Chapter 613: Second Kingdom Exploration, Songs on the Caribbean Sea

"Ah snap!"

The declaration of the Mexica priest echoed in the tent, with the will of fire and blood, telling the story of the killing that must come! Then, a filled clay pot fell from the trembling hands, and with a suppressed exclamation, it landed heavily in the soil. The fragrant cocoa spread all over the floor in an instant, filling the tent with fragrance.

"Um?"

The main priest Thomas narrowed his eyes and looked at the confused and trembling Dark Snake in the corner. He looked carefully at the boy's tanned skin and calloused fingers, but said nothing.

"Someone, clean it up!"

Silver Crow Papata put down the clay pot in his hand and called out. The two Huastec maids lowered their heads and came to do their business. Then, Chief Silver Crow gave a few more instructions and summoned a strong and strong young Silver Crow warrior. The young warrior also wears the talisman of the hummingbird sun around his neck.

"Dear God of War Priest, the kingdom's fleet has been inspired by the gods to go to the Eastern Snake Island to suppress the Quetzalcoatl. Then, as a loyal vassal of the alliance, the Silver Crow Tribe will never stand idly by!"

Having said this, Papata smiled slightly and reached out to pat the young warrior on the shoulder.

"This is the youngest Silver Crow warrior in the tribe, an osprey who can fight in the water! The osprey has driven a small boat to the land of the Totonak people, and is familiar with the city-states hundreds of miles along the way. From today on, he will Lead thirty Silver Crow warriors and twenty shipwrights to join the kingdom’s seagoing fleet. Please don’t refuse.”

"Oh? Warrior Osprey, good at water fighting?"

Priest Tomat pondered for a moment, then glanced at the silent and solemn Warrior Osprey, sizing up his streamlined muscles, with a smile on his face.

Fifty people came out of the Silver Crow tribe. Although the number was small, it further clarified Chief Papata's position. The Lake Kingdom is located on the coast of the East China Sea and lacks a stable stronghold. The Silver Crow tribe has tens of thousands of young people and controls Crow City along the coast. If they move closer to the kingdom, it will bring great convenience.

Thinking of this, Priest Thomas smiled and nodded, thanking him loudly.

"Thank you, respected Chief Papata! I will write to His Highness to praise you for your support to the kingdom!"

"Haha! I have also admired the divinely inspired His Highness Shulot for a long time. At this moment, His Highness is leading an army to besiege the ancestral land of the Tlaxcala people. And I wish I could lead the tribal warriors to join the alliance's army. Among them, fight for the Lord God!”

Hearing the quietly changed title of "Lord God" in Papata's mouth, Tomat nodded with satisfaction. He stood up and drew the character "囵" for Sun Hummingbird in front of Chief Silver Crow. Then, he smiled and praised, making a bold promise.

"Your piety is really amazing! The light of the Lord God will definitely protect you from the lower reaches of the Cat Eagle River to the East China Sea! And if His Highness knew about it, he would be extremely pleased and would definitely have some support."

"Oh? From the lower reaches of Cat Eagle River to the East China Sea?! This territory"

Hearing this, Papata looked happy. This article can be regarded as a secret agreement between the kingdom and the Silver Crow Tribe to achieve some kind of potential cooperation. Both parties knew that it had nothing to do with the alliance. Chief Silver Crow was thinking a lot, stretched out his hand, and touched the "Ali Sutra" on the ground, showing piety on his face.

"Dear priest of the Lord God, please give this sacred book to the Silver Crow Tribe! I would like to invite the priests and elders in the tribe to study together day and night to understand the teachings of the Lord God!"

"good very good!"

Priest Tomat perked up and said with a smile.

"However, one book is not enough? This trip to sea has another purpose, which is to spread the glory of the Lord God and educate the Taino people on Snake Island. There are dozens of boxes of scriptures printed in the fleet of the Taino Kingdom! The priests of the Silver Crow Tribe You and the elders can all have one copy!”

"Haha, it's really great! God bless you!"

"Lord God bless us!"

Both parties reached a consensus, and the host and guest were all happy. Of course, to further confirm the cooperative relationship or even establish a secret alliance, we still have to wait for His Highness's approval. Next, there was an exquisite and sumptuous dinner, and a night of joyful singing and enchantment.

The next day was clear and cloudless, suitable for a long journey. As the sun rose into the sky, the seven repaired and reinforced kingdom longships raised their sails together and prepared for a long journey.

The silent warrior Osprey brought the Huastec warriors under Puap's command. The Mayan merchant Tikallo also returned from a nearby market and brought back several older Mayan guides. Silver Crow Chief Papata led hundreds of tribal warriors to see him off outside the city in person.

The long river flows into the East China Sea. The longship sets off on its journey. Two days later, the boundless Caribbean Sea unfolded before everyone's eyes!

"Such a vast lake! Where does it lead to? From east to west, everything you can see is water!"

"Ah! The great lake is bigger than the Rain God! This must be the creation of the Lord God! I praise you who are extremely powerful!"

On the bow of the flagship, the young Dark Snake was stunned and sailor Didi prayed devoutly. At this moment, two crew members from different backgrounds and classes stood side by side, their minds turbulent. This was their first time to see the boundless sea!

"Praise the Lord God, bless the voyage!"

Hundreds of sailors and warriors were standing on the bow of the ship at this moment, praying to the sun in the sky. This is also the first time that a fleet from the Kingdom of the Lake, and even the Mexican Alliance, has arrived in the vast Caribbean! And a new route of five thousand miles begins at this moment, heading to a distant place that has never been reached!

"Hey, hey, let's go to sea!"

The sea and sky are so vast, and I don’t know where to return. The old militiaman turned the rudder, looked at the swifts flying high, and looked at the endless sea and sky in the east. He raised his head, grinned, and sang the tune of his hometown Patzcuaro. He sang with a smile, singing happily, using the unique dialect of the lake area, and he didn’t have to worry about the Mexica people being able to understand. Soon, he sang faster and faster, and became happier and happier, even laughing to tears!

"The sea is full of water! There is no end to the journey! Your Majesty, he opens his mouth! I, a poor old farmer, will run my legs off!"

"Run my legs off, walk everywhere! Walk everywhere, the sun is burning! The sea is surging like boiling soup, Your Majesty, fan yourself in the tent! Shake it, and set sail!"

"Set sail to the east, to go five thousand miles! Five thousand miles, look at my hometown! Look around! My hometown is far away, I can't see it! Your Majesty, you are such a bastard! Oh, such a bastard!"

"."

Listening to the familiar hometown tune and the lyrics composed by the old militia, Puapu was sweating profusely and couldn't speak for a while.

The chief priest Tomat next to him showed curiosity. He listened for a while, but only heard the joy from the heart and the fearless determination. The pious chief priest nodded and asked softly.

"Praise the Lord! What a heroic boat song! Um, what's it about?"

"Um, it's about setting sail today and spreading glory! If we don't reach Snake Island, we will never return home in this life! Ah, praise the Lord, praise His Majesty! Your Majesty is so great! Oh, so great!"

Puapu stuttered and tried to answer. Then, he forced a smile, changed the subject, patted the shoulder of the Tomat priest, and then pointed to the southeast.

"Aha! With the Lord's blessing, the fleet is heading east! The wind is calm and suitable for long-distance sailing. Our next goal is the Quetzalcoatl City of the Totonac people, 300 miles to the southeast!"
