Aztec Eternals

"."

With the departure of the messenger from the Chel Chiefdom, there was an undercurrent of silence in the temple. The remaining clan envoys looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Unexpectedly, the Chel chiefdom, which has always been die-hard loyal to the Kokom clan, would choose neutrality.

Tiakin pursed his lips, his expression a little complicated. Fifty years ago, when the Xiwu family murdered the Mayapan royal family and the remnants of the Cocom tribe fled, the Chel theocratic chiefdom has been the most reliable ally of the remnants of the Cocom tribe. Three years ago, after Prince Xiu was killed, the Xiu clan sent troops to retaliate wildly. The remnants of Cocom were able to flee to the northern coast, and they could not do without the full support of the Chel theocratic chiefdom on the way.

But after he officially announced his conversion to the main god of the plateau, the attitude of the Chel theocratic chiefdom with the Tianshui priests as the core became obviously cold. There is no doubt that the priests of the plateau kingdom came with the plateau army, and the main god of the plateau tried to dominate the Maya. All this has threatened the foundation of the Chel chiefdom and the "divine power" of the lowland Maya!

At present, the Chel chiefdom can maintain friendly neutrality and allow military passage. It is because of the hundreds of years of alliance that it has made certain compromises...

"Witness the gods and ancestors! This ancient holy skull is indeed a real divine object. The two Kokom descendants are indeed the last continuation of the royal family..."

The messenger of the Kapoor clan, Jinmu Kapu stood up and gave a slight salute to Tiakin, which was far less solemn than Amuchel.

The remnants of Kokom have taken refuge in the territory of the Kapoor clan for a long time. Over the past few decades, the Kapoor clan has long lost its respect for the royal family. In fact, the Kapoor clan strictly restrains the remnants of the Kokom clan, not only requiring each generation of Kokom clan chiefs to marry a noble daughter of the Kapoor clan, but also prohibiting the remnants of the Kokom clan from re-branding as the Mayapan royal family. Judging from the actions of the Kapoor clan, they clearly covet and plan for the bloodline of the Serpent Goddess and the legal principles of the Mayapan royal family. I just never thought that some highland Mexica would suddenly appear and cut off my beard...

Thinking of this, Jinmu Kapu turned around expressionlessly and bowed his head to Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea with more formal etiquette. Bertard raised his eyebrows and returned the favor with a smile.

"Greetings to you! The powerful, brave, and leopard-like plateau chief!..."

"Greetings to you! Dear, ancient descendant of Kanur, may the Lord God bless us!..."

Jinmu Kapu's formal gift was not for anything else, but because these barbaric warriors from the plateau were really capable of fighting! In less than a year, this group of plateau barbarians, who manipulated terrifying thunder and fire, had hideous and ugly faces, and brutally sacrificed gods, penetrated the entire western Maya coast, conquered the Puton barbarians, and subdued the Canul clan. , and even reached the Weiyu clan territory on the northern coast!

The Kapoor clan uses a snake spear as its emblem and worships the Mayan war god Brookchabutan as its main god. It is the clan that attaches the most importance to war among the clan states. They are truly in awe of such powerful force. However, it is precisely because of the fear of the force of the plateau barbarians that the Kapoor clan has always maintained a neutral wait-and-see attitude, unwilling to end easily.

When the plateau barbarians began to conquer the subordinates of the Xiwu clan and turned against the old jungle enemies that had been fighting with the clan for many years, the Kapoor clan not only did not send out troops to attack, but quietly shrank its army and took the initiative to reduce the pressure on the Xiwu clan on the eastern front...

"The God of War and the ancestors witness! The divine objects are real, the descendants of gods are real, and the Sun War God of the plateau is a brave and powerful god worthy of respect!..."

Kaneki Kapu’s voice was loud and his eyes were focused. On the one hand, he affirmed the status of the main god of the plateau in the land of Maya, showing the flexibility of the bottom line of belief. On the other hand, he announced that the Kapoor clan would remain neutral and would not join Mayapan's restoration war for the time being.

"However, for the revival of the Mayapan royal family and the renewal of the master-slave covenant... this is a very important event! The Kapoor clan needs to wait until the auspicious day of the New Year to ask the gods and ancestors in the divine world for divination to get a clear enough understanding of the divine realm. Only after responding can you make a decision!…”

After saying that, Jinmu Kapu lowered his head again, bowed respectfully to Bertard, and gave a perfunctory bow to Tiakin. Then, without waiting for the two of them to respond, he immediately turned around and left.

"."

Seeing Jinmu Kapu leaving, the messenger of the Tais clan, the 'Wild Boar' Tai Xi'ao also quickly stood up. As a vassal of the Kapoor clan, the Theis clan naturally does not have the power to choose independently. But before leaving, Tessieu also lowered his long divine head, bowed to Tiakim and Bertad, and then hurriedly left the palace.

"Huh? The Kapoor clan, which has been fighting with the Xiwu clan for decades, actually chooses to be neutral?..."

Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea kept his expression unchanged, but many thoughts flashed through his heart. And soon, the elder messenger of the Ekabu chiefdom, the Moon Mother Goddess Shirahoshi Ishi, also stood up to express his position, with conservative hostility in his narrow eyes.

"Ixichel, the mother of the moon, shrouds the Mayan jungle. She will not allow the gods of the plateau to trespass into the realm of the gods!... Even if the skulls of the ancient saints are real, even if the disappeared Mayan royal family reappears... the ancient gods The home of the gods, the territory of the descendants of the Mayan gods, will never be allowed to be invaded by the gods of the plateau again!..."

"The Ekabu Alliance will stand together with the Xiwu clan to resist the barbarian invasion on the plateau! Just like our ancestors, five hundred years ago, resisted the Toltec Legion on the plateau together!..."

After hearing the hostile stance of the Ekabu chiefdom, the Mayan businessman Tikalo finally couldn't help but stand up. He stared at the Ekabu Alliance envoy, who was also older and bald, and scolded him angrily.

"Damn it! Baixing Ixi, have you forgotten the generosity of the Mayapan royal family in canonizing the Moon Mother Goddess and the Yandao Goddess, and allowing you to govern yourself?!... What's more, the Ixi clan you belong to is only the Ekabu Alliance. One of the two major clans! Can your decision represent the position of the Yandao clan? How can the priests of the Tulum Temple allow you to represent it at will?!..."

"Ha! Tikalo, you old fox who smuggles Mayan sacred smoke, digs the tombs of divine descendants, resells ancestral ritual artifacts... and competes with the Ekabu Alliance for business! Don't think that you are getting along with the plateau barbarians and taking out the ancestral artifacts. , you can dictate to the Mayan states! If you have the ability, you can lead your fleet to Port Ekab!..."

Shirahoshi Ixi curled her lips in disdain and raised her slender head even more. He took a deep breath, looked at the statue of the main god, and cursed in the Eastern Mayan dialect.

"Ha! Another evil god from the plateau, just like the Quetzalcoatl God Kukulkan and the Rain God Chak brought by the Toltecs! The truly sacred ancient clans will only worship the oldest Sky Serpent and the Rain God. Moon Mother, Cloud God and Death!...The Yandao Clan, like the Ixi Clan, is an ancient clan inherited before the Toltec invasion! Our two clans will always stand side by side. Our stance, It also represents the Ekabu Alliance. As for the priests of the Great Temple of Tulum, they hate the evil gods from the plateau even more!..."

"Bah! What the Kokom clan, what Mayakuhuahao! Although I am old, my snake eyes are still very clear!... You are just puppets controlled by the plateau barbarians, and deceptive feather crests on the heads of the barbarians and alien gods!... Hey ! What a pity, what a pity! Such a perfect ancient artifact, such a sacred skull of an ancient saint, would eventually fall into the hands of the plateau barbarians!... The Cocom clan has turned its back on the ancient gods, so damn it!..."

Shirahoshi Ixi squinted and cursed, wishing he could snatch the skull of the ancient saint away on the spot. But when he saw the fierce-looking plateau warriors in the temple holding metal weapons, he could only sigh and shake his head, turned around and left with regret.

"Barbarians, ferocious plateau barbarians! They actually sacrificed the descendants of kapok treetops, how barbaric they are! How can the ancient descendants of the Moon Mother associate with this group of brutal barbarians?..."

"Damn it! These treacherous clan messengers! They have completely forgotten the four hundred years of kindness of the Mayapan royal family!..."

Mayan businessman Tikalo gritted his teeth and cursed silently in his heart. At this moment, he had indeed broken his defense! Although he had long expected that the clan emirates had lost their respect for the Mayapan royal family. But he still didn't expect that even with the help of the power of the Plateau Legion and the legal principles of the ancient holy artifacts, none of the clan states would publicly stand up to support the restoration of the Mayapan royal family!

In fact, for this group of Mayan clans who have already established a country, if they are not forced by the situation, who would be willing to find a high-ranking "king" on their head?

"Ahem! All the gods flew to the God Realm, but only the Ancient Sage remains in the human world... Today I can see the legendary divine object and see the skull of the Ancient Sage with my own eyes. Even if I immediately fall into the arms of the Suicidal Goddess, it is still worth it!..."

There were only three clan envoys left in the hall, and the one who spoke out at this moment was Cornsui Yumu, the envoy of the Corn clan.

The Cochuah clan is located southeast of the Xiu family and directly south of the Kapoor family, deep in the jungle. The main god of the clan is the corn god and cloud god Yumkashi. Due to their geographical isolation, they rarely participated in the fighting and disputes among the lowland tribes, and few clans went deep into the jungle to attack them. But this time they were able to send envoys here, presumably because they were attracted by the legend of the appearance of divine objects.

"Respected Maya Pankuhuahao, if you can produce such a perfect artifact, the Corn Clan will naturally believe in your identity..."

Sui Yumu lowered his long head, tucked his chin, and kept his curved head upright, performing a rather ancient formal etiquette. Then, he grinned, revealing his teeth that were deliberately sharpened and inlaid with gems, and spoke in a warm and harmonious voice.

"The white clouds are misty, and the God of Corn is flying above! The Corn Clan has always stayed away from the disputes among various tribes. We are deep in the jungle, and the clan is not very powerful, so we can't help you much... Therefore, the royal family's war against the Xiu Clan may not be easy for the Corn Clan. We are unable to send troops..."

"However, dear Mayapan Kuhuahao, the Corn Clan is willing to serve you and renew the ancient royal master-slave covenant... As long as the conditions of the covenant remain unchanged, the royal family will continue to promise the autonomy of the Corn Clan..."

"."

Hearing such conditions, Tiakin pursed his lips and glanced at his uncle Tikalo. The Corn clan deep in the jungle was unwilling to send troops, and they didn't even mention their belief in the main god. After all, they are only willing to verbally recognize the royal family and continue to maintain the status quo of clan autonomy. At best, they are friendly and neutral. Such conditions…

"Your Majesty the Sun God! Dear Descendant of the Corn God, your loyalty to the royal family has been witnessed by the gods and ancient saints!..."

Mayan businessman Tikalo took a deep breath and showed a friendly smile. He also lowered his head and tucked his chin, and nodded twice in return with his long head. Then, he sighed softly and smiled.

"Ancestors witness! The royal family is naturally willing to accept the loyalty of the Maize clan. The Cocom clan also fully recognizes the conditions you proposed! However, the official signing of the master-slave covenant will have to wait until the royal army destroys the Xiwu rebel clan and returns During Mayapan, in front of the sacred and ancient Mayan palace, we renewed our oath in front of the ancestors of the royal family!..."

"Destroy Xiwu and return to Mayapan? Will we make an alliance then?..."

Sui Yumu blinked and was startled for a moment before understanding what Ti Carlo meant. This is dissatisfaction with the conditions of the covenant! If we really have to wait until the army destroys Xiu and the royal family returns to Mayapan, then the conditions of the covenant... huh? Is the Kokom clan really so confident that it can defeat the powerful Xiwu clan? In other words, are the plateau barbarians really that powerful? …

"Ah! It should be so! The Corn clan is waiting for the royal family's call at any time... With the blessings of the gods! The royal family will definitely return to the capital of Mayapan and unify the sixteen clans!..."

Sui Yumu's expression changed, and finally a smiling face emerged. He smiled and saluted Tiakin, then saluted and greeted Bertard, and then left gently and slowly.

I'm exploring my claws at the beginning of the month and asking for votes.
