Aztec Eternals

"God has arrived! He incarnates into blood-colored eyes in the sky, watching you! Watching your blood oath and conversion!..."

The "Eye of the God" with blood-colored patterns hangs high in the sky, and the "huge eye" with a diameter of several meters looks down on everything on the ground, as if the real Lord God is watching! Seeing such an incredible "miracle", all the leaders of the jungle tribes were horrified. They prostrated themselves on the ground and howled in horror and awe.

"Ah! Those in the sky are the eyes of God! The main god of the Mexica people has actually appeared!"

"Those bloody eyes! So tall! So big!...The Lord God, the Lord God has really arrived?!..."

"Quetzalcoatl! Could it be that...the main god of the Mexica people is the real god? He can descend into an incarnation..."

The launch of a hot air balloon from the Chalcolithic Age is so mysterious and so shocking! And whenever such a "miracle" appears, even the most stubborn and unruly leader, no matter how firmly he adheres to the faith of the old gods, will fall helpless under the pyramid, with the awe of the Lord God imprinted in his mind, and a sense of awe in his heart. Plant the seeds of faith!

It is precisely for this reason that most of the rubber production of the Kingdom in the Lake is used to try to make larger and larger hot air balloons to further increase the grandeur of the "Eye of the Gods". After burning down and crashing hot air balloons more than ten times, the manufacturing process of the Kingdom of God's Apocalypse in the Lake has gradually matured. With great expectations, the divine priests began to try to build a large hot air balloon that could carry people, so that the relatively thin main priest could fly into the sky for a short time!

And if such a living flight, such a "miracle of liftoff" could occur and be seen by countless tribesmen, the effect of spreading the faith of the Lord God would be incredible!

"Witness the Lord God! 'Feudal superstition' is the advanced productive force, the ruling foundation of the Kingdom of the Lake and the Mexica Alliance's theocracy, and the most important ruling foundation!..."

Shulot raised the staff high and looked down at the people kneeling under the pyramid, feeling emotional in his heart.

Whether it is an alliance or a kingdom, the legitimacy of their current rule actually comes from "gods", or more precisely, from the "supreme god". As for the form of governance established, it was to replace the ancient tribal system with a more advanced feudal system, to achieve centralization in the core areas, and to establish enfeoffments in remote border areas, inland jungles and mountains...

"Blessed by the Lord God! These Jungle Totonak tribes and Jungle Sauk tribes are all scattered and concentrated in the depths of the jungle hundreds or even thousands of miles inland... With the level of roads in the tropical jungles of this era, it is impossible to directly control them. It is impossible for these large and small jungle tribes to do it. But for them to convert to the faith of the main god, accept the ancient holy city as a holy land, and regard the Kingdom of the Lake as their suzerain is the current limit!"

"Further on, we will gradually control the inland river areas along the big rivers flowing from north to south, and establish a series of large and small feudal states in the jungle to realize the transformation from tribe to feudalism... And the first one to bear the brunt is the hidden people. The Hidden Snake River outside Snake City, the Sunrise River in Sunrise Village, and the Red River in Honghu Town..."

Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at the smallness under the pyramid, and patiently waiting for the miraculous rise and fall of the hot air balloon. The high-pitched prayers and hymns of the priests of the main god are echoing throughout the ancient Olmec ruins!

The rows of abandoned temples and observatories, and the mottled bluestone walls, are filled with strange snakes, birds, and jaguars. And right here, just three thousand years ago, the original Olmec city-state flourished, composing the first flames of the savage era!

"It's just that this nascent flame, after burning for three thousand years, has the possibility of starting a prairie fire with my appearance!... I must lead them, just like a true great prophet!..."

Shulot murmured, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination. Then, he raised the staff again and shouted loudly.

"God has arrived! Blood is an oath to surrender to the Lord God! Life is a tribute to the Lord God!... Come, bring blood sacrifices! Revered descendant of Moonwater God, Crocodile King Ayin!"

"Honor the Lord God and sacrifice the crocodile king Ayin!"

The shouts came down from the high pyramids. The priests first shouted in Mexica, then in Totonac language of the Nahua branch, and finally in Sauk language, which was similar to the Mayan dialect. When they heard "Sacrifice Crocodile King Ayin" and heard the familiar name of the descendant of God, the many tribal leaders under the pyramid, especially the leaders of the Jungle Sok tribe, most of them were trembling in their hearts, their knees were weak, and they were in awe again. deepen.

Last autumn, after the Mexica Death Temple attacked the Holy City of the Hidden Snake and destroyed the oldest and sacred city-state of Totonac, they sent envoys to the Jungle Totonak and Jungle Sauk tribes to hold an Orl ceremony at the end of November. Mek Festival!

However, in that ceremony, although each tribe sent people and brought tributes, they nominally showed their respect for the powerful alliance... But among the jungle Totonak and Sok tribes, they really chose to convert to the main god. , The only people who obey the Kingdom in the Lake are the Jungle Totonak tribes who have actually witnessed the Eastern Expedition and know the strength of the Kingdom.

These jungle Totonak tribes have always had close ties with the coastal Totonak tribes, intermarried with each other, and also sent troops to fight against the Kingdom's Eastern Expedition Corps. They knew the kingdom's powerful force and were willing to join the new Totonac Coastal Alliance. They are also willing to accept the faith of the main god and accept the guidance of the priests of the main god, but retain most of the autonomy of the leader...

The surrender of the Totonak tribes in these jungles also means that the nominal control range of the new Coastal Alliance extends five hundred miles southward into the jungle. The vast coastal alliance has had real trade and contact with the Zapotec tribes in the Oaxaca Valley and the Zapotec coast.

The Oaxaca Valley is the main open-pit copper producing area in southern Central America and one of the only two copper producing areas in Central America that has been exploited. The Zapotec tribes here have used brass and red copper ware for hundreds or even thousands of years, but they have never developed bronze casting technology, and it is the same now.

At this moment, along with the New Year's sacrifices and tributes, the first batch of bronze wares from the Oaxaca Valley have flowed to the coast, and were re-added with lead and tin by the kingdom's craftsmen to be cast into bronze weapons used by warriors! Compared with transporting bronze from the kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, this copper channel is much faster and more convenient, and there is no need to go through the alliance's territory...

"Ah! O Serpent God! O Quetzalcoatl! Ancestor of the moon and sea!... The Mexica people who believe in evil gods came from the northwest, covering the jungle and coast with blood and darkness! And the ship carrying the gems The fleet is the evil god’s initial gaze, the claws and claws of the evil wolf! I, the crocodile king Ayin, should never have let go of that spying gem fleet in the first place!…”

Ayin, the crocodile king with snake hair and long head, shouted unwillingly and let out a desperate howl. He has the respected bloodline of the Moonwater Goddess and is the supreme ruler of all city-states and villages among the more than 100,000 tribes in Honghu Town! The revered Moonwater Gods rule the estuary of the Red River. They intermarry with the Sauk tribes in the upper reaches and the Totonak tribes in the west. They are a family of Gods that have been passed down for hundreds of years!

Ever since the Mexicans crossed the Golden Bay City during their eastern expedition, the crocodile king Ayin has been paying attention to the news from the west. It was not until Hidden Snake City was destroyed that he felt the real threat and horror. He immediately sent an envoy to pay tribute to the "Black Wolf Chief" who attacked Hidden Snake City.

However, the brutal Black Wolf Chief ignored his messenger. Instead, he suddenly appeared on the western jungle coast with thunder and flames, large ships and roaring volcanic legions, and appeared on the west side of Red Lake Town. The seemingly solid Red Lake Town barely resisted for ten days amidst the thunder and flames thrown at it, before being invaded by the Totonac warriors who feared no death! The descendants of the Moonwater Gods who have been respected for generations have all become captives and are now being sacrificed on the pyramid to the evil god of the Mexica...

"Ah! Ancestors of the moon and sea! The strength and greed of the Mexica people will never end! They are the minions of the evil god, the ancient evil wolves who can never have enough to eat!"

Before dragging the sacrificial stone to the top of the pyramid, the crocodile king Ayin opened his mouth full of snake teeth and gems, and let out his last shrill cry in the Mayasok language of the jungle.

"O leaders of the Sok tribes! The day I, Ayin, sacrifice today is the day you will perish tomorrow!..."
