that the God of War of the plateau tribe is the Maya living **** who is one with the Serpent God! The ancient saint will never issue such a ridiculous decree. , to guide the noble Mayapan royal family to convert to some plateau god!"

"Respected Mayapan royal family and Kokom clan leader, please think carefully and wake up from the bewitchment of the plateau gods as soon as possible and return to the right path of the Serpent God! As long as you return to the embrace of the Serpent God, the Kingdom of Chel will mobilize All warriors and men, join your army and support the revival of the Mayapan royal family!..."

"Of course, the Cocom family and the priests of the Tianshui Temple have a sacred covenant that has been passed down for hundreds of years... Even if you are temporarily deceived by the gods of the plateau, the coast of the Chel Kingdom will still be open to you and will support you. A passing legion!…”

"The long head gathers divinity, and the snake face knows the human heart... Dear Te Ajincuhu Ahao, may your descendants continue to be blessed by the ancient saints, and finally return to the right path of the gods!..."

Having said that, Amuchel saluted Tiakin again, and glanced around with side eyes, like a real snake. Then, he reluctantly looked at the crystal-clear skull of the ancient saint, let out a sigh, and strode out of the temple.

It’s a new month, please bow your head and ask for votes!
