Aztec Eternals

Chapter 1459 Ask God for Another Fifty Years!

The long cold night passed quietly, and the world of disputes did not stop for a moment. The plans of the great nobles were in the low and dirty logistics camp. The only God King camped on the top of the hill and erected a ten-meter-high royal flag. The God King's royal tent was extremely spacious with feathers fluttering, facing the ever-lasting Yunshan City. And under the royal flag and the royal tent, there was a siege army that surrounded the city like an ant nest!

"The rainy season in August is finally over! My loyal warriors, it's time to move!..."

The God King Avit wore a cloak and a long crown with red feathers, like a two-meter-tall god. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the rising sun in the east. The rising sun reflected his cold face, illuminated his eyes with flames, and cast a long black shadow to the west. And the chief intelligence officer Shadow Dagger knelt in his shadow, waiting patiently.

"Haha! These insects in Yunshan City finally got scared and want to surrender to me?"

"Yes! Your Majesty the God King! The secret guards spent a lot of effort to contact the Mixtec nobles in the city, the brothers Yunhe and Yunming... They are all defeated by the alliance, begging the God King for forgiveness, forgiveness of the descendants of the gods in Yunshan... Behind them should be the Lord of Yunshan City."

"Their initial condition is: as long as the alliance accepts their surrender and submission, they will hand over the chief priests of the Rain God in the city, hand over the temple of the Yuntan ancestral land, completely convert to the Lord God, and hand over the descendants of the gods as hostages of the alliance... Furthermore, they are willing to marry the Mexica royal family and let the descendants of the Mexica royal bloodline be the future heirs of Yunshan City..."

"Hmm? At this time, they are still unwilling to open the city and surrender, and hand over Yunshan City? Then there is no need to... Let's talk! …"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I replied to them in the same way. After the alliance envoys repeatedly put pressure on them, the latest condition is that they are willing to hand over the twin cities of Yunshan... However, they have two harsh preconditions. Without your authorization, I can't make any promises..."

"Speak!"

"The first condition is to preserve the lives of all the noble descendants of the gods in Yunshan City, and to keep their property and servants. The second condition is that they need a small piece of land to pass on the bloodline of Yunzhong... And these two conditions require the true nobles of the alliance to swear an oath with blood with them, and swear in the name of their ancestors and gods! …"

"Haha! Let me swear an oath with blood with them? This group of descendants of the gods in Yunzhong is really interesting! …"

Hearing such conditions, the corners of the mouth of the god king Avit raised, and he sneered with disdain. In his opinion, this is simply smoking too much divine cigarettes and eating too many mushrooms. How could he personally come forward to swear an oath of blood with a group of descendants of the gods in the cloud, and use his political reputation to guarantee the target of the gods' war?

"Your Majesty, the descendants of the gods in Yunshan City begged that the noble who swore an oath with them... If you are willing to come forward, it would be the best. If not, you can replace it with the heir of the alliance, His Highness Shulotte!..."

"And if there is no guarantee from you or His Highness Shulotte, they will continue to defend Yunshan City. According to them, the food in the city can be defended for another three years. But after the secret guards' spying and torture of the captives, it is estimated that there is still one and a half years of food in the city. If they abandon the old and weak, then at most two years..."

"Swear an oath of blood, it can be me, or the heir of the alliance, Shulotte?..."

Hearing this, the God King Avit frowned, looking slightly unhappy. The descendants of the gods in the cloud were not clear about the inheritance dispute of the alliance. In their view, the successor of the alliance is still Shulot, who has a large army and the largest fiefdom.

Although this fact made Avit somewhat unhappy, it was not beyond his expectations. Because not only the Mixtecs, but also the Zapotecs in the southeast think so. And what really makes him feel difficult is...

"The food reserves in Yunshan City are at most two years? If the siege lasts for another two years, the pressure on the alliance's logistics..."

The God King Avit remained silent, and his expression became serious. At this moment in the southern expedition, the difficulty of the logistics pressure has exceeded his worst imagination! This southern expedition against the Mixtecs is completely different from the previous western expedition to Tarasco and the eastern expedition to Tlaxcala!

Although the western expedition to Tarasco is also 700 miles away, there are two waterways in the north and south, which can serve as convenient logistics and food routes. In addition, Tarasco is a kingdom with concentrated power, and the terrain is mostly flat plateaus. As long as the capital Qin Congcan is conquered and the king of the royal family of the gods is captured, the country can be directly declared destroyed!

The Eastern Expedition to Tlaxcala is a close enemy. Although the last four snake cities were also besieged for a long time, the logistics supply line is actually very short, separated by only a mountain range of smoke peaks. Moreover, after Tlaxcala was surrounded, there was no external aid. As long as a few snake cities are surrounded and killed, agricultural production in other places can be restored as soon as possible...

And this southern expedition to the Mixtec tribes really taught the alliance a lesson, letting the alliance know how difficult it is to attack and destroy a mountain tribe alliance with a radius of 600 miles and the enemy reinforcements that keep appearing!

Just like now, the food route of the Eastern Army is 800 miles from the lake capital to the Yunshan city! This distance is already 200 miles more than the 600-mile food route when the siege of the mountain city of Ottopan was made. What's more tricky is that there is almost no waterway in this 800-mile food route, and half of it is mountain road!

This kind of logistical pressure is simply abyss-level for the Mexican Alliance, which has no ox-carts or horse-drawn carriages and no built roads, and relies entirely on the transport of civilians! In order to ensure the logistics supply of the army, not only tens of thousands of civilians were mobilized in the Texcoco Lake area and a large amount of stored food was squeezed out, but a large amount of materials and manpower were also allocated to the southern city-states and Tlaxcala Basin along the way. In addition, a large number of military camps have been set up in the valley of Shenshan City to try to be self-sufficient.

It can be said that although the size of the alliance army in this southern expedition was no larger than that of the western and eastern expeditions, the materials consumed were several times that of the western and eastern expeditions! Even when Xiulote saw the large number of boards with logistics supply records, he couldn't help but look surprised. Because he knew very well that the size of his feudal kingdom in the lake could not bear such a terrible consumption of food and manpower.

Such a battle to destroy a country within a radius of 600 miles, in the world of Central America, is like Qin destroying Chu. It must be overwhelmed with large numbers! Otherwise, we must either advance digestion bit by bit, hoard food bit by bit, and farm on the front line for several years or ten years. Either they can only establish restraints, establish vassal tributes, recognize the autonomy of various mountain tribes, and then divide and marry, preach and assimilate, and complete the conquest in a gentler way...     Without the changes brought about by Shulot, Avit could only He could force the Mixtecs to vassalize and pay tribute, then annex a few city-states to the south, and then be satisfied with this and let go of the distant gods in the clouds. But now, his ambition and ambition to dominate the world are no longer satisfied with this! And Shulot's improved logistical support capabilities can barely support him, one step south, and another step south!

"Two years? Another two years of siege?... From Mixtec to Zapotec... From the Oaxaca Valley to the seaside... How many more years can the alliance support the logistics of such a southern expedition?..."

God King Avit clasped his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful. After a while, he came up with a clear number and walked to the table in the king's tent.

On the large desk, there is a carefully marked map of the clouds. And if you look closely, you will see that there is a Zapotec land that is four hundred miles southeast of the Mixtec land that is six hundred miles away, and most of the city-states and tribes have been clearly marked!

Yes, this is the southern map that the Secret Guards spied on. Under the leadership of Chief Intelligence Officer Shadow Dagger, the Secret Guards' infiltration and spying on hostile forces was far better than during Gillim's time. And the help for the God King's military campaign is also a visible improvement. However, in this kind of dangerous infiltration, the secret guards will naturally suffer losses. They have already gone through two rounds of secret recruitment and replenishment in the Texcoco Lake area...

At the same time, the alliance also has some senior secret guards who, as long-term hidden stakes, are buried on the shores of the Lake Kingdom and Totonak, and even in Otomi and Huastek. The various tribal legions under Shulot's influence are always the deepest fear in Avitt's heart...

As for the great nobles of the centralized city-states, Gillim had already beaten them several times and killed several groups of them. Then, he made a heavy move and used the Eastern and Southern Expeditions to take away most of the financial and military power of the nobles, almost completing the centralization of power in the Lake District. At present, these original nobles of the alliance have apparently lost most of their power. They have transferred their seals to others and taken refuge in others, and they no longer have any ability to resist. And the focus of the secret guards' attention naturally shifted accordingly...

"If Yunshan City continues to be besieged for two more years, then this southern expedition cannot be accomplished overnight and continue to attack and destroy the Zapotec tribes. The alliance army must reorganize, and the three armies must be disbanded in turn... I must also return to the capital in the lake, After saving for another three years, we can raise the army again and go south!"

"With these three years, the Zapotecs can take a breather, restore some warriors, and build a ring of mountain forts to make the next conquest more difficult... And the same logistical problems will also arise. …”

"What's more, conquering Mixtec and Huastec in two separate conquests...how can such an achievement be compared to conquering two tribes in Yunzhong in one fell swoop and conquering Yunzhong thousands of miles away?..."

After thinking for a long time, God King Avit stretched out his hand and grasped the topaz on the staff, which symbolized glory and courage. At this moment, he finally made a choice and made a fateful choice. With an expressionless face, he stood up again, searched in the big tent for a while, and slowly pulled out another crude map, but it was the northern continent explored by the Fengguo in the Lake!

Shulot briefly reported all the news about the northern exploration to him. He also arranged for secret guards to collect intelligence in the feudal kingdom in the lake, and at the same time, he also collected a lot of news about the northern continent. Just like the approximate locations of Prince Feather and the Black Snake Clan, he almost knows them all...

"Swear on blood, hand over Yunshan City... keep your life, and still have a fiefdom to pass on the Yunzhong bloodline..."

God King Avit squinted his eyes and gently touched the desolate and barbaric northern continent where divine disasters were raging, as if he was touching the edge of the world. Then, he took out his pen, dipped it in cochineal ink, and drew a red line on the edge of the Nava world, at the northern mouth of the Leman River, and north of the land of Northern Tekos!

After doing this, he looked at the loyal chief intelligence officer and outstanding military intelligence officer Ying Dagger, pointed at the map and gave instructions.

"The alliance can accept the conditions of the divine descendants of Yunshan City... However, this fiefdom cannot be in the land of the clouds, nor can it be in the plateau world. It can only be in the vast northern continent, north of this red line!..."

"Go! Give the conditions of the descendants of Yunshan City and this map to Shulot!"

"He is the most in line with my wishes and understands my ambitions... Let him be responsible for the next negotiations!..."

"In addition, tell him that a divination of the Lord God's will will make the surrender of the nobles in Yunzhong more easily accepted by the nobles and warriors! After all, the slogan before the southern expedition was "God War", which was to completely eliminate the descendants of the false gods in Yunzhong..."

A prophet accompanying the army is so useful that he can "interpret the Lord God's will in a timely manner, which is in line with the will of the God King, making Avit very satisfied! So much so that even the slight slander of the new divination from the high priest group was severely rebuked and rejected by him. He knew the dissatisfaction of the high priest group and knew that those priest elders wanted to monopolize the supreme power of divination. But this right is so useful, and Shulot has always followed his instructions, which is equivalent to his divine power of divination. How can he let it go? ...

"Yes! Your Majesty the God King!"

The outstanding military intelligence officer Yingbi bowed his head and saluted the God King respectfully again. Then, he carefully picked up the map, stuffed it into his arms, and left as lightly as he came. Behind him, the God King was wearing a cloak, holding a scepter, and looking towards the endless south. In the golden red sunlight, his glorious red feather crown swayed, as if burning with fire!

"... a thousand miles of clouds... a thousand miles of Maya... and three thousand miles of Cuba... ten thousand miles of the northern continent... and even twenty thousand miles of the evil land!..."

"Lord God bless, this world is so vast! I will live another fifty years, just like the immortal elder. I am the real God King..."

"This vast world! I will take my loyal legion to see it all and conquer it all!"
