The setting sun slanted down and fell into the clouds on the sea, reflecting layers of colorful clouds. Tikalo stared at the sky blankly, as if he were seeing a Mayan epic of three thousand years, rolled up in the sea of clouds, overflowing with color and light.
The sun falls on the edge of the clouds, reflecting the golden outline, which is the glory of the golden age. The light shot into the clouds, revealing a deep red glow, which was the prosperity of Mayapan's revival. When the light falls into the depths, only the bottomless black abyss is left. That is the darkness and despair of the destruction of the Cocom family!
Now, that once-desperate child of divine origin, who was thousands of miles away from home, has grown up and even grown old. But the hope he had been pursuing for forty years was still so dim, as lightless as the dark moon.
"In this world, there will never be another hero named Cocom blessed by the gods."
Ti Carlo pursed his lips and hid all his emotions in his heart, turning them into desperate hatred and courage.
"Mortal people cannot pray for fate. They can only throw away everything and risk their lives to grab the hem of fate...even if the price is death!"
The moist wind blows from the sea, blowing people's clothes and forehead. Everyone on the flagship was immersed in the story of Eastern Maya and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time. Golden ages came and ended, divine heroes came and went, great kingdoms were founded and perished. But now, in the lowlands of the Eastern Maya, only the fragmented clan chiefdoms remain.
"Of course, this is not a bad thing for the alliance and the kingdom that aspire to the world!"
The main priest Tomat pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with light. He looked at the Mayan merchant who would regain his composure and asked in a deep voice.
"Tikalo, you said that the Xiwu family attacked and killed the Cocom royal family, and the Mayapan Kingdom was destroyed. But how could such a huge kingdom be destroyed so easily? Didn't the generals of Mayapan attack the Xiwu family? What benefit does killing the royal family and committing such a heinous crime bring to the Xiu family? ...What is the Maya lowland in the east like now?"
After hearing this series of questions, Tikalo looked thoughtful. As expected, the kingdom's priests and generals all have strong ambitions. And a divided Maya will inevitably attract the prying eyes of bears like tempting honey. As long as... the bear is close enough to reach out.
"The huge Mayapan Kingdom is actually a city-state alliance composed of hundreds of city-states spread across Yucatan and the lowlands. Each Mayan city-state is located close to water sources and is distributed over a land area of 700 miles. . In the jungle with difficult roads, communication is not convenient, and it is also difficult for large groups of warriors to march. Most of the alliance city-states are governed by local divine families. The immortal Mayapan is the one respected by all states. The sect leader of Feng! The divine Cocom royal family enjoys the title of 'King of Maya' and is the link that maintains the entire alliance!"
Regarding the destruction of Mayapan, Tikalo once stayed up all night and thought seriously about it for many years. At this moment, he spoke with a certain calmness like a sage.
"The Xiwu family, originating from Uxmal, is the most powerful city-state leader family near the royal capital of Mayapan. It controls several large city-states and more than a dozen small villages and towns. Two hundred years ago, they gradually focused on ruling. Moved from Uxmal to Mani. And this city-state is only fifty miles away from Mayapan! With their respected bloodline and their strong strength, they are highly involved in the politics of the kingdom, and are the most powerful in Mayapan. One of the influential noble families... In other words, it is like the relationship between the former city-state of Texcoco and Trochititlan!"
Hearing this, the main priest Tomat suddenly felt a little confused. It turns out that this rebellious Xiwu family is a powerful prince very close to the royal capital! Such a rebel with different intentions, powerful strength, and close proximity is really impossible to guard against, so he can only take the initiative to attack!
As for the Mayans, their bloodline of respecting divinity has been passed down for thousands of years, and their class is almost constant. They have an extremely strict hierarchy of nobility and nobility, and they also have aristocratic power that is far more powerful than the Alliance.
Many divine families have been multiplying for thousands of years and have extremely large family members. They often control more than one city-state and are also in charge of the city-state's theocratic and military power. Therefore, the political structure of the Mayan tribes is the oligarchic or monopolistic clan chiefdoms formed after clan politics developed to its extreme.
"The conflict between the Xiwu family and the Kokom royal family has been going on for a long time. There have been twists and turns, and it even started from the hostility between the City of Gods and the Snake Capital in the Golden Age. After the establishment of Mayapan, the Kokom royal family continued to expand and gradually centralized its power. .As the most powerful divine family closest to the royal capital, the Xiwu family has suffered the greatest loss. On the surface, the Xiwu family is respectful and obedient, and has even been married to the royal family for many generations, but secret dissatisfaction has been building up... What a pity. ! There is no ruthless elder in Mayapan who can kill these hidden poisonous snakes in advance!"
"The Xiu family raided Mayapan, killed all the Cocom royal family, and burned down the capital. The entire city-state alliance lost its bond. Marching in the rainforest was inconvenient. Without the cooperation of the city-states along the way to provide food and civilians, it would be difficult for the conquest army to move. Far. The destruction of the royal family was too fast. Within ten days, the blood of thousands of divine descendants and tens of thousands of civilians covered the royal capital, submerging the stadium into a lake of blood! Under the brutal massacre of the Xiwu family, No high-ranking prince of Kokom can escape from the capital and call on all countries to come to his aid..."
Tikalo lowered his eyes and suppressed a somewhat choked voice. He bit his lower lip hard before regaining his composure and said.
"Therefore, in this sudden rebellion, except for the Kanur family, which was hostile to the Xiwu family and was also close to Mayapan, no reinforcements from other clans arrived in time. The royal family was completely destroyed, and the military leaders of the alliance were scattered everywhere. . They lost their respected patriarch, so they took the clan as the foundation, occupied the land as king, and attacked each other... From then on, the entire Mayapan Kingdom, from the eastern seaboard to the western seaside, from the northern coast to the southern lowlands, was divided into sixteen A clan emirate of different sizes and strengths!"
"Sixteen clan emirates?"
The main priest Thomas touched his chin, thinking about the situation of being shattered to the ground. So, among these emirates, who are the enemies of the kingdom and who are the friends of the kingdom? Or, who is the ally that can be formed temporarily... Priest Tomat pondered for a moment, then looked at Tikalo and asked in a deep voice.
"Which clans are the most powerful among these sixteen countries? Where do they occupy the Yucatan Peninsula, and how many warriors do they control?"
Hearing this, Puap nodded heavily and spoke murderously.
"Yes! Where is that Xiwu family, the Heavenly Serpent bloodline, and how many warriors do they have under their command?"
"Mayapan was destroyed, and the kingdom was divided into sixteen clans and sixteen kingdoms. The four most powerful clans were concentrated in the northern part of Yucatan, which has abundant water resources and a large population. And these four clans also control Yuca The land and sea trade on the Tan Peninsula controls the shipping route to the Quetzalcoatl Island, and occupies the most astonishing wealth!"
Tikal smiled and spoke leisurely. He knew the key points that His Highness Shulot valued, and he also knew what to say to tempt the priests and warriors of the Lake Kingdom.
"These four tribes are along the coast of the peninsula, from west to east: the Kanur family (Ahul) on the far west side of the peninsula, the third most powerful, with its capital in Karkini Kapok City (i); the west-central part of the peninsula, with its capital Mani City occupies the territory of the Mayapan Kingdom and is home to the most powerful Xiu family. To the east of the central peninsula is Zaci, the second most powerful family with many vassals. "
"The Ekabu Chiefdom Alliance controls the Quetzalcoatl Chang Island shipping route?"
Hearing this, the main priest Tomat was a little confused.
"Tikalo, the other three are all clan chiefdoms, why is this Ekabu an alliance of chiefdoms?"
"Dear Priest of the Lord God, because the Ekabu Alliance is an alliance formed by multiple families under the call of the Holy Land Yan Island. In the alliance, the status of each family city-state, under the eyes of the Rain God, is equal."
"An alliance of equal states? In this form...if something big happens, who will make the final decision?"
"Ha! Dear Priest of the Lord God, all states have equal status, and Yan Island, the holy land dedicated to the God of Rain, is naturally more equal than other city-states!"
Ti Carlo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a slightly mocking smile.
“So, when something big happens, it’s natural for the chief priest of the Holy Land to make the decision!”
Hearing this, the main priest Tomat pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, as if he had some understanding.
"...The Xiwu family is the most powerful?"
Puap's face looked a little uncertain. After half a moment, he still felt cruel and asked again.
"Ti Carlo, how many warriors do each of these families you mentioned have, and how many Dingkou do they control?"
"I'm just an ordinary Mayan businessman. How can I know the secrets of these ministries?"
Hearing this expected question, the Mayan merchant blinked and answered with a smile.
"But with the prosperity of the lowland Maya, the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, the homeland of the Mayapan Kingdom, has a population of 1.5 million, after all!"
"A population of 1.5 million! If thirty people can produce one warrior, wouldn't it mean that at least 50,000 warriors can be produced?!"
Hearing this, Puap looked shocked. Such a huge population is already approaching the peak of the Kingdom in the Lake. And the eastern Maya lowlands are three thousand miles away from the Mexica Alliance, so it is difficult to dispatch a large army!
"Fortunately, the huge Mayapan has disintegrated and split into a clan chiefdom... In this case, even if the noble descendants of the gods are killed, they can still go to other chiefdoms."
Puap's expression changed, and murderous intent loomed.
"The blood of the Serpent God can relieve the curse of the Eagle!..."
As the sun sets, the golden-red glow changes on the horizon, falling in everyone's eyes like an unpredictable future. Compared with the Mayan clan chiefdoms, the strength of the kingdom's expedition fleet is not worth mentioning.
However, the kingdom's fleet is only the first tentacle. Behind the kingdom's fleet, there is the powerful plateau eagle, and the ambitious and divinely inspired His Highness! There is no doubt that this is a powerful force that can affect the Yucatan Peninsula. As for this powerful force, the attitude towards the various Mayan clans when they first meet is decided in the hands of a few people from the flagship!
Chihuaco, the old militiaman, watched with cold eyes and remained silent. Until this moment, he looked at Ti Carlo with a cold face and asked coldly.
"Ti Carlo, you hairless fox, you are very thoughtful! You just said so much, I only have one question...who are you?"
