The cold wind in January blows from the mainland to the coast. In Hokkaido on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, the northwest monsoon brought by the northwest continent blows. On the North American coast on the east side of the Pacific Ocean, the northeast trade winds brought by the northern continent blow.
The trade wind was blowing fiercely, and there was an atmosphere of celebration in the camp of the Yorem tribe. The huge Kingdom fleet is docking here. More than a thousand warriors, militiamen and sailors from the kingdom flocked to this large tribe on the coast of Northland to celebrate the New Year's festival with the local Mayo people!
"Praise the Lord Huitzilopochtli! We hold a sacred ceremony and ask the Lord to come!..."
The preaching priests of the fleet set up a high platform, raised a blazing holy fire, and sang scriptures praising the Lord God. The devout warriors of the kingdom surrounded the altar, rapped their spears on their shields, and danced a war dance to celebrate the gods. The militiamen and sailors cheered and shouted, the sound was as loud as thunder.
The tribesmen of the three thousand Jolem tribe gathered at the outer edge of the altar, their movements careful and obedient. They stayed with the militiamen of the Kingdom in the Lake. Some of them showed great closeness, while others were frightened and uneasy. Most of them were fearful and obedient.
If you look carefully, you can see that the emblem of the main god has been carved on the foreheads of the close tribesmen. The tribal leaders had stiff, fearful and forced smiles on their faces as they welcomed the more than a thousand "central lake warriors" who descended from the sky and came uninvited.
As for Karan, the chief of the Yorem tribe, he wore the most solemn sacrificial attire, with red deer antlers on his head, a patterned cloth robe on his body, and an American gourd on his waist, and boarded the flagship of the kingdom's fleet. He was "warmly invited" by the captain and deputy captain of the fleet, the divine priest Zuvalo and the second-level priest Mickey, to board the bow of the ship to watch the ritual ceremony on the shore and the "Thunder of the Lord God".
"Praise the Lord God Huitzilopochtli! She is supreme, omnipotent, and omnipotent! She gives us sunshine and rain, food and fish. She blesses us with abundant harvests, allows our species to multiply, and also sends down the thunder of divine punishment. ! We prostrate ourselves on the ground, pray to her, and offer pious sacrifices to her!..."

"The God has arrived! She descends upon the sun in the sky and looks down upon us with majesty!"
The second-level kingdom preaching priest, the song bird Quecatol, chanted and praised devoutly, with a loud and majestic voice. From the hands of the warriors, he took in turn the young wolves that had been drained of blood, the elk that had been shot to death by arrows, and the fat and strong river fish. Then, the priests waved their obsidian daggers and chanted loudly in unison while dissecting the "three animals" sacrifices and throwing them into the blazing holy fire one after another!
"Praise the supreme god, we offer you the coyote! It is the partner of the sun, protecting the extension of the tribe!"
"Praise the supreme Lord God, we offer you the elk! It is the elf under the moon, blessing us with peace after death!"
"Praise the supreme Lord God, we offer you river fish! It is the darling of the earth, blessing the harvest of farmland, fishing grounds and hunting grounds!"
The thin black smoke ignited from the holy fire, filled with the smell of burnt protein. Then, the preaching priests took out the sulfur powder they carried and threw it into the fire! The flame rose instantly and was covered with a faint blue color.
Seeing this scene, the Kingdom's warriors and militiamen who were watching fell to the ground and devoutly sang praises to the Lord God. The surrounding Yoremu tribesmen screamed in surprise, and finally could not restrain the awe in their hearts. They all knelt on the ground and praised the main god of the tribe in the middle of the lake! In the end, only a dozen tribal leaders were left. Their faces were ugly, and they knelt down reluctantly under the sharp gazes of the kingdom's priests.
"...God has witnessed it! The sacrifice ascends to the sky, and the Lord God makes a promise! She promises the continuation of the tribe, she promises the Kingdom of God after death, and she blesses our harvest!..."
"She is kind and generous, and protects all the tribes who convert! From now on, you will all convert to the Lord God and become her devout believers!... Praise the Lord God! She protects us!"
"Praise the Lord God! Bless! Bless!..."
When the preaching priests sang this, the cheers around them became louder and louder, echoing on the coast and under the sky. Listening to the tribesmen's cries of awe and obedience, the faces of the kneeling tribal leaders became increasingly ugly, and they also vaguely revealed deep fear.
On the long boat of the fleet, Chief Karan pursed his lips, looked stiff, and said nothing. A few days ago, a huge kingdom fleet suddenly arrived and raided the tribe, catching him completely by surprise.
With the cooperation of hundreds of kingdom warriors stationed here and dozens of devout tribal believers, four hundred armored warriors and eight hundred bow and spear soldiers landed directly on the shore and poured into all parts of the Yorem tribe!
The kingdom's army moves quickly and has a clear goal. Led by tribal believers, they immediately rushed to various longhouses and took control of the chiefs and leaders. Soon, the tribal chiefs and leaders all announced their surrender. Those who refused to surrender were executed on the spot. Under the pressure of thousands of kingdom troops and absolute force, hundreds of warriors and hunters in the clan gradually laid down their weapons and surrendered.
In just three days, the 3,000-strong Yolem tribe changed its owner and belonged to the Kingdom of the Lake. Chief Kallan was angry and desperate, but there was nothing he could do. Because with such a huge fleet and so many elite warriors, even in a head-on fight, the Yorem tribe would never be an opponent. They could only flee into the wasteland to the east.
The annexation of the wasteland tribes is so naked and ruthless! The warriors of the tribe obeyed the stronger. As long as they could maintain their original lives and were not forced into a desperate situation... they would not fight to the death for their leaders when there was no chance of winning.
Once the tribe changes hands, there is no chance for a comeback. Chief Kalan only regretted that he had not taken precautions earlier and allowed the kingdom's preaching priests to preach throughout the tribe for nearly two years. He also hated the greedy leader of the tribe. He was dazzled by the exquisite gifts from the tribe in the lake and was not alert at all. What he hates even more is that those stupid tribesmen were easily converted by the preaching priests and became believers of the Lord God in the Lake...
Thousands of thoughts were rising and falling in Chief Kallan's heart, transforming into anger and unwillingness. But in front of a dozen warriors wearing armor and holding spears, Chief Kallan buried all his unwillingness in his heart and did not dare to show it. Two steps away, the divine priests Zuvalo and Mickey had serious faces and were talking quietly in Prepecha language.
"Miki, the learned man, listen to my explanation! I only got the news two days in advance of this sudden attack. I didn't mean to hide it from you... The second-level evangelist priest Songbird Quekator, in this wild north land, After nearly two years of preaching, hundreds of tribal believers have been converted, and hundreds of kingdom warriors have been migrated, which can be regarded as a deep root. However, the chiefs and leaders of the Yolem tribe have always been stubborn and unwilling to submit. The main god. And the shamans in the tribe also interfered and suppressed the kingdom’s preaching..."
"So, when the news came that we were leading a fleet and heading north with more than a thousand warriors, the Songbird Priest made up his mind and sent out a small boat to contact our fleet to take down the Yorem tribe in one fell swoop! I was worried that you were too soft-hearted to be cruel, so I delayed telling you before taking action..."
"Fortunately, everything went smoothly. There was almost no bloodshed. Only about twenty leaders and warriors who were unwilling to surrender died. The vast majority of the tribesmen in the Yorem tribe did not form a blood feud with the kingdom, but as expected. , accepted everything obediently. Next, after this New Year's ceremony, there will be an equally sacred conversion ceremony to appease people's hearts. We will carve the emblem of the Lord God and let them make a blood oath to completely convert all the Yorem tribes People, turn them all into believers of the Lord God!”
"If the fleet wants to explore north, it must have a stable rear stronghold. To establish such a stronghold, it cannot be completed in a year or two. And I have searched all over the North, and there is no one who has more followers than the Kingdom of Yolei. The Mu tribe is a more suitable location! This tribe is in an excellent location with a large population. It is surrounded by fertile riverside soil suitable for planting, has huge reserves of gold and copper mines, and rivers that communicate with the wilderness. And more to come. Going north, there is a huge coal mining belt on the land of the Yaquis... What's more, their language is similar to the language of the alliance, which facilitates the rule and assimilation of the kingdom. This is the place promised by the Lord God!"
"After taking over the Yorem tribe, this will be the northern continent. It will be the first large tribe to convert to the main god, and it will also be the kingdom's first large-scale settlement in the northern continent! From now on, the kingdom's exploration in the north will , we have a strong support. We can also continuously replenish food, supplies and sailors during our sea exploration trip! This is the reason why I made up my mind to launch a surprise attack..."
