Chapter 1357: Open the Route to Cuba, Khorne Black Wolf!
The waves are rolling across the long Gulf of Mexico. It is exactly four thousand miles of the lower semicircle from the mouth of the Heron River in the far west, flowing through the Huastec, Totonac, Sauk Marina, central Maya, to the easternmost point of the Yucatan Lowland Maya. And further east, across the strait of five to six hundred miles, is the hot land of Cuba!
At the beginning of December, when the main force of the Totonac coastal fleet set sail from the mouth of the Heron River with the second batch of two thousand barbarians, a partial navy division for logistics transportation also passed through for a full month. After many months of sailing, we just docked at Port Ecab, the easternmost port of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The Port of Ekab, which used to be prosperous with merchant ships, is now desolate and deserted. The Moon Mother flag of the Maya Isi clan disappeared and was replaced by the hummingbird main god flag of the kingdom. Inside and outside the port, there are guarding kingdom warriors everywhere, and there are traces of fighting with swords, axes, and smoke. And those dark red bloodstains and pits in the forest that still remain indicate the brutal battle more than a month ago, and the great conversion of the city-state in which the descendants of the gods were sacrificed to blood! …
Yes, during the autumn harvest season just over a month ago, with the help of the Yan Island merchant fleet, the Black Wolf Toltec personally commanded two thousand warriors of the kingdom and attacked the Ekab Port of the 20,000 tribes in one fell swoop. The Yixi clan, which was not on guard, was almost uprooted by the entire clan in an unprepared sneak attack!
The black wolf Toltec showed no mercy, swung down the big sword in his hand, and sacrificed all the captured descendants of the Mayan Moon Goddess in front of the holy fire, and forced the captured Ixi clan warriors to do so. . And Shirahoshi Ishi, the descendant of the god, who once spoke nonsense and insulted the main god and the Mayapan royal family in the Mayan tribe meeting in Kapok City, had his head cut off by the black wolf with a sword, and his head was made into a skull wine cup.
The storm in Mexico roared, and a clan of Mayan gods that had been inherited for 500 years was suddenly wiped out! Only a few surviving gods were left, and they fled into the vast southern jungle. Their lives and deaths were unknown, and they went to join the Kapur clan inland.
At the same time, a similar story also happened among the Yandao tribes, another core clan of the Ekabu chiefdom. The divine prince Yanhu rebelled with his troops. With the support of more than a thousand warriors from the kingdom, he invaded the city-state of Yandao and personally sent his father Yanhai on his way. Then, he replaced his father's name and became the new generation of Yanhai Chief! The first thing he did after taking over was to declare his conversion to the Supreme God, join the Mayapan royal family's Restoration Alliance, and actually surrender to the kingdom!
"Witness the Lord God! These newly converted Mayan warriors are still a bit unusable. Without the support of the kingdom, this useless boy Yanhu can't even hold the position of clan chief, let alone destroy the Tulum Temple. The priest group here! This guy is good at conspiracy, but when it comes to fighting, he really has no talent and can’t hold up a wall..."
The black wolf Toltec carried the Eight-faced Qin Sword on his shoulder, held the skull wine glass in his hand, and drank the fruit wine with an expressionless face. He had just received news from the south. Yanhu...oh no, the new chief of Yanhai praised the bravery of the kingdom's "Lord God's Heavenly Soldiers"! Next, there was a request for troops from the new chief of Yan Island, hoping to get more support from the kingdom, preferably one or two thousand warriors from the kingdom, to completely clear out the city of Tulum on the southernmost side of the Ekabu chiefdom ( Tulum), and the city of Coba inland.
"Right now, Ekabu Port and Shahu Town on the north side of the Ekabu Chiefdom have fallen directly into the hands of the kingdom. The shipping route to Cuba has been completely opened, and warriors can be transported directly to the island of Cuba! His Majesty requested The first phase of the strategic mission is finally to suppress the Kanur clan, destroy the Feathertail and Deer Chong clans, garrison the Chikin chiefdom, and overthrow the Ekabu chiefdom... After two years of marching and fighting along the coast, under our Black Wolf Trust Finished in Ertech’s hands! Haha! I will always be the bravest black wolf!…”
"As for Cozumel and Pole in the middle of the chiefdom, they are also under the indirect control of the kingdom through the surrender and conversion of the Cozumel clan... The Ekabu chiefdom, which is three hundred miles north and south, has passed the Qiuhou In the internal and external conquests, we captured two thirds in one fell swoop!”
"Now, the last resistance forces of the Ekab Chiefdom are gathered in the southern jungle, obeying the command of the long-headed priests, and gathered in the coastal city of Xel-ha (Xel-ha), the port of Tulum, and inland The city of Coba in the jungle...the two city-states on the coast are easy to solve, but the city of Coba in the inland jungle is in some trouble! The most important thing is that the long-headed Mayan priests are still there, and they can constantly call on the Mayans in the south of the chiefdom. The tribes resist and fight!…”
"Witness the Lord God! If we could successfully break through the Tulum Temple and destroy the priesthood there as planned according to the previous plan, why would there be so much trouble? ... That useless guy in Yanhu can't even restrain the clan warriors under him. Stop it, you just let it slip!…”
Thinking of this, Black Wolf Toltec became very dissatisfied, so dissatisfied that he wanted to kill people. The Kingdom's originally planned post-autumn raid was to simultaneously eliminate the three major forces in the Ekabu Chiefdom, namely the Ishi clan in Port Ekabu, the Yandao clan in Yandao, and the priesthood of the Tulum Great Temple. . The raids at these ports were highly dependent on the response from the local tribes and relied on Yanhu's clan merchant fleets that traded in various ports for transportation.
As a result, two of the three sneak attacks were successful, the Yixi clan was destroyed, the Yandao clan changed hands, and only the attack on Tulum Port failed. The reason why the attack failed turned out to be that some of the Maya Yan Island warriors who were originally internal agents confessed to the Tulum Temple and leaked the news of the kingdom's attack!
As a result, the priests of the Tulum Temple prepared two days in advance, eliminated more than a hundred hidden Yandao insiders, mobilized local tribes to defend the city, and turned the sneak attack into a landing assault. The more than a thousand kingdom warriors who came by boat not only failed to capture the city-state, but also lost one or two hundred people in the assault. They were powerless and lacked supplies, so they had to evacuate by boat again...
"Damn, this group of unreliable local warriors! They fought other clans of gods and rebelled against the current head of the family without much hesitation. In the end, when facing those weak and powerless long-headed priests, they showed their cowardice and knelt down in front of the temple!..."
"These are really a group of cowardly turkeys, whose minds are controlled by the Mayan gods. At most, they can only guard the chicken coop! They are not hunting dogs. No matter how they are domesticated, they can't inspire much wildness, and it is difficult to become a biting wolf!..."
Thinking of this, the black wolf Toltec narrowed his eyes and subconsciously knocked on the skull in his hand. The power that the kingdom has deployed in the vast Mayan land is too limited. The dense jungles of the Mayan tribes are too difficult to sweep in one fell swoop, and they must be nibbled away bit by bit, corner by corner. In order to advance inland and defend the coast, we must gather enough servants to lead the way...
"Your Majesty taught me to destroy the enemy's living forces in the place where I can best exert my strength!... Since we failed to sneak attack and capture the Tulum Temple and all the long-headed priests... Then don't rush to break through Tulum now! Because if we attack now, we can't catch all the long-headed priests, and they will only let them escape into the more troublesome inland jungle, turning the happy fight on the coast into an inland jungle fight..."
"The Lord God is witnessing! Right on the coast of Tulum, in the place where the kingdom's warriors can best exert their strength, slowly drain the blood of these remaining resistance forces! The next step is to mobilize 3,000 warriors to surround Tulum. Mu, threaten the Great Temple not to fight, to attract the Mayan clans from all parts to come to the rescue! Then, defeat the reinforcements one by one, capture them one by one and sacrifice them, and send them all to the kingdom of God in the sky! …”
“As for Yanhu’s request for help, how can I give him so many kingdom warriors? Just let him guard his own Yan Island! Preach well in Yan Island, convert his warriors, and fix his leaky house well…Now these Yan Island warriors are not reliable at all, and there is a possibility of defecting, or leaking the military information of the army…Huh! The stall of Maya Coast is so big, if there can be more headquarters for investigation! …”
After sorting out his thoughts, Black Wolf Toltec’s eyes became sharp, and he silently clenched the skull wine glass in his hand. White Star Ishi’s skull creaked like a whine, just like his spineless begging for mercy before his death. And soon, a red-haired guard ran over, giving the skull a temporary respite, and also made Black Wolf raise his head suddenly.
"Boss! Black Wolf Boss!"
"Uta, what are you yelling about? Come over here and tell me!"
"Ah! Yes!... It's good news!"
"Good news?..."
The guard Uta smiled and rolled over in front of Black Wolf. Then, he stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of the port, and said happily.
"Boss! There are ships from the seaside in the port, bringing new supplies! And a new batch of wolf cubs have finally arrived!..."
