Chapter 1121 Drinking in the Night Sea, the Situation of the Kingdom in the Lake

"Praise the Lord God! Chief Priest Mickey, this is the chief priest's crown, vestment and scepter given to you by His Majesty... Congratulations! From today on, you are the fourth-level chief priest of the kingdom, in charge of all dioceses on the west coast and the far north coast... You are also the first priest among the priests who graduated from Shenwei University to be promoted to the fourth level!…”

"Praise the Lord God! Praise His Majesty! Thank you too, Priest Chimel...I will do my best to spread the glory of the Lord God, work hard to open up the northern continent, and open up the trade routes for the West Sea tribes for Your Majesty!..."

Zheyang's ship docked at the coast, and its heavy anchor had already been lowered. Twelve kingdom priests came from the long boat to witness this simple canonization.

Mikey the Knowledgeable wore a heavy, long-topped feather crown, dark animal-patterned sacrificial clothing, and held a short turquoise scepter in his hand. Wearing this set of chief priest's attire, his weather-beaten face suddenly seemed to have bloomed with plum blossoms of winter snow, making him look much younger. That happy and exciting smile was not ostentatious, but it seemed to be more arrogant, and there was an indescribable kind of high self-confidence.

Seeing the change in Mickey's demeanor, Priest Chimel smiled and felt quite understandable. This is the power of power, like the spring breeze that makes dead trees sprout, making people look brand new from head to toe. From the Kingdom to the Alliance, he has seen too much with His Majesty.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Chief Priest Zuvalo risked his own life for the glory of the Lord God and crossed the waves to the Western Sea... The development of the kingdom in the northern continent will be fully entrusted to you, respected Chief Priest Mickey!... I brought this time The support fleet will also be arranged by you!"

"Praise the Lord God! Dear Priest Chimel, you led the third batch of support fleets all the way north to Whale Harbor...Is the journey going smoothly?..."

“In this journey of thousands of miles, I have indeed encountered a lot, and I can’t finish them all in one moment…”

Priest Chimel raised his head and looked at the setting sun and the golden red floating on the sea. He thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"The Lord God guides us to meet here... Chief Priest Mickey, I have tequila on my boat that I brought when I set off from the kingdom... Why don't we set up a bonfire on the shore, drink wine, eat meat, and have a good chat? Last night?"

"Okay! Chief Priest Chimel, there happen to be two jars of rice wine from the West Sea tribe on the ship. It is rich and mellow, and the taste is very different from the kingdom's wine. Please give it a try!..."

The golden sun sinks into the sea of ​​blood, and darkness drifts from the sky. The setting sun in the west faces the full moon in the east, and Mickey in the north faces Chimel in the south. In the bonfire in front of the two of them, the roasted whale meat was coated with whale oil, the fragrant rice wine was accompanied by tequila, and a can of stewed vegetable fish soup was the best dinner in the northern continent.

"Chief Priest Mikey, this is roughly the situation... In March of this year, I took the kingdom's twelve longships and more than 800 warrior sailors and set sail from Trout Town. I was accompanied by nearly 300 catamarans. The war boat carried more than a thousand exiled Cloud Snake tribesmen and more than a thousand pioneer warriors of Chief Appa..."

"Three thousand naval forces marched northward, stopping and stopping along the way. The tribes of Colima along the coast were very friendly and respectfully provided supplies. In mid-April, the fleet arrived in the Three Rivers area where the tribes of Northern Tekos were located. We recruited the accompanying Cloud Snake tribe, cooperated with the three thousand pioneer warriors of the Monkey Chief, and raided the city of Trois-Rivières... In those days of brutal fighting, the corpses of five thousand Tekos warriors were scattered all over the place, and the entire Leman River flooded. Bleeding red! And tens of thousands of Tekos tribesmen knelt down and surrendered, and were converted by the blood oath, and their cut hair burned with black smoke..."

"What?! Chief Apa and Chief Monkey sent out troops at the same time? The kingdom has captured Trois-Rivières at the mouth of the Leman River?..."

Hearing this, Mikey the Knowledgeable looked surprised. Trois-Rivières is located at the mouth of the Leman River, on a fertile plain where the three rivers meet. It is more than a thousand miles away from the mouth of the Tulsas River where Trout Town is located. This important town in the West Sea is the largest city-state among the Tekos tribes in the north. There are at least 50,000 to 60,000 Tekos tribesmen surrounding it!

And now, this important town falls into the hands of the kingdom, which means that the kingdom's sea port on the West Sea has extended to the north for more than a thousand miles! And the route to the northern continent has been connected since then, and there is no longer a powerful tribe in the middle to hinder it...

"That's right! Chief Apa and Chief Monkey followed His Majesty's will and joined forces to attack the Tekos tribes in the north... The two chiefs agreed that the coastline from the entrance of the Leman River to Zongshi Town would be included in Dahu County. The coastline south from Zongshi Town is classified as Apa County. The scope of Apa County extends from the Colima Volcano to the north for 150 miles, taking in the mountains on the south side of Chapala Lake... The two counties are roughly bounded by the town of Zangshi-Colima Volcano-the mountains on the south side of the Great Lakes, that is, the Colima tribes, and divide the Tekos tribes..."

"Ah? Using the tribes of Colima as the boundary to divide the two counties?... On such a major matter, will the two army commanders report back to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty decide?..."

"Well, of course I reported back to His Majesty. However, Chief Priest Mickey, you have been exploring for three years, and you probably don't know much about the situation of the Alliance and the Kingdom..."

Having said this, Priest Chimel smiled bitterly and looked a little solemn.

"Your Majesty has conquered the Totonac tribes in the seaside land and integrated the seaside alliance of millions of tribes...and King Avit of the Mexica Alliance urgently recalled your Majesty... Your Majesty has made a decision to return to the capital in the lake... By now, His Majesty should have returned to the capital in the lake for a long time..."

"Before leaving, His Majesty has already ennobled the commanders of the kingdom's legions, becoming the 'chiefs' who control all military affairs and make independent decisions on expeditions. They are also known as the 'jiedushi' who controls one side and regulates the legions. Whether it is Ah Whether Chief Pa or Chief Monkey, both have the power to divide counties and conquer tribes!…”

"What!...Your Majesty delegated power to the commanders of each legion, and took the Alliance King as a hostage?!...How...how could this happen?...Your Majesty, Your Majesty is confused!..."

Hearing such shocking news, Mickey the Knowledgeable was so stunned that he couldn't even hold the wine can in his hand. He has experienced so many things in the world and has a deep understanding of the game of power. And the power struggle hidden in these two short sentences was enough to shake his mind and keep him awake all night...

"Your Majesty is not confused, he is just too soft-hearted... He couldn't bear to see the world become a river of blood, and he didn't want a cruel civil war and fighting, so he delegated power and chose to give in temporarily... Alas!..."

The two priests of the kingdom sat opposite each other and remained silent. The summer evening breeze was warm, but their serious expressions seemed as chilling as in the cold autumn.

Mikey the Knowledgeable pursed his lips and drank a glass of tequila from his highland hometown. The bitter and salty wine echoed between his lips and teeth, as if it brought the bitterness into his heart.

Chief Priest Chimel raised the clay pot and drank a glass of rice wine from the distant Western Sea. This fragrant rice wine from afar is much more intoxicating than the bland water wine from the homeland.

"Phew! I don't know how such a strong wine is brewed? Your Majesty is trapped in the capital city in the lake. If you can taste the rice wine from the West Sea, I'm afraid you will also be happy!..."

"Dear Priest Chimel, for the sake of the world, Your Majesty will go to the capital city in the lake..."

After a long moment of silence, Mickey the Knowledgeable looked into Chimel's eyes with worry and asked in a low voice.

"Who is in charge of the kingdom now? What are the plans for the exploration and development of the northern continent?..."

"Haha! Mickey, you and I are both from Shenwei University, and now we are on the same boat... It would be better to call them by their first names, which would be more cordial..."

"Okay! Chimel..."

"Lord God bless you! Before I went to sea, in the center of the kingdom, Chief Minister Jatiri was in charge of political and educational affairs, Director of Divine Enlightenment Talea was in charge of the armament workshop, and Commander of the Gyeonggi Corps Orosh was in charge of Gyeonggi military affairs... As for the kingdom, The commanders of each legion will control a county, and they will conquer independently if they don't obey..."

Chief Priest Chimel smiled and talked about the situation in the kingdom with a leisurely expression.

"According to your majesty's wishes, the kingdom has established four Jiedu, namely Zicao, Dahu, Apa, and Qingqiu, to attack the Yunzhong tribes in the southeast, the Tekos tribes in the northwest, the Tekos tribes in the southwest, and the Wasteland tribes... four of them. Jiedu aggressively expanded the legions and recruited flag troops, and they have already embarked on the journey of expansion..."

"Kuluka, the chief of the Great Lakes Festival and the Monkey God, is the most adept at fighting. He has already flown down the Chapala Lake. With the advantage of the rapid progress of the navy, he has captured the Leman River! But the Feather Prince escaped and continued He took thousands of tribes and hid in the mountains at the junction of the northwest and the wilderness...Now, the tribes of Northern Tekos are separated for hundreds of miles on both sides of the long river, unable to rescue each other, and they will eventually be defeated one by one!..."

"Mickey, when you return to the kingdom, you might be able to meet the great monkey chief who conquered various tribes near the mouth of the Leman River. It would be best to meet him once!... The future development and exploration of the Northland , I’m afraid the support of the Monkey Chief is indispensable..."

"Um…"

Mickey the Knowledgeable sniffed his nose and seemed to smell the strong smell of blood. He took a few sips of water and wine from his hometown, and sighed softly as he recalled the lake kingdom that was based on farming and warfare.

"Chimel, I understand... When your Majesty goes to the royal capital, the deployment of manpower in each county will naturally depend on the chiefs in charge... The development of the northern continent will require the full support of each county as before... It’s definitely not that easy!…”

"Yes! Mickey, this is exactly what I want to say... His Majesty has always spared no effort in material and manpower in exploring the north, mobilizing a large amount of supplies, dispatching many priests, and selecting the most devout warriors... Such a huge investment has brought The returns are pitifully small. Except for the struvite stones excavated, almost all of them are loss-making transactions..."

"The powerful nobles in each county actually have some complaints, but they are just obeying the majesty of His Majesty's divine revelation... Now that Your Majesty is going to the capital city in the lake, the kingdom's support for the expansion of the north will inevitably gradually decline... If there is no sufficient return, Maybe even..."

Priest Chimel paused and shook his head gently. But soon, he smiled again and asked expectantly.

"Fortunately, with the blessing of the Lord God! Chief Priest Zuvalo finally arrived at the divinely inspired West Sea Continent and met the West Sea tribe... Once this route is opened, it will not only be of great benefit to the kingdom, but also have a real foothold for northern colonization, which can Bring back enough rewards!… And we, the priests of the Navigation Department of Shenwei University, also have a more stable and broad prospect…”

"Praise the Lord God! Mickey, you have returned with the ships of the West Sea Tribe... How big is the West Sea continent revealed by God? How many tribes are there? What does it look like? Is it similar to what His Majesty predicted?..."
