Aztec Eternals

"The Lord God bless you! My master, you have a high status and are responsible for the safety of the world! Even if it is a sacrificial dance dedicated to the Lord God and ancestors, please take care of yourself..."

"That's right! That's right! Your Highness, the ancestors of the royal family probably don't want to see such a dangerous sacrifice... After all, you are the chief priest of the Divine Enlightenment, a venerable person above ten thousand people!... Please give me a thousand thanks Ten thousand, ten thousand, one must cherish the divine body!…”

Under the magnificent pyramid of the Holy City of Teotihuacan, Shulot was surrounded by more than a dozen royal nobles with a relaxed smile on his face. Eckardt, the captain of the guard, looked nervous and held Hulot's arm. Stanley, the giant bear, was sweating all over and stuttered a bit when he spoke. He never thought that His Highness Shulot, who had a distinguished status, could be so brave and not afraid of the threat of death at all!

However, if His Highness Shulot died here, it would not only completely destroy the God King's plan, but also completely intensify the existing conflicts among the nobility within the alliance, and even trigger a civil war throughout the alliance kingdom's nobility... By that time, he would be The sinners of the entire alliance cannot explain it even if they have ten thousand mouths!

"Ahem! Your Highness, the God King has repeatedly called you back to the capital. Maybe you have some misunderstandings... But the God King loves you more than any other royal noble. He not only canonized your eldest son as the Son of the Sun God, but also canonized the eldest princess. As the Sun Goddess, I am also planning to canonize you as the Wolf Father of Death, with a status far above that of many sect chief priests and royal princes..."

"Oh? The God King wants to canonize me and become the Wolf Father of Death? Is my position higher than that of the sect chief priest and prince?..."

Hearing this, Shulot looked surprised, thoughtful, and silent. Although the giant bear Stanley is good at fighting and brave, he still does not understand the subtleties of these religious beliefs.

The Sun God is the most noble priest of the main god, and the God of Death is just one of the subordinate gods who protects the sun. After Avit ascended to the throne of the Sun God Queen, and then canonized Alyssa and Xiuhua, it meant that the inheritance of the alliance's sun divinity was a direct inheritance along Avit's line. And this inheritance of the sun's divinity naturally means the inheritance of the alliance's inheritance rights!

According to the league's deified propaganda a few years ago, he is the new sun, and Avitt is the noon sun. But after the death of the elder and grandfather, Avit ascended to the throne of God, and he became the wolf father of death and the father of the newborn sun. You know, in ancient Mexica mythology, the black wolf of death is the messenger who guards the rising sun and is the morning star in the sky. And when the sun rises, the morning star will recede...

The subtleties of this, the high priests who are proficient in religious scriptures, and the royal elders who have experienced the inheritance of the ancestor Montezuma from generation to generation, can naturally understand... In other words, isn't this just to make him " "Eight Wise Kings"...

"Witness the Lord God! Praise the King of God for his love! ... Dear Commander of the Eagle Legion, the ancestor's sacrifice has been completed, let us continue on the road! ..."

The spring breeze on the shores of Lake Texcoco blows through the vibrant fields and the city-states along the lakeside. Five thousand troops walked along the wide road along the river. The endless Milpa dry fields and the Chinampa floating fields, which symbolized prosperity, spread out on both sides of the crowd!

There is no doubt that the Texcoco Lake area in the Mexica Valley is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Central America, and even in North and South America! In this piece of land, which is only 20,000 square kilometers, there are 1.5-2 million Mexicans gathered, which is the real core of the entire Mexican Alliance. In the later state of Mexico, it supported 15 million people and was also the core and richest metropolitan area!

With the continuous expansion of the Mexican Alliance, the continuous foreign conquests have plundered sufficient wealth, materials and captives from the lake area at the core of the world. The increase and use of bronze vessels significantly increased the productivity of the entire lake area. Those tens of thousands of civilians who were drafted for labor, and tens of thousands of prisoners of war who were guarded and supervised, even built an entire paved road around the lake area in four or five years!

As for the relocation of nobles and commoners, it has alleviated the contradiction between people and land in the lake area, further strengthened the control of the alliance center, and made the trade and transportation in the lake area no longer blocked...

"God bless me! After four and a half years of eastward expedition, I returned to my hometown of the Lake District, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous!..."

"Exactly, exactly! The God King built roads through the lake area, strengthened the dams in various places, popularized metal tools, and established more Chinampa paddy fields... These are precious suggestions that you have repeatedly mentioned to the God King before. Passed!"

The giant bear Stanley looked around, looking at the lakes and dry fields in the surrounding areas, the busy villagers everywhere, the roads used by the legions, and the groups of boats shuttled on the water, with a sincere smile on his face.

This area of ​​Lake Texcoco, which was not affected by the war of expansion and even became more prosperous during the war of expansion, is the real foundation for the Mexica to rule the world. And to support tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of legion expeditions, there must be abundant food supply in the lake area! To be honest, the road to Totonak's Eastern Expedition under Xiulote was so difficult and the distance was so far away. If there had been no logistical blood transfusion from the Alliance at the very beginning, I am afraid that even an expeditionary Black Wolf Legion would not have been able to support it...

"Witness the Lord God! The capital city in the lake is coming soon, and the spectacular seven-bridge ring embankment is right in front of you!...His Royal Highness Shulot, the immortal elder, once presided over the construction and reclamation of the entire capital city in the lake for the late king Montezuma, The seven bridges and embankments of the capital were built, and the great sacred and immortal temple was built..."

"Now that you have come to the capital, the God-King has the same expectations for you! The God-King's ambition is far greater than that of the late king Montezuma, and he wants to build the entire Texcoco Lake area into a lake-like Just like Zhongdu City, the kingdom of God on earth has reached its peak of prosperity!... And you, the divinely inspired one, should enjoy the status that the elder once had, and also enjoy the same power of construction..."

"Oh? Build dams, build roads, cultivate fields, expand temples...just like elders assisting the ancestors, taking care of logistics and infrastructure...Is this what the God King expects of me? Is he willing to give me some things to keep busy?... "

Shulot's eyes flashed, looking at Stanley with a sincere face, thinking in his heart. These words were not something the other party could easily promise. They must have been relayed by Avitt to appease him in advance. And these comforting words may also be related to his sacrificial dance on the Moon Pyramid, fearing that he would do something extreme...

"Okay! Praise the Lord God! Praise the God King too! Of course I am happy to fulfill the God King's expectations for me! And my loyalty and respect for the God King have never changed..."

After a few breaths, Shulot smiled and nodded in agreement, his face also full of sincerity.

Soon, the sparkling waves of the great lake shone in front, and the spectacular white stone capital appeared in the southern sky! And when the Seven Bridges and the Ring Embankment appeared, three thousand royal regiments stopped at the village by the lake, and a thousand royal guards also had to stop here. As for the next, the only ones who can enter the capital city in the lake are a thousand noble battle groups and dozens of Shulot's personal guards.

"Holy Father Wolf, God of Death, revered chief priest of the Lake Sect, and respected His Highness Shulot! The God King ordered me to wait here and lead you straight into the capital and to the God King's Palace for an audience!..."
