Autumn is crisp, the weather is getting cooler, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. In late October, the last full royal legion finally set off from the Tree Snake City, surrounded by the flag of the Mexica King commanded by the evil spirits.
"Xiuluote, when I return to the capital, I will personally go to the Sun Temple in the Holy Mountain to pray for little Xiuhua!"
Avit was wearing royal robes and carrying the royal flag, standing in the middle of the bronze-armored warriors. When he mentioned his grandson, a sincere smile appeared on his cold face.
"Well, I will also arrange for the royal physician to keep an eye on Xiao Xiuhua's health at all times. He will be a new sacred tree that will thrive under the light of the sun!"
"Xiuhua, my son..."
Hearing this, Shulot looked to the west, with deep anticipation, deep worry, and an uneasy fatherly love on his face. In this day and age, the probability of young children dying is too high. Fortunately, the alliance's herbal medicine is very advanced, and there will never be any "humor therapy" used in Europe during this period.
"...You are the spirit of light, a gift from the Lord God. I am willing to exchange my life for your healthy growth!"
Shulot held the sun amulet and prayed sincerely for a moment. Later, he sent two personal Prepecha doctors to return to the capital with the royal regiment.
"God bless you!"
"The Lord God will surely bless you!"
Avitt smiled confidently, then turned and left. Eight thousand royal legions guarded the supreme king, and the general's dead dog accompanied him on his way back to the west. The bronze armor is like a mirror, the bronze spear is like a forest, the long bow is like a vine, and the warriors are like mountains and seas, all declaring the unstoppable royal force!
At the end of the eight thousand royal regiment were the newly formed two thousand imperial guards. The turquoise general Texihuit shaved his hair and lowered his head slightly, walking among the elite guards. He was wearing leather armor, holding a bronze spear in his hand, and a long bow on his back. He looked extremely capable. Beside him were several guards in the same attire, all from the Sourwood Legion.
"The mountains are stacked on top of each other, reaching into the clouds..."
Turquoise Tessie Whitt stopped and looked north at the rolling hills. In that mountain, there is the towering Yunshe Mountain City, and perhaps the archer who escaped and ascended to heaven.
"Dear Captain Turquoise, it's time for us to go!"
"Yeah. Let's go!"
As a famous warrior in the city-state and the warrior chief of Jotiko's family, Texihuit was not only extremely brave, but also had the ability to command thousands of warriors. Now, he serves as the squad leader of the Broken Hair Guards, managing a hundred-man team from the Sourwood City State. It can be said that he can easily conquer people's hearts.
"Praise the Lord God for his blessing, praise the king for his generosity!...Spruce Xochikalo, I will definitely find out the truth about that night!"
Tessie Whitt looked up at the sky and prayed silently to the sun. Then, he looked at the king's banner with sincere gratitude in his eyes and his expression as loyal as a rock. When the king's flag went west, the Duanfa Imperial Guard followed closely and embarked on the road back to the capital in the lake.
At the beginning of November, Shulot straightened out the various garrisons, rearranged the siege matters, erected the royal flag in the Tree Snake City, and established the commander's camp. He carefully observed the two Snake Cities and determined to blockade them first, with the relatively weak White Snake Qiu City as the primary target.
Subsequently, tens of thousands of militiamen were busy for days, using simple stone and wood tools to surround the White Snake Hill City and begin to dig long trenches for the siege. In Xiulote's plan, this trench of more than ten miles was just the beginning. After the long trenches were dug, simple wooden fortresses were built based on the trenches, and thousands of warriors and militiamen were stationed. All in all, he wanted to completely isolate himself from the possibility of contacting the outside world by sending warriors from White Snake Qiucheng!
As for Yunshe Mountain City in the mountains, there are many secret and dangerous trails connecting the vast mountains. Even if a large group of warriors is sent, it will still be difficult to isolate, and there is still the risk of being attacked by a sneak attack.
Shulot thought for a long time, then divided the area outside the mountain city, arranged a large group of warriors to hunt the wild beasts in the mountains, and moved the remaining tribes within twenty miles around to cut off any possible food channels.
Later, he sent war priests to supervise the salt consumption of the city-state legion... There were many nobles in the city-state legion. If the price offered by Yunshe City was too high, someone might sneak into the mountains and risk beheading. Danger, smuggling salt to the enemy.
"The siege of Yunshe Mountain City is destined to take a long time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape in a short time. However, since there is no rush, we can prepare some long-term plans!..."
When it comes to longevity, crop breeding bears the brunt. Autumn is deep, and the corn outside Shuigu City has basically been harvested and it is time to put it into storage.
Shulot sent dozens of trained personal guards to count the grain harvested in the autumn. Then, he ordered his guards to select grain seeds from the harvested corn that had larger cobs, relatively full grains, and higher yields. Such work has actually begun in the Kingdom of the Lake. It's just that in this fertile eastern valley, corn has always been high-yielding, so perhaps some superior varieties can be found.
"In addition to the yield per plant, we also need to consider the germination rate... I remember that there seems to be a cleaning process?"
Vague memories flashed through Shulot's mind, but he couldn't remember them clearly. He thought about it for several days, and finally decided to lay the foundation for breeding and hybridization by starting with what he remembered, which was Mendel's laws of inheritance, the divinely inspired version.
"...The Lord God bestows divinity, and light and darkness are entangled (genes) in pairs, falling into all things, and inherited to future generations. The divinity of light is higher than darkness, that is, it is dominant... and light and darkness are paired and separated. Then they merge and reproduce for two consecutive generations, so there are three bright ones and one dark one. The reason is that when light and dark match, light appears... And when two pairs of light and dark are superimposed, it is the combination of the trinity and the self-light. The darkest is nine three three one..."
At this point, Shulot frowned. He always felt that there was something lacking, but he couldn't think clearly at the moment. But no matter what, such a description will always enlighten future generations. Even if it is not accurate, it can save hundreds of years of detours. So, he lowered his head and continued to think and write.
"The continuation of all things, the origin of the reproduction of life. The divinity of light and darkness is freely combined and distributed independently, each determining its appearance... Like the pyramid of a great temple, there are thousands of bricks and stones. Each brick and stone has a relief on the outside. , which is a plane inside, is in a fixed position, and determines a certain part of the temple. The unity of thousands of bricks and stones is the whole picture of the pyramid. And the divinity of light and darkness is the same in the human body!..."
After finishing a paragraph, Shulot paused for a long time. He didn't know if such a description could be understood. But he felt that he could understand it, so he would continue to compile it.
"Thousands of lights and darks are entangled, appearing and disappearing, and each has its own place in the human body... Twenty-three laws are gathered in the body, and twenty-seven thousand pairs of divinity are dispersed into the laws to condense into a human being! This is how the Lord God created man. Mysteries and all things in the world are the same!"
