"Asuka!"
Liu Perun shouted to the navy who followed him.
More than 300 crew members who sailed with Liu Perun on the Brilliant voyage in the past also followed him again this time.
But before they were just crew members.
But this time, each of them has their own ship and holds important positions such as captain, first mate, chief maintenance engineer, etc.
Feiniao is the most outstanding among them. Now he has been promoted from military prince to general. He is one of the six generals of the navy, second only to Liu Perun, the commander of the navy.
During this voyage, Asuka, as a naval admiral, commanded five thousand naval forces to provide military support and ensure the safety of everyone on the voyage.
"exist!"
"Pick a few people to show your bravery!"
"promise!"
"Zhao Qian goes out on the wall."
"Horse fighting demonstration!"
"promise!"
At Asuka's roll call, two navy soldiers came out.
Although the Navy does not have as much equestrian training as the Army, it is located in the north and horse riding is a required course. Therefore, although the Navy may not be as good at horse fighting as the Army, it can still be performed.
The two ran to the place where the horses were stored and brought in two prairie horses.
These horses are all stallions and have not been gelded, but fortunately they are still docile and the two of them can handle them.
After laying out a blanket, the two of them each held a wooden stick and stood on both sides of the square.
Under the curious eyes of all the Mayan nobles, they controlled the prairie horses and started running around the square.
Increase the speed little by little.
The eyes of all the Mayan nobles and priests were wide-eyed.
Although the prairie horse is short, its weight is there. As the speed increases, the sound of the thump is not small.
Facing a wild beast running in front of you, few people can stand firm if they have not received professional training.
This is also the reason why cavalry can bring great pressure to people when they charge into battle.
The speed was almost the same. Zhao Qian and Zhou Bi looked at each other, clamped the horse's belly, and pushed forward with all their strength.
"kill!"
Two people and two horses sprinted and crossed each other.
The swing of the wooden stick made a huge noise, and the warriors among the Mayan nobles clicked their tongues.
If he were beaten like this by them, he would probably be dead.
All the nobles were shocked.
It suddenly became an important weapon for horses.
"Okay, okay!"
The high priest is even more so. He has already thought of the scene where Mayan warriors rode this kind of creature called a horse and defeated the surrounding tribes that did not fall into the arms of Kaxu God.
"This is a gift from the gods. It is a testimony of the friendship brought to the Mayans by the son of the gods in charge of the supreme authority in the east!"
"Thank you to Kaxu God, thank you to God, thank you to the generous son of God!"
The high priest took the lead in chanting.
A dozen priests and nobles around him also chanted.
Seeing the change in Maya's expression, Liu Perun nodded secretly.
The high priests were chanting, but the duel between the two knights in the square continued.
After several rounds, the temporary wooden sticks could no longer withstand the force and shattered in the final battle.
"good!"
"Wonderful!"
"What a strong warrior!"
"."
After the demonstration by Zhao Qian and Zhou Bi, a group of Mayan nobles and priests cheered.
The high priest even whispered a few words to a young priest.
The latter ran back to the palace of the high priest and fetched two colorful gems.
"Thank you to the two warriors for your gladiatorial battle. You made us realize the preciousness of horses. This is a gift from God Kaxu. Please accept it."
The young priest sent two gems to Zhao Qian and Zhou Bi.
The two of them couldn't understand Mayan and didn't know what to do, so they could only look at Liu Perun for help.
"Take it."
Liu Perun nodded calmly.
The two of them accepted the gems and saluted with fists in front of the nobles and priests.
Then send the horses back to their original places and return to their respective teams.
"You made a lot of money, two gems!"
Around them, their colleagues cast mocking glances.
Liu Perun led a prairie horse in front of the high priest.
"This time my king asked me to bring over 700 stallions, all of which are of the best blood. It only takes Maya a few years to expand the number of horses and select from them more suitable for riding. A battle horse.”
"War horse?"
The high priest learned a new message.
Liu Perun nodded.
"War horses, war horses are different from ordinary horses. They need extra training and need to be castrated so that during battle, the horses will obey the rider's command more."
"Oh, mysterious knowledge, Liu, no matter what, you have to teach us the techniques of raising and training horses, and we will also give you treasures in exchange."
"Hey, this is a testimony of friendship. How can you use treasures as a trade-off? Don't worry, the high priest, I will also teach you the techniques."
Liu Perun smiled knowingly.
The free ones are the most expensive.
"But High Priest, the skills of raising and taming horses are not as small as the wheel. Raising and taming horses is a university subject. It is really difficult for me to translate it here. Why don't you give me some people and I will teach them how to use it." What do you say?"
"Qiyan?"
The high priest glanced at Liu Perun.
Liu Perun chuckled and said,
"In order to have better communication between the two tribes, the more people who are familiar with the languages of the two tribes, the better. What does the high priest think?"
"Um"
"That's the truth. Okay, Liu, I will let my successor Dumu lead the priests to learn Qi Yan. As for the nobles, it's up to you."
The high priest almost penetrated Liu Perun's mind.
Although his knowledge may not be very broad, his wisdom is definitely higher than anyone present.
Ever since Liu Perun first came to the land of Maya, the high priest knew that there was a country far beyond them on the other side.
That's why he was so polite to Liu Perun.
However, it was Liu Perun's subsequent series of friendly gestures that made the high priest think that the country was friendly, so he approved of him marrying Swanxi, the most dazzling star of the Mayans.
Otherwise, how could they agree to a foreigner marrying her.
But now, the high priest is more determined in his thoughts.
The people who came to inform him of Liu Perun's arrival earlier also said that this time there were not hundreds of people like last time. Now, there are hundreds of ships docked at the seaside of the Arunaki tribe, and the number of people is even greater. It's more than ten thousand.
The first time there were hundreds of people, the second time there were tens of thousands of people. No one can guarantee how many people will come next time.
For a country that has the ability to travel far and supports a large number of people to travel, the high priest cannot communicate without caution.
He understood that if these ten thousand people could bring friendship, they could also bring war.
He believes that maintaining friendship is the necessary means to ensure that Maya can still survive.
