Aztec Eternals

"Aztec Eternal (

The red sandalwood burns slowly in the white jade furnace. It shimmers with bright stars, rises with a faint smoke, and exudes a mellow woody fragrance. The soft fragrance lingers in the tent and is refreshing. All the generals stood silently, waiting for His Highness's decision.

In the pure fragrance, Shirot watched quietly and touched it lightly. The warm sandalwood has a uniform color and delicate material, and is carved into a graceful hummingbird; while the cool jade furnace is crystal clear, smooth and moist, polished into a pure sun. The sun's hummingbirds burn hot, emitting light, heat and fragrance, changing their surroundings. This is just like the Legion of Mexica, with the light of faith, the enthusiasm of conquest, and the blood of slaughter, reshaping everything in the Mikancho region!

Xiulott pondered for a long time, until the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and a refreshing breeze hit. The black wolf Toltek, with high fighting spirit, strode in, and then slammed down to one knee.

"Your Highness, your black wolf, Toltec sees the king of wolves!"

Seeing Toltek who was in high spirits, Shiroute smiled. He stretched out his hand to pull "Black Wolf" up and asked with a smile.

"Toltek, have you done everything I gave you?"

"Of course! Your Highness, I dragged the daring rat fish, waved his marshal's flag, and showed a circle among the newly surrendered Tecos militia! Seeing the seemingly surrendered North Marshal, the Tecos surrendering soldiers were shocked. Inexplicable and changing expressions, it will definitely be a lot easier to discipline later!"

Toltec laughed loudly, with disdain for Russians.

Hearing this, Shilot laughed.

"Ospie is neither willing to die calmly, nor willingly surrender, in the end, he still can't save his face. Since that's the case, and he is supported by delicious food, drag him all the way to show the public! Wait until the spirit in his heart dissipates. If you do, your face will lose face, and if you have a suitable reason, you will naturally submit to the Alliance!"

Toltec looked up at His Highness with some puzzlement.

"His Royal Highness, all the warriors of Ospai's family died in battle, and the fief was also conquered by the alliance. What's the use of such a cowardly squid, taking so much effort to deal with it?"

Shirlot smiled and patted Ai General on the shoulder.

"My black wolf, to conquer a country, you must use both the battle stick and the heart! You have to divide a whole piece of the enemy by various methods and solve it in parts. Just like a warrior who is good at fighting, and You won't face multiple enemies in a group at the same time, but you have to run and jump to create the opportunity to fight alone, and then easily solve the opponents one by one!"

Having said that, Shirot looked around at the confidant in the tent, and the person was just right, so he spoke again.

"You all come here, listen carefully! This is the lifelong experience of a certain marshal, who can not only fight in wars but also govern politics. First sentence, the first question in war is, who are our enemies? Who are our friends?

Among the Tarasco people, there are royal families, priests, great nobles, and minor nobles; those who control the force are warriors, militia, and foreign mercenaries; those who are ruled are ordinary merchants, craftsmen, and commoners , and even slaves everywhere. These people are completely different beings! There are contradictions of varying degrees among and even within each stratum, and some contradictions even exceed our opposition! "

Shirot looked around, the teacher Olosh was thoughtful, the monkey Kuluka's eyes flashed, the veteran Etaliq showed a clear face, only the black wolf Toltek was at a loss. The young commander took note of his performance and spoke again.

"The army fought all the way. At the beginning, the Otomi people of Ottopan, the royal family, priests, nobles, samurai, militia, and foreign mercenaries of Tarasco were all our enemies. And the merchants of Tarasco , craftsmen, civilians, slaves, are all serving the enemy. However, as the army is like a broken bamboo, all the way to the south, the situation has changed step by step!"

"After the alliance, the Ottopans became our allies and sent troops to fight with us. After the battle of Lake Yuriria, a small number of Tarasco warriors began to surrender, as did some of the militia. After the capture of the estuary fortress, There were more militiamen who surrendered, nobles who surrendered, and marshals who were unwilling to surrender. After conquering Huayamo Fortress, the foreign mercenaries did not resist much, so they surrendered to the alliance. Between the two fortresses, hundreds of miles away There are many villages and towns that have surrendered on the land."

"At this moment, large numbers of Tarrasco civilians and slaves are beginning to appear in the lands controlled by the Alliance. I have ordered Ezpan to form the Tarrasco Legion from the descendants. In the future, the number of the Legion It will gradually increase, the training will gradually strengthen, and it will even surpass the current Legion of Mexica!"

Hearing this, worry appeared on the faces of the generals, Olosh hesitated, Kuluka's expression moved, and Etalic held the sun talisman around his neck. Well, Toltec continued to be dazed.

Shirot smiled, then his expression became serious.

"Next, the second sentence. The changing situation is divided into different stages. At each stage, we focus on the most stubborn groups, so that the more friends the better, the fewer enemies the better!"

"In the first stage, we have to conquer the capital of Tarasco and eliminate the kingdom's regime in the Lake District. At this time, the royal family and the great nobles of the capital of Tarasco are the enemies that must be eliminated! Due to the nature of the war, The high priest of the Royal Capital Temple is also an enemy that must be eliminated! On the passage of the legion's march, on all the land that has been captured, the powerful nobles are the enemy that must be eliminated!

Outside the capital and the control area, the big nobles and small nobles in various places, the vassal tribes of Tecos, and even the warriors and militia of the capital are all objects that can be negotiated and compromised. We want them to be as neutral as possible, even to be our friends.

Among them, the power of the local nobles is the most powerful. Therefore, the alliance will promise the autonomy of the mountain Wetamo state, and recruit the petty nobles of the Sittaquaro state. Next, after repelling the reinforcements in the Lake Chapala region, I will send them messengers to temporarily promise their autonomy and peace. As for the Akambaro State in the east, if there is no chance of defeating it in one fell swoop, envoys can also be sent to promise the preservation of the fiefs of large and small nobles. "

"At this moment, I take the Russian faction with me as an example of obedience, in order to differentiate these nobles and give them a chance to surrender. When the Russian faction officially surrenders, he will become the best communication channel. Help the Alliance recruit the Tarrasco Lords from all over the world!"

Hearing this, Toltec slapped his thigh as if he finally understood, and laughed loudly.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness wants to surrender all the Tarrasco ratfish! But if the cowardly ratfish surrender, where will the warriors go to obtain glorious military exploits and rich wealth?"

Shiloh chuckled lightly, patted the black wolf on the shoulder, and continued to speak.

"And when the first stage is completed and the kingdom's regime in Tarasco is eliminated, it will enter the second stage. In this stage, we must control the religious power on the one hand, and control more land and manpower on the other hand. The legion must Sweep the small nobles in the control area, transform all the Tarasco priests, directly control the commoners everywhere, and at the same time sweep down the big nobles in the adjacent areas! The new rule must go deep into the village, whether in the name of the gods, or In the name of the Alliance!"

"At this stage, the pagan priests in the control area and the Tarrasco nobles in the adjacent area are all enemies that must be eliminated! The warriors and militiamen who are willing to swear allegiance to the alliance, and the merchants and civilians who obey the rule are our friends. , and try to make them our own. We want to establish a new ruling order, an enlightened promotion channel, and a centralized and powerful kingdom!"

Hearing this, Kuluka's eyes flickered from a low-level civilian. He looked at the majestic Highness and asked carefully and cautiously.

"Your Highness, then what is the third stage?"

Shirot was stunned. He thought for a moment and said slowly.

"The third stage is to expand the area of ​​effective control, conquer the Chapala Lake District, the mountainous Wetamo state, control the southern Tecos state of Colima, influence the northern Tecos tribes, and then naturalize and clean up Guamar Dog-born, gradually accommodate the Otomi people of the north!"

"Then, Your Highness, what is the fourth stage?"

Hearing the monkey's words, Xiulote's eyes became deep. He thought of many, many alliances, nobles, commoners, slaves, distant countries in the old world, and even the infinite future. After a while, he calmly shook his head.

"Monkey, you will see the fourth stage, that is our time!"

There was silence in the tent again. The generals digested His Highness's teachings and experienced the heroic ambition. Their hearts were also surging. After a while, the confident and fearless Toltec asked loudly.

"Your Highness, is there a third sentence?"

Shirot thought for a while, and said slowly with deep meaning.

"Yes. The third sentence is that the contradictions are constantly changing, the struggle will never stop, and the enemy will always exist."

Hearing this, Olosh and Etalic looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and then separated their eyes.

The tent fell silent again, and the sandalwood burned quietly. The fragrance of Youyuan penetrates people's hearts, and with flying thoughts, it crosses time and space until the changing future.

Until the tent door was opened again, Barda, the deputy commander of the royal family, and Natalie, the commander of the God's Blessing Army, came together. They knelt down on one knee one after another, and respectfully saluted Shilot in turn.

"Your Highness, praise the king! The great alliance supports us, and under the command of the noble royal family, the legions of the alliance have achieved brilliant victories!"

Barda, dressed in the flamboyant costume of an eagle warrior, looked delighted. He clenched his fist with one hand and put it on his chest, performing an ancient noble etiquette.

"Respected chief priest, praise the Lord God! The supreme Lord God has blessed us, and under the guidance of the holy priest, the army of the Lord God has won a glorious victory!"

Natalie wore the simple robe of the Divine Blessed Legion and looked solemn. He held the sun talisman around his neck, facing the young priest, praying devoutly.

Sherlot looked at the two last arriving team leaders, listened to their different words, and laughed heartily. He opened his hands and held up the two of them, and replied the same.

"Barda, I dedicate the glorious victory to the noble royal family, and the honor of the battle to the immortal ancestors! The land and civilians of Tarrasco are destined to become an inseparable part of the alliance!"

"Natalie, I dedicate the glorious victory to the supreme sun god, and the noble sacrifice to the great **** of war! The alien gods of Tarasco will be expelled, and this place will become a bright and holy kingdom of gods!"

The three laughed at the same time, and the laughter was the pride of conquest. Then, Barda and Natalie took two steps apart and stood on either side of the generals.

The breeze blew in from outside the tent, and Shirot lowered his eyes slightly. He tasted the waning aroma, another taste, and another attitude of allegiance.

Then, the young commander opened his eyes and looked at Toltec calmly.

"Black Wolf, what's the status of your Longbow militia?"

"His Royal Highness, the longbow militia, apart from the more than 100 people who have been wounded, still has 1,500. They have already put on the captured cotton armor, and after resting, they are ready to go out at any time! In addition, the longbow that was left behind has been collected. That's right, you only need to add new soldiers, and you can form an army again!"

Shirot nodded slightly. After the water battle on the lake and the siege of the city, the Longbow militia suffered great damage. Their equipment has been upgraded to reduce the casualties of the hit. These militias have precise mid-range and short-range shooting skills, and are good at small-group operations, making them ideal for sniping or harassing guerrillas.

"The longbow militia continues to guard the Huayamo Fortress, waiting for the next order! Toltec, you should select from the three thousand Tex tribesmen who surrendered. According to the previous method, select five hundred people who are good at shooting and join in Among the Longbow Militia, hurry up and train.

As for the remaining 2,500 people, including all the tribal leaders, they were handed over to Anatri, the captain of the Marine Corps by Lake Quetseo. She would send half of the fleet back to carry rations, so she would take these unstable captives and hand them over to the northern general, Ocellol, as a thank you for providing reinforcements of the Canines.

These far-from-home Turks are more likely to be used for their own use in the great cities of the far north. The army of the General of the North needs fresh blood that is easy to control, and so does my army. Let Anatri speak: If General Ocellol wishes, the exchange of Chichimeks and Turks can continue, and I will provide support for weapons! "

Toltec agreed loudly. He repeated it silently in his heart, and then realized His Highness's arrangement.

Then, Shirot looked at Barda and smiled kindly.

"Barda, how many of the three thousand royal legions are left?"

Balda looked a little heavy, he said loudly.

"His Royal Highness, the siege of Huayamo Fortress has damaged hundreds of warriors. The three thousand legions I led, and now there are less than two thousand people left! The royal legion is the real elite, please give them enough, Your Royal Highness. Compassion and Rewards!"

Shirot nodded slowly.

"Okay. I will personally preside over the funerals of the dead, and give generous rewards to the casualties! Barda, next, your legion will also be stationed on the spot in Huayamo. Guard the fortress well, and then appease the army!"

The majestic eagle warrior bowed his head. Shilot finally looked at Natalie of the Divine Blessed Legion.

"Natalie, how is the Divine Blessed Legion now?"

Natalie nodded respectfully, never letting go of the amulet in his hand.

"Praise the Lord God, He blesses us! Your Highness, this siege, the legion is only blocking the periphery, the warriors' morale is high, and there is no damage. The Lord God is supreme, and the battle of God is great! God bless the two thousand warriors of the Legion, willing to be the Lord God at any time. Dedication!"
