Aztec Eternals

The mountains undulating in the east, extending to the sea in the west, turned into gradually gentle hills. The meandering Yaki River comes from the mountains, with turbulent currents, washing out large fertile fields. Between the fields and the hills, there are many gray-brown hills, densely covered in the yellow-green land, silently telling the story of life from ancient times.

The old militiaman Chihuaco climbed a hill, bent down, and picked up a taupe stone. He squeezed it hard, and the hard gray stone diaphragm was neither deformed nor broken.

"Huh? The flint of your Yomei department seems to be much harder than that of the Yorem department?"

"Haha! How can a foreigner, the flint from the Yorem Department be compared with our Yomei Department?"

Hearing this, Shan Ying Weihuo burst into laughter and declared proudly.

"We Yaqi people are the people who live under the mountain of God! Our flint can burn for a long time, far better than all the tribes! The reason for this is that the ancestors of our Yaqi people have the most powerful soul and always protect them. The tribe!"

"Uh... that's right."

Chiwako scratched his head, always feeling that this logic was a bit wrong, and couldn't explain why. He didn't understand the difference between bituminous coal and lignite. Not to mention, the flint field here is a source of high-quality bituminous coal, and even has an astonishing amount of anthracite... The old militia just nodded again and again, following Shanying Weihuo's words, the old face smiled and turned into a flower.

"Friend, good, good wow! Yomeibu, powerful, big tribe!"

"Haha, that's natural! Our Yomei tribe, with three thousand warriors, is the most powerful tribe in this area!"

Wei Huo nodded in satisfaction and stretched out his arm to gesture. From the field in front of him, he has been pointing to the east hill.

"From here to there, the distance a person runs for a day is our flint field! Further east, there is a larger flint field. The two best and largest flint fields are our Yomei Department. of!"

"Three thousand warriors? The most powerful?"

Two steps away, Puapu raised his brows when he heard this, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. He once held the Qin Congcan warrior camp, and he had 2,000 elite warriors in the royal capital, enough to defeat the so-called Yomei tribe! Only now... The Ash Warrior sighed, his eyes flickered, and he heard the next sentence, his face showing surprise.

"What, we have to run for a day! There are actually two places in such a large open-pit coal mine!"

In front of everyone, the gray-brown hills were scattered everywhere, and there was no end in sight for dozens of miles. The coal mines stored here are many times more than the kingdom's Chingambat mining area, and I am afraid that the kingdom can burn for hundreds of years. And the coal produced here is far harder than the coal in the kingdom.

"Hard coal is good coal! The higher the hardness, the better the firepower, because it contains a lot of divine power! There are two large coal mines, a large copper mine, and several scattered small gold mines... This piece of northwest coast The land is really a rich land rich in ore!"

Puapu lowered his eyes, hiding the joy in his eyes.

The fleet has stayed in the Yomei tribe for two days. Although they have not been received by the chief, they also went to the local tribal market to trade with the surrounding tribes. The Yome tribe was a large, settled tribe who cultivated the fertile land along the Yaki River and fished near the sea and at the estuary.

When food is plentiful, the tribe will divide its people to dig nearby minerals for daily use by the tribe, and even trade with various ministries. They produced the most flint, followed by chalcolith, and finally some gold.

The Yomei Department is strong enough and has convenient transportation, and it is the trading center of each department. In addition to the Mayo, the warriors of the kingdom met the Opata in the mountains and the Macurawe on the edge of the wasteland at the fairs of the Yomei.

The Opata people live in the northernmost valley of the Aqui River. As long as they take a canoe and go down the Aqui River, they can easily trade with the Yomei tribe. In fact, the location of Shenshan Mountain in the northwest is about between the Opata people and the Yomei tribe, and forms a vast coal-producing belt. In the east of the coal-producing belt, there are a large number of copper mines, and the copper content is surprisingly high. The techniques of copper smelting of various ministries were learned from the hands of the Opata people.

From the mouths of Opata merchants, everyone also learned about a dozen powerful tribes further north, collectively known as the Apache (apache), and the desert northwest called Tohonoo Odham (tohonoo?odham) people. Most of these two groups are hunting and hunting, chasing the migration of beasts, and are extremely good at fighting.

The powerful Apache tribes are used to fighting, and the land area they control is very wide. They are in direct contact with the Opata Alliance in the mountains, and skirmishes are constantly taking place. The reason why the Opata people forged the original copper weapons is to fight against several southern tribes of the Apache people.

The Makuwi are half safaris and half migratory, living in the east of the Yomei tribe. Their tribe is not strong, and the land is rich in gold. It's just that there are too many gold mines in this piece, and no one cares about these useless gold stones. The tribe with the most gold is actually in the east of the Makuwi. There are a large number of tarahumaras, who are like the eight tribes of canine origin, and who do not hunt indefinitely.

The land area of ​​the Tara people is also not small, hundreds of miles upstream of the Mayo River, occupying the northwest of the Zacatecas wasteland. In fact, they were not far from the Jorem, but were blocked by the towering Sierra Madre, making any large-scale military action impossible. Their lands were not only rich in gold, but also more silver.

Puapu doubted in his heart that the silver of the Yorem tribe might have come from the trade of the Tara people.

"These messy tribes, each with a mouthful of names, is really annoying!"

The Ash Warrior murmured in his heart. Along the way, he tried to memorize these names and simply classified them.

The northwest coastal departments, from south to north, are the Totome, Mayo, and Yaqui. All three live in seaside estuaries, settle for planting, and hunt marine fish, and their populations are also relatively large. And further northwest from the coast, as the rainfall becomes more and more scarce, behind it are the Sri people who have not yet contacted, the semi-nomadic people, and the desert people who are completely hunting.

"Well, this is the five coastal books. The east is the border of the wasteland, and there are two similar to the canine."

Puap pondered in his heart and glanced at the mountains in the east. He had worked with the Guaquili Corps and was impressed with the stoicism of the Canines.

"I heard that Tara people are better at running, and can chase wild turkeys, exhausting each other to death! It sounds like wild wolves!"

On the border of the eastern wasteland, there are two tribes, the Makuwi and the Tara, both resembling canines, roaming the arid wasteland. They sometimes farm, sometimes hunt, live in no fixed place, migrate all year round, and kill each other. Relatively speaking, the Makuwi are located on the edge of the wasteland and have a higher degree of settlement, and will send tribesmen to trade here.

"Finally, there are the two northern ones, the Opatas and the Apaches. One seems to be more organized, and the other should be better at fighting!"

In the northern mountains are the Opata people who established a small city-state and initially formed an alliance. Their metal craftsmanship has already taken shape, and both cotton and copper wares are prosperous, and they can send caravans to trade with the surrounding ministries. Further north is the rumored fierce hunting tribe, what are they called the Apaches. It is said that the name came from the Pueblo people further north. In their Zuni language, the name means "enemy". And the Opata people recognized the name and regarded the Apaches as enemies.

"What a vast Northland!"

Puap took a long breath and sighed in his heart. If he didn't come out for such a trip, he could never imagine that the sea is so mighty, the north is so vast, and there are so many ethnic groups in the world! .... After thinking for a moment, he turned his ears to the side again, listening to the conversation between Old Man Qi and Shan Ying.

"Ah! My friend, five spears for a basket of flints, or two pieces of cloth? This price is no good, it's too high!"

Chiwaco looked embarrassed. There is so much coal here that it costs almost nothing to dig up, yet the other party charges so much. What's more, coal is still a consumable that goes away once burned.

"Ha! Foreigners, this is the flint left by the ancestors of our Yaki people! Although there are many of them, they are gifts left by the ancestors, and they contain the power of the mountain. How can they be easily exchanged? The tribe ~www.readwn.com~ trades flint with foreigners, this is the way to change!"

Shanying Weihuo's eyes flickered, thinking mentally. He looked at the spear in Chiwako's hand and said with a smile.

"The Opatas will also sell us similar spears, made of red copper, and five flints in a basket! Actually, we are not short of weapons. The Yomei is the most powerful, and there is nothing nearby that can threaten us. Tribe. We don’t look down on gold, stone and silver stones. They are all useless and common stones. It’s your cotton cloth that the tribe likes very much. If the quantity is large, it can be cheaper for you in exchange!”

"Ah! Ours, the spears, are not the same as those of the Opatas. Strong and sharp!"

Chiwako explained, and seeing Shan Ying's unmoved expression, he didn't say any more. There wasn't a lot of cotton cloth on the boat, but it was always necessary to change a few more baskets of flint and return it to His Majesty... He hesitated for a while, and finally asked again with a bit of caution.

"Friend, we come from a distant rich lake. The tribes in the lake produce lake gems, green, red, blue, and yellow! Gems, uh, either?"
