Chapter 638 The Second Kingdom Exploration, Maya Sixteen Clans, Who Are You?

The setting sun slanted down and fell into the clouds on the sea, reflecting layers of colorful clouds. Tikalo stared at the sky blankly, as if he were seeing a Mayan epic of three thousand years, rolled up in the sea of ​​clouds, overflowing with color and light.

The sun falls on the edge of the clouds, reflecting the golden outline, which is the glory of the golden age. The light shot into the clouds, revealing a deep red glow, which was the prosperity of Mayapan's revival. When the light falls into the depths, only the bottomless black abyss is left. That is the darkness and despair of the destruction of the Cocom family!

Now, that once-desperate child of divine origin, who was thousands of miles away from home, has grown up and even grown old. But the hope he had been pursuing for forty years was still so dim, as lightless as the dark moon.

"In this world, there will never be another hero named Cocom blessed by the gods."

Ti Carlo pursed his lips and hid all his emotions in his heart, turning them into desperate hatred and courage.

"Mortal people cannot pray for fate. They can only put aside everything and risk their lives to grab the hem of fate, even if the price is death!"

The moist wind blows from the sea, blowing people's clothes and forehead. Everyone on the flagship was immersed in the story of Eastern Maya and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time. Golden ages came and ended, divine heroes came and went, great kingdoms were founded and perished. But now, in the lowlands of the Eastern Maya, only the fragmented clan chiefdoms remain.

"Of course, this is not a bad thing for the alliance and the kingdom that aspire to the world!"

The main priest Tomat pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with light. He looked at the Mayan merchant who would regain his composure and asked in a deep voice.

"Tikalo, you said that the Xiwu family attacked and killed the Cocom royal family, and the Mayapan Kingdom was destroyed. But how could such a huge kingdom be destroyed so easily? Didn't the generals of Mayapan attack the Xiwu family? What good will it do to the Xiu family to kill the royal family and commit such a crime? What is the appearance of the Mayan lowlands in the east now? "

After hearing this series of questions, Tikalo looked thoughtful. As expected, the kingdom's priests and generals all have strong ambitions. And a divided Maya will inevitably attract the prying eyes of bears like tempting honey. As long as the bear is close enough and can be reached.

"The huge Mayapan Kingdom is actually a city-state alliance composed of hundreds of city-states spread across Yucatan and the lowlands. Each Mayan city-state is located close to water sources and is distributed over a radius of 700 miles. . In the jungle with difficult roads, communication is not convenient, and it is also difficult for large groups of warriors to march. Most of the alliance city-states are governed by the local divine families. The immortal Mayapan is respected by all states. The sect master of Feng! The divine Cocom royal family enjoys the title of 'King of Maya' and is the link that maintains the entire alliance!"

Regarding the destruction of Mayapan, Tikalo once stayed up all night and thought seriously about it for many years. At this moment, he spoke with a certain calmness like a sage.

"The Xiwu family, originating from Uxmal, is the most powerful city-state leader family near the royal capital of Mayapan. It controls several large city-states and more than a dozen small villages and towns. Two hundred years ago, they gradually focused on ruling. Moved from Uxmal to Mani. And this city-state is only fifty miles away from Mayapan! With their respected blood and their strong strength, they are highly involved in the politics of the kingdom and are the most powerful in Mayapan. One of the influential noble families, in other words, is like the relationship between the former city-state of Texcoco and Trochititlan!”

Hearing this, the main priest Tomat suddenly felt a little confused. It turns out that this rebellious Xiwu family is a powerful prince very close to the royal capital! Such a rebel with different intentions, powerful strength, and close at hand is really impossible to guard against, so he can only take the initiative to attack!

As for the Mayans, their divine bloodline has been passed down for thousands of years, and their class remains almost unchanged. They have an extremely strict hierarchy of nobility and nobility, and they also have aristocratic power that is far more powerful than the Alliance.

Many divine families have been multiplying for thousands of years and have extremely large family members. They often control more than one city-state and are also in charge of the city-state's theocratic and military power. Therefore, the political structure of the Mayan tribes is the oligarchs or monopolistic clan chiefdoms formed after clan politics developed to its extreme.

"The conflict between the Xiwu family and the Kokom royal family has been going on for a long time. There have been twists and turns, and it even started from the hostility between the City of Gods and the Snake Capital in the Golden Age. After the establishment of Mayapan, the Kokom royal family continued to expand and gradually centralized its power. . As the most powerful divine family closest to the capital, the Xiwu family has suffered the most. On the surface, the Xiwu family is respectful and obedient, and has even been married to the royal family for many generations, but it is a pity that Mayapan has been secretly dissatisfied! There is no ruthless elder who can kill these hidden poisonous snakes in advance!"

"The Xiu family raided Mayapan, killed all the Cocom royal family, and burned down the capital. The entire city-state alliance lost its bond. Marching in the rainforest was inconvenient. Without the cooperation of the city-states along the way to provide food and civilians, it would be difficult for the conquest army to move. Far. The royal family was destroyed too quickly. Within ten days, the blood of thousands of gods and tens of thousands of civilians covered the royal capital, turning the stadium into a lake of blood. Under the brutal massacre of the Xiu family, No high-ranking Kokom prince can escape from the capital and call on all the states to come to his aid."

Tikalo lowered his eyes and suppressed a somewhat choked voice. He bit his lower lip hard before regaining his composure and said.

"Therefore, in this sudden rebellion, apart from the Kanul family, which was hostile to the Xiu family and also adjacent to Mayapan, no reinforcements from other clans arrived in time. The royal family was completely destroyed, and the military leaders of the alliance were scattered everywhere. They lost their respected suzerain, so they took the clan as the foundation, occupied the land as the king, and attacked each other. From then on, the entire Mayapan Kingdom, from the eastern coast to the western coast, from the northern coast to the southern lowlands, was divided into sixteen clan chiefdoms of different sizes and strengths!"

"Sixteen clan chiefdoms?"

The chief priest Tomat touched his chin and thought about the situation that was broken into pieces. So, among these chiefdoms, who is the enemy of the kingdom and who is the friend of the kingdom? Or, who is the ally that can be temporarily allied? Priest Tomat pondered for a moment, then looked at Ticarlo and asked in a deep voice.

"Which clans are the most powerful among these sixteen countries? Where do they occupy the Yucatan Peninsula, and how many warriors do they control?"

Hearing this, Puapu nodded heavily and spoke with murderous intent.

"Yes! Where is the Xiwu family, the blood of the Sky Serpent, and how many warriors do they have?"

"After the fall of Mayapan, the kingdom was divided into sixteen clans and sixteen countries. The four most powerful clans are all concentrated in the northern part of Yucatan, which has abundant water resources and a large population. And these four clans also control the sea and land trade of the Yucatan Peninsula, control the route to the Quetzalcoatl Island, and occupy the most amazing wealth!"

Tikal smiled and spoke slowly. He knew the key points that His Highness Shulot valued, and knew what to say to make the priests and warriors of the Lake Kingdom moved.

"These four tribes are located along the coast of the peninsula from west to east: the Ah Canul family, the third most powerful family with its capital in Calkini, on the westernmost side of the peninsula; the Xiu family, the most powerful family with its capital in Mani and occupying the Mayapan Kingdom, located in the western part of the central part of the peninsula; the Cupul family, the second most powerful family with many vassals, located in the eastern part of the central part of the peninsula with its capital in Zaci; and the Ekab chiefdom alliance, the easternmost side of the peninsula, with the holy land of Cozumel as its center, controlling the route to Quetzalcoatl Island."

"The Ekab chiefdom alliance controls the route to Quetzalcoatl Island?"

Hearing this, the chief priest Tomat was a little confused.

"Tikalo, the other three are all clan chiefdoms, why is this Ekabu a chiefdom alliance?"

"Respected Lord God Priest, because the Ekabu Alliance is an alliance formed by multiple families under the call of the Holy Land Yan Island. In the alliance, the status of each family city-state is equal under the attention of the Rain God."

"An alliance of equal states? In this form, who will make the final decision if something big happens?"

"Ha! Respected Lord God Priest, all states have equal status, and the Holy Land Yan Island dedicated to the Rain God is naturally more equal than other city-states!"

Tikalo raised his mouth and said with a bit of sarcasm.

"So, when something big happens, it is naturally the head of the priests of the Holy Land who will make the final decision!"

Hearing this, Lord God Priest Tomat pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and seemed to understand something.

". Is the strength of the Xiwu family the strongest?"

Pu'ap's face was a little uncertain. After a moment, he was still ruthless and asked again.

"Tikalo, how many warriors and people do these families you mentioned have?"

"I'm just an ordinary Mayan merchant. How can I know the secrets of these tribes?"

Hearing this expected question, the Mayan merchant blinked and answered with a smile.

"But with the prosperity of the lowland Maya, the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula and the former Mayapan Kingdom have a population of 1.5 million, so there must be one million and a half million people!"

"One million and a half million people! Thirty people can produce one warrior, so wouldn't that mean at least 50,000 warriors?!"

Hearing this, Puapu was shocked. Such a huge population is close to the peak of the Lake Kingdom. And the eastern Mayan lowlands are 3,000 miles away from the Mexica Alliance, making it difficult to mobilize a large army!

"Fortunately, the huge Mayapan has disintegrated and split into clan chiefdoms in one place. In this way, even if the noble descendants of the gods are killed, they can go to other chiefdoms."

Puapu's expression changed, and murderous intent was looming.

"The blood of the serpent god can remove the curse of the condor!"

As the sun sets, the golden and red clouds change in the sky, falling into everyone's eyes, like an unpredictable future. Compared with the Mayan clan chiefdoms, the strength of the Kingdom's expedition fleet is not worth mentioning.

However, the Kingdom's fleet is just a preliminary feeler. Behind the Kingdom's fleet, there is a powerful plateau eagle and the ambitious and divinely inspired His Highness! There is no doubt that this is a powerful force that can affect the Yucatan Peninsula. And this powerful force's attitude towards the first encounter of the Mayan clans is determined by the hands of the flagship!

The old militiaman Chihuaco has been watching coldly and remained silent. Until this moment, he looked at Ticaro with a cold face and asked coldly.

"Ticaro, you hairless fox, you are very thoughtful! You just said so much, I only have one question. Who are you?"

There is a distribution map of the sixteen clans in the easter egg chapter. Details will be gradually added later. I have been reading Maya's information for a long time. Yunmeng, please vote and support me!
