Following the man's words, the hall was suddenly quiet, and it seemed that even the breeze had stopped.

Xiu Luote stood where he was, watching quietly. Although I haven't seen him for many years, the old man's appearance has not changed at all, as if carved out of stone and wood. He just paused for a few breaths, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his head in return.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Greetings to you, respected female snake of the alliance, the chief advisor of the royal family! May you be like the wings of an eagle, accompany the king to fly high, and rule the world!"

"Lord God bless!"

Gilliam stood up slowly, bowed and saluted again. Afterwards, he came forward, with a distant citation in his hand, and a sincere admiration in his mouth.

"Your Highness, it is a joy to see you again after a few years. You are the eagle of the west and the long snake of Mikencho. With the bravery and wisdom inspired by God, you rule the kingdom of the lake in the alliance! ..."

"In just a few years, the Kingdom of the Lake was established in the west, and it became more and more prosperous. Centralization and restructuring, implementation of county government, garrisoning and organizing households, granting military merits, promoting industry and controlling business, god-inspired creations, southern expeditions and northern wars, changes and divisions... What do you want? Every achievement I have made, and every time I hear about it, I am full of admiration and admiration!"

Speaking of this, Gilliam fell to the ground again and paid homage.

"It's a blessing for the Mexicans that the gods gave His Highness enlightenment! Please let me pray for you, as a Mexican, may your divine enlightenment be immortal! God bestows His Highness, praise the Lord God!"

"Dear Chief Advisor..."

Shulot hurriedly stepped forward to lift Gilliam up. The chief intelligence officer resolutely fell to the ground, and performed a complete etiquette solemnly. Afterwards, he raised his head and looked at Shulot calmly, with only sincere sincerity and approval in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiusoke, who had been sitting upright, raised his brows. He sighed softly, stood up to persuade, and also supported the chief intelligence officer.

The father and son persuaded again and again, and Gilliam slowly got up. He straightened his clothes lightly, with a smile still on his face. The three greeted each other, and then formally took their seats. Shulot and Gilliam faced each other, and Xiusock was still sitting sideways.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiulot pondered for a while and asked frankly.

"Dear Chief Advisor, you have always been very busy participating in the political affairs of the alliance. This time, I asked my father to invite me here. I don't know why?"

Gilliam put away his smile and turned serious. He replied respectfully.

"Your Highness, I have been entrusted by the king to come here this time. I have four important tasks... The first thing is to report to you: the noble rebellion in Tracopan has been subsided, and the 20,000 rebels will be killed. The kingdom in the lake was exiled, and everything in the capital returned to normal. The elder of the royal family, Kakamazin, discussed with the king yesterday, and set the wedding between you and Princess Alyssa on an auspicious day ten days later!"

"Ten days later?!"

Hearing this, Shulot was taken aback, and an uncontrollable joy welled up in his heart. In his mind, a slender figure in white clothes, a beautiful and pure face, and a pair of tender eyes appeared.

"Alyssa, my love... there are still ten days until our wedding!"

Hearing that his son's wedding date had been set, Xiusoke was overjoyed with a smile all over his face. He patted Xiaoji and smiled happily.

"Okay, great! Haha, respected female snake, it turns out that you will also tell good news from your mouth!"

"Haha! Captain Xiu Suoke, facing the heroes of the alliance, I am naturally a bird of good news."

Gilliam's smile didn't change. Over the past few years, in order to reform and centralize power, the central government has set up large prisons many times. I don't know how many alliance nobles died in his hands. And his reputation among the nobles is probably like a dead black-headed vulture, which is chilling to hear.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed. The three chatted and laughed, chatted about wedding arrangements, and praised Kakamazin, the elder of the royal family. Afterwards, Gilliam looked at the expressions of the two, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Respected His Royal Highness Xiu Luote, respected Commander Xiu Suoke... The second priority of this visit is to discuss the preparations for the Eastern Expedition! After His Highness is married, the mobilization of the Eastern Expedition will begin preparations The Tlaxcalans relied on the mountains in the east to build many dangerous mountain fortresses and garrisoned many skilled archers... The biggest challenge for the Alliance in this Eastern Expedition is not a field battle, but a siege of the fortress.. .”

Hearing this, Xiulot nodded slightly. The alliance has conquered the Tlaxcala Alliance several times, but they were all blocked by stacked fortresses. The Tlaxcalans, on the other hand, regard Misquartel, the **** of hunting, as their main god. Both warriors and militiamen practice bows and arrows and are very good at defense. The steep fortress in the mountains and the huge number of archers are the biggest obstacles to the Eastern Expedition!

"Your Highness, among your congratulatory gifts to the Kingdom, there are 36 Rain God Tiger Crouching Cannons and 4 Sun Condor Cannons. These bronze cannons are powerful and have the power bestowed by the gods! And the Sun Condor Cannons can be fired hundreds of steps away. Cannons destroy trees and rocks, and are even more powerful weapons for attacking cities and destroying enemies!...However, after studying the Condor Cannon, the craftsmen of the Artisan Camp found it extremely difficult to manufacture..."

Gilliam's words changed, and his expression became solemn. He suddenly knelt down and saluted, his expression becoming more sincere. "Your Highness, in order to facilitate the alliance's Eastern Expedition and reduce the casualties of the warriors... Please also send the bronze master craftsman from the Kingdom of the Lake to guide the alliance's god-inspired cannon-casting technology! As for the Dingkou and The food and the alliance can provide sufficient support."

After Gilliam finished speaking, he fell on the ground respectfully and remained motionless. Needle dropping could be heard in the main hall. Shulot looked at his father, and both of them frowned.

"The alliance asks for the cannon-casting technology for attacking the fortress..."

Shulot pursed his lips and remained silent. The chief intelligence officer made such a request, obviously because he has enough awareness of the power of the bronze cannon.

With the current technical level, the casting of bronze cannons is very difficult. Although the Kingdom accepted Tarasco's bronze craftsmen and mastered many casting inheritances, it could only barely select a usable condor cannon through the clumsy method of large-scale casting...not to mention the lack of inheritance alliances .

When he presented the bronze cannon, he was ready to be asked for technology, but the request came so quickly, which was far beyond his expectations.

"It seems that the alliance respects force, and its sensitivity to military innovation is indeed very high."

Shulot pondered for a long time before making a decision. Avit's ambition is in the world, and he is naturally determined to win the artillery technology for siege. It is not difficult to reject the chief intelligence officer, but it is very difficult to reject King Avet behind him, especially at such a sensitive time when he is in the capital preparing for his wedding.

After thinking for a moment, Shulot lowered his eyes and replied in a deep voice.

"Dear Lady Snake, since you are in charge of alliance information, you must know the Kingdom of the Lake very well... Apart from cannon-casting technology, I am afraid there are other requirements? You might as well say it together and let the Kingdom prepare in advance."

"See you, Your Highness."

Gilliam smiled slightly, hearing the promise in Shulot's words. He nodded solemnly and replied respectfully.

"Your Highness, the third priority is for the smooth conquest of the Tlaxcalans, and for the future conquest of the Totonacs and Mixtecs...the royal family needs to learn new shipbuilding from the Kingdom of the Lake. Technology. Build the crocodile galley, strengthen the alliance's navy, and gain advantages on the north and south rivers... Your Highness, please also send the master shipbuilder of Preepeca to guide the shipbuilder of the alliance!"

"Ask for the shipbuilding technology that will determine the future..."

Hearing this, Xiulot's eyes moved. He took a careful look at Gilliam, surprised by his keen sense of smell. After thinking about it for a while, he gradually had a plan in his mind.

The alliance has a lot of dry logs in the shade, and an astonishing number of butchers and craftsmen, with a strong potential for shipbuilding. And strengthening the overall strength of the alliance's navy and cultivating skilled shipbuilders is beneficial and harmless to the overall situation of the world. After all, the colonists of the West are coming...

"Dear Lady Snake, does the king have any other requests?"

Gilliam watched carefully, but he couldn't see any dissatisfaction in Shulot. He was a little surprised, paused for a while, and then spoke again.

"The last important thing is the king's entrustment. Princess Alyssa is the eldest daughter of the king. She has a respectable status and a noble status. She is also the most cherished flower of the royal family. The alliance will set aside 500 hectares of Chinanampa fief. Wan directly belongs to the vassals, five hundred family warriors, as the enfeoffment of the eldest princess."

Gilliam fell to the ground again and paid homage. Although his heart hurts, he still has to follow the king's instructions.

"The king asked that besides land, population and warriors, the eldest princess also needs financial support. Please, after getting married, please hand over all the gem trade in the kingdom to the eldest princess!"

"...Hand over the gem trade, to Alyssa?"

Hearing this, Shulot was startled. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Can!"

Hearing this, Xiusoke frowned. He looked at his son, wanted to say something, but forcibly held back, and sighed softly.

"well..."

"Good! Your Highness is really generous!"

Gilliam finished his salute with a sincere smile on his face.

"In that case, I will report to the king..."

"slow!"

Xiulot's expression changed~lightnovelpub.net~ and he spoke solemnly.

"Alyssa is my wife, and the woman I love the most. It is reasonable to entrust the gem trade to her. Similarly, I can entrust the artillery and shipbuilding technology to the alliance...but it takes a city Come change!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Gilliam's smile disappeared silently. With a slightly cold expression, he said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the feudal kingdom in the lake is a vassal of the alliance, and should obey the royal order of the central royal family! The Texcoco Lake District is directly under the alliance, and the rest of the states also belong to each other... I don't know which city your highness wants. one?"

"Respected Lady Snake, please rest assured. That city is not in the alliance, let alone the fiefdom of any great nobleman."

Xiulot smiled faintly, took out a simple map of the world from his arms, and unfolded it in front of the two of them. Then, he moved his finger and pressed a little on the east side of the map. Under the surprised eyes of the two, he said loudly.

"The city I want is here!"
