Chapter 736 The Second Kingdom Exploration, God Has Arrived!
The sun rose into the sky and the sea turned blood red. Longships cruise along the coast, cleaning up the battlefield after the war. Sailors salvaged cargo from the sea, captured drowned prisoners, and disposed of dead bodies. The warriors of the kingdom talked and laughed loudly, cutting off the heads to record their merits, and regarded the fierce fighting just now as just an ordinary thing.
In fact, there is really no pressure in such a one-sided battle. A total of a dozen people were slightly injured, three or four people were seriously injured, and two people were killed by poisonous arrows. As for the Siguayo people who died in battle or fell into the water, they are now scattered all over the coast. There may be as many as two hundred people!
"Praise the Lord God! He guides us and allows us to meet again!"
Priest Thomas stood on the bow of the flagship with a smile on his face. With bright eyes, he watched Boqiba, the red stone chief of the Red Earth Tribe, approaching in a canoe and then boarding the flagship longboat. Priest Tomat's smile was still as gentle as two months ago, but more confident and calm.
"Chief Redstone, the mighty power of the Lord God protects us! The siege of the Red Earth Tribe has been lifted! The Siguayu people have been completely defeated, leaving all the prisoners behind and fleeing. They suffered heavy casualties and will not come back in a short time. "
"Ah! Praise the gods! Dear Priest Tomat, you are a friend of the Red Earth Ministry. I sincerely thank you for your rescue! And you, the respected Chief Splash!"
Chief Redstone is slightly shorter in stature, has a simple face, and has red tattoos on his face. He jumped onto the long boat, his face full of excitement, and he knelt down on the deck, truly grateful for everyone's rescue.
"Gods and ancestors bless you! We all thought we were going to suffer misfortune, but we never thought that you defeated the ferocious Siguayo people! The villagers they captured were all left on the shore and were rescued by the village militia. Many disasters occurred All the plundered items were left on the shore. There were also dozens of fleeing enemies who fled into the surrounding jungle. This was truly a victory that I had never dreamed of!"
"Haha! This is all the blessing of the Lord God!"
Priest Tomat laughed heartily and enthusiastically, and lifted Chief Redstone up. Then, he grabbed the other person's arm tightly, smiled and talked about another topic.
"Respect Chief Redstone, have you carefully read the main text I left behind since we last parted? Is there anything you don't understand that you need to ask me about?"
"Uh! I read the Lord God's scriptures. They are very good! The pictures are very good! Well, this material called 'paper' is really magical."
Hearing this, Chief Redstone hesitated and responded with a forced smile. He did look through the scriptures left by Priest Thomas, but he didn't recognize a single "rune" and only read the picture story roughly. He also learned the eagles, snakes, and hummingbirds painted above, and prepared to draw them himself on the Zemi god tablet for worship.
As for the main god and the supreme and unique one, I didn’t understand it at all from the beginning to the end. In fact, he had no intention of converting to the main god and worshiping only one god. After all, everything has animism, so how can it be possible by relying on one God alone? However, the Longship tribe came to the rescue and defeated the Siguayu who were raiding the tribe. With such great kindness, it was hard for him to say anything.
Thinking of this, Chief Hongshi pulled his hair and invited him sincerely.
"Priest Tuomat, my good friend! You have traveled such a long way and fought such a big battle! Everyone in the tribe is very grateful and will prepare a big banquet for you to celebrate. How about that? Let the longship warriors and hunters rest in the village, and make sure they have enough food and drink!"
Hearing this, Chief Shuihua nodded repeatedly and extended the invitation with joy on his face.
"Yes! Priest Tomat, we were able to defeat the enemy this time thanks to your brave longship tribe! When we return to Mayari, I will also hold a big celebration banquet for you!"
"Haha! Chief Redstone, Chief Splash, thank you for the invitation! However, the celebration is not urgent at the moment."
Having said this, Priest Tomat's smile faded and his expression became solemn. He looked at Chief Splash calmly and spoke in a deep voice, word for word, in simple Taino language.
"The main god is originally the god of war. He protects the warriors of the tribe and wins the battle! According to the tradition of our tribe, after every victory, a sacred prayer ceremony must be held to offer sacrifices to the main god!"
"Two respected chiefs, since we participated in the battle together, we are comrades who live and die together, and we should share the glory of the Lord God! Please participate in the following prayer ceremony no matter what!"
"The tradition of the Longship Tribe, the prayer ceremony for victory? Okay, I'll participate!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Splash readily agreed. Chief Redstone hesitated for a moment, and then nodded when he saw Priest Tomat's solemn face.
"Okay! Okay! Come here! Prepare the prisoner sacrifices, put up the emblem of the Lord God, light the sacred brazier, burn the Cuban smoke, and prepare the tequila!"
Priest Thomas smiled and gave orders loudly. He looked at the dozens of blood-stained kingdom warriors on the long boat, laughing and praising them in Mexica, and loudly announcing.
"The Lord God lowered his boundless power and demonstrated His majesty! Warriors and sailors, your heroic battles spread the glory of the Lord God and made the Taino chiefs fear and respect them! They decided that at this moment, on this ship On the long boat, officially surrender to the Lord God!"
"Quick, get ready! Cut off the heads of the Siguayu people, pile them under the emblem of the main god, and prepare two captured sacrifices! We are here to sacrifice the enemy's head and the enemy's heart, Let’s hold another solemn prayer ceremony to convert the two Taíno allies!”
"Ho ho! Praise the Lord God! We fight for God and spread His glory!"
Hearing these words, the Kingdom warriors and sailors on the longboat cheered excitedly. Then, the cheers, along with the orders, spread to all the longboats, and the entire Red Earth Tribe coast was filled with fanatical shouts!
"Fight for God, spread glory! Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Convert! Convert!"
The shouts boiled like thunder and fell into the ears of everyone. Chief Water Splash and Chief Red Earth looked at each other, with some inexplicable horror on their faces. And when a two-meter-high wooden and stone emblem was erected, they were even more shocked, and even a scene that made them afraid also came!
The bloody heads that had just been cut off were brought up by the Kingdom warriors and piled under the emblem of the Sun Hummingbird. In just a moment, there were one or two hundred! The blood-stained heads were entangled with hair, stacked layer by layer, and piled into a small pyramid more than one meter high. At the bottom were blue-haired tribesmen, in the middle were red-haired tribal warriors, and at the top were three purple-haired warrior leaders!
At this moment, the heads of these Siguayu robbers, who were considered "extremely vicious" in the minds of the Taino people, were piled up neatly, like piled stones. Blood was dripping from their necks, and their faces were frozen with expressions of fear, anger, unwillingness, or despair. They all stared with wide eyes at the leaders in front of the emblem, especially the two Taino chiefs.
"Ah! Ah this! Ancestors!"
Seeing such a terrible sacrificial scene, the two simple Taino chiefs turned pale and were shocked and speechless. However, since the sacred sacrificial ceremony has begun, it is impossible to stop halfway! Several preaching priests on the ship have already skillfully lit the sacred fire, burned the sacred incense, and sang the prayer scriptures devoutly.
"Praise the Supreme Lord! We offer the heads of the enemies to you, praying for your attention and your arrival!"
"God has arrived! Sacrifice the sacrifice!"
With the announcement of the Tomat priest, the two red-haired Siguayu captives were taken to the bow. Seeing the pyramid of skulls, the two men turned pale and struggled desperately. However, several strong warriors of the kingdom pinned them to the ground, revealing their chests that rose and fell violently.
The face of the priest Tomat was solemn, without any expression. He looked deeply at the two Taino chiefs, watching the shock and awe on their faces, and nodded slightly. Then, the priest Tomat raised the obsidian dagger for sacrifice, looked at the sacrifice in front of him, and suddenly leaned down!
"Puff!"
"Crash!"
"Sizzle."
"Ah this! Ancestors!"
Amid the exclamations of the two Taino chiefs, the dagger fell, splashing warmth, and then fell into the brazier, burning with a faint charred smoke. The charred smoke was diffused, with a strong fishy smell, and rushed into the nose. The prayers of the priests on the ship suddenly became louder, and the warriors of the kingdom also sang devoutly.
This is a dialogue between God and man. It is an ancient tradition that has been maintained for two thousand years on the bloodthirsty Mexica Plateau. It is also a pious blood sacrifice that the Taino tribes have never seen before!
"The Lord God has lowered his eyes and is looking at us who are pious! He will also personally witness and witness that His faith will spread for the first time on the Snake Island of Cuba!"
The Tomat priest declared passionately, his expression was both pious and excited. Then, he lowered the bloody obsidian dagger, slowly turned around, revealing the priest's robe that had been completely stained red. His face and hands were stained with blood, but his smile was bright and sincere.
"Chief Splash, Chief Redstone"
Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar Tomat priest in front of him, Chief Splash's heart surged with an uneasy fear, and his face turned pale. Chief Redstone next to him silently took a step back, but was firmly blocked by the warriors who surrounded him. The two looked around, and dozens of kingdom priests and warriors were surrounding them, looking at them eagerly. The flagship of the entire fleet was already packed, and there were six long ships surrounding it, so there was no way to retreat.
"Come on! Two respected chiefs!"
Priest Tomat looked at the two people with sincerity and gentleness. He was like a kind elder, patiently persuading a lost child, but he did not allow the other party to refuse.
"The sun rises in the sky, and the Supreme Lord is watching us! Come, let me convert you and make you the first batch of glorious Lord God believers on the Snake Island of Cuba! Come, give your hair, your blood, your soul and everything to the Lord God, and He will bring down light and protect you from now on!"
"God has come to this vast and pure sea! He is the real and only belief! And I will let you know."
