The royal flag of the Black Wolf, the God of Death, fluttered high, appeared from the end of the sky, and came towards the continuous camp. In the camp, a flag of Commander Black Wolf was flying. Both tall flags feature black wolves, but their postures and patterns are different. On the far side, there is the beast-shaped incarnation of Shulotel, the god of death, looking up at the sky, and on the other side near, there is the night-watching black wolf guarding the rising sun.
As the two flags gradually approached, thousands of kingdom warriors in the camp cheered excitedly. Their cheers came from the bottom of their hearts, and they were as pious as prayers!
"Praise the supreme and majestic Lord God! Praise the invincible His Highness God Qi!"
This is the cheer of the Mexican warriors, full of respect and love.
"O Lord God! It is the merciful King! Our High King has come!"
This is the praise of the warriors of Prepecha, with pious reverence and even fanaticism.
"Ah! The Great Chief! The Great Chief of Death! Her power is boundless!"
This is the exclamation of the Guakili warriors, which comes from the awe from the heart and the prostrateness from the body.
The black wolf ran with deafening cheers. He ran up the hill, towards the lake, and finally came under the banner of the black wolf, the god of death. He was so excited that he knelt down directly towards the familiar tall figure.
"Your Highness! Your black wolf pays homage to his supreme wolf king!"
"The Lord God bless you! Good! My black wolf, you have lived up to my expectations! You have been marching eastward for a year and defeated countless enemies. You are the most skilled black wolf under my command!"
Shulot was dressed in royal robes, with a warm smile on his face, and smiled and nodded in praise. He looked at the black wolf lying on the ground, his eyes full of approval and satisfaction. Then, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand, shook Hei Lang's hair, and rubbed the other person's head. This is a ritual of loyalty that is repeated constantly between the king and the loyal generals, and at this moment it represents intimacy!
"Your Highness! I, the black wolf Toltec, am willing to die for you! No matter...who the enemy is!"
Black Wolf Toltec knelt on the ground and looked up at His Highness. His eyes were full of reverence and fearlessness, as well as some hidden expectations.
Hearing these words, Shulot raised his brows, looked serious, and nodded slightly. Black Wolf would not say such words at this time for no reason. This is an expression of determination...and the reason for this is probably the rumors circulating in various states.
"My Black Wolf, get up! You have been fighting for a year eastward this time, and it is not easy. Tell me, how is the progress of the Jinwan City expedition?"
Shulot said while moving his eyes. His eyes swept over Black Wolf's armor and copper ax, and soon fell on the book held upside down in the opponent's hand. He said "Oh" in surprise and said with a smile.
"Very good! Hei Lang, you can keep your hands on the paper now! I told you before that when I see you again, I hope to be impressed... After we finish talking about the military situation, I will come to test you and see how well you can read and write. progress!"
"Yes! Your Highness, in the past six months, I have been listening to what you said. Don't let go... release the scroll. Ugh!... For the exam, I have read the entire Ali Sutra twice. ...Three, a quarter..."
The black wolf Toltec held his head high as he spoke, then gradually lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty for no reason. He hesitated in his words, looked around, and then talked about the battle situation on the front line.
"Ah, Your Highness! After the rainy season, I followed your will, surrounded but not attacked, and continued to exert pressure. And a steady stream of Totonac reinforcements came from the east and gathered in the Golden Bay City area! At the moment, Golden Bay City Around here, on the west bank of the Adobe River, within a radius of fifty miles, more than ten coastal city-states and more than 30,000 Totonak coalition troops have gathered!"
"In addition to the 10,000 or 20,000 people I defeated, killed, and surrendered outside Golden Bay City before, it can be said that all the truly capable enemies in the entire land of East and West Totonak are gathered here!"
Hearing this, Shulot nodded slowly. He thought about the situation in the land of Totonak, recalled the information about the high priesthood he had received from his grandfather, and pondered for a long time.
It is exactly one thousand miles from the Holy Land of Ancient Feathered Serpent City on the west coast to the Holy Land of Hidden Serpent City on the east coast. It was more than two hundred miles from the Totonak people who went deep into the mountains to Wushan City, Tuhe City, and Tuqiu City to the shore. In other words, the Totonac seaside land is a long strip of land with a coast of more than a thousand miles and a depth of more than 200 miles, with a total area of about 60,000 square kilometers. This is equivalent to slightly more than half of the island of Cuba, slightly less than half of England, or one-third of Henan. Coincidentally, this is also the area that the Lake Kingdom can directly govern after completely consuming the Chapala Lake area in the grand construction plan.
"The entire land of Totonac is the origin of the Olmecs, with a long heritage and numerous tribes. This area is crisscrossed by rivers, warm all year round, with dense jungles, and mostly plains along the coast. Throughout the thousands of miles of Totonac There are more than 20 larger city-states on the seaside, bounded by the Adobe River, and divided into two parts, East and West Totonak. West Totonak has about four hundred miles of coast, while East Totonak has five. More than a hundred miles away..."
Shulot thought about it while explaining it in detail. The black wolf Toltec stood nearby and listened carefully. Just like ten years ago, when he was selected into His Highness's bodyguard and listened to His Highness's lectures as a young boy.
"Hei Lang, anyone who serves as a general must be familiar with geography and numbers. You have been fighting for many years, and you have gained experience and instinct for geographic estimation. But you still need to work harder on numerical calculations!"
Shulot looked solemn as he taught the black wolf, but there was a smile in his eyes and his words were extremely patient. Hearing this, the guard captain Ekart behind him raised his head, glanced at the black wolf in surprise, and then looked away silently.
"The Totonak tribes that the Alliance knew before were actually limited to four to five hundred miles from Western Totonak, and extended to the eastern coast for more than a hundred miles at most. As for the details of the Eastern Totonak tribes, there is no I know. The kingdom’s exploration fleet should have gained something, but unfortunately they have never returned. The two sides are currently fighting, and the killing is red. I hope they will come back later..."
"The alliance estimates the population of Totonak to be seven to eight million people. Now it seems that this number is obviously too low, ignoring the three to four hundred miles further east... Totonak's various tribes have appeared one after another. We have more than 30,000 warriors and tens of thousands of strong men. Based on the common ratio of thirty people to one warrior, it is estimated that there will be a population of 1.2 million..."
"Hei Lang, the reason why I asked you to stop and wait in Golden Bay City is because if you go further east, the geography of East Totonak is very unfamiliar to the Alliance! As the army continues to advance eastward, the supply lines for the expedition will also It’s too long. Once we can’t attack for a long time, our logistics will be unsustainable, and it’s very likely that we’ll suffer a disastrous defeat!”
Hearing this, Hei Lang opened his mouth and wanted to refute. The 6,000 Guajili battle group, the 2,000 Mixtec battle group, and the 2,000 White Snake City surrender troops in his hands are all wolf armies that can march thousands of miles!
These black wolf warriors who have been fighting for thousands of years are all wolves trained by him. They are very tough and ferocious! They didn't choose anything to eat. Even if there was no food, they could still eat other things... However, thinking of His Highness's consistent attitude towards human sacrifice, Hei Lang pursed his lips and did not dare to reply.
"I stayed in the Ancient Feathered Serpent City, oh, that is, the New City of Killing Snake, for a month, and carefully questioned many local tribal sages. Then, I calculated the number of military achievements reported by the priests who accompanied you after you left east... The West Totonak tribes were originally supposed to have 600,000 people. The East Totonak tribes have a similar area. According to estimates, they should be around 600,000, which is exactly in line with the previous estimate."
"Now, the tribes of Xitotonak have been attacked for a year, and three or four large city-states have been reduced to nothing. The kingdom's army has kidnapped more than 100,000 tribesmen and sent them to Shuigu City to farm, and now they are transported to the kingdom. The army Going east, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 Totonak warriors who died in the battle, the strong Totonak people who fled, and the Totonak civilians who died of illness and starvation. As for the Jinwan tribes that we have not yet conquered, , the remaining two large tribes of Tuhe City and Hatori City in the southwest should be close to 200,000 people. In the land of Xitotonak, which is more than 400 miles away, the tribes that have truly surrendered to the alliance and are in our hands are actually There are only 200,000 people."
Having said this, Shulot shook his head secretly. The black wolf is very murderous. It has wiped out all the tribes of Xitotonak and basically killed all the chiefs and chiefs at the top... But no matter what, the kingdom is real and controlled. After living in this territory, no tribe could rebel. And along the way, he calmed people's hearts, granted land and titles, and established civilian and military villages without encountering any local resistance. It was indeed much easier.
"So, Black Wolf, you have been conquering for a year, destroying one-third of the Xitotonak tribes and conquering one-third! And the last one-third were killed by tens of thousands. The warriors and men are trapped in the besieged city!"
"Hei Lang, my general, you have actually defeated the Xitotonak tribes and destroyed their city-state alliance! Even if the Jinwan tribes still have a big city and tens of thousands of warriors left, even if Tuhe, The two Hatori tribes have not been pacified yet...but they have actually broken their spines, so there is nothing to worry about!"
Shulote spoke calmly and calmly. For him now, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people and the fate of hundreds of thousands of people have gradually changed from warm objects to cold numbers. He has been through too much and his heart is as hard as blood jade. His mind was deeply engraved with the grand ambition of unifying all the ministries in the world and creating an empire and nation! And this dangerous road to the highest altitude is destined to be full of blood and bones...
"Black Wolf, as the commander-in-chief, you must always stay awake, remember our goal, and see our real opponent clearly! We want to conquer the entire Totonac Coast, and the real opponent who is fighting with the kingdom now is the Holy Land of Hidden Snake City Under the leadership of the Eastern Totonak Alliance! If you think about the real enemy, you will find that capturing the city of Jinwan is not our most important goal. And this is also the message I am sending you to lay out a new plan. s reason..."

"Our plan is to gather more warriors from the Eastern Totonak tribes here, to this narrow golden bay. Then, the army will send out troops from the east to cut off their eastern rear. Lu, keep all these warriors and warriors from various oriental tribes!"
"As long as we kill or capture all the tens of thousands of Totonak warriors and warriors who believe in the Feathered Serpent and follow the call of the Holy City of the Hidden Serpent, all the Totonak tribes in the East will do it for them. Once it's all gone, you no longer have the courage and manpower to resist! This is much easier than continuing to trek for five hundred miles and fight hard in a city-state or a mountain village in the jungle!"
