v1 Chapter 229: The capital and the throne

"What a magnificent city!"

Shulot, wearing armor and bow, stared at the capital not far away, with a smile of admiration on his face. He closed one eye, stretched out his left arm, and gave a thumbs up. Just by looking around, he knew that the city wall was eight or nine meters high and an astonishing two or three kilometers wide.

The bluestone walls are engraved with symbols of gods, and the wide city gates are engraved with gold and silver patterns. On the tall city wall, there are many militiamen with spears in their hands, and warriors with bows and arrows. In the guarding militia, there were many bricks, woods, stones, and clay pots filled with lime.

Shulot's gaze stopped for a moment among the defenders of the city wall. He estimated the ratio of warriors to militiamen, and then looked at the large number of tribesmen in Turks costumes, and his smile grew brighter.

"What a majestic spectacle!"

The young commander raised his head, jumped over the high city wall, looked up at the taller "House of Wind" Yakata, and continued to laugh in admiration.

According to the report of the scouts, Qin Congcan City covers an area of ​​six or seven square kilometers, and is usually home to more than 40,000 residents. It is the largest city in Central America. At this time, including the people around the lake area, the number of people in the city will at least double.

In the center of this vast big city, is the ancient vicissitudes of the Yakata pyramid "House of Wind". The five circular Yakata pyramids are connected in a line, plus the extended affiliated temples and priests' residences, the length is nearly two miles! The lowest two sides are about 30 meters high, and the three main **** pyramids in the center are nearly 50 meters high. Looking up, the huge pyramids are like towering mountains and giant beasts. And the flaming holy fire was lit on the temple at the top of the pyramid, like the burning eyes of a giant beast.

"The great city that has prospered for thousands of years, the capital of the kingdom of two hundred years, is indeed well-deserved!"

With a smile in his eyes, Xiulote looked at this ancient city as if he saw his own treasure. Then, he tilted his head slightly, looked at the descendants who were being brought beside him, and asked with a smile.

"Why did the Ospies, Orta, the people of the lake build such a magnificent pyramid? What is the place of this wonder in the hearts of the Prepechas?"

"Your Highness, in the myth of the old gods, the city of Qincongcan is the center of the universe, and the pyramid group is the source of heaven and earth. The sun, the earth, and the moon, the divine power of the three main gods stays in the pyramid, driving the rising and falling of the sun and the moon. , the vegetation withered and prospered, maintaining the operation of the world. Ordinary civilians have never had contact with the supreme Lord God, and the old three gods are their beliefs that have been passed down for thousands of years. Of course, the power of the Lord God is supreme and omnipotent. In my opinion, the Sun Lord God Library Ricavelli, maybe just an incarnation of the main **** Huitzilopochtli."

Sky Patriarch Horta spoke respectfully. After he finished speaking, he bent down deeply and saluted Shilot.

Shulot nodded, patted the other party's shoulder, and looked at Ospie with a smile.

There was a complicated look on Ospie's face. In front of him is the glorious capital of Tarasco, and behind him are tens of thousands of Mexica warriors. Returning to the capital in such a way, how could he not let him feel emotional? After a few breaths, Marshal Crocodile sighed. He bowed his head and saluted, and explained in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness, the Yakata Pyramid was built by the ancestors of the lake area, and the inheritance can even last for thousands of years. It is not only the seat of the gods, but also the tomb of the royal family and nobles, the venue for festival ceremonies, and the place where the people in the lake entrust their spirits. where!

For the high priests, the pyramid group is still the star observation platform, which is the sacred place to set the time of day. The corridors between the pyramids point to a fixed north-south direction, and the masonry in front of the pyramids has an accurate width and is cut in strict hierarchical order. Every rise and fall of the sun leaves a changing projection in front of the masonry, specifying precise times. Two days a year, the projection of the pyramid points to the center of the masonry. The first day is the time to prepare for spring ploughing, and the second day is to prepare for the autumn harvest.

Your Highness, everyone in Prepecha believes that the souls of the dead will travel along the Pyramid of Yakata, guided by the goddess of the moon, to the kingdom of the dead underground. The temple on the tower can be changed, but the pyramid itself is long-lasting. After the capture of Qin Cong Can City, if you want to rule the land in the lake firmly and lastingly, please show mercy to this spectacle..."

"The Spring Equinox... It turned out to be a large-scale Corona Observatory, a classical spectacle...".

After listening to the story of Russian, Shilot pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Very good! Don't worry crocodile, the Prepecha people will be my people, and I will respect the cultural heritage of the people in the lake!...I am a firm spectacle controller..."

When it came to the last sentence, Shilott's voice was barely audible. Ospie didn't hear clearly, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he just saluted again gratefully.

Shulot looked around, and beside the magnificent "House of Winds" was the magnificent kingdom palace, "Palace of Winds". The height of the "Palace of Winds" is similar to that of the central pyramid. It is surrounded by a circle of solid stone buildings. Above the palace is a pavilion made of stone and wood, and there are balconies with flying curtains. On the highest pavilion, a tall old man dressed in gold and silver clothes was looking at the legion outside the city halfway across the capital.

Shiloh stared for a moment, the old man was just a small dot the size of an ant, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He retracted his gaze and continued to observe the defense of the city wall. After a while, he smiled and said,

"The military deployment is rigorous and orderly. The chief minister of Tarasco is indeed the mainstay, and his reputation is well-deserved! What do you think is the weakness of this city and how to attack it?"

Hearing His Highness's inquiry, the young Horta raised his head and hesitated. After a while, he lowered his head and said.

"His Royal Highness, since Kasungchisuangwa has been captured by you, the authority of Chief Zinzini is nothing but a stream of water without a source. He cannot really unite the nobles and suppress the priests. Although this city is strong, its people are chaotic, and the key points are Among nobles and priests!"

"Well, people are confused. Well said!"

Shulot nodded in praise and looked up at Ospie. The Crocodile Marshal lowered his head and said nothing.

"I have seen this city, let's go here today!"

Shirot chuckled and shook his head. He turned and walked away, admiring the scenery around the capital. There are lakes with convenient transportation, fertile and cultivated fields, dense villages and towns, and lush spring. The young king finally couldn't help laughing, his laughter was full of joy.

"Located in the northwest of the world, the terrain is high and broad. The water and soil are lush, and the people are prosperous. There are large rivers in the north and south, and mountains in the east. The mountains and rivers are crisscrossed, and the fortresses are fortified. The land in the middle is really fertile soil in Guanzhong, the foundation of the king!"

Shirot laughed and walked away, followed closely by the guards. Although the generals did not understand it, they could feel the pride and joy in the king's heart, and they all smiled. The laughter melted into the spring breeze, and gradually flew away, until the entire lake.

The next week was quiet and uneventful. Nearly 20,000 Mexican legions were fully deployed around Qin Congcan. The vast siege camps were stacked on top of each other, and the elite scouts and warriors patrolled the four directions, completely cutting off the connection between the capital and the outside world. The north and west sides of the royal capital are close to the lake, and the terrain is narrow. Mexica craftsmen built siege platforms in the east and south of the city, and began to build wooden instruments.

Qin Cong Can City lacked elite warriors, unable to attack and harass, and lived on the absolute defensive. Under the chief's order, the four gates of the royal capital were blocked by bricks and completely closed. The defenders on the city wall could only watch dozens of earthen platforms slowly pile up. Even though there is sufficient food in the city, it will take a long time for the earthen platform to surpass the city wall, but the atmosphere of anxiety spreads little by little. A powerful chief controls the capital, and the nobles can only secretly gather. Whenever night falls, there will be secret messengers walking through the darkness, conducting discussions in the shadows.

Xiuluotian sat in the commanding camp in the east of the city, and every day he just summoned the generals, chatted about Tarasco's stories, and asked about history and humanities. He banquets and drinks in the evening, and seems to not take the siege to heart at all. After another week, when the wind of May blew from the east, a messenger finally arrived in a hurry and shouted with joy.

"His Royal Highness! The Supreme King personally led the vanguard of 10,000 warriors and has marched twenty miles to the east!"

Hearing this, Shilot threw away the Prepecha plank in his hand and stood up with the same joy.

"After waiting for a long time, the king is finally here! Bertard, you go to prepare the banquet and check the camp again. The rest of the generals, after a little preparation, come with me to meet the king!"

The golden sunset illuminates the vast land. On the verdant land, there are vast tents and tens of thousands of Mexica legions. Shulot, dressed in the attire of a commander, stood outside the camp gate, waiting for the king whom he had not seen for a long time.

The blood-colored sun flag first appeared from the horizon, followed by the chilling tens of thousands of elites, and finally the noble battle group of 2,000 people. The mighty jaguar warriors wear colorful tiger skins, and the proud eagle warriors wear gorgeous feather coats, and they surround the king at the center.

Wearing a white patterned "Evil Spirit" leather armor and a ferocious "Skull" helmet, Avit strode out of the battle group. On his face was the solemnity of the gods, holding the topaz inheritance scepter in his right hand, and dignifiedly stared at Shurot and the generals who were out of the camp.

Shirot suppressed his inner excitement and slowly knelt to the ground. He bowed to the king in the garb of gods and threw himself to the ground, then raised the marshal's scepter in both hands, and shouted respectfully.

"Blessed by the Lord! Sirius, the commander of the North Road, offers the most sincere greetings to Tratoani of the Alliance! Supreme King, you are my monarch, father and teacher, and I give the honor of victory and the command of the legion. , dedicate it to you together!"

Hearing Shirott's cry, a smile appeared on Avit's solemn face. He took two steps forward, took the scepter from Shirotte's hand, and then gently shook the boy's hair.

"Witness of the gods! Shirott, you are my most outstanding minister, son and student, and I accept the honor of your victory!"

Then, Avet put the scepter back into the boy's hand and shouted with a smile.

"My child, you are my most outstanding general! I will hand over the command of the North Road Corps, together with the advance army of the South Road, into your hands again!"

Then, without waiting for the boy to reply, Avit stretched out his hands and lifted him directly from the ground. Under the watchful eyes of the generals, the king gave the boy an equal and solemn hug. In the face of this kind of super-standard etiquette, Shulot opened his eyes wide in surprise, and was a little overwhelmed for a while. Avette laughed, his right hand clasped the boy's left arm tightly, and then raised it up together to announce to the crowd.

"The witness of the gods! The young eagle of Mexica has taken to the sky and turned into a golden morning sun. His light is unmatched, and his glory is with me!"

"Testimony of the Supreme Lord God! I am the noon sun~lightnovelpub.net~ to rule the vast world and lead the great alliance! And Shilot, is the rising red sun in the sky! In the distant future, when I Go to the kingdom of God, and he will take my place, stand tall in the highest sky, and continue to guide you forward! The Lord God blesses me, and God loves my clan!"

The testimony of the gods is the most solemn oath, and the sun is the symbol of the king. In the face of this sudden announcement of the right of inheritance, the generals of the north and south armies looked at each other for a moment, and then bowed to the ground together.

"Praise the sun god! God bestows the king and His Royal Highness! ... God bless, God loves my clan!"

The thunderous cries spread far and wide. A few hundred steps away, intelligence officer Gillim looked sad. Standing in the shadow of the crowd, he gritted his teeth and sighed deeply. The passionate shouts continued to drift far away, awakening Suangua, who was sleeping in the camp, and Zinzini, who was patrolling the city wall.

Under the witness of the setting sun and the crowd, Shilot finally raised his head. With a bright smile, he looked at the vast sky, towards the supreme Sun Throne, and took the second step that everyone expected.
