Aztec Eternals - Chapter 541

“Ah! Within 20 days, capture the Tree Snake City?!”

“Exactly! No matter what the price is, I will capture the Tree Snake City before the peak of the rainy season!”

There were only two people left in the tent. Avit made no secret and declared coldly. Gilliam’s face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in worry.

If you want to capture such a solid tree snake city in such a short period of time, you must risk your life and damage thousands of alliance warriors!

You must know that the storming of Feathered Serpent City alone took a full month, resulting in casualties of 400 royal warriors, more than 3,000 city-state warriors, and 8,000 city-state militiamen. And Tree Snake City is more important, with higher walls and more defenders. The Tlaxcala warriors in the city are two or three thousand more than Feathered Serpent City, estimated to be around six thousand.

Unlike the emerging Mexica Confederation, the Tlaxcalans were more rigidly cast. These die-hard snake-born warriors, more or less, have noble blood, and it is difficult to surrender to the alliance. They will surely drive the militia in the city to resist until the end.

Thinking of this, Gilliam saluted solemnly and sincerely admonished.

“Your Majesty, isn’t it too urgent to force the city to break on the 20th?… If the various legions suffer too many casualties, I’m afraid they will be dissatisfied or even resentful…”

“Gilliam, this is my decision!”

Avit shook his head, his expression was stern, and Qiankun was arbitrary.

“The current situation is different from before! The elders and the high priest have all gone to the kingdom of God… All the countries in the alliance, without the suppression of the sun and the morning star, will inevitably become unstable, and even become rebellious. If you know, there will be some reactions, especially the Totonaks not far to the east, as well as the Mistec and the Vasteks in the south, and even the Vasteks who just paid tribute and detained their leaders… .”

“All legions are dispatched to participate in the Eastern Expedition. The hinterland of the alliance is extremely empty. Even the capital city in the lake has only 4,000 royal warriors, 2,000 temple guards and 1,000 elder guards who are not easily dispatched. Nobles from all over the world are hiding their dissatisfaction. , the foreign vassals have rebellious intentions, and if there is a change inside and outside, the capital city in the lake will not be able to conquer!… Therefore, I can’t force troops under the strong city, drag it on for several months, wait for the rainy season to end, and then stabilize Conquer the city.”

Hearing this, Gilliam pursed his lips and looked serious. He leaned down, gave a solemn salute, and said in a low voice.

“Your Majesty, within the Texcoco Lake District, the area is largely cleaned up, and there should be no rebellion. Both Texcoco and Tracopan are severely dealt with by elders and high priests. Die, or transfer the seal, and the rest have just been exiled…”

“What about the other seven states? And what about the newly conquered Otomi and Prepecha?”

Hearing this, Gilliam kept his head down, unable to speak.

As the chief intelligence officer, he clearly knows how much the power of the great nobles has been deprived of the power of the alliance over the past few years, and how many flames of dissatisfaction have been planted. The alliance’s interference in the succession of the great nobles and the dispatch of tax-collecting priests to the noble fiefs caused more than a dozen noble resistance and assassinations.

And in the seven years since the king took the throne, the elders, the high priest and the nobles of the alliance who died in his hands even exceeded the sum of casualties in the previous 52 years of alliance wars!

The central government of the royal family was so powerfully reformed and slaughtered that there was no large-scale rebellion in the entire alliance. It all depended on the long-term suppression of the god-like prestige of the elders, the ruthless and decisive action of the high priest, and the military victory of the alliance. The royal power and the divine power cooperated extremely tacitly, and they worked together to firmly suppress the local nobles.

Now that the elders and the high priest have left, the various royal families within the alliance are very likely to change, and the high priest group will also be divided internally and restrict each other. The form of centralization reform is indeed very different.

After a while, Gilliam sighed softly and asked for instructions in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty, what is your plan?”

“At any cost, conquer the tree snake city and capture the gods in the city! Then, I will declare the victory of the Eastern Expedition, and lead the three royal legions back to the capital city in the lake to hold a grand ceremony like never before, to suppress the alliance states and the world. All departments! As for the remaining Cloud Snake and White Snake cities…”

Having said this, Avit pondered for a long time. He calculated the situation of the various departments of the Eastern Expedition before finally making a decision.

“For the time being, Casal led the four city-state legions to carry out the siege in the early stage. When the rainy season is at its peak, it is impossible to siege the city. Whether it is the Mexican legion or the Tlaxcala defender, there is not much that can be done, and the scale of the battle will be very large. Small…”

“As for the siege after the rainy season, the Eagle Captain Stanley had two legions under his command, as well as several thousand men from Iskali and Tepopolo. After they captured the city of Oak in the western Wesochenko state , you can divide 10,000 people to come to besiege the city. And Xiuluot’s South Road Corps will also send 20,000 people to the north and continue to besiege the two snake cities!”

“The main force of the royal family has returned, and the vassals of various states are besieging the city…”

Hearing this, Gillim’s expression flashed, thoughtful. He bowed respectfully and nodded in agreement.

“Your Majesty’s words are true! When the main force of the royal family returns to the capital, the situation in the alliance can be stabilized. Like a closed fist, it can be hit at any time, deterring all countries inside and outside the country! And the consumption of food and grass on the front line of the Eastern Expedition will also be greatly reduced. ..As for the dangerous Cloud Snake Mountain City and White Snake Hill City, and they are slowly besieged, there is no need to rush for a while, they can be handed over to His Royal Highness Shulot, who is good at fighting…”

“Yeah! I can rest assured that Xiulote is fighting. After capturing the tree snake city, I will send an envoy to explain the follow-up arrangements to him carefully. And the end of the Eastern Expedition, leave it to him to complete it! …”

Avit smiled and nodded slightly. Afterwards, he thought about the arrangements for the Great Capital Ceremony. The expansion of the Great Temple was completed, the high priest was murdered, the elders went to the kingdom of God, the Eastern Expedition was won, and they prayed for a good autumn harvest. The sacrifices of the entire five major events must be combined in a grand ceremony that has never been seen before! Such a grand ceremony is destined to be a top priority to announce to the Lord God and ancestors, to suppress the states inside and outside, and to win the hearts of the Alliance!

“In the Northern Road Army, how many Tlaxcala prisoners of the gods are there now?”

“Your Majesty, the Northern Route Army captured Hot Spring City and Feathered Serpent City, and captured about a thousand gods and nobles. The various legions scattered and looted, and captured more than a thousand people. Together, including young and old, there are More than 2,500 people!”

“More than 2,500 noble bloodlines… It’s still far from the figure of 6,000…”

Avet frowned, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice.

“Let the South Road Legion send 2,000 captured gods and nobles to the capital city in the middle of the lake! After the tree snake city is broken, they will hunt down the city, and they will eventually collect 6,000 auspicious numbers! , I’m going to return to the capital city in the lake, and then announce to the whole world to hold a grand ceremony for the victory of the Eastern Expedition!”

“Yes, follow your will!”

Gilliam lowered his body and paid a great homage. Then, his expression moved slightly, and he asked for instructions again.

“Your Majesty, most of the four states of Tlaxcala have been conquered. After the great ceremony, what should be done with the lands and mouths of these four states?”

“Well, the land of the four states of Tlaxcala, how to deal with…”

Avit thought for a long time. The north-south expedition was extremely heavy, and the four states of Tlaxcala were already broken. If the Alliance wants to truly rule here, it needs to migrate Mexica immigrants, occupy important cities and fortresses, and assimilate the remaining Tlaxcala tribes. According to the traditional practice of the alliance, it should be on the newly conquered land, to divide the princes, move the nobles, and establish a new city-state of Mexica.

“Are you going to follow the tradition and divide it out, or directly into the direct subordinate? If it is included in the direct subordinate, the manpower and material resources that the royal family needs to invest, the legion warriors stationed there, and the dissatisfaction and complaints of the great nobles of various states…”

Thinking of this, Avit was a little hesitant. The interior of the alliance is intertwined, and it is different from the kingdom of the lake with a blank sheet of paper. Even if he is as noble as him, he cannot arbitrarily reduce seals, expand his direct subordinates, and continuously strengthen centralization like Shulot. He weighed the pros and cons, pondered the situation of all parties in the alliance, and finally sighed.

“According to the previous plan, most of the four states will be sealed off, and the alliance will only control important cities and checkpoints! Transfer some nobles from the seven northern and southern states, grant more than twice the fertile soil of the four states, and then incorporate their original land into the Directly under the royal family!”

“Follow you!”

Gilliam nodded respectfully and bowed to the ground. After hesitating for a while, he raised his head and suggested.

“Your Majesty, the four states of Tlaxcala have a vast area and fertile land. Even if half of the Tlaxcala tribe is wiped out, there are still fifty or sixty thousand people left! These tribes are the same as our Mexicans. Although it is a feud, they have the same language and similar culture, and can be assimilated in one generation. The commoners at the bottom have been called moth people for hundreds of years, and have become accustomed to the rule of the god-born nobles…”

Having said that, Gilliam paused. In this era, the Sun God, Death God, Cloud Snake God, Feather Snake God… all have different symbols, and in the hearts of all people, there is a true and true divinity. Not long ago, he heard that His Royal Highness Sherlot declared the position of the **** of death to win the hearts of Tlaxcala’s captives, and he had a similar plan.

“Your Majesty, after removing the cloud snake gods from the various tribes in Tlaxcala, if there are royal nobles sitting in charge and inheriting the cloud snake **** position, you can conquer the hearts of all the tribes as soon as possible and let them serve the alliance!”

“Huh? Royal nobles, inherit the throne of the cloud snake, and conquer the Tlaxcala tribes?”

Hearing this, Avit was slightly startled and asked hesitantly.

“You mean, to assign my nephew, Montezuma Sokoyotesin, to this place as a prince, to claim the throne of the Cloud Serpent, and to rule over the Tlaxcalans?”

“…Your Majesty, that’s not the case.”

Gilliam gritted his teeth and spoke calmly.

“His Royal Highness Prince Chimarpili is brave and smart, different from ordinary people! In my opinion, His Royal Highness can be divided into a prince and succeed the cloud snake god!”

“Ah? Little Chimalpilly, the prince?”

Hearing this, Avit looked surprised. He glanced at the chief intelligence officer carefully, his expression slightly cold.

“Gilliam, he’s only nine years old this year! How can he leave the capital and be entrusted to the land of Tlaxcala?”

“Your Majesty! Although Your Highness is still young, he is indeed smart and decisive, much more than the heirs of other nobles!”

Gilliam fell to the ground, touched his head to the ground, and exhorted him hard.

“You can continue to take the little highness by your side and teach and raise him carefully. But let him inherit the cloud snake **** position and assign the prince. On the one hand, this will be very helpful for the assimilation of the Tlaxcalans and conquering the hearts of all tribes!”

“…And when His Highness grows older, he will be able to go out to the east of the town and manage the four snake cities. The four snake cities are not far from the capital city in the lake. If you take the shortcut in the mountains, the distance is less than 300 miles. See…”

“…Besides, the future alliance will be handed over to His Royal Highness Sherlot and Princess Alyssa, and the young little Highness must have a place to stand! Your Majesty!…”

“A place to stand? My son, little Chimarpili…”

Hearing this, Avit lowered his eyes, thousands of emotions stirred in his chest, but he didn’t make a sound. There was a moment of silence in the big tent, and only Gilliam’s bitter advice reverberated in the king’s tent.

“Alyssa and Shulot are together and will inherit the alliance I left behind. And the division of Chimalpilly…”

Avet closed his eyes in thought, silent. Rationality and emotion were constantly colliding in his mind. The eldest daughter, Alyssa, has always been the most favored by him. Now that she is married, she will inherit the power of the alliance with her son-in-law, Sherlot. And by his side, only the second son left by his deceased wife, if there is no arrangement, after all, there is a trace of guilt…

“Well… speed up the assimilation of the four Eastern states…”

After a while, Avit took a long breath and found a reason to convince himself. He suppressed his deep feelings and nodded slowly.

“Separate little Chimar Pili and succeed the cloud snake god… but!”

Gilliam knelt on the ground, overjoyed. He saluted respectfully, even with a little joy in his voice.

“Praise the king~www.mtlnovel.com~ Praise the Lord God! With the blessing of the Lord God and the blessings of our ancestors, the Eastern Expedition will surely be a great victory! … Your Majesty, you have even destroyed Tarasco and Tlaxcala, and the entire world will have two Take one, you are a majestic king that has never been before! After a few decades, you will surely become the most supreme, greatest and immortal Grand Tratoani in the history of the alliance!”

“Ha ha!”

Hearing the female snake’s words, Avit burst out laughing. Then, he proudly shook his head to correct.

“No, Gilliam, you are wrong! … The elders and the high priests have fallen one after another. In the current Mexica Alliance, I am the most supreme and greatest Grand Tratoani!”

“Yes, congratulations to the king! You are the supreme, shining sun!”

Gilliam saluted, and Arvet laughed heartily. The tears on his face had dried up, and only the ambition and the desire to conquer remained. The power of the whole world has never been so concentrated in the hands of one person, and he wants more!

“Maybe, I should change to a new name.”

Avit thought faintly. Then, he clenched his divine scepter and shouted sharply.

“Come here, tell the whole army, and mourn for the elder and the high priest for a day! One day later, the whole army will go south, attack the city of tree snakes, avenge the high priest, and offer sacrifices for the elder!”

“According to your will, the supreme sun!”

Soon, the news of the plea spread, and the cries and roars of the warriors resounded throughout the camp. Those boiling shouts, like the howls of a pack of wolves, continued all night, with piercing killing intent.

The old sun is slowly setting, and the new sun will rise tomorrow. And after the sun rises, it is a **** and cruel siege, like a sacrificial slaughter! Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
