The green smoke rises from the pottery pot where the salt is boiled, straight into the distant sky. Wherever the long winds passed, the lake of Texcoco raised waves like a changing Heart Lake. In an instant, the tide rises and falls, and only the treasures at the bottom of the lake remain unchanged.

Shirot broke free from Talaia's embrace and stood up slowly. A few moments ago, the impulse of youth made him stand up, face the awe-inspiring Avit, and save the gunpowder in charge. But at this time, after the conflict, when he recalled Xingye's promise and reflected on the interference of desire, he only became clear in the baptism of world affairs.

He blocked the potter girl he wanted to lean on with his hand and shook his head gently.

"Talaia, you are very talented. You are good at gunpowder research."

After finishing speaking, Shirot gave Taliya a deep look, then turned and left alone, with a determined pace.

Bertard sighed. The samurai chief knew the boy well, and knew that he had already made a decision, so he could only shake his head and follow.

The sun went down suddenly, and the capital city in the lake alternated between light and dark. The constant bonfire burning in the high priest's mansion is the light that never goes out in the eyes of the young man.

"Shirot, my child. She's just an ordinary woman. No matter how beautiful she is, she'll give it up. Why should she be opposed to the king?"

The high priest frowned slightly, looking at his grandson, who had devoted his efforts, with exhortation in his words.

Sherlot shook his head calmly.

"She is my highly valued subordinate and an important research craftsman. I cannot let her be taken away. I manage Shenqiu Institute, Tianhuo Island and the new army camp, and my subordinates are followers, priests, craftsmen and new army. ..grandfather, I am no longer a dependent child..."

"Now, I am a leader, the backbone of tens of thousands of people, and there are thousands of servants willing to die. These people rely on me, and I must protect them. Even Avit can't handle my important affairs at will. , to distract the group. You once said to me that the eagle will rule the sky, the jaguar will rule the earth, and the king must rule the people."

Hearing this, the high priest laughed. He patted Shilot on the shoulder and stopped touching the boy's head.

"My family's young eagles have grown up and will be the sole leader of the mountains and forests, soaring across the world."

Then the high priest watched the most outstanding descendants and taught them carefully.

"My child, continue to hone your ambitions. At the core of power, the strong always cooperate and confront, confront and compromise. The alliance only recognizes the strong, and the rules are only used to restrain the commoners. You must be strong enough to come Inherit what I am now and come to a higher peak.

Remember, in the jungles of Mexica, supremacy does not come naturally, it is always accompanied by fierce competition. As the old saying goes, only what can be taken by force can be surrendered peacefully...and of course you need to pay attention to strategy..."

As the night darkened, the bonfire gradually went out. Shulot was lying on the bed, holding the little green snake in his arms, feeling soft and cold, thinking about obedience and wildness, and fell asleep like that.

On the second day, Shilot got up early and trained as usual. After breakfast, he carried a wooden box and headed to Montezuma Palace.

The North Road advance army is about to go out, and the various troops begin to be dispatched. Yesterday, my grandfather agreed to a thousand temple guards, giving priority to familiarity with bows and crossbows, and dispatching a corps of priests to accompany the army. Now, he is going to ask the king for his direct samurai.

When he saw Avit again, the king's face was calm and majestic, and he had a book of "Noble Law" spread out in his hand.

"Shirot, go talk to Alyssa first, she's been talking about you for a long time."

Shulot nodded and went to the garden in the backyard.

Alyssa was still dressed in white. Seeing the young man, she approached with joy and gave a light hug.

Shilot was silent for a moment and opened the wooden box behind him. He carved out Meng, who was still sleeping, and handed it to Alyssa's arms.

"I'll be out soon. Little Avellot can accompany you."

Alyssa held the little golden eagle and gently stroked its soft little head.

Mengdiao opened his eyes, looked at the girl in white, and asked, "Hahaha?". Afterwards, it distinguished a good person, and issued a short joyful "Yoyo! Yoyo!", shaking its neck and rubbing.

Sherlot sat silently, without speaking.

Alyssa blinked her pure eyes and said.

"Shirot, my study of herbs is progressing very fast. Thank you for the inheritance of the chief priest. Soon, I will be able to make a drink that will make you happy."

Shulot nodded and listened quietly.

"In the past two days, both you and your father have been feeling down!"

Shirot raised his head, looked at the girl's innocent expression, then lowered his head and said nothing.

"I can feel your mood. Father is depressed and angry. Yesterday, he beat a bodyguard of his cronies, and then drove Uncle Gilliam out of the palace, and he was not allowed to come in for several days."

Shirot raised his head again, a little surprised. Why did Arvet punish Gilliam?

"Gilliam? Why?"

"Well, Uncle Gilliam seems to have made a serious mistake, and my father is offended, so he's angry."

"Then, in Alyssa's eyes, what kind of person is Gilliam?"

"Uncle Gilliam always had a serious face. He never cared about himself, he cared about everyone, no matter how small. The whole person has lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, my brother will be fine soon. "

Shilote thought for a moment, and his face became solemn. Alyssa suddenly held the boy's hand.

"Shirot, um, I want to tell you that my uncle is good to everyone here, but he is only hostile to you, you need to be careful."

Looking at the girl's concerned eyes, Shiloh was moved, and lowered his head silently.

"I can feel your mood. Shulot, you are a little guilty in your depression, and you have been reluctant to look into my eyes, why?"

Shilot was speechless. He sat next to Alyssa, watching the little golden eagle flutter and take off slightly, and smelling the fragrance of the flowers on the girl's body made his heart become pure. After a long while, he spoke.

"Alyssa, I'm fine. I'm leaving."

Alyssa tilted her head and looked at Shilot for a while, then took out a clumsy cotton sachet and placed it in the boy's hand.

"Shirot, this is the sachet I sewed, and it's filled with good-smelling vanilla pods and refreshing horse mint. Well, you'll use it when you go out."

Xiulott took the sachet, looked at the crooked lines on it, and then held the girl's hand and looked at his fingers. He was silent for a moment, gave Alyssa a hug, then turned and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Avit walked down from the window on the second floor. He sat cross-legged in the hall, picked up the newly printed paper book again, and his face was calm.

Shulot walked into the hall, but he didn't see the intelligence officer. At the king's signal, he sat cross-legged across from him.

"Respected king, the advance army is about to go out. I need more longbow warriors for the naval expedition."

Avett nodded slightly.

"Shirot, longbow warriors need the basics of bows and arrows. The warriors in the entire lake area have been selected, and only more than 5,000 are qualified, and they have all been recruited. I will give you two thousand longbow warriors, each with two bows. These elites, You need to cherish it when you use it!"

Shilott bowed down.

"Follow your will."

Avit thought for a moment, then slowly ordered again.

"I will give a regiment of 8,000 troops to the Northern Army. In addition to the 2,000 longbows, according to your proposal, the 3,000 royal warriors will be handed over to Barda and will join the advance army immediately. The remaining 3,000 warriors will be completed in October at the latest. Mobilize, commanded by the glorious noble Tepopolo, and join the Northern Route Army. The Northern Route Army is controlled by you, and you need to negotiate and levy the remaining troops with the city-states in the northern land."

Shirot nodded respectfully. This is what it should be. The alliance center issues a call for war, and each city-state decides the scale of its response.

Later, the teenager recalled the terrain on both sides of the Leman River and made a request.

"Respected king, I need a group of elite nobles. The jaguar warriors can serve as the elite sentinels of the army, assisting the communication of various departments. The eagle warriors will serve as the solid backbone of the battle formation and unify the warriors of all departments."

Avit considered for a long time before speaking.

"I will give you another five hundred jaguar chapters. The army is dispatched, and you cannot lack eyes and ears. But the backbone of the eagle chapters cannot be given to you. They must be the tactical core to gather a hundred thousand troops on the southern road. For these alliances Military aristocrats, you must be careful not to suffer heavy casualties!"

Shulot understands the influence of these warrior nobles, and also believes in the combat effectiveness of these elite chapters. He nodded respectfully.

In the Aztec culture, the eagle is the symbol of the sun, and the eagle warrior is the guardian of the sun god, and the layers are selected from the real aristocratic class. They will only be used at the most critical times, their status is equivalent to the Yulin Army, their formations are strict and tend to be defensive, and they cannot be easily damaged. The jaguar is the guardian of the rain god, open to the bottom warriors and can be used more.

Avit stared at the young man in front of him, and ordered in a solemn and deep voice.

"Shirot, my student, the army directly under the royal family is about to be dispatched. The alliance will advance in two directions, and the north and south will test the pressure on the Tarasco people at the same time. I hand over the North Road Army to you and have high expectations for you. Don't let me down!"

Hearing this, Shulot paid a big salutation visit and promised in a loud voice. He took the cold cocoa from the maid and drank it all in one gulp, letting the bitterness and sweetness reverberate in his mouth, and the bright red cocoa dripping from the corners of his mouth. Then, he bowed deeply and left.

The rest of April is to prepare for war and gather food and forage. Shulot set up a camp on the west side of the capital, at the source of the Leman River. The 1000 Guards Battalion, carrying longbows, entered first. Followed by a thousand temple guards, hundreds of priests. Finally, there are 2,000 longbow warriors and 3,000 stick shield warriors directly under the royal family.

In the middle of the journey, Shilot went to the Divine Revelation again, took 200 crossbows, and delivered them to the Temple Guard of his cronies. The bow-stretching crossbow has lower requirements for bowing, but it also requires a certain foundation. Then, he didn't do it himself, but just sent someone to Tianhuo Island to get 10,000 rockets and hundreds of pottery brittles that were expedited to make, enough for a war.

With the arrival of a new batch of craftsmen and samurai, Tianhuo Island has become a large arsenal. Of course, the production of gunpowder weapons takes time, and the raw materials for gunpowder need to be accumulated. This batch of weapons is already the entire inventory.

As April draws to a close, the air is getting more humid. The rainy season is just around the corner when the first ray of dark clouds from the east hit the sky and bring the water vapor of the vast sea.

With the escort, Shulot came out of the camp, and finally inspected the nearby villages, watching the vigorous vitality and new changes.

The rainy season is always followed by the busy spring ploughing. On the land of the Union, tens of thousands of farmers began to work hard. They burn the dense forests and wild grass in the fields, dig in the soil with stone tools, and sow the seeds of corn, looking forward to the hope of a year's harvest.

The village priests of the alliance built the altar, and they no longer used the emblem and ritual of the **** of corn, and replaced it with the main **** of the hummingbird and the sun.

"The Lord God controls the sun and illuminates the world. He ate the Feathered Serpent God, the **** of corn, and from then on he controls the world's harvest!"

Facing the terrified village peasants, the priests of the capital explained this. They raised a holy fire, offered several grains, and prayed for the coming of the Lord God and his gifts. Everything is the same as in previous years, except that the gods have been changed to create the almighty supreme.

Farmers remain apprehensive. They would whisper to the priests, make private sacrifices to the **** of corn~www.readwn.com~ and even make requests to Shirot in priestly clothes. The young priest shook his head and refused, calmly looking at the worried peasant.

"This is an age of mythology. The stubborn farmers will only begin to accept the Lord God when the new year's harvest is in progress. Only a good harvest that lasts for several years can fully convince the farmers. Once the most traditional farmers Only after accepting the main **** and the new monotheistic belief can we truly take root in this rich land."

Facing the vast field, Shirault thought so. Afterwards, he looked at the dark clouds in the east, and with wind, thunder and torrential rain, he gradually moved towards the west, and nodded slowly.

Two days later, the continuous fleet came. Three hundred large boats with thousands of small boats, full of food for the north, docked at the riverside camp. With 7,000 elite warriors, Shulot boarded the mighty fleet, along the long Leman River, and officially announced the westward expedition!

Thousands of miles of Leman River all the way west. The raging rivers carried mighty fleets, and the armies of the Mexicans went westward, with the determination of the warriors to conquer, with the glory of the priest-gods, with the desire for independence of the kings, to the lands of the Tarrascos.

A few days later, Seirot met with representatives of the local nobles in the western city-state, and had a feast at the banquet, and got drunk together. Afterwards, he met privately with the nobles who had already agreed, and talked about his grandfather's friendship and his future promise in exchange for the support of the city-states. Three thousand city-state warriors once again joined the vanguard of the Western Expedition.

The army set off again, and the fleet of the western expedition crossed the borders of the western city-states. On the most magnificent boat, Thuloteo looked at both sides of the river. His eyes have seen the mountains and forests along the river of the Tomi people, and the faint hills and villages of the Tarasco people on the south bank. Finally, two weeks later, he saw the starting point again. The wooden castle on the banks of the Leman River still stands, and the battlefield by the river is overgrown with grass.
