Chapter 953 Let Go of the Beast's Rope, the Monkey's Loyal Request

"Lord God bless! Etalik, my loyal family general... You don't need to worry about the situation of the alliance. Continue to follow the original plan and open up the Southeast Sea Road! The first goal right now is to flatten the Fengyuan City of the Trapaniks, Occupy the 600-mile coast from Haenyeo City to Fengyuan City, and force the bee city in the mountains to surrender..."

Shulot sat cross-legged in front of the table, looking at the open map of the south while writing a reply to the veteran Etalik.

"The Bee City of the Trapaniks is located in the mountains south of the Talsas River. City, there is a waterway that flows into the sea, which can be used as a thoroughfare for marching... This is also the waterway for Trapanic merchants to do business, connecting the long river and the sea..."

"There are about 200,000 to 300,000 people in the various tribes of Trapanic. In order to conquer them...Etalik, my loyal family general, I allow you to supply food from the royal capital and the smelting and foundry of Heiyan Mountain according to the food supply in Zicao County. Replenish equipment and expand the Zicao Legion as much as possible! Whether it is a Tlaxcala warrior, a Tekos warrior, or even a Trapanik warrior...you can recruit into the legion and fight for the kingdom!"

After writing here, Xiulot stopped writing, pondered for a while, and clearly wrote out the next arrangement.

"After the Eastern Expedition is completely over, I will return to the capital of the lake to participate in the grand ceremony of victory...According to God King Avit, I should stay in the capital of the lake for two years, or even longer...So, I grant You have full power to conquer the south, you have to let go! The better you fight, the more legions you expand, the happier I will be in the capital in the lake... and the safer..."

Xiulot picked up the letter paper, faced the sunlight again, and read it carefully. Afterwards, he copied it twice by himself, using a jade seal on each letter, and handed it to the solemn-looking chief guard.

"Witness of the Lord God! This royal decree is in triplicate, and the personal guards are used to expedite the delivery! One copy is given to the chief minister of the king's capital, the chief priest of the kingdom, Jatiri, to coordinate the distribution of food and the transfer of priests in each county. Give it to Talea, the director of the Divine Apocalypse Institute, and provide military supplies for the counties. The last one will be handed over to the veteran Etalik, and tell him..."

Shulot paused for a moment, his eyes became sharp, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"From the day Wang Ling arrived, he is not only the county governor of Zicao County, but also the kingdom's Zicao Jiedushi! That is, the chief Zicao who controls all military affairs and decides to conquer independently!..."

"ah!"

Hearing this, the chief guard Eckart's expression suddenly changed. He widened his eyes and looked at Shulot, but only saw that unquestionable firm expression.

"Patriarch, witness of the Lord God!...Once you give such power...if you want to take it back, I'm afraid it will not be so easy..."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiulot remained silent. The kingdom's political system was originally born out of a loose tribal alliance, retaining a great deal of local autonomy. The relationship between the central government of the kingdom and the local counties is more like the Great Khan on the grassland and the great chiefs of various tribes, or the early system of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, rather than the centralized power formed after the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Xiulot is also very clear about his position. Although he has the ambition of the First Emperor, in Central America, on the basis of the political alliance of city-states and tribes, he has a series of vassal tribes that are entrusted and controlled... The roles he is getting closer and closer to are actually the Huns Modu Chanyu, the Mongols Genghis Khan, Khitan Emperor Abaoji...

"Eckart, after I go to the capital in the lake, my king's order may not be able to flow. Before that, I have to loosen all the ropes of the beasts under my hands, so that they can find their prey independently. Strengthen yourself!..."

"As for the veteran Etalik, he is old... and he has never had any ambitions. In fact, he is the one I am most assured of!"

Shulot shook his head with a smile, and the faces of several legion commanders quickly turned in his mind.

"Teacher Olosh, warrior captain Bertard, black wolf Toltek, monkey Kuluka, miner Ezpan, wolf head Elvi, and personal guard Papp...well, monkey, monkey..."

Thinking of the monkey Kuluka, the matter of the priests and elders sent by God King Avit to confer monkeys once again came to his mind. For this matter, he sent an envoy to the alliance to express his loyalty again. As for the interior of the kingdom, he did not issue any strict royal decrees, but only promoted the sage Jatiri to be the chief priest of the kingdom, who is fully in charge of the kingdom's priests and is above the two chief priests.

"Eckart, I haven't responded to the latest letter from the monkey Kuluka...Give it to me! I have decided to respond to his request and give him a formal royal decree, also in triplicate!..."

"...Yes! I obey you, Patriarch!..."

The head of the guard, Eckart, nodded solemnly, and took out a carefully packed letter. The king had already read the contents of the letter, but it was only today that he made up his mind.

"...Your Majesty, you saved my life, promoted me from the humble, and gave me great responsibility... My loyalty to you will never change! Even if I am a Mexica, even if I face the Mexica the king of..."

"But I am always in fear, not for my own loyalty, but for the loyalty of my legion... You know, my Lance Corps is composed of warriors from Mexica... The King of Mexica is in their hearts There will always be deep imprints of the influence of God. Just like a stone with gaps, it will flow into the water...I think this is also the reason why the God King chose to confer me. I know the possible choices in the future, and I can guarantee my loyalty, but Couldn't vouch for the entire Legion..."

"The westward expedition to the Lake Chapala area is going very smoothly! The Chapala Lake area is like a ripe fruit. I, a greedy monkey, plucked it and offered it to you... At the end of February, there will be That's when I wrote this letter... the ancient city of Chapala by the lake, the central city-state of the entire lake area, and the capital of the Prince of Feathers, has just been blasted by the thunder of the mortar, and the east wall has just collapsed!"

"At this moment, tens of thousands of kingdom warriors have entered the city! They will defeat the last stubborn feathered warriors and sacrifice blood to all the old nobles in the city... especially the Tlaxcala warriors of the Long Snake Legion and the Pray of the Sky Family The Pecha warriors are the bravest and most fearless, the most sacrificing!...Before my eyes, the entire ancient city-state was on fire, and the black and blue walls were covered with dark red blood...And the last Tarasco nobles and The priests of the three gods are all on the circular Yakata pyramid, igniting the stone of the dead, and walking towards burning death!  …”

"Lord God bless! I didn't go to see the encirclement and suppression in the city. It was the leader of the Long Snake Army, Elvi, who was in charge. After the autumn harvest, during the six-month crusade, after the three-way joint attack of the Long Spear Army, the Long Snake Army, and the Guamal tribes... As of today, the 200,000 Prepecha tribes in the entire Chapala Lake District have surrendered or are about to submit to your feet! The tribes in this Lake District have also followed your guidance, and most of them have established villages or flag teams , the little half grants slaves and enfeoffs..."

"Because most of the Prepecha tribes here are here, I gave priority to entrusting a group of senior warriors from Prepecha, and at the same time dispatched a group of Priest Priests from Prepecha. When you first conquered Tarasco , the released captives who converted to the army have already spread the seeds of the Lord God's belief... the Lord God blesses! After military merits granting land and slaves, setting up the Mintun Banner Team, and spreading the Lord God's belief, the situation in the entire lake area should be very good. Get settled soon!..."

"The Lord God bears witness! The feathered prince, who is good at running, once again took 20,000 to 30,000 tribal warriors and young men, and fled westward to the Ameka Valley, three hundred miles away, to take shelter under his father-in-law, a descendant of the Ameka city-state. The lord of the city, under the wings of Kui Riying, the great chief of Yingshan... I asked the chief of Yingshan, but the other party stubbornly and arrogantly refused! The next solution is to continue to conquer the Ameka Valley in the west, and even crusade against even more The tribes of North Tekos in the west have been fighting all the way to the city of Three Rivers by the sea..."

The monkey's letter was very long and detailed, with dozens of pages! He gave a complete account of the Chapala Western Expedition in the past six months, including the rewards and considerations of each general, the disposal and management of each city-state... I don’t know how long the monkey wrote, but every page You can feel his sincerity and loyalty.

Shulot had already read it once, but after reading it for the second time, his heart was still touched, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. It wasn't until he saw the last page that he looked solemn again and remained silent, just like he did when he read it for the first time.

"Your Majesty! The Lake Chapala area has been settled, but the next settlement and disposal are actually quite complicated. In the north are the tribes of Guamal on the wasteland, in the west are the tribes of the unruly North Tekos, and the Prince of Feathers is still going on. Fleeing to the west. And the entire lake area is full of newly returned Prepecha tribes, wilderness tribes, and Tekos tribes, especially the lack of backbone and intermarried Mexica warriors..."

"The situation in Hekou County, the canonization of the god king, I have already asked you to sin once. You did not impose a punishment, but your monkeys have been panicking... I thought about it, thinking about the situation in Hekou County and Lake Chapala , Thinking of the Lance Corps of the Mexica and the Serpent Corps of the Tlaxcalans, I gradually came up with a clever idea like a 'spirit monkey'!..."

"Respected Lord God, witness my loyalty! Your Majesty, I make a bold request to you!..."
