Chapter 961

The news of the birth of Shulot's eldest daughter, Light Serpent, quickly spread among the upper echelons of the seashore, especially among the elites of Totonac. Although there is no official announcement of this news, it must not be hidden from the Alliance. As for Xiulot, he didn't want to hide it.

Because, after being deified by the legends of the priests, this newly born blessed child is a powerful legal system for the kingdom to control the seaside, and it is also one of the most powerful supports to stabilize the hearts of all ministries!

"This thousand-mile eastern seashore, the kingdom must be in your hands... and now, the kingdom has been firmly controlled!"

This is the political voice that Xiulot needs to express. The control of the seashore and the access to the east are exactly his bottom line of interests. And after two days of discussions with Yi Cui, the chief priest of the seaside, he finally met Tikalo, a Mayan businessman who was cranky and restless, in the temple of the main god.

"Your Highness! Your most loyal servant, with good news from afar, sincerely sends you..."

With a blank expression, Xiulot stepped into the side hall of the temple. He just gave Ti Kalo a cold look, and then gave orders to the chief guard mercilessly.

"Eckart! Ticaro lied to the kingdom and designed the exploration fleet... Give him sixty lashes! Right in front of the statue of the main god! Live or die!"

Hearing the last sentence "It doesn't matter whether you live or die", the head of the guard, Eckart, raised his brows, and immediately had an idea in his mind. He took the execution whip, drenched in icy salt water, and strode up to Tikalo, a terrified Mayan trader.

"Ah! Ah! Your Highness! I...I didn't, I wasn't..."

"Crack! Crack!..."

"Ah!... Lord God!..."

"Crack! Crack!..."

"Ah!... Heavenly Snake God!..."

Two red-haired warriors, one on the left and the other on the right, took off Tikalo's robe and pressed him on the cold bluestone. Afterwards, Eckart, the head of the guard, looked stern, stretched out his arms, turned his body sideways, and using his feet as the pivot, he swung his long whip vigorously, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air! His movements are extremely skilled, and his position control is also very precise. He avoided the back and waist that could kill a person, and slapped Ti Kalo's buttocks and legs fiercely, leaving blood marks instantly.

"Crack! Ten lashes!"

"ah!"

Every time the heavy whip was swung down, the Mayan merchant Tikalo let out a hysterical scream! With the whip soaked in salt water, only a dozen or so strokes were done, and his skin was torn apart, and his whole body trembled in pain. After the painful whipping, the wound met the salt water, and there was another burning pain, as if it was burning!

"Ah! Stop hitting! Stop hitting!... Your Highness! Please! Please!... Heavenly Snake God!"

Mayan merchant Tikalo struggled violently, like a fish on a chopping board, but was firmly held down by the strong warriors. He had never been subjected to such a painful punishment, even in the dungeon of Priest Papp, the other party intentionally spared his life. But at this moment, facing the "merciless" whipping by the chief guard, thinking of His Highness's cold expression, his wise head was full of pain and fear, and he even howled in Mayan with unknown meaning.

"Ah! Sky Snake!...Ancestor!...Grandfather!...Father!...I, I'm going to see you! Ah!..."

"Crack! Crack!...Thirty lashes!"

"Well…"

The head of the guard, Eckart, was very steady, whip after whip. Hearing Ticaro's screams, each one was weaker than the hoarseness, he quietly loosened some strength in his hands. And at the place where the whip fell, there was almost no piece of good meat, all were hideous scars, even bloodstained!

"Snapped!"

"."

The long whip fell, and blood dripped everywhere. From a distance, Ticaro was covered in blood, motionless, lying on the bluestone slab of the temple, as if he was offering sacrifices.

"The last ten whips!"

In fact, the whipping of the chief guard Eckart was very skillful, and it was one of the ways for the ascetic priests to torture themselves. Such scars are extremely painful, and they look scary, but they are only superficial wounds, and they are not life-threatening at all. And with the strength of the head of the guard, if he really beat him to death, as long as he hit the vital part of his back for a dozen times, Ticaro's internal organs could be bruised, and he would be slapped to death on the spot!

"Crack! Crack!..."

"."

"The lord god testifies! Patriarch, the sixty lashes have been drawn!..."

The head of the guard, Eckart, put away the bloody whip, turned around and bowed his head to return. Shulot looked at Tikalo, who was so angry that he couldn't make a sound, and nodded slightly. Such a deep shock should make this cunning Mayan businessman remember it for a lifetime!

"Tikalo, do you plead guilty?"

".Your Highness...Your Highness...I...I...confess...sin...confess!...the Lord God...witness..."

"Um."

Shulot looked calm, staring at Tikalo's eyes full of tears, at his old face full of snot and tears, and at the blood and whip marks on the other party's body. After a long while, he squatted down, touched Tikalo's divine bald head, and warned sternly.

"The Lord God testifies! Ticaro, you have accepted your guilt. And the benevolent Lord God is willing to give you one last chance!..."

"And if you dare to deceive the kingdom again and make some shady schemes... I will sacrifice you to the Lord God on the altar with my own hands!..."

"Tikalo, do you remember?"

"Ah! I...I...remember...your highness...my...king..."

Ticaro was trembling all over, looking up at the expressionless king, with deep fear in his eyes. At this moment, the pure shadow of the young Xiulot has completely disappeared from his heart. And the only one left is a cold, heartless king who can kill him at any time!

"Um."

Shulot stood up, and then gave orders to the two guards behind him.

"Lord God bless! Treat his wound, use my wound medicine!"

"Yes! Your Highness!..."

After giving all these orders, Shulot turned around and was about to leave the courtyard. Seeing the king who was about to leave, although Ticaro couldn't move in pain, he still shouted with difficulty.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!...the witness of the Lord God! I have...important...information, and I want...to report it to you!..."

"Huh? Say!"

"The... head of the navy of the Snake Holy City... Papu! Priest Papu! He wants to take... the fleet and the boatman... to surrender to you personally!..."

"The head of the navy in Hidden Snake City? The guy who attacked the exploration fleet and captured you?"

Hearing this, Shulot frowned. He walked up to Ti Kalo again, knelt down, looked into the other's eyes, and asked.

"You mean a shipbuilder? What shipbuilder? The Mayan royal shipbuilder you lost?..."

"…Yes."

Mayan trader Tikalo shuddered. Cautiously, he glanced at His Highness's calm face, and replied in a low voice.

"Priest Papu...captured me and let me back...He wants to bring...a fleet of two thousand men, seven galleys, a large number of shipwrights and all the big timber...to surrender to you personally..."

"He promised to prevent... the escape of the chief priest and the descendants of the Hidden Snake City. He is willing to lead the Kingdom Legion into the fortified Hidden Snake City..."

"And his only condition is to surrender himself to you, continue to serve you, and conquer the Mayan land in the east!  …"
