The sea and sky are broad and calm, and the bright sunshine of September spreads over the Caribbean Sea after the storm. The sea is shining with sparkling waves, like the long golden feathers on a feathered snake, and like a magnificent mirror under the feet of a god.

After the rain, the weather cleared, and the seven kingdom longships, loaded with three or four hundred soldiers, set off together. The entire fleet maintained a steady speed, along the emerald green coast of Cuba, all the way to the east. The red earth part in the east is about two hundred miles away from the Mayali part. To maintain the physical strength of the sailors to be able to fight against the enemy at any time, they only rowed sixty or seventy miles a day. After doing this for three days, when the morning sun illuminated the sky, the magnificent red hills along the coast and the earth came into everyone's eyes.

The big red-soil tribe of the Taino people is just a dozen miles ahead, but the priest of Tomat is not in a hurry to get there. He stopped the fleet nearby, and the crew recovered their strength. At the same time, let two hunters from the Mayali tribe land on land, and take the messenger who had asked for help before to get in touch with the Red Earth tribe. And a dexterous canoe was lowered from the long boat, carrying three or four kingdom sailors who were good at paddling, to investigate the situation on the coast ahead.

Half a day later, after everyone had a simple lunch, the investigations of the two parties returned one after another. The sailors of the kingdom found out the situation on the seashore. The Siguayu people had hundreds of canoes, and they were dividing into teams of dozens of people to plunder the villages and tribes along the coast!

"Witness of the Lord God! The Siguayu are like a bunch of... a bunch of poor and crazy wild men! ... They wield stone spears and hunt bows, rob fish and turtles raised in weir ponds, and rob dogs and hardwoods in corrals. Rats, robbing dried fish and tools from fishing huts, drying tobacco leaves from tobacco huts, and even digging cassava from cassava fields to take away..."

The scout sailor replied like this, without any worry before the battle on his face, but with the curiosity of watching the excitement.

"Most of the two or three thousand tribesmen in the Hongtu tribe gathered together and huddled in their main village, relying on a circle of wooden fences for defense. The Siguayu people sent forty or fifty people to watch the main village, but they didn't do anything Attack. Their large troops are all looting in small villages, taking away all the property that can be taken away, and arresting young men and women who have fled around..."

"There are no traces of battle on the coast, and there are not many dead bodies. I saw from a distance that they had hundreds of coolies carrying supplies. Judging from the different white tattoos on their bodies, they should be captured Taino, but I don’t know which tribes captured it from…”

Hearing such a description, Priest Tomat and the old militiaman Chihuaco glanced at each other with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Bless the Lord God! It seems that the Red Earth Department is not in danger. There are hundreds of them gathered together, and they are not easy to be eaten by the enemy. However, the Siguayu people did not massacre, but only looted food and property, arrested captive..."

"Well, it seems that the Taino people are used as a fish pond for breeding... It's my own fish pond, I have to keep the fish, and I can't catch them all! I reckon that the Siguayu people are real They plan to settle down. Their lair must be two or three hundred miles away..."

The two discussed for a while, and the scouts from Mayali also returned from the land. They reported a few words to Chief Splash, and Chief Splash said to Priest Tomat with a worried expression on his face.

"Dear Priest Tomat! The Red Earth Department is surrounded by vicious Siguayu people! There are hundreds of Siguayu people, dozens of them can't be counted on the palm of your hand... Dozens of them have been arrested Young men and women. According to the situation of the last raid, the Siguayu people would grab it until evening, and then leave to the northeast sea..."

Speaking of this, Chief Splash paused, "Putong" knelt down on the deck, and begged to the leaders of the two longship tribes.

"Biba, the red stone chief of the Red Earth Department, wants to make an appointment with the fleet. When the Siguayu people start to evacuate in the evening, they will attack them from the sea and land together! Although the Siguayu people are fierce, they are full of ships. When the belongings are about to leave, the will to fight is not high. We don’t want to completely defeat them, as long as we can repel them and try to rescue dozens of captured village men and women, that’s all!....”

Seeing Chief Splash's sincere plea and listening to the detailed plan in his mouth, Priest Tomate raised his eyebrows and laughed dumbfounded. After listening patiently, he took a step forward, kindly lifted Chief Splash, and answered with a confident smile.

"Chief Splash, don't worry! Since we are here

, you will definitely defeat the Siguayu people and rescue the captured tribal people! Because, the Lord God protects us, He is supreme, and you will witness His mighty power..."

"As for the battle plan...it's actually very simple. The Siguayu are looting, and most of the fighters are on land. While their forces are scattered, we just need to concentrate on pressing forward and rush forward!. ..」

Priest Tomat smiled slightly, clenched his fist with his left hand, and thrust forward, gently touching Chief Splash's heart. Then, he turned his head, his gentle eyes sharpened suddenly, as if he had changed into a different person. The undisguised killing intent, accompanied by his low-pitched words, hit Chief Splash's heart word by word.

"Vice-Captain Puap, let all the warriors put on their armor! The archers set up their bows, the spearmen set up their spears, and the oarsmen get ready! ... In two quarters of an hour, we will launch the fleet and lay out the battle Formation, go straight to the Siguayu fleet on the shore!"

"In this battle, you don't need to care about capturing prisoners, let go of your hands and feet to kill! Go all out for me and win beautifully! I want to use the Siguayu people as sacrifices to the Lord God, so that the glory of the Lord God will be on the island of Cuba The east is illuminated!  …”

"Ho Ho! Praise the Lord God, this battle must be a great victory!"

Under the horrified gaze of Chief Splash, the gray soil warrior Puap put on a bronze cloth armor, raised a ninety-pound bow, and had two copper axes stuck in his waist. He grinned wide, with a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing across his face, showing an impatient smile. After a while, the militant Huitu Puap summoned the warriors on board and spoke loudly to everyone.

"Lord God bless! This is the first battle on Cuban Snake Island, give me some strength! You are all wearing leather armor and bronze armor, holding sharp weapons, but the opposite side doesn't even have a cotton armor, just a gang The savage... don't hold back your hands later, get close to me, and kill him fiercely!"

"Come this way, since you fell in love with a Taino woman, you have to act like a man now! After this battle is over, whoever has blood on his hands...I will punish him and go to accompany Captain Chivaco , fishing for half a month! Hey, that's much more interesting than playing around with young women in the village..."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, the kingdom warriors in the fleet laughed loudly, while the sailors pursed their lips, not daring to laugh out loud. The face of the old militiaman Chihuako turned black, and he glanced at the young Dark Snake and Didi in embarrassment, secretly feeling ruthless in his heart.

"Okay Puap! I just said a few words to you in front of the two children, and you will remember it now... Ha! After we leave, you will stay with Priest Tomat and stay well." In the Cuban village, have fun!"

After the kingdom's warriors laughed, the entire fleet suddenly stopped. Everyone is a veteran who is used to seeing blood, and there will not be too many emotional ups and downs when they really fight. On the contrary, Chief Splash holding a hunting bow, together with the Taino militiamen from the Mayari Department, were truly trembling, with nervous and excited faces.

"The Lord God blesses! Chief Splash, don't be nervous. Under the shadow of the Lord God, the warriors of the kingdom are blessed. This battle is promised by the Lord God, and we will surely win!"

Priest Tomat looked solemn, and said a few more words of comfort, and changed Chief Shuihua into a sturdy leather armor. He didn't want any accidents to happen to another important goal of this battle.

Huitu Puap commanded the fleet, and after a distance of more than ten miles, he could see the low-lying villages in the Hongtu Department and hundreds of messy boats along the coast. Hundreds of Siguayu warriors, bare-chested, with black tattoos, carrying stone spears and short bows, were bustling along the coast. They drove more than a hundred Taino captives, and many others did it themselves, carrying large and small baskets of supplies back and forth to the small boats.

Most of their black hair was dyed blue, because the dye of indigo was most common on the coast of Mesoamerica. A small number of people are dyed red, which is the powder made from mahogany seeds in the Caribbean islands. Only a very small number of respected warrior leaders can be dyed the rare and revered purple.

That is the murex purple extracted from a large number of murexes, the color is natural and bright, and the luster is traditional and bright. This expensive seaside dye is produced in the North African coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Islands. It once became the symbol of the royal family of the Byzantine Empire, that is, the "purple" of the "purple nobles".

"Huh

! These Siguayu people have different hair colors, there is a clear upper and lower hierarchy, and they are obviously more organized than the Taino...”

Huitu Puap narrowed his eyes, standing on the bow of the fast-moving boat, looking at the chaotic crowd by the sea, looking for the target to kill.

Following the sudden appearance of the kingdom's long ship, the Siguayu fighters on the outer boats were extremely surprised and were the first to shout. Soon, a leader with dyed purple hair changed his face drastically, pointing at the approaching longboat several miles away, and shouted sharply to the left and right. After only a few breaths, several senior red-haired fighters took out their warning murexes ~lightnovelpub.net~ and blew them one after another!

"Drip! Drip! Drip!..."

The warning conch sounded, and the expressions of the Siguayu soldiers on the shore changed suddenly. They dropped the food and goods in their hands, not caring about the Taino captives nearby, or the village watching from afar. They just carried their bows and spears and hurriedly jumped into the small boat, ready to face the long boat that suddenly appeared on the sea. The Siguayu have no allies in eastern Cuba, this must be the enemy!

"Enemy! Enemy! To the west, on the longship, the enemy is coming!"

But for a moment, the boat group of the Siguayu people changed rapidly like a school of frightened fish. And just when they reluctantly assumed the posture of fighting, the seven kingdom longships over 20 meters long accelerated to the maximum speed, like a menacing and vicious shark, suddenly came to bite!

The two sides approached quickly, and the "sharks" shouted shocking and neat slogans. It was a language that the Siguayu people had never heard, and it was also a battle slaughter that the Caribbean tribes had never seen.

"Praise the Lord God, fight for God!...Eighty steps!...Sixty steps! Fifty steps! Archers ready, shoot!"
