Aztec Eternals

Remember [] for a second,!

The boundless sea of ​​sand stretched into the distance, and brightly colored seabirds circled and sang loudly. The desert is always sparsely populated, with only a faint green. However, behind the desolation is the vitality hidden in the north, and the boundless land!

At this moment, Chihuaco is standing on the sand dunes, gazing at the new mountains and seas in the north. It is a desolate mountain and a desert sea. The memories of the past few months flooded into my mind one after another, which was very emotional.

In mid-December last year, the Kingdom's fleet officially set sail from the port of Tulsa. Along the coast, they sailed to the northwest of the world, full of unknown and apprehension. At that time, the first measurement by Mecate was at 18 degrees North Star.

At the end of December, the fleet arrived at the heart of the Nantec tribe, the village on the edge of the Fire River Plain, and met an envoy from Fire River City. The recorded position is about 19 degrees north star.

In early January this year, the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Leman River, the heart of the North Tecos tribe, the prosperous city of Three Rivers. There, they were attacked by rival Tekes clans, with a dozen casualties. It is close to the North Star at 21 degrees, and has traveled about 1,500 miles!

In late January, the fleet reached the mouth of the Totome River and encountered the first unknown tribe, the Totome people. The crowd resupplied in the fish mountain village of the Totomei people and heard about the Mayo people further north. As for the location of Yushan Village, it should be between 22-23 degrees of North Star.

In February, the fleet came to the mouth of the Mayo River and encountered a powerful seaside tribe, the Yorem tribe of the Mayo. Chihuako follows the traditional custom of dancing with the Karan chief of the Yorem tribe, wearing a deer head. Afterwards, the two talked happily, told each other's origins, reached a fair deal, and even exchanged young warriors.

In the Yorem Department, the fleet learned for the first time that the island where the flock of birds inhabited was on the northwest coast. They heard about the Yaqi of the coast to the north, the Opata of the mountains to the north, the Kochmi of the western peninsula, the Sri of the deserts of the far north, and of the deserts of the farther wild.

Everyone also saw the gold and copper mines that the Mayo people were rich in, and learned about the existence of the tribal flint field, that is, the coal mine. The location of Yorem is 25-26 degrees from the North Star, which is close to 3,000 miles from the mouth of the Tulsa River.

In mid-February, the fleet reached the estuary of the Yaqui River and encountered the more powerful Yaquiyome tribe. The Yomei Department not only produces copper and gold, but also has large open-pit coal mines with amazing reserves. Chihuaco got to know the other party's warrior leader, Shanying Weihuo, and went to the flint field of the Yomei Department to exchange some hard and good coal fairly.

The location of the Yomei Ministry is very critical, and it is the center of the trade of the surrounding ministries. The fleet met the merchants of the Opata people in the mountains, carrying copper weapons for trade, and also confirmed the rumors of the Opata copper mountains. The crowd also met the Makuwi tribesmen who came to trade from the edge of the eastern wasteland. From the mouths of these people, they also heard about the powerful Tara tribes in the eastern wasteland, and the fierce Apache alliance in the northern grasslands.

The azimuth of Yomeibu is about 27-28 degrees from the North Star.

At the end of February, the fleet was in Guayma, and they knew exactly the island of birds in the sea occupied by the Sri people, the huge and peculiar island of "Tah York".

In early March, the fleet arrived on the island of "Tah York" after a trek. There are many birds on the island, and the mountains are towering. Everyone went to the island to explore and dug some gray-white and yellow struvite stones, and soon they had a serious conflict with the hunting team of the Sri people!

After a short conflict, it was a larger-scale fight. When the fleet landed on Shanniao Island, it was like poking a hornet's nest of various ministries in Sri Lanka.

Thousands of Sri warriors traveled day and night from all over the desert to guard "Tahyoq". Everyone abandoned the island and landed, and they fought a sea battle with the Sri people, and they lost a dozen or twenty people. The Sri people suffered at least 100 casualties, and Picham, the chief of the lobster tribe, was captured.

That night, Chiwaco shook hands with Pickam to make peace. The two swore blood, and the blood blended, eliminating the hostility caused by the fight. From Picam's mouth, Chiwako knew that Shanniao Island was the sacred ancestral land of the Sri people and the habitat of spirit whales, and no outsiders were allowed to invade. And around Shanniao Island, there are many islands with struvite.

For the first time, the fleet knew that the sea area they were in was an extremely long and narrow bay. The long and narrow peninsula in the west isolates the rough sea. If you continue to sail northwest, you can reach the end of the bay, the edge of the northern continent!

As for the location of Shanniao Island, the North Star is 29 degrees up and down, more than 4,000 miles away from the initial departure.

Afterwards, the fleet found a large island with struvite, "Snake Bird Island", a hundred miles west of Shanniao Island. The crowd collected some struvite samples and set off towards the final goal.

Today, in mid-March, the fleet finally landed at the end of the bay, on the edge of the Sand Sea! This is the end of the kingdom's first voyage, and the beginning of the endless northern continent!

Here is the North Star at 31-32 degrees, which is five thousand miles away from the Tulsa estuary where the sailing begins!

From here to the northeast, there are the Apache Alliance of the safari grassland; to the north, the desert people entrenched in the sand sea; to the northwest, the Kumeya people occupying the salt lake. And behind these tribes, there is an endless vast land, such as the uncountable northern tribes like river sand!

"Five thousand miles, but the end of the world is not in sight... It's really a vast world, it's a boundless world!... It's a blind god!!..."

After a long time, Chiwako woke up from the long memory and couldn't help but shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, he looked at the vast desert and hills in the north, and pure curiosity appeared in his eyes, like a pure child. At this moment, under the vast sea and sky, he forgot everything he had undertaken. He just had a question in his mind that he had never thought of before.

"So, how big is this world?"

The old militia had no answer. He wanted to know the answer, but he didn't really want to look for it. His heart is too small to hold such a vast world, only a small home. He has a big heart and is tough enough to endure the difficulties of exploring and searching in the vast world.

After thinking for a moment, Chiwako finally put away all his thoughts. At this moment, after completing His Majesty's task, a strong desire to go home has surfaced in his heart. And the love for his daughter and his family is like a raging tide, completely drowning him!

"Well, dig some sand here, go back and bring it to Your Majesty! ... You also keep some for yourself, it's a bit of a thought."

Chiwako ordered a few words in a deep voice. Everyone took some sand and put it in a cotton bag with them.

The Sri people had already left, but two tribe scouts were left to observe the actions of the big boat tribe. When they saw this scene, they were a little puzzled and a little laughed.

"Haven't these tribes in big boats ever seen sand? This endless sea of ​​sand has to run for a whole month! And sand is the most abundant thing in the world..."

"Shh! They dug up the sand and seemed to be leaving."

"It's gone? Where to go?"

"It seems to be the southwest. On the other side of the bay, that is the territory of the Kochmi people, and it has nothing to do with us Konkaks."

"Oh, let's go! Let's go too!"

"No! They didn't take the deer, we've got to take the deer... it's going to eat for days!"

"Ah? They didn't take the deer?! What a stupid tribe! We have to hurry, the desert people might come back!"

"it is good!"

Soon, the two Sri scouts were carrying wild deer and stood on the sand dunes, staring blankly at the big ship that didn't stop and quickly went away.

Chiwaco stood in the stern, wearing a worn eagle crest, looking north. The vast sea of ​​sand for thousands of miles drifted farther and farther behind; the vast northern continent was still in the unknown thick fog. It's just that the entire kingdom fleet has reached the limit of exploration, and there is no more strength to explore the unknown in the north.

Along the way, the exploration fleet was attacked several times. In addition to the losses along the way, the crew actually suffered heavy casualties! When they went out to sea, there were more than 100 warriors and sailors of the kingdom. At this moment, they lost almost 30%.

The gaps of many sailors were filled by tribesmen recruited along the way. The casualties of the kingdom's warriors were irreparable. And the morale of the fleet has dropped, even the devout faith and the divinely inspired Wang Ling can no longer maintain it! ...

"It's time, it's time to go home! It's far enough to explain to Your Majesty. And there are still five thousand miles to go home!"

Looking into the distance for a moment, the old militiaman Chiwako turned around. He looked at the vast southern sea and sky and shouted to everyone.

"Praise the Lord God! May He bless us~www.readwn.com~ through the long waves!"

"Praise the Lord God! Let us cross the waves!"

The sailors and the warriors shouted in unison, cheering loudly, looking eager and excited.

"The ancestors will also protect us and return to the hometown of the kingdom!"

"Blessed by the ancestors, go back to your hometown!"

"Let's go, let's go home!"

"go home!!"

The blazing cry spreads in the sea and sky in the north, with a burning will. The mighty long wind, coming from the mountains in the north, also took away the cry in the wind. This long wind blows all the way to the south, blowing through the desolate deserts and over the steep mountains; it climbs the rolling plateaus, along the living rivers, and continues to swing eastward...

Finally, it stopped by the river more than 6,000 miles away and came to the battlefield of brutal killing. And the real flame is burning in a dangerous city-state in the mountains, and the whole sky is red!
