Aztec Eternals

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the school field of the Hekou Fortress, three tiger squatting guns were arranged in a row, and they fiercely bombarded the grass target in front! A large plume of white smoke rose from the muzzle, and countless stone pills scattered forward. Within 50 meters, all the leather armor worn by the grass target was broken, and within 20 meters, even the sturdy ship board was broken!

Seeing the power of the tiger squat cannon bombardment, the monkey Kuluka was speechless, and the crocodile Russian was speechless. Only the black wolf Toltek had seen it before, and his expression remained the same.

"how?"

Shirott smiled and asked confidently.

"Excellent! I have always heard that the kingdom has been blessed by God, and a new copper beast has appeared. It turned out to be such a weapon!"

The monkey Kuluka was absent for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness, with this kind of weapon, no one in the world can compete with us!"

"Ha ha!"

Sherlot laughed and looked at Crocodile Russian again.

"Your Majesty, God bless the kingdom!"

Crocodile Ospie bowed his head slightly and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"...within twenty meters, even with the heaviest giant shield, it is impossible to defend against the bombardment of copper beasts. From then on, there will be no more unparalleled warriors in the world!"

Shirot nodded slightly. With the development of firearms, personal bravery will inevitably be eliminated, and the scale of war will become larger and larger, and it will become more and more complex disciplines. Whether it's a land battle or a water battle... The king smiled and asked in a deep voice.

"Russian, the rain **** tiger squat gun weighs up to 100 catties, and is less than half a meter long. Its range is usually within 100 meters, and the closer it is, the more powerful it is. I intend to place the tiger squat gun on the navy's ship, you How's it going?"

Crocodile Ospie pursed his lips, thinking silently. After a while, he asked.

"Your Majesty, can I take a closer look?"

"Can."

Shulot nodded in agreement. waved.

The Russian went around the tiger squat gun, carefully looked at the size and shape of the gun, and touched it. Afterwards, he asked the gunner who was operating it. The firing frequency was about three to four rounds in a quarter of an hour, and the firing angle could be adjusted artificially. Finally, he noticed the copper claws fixed on the ground and the marks left by the gun body in the soil after the artillery bombardment. After a moment of contemplation, he returned respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this bronze beast... Tiger squat gun can be placed on the newly launched crocodile galley! Each boat can be placed two at the bow and at the stern."

Ospie saluted and answered cautiously.

"Two navies meet, usually small boats test back and forth, and the big boats gradually approach. Within 100 meters, the large boats on both sides begin to accelerate and charge each other... The water surface is undulating, and the shooting is usually inaccurate. It is fired before the battle. One shot. This shot can be placed within 20 meters, and the tiger squat guns at the bow or stern can be fired and fired, which can instantly break the shield on the ship and sweep a large boat! ... Morale is important in the battle, as long as you destroy a ship, The rest of the enemy troops will also be terrified. Then the ships collided and started to fight, the gunners continued to reload, and maybe they could launch again..." Hearing the story of Russian, Shirot nodded slowly.

Even a small tiger squatting cannon has a thousand pounds of recoil. The hull of the catamaran is not strong enough and the space is very limited, so it can only be used on a keel-supported paddle-sail warship. The galley warship can carry 80 people, and two small cannons are placed in the front and rear, which is more suitable.

The Condor Cannon weighed 500 catties and was 1.2 meters long. In fact, it could barely be placed on a galley warship. It's just that the Kingdom Navy's current enemy does not have a big ship, and the battle is mainly based on slaughter. Wait until later to fight the expedition ships of the Western colonists, and then consider building a larger ship with heavier artillery.

Shilot pondered for a while, then smiled and agreed.

"Russian, you're right! I'll leave you eight tiger squat guns, more than a dozen gunners, and I'll take the rest to the Alliance. You first put them on two galley warships and work hard. Practice and become familiar with the use of the tiger squat gun! In future water battles, this weapon will be inseparable!"

"Follow your will, Your Majesty!"

Crocodile Russian looked serious, knelt down and saluted. In addition to the Imperial Guard Corps, his navy will be the first kingdom army to be equipped with tiger squat guns, which shows the king's trustworthiness.

Hearing this, the monkey Kuluka's eyes moved. he asked cautiously.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to bring these powerful artillery pieces to the Alliance as a gift to King Avit?"

"Yup."

Shirot smiled calmly.

"The High Priest specially sent a letter to remind that King Avet is very concerned about this new type of weapon. I really should report back to the Alliance."

"Your Highness..."

The monkey Kuluka hesitated, wanted to say something, but felt that it was not the right time. After a while, he silently knelt on the ground and bowed to the ground.

"Please be careful!"

Shulot nodded, stretched out his hand, and shook the monkey's hair. He looked at everyone present and smiled gently.

"It doesn't matter. With you here, I will be as stable as a mountain!"

Three thousand imperial guards stayed at the river mouth fortress for three days. Seirot gathered the warriors, villagers and canines within forty miles to hold a grand ceremony of the main god. Tens of thousands of people came from the four fields and gathered outside the estuary fortress. Then, the king, wearing heavy sacrificial clothes, climbed to the watchtower at the top of the fortress, and personally released three-color fireworks!

Brilliant fireworks bloomed above the fortress, making the cloudy sky flow with strange light. Tens of thousands of people stared, marveled, in awe, looked at the brilliant colors, and listened to the roaring explosions. Then, in the horrified and unbelievable eyes of everyone, the huge "Heart of God" slowly rose, carrying the emblem of the Lord God, and flew into the high sky!

"Praise the Lord God! He descended the divine creation and gave the authority of the sky to the most devout priests!"

Shulot recited loudly, and dozens of priests recited it loudly, and the sacred prayers echoed up and down the fortress.

"Believe in my God! His power is infinite, and he controls the sky, the earth and the ocean! He blesses us and blesses the spring and autumn harvests! He rules the souls of all people, and promises devout believers, that is the destination of the soul, death The future is beautiful!... At this moment, repent to the Supreme Lord God, repent of all your infidelity. Praise the Lord God again, praise His mercy and glory! Vizzilopochtli!"

"Praise the Lord God! Huizilopochtli is supreme and omnipotent!" Gu

Under the guidance of the priests, tens of thousands of people at the mouth of the river fell to their knees and shouted in unison. Many Prepechas burst into tears and confessed to the miracle above their heads. At this moment, they completely abandoned the belief in the Three Gods and converted to the Lord God with infinite power.

Thousands of Guachili warriors fell to the ground in awe, kowtows and prayed loudly. The wasteland tribes have always revered the divine world. Facing the flying fetish, they finally broke their defenses and planted the seeds of faith in the Lord God. These seeds will gradually grow, like entwined vines, firmly controlling people's hearts. With time, they will change from unruly tribal warriors to powerful God-saved warriors, just like the Otomi Legion in Hilotepec.

Shulot stood on the fortress, looking down at tens of thousands of people, with a passion in his chest. During the southern expedition, the rebellion in Kuramo City made him understand that the expansion of the kingdom is too fast, and there are hidden dangers in people's hearts. And the spread of the Lord God's belief is far from enough! Therefore, he created these epoch-making creations, strengthened the power of the Lord God, used unstoppable faith to unite the upper and lower, and to knead the various tribes of Central America!

"Grandfather, you will love these creations!"

Shilot looked up at the sky and looked at the huge "Heart of God" hot air balloon. The lifelike red heart swayed in the sky of one or two hundred meters, like a real beating heart of the gods. Then, he recalled the fireworks just now, the strange light of three colors intertwined like a feathered snake.

"Alyssa, you will like it too!"

The king smiled slightly. Then, his expression became more and more solemn, and he chanted solemnly at the end.

"God has come!! He came from the sky to pick up the souls of the dead! Warriors who died for God's battles, and faithful people. Pray sincerely!! All souls will fly to the high sky and go to To the red kingdom of God! There is eternal beauty and our future!  …”

During the king's singing, tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground and worshipped devoutly. The low prayers came together like the galloping herds of cattle in the wasteland, and like the rolling thunder in the spring rain. This voice contains the beliefs of tens of thousands of people, and it also carries infinite power, enough to reshape everything!

The long festival continued until dusk. When the ceremony was over, the expressions of most people changed significantly. Solemn group ceremonies combined with divine creations beyond comprehension are the best way to spread faith.

I don't know when, the red "Heart of God" has disappeared from the sky. The lift-off of the "Heart of the Gods" could only last for an hour or two, and then it was successfully recovered from the sky and fell into the fortress closely guarded by the Guards. After improving the internal structure of the hot air balloon, the liftoff this time was very smooth and there were no accidents.

Tens of thousands of people in Hekou County were reluctant to part. They headed towards the sky above the fortress, finally fell to the ground and prayed for a while, and then left one after another under the guidance of the village priest. Thousands of Guachili fighters returned to nearby barracks to be taught by war priests. Just witnessing the power of the Lord God is a good opportunity to preach.

Shirot stepped down from the fortress and came to the place where the hot air balloon landed. Dozens of priests of divine revelation are busy putting away the hot air balloons.

"Chimel, hot air balloon No. 2, how is the heart of the gods?"

"Respected suzerain, everything is going well!"

Chimel smiled confidently and nodded respectfully.

"The lift-off time is not long, the surface of the heart of the gods is not damaged, and it can be lifted up again at any time."

"very good!"

Shilot nodded in satisfaction.

"Wait until the capital city in the lake, when the grand ceremony is held, we will fly again!"

"Follow you, the suzerain of the gods!"

Chimer bowed his head in a salute. Then, he looked at the eastern sky, and the great capital city in the lake was five hundred miles away, waiting for the miracle to come!

After the sacrificial ceremony, Shulot will set off again. On the second day, he bid farewell to the monkey Kuluka and the black wolf Toltek in turn, and ordered some follow-up arrangements. Afterwards, the king led three thousand imperial guards to board the kingdom's navy. Under the **** of Crocodile Ospie, everyone went against the Leman River and headed for the capital city in the lake.

Forty bronze cannons were placed on several galley warships. The king personally rode a large galley warship and felt the sailing of the new warship. Surrounded by hundreds of canoes, the large galley warships stand out like turkeys among hares. Compared with canoes, galleys are more stable and comfortable, and faster against currents.

The huge fleet traveled along the big river for more than half a month. In mid-July, Shirot arrived in the western city-state of Trokham. He stayed for two days, gathering and feasting with the nobles who had been friends with the family for generations.

Compared with the expedition of Shulot to the west a few years ago, the atmosphere of this banquet was quite heavy. The nobles of the western city-state praised "His Royal Highness" and "Dear Prince", saluted and congratulated in turn, toasted and prayed, and sent many precious gifts. However, Shilot was keenly aware that the attitudes of most of the Western nobles were a lot more unfamiliar, and the respect they showed was mere formality. In addition to the young patriarch of the Mountain Family, Izel was an old acquaintance during the Western Expedition.

Everyone invited the female singer, drinking and laughing at the banquet, but refused to mention any topic about the alliance. The wine was half full, and a hereditary noble drank a little too much, and finally he couldn't control it. He slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, smashing the pottery glass with a bang. Then, he looked at Shilot and cursed angrily.

"Damn the holy city family! Considering the friendship of the generations, we made so much effort in the Western Expedition, sent troops and food to help you! However, what did these get in return!..."

"Shaopan! In front of His Highness, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The field fell silent for a moment. Iszel spoke out first and shouted angrily.

"Even the venerable Spring Rain Priest Family must not insult the Venerable!"

In the Nahua language, xonpan means green in the rainy season of late spring. This is a word with religious meaning, symbolizing the blessing of the goddess of spring~www.readwn.com~, and the family named after this is naturally an ancient priestly family related to the gods.

Shulot sank, lowered his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

He heard that when his father returned east, in the western city-state, he killed the former chief of the Shanshan family. This is by no means my father's way of doing things. However, the rumor spread so widely that it was even compiled into a poem praising the loyalty of the samurai, which was sung around the Alliance. The grandfather and father also never explained in the letter, and the story behind it is not difficult to guess.

He also knew about the Spring Rain Priest Family. The other party has served the goddess of lakes, rivers and spring for generations, and has held the power of sacrifice in Trokanbang for nearly half a century. However, with the deepening of the Reformation, the Lord God gradually became the only one. In the past two years, the status of the goddess of spring has been declining. The chief priests of the royal capital also dispatched the third-level chief priests directly to Trokhambang, depriving the Chunyu family of many privileges.

In other words, this is a traditional aristocracy whose interests have been damaged during the reform.

"Izel! You the king's wolfhound! Don't think everyone doesn't know how your father is... um, um!"

Shaopan blushed and roared angrily. The nobles in the field finally couldn't sit still, and immediately a few people stepped forward, covered his mouth, hands and feet, and forcibly dragged him down.

"Your Highness! Chunyu Patriarch Shaopan is drunk, I beg you, please don't punish me!"

"Exactly, exactly! When he wakes up, we'll blame him properly!"

"Please don't tell the honorable high priest! Although the Chunyu family is at fault, their sins will not die!"

Several aristocratic elders have been friends with the Holy City lineage for generations, and they stepped forward one after another to apologize to the king on behalf of the Spring Rain Patriarch.

Shirlot sullen, suppressing the anger in his chest. After a while, he nodded.

"Please sit down, elders, and let's continue drinking!"
