Remember [New] in a second! "...When and where does it hit before it stops?"

Hearing the king's tone of inquiry, the black wolf Toltek was startled and pondered for a long time.

If according to His Highness's request, he captured the ancient city of Feathered Serpent, and won a kingdom's seaport along the coast of the East China Sea, it would be regarded as having accomplished his goal. But according to his original intention, it is natural to continue to attack the Totonac tribes until they can't be beaten!

Although the conquest all the way to the east was unexpected at the beginning, the follow-up progress was very smooth, and the results obtained were astonishing. The army's morale, weapons and equipment, organizational training, and familiarity with large-scale wars of Wang's army all have been stabilized and stabilized over the heads of Totonac's ministries that have been in Taiping for many years. The tribes of Totonak were unprepared, and they were attacked by the Lake Army, which was also a vassal state of the Sovereign Alliance, and they were stunned. The coastal states responded very slowly. The military forces were not mobilized and united at all, and they were defeated one by one, and one third of them surrendered.

Under such circumstances, from an external strategic point of view, as the supreme commander of the legion, he must continue to move eastward quickly while the seaside ministries are being beaten! It's like a pack of wolves chasing a herd of deer. Only by not giving the other party any chance to breathe and recuperate can they catch the most prey.

Similarly, from an internal strategic point of view, the Black Wolf Army's core force is only 8,000 Guajili Army, plus a few thousand meters of Stek troops. At this moment, the army is rolling and expanding. Counting the 3,200 newly surrendered soldiers from the Water Ministry, there are more than 8,000 soldiers from the various tribes in Totonac alone!

There are so many surrendered soldiers who have seen blood. According to the territory currently controlled by the Black Wolf Army, it is impossible to support them. The soldiers who surrendered to the kingdom only had fear of force. Before enfeoffing the land and serfs, there was no loyalty at all. At this moment, under the pressure of the kingdom's warriors, they promised to plunder in return. They are warriors who can be controlled, can inspire **** courage, and have blood on their hands to attack other seaside tribes who are not close to them.

If the brutal war of conquest continues, the number of surrendered soldiers will gradually be consumed, and the legion will also be able to capture enough land, population and wealth to accommodate the surrendered warriors. And if the war ceases here, the looting cannot be continued, and the external enemies gather again, I am afraid that it will not be long before the legion itself will explode!

"If Yao Lin hadn't mentioned Jiang Ershui City, the army would have completely conquered this place, and the Jiang army would have killed one or two thousand people in battle, and completely looted Qinbo Ali, which would have satisfied the appetite of the warriors. But now, there are a few more Thousands of troops have been sent down, and the loot is very limited, so the war must continue!..."

"The number of wolves is increasing, their viciousness is becoming stronger and stronger, and their desire for prey is also increasing! If there is not enough flesh and blood to feed them, they will attack the wolf king..."

Thinking of this, Black Wolf Toltek frowned, feeling a little tricky. He silently clenched the bronze sword at his waist, thinking about the specific battle situation in front of him. Right now the army is as powerful as the sea, the waves are chasing the waves, rushing towards the east in a turbulent manner, there is no room for retreating. But from a tactical point of view, at least they had to attack Jinwan City, sweep all the tribes of Jinwan, and plunder a lot, so that they could barely feed their warriors and soldiers!

"Respected King's Messenger, judging from the current situation, the Totonac rebels are gathering rapidly with Jinwan City in the southeast as the center!... We must at least approach Jinwan City and completely wipe out Jamapa River (jamapariver), that is, west of the adobe river, can break the backbone of the Totonak people, cut things off, and let them lose the western tribes completely!"

"What? Attack Jinwan City and sweep the Jamapa River?"

Hearing this, the king's envoy Yao Lin pursed his lips and swallowed hard. The Jamapa River, 20 miles east of Jinwan City, can be regarded as the dividing line between East and West Totonac. If the west of the Jamapa River is completely swept away, it is tantamount to taking the land of West Totonac! And the seaside tribes that the conqueror Montezuma I vassalized were limited to the land of West Totonac....

In other words, this is to completely overthrow the vassal system established by the Alliance for 30 years on the coast of Totonac! This is to overthrow the old stable order and start again, it is a war of destroying the country like the Tlaxcala Eastern Expedition!

"Lord God! How can I explain this to the vassals of the world? How can I report to the king of the capital and explain to the great nobles of the alliance?"

Thinking of this, Yao Lin's complexion changed several times, and anxiety appeared in his eyes. Although he is an envoy of the king and was born in a royal branch noble, but in terms of standpoint, he is the most traditional alliance noble, inclined to the conservative old order, and naturally opposes this kind of thorough order change!

Yao Lin's elder brother, Yao Ke, the third-level priest, as a branch of the God of War, is in charge of the prison in the capital of the king, and he is in charge of the most conservative royal power. In the past 30 years, his grandfather, his father, and he have all served as the royal envoys of the alliance in Totonac, and have been in contact with Erashui City for a long time, responsible for the collection and transfer of local tribute. This kind of familiar relationship with the vassal tribes for generations was the reason why King Avit sent him east to mediate the conflict on the seashore, and it was also the basis of trust for him to persuade the local nobles to surrender to the alliance.

Since succeeding to the throne, King Avet has been ambitious, religious reforms, conquests from west to east, strengthening centralization of power, and aiming at unification! But in fact, in the entire alliance, there are not many great nobles who can really look at the world, keep up with the king, and move forward. Even among the royal family and nobles, like Yao Lin, conservative forces who maintain the traditional order and follow alliance practices still occupy the majority!

There has never been a precedent for complete unification in the world, and there has never been a centralized system. As part of the royal family, they bowed their heads and supported the king's crusade. But from the perspective of their inner concepts and their own interests, they do not necessarily agree with this drastic change and expansion.

"The Western Expedition to Tarasco is the elder's will, and it is also for the Eastern Expedition to eliminate hidden dangers. The Eastern Expedition to Tlaxcala is to completely defeat the alliance's old enemy and eliminate the threat that is imminent. Now the east and west of the Mexica Valley The threat has been eliminated! Regardless of Mixtec, Zapotec, or the current Totonac people, they are all willing to surrender and pay tribute, and dare not take the initiative to offend the alliance. However, the king's wanton centralization of power now violates the Tradition, the noisy nobles of various states are making noise, and the alliance is not stable..."

"Bless the Lord God! The hegemony of the alliance has been established in the world, and there are no worries from the outside world. If this is the case, why bother to go out and continue to conquer the four directions? To maintain the traditional and stable order, why not worry about it being passed on for hundreds of years?... 20 Shuicheng is more than 700 miles away from the royal capital. Even with the martial arts of the first king Montezuma I, he did not take it as a direct subordinate, but established a vassal here to collect tribute! Just like now, even if the army in the lake is defeated The land of Totonac is so far away, how can it be directly under the rule? In the end, it is not necessary to entrust the upstarts and establish vassals, and it will be the same after decades..."

Complicated thoughts emerged from Yao Lin's mind, and then disappeared in reality one by one. After a while, he took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"Witness of the Lord God! Respected leader of the Black Wolf Army, on behalf of the king, I want to ask you: Are you sure that after attacking Jinwan City and sweeping the Jamapa River, the expedition of the Army in the Lake will end here? After that, Qinbo Ali’s vassal tribute must be maintained as it is, and paid on time!...I need a clear guarantee to give an account to the supreme king!"

"Witness of the Lord God! I, the conquest of the Black Wolf Legion... will come..."

Black Wolf Toltek looked solemn and opened his mouth to answer, but his voice was a bit difficult. He knew that if the answer at this moment fell into the ears of King Avit, it would be a solemn political commitment. And such a promise is actually a **** on the hands and feet of the Army in the Lake. Once the **** is put on, if you want to untie it, you have to consider the majesty of the king and pay a sufficient price...

"Cough! Praise the Lord God! The Guajili Legion is loyal to His Royal Highness, fighting for the supreme king! The legion conquers the rebels of Totonak, and the ultimate goal is naturally to be in the camp of Tree Snake City, His Highness of Wisdom Let's decide!"

At this critical moment, the artillery battalion commander Tupa gritted his teeth, stepped forward decisively, and interrupted. He took a deep look at the commander of the black wolf, and shook his head imperceptibly.

Hei Lang was startled for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses. The expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally settled into reflective shame. He has an arrogant personality, and he has been the head coach of the Black Wolf Army for too long, and he has always said what he says. In his subconscious mind, he already thought that the Black Wolf Army was his own army, and he wanted to make a promise for His Highness.

Tupa had a respectful smile on his young face. He humbly bowed his head and asked the king's envoy in a deep voice.

"The commander-in-chief witnessed! Dear Envoy Yao Lin, may I ask you to meet His Highness when you come to the east? How did His Highness give instructions?"

"Uh... When I came here~lightnovelpub.net~ I did meet His Royal Highness Xiulot."

Hearing this, Yao Lin pursed his lips and frowned deeply. Seeing that the leader of the Black Wolf Army was about to fall into the noose, he gave himself a clear answer, but a new trouble broke out halfway.

Regarding His Highness's instruction, it is impossible to respond with false words. Yao Lin was silent for a while, but still answered truthfully.

"His Royal Highness Shulot entertained me warmly for several days before telling me. 'The general is away, and the military orders are not accepted. You have to make a specific judgment based on the changing situation. Just like going hunting, no one can guarantee in advance. What kind of prey will he catch'...And he believes that the leader of the Black Wolf Army, the conquest of the land of Totonac, will be decided by the general of the Black Wolf!"

Hearing His Highness's trusting words, Hei Lang lowered his eyes, feeling agitated in his heart. He closed his eyes, sorted out some messy thoughts, thought about Yao Lin's words before and after, and looked for the most critical pulse. After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the eyes of the messenger Yao Lin with sharp eyes like a wolf.

"Messenger Yao Lin, I have a question, and I want to ask you sincerely. Since you represent the supreme king and came to deal with the affairs of the land of Totonac, you have sent me these inquiries. The instructions given by the king, and What exactly is it?"

Hearing this question, the king's envoy, Yao Lin, a nobleman of the royal family, suddenly changed his expression.
