Aztec Eternals

"Set sail early tomorrow morning?...Ah, this...is this too hasty?...Boss...I and the leader have already agreed...200 gold ducats..."

"Ahem! Dear Martin Scholar, your suggestion is indeed very reasonable! ... We have indeed stayed here for too long, and it is too dangerous... But the fleet still needs to replenish some food. On the last day, something unexpected may happen. Not much...How about this, the fleet will make one last transaction with the natives tomorrow, then stay the night, and leave after the transaction in the afternoon?..."

"Captain Bruno, now that you have made up your mind and the boatswain has made his attitude clear...I can't say anything else, let alone dare not say anything else!...Just for safety's sake, why not change the anchorage to another place before nightfall?" Sail a little further into the deep sea, and then extinguish all the torches...be more cautious, and everyone's lives will be more protected..."

"God bless you! What you said is right! Then turn due west and go 1.5 leagues (14.4 kilometers) deep into the sea... At night, not only the torches are extinguished, but also two sentries are set up to take turns on duty!..."

"Well, everything is up to you, captain...May the Lord bless us!..."

The temptation of gold was right in front of them, like an invisible whirlpool, making it difficult for the Portuguese fleet to leave decisively. But the scholar warned of the danger, and Bruno became more cautious.

On the one hand, he notified the sailors of his decision to return tomorrow and reiterated the discipline of the fleet, which would not allow any sailor to leave the ship without permission. On the other hand, he rearranged the berthing position and warning, and cunningly arranged Silvera's auxiliary ship closer to the shore to provide an additional early warning for the flagship.

Night came, and the dark shadow covered the sky and swallowed up the sailor's vision. On the deep sea, there are no lights, and the indistinct sailboat cannot be seen clearly. It was an extremely long night. Sushu waited uneasily all night until he fell asleep at dawn, but nothing happened. And when the old carpenter Ivo slapped his cheek, he suddenly woke up, his eyes widened in fear, and sudden laughter rang in his ears.

"Shushu, you guy, why are you so timid, like a frightened quail?... It's time to get up! Your tribesmen working on the deck have already cleaned the deck twice... Captain Haroldo has an order , you will be the translator later and accompany him off the ship... Tsk tsk! The sailors participating in the trade will get extra shares... You are really prosperous these days..."

"Entendi! Deus abenoe! I understand! God bless you!…"

"Haha! You guy... is really interesting!..."

The tropical sun rises brightly into the sky. The Portuguese fleet also arrived at the coast of the native village again. Some native militiamen have been waiting on the beach where the deal was agreed for a long time.

After a brief exchange, a pair of bright plate armor with gleaming iron was lifted up by two strong sailors, unloaded from the flagship in a small boat, and then transported to the shore in the small boat. Then, this armor with graceful arcs, like a masterpiece created by the devil, attracted everyone's attention and made everyone marvel!

"Lord! This is?...the knight's plate armor?..."

"Damn it! Where did Bruno get this valuable plate armor and sell it to the natives? Is it true?...Ah! This bold guy is bolder than me!...I, Silvera, have to go find him personally ! No matter what, he also gave me a share of gold!"

"How strange is it? How come there is plate armor on the flagship?... Is this also a commodity shipped for trading? Why have I never seen it before..."

"Hush! This is 'goods' that only the captain can use... It was given by His Majesty. It was originally intended to be given to... cough!..."

Boatswain Harold looked over, and the talkative sailor immediately shut his mouth. Later, under the attention of many native warriors and militiamen, he personally put on this set of plate armor to demonstrate the true symbol of force of knights in the entire European world, that extremely strong defense!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Quartermaster Mattim wielded his sailor's scimitar and kept chopping on the front and sides of the plate armor, on the steel helmet, steel arm armor, and the same steel leg armor! However, no matter how hard he slashed, the plate armor Haroldo wore could withstand the slashing attack intact!

The designed arcs on the steel surface can not only deflect the blade diagonally, but also greatly absorb the impact caused by the split. It is the pinnacle of armor design in this era! …

".Lord God! This is...the strongest armor of the evil demon prophesied by the Lord God?...Is that what kind of 'plate armor'?..."

Seeing the defensive power of the plate armor, the leader of the tribe was stunned and stunned, and the armored warriors also widened their eyes. Even the "ordinary militia" looked surprised, even a little horrified!

This armor is definitely beyond everyone's imagination. It is not afraid of cuts and axes. Except for some gaps in the neck and joints, there are almost no flaws!

To break such perfect armor, in addition to bombarding with heavy matchlocks, or using heavy crossbows and armor-piercing arrows at close range... I am afraid the only way is to use heavy hammers to smash, or wait for the plate armor warriors to exhaust their stamina, and then find a way to kill the opponent. Put down.

And if there is a group of warriors charging into battle wearing such plate armor, even if there are only a few dozen, that would be unimaginable power! How difficult is it to defeat these armored warriors before their physical strength is exhausted? !

At this moment, the "ordinary militiaman" was suddenly distracted. He truly witnessed the power of the evil demons, and he also truly understood that the evil demon prophecy recorded in Shenwei University was not exaggerated at all. When he finally came back to his senses, the transaction on the beach on the shore had entered the stage of counting the gold.

A gold half-main god amulet in exchange for such a "ballast" treasure is definitely worth the money!

And in these five days, the two white-skinned evil demon sailboats have traded 41 standard scimitars, 10 muskets, 10 breastplates, 1 set of refined leather armor, 1 two-pound cannon, 1 set of knight plate armor... Almost all the military supplies on their ships were traded out. And the price the kingdom paid was only 5 gold talismans, a mere 5 kilograms of gold! This kind of transaction to strengthen the kingdom's military power is really a good deal! What's more, can this evil demon fleet leave with gold? Still an unknown number...

"Ahem! God of War of Huitzilopo, bless us!..."

"Lord God bless us!..."

The ordinary militia answered softly. Then, he looked at the white-skinned boatswain who was checking the purity of the gold, took out a huge sea clam from his arms, and stuffed it into Shushu's arms.

"Huh? What is this?..."

"This is a pearl oyster, with a big pearl inside! If our conversation is discovered again... you take this out and say it's my return gift to you to thank you! As long as they open the oyster to take the pearl, they will be distracted and will not suspect you..."

The ordinary militia quickly explained a few words. Then, he asked in a low voice without changing his expression.

"Where did you anchor last night? We sent a small scout boat, but we couldn't find your location."

"Ah! There is a white-skinned Eduduzo on the ship. He is a shaman of high status and is very vigilant!... He temporarily changed the anchoring location and asked to leave as soon as possible... After trading this set of plate armor today and replenishing food... the fleet will leave in the evening!..."

"What? The fleet will leave in the evening without staying overnight?!..."

Hearing this answer, the ordinary militiaman's expression obviously changed, showing a little anxiety. He looked at the dozen warriors scattered around, and then looked at the three or four white-skinned demons who got off the ship to trade.

At present, it is easy to capture these sailors who landed, but to capture the demons' fast sailing ships, to capture these extremely flexible and vigilant prey? There are only two ways: ambush in dangerous places or sneak attack at night!

After all, on such an open sea, chasing a well-trained demon sailing ship... With the quality of the kingdom's sailors, it is probably difficult to catch up! Unless they also plunged into the lagoon bay like the reckless demon fleet before and were blocked by the kingdom fleet...

"Lord God bless! Can you delay the fleet for another day? Even a night is fine... For example, more gold?..."

"Uh... They like gold very much, but there is nothing to exchange on the ship. The white-skinned shaman seems to have become a little wary and suspicious... Oh! I remember, they seem to be looking for something, a book made of white leaves, with square symbols and totem paintings, which is said to be from the East and is a treasure specially requested by their king! If there is such a thing, it is possible to drag it onto the fleet for another day..."

"White leaves? Books? Square symbols? Paintings?... Uh! Are you talking about the books printed by the kingdom?..."

The ordinary militia guessed what Shushu was talking about after a little thought. But the only book distributed by the kingdom on Cuba and Haiti is the Kingdom's "Ali Sutra"!

But how did the white-skinned demon know this scripture? What do they want to do with this book of the Lord God? Or is it a treasure that their king specifically requested? This is too strange! They can't be converting to the Lord God, right? ... In addition, why is it in the East? The kingdom is clearly in the West...

"What is the book? I don't know... But they repeatedly said that there must be a 'square symbol'! The rest, it seems, doesn't matter..."

"Square characters? Well... I'll arrange someone to test it..."

The ordinary militia nodded slightly, and then looked at the white-skinned sailor who was about to finish inspecting the gold. He then sped up his speech and finally gave an order.

"Tonight, as long as you can find a place to stop the ship, you will..."

"If you have the opportunity, light a torch, even if it's just for a moment, and let the fire show in the dark night..."

"But if you don't have the opportunity... Don't scare the birds away..."

"... Don't look back, someone is looking over... Raise the pearl oyster in your hand and open it to see the pearls inside! Look very happy... Yes, that's it!"

"Lord God bless you! If everything goes well, we will see each other soon!..."
