Aztec Eternals

Remember [] for a second,!

In mid-December, the formation of the exploration fleet was completed. The crowd set out from the mouth of the Tulsa River, along the southeast coast, all the way to the northwest. They passed the coastal villages of the southern Tekes, stopping twice for supplies.

This is the border of the Fire River Plain, only one hundred and twenty miles away from the Fire River City. When the messenger of Fire River City heard the news, he came day and night to inquire about the purpose of the fleet. Chiwako simply responded, saying that he went out to sea to find a holy place for seabirds, and left under the uneasy gaze of the messenger.

The fleet then continued northward. At the end of the year, cold winds are coming from the northern continent. The sailing along the way is almost difficult to use the wind, only relying on the paddle. Everyone is rowing a big sailboat. In order to save their physical strength, they can only row for 8 hours a day and travel about 120-140 miles. Including the time for rest and supplies, it was not until the beginning of January that the fleet traveled 1,400 miles to reach the estuary of the Leman River.

The Leman River surged down, and at the mouth of the big river, it impacted a vast plain along the river. The soil and water here are extremely fertile, and the population and villages are quite prosperous. There is a small town of Tecos near the sea, which is called Sanhe City by the locals.

Because from south to north, there are a total of three rivers, dividing the rich plains along the river. The small city surrounded by three rivers is naturally called Sanhe City.

The fleet moored in the prosperous Sanhe City for two days, traded gems and cloth, replenished some food, and recruited an enthusiastic Tecos guide.

After everyone's supplies were completed, they continued to go out to sea soon when they encountered a sudden gust of wind and big waves. The low galley was instantly pierced by the waves, undulating in the sea, as if it were about to fall. The first time the old militia encountered such a storm, he was so frightened that he went out of his body and hurriedly brought everyone to the shore.

On the day of landing, the newly recruited Turks guide disappeared. The old militiaman searched for a long time, but could not find any traces, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart. Everyone camped on the high ground near the coast and rested for two days. The wind became slightly weaker and the waves were slightly gentler.

At noon on the third day, the old militia became more and more uneasy. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that if he went to Sanhe City from here, it would be about three days!

"All on board! All on board! Push the boat back into the sea, and put everything back on the boat!"

Ash Earth Puap was a little puzzled, but looking at the anxious old militiaman, he still chose to obey.

"After all, Lao Qitou can't do anything else. If he encounters danger, he will escape faster than anyone else! ... According to His Majesty's words, that is to be favored by an unpredictable fate."

Sure enough, in the evening, the disappearing Texian guide appeared again, with three or four hundred warriors of the Texos tribe. The warriors carry spears in each hand, throw javelins on their backs, and even carry rare hunting bows. When they saw the fleet, they held up their javelins, took out their bows and arrows, and rushed towards them with a mad roar.

"Feathered warriors of Tarasco! Where to escape? Leave your heads!"

"Damn condor tribe! They even stretched out the hands of the demons here, and they must be cut off!"

"Yes! And gems, gems! Leave the gems on their ships, it's the chief's order!  …"

Chiwako looked at the sudden appearance of the enemy, inexplicably horrified. He immediately gave up the remaining fresh water on the shore, and took everyone back to the boat. Then he asked Puap, who knew the language of the Turks, to shout with his shield up.

"The warriors of the nearby Tecos tribe, we have no hostility... This is a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are not feathered warriors, nor are we from the Condor tribe... We are from the Lake Tribe, from the Mexica Confederation! "

Hundreds of enemies swarmed the shore, grim expressions, trudging through the water, pressing on the three moored galleys. Their number is three or four times that of the expedition fleet. Some warriors threw javelins at the sailboats, and some warriors took out hunting bows and shot arrows at Chihuaco's position.

The "whoosh" rain of arrows and javelins wounded three or four sailors in an instant. The Prepecha warriors accompanying the ship also took out their big bows and began to fight back decisively.

Seeing the enemy shouting and fighting, Chiwako finally understood that all negotiations were in vain. And the real purpose of this group of enemies is probably the property and gems on the ship. The old militiaman looked at the waves on the sea, still undulating, and looked at the frantically rushing enemies. He had no choice but to give orders loudly.

"Set sail! Paddle with all your might, heading northwest!"

The kingdom's expedition fleet braved the waves, along the coast, and headed northwest at full speed. The Turks warriors chased the shore for a full day before they let out a furious howl and were completely thrown away by the fleet.

With this encounter, Chihuako no longer dared to rashly supply supplies to the northern Tekes tribe. If there is a real shortage of food, go to small villages and tribes, and leave after a quick trade.

Even so, they were attacked once by the Turks. The elders of the villages on the shore are friendly on the surface, procrastinating, and trading with everyone, but they contact the nearby villages behind their backs. More than two dozen canoe raids were organized not only on the shore.

Seeing that the time had passed for the transaction, Chiwaco decisively took the crowd away. Everyone got on the boat, avoided the Tex warriors on the shore, and killed the Texans on the waterway. The Turks left more than ten boats, fifty or sixty corpses, and the expedition fleet also lost a dozen people.

The expedition fleet set off from Sanhe City, against the north wind, stopped from time to time to avoid the wind and waves, and beware of the attack of the Turks. It took more than half a month to travel a thousand miles to the mouth of a big river. The east here is full of towering mountains, and only the seaside plains are suitable for farming. The clear river flows from the desolate distant mountains, bringing green life along the way.

Local tribes call themselves the Totorames, the Totorames. They were small in population and lived along the coast, growing corn, beans, and peppers, catching fish, clams, and oysters, and making sea salt. At the seaside at the estuary, they built a large village called Yushan Village.

Chiwako moored at Yushan Village for two days, sent some cloth, a few gems, corn, kidney beans, salted fish and water to the Totome people. The Totome people live in a narrow area by the sea, and they have little food, but plenty of salt. Their language is similar to that of the Guaquili, and also somewhat like the Union's Mexica. It seems that the tribes in the entire Northwest Wasteland have a similar language.

The old militiamen asked about the situation in the northwest, and the elders of the Totome told him.

"Further northwest, rowing for many, many days, is the land of the Mayo! There are many Mayo, some powerful tribes, and hundreds of warriors! My friends, they know a lot and can definitely help to you!"

In late January, the Kingdom's expedition fleet was guided and set off again. The expedition fleet's experience has grown over the months of sailing. Everyone has the experience of inland waterways. After getting used to the offshore situation, the supply of drinking water becomes more and more orderly, and it is not wrong to deal with the occasional wind and waves.

In fact, this large offshore area is shaded by a narrow peninsula extending from the lower California region, and the wind and waves are not too great, far less than the real ocean.

When night comes, Mekkat, the priest of the ship, will use a strange compass before him to measure the angle of the bright North Star and the sea. It is said that this is a divine creation that was instructed by His Majesty himself and left to the shipbuilder. As the fleet continued to move north, the angle measured by the compasses became larger and larger. At first it was only a dozen or so degrees, but now it is more than twenty degrees.

In addition to this, Mecate also has the magic of pointing the way. He used a thin thread and hung a special thin needle to indicate the direction. The fine needles come from Heiyan Mountain, which is obtained by grinding the divine stone. As long as the thin needle is suspended, it will magically rotate in the air, and then point to the north and south.

Chiwako sighed after seeing it. He thought hard, but he couldn't understand the reason, so he could only praise the Lord God.

In February, the expedition fleet finally traveled another seven or eight hundred miles to the mouth of the river, where they encountered a large tribe of the Mayo people, the Yorem tribe with thousands of mouths. The kingdom's expedition fleet docked at the mouth of the river and gave the Yorem tribe a large bag of cocoa, ten rolls of cloth, and a small bag of lake gems.

The Karan chief of the Yorem tribe received the gift and led hundreds of guard soldiers to the sea in person. He was shocked when he saw the huge galleys by the sea, the sturdy leather armor of the warriors in the lake, and the weapons of strange metal. Afterwards, he lit a bonfire and graciously invited the leaders of the messengers in the lake to hold a gathering of ancestors' testimony.

Chivako pondered for a long time, observed the relaxed and curious expression of the warrior on the other side, and then led everyone off the boat. In this distant place two or three thousand miles away from the Kingdom of the Lake, representing the Kingdom of the Lake in the south, I met the leader of a large tribe for the first time!

Difficult memories of the past few months flashed through the old militia's mind one by one. At this festive moment, a smile appeared on his face, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were relieved a lot. He looked at the deer-headed Chief Karan, raised the gourd bell in his hand, and touched the other side heavily, making a pleasant "ding bell"!

Then, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"Frog, Chief. We, friends! We, brothers! I, Great Chief, let me, go find seabirds. Seabirds, can fly, have feathers, many seabirds~www.readwn.com~ in the northwest, small Island, where?"

"Huh? You're looking for... a small northwest island with lots of seabirds?"

Chief Karan froze in place, his eyes flashing, and he pondered the question of the leader on the opposite side.

After some contact, he was convinced that this group of elite warriors really came from afar, did not belong to any large tribe nearby, and did not have any hostility. And now it seems that they were sent by the great chief of the tribe in the lake to find beautiful seabirds and feathers.

The tribe in the lake could not care about the lives of a hundred elite warriors and travel such a long distance just to find seabirds. There are only two possibilities...

"Either they are powerful, like us Mayo, there are thousands or even thousands of warriors! Or in their religion, the feathers of seabirds are a very important tribute, and the islands of seabirds are holy places of faith. And Look at the sturdy ships they ride, and the bright feather crests on their heads, I'm afraid it's both!...And a powerful and pious tribe from afar..."

Chief Karan thought for a long time, with a kind smile on his face, and some thoughts flashed in his heart. Then, he looked in the northwest direction, nodded slowly, and definitely opened his mouth.

"Ahaha, my friend! I know what the Chief of the Lake is looking for!"
