The sea is blue, the sky is blue, the coastline extends to the east, and land appears in the south. The Caribbean Sea in the north is becoming more and more endless, and seven Kingdom fleets are docking at a small village on the southern coast.
"This is Omura? The Omura of the Oyu clan?"
Chihuaco stared carefully at the small village by the sea. The small village is not large, probably only a few hundred people. Some villagers were busy in the village and were slightly surprised to see the fleet of boats on the seashore. They were not too excited, and no one came forward to sell.
Generally speaking, Weicun on the seaside is very simple and simple, with no fences or walls, and the villagers also look very simple. But what is very strange is that there is a small pyramid temple more than ten meters high suddenly built two miles outside the village.
The old militiamen looked at the small temple. The style of the temple was extremely simple, and even the bricks and tiles were much damaged. It was unknown that it had gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. The temple seemed empty, there were no statues of gods, and there were no priests or warriors stationed there. He looked at the coast again. The white sandy beach was peaceful. There was no sign of any warriors, and no birds were seen.
"Tikaluo, why is this village called Wei Village? Is it because of the Wei Yu clan? What is the temple next to it for? Why is there not even a statue of a god?"
"Captain Qi, you are talking about this Omura, that is really incredible!"
Tikalo stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the land in the distance, as if he wanted to find something. He looked at the woods to the southeast for a while, listening to the distant call of partridges, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes. Tikalo then turned around, pointed to the nearby temple with a sincere smile, and explained to Chihuaco.
"Have you seen that empty Chaos Temple? That is the most ancient and mysterious holy place, Chicxulub, the Devil's Tail, the legendary place where the gods destroyed and created the world!"
"Chaos Temple, where the gods destroy and create the world?"
Hearing this, the main priest Tomat suddenly opened his eyes wide and came closer.
"Ti Carlo, tell me in detail!"
"In the oldest legend of Tikal, the city of gods, the gods first came to the world, not in the city of gods, but on the sea in the north."
Tikalo raised his head slightly, recalling the few words left by his ancestors.
"On the northern sea, they brought down a divine disaster that destroyed the world, destroying the world before all living beings. It was a terrible world of demons and demons, with no human beings. Then, they created the world again, and created humans for the first time. And the place where the divine disaster falls is Chexlubo, the devil’s tail!”
Priest Thomas pricked up his ears and listened carefully. However, Ti Carlo kept looking up at the sky and said nothing.
"Ti Carlo, tell me! What's behind? What is the Divine Disaster? What is the Devil's Tail?"
"Uh, the back is gone. Divine disaster... Demon Tail... no one knows what it is."
Tikalo scratched his divine bald head, his face showing a little embarrassment and a little sigh.
"This is a myth before the creation of the world. It is the knowledge left by the gods. The gods have no explanation, so no one knows. The ancestors only recorded this sentence. Even this sentence, only a few have experienced the ancient times. Only the Mayan city-states of the Maya city-state are recorded on drawing boards. Although the Mayan tribes along the coast also call this place Monster Tail, they have no idea what is behind it."
"The temple of Chaos in front of us has an extremely primitive style. It was probably built two thousand years ago. According to records, demon bones and strange stones were excavated under the location of the temple. They are like gold and stone. , extremely tough, not afraid of fire, and cannot be smashed at all. The ancient snake god priests were worried about destroying the arrangements of the gods, so they built a temple of chaos to suppress it. And this temple is now abandoned."
"Demon bone fragments? Strange stones?"
Hearing this, Puap's eyes moved and he heard the sound. Everyone on the boat looked at the ancient temple and the land with sparse vegetation, filled with infinite curiosity and imagination, imagining the ancient era when no one existed.
Of course, it is impossible for their eyes to penetrate one kilometer of the earth's surface and see the sparkling andesite rock formations with phenocrysts. Such rock formations can only appear in an unparalleled explosion. It is impossible for their eyes to be two hundred kilometers wide and clearly see the largest crater on the surface of the earth!
Chekslubo, "Devil's Tail", the place where the gods destroyed and created the world! 65 million years ago, a huge asteroid hit here, causing a big explosion with an explosion equivalent of one quadrillion tons. More than 300 billion tons of sulfur entered the atmosphere, creating a global winter that lasted for hundreds of years, completely ending the age of the dinosaurs! And underneath the monster's tail is the crater that destroyed the world tens of millions of years ago!
However, no one knows these magnificent long-standing stories in this era. The leaders on the flagship just stared at the quiet and ordinary coast. They didn't notice anything unusual for a long time.
"Except for the sparse vegetation, nothing can be seen."
Chihuaco looked at it for a while, then turned back to look at Ti Carlo, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Ti Carlo, so you are wearing this outfit today because you are going to visit this temple?"
"Captain Chihuaco, you really have a sharp eye."
Ti Carlo raised a smile on his face and bowed respectfully. He was dressed particularly gorgeously today, wearing an exquisite robe that no one had ever seen before. On the front of the robe, gold sand and silver particles are used to draw a figure with hands raised, legs spread, and feet like waves. At a rough glance, this pattern looks like the word "big" for the Alliance, but at a closer look, it looks like waves on the seaside and a strange snake.
"The Weiyu Clan is a small clan with a population of tens of thousands and not many warriors. Their ruling center is in Dzibil, Stone Carving City, fifty miles to the south, and Tiho City, eighty miles to the south. ”
The city of Tijo, later known as Mérida, is also the largest city in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is famous for its tourism industry that visits historical monuments.
"Weiyu Clan, a small clan with tens of thousands of people..."
The old militiaman Chihuaco pondered for a while and then made a decision.
"We didn't have time to replenish supplies in Yan Village, and the fleet is almost running out of water. Lao Pu, bring more warriors ashore and try to replenish enough food and water. Remember, make good deals with the villagers and use the gems on the ship. , Exchange of gold and silver, no force required!"
"Okay! It's up to you."
Puap looked at the simple villages and the desolate coast, and nodded without interest. He is about to finish his voyage to Maya in the Lowlands, but there is still no solution to the curse of the condor on him, which is really sad!
The old militiaman gave Puap a stern look. Then, he looked at Priest Thomas.
"Praise the Lord God! Priest Thomas, you..."
"Praise the Lord God! I want to go to the shore and take a good look at this weird temple of chaos!"
Priest Thomas was very excited and picked up the scripture again. To him, everything related to gods is full of infinite charm.
"Oh, that's right! Let Ti Carlo follow me, just in time to give an explanation!"
Chihuaco hesitated for a while, glanced at the peaceful village and coast, then looked at Tikalo, who was dressed in fine clothes, and nodded slightly.
"...Okay! Then I will stay on the ship and you should come back as soon as possible! God bless you!"
"God bless you!"
The three of them quickly concluded their discussion. Priest Thomas took Tikalo and immediately jumped into the boat and headed for the shore. Huitu Puap brought two hundred kingdom warriors and tribal warriors ashore one after another. After the encounter in Yancun not long ago, he brought all the people with him this time, and everyone was neatly dressed. The old militiaman was still standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the southern continent and then at his hometown farther and farther away, wondering what he was thinking.
The sun rises and sets in the west, and the dusk is dyed through the clouds. Birds are rising in the eastern forest, and the faint cry of partridges can be heard. There are sailors going back and forth along the coast, but the beach is still quiet. This rare peace seems to last forever.
Puap and the warriors were busy back and forth for most of the day. They only replenished the water, but there was still some insufficient food. He touched his chin, wondering whether he should go further inland and find other villages to trade, when he suddenly heard two warning bone whistles!
"Didi! Didi!..."
High at the top of the Chaos Pyramid, two vigilant Prepecha warriors blew the bone flutes in their hands. Then, several scout soldiers hurriedly ran from the south and shouted loudly.
"Mayans! Mayan warriors! A large group of Mayan warriors are rushing towards us!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Puap's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly put on the bronze armor that he had taken off because of the heat, and at the same time gave stern orders.
"Quick! Quick! Wear all armor! Throw away the goods in your hands, pick up your weapons, and quickly move closer as a team!"
The anxious gray earth warrior put on his armor twice and sent out a whole team of personal guards. Then, carrying a big bow, a spear, and a copper ax, he ran up to the small pyramid temple. He stood on the high ground of the temple and looked far south, only to see a large group of Mayan warriors rushing in from several miles away, raising the smoke of their march.
"One hundred, two hundred, four hundred, six hundred... at least six or seven hundred people!"
Puap stood on tiptoe and looked around, probably counting the number of people on the other side. The opponent's marching speed was extremely fast, and in just a moment, the armor and stomach on his body could already be seen.
"Ah, most of them are wearing leather armor and wooden armor? They are all elite Mayan warriors! Where did this team come from? Didn't I say that the Tail Feather Clan is just a small tribe? Tikalo!..."
The Gray Earth Warrior watched for a moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth to call out, the Mayan merchant came over. He squinted his eyes and looked at the team that was getting closer and closer, looking at the Tian Serpent family crest on their armor, his face was inexplicably excited, and he even blushed.
"It's coming! It's coming! They are finally here! Hahaha! ...It all depends on man! I have made so many preparations and finally waited for this day, this moment!"
Mayan businessman Tikalo bit his lip hard and clenched his palms under his robe, digging his nails into his flesh. Sudden pain came from his lips and palms at the same time, and his face barely regained its composure. He silently glanced at the mountains and forests in the southeast, lowered his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was solemn. He looked at Priest Tomat who had not yet arrived, quickly approached the Gray Earth Warrior, and spoke in a low voice.
"Captain Puap, this group of Mayan warriors are charging at me menacingly. I'm afraid they are full of malicious intent!"
"Um?"
Puap frowned, watching hundreds of Mayan warriors rushing towards him, and urged impatiently.
"Hurry up! I need to get down quickly and prepare the team for battle!"
"Look, the armor they wear is more elite than the Kanur Guardian Clan. Look at the snake-shaped family crest on their armor! Such a family crest only belongs to the most powerful clan!"
"Hmm! What? You mean?..."
Hearing this, Puap was shocked. His eyes widened in surprise, he clenched the bronze spear in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth in surprise, with murderous intent appearing on his face.
"Could it be!..."
"Yes! These elite warriors can only come from the tyrannical Xiwu family in the south! And to be able to command so many elite warriors, their leader must be the venerable descendant of the clan, the descendant of the Heavenly Serpent!"
"Ah! Ah! The descendant of the Heavenly Serpent! Are you sure you are the descendant of the Heavenly Serpent?"
"It's true! Look, the leader of the Mayan gods! On his gorgeous battle clothes, there is a long snake spitting out floods embroidered on it. You have seen it before. This is the snake god Yintesam. The symbol of Na is definitely not something ordinary nobles can wear!"
"A long snake that spits out floods? It's a symbol of the Serpent God... It's true!"
Puap looked at the leading god for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, his eyes were like candlelight in the vast night, or like the cold eyes of a jaguar when it discovered its prey. Within a few breaths, his neck turned red with excitement, he was panting heavily, and ran straight to the kingdom warriors under the temple.
"The Descendants of the Heavenly Serpent! The descendants of the Heavenly Serpent! I have been looking for them for so long, and they actually arrived in front of me!...Haha! The blood of the Heavenly Serpent can break the curse of the condor!...Haha!"
The corners of Tikalo's lips curled up as he watched Puap rush to the military formation under the temple, and ordered the warriors to put their spears at their feet, raise their long bows, and set up sharp bronze arrows. The fierce gray earth warrior also personally took off his big bow and aimed at the Mayan leader who was approaching quickly.
Seeing the hostility shown by the kingdom's warriors, the marching Mayan warriors immediately became confused, took out their weapons one after another, and slowed down. The strong god leader waited for a moment, raised his shield with his left hand for defense, and raised his right arm. This elite Mayan warrior stopped in an instant.
"Blessed by the Serpent God! Arrange on the spot, raise your shields and be on guard!"
Prince Xiu Tur squinted his eyes and looked at the Nava warriors wearing armor and raising bows a few hundred steps ahead, with surprise on his face. He quickly took a look at the number of people on the opposite side, about two hundred, and then looked at the equipment of the other side. Most of them were wearing leather armor, holding large bows, and also had strange golden spears and battle axes. Finally, he looked at the opponent's expression before the battle, full of determination and indifference as he prepared to fight.
"Hey! This Nava warrior?... It seems to be quite elite, no worse than my personal guards!"
Xiu Tuer was a little shocked. He looked at the fleet on the beach again, and Nava warriors were getting off the boat and coming here. Prince Xiwu pondered for a moment and then gave instructions to the guards beside him.
"Go! Let the Nava language translator from the royal capital come forward and tell the Nava fleet our purpose of coming! We have no ill intentions, we just want to trade gems with them!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the Prince!"
Soon, a Toltec survivor wearing an ancient robe walked out of the Mayan warrior formation. Puap took a look at the other party's familiar attire. It looked like a prisoner captured from the holy city of Cholula and transferred to the kingdom. He was startled, his eyes twitching, and before the other party spoke, he shouted loudly.
"Praise the Lord God! Prepare to shoot!"
“Praise the Lord God!”
The warriors of the kingdom raised their bows together, aiming at the person coming from the opposite side, and they were about to shoot the opponent into a sieve.
"Stop! Stop everyone! In the name of the Lord God, you are not allowed to initiate an attack!"
The two sides only faced off for a moment before Priest Tomat rushed out of the temple and hurried over. He held up the scripture in his hand and shouted sharply at the warriors of the kingdom.
"The Mayans stopped and did not take the initiative to attack! They may not be our enemies!... Tikalo, come forward with me and talk to them!"
"...yes!"
Ti Carlo was two steps behind and came at a trot, even his robes were a little messy. He followed closely the Tomat priest who shouted to stop him, his expression changed, and he was slightly panicked. After a few breaths, when the Toltec survivors on the opposite side opened their mouths and shouted out the ancient and difficult Toltec Nahua language, the Mayan merchant's reluctantly calm expression finally could no longer be maintained.
"Eternal God Emperor"
"The One of the Sky, the Supreme One, the Serpent God, the Mayan Goddess! Tell the One of the West, the One of the Plateau, the One Full of Gemstones, the Nava Chieftain...trade gems! Don't fight!"
