The warm spring rain is falling from the sky, pattering, soaking the fields in the Patzcuaro Lake District. May in the lake area is full of busyness. Tens of thousands of farmers are working hard in the fields, as are the legions stationed in the fields. Xiu Luote wore sacrificial clothes, came outside the city, and held the spring plowing ceremony in person.

The Spring Plowing Ceremony was grand and solemn, with hundreds of priests of all levels participating, and fireworks were released to pray to the gods. Fireworks exploded under the cloudy clouds, and strange lights of various colors bloomed in the sky. The devout crowd fell to the ground to pray, with tears of excitement streaming down their eyes. They wholeheartedly praised the supreme Lord God, praying for him to grant a good harvest this year, and bless his sincerely dedicated people.

Half a month has passed since the hot air balloon experiment that raised the eye of the gods, and the news of the miracle has spread widely in the lake area. The people in Gyeonggi witnessed the "gaze of the gods" with their own eyes, and were shocked and awed by the power of the Lord God. The remaining beliefs of the three gods in the Gyeonggi area have finally completely dissipated, and nearly 100,000 people have completely thrown themselves into the broad embrace of the main god.

The spring plowing festival outside the city shouted like thunder, and the sound shook the field. In the Shenwei University in the city, a prayer ceremony for spring plowing was also being held.

Hundreds of apprentices stood respectfully, praying to the sculpture of the sun hummingbird in the school grounds, praising the glory of the Lord God, and thanking the Lord God for his enlightenment. Some devout apprentices even took out obsidian daggers, kissed the amulet of the sun hummingbird, cut the skin of their arms and cheeks, and offered their blood to the noble Lord God!

And after the mark of the main god, a large section of difficult text of the king's "God Enlightenment" has been engraved on the blank stone wall, accompanied by a small handwritten commentary written by Bravo himself.

Shinway University is a university for priests, which specializes in cultivating reserve priests for the kingdom. Under the leadership of Bravo, Shenwei University is closed and mysterious to the outside world, and has strict internal management. In fact, it is no different from a military academy. After the king left, he quickly unified the caliber of the priests and apprentices, controlled the spread of the "mysteries of the gods", and added traditional annotations to the recorded "King's Instructions".

Soon, everything in Shenwei University seemed to return to the religious tradition. The shocking experiments are like fireworks in full bloom, brilliant in an instant and fleeting. It's just that some seeds of the future are deeply left in the hearts of the apprentices.

The girl Elaine followed suit, and returned to the wooden house where the apprentices had finished praying. Not long ago, Vice President Bravo talked to everyone. He distributed a new "Divine Revelation Scripture" to dozens of apprentices in the Divine Enlightenment Institute, and solemnly told the apprentices not to spread it outside without authorization, otherwise they would be punished by God!

Hearing the word "God's Punishment", all the apprentices present were all awe-inspiring, and they lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. Yi Lian didn't know what God's punishment was, but judging from everyone's reaction, it should be very harsh. When it was her turn, Bravo obviously hesitated, but still gave her a copy of the "Divinity Scripture".

When Elaine returned to the hut, she couldn't wait to take out the "Divine Inspiration Scripture". I saw eight mysterious big characters on the cover, "Mystery of the gods, the pictures show nature", and then there are three small characters in the lower right corner, "Book One". It was compiled by the king himself and drawn by court painters. Every page is vivid and tells many novel and interesting natural truths.

The girl doesn't know many characters yet, so she mainly looks at the small figures inside. She bit her finger, quickly flipped through the first few pages she had read, and came to a new one, muttering softly.

"Why, some springs are hot?..."

Elaine was startled, thinking of the hot springs near Colima Volcano. Father especially likes soaking in hot springs, because the knowledge passed down by the tribe told him that the warm spring water contains the blessings of Vulcan, which can make the gods live a long life... Thinking of this, she widened her eyes and looked at the picture that answered.

I saw a group of red flames drawn under the lake on the earth. Then, some cloud-like water vapor rises up and flows to the bottom of the lake... Around the picture, there are explanatory words.

"Deep in the ground, there is a hot flame. The flame melts the rocks into magma, and transmits hot divine energy from the cracks in the earth. The hot steam rises like a fire, heating the bottom of the lake..."

Elaine looked at the picture with difficulty and recognized the words. Her eyes twinkled like butterflies flying among flowers. Before she knew it, the door to the new world was slowly opening to her.

The spring plowing ceremony lasted for a whole day. It wasn't until dusk deepened that Shulot returned to the towering Palace of Winds. He opened the reports from various places, and then recruited court painters to continue writing the enlightenment reading material of Shenqiyuan, "The Mystery of Gods, Illustrating Nature".

This set of books is full of pictures and texts, and tells many common principles in nature, including basic knowledge of astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, and biology. The main content comes from the natural common sense in his memory and the enlightenment books he has read. The common sense picture book is compiled very quickly. There are painters who paint day and night, and now it has been compiled to the third volume.

"When I go to the capital in the lake next month, I happen to bring a set for Alyssa. She will definitely like the basic content of biology..."

The king smiled, thought about the pure and beautiful girl in white clothes, and continued to tell the painter.

"A cell is like a fruit, with a skin on the outside and a core inside, but there are some tiny particles in the middle... Remember, after adding an outer wall to the plant, it can be drawn into a square... Yes, Very good, that's it! Next, draw me a virus...it's a small ball with countless bumps on the surface, just like a round cactus fruit..."

May passed in a hurry, and the farmland in the Lake District sprouted vitality. The corn and beans had been sown long ago, and the pumpkins were almost done. On the field that was first cultivated, a little sprout has already emerged. The farmers have survived the hardest month of January, braving intermittent spring rains to care for new seedlings and deal with weeds in the fields.

At the beginning of June, Xiulot finished handling the kingdom's spring plowing, compiled the fifth book of pictures and documents, and finally received the report from the Divine Enlightenment Institute.

New hot air balloons have been manufactured, and the design of the brazier has been improved to minimize the possibility of fire. The volume of the hot air balloon is slightly increased, and of course it is still far away from being manned. It is named the "Heart of the Gods" because of the painting of a red heart surrounded by the sun hummingbird's mark.

So far, all preparations for the Return to the East Alliance have been completed. In mid-June, in the pattering spring rain, the king bid farewell to the Chief Minister Jatiri, Chief Priest Mavelo, and Gyeonggi Army Commander Olosh who stayed behind in the capital, and entrusted them with important affairs of the kingdom.

The government affairs of the kingdom will be handed over to the sages, the educational affairs will be handed over to Marvelo, and the military affairs will be directed by Olosh. Both the southern part of the kingdom and Gyeonggi will keep quiet, and continue to organize households and people to spread the belief of the main god. And after the autumn harvest, the standing legion needs to be mobilized to be ready to conquer the Tlaxcalans at any time.

And another fourth-level chief priest, the noble priest Ugos, has already taken the lead as an envoy of the kingdom team. He is the son of Ugos, the priest elder of the alliance. He grew up in the capital of the lake, and he is the most suitable candidate for communication.

Afterwards, the king led 3,000 guard warriors, carrying hundreds of boxes of expensive betrothal gifts, dozens of light and heavy bronze cannons, hundreds of fireworks of various colors and a small hot air balloon, and officially set off from the capital of King Chin Cong Can to the north. Waterway to Union.

Surrounded by the Black Wolf King Banner, three thousand imperial guards headed north in a mighty manner. Because of the heavy luggage, the army could only travel thirty miles a day. At the end of June, Xiulot arrived in Hekou County. Toltek the black wolf, Kuluka the monkey, and Ospai the crocodile had already been waiting for a long time, and went twenty miles out of the city to meet them.

"Your Highness! Black Wolf Toltek, I salute you!"

After not seeing him for several months, Hei Lang's expression became much calmer. As the head of the Guajili Legion, he needed to return to the north with the dog-born soldiers, so after the Southern Expedition ended, he stayed in the Northland. Seeing the king at this time, Hei Lang's eyes were full of excitement. His face was still full of confidence, but his brows were slightly calm.

"Your Highness, please take me with you as your bodyguard when you go east to the alliance!"

Xiulot smiled and patted Hei Lang on the shoulder, shaking his head.

"Black Wolf, you are already the leader of the legion, and you cannot leave the legion easily. Comfort the Guajili warriors for me! After the wedding ceremony, the alliance army will march eastward against the old enemy Tlaxcala, and the Guajili army will join me in the battle !"

Hearing this, Hei Lang gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Highness, I will fight for you, no matter who the enemy is! The Lord God blesses you, and if you go east to the alliance, everything will go well!"

"Lord God bless!"

Shulot nodded with a smile, and looked at the monkey Kuluka again.

"Your Highness! Monkey Kuluka, I greet you!"

The monkey Kuluka, wearing a simple samurai uniform, knelt down in the mud and paid homage to the king. Then, he raised his head, with a sincere smile on his face, and cautiously advised.

"Your Highness, when I heard that you were assassinated last year, my heart felt like it was on fire... It wasn't until the Guajili Army returned to the north, and I chatted with the leader of the Black Wolf, that my heart finally settled down... Your Highness, you are the kingdom The pillar of all our legions, the only king... Please be careful and keep your body safe... Going to the alliance, you are completely different from four years ago, and many things are not the same as before... Please Be careful!"

Hearing these words, Shulot raised his eyebrows slightly and fell silent. Behind him, the warrior chief Bertard nodded slightly, agreeing. After a while, the king smiled and reached out to lift Kuluka up.

"Okay! My Legion Commander, I remember what you said!...I read your letter. After last autumn, the Pike Corps fought well. Its own losses were extremely slight, and it looted 20,000 chariots." The population of the Pala Lake area has broken through the blocking Feather Legion!"

"Your Highness, last year the legion attacked westward and achieved excellent results. There are three main factors."

Speaking of last year's crusade, the monkey Kuluka smiled.

"One is that the main force of the king's army went south, and the Chapala Lake area was not on guard. When I led the army to plunder, the main force of the Feather Legion was in the north of Chapala, guarding the edge of the wasteland, guarding against the harassment of the Guamal dog descendants. Locally There are only some militias that have formed camps, and there is no decent resistance."

Hearing this, Xiu Luo nodded and smiled approvingly.

The Guamal people are one of the eight tribes of dog descendants. They are located in the west of Guamare State. They are half farming and half hunting in the wilderness. The kingdom has always had business dealings with Guamal dogs and maintained a good relationship. Among them, the former caravan director and poet Baramo contributed a lot. Last year, Kuluka attacked westward and raided the Chapala Lake area. The two sides cooperated tacitly.

"Secondly, Guajili Ding Zhuang moves swiftly, turns like the wind, and can run sixty or seventy miles a day. Their combat quality is very high, far surpassing the militiamen left behind in villages and towns, and they are especially suitable for small-scale looting. And when you encounter a large group of enemy warriors, you can escape in time."

"Well said!"

Shulot smiled and glanced at Hei Lang. Guajili's fighter style actually fits Heilang very well, and they are both good players in mobile warfare. The only regret is that there are no horses in Central America, otherwise...

"The third is that the Royal Navy has the upper hand and can hold down the Chapala navy. There are a large number of new catamaran warships, and the Prepecha sailors are brave and brave. And more importantly, the Navy regiment The long crocodile Russian faction is an excellent general who is really good at water warfare!"

Hearing the monkey's praise, Shulot turned around and looked at Ospie who had been standing behind without saying a word. He smiled and waved to the other party.

Ospai bowed his head, stepped forward respectfully, and knelt down on the ground.

"Lord God bless! Hereditary aristocrat Ospai, salute to Your Majesty! May you, like a majestic eagle, soar in the lake and rule over thousands of people!"

Shulot saw Ospai's respectful expression for a while, and nodded in satisfaction.

The kingdom is bounded by the Leman River in the north and the Tarsas River in the south. The two rivers are not connected to each other in the kingdom, and both flow westward into the Pacific Ocean. The newly formed Kingdom Navy is also divided into two branches, the southern and the northern.

The southern navy is being formed, and now there are only a few hundred small civilian canoes, which are expected to be handed over to the leader of Huitu Puap. The Northern Navy has inherited the foundation of the Tarasco Kingdom, and has the Northern Shipbuilding Division, which has given priority to development. Now there are one or two hundred large canoe warships and hundreds of small canoe warships.

No matter in what era, water warfare is a technical activity that requires experience and inheritance. As for the candidate for the regiment commander of the Northern Navy, Xiu Luote thought for a long time, and still chose the crocodile Russian faction, who was proficient in water warfare and showed obedience.

As for Anatri, she was born in the navy family of the alliance and is the head of the navy of the Mexica alliance. Although she has a close relationship with the samurai commander and has served Shulot during the Northern Expedition, she is actually a subordinate of King Avit and is under the direct jurisdiction of the alliance, so it is impossible for her to serve in the Kingdom of the Lake. On the other hand, Anatri, who is close to the kingdom, stays in the position of head of the alliance navy, which is more beneficial to the overall situation of the kingdom.

"The Lord God bless you! Ospai, you did a good job, you have lived up to my trust!"

Xiulot stretched out his hand, and helped the crocodile Ospai up kindly~lightnovelpub.net~ He watched the other party's vicissitudes of life, and said with a smile.

"My crocodile captain, you have fought several times with the Feather Sailor, how do you feel?"

Ospe pursed his lips, lowered his head, and a complex look flashed across his face. Fate is so unpredictable. A few years ago, he and the Feather Navy fought against the Mexica Navy in a **** battle in the flames of Lake Uriria. But now, he is willing to fight for the kingdom established by the Mexica, conquering allies who have betrayed...

After counting breaths, Ospai adjusted his mood and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom's double-hulled canoes are cheap and large in number, far superior to the water army in the Chapala Lake area. We also have powerful crossbows and rockets. It is not difficult to win. It's just a double-hulled warship. Once a warship shows up, it will be quickly imitated by the enemy. To completely defeat the Feather Sailor, one must wait for a certain number of more powerful galley warships to accumulate..."

Hearing this, Xiulot nodded first, then shook his head. He turned around and pointed at the ranks of Imperial Guard warriors, and smiled meaningfully.

"Ospai, that's not necessarily the case!"
