The wind blows and the flags flutter. When Shulot led the army and brought heavy artillery to the coast of the Totonak people in the east, the Kingdom of the Lake, which is two thousand miles away, also has a new long journey, which is about to set sail!

On the shore of Lake Atoyak, Zicao Port is busy. Groups of immigrants from Water Valley City are being escorted by Prepecha warriors to the unfamiliar and vibrant southern counties. The samurai from the two counties of the brigade had already been waiting at the port for a long time.

These transferred prisoners of war immigrants will be raised in the camp outside Zicao City for a few days, and then sent to the Tuntian camp in the two counties. Everything is done with ease and in good order. Also in the team are the missionary priests of the Lord God, as well as the believers of Tlaxcala who settled in the fields last year, who are responsible for appeasing the hearts of the immigrants.

As the immigration team headed north and out of the port, a wide second-grade triadic soil road appeared in front of their eyes. This road has just been built, and it is one of the kingdom's major construction plans, connecting Zicao Port and the county seat. And on the Sanhe soil road, there are many militiamen with spears pushing wheelbarrows, transporting a large amount of kingdom supplies. Judging from the bamboo baskets exposed on the wheelbarrow, this batch of transport seems to be a large amount of dried biscuits and bacon, as well as piles of cloth and copper utensils, all of which are the property that the immigrants long for!

Farther away, in the distant Zicao County, in front of the tall pyramid temple, a large group of god-inspired priests were also busy. They checked carefully and prepared for the miraculous lift-off of the "Heart of the Gods" hot air balloon! And dozens of missionary priests are also waiting for the miracle to come to strengthen their faith and convert the newly arrived immigrants. Among the figures of these low-level priests, Tlaxcalans have appeared more than once.

The sun is shining brightly, and Pinghu is reflecting. The militiamen pushed their loaded wheelbarrows, sweating, into the back of the busy port. There, is the equally busy Southern Shipbuilding Division. A large group of boatmen are working hard in the shipbuilding department, and twelve sturdy longships are laid out one by one, undergoing the final inspection before delivery!

At this moment, two divinely inspired priests in sacrificial robes were looking solemnly at these sturdy longships on the ocean. On their sacrificial robes, they all wore the round emblems of the books of the "Wide Knowledge", and they were all second-level divinely inspired priests! The two watched the team of wheelbarrows arrive, and the militiamen unloaded large piles of food and property, and their eyes gradually changed.

"Lord God! So many dry biscuits? So much bacon?..."

The second-level priest Zuvalo stared wide-eyed, thinking silently in his heart, and gradually felt pressure.

"Mickey, the wise man, tell me, how many people are we going to take to sea?"

"Zouaro, I told you once!"

The knowledgeable Mickey frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"Twelve galleys for exploration, each with seventy people. Thirty commercial catamaran warships, each with twelve people. Together, how much is it?"

"Lord God! It's... 1,200 people! So many people, are they really handed over to two of us?!"

"Let's put it this way! We are the principal and deputy exploration captains. In the entire fleet, warriors, militiamen, and sailors each account for one-third, and each longship must have a priest. Therefore, there will also be a warrior leader and two A militia leader, more than 20 preachers and god-inspired priests went to sea with us! According to His Majesty's will, the fleet has to carry dry food for two months. According to the highest standard of three catties a day for one person, how many tons is that? Supplies?"

"Lord God! It's... 216 thousand catties, that's 108 tons of dry food?!"

At this point, the second-level priest Zuvalo took a breath. His forehead is already sweating. Such a huge fleet and material preparations have almost reached the limit of the kingdom's voyage, which has never been seen before...

"The knowledgeable Mickey, we don't need to bring so many supplies, do we? I have traveled the northern trade route once. There are many friendly tribes along the way, and you can use the kingdom's gems and cloth to exchange food and water with them. ..”

"Trade is definitely needed, but our fleet is so huge, how much can we replenish with those small tribes? His Majesty issued an order to explore, and gave us 2 tons of gemstones in the lake, 10 tons of cloth, and 10 tons of copperware , are used for trade along the way. At the same time, there are two longships in the fleet with spare longbows, arrows, bronze soldiers, bronze armor... Even, we also have the priority to replenish the fleet every time we return from exploration , crew and supplies!"

The knowledgeable Mickey repeated His Majesty's order with a blank expression on his face. He admired Priest Zuvalo's stunned expression, the corners of his mouth curled up. Of course, when he heard His Majesty's order for the first time, he was equally astonished, not much better.

"The Lord God bears witness! Look at the bows of those long boats again!"

The second-level priest Zuvalo heard the words and looked over, his eyes froze. On the prows of the twelve longships, there was a small bronze tiger squatting cannon, shining brightly in the sun.

"Lord God! Do we still have twelve small copper beasts?"

"Zuvaro, there are twelve tiger squatting guns, and there are six thousand catties of gunpowder and one ton of lead stone projectiles! These reserves are enough for each tiger squatting gun to fire hundreds of thousands of times..."

Speaking of this, the knowledgeable Mickey finally sighed. At this moment, the pressure in his heart was as heavy as a mountain, so he couldn't help but whispered.

"In order to prepare the supplies for us to go to sea, Talaya, the director of Shenqi, ordered gunpowder and precious stones, Yin Ezpan of Apa County dispatched warriors and militiamen, Yin Etalic of Zicao County prepared cloth and bronze wares, and the two counties The warehouses have withdrawn a large amount of stored grain..."

"Pukuta, the director of the Shipbuilding Department, even came from the northern Hekou County in person, and asked me face to face: This voyage is absolutely extraordinary! His Majesty even rejected the army sent by Yin of Ezpan County to plunder Bei Tekos." The people's plan is to provide stable diplomatic relations for our voyage. So that we can sail smoothly, the coast occupied by the North Terkos..."

"Witness of the Lord God! Your majesty's royal order was officially issued, and the exploration plan of the sea was also handed over to us. From now on, this long plan will continue! No matter how much supplies are spent, no matter how many warriors are recruited, no matter how many longships are lost , no matter how many years it takes... our nautical exploration will not stop until we successfully arrive!"

"Ah! Lord God!"

Hearing such an exploration order, the second-level priest Zuvaro was shocked to the point of numbness. He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a while before asking with some difficulty.

"However, we just submitted a plan to go south to investigate the Ministec and Zapotec tribes and explore the Mayan coast..."

"Zouvaro, His Majesty also approved that plan. It was just handed over to Trapanic businessman Trali who went to sea with you~lightnovelpub.net~ and another student who graduated from Shenwei University. Nellie, the first-level divine priest! Although the kingdom has ceased fighting with the Mystec and Zapotec tribes, they are still in an actual hostile relationship. The scouting fleet has only forty canoes, disguised as special Caravans of the Rapaniks, and then secretly collected information about the city-states of the peoples of the coastal clouds..."

"Mickey, what is our purpose? What is our purpose? With such a huge fleet, we will not go to the archipelago of the northern continent to dig the guano stones for fertile fields, right?"

"Witness of the Lord God! Digging the guano stones is indeed one of the additional tasks of the fleet. However, this task is mainly given to 30 commercial catamarans. They will be the first to return after digging the guano stones. And ours The destination is much farther away..."

Mickey the Knowledgeable has a solemn expression, piety and fanaticism on his face. Carefully, he took a long roll of H cowhide from the package on his back, and prayed to unfold it.

"The lord **** blesses you, your majesty is divinely enlightened, and the sacred mission is calling us! Look! Our destination is in this volume of sea charts specially inspired by the lord **** and drawn by your majesty himself. We will go along this divinely inspired route. Thirty thousand miles away to the West Sea, the big island that His Majesty prophesied!"
