Aztec Eternals

In mid-February, the Portuguese fleet continued to sail cautiously westward along the territory of the "East Stone Alliance" and the "Muggle Coast". In order to confirm the information he had received before, Bruno captured the local East Stone Taino people several times, and the answer he got was still exactly the same!

The prophecy of the white-skinned evil demon had long been spread throughout the "Five Major Alliances" on the entire island of Haiti. The symbols of the "evil demon" are "white skin, big beard", "big ship, thunder magic weapon", "cross, gold"! …

"Damn it! This damn 'Satanic prophecy' is everywhere on the 'Big Island of Haiti' as the natives call it!... When these natives see us, they either run or resist... There is no way to communicate properly, and it is even difficult to supply food!..."

"Fortunately, these local natives have no courage to attack. At most, they mobilize the tribe's men to defend with simple weapons! They did not suddenly attack with paddle boats as Columbus's crew said... If we reached the Big Island of 'Sipangu' further west, it would definitely be more dangerous, with enemies almost everywhere!"

"Well... Columbus recorded that at 25 degrees north latitude, the 'Bahamas' Islands, the natives there are kind and docile... Perhaps, we should turn northwest and sail directly to the Bahamas?... Or, find a suitable reason to return?..."

Confirming the true existence of the "White Skin Prophecy", Bruno frowned and had the idea of ​​returning for the first time. It was hard for him to imagine that with the spread of this prophecy, what native tribe would be willing to communicate and cooperate with them? Unless... according to the experience of the southern continent, that tribe encountered a big trouble and urgently needed support from the outside world, so it didn't care? ...

With this idea in mind, Bruno tried again to inquire about the situation of the various tribes on the island. Then, he finally heard an exciting news when he left the East Stone Alliance and entered the border of the West Stone Alliance at around 20 degrees north latitude!

"What! Your East Japan Alliance is fighting with the two tribes in the south?... What 'West Japan' and 'China Japan Stone' are allied together to seize your water sources and fields?!... What, you are at a disadvantage, and all kinds of bad news are coming?!..."

Bruno was very excited. As long as there is chaos and fighting on the big island, as long as there are contradictions and hatred among the natives... then the Kingdom of Portugal will have a foothold, and there will be opportunities to provoke disputes among the natives and profit from it! And at this moment, such a weak party is the best trading partner, or even the partner of alliance!

In the original history, Columbus encountered the Santa Maria's grounding after arriving at the West Stone Alliance. Then, he successfully made an alliance with the West Stone Sun Chief, who was eager for foreign aid, and let him convert to Catholicism! Then, he left a ship of people here and established the first temporary port base of Spain in the entire Americas, Fort Navidad...

"God bless you! Very good, very good!... Tell me, where is your Sun Chief now? Four days' voyage to the west, around the cape, is the Marien tribe?... Very good! Matim, give him a small gift and send him off!..."

This time, there were no screams on the ship, and there was no killing, which was rare. The Portuguese fleet really sent the captured West Stone people off the ship in a friendly manner, and let him take away some shining glass beads. The fleet's supplies were really running out, and Bruno urgently needed to find a safe supply site and communicate and trade with the natives.

Along the way, starting from the Lesser Antilles, there was almost no proper supply. Needless to say, the natives in the Caribbean were "violently non-cooperative" and would fight whenever they met. After finally arriving at the island of Haiti, the natives here were obviously more gentle, but they were also "non-violently non-cooperative". When they met, they either ran away or huddled up like hedgehogs...

Without the supply of the native tribes, the ocean-going fleet would be in a very troublesome state. The lack of food required a lot of time to fish, which led to slow movement. There was no shortage of fresh water for coastal navigation, but there was the risk of being attacked by the natives and stopping at the river to replenish.

As for the local hydrological conditions, due to the lack of locally recruited guides, they had to survey and map them themselves. They had to beware of the reefs along the coast and could not sail too fast. The fleet would even enter the dead-end bay as before, putting itself in great danger...

Therefore, obtaining the support of a local native tribe was extremely critical in the initial exploration, and it was also the golden rule of Portuguese maritime exploration! Even if the fleet wants to return now, it must first replenish sufficient food to support them to sail into the deep sea of ​​the barren desert!

"The Lord is a witness! Keep vigilant! When anchored at night, you must stay away from the native tribes and their coasts!..."

"Yes! Captain!..."

The sun sets and rises, and the two-day voyage passes in a hurry. The Portuguese fleet anchored once and had another "friendly contact" with the local Xishi tribe alliance. The fleet further confirmed the plight of the Xishi tribe, and there is a possibility of communication and alliance with the fight between the two southern tribes...

Before sunset on the third day, they finally arrived at the northwest Cape of Haitien. This is the closest location to the island of Cuba on the entire island of Haiti! From here to the easternmost corner of Cuba in the west, it is only less than 200 miles! And from the easternmost corner of Cuba to Tiewan Town in the center of the east, it is less than 500 miles!

"Lord! According to the natives, across this strait... is 'Sipangu Cuba', the big island of the native kingdom that Columbus arrived at?..."

The Portuguese exploration fleet anchored at the cape, and the setting sun emitted a deep and bright red light on the western sea. This magnificent wonder in the Caribbean, in Bruno's eyes, seemed to foreshadow great mystery and danger!

"Satan opened his mouth wide, waiting for us to walk into it, just like the violent Jotun giants (frost giants) in mythology..."

"Lord! If I had a powerful kingdom navy in my hands, I would not be afraid of the devil's threats! But now..."

"In order to open up new routes, in order to bring back news of the New World to His Majesty... We must not fall into the devil's trap and rashly sail to Sipangu Cuba!..."

Bruno sighed with regret, and did his best to protect himself for the sake of the kingdom and the Lord. Then, without hesitation, he looked at Knight Silveira, who bowed his head and remained silent for a while and was also afraid of the devil's power, and gave a decisive order.

"Turn southwest! Continue to sail along this 'mountainous Haitian island'! Next, be alert and restrain all the sailors! When we reach the natives' Marion Tribe, everyone must show their friendly side, but no one is allowed to go ashore rashly, let alone leak the fleet's information!..."

"Did you hear it?!..."

"Yes! Captain!..."

"Silveira?"

"Yes! Sir!..."

"Guide Shushu?"

"Yes! Chief Capitan!..."

"Very good! Then set off again! After we get enough food from the natives, we will go directly south! Avoid the damn island chain of the Caribbean 'hornet' and sail directly to the new continent in the south!... May God bless you!..."

With the existing information, in the foggy map, Bruno is like the most vigilant Portuguese white stork. He avoided the most dangerous Snake Island in Cuba, and also avoided the important town of Iron Bay, 700 miles away, where a large number of galleys gathered.

He didn't know that just five days ago, three Taino boats set out from here, rowing westward with all their might, and delivered the news of the arrival of the "white-skinned demon" to the island of Cuba!

And this almost uninterrupted transmission speed on the island of Haiti was due to the arrangement of a main god priest! He was also the only main god priest on the entire island of Haiti, secretly paying attention to the traces of the Portuguese fleet, very close...
