The latest website: The setting sun falls on the West Sea, like a bright red fireball, gradually melting in the water. And those melting flames, half of them turned into reddish blood in the sea, and half of them turned into floating fire boats. In the end, these bright fires and dim blood were all reflected in the eyes of the warriors and sailors, melting into the most vivid death and the most distant kingdom of God!

"The setting sun on the sea, the battlefield of blood and fire... the sun feather snake! This victory is only short-lived, and only death and the kingdom of God are destined to be eternal..."

Pup, the Feathered Serpent Priest, was wearing a feather crown and sacrificial robe, standing on the bow of the longboat, looking at the battlefield and the setting sun on the sea. Under the watchful eyes of all the warriors and sailors, he raised the magic staff in his hand and shouted the declaration of victory.

"The sun **** rose from the seashore and fell from the seashore! Feathered serpent took away the death of the enemy and brought us bright hope! Praise the gods! We defeated the cruel Mexica and the despicable Betrayer! . . . "

"Blessed are the sun and the Feathered Serpent! Praise the gods! God bless victory!..."

Following the announcement of the priests, boiling cheers sounded from the huge Eastern Fleet, shaking the entire seashore and eclipsing the Kingdom Legion on the shore!

After this sudden battle on the water, the kingdom's fleet was forced to retreat to the shore, and the Eastern Alliance occupied the burning battlefield. They can calmly salvage, rescue floating wounded soldiers of their own side, capture enemy prisoners who fell into the water, and count the number of casualties.

Judging from the losses in this battle, the Royal Navy suffered 600 to 700 casualties, 70 to 80 warships, and nearly one-third of the casualties! However, the Eastern Fleet led by Feathered Serpent Priest Papu lost only three or four hundred people. The fleet was burned and a number of warships were burned, and a group of small ships of the kingdom were captured. The real loss was three burned Mayan galleys.

Judging from the casualties of both sides alone, this sneak attack and decisive battle carefully planned by Priest Papu is undoubtedly an epic victory! And for the Eastern Totonac League, which has been defeated repeatedly, this rare victory is even more inspiring!

"The Sun and the Feathered Serpent! This is a rare victory! But that's all... I have planned for so long, tried every means, gathered so many large ships, and carefully selected this battlefield... What I want is not just to defeat The Mexica navy wants to completely defeat the opponent and completely cut off the Mexica's water transportation!...Because only in this way can the situation of the war be changed..."

Feathered snake priest Papp pursed his lips, his face was a confident smile after victory, but his heart was as heavy as a distant mountain.

The Mexica responded so quickly and the support was so strong. The treacherous coastal tribes are so desperate to fight for some coastal alliance. All of this was completely beyond his expectations. The decisive battle of the sneak attack only won a tactical victory, but it could not change the strategic situation of the two sides...

"The rockets of the Mexica ignited the monster flames of the big ship...Three of the ten big ships that I managed to get together burned down in the first battle...The enemy has the ability to set fire to ships, and how long can the Eastern Alliance's maritime superiority be maintained? What about it? And once the waterway cannot be controlled and the enemy's supplies are cut off, who can resist the Mexica Legion on land?"

Feathered Serpent Priest Papp lowered his eyes, maintaining a triumphant smile, but he felt the despair in his heart.

Among the ten large ships, there are a total of eight Mayan galleys and two kingdom longships. One of the Mayan ships, two longships, came from his raids on Mayan caravans and kingdom explorers. The other four Mayan galleys came from the forced recruitment of Mayan caravans by the Holy City of the Hidden Snake.

Only the last three Mayan ships were built with great difficulty by the shipwrights of the Eastern Alliance in the past six months! The technology that can build these large ships comes from the Mayan shipwrights captured during the raid on the kingdom's exploration fleet, as well as the shipwrights of various merchant teams recruited. Therefore, these ten large ships are the most important dominant force in the seaside navy under his control, and they are also the confidence to suppress the Mexica navy!

"The Mexica have already begun to besiege the city of Jihu...the chief priest of the holy city, the venerable Atkoyotelsin (), has issued a decree to stick to it to the end, and sent the priest and elder Tezuzomok to supervise the battle in the city! ...But no one is sure, defend Jihu City. Once Jihu City can't hold it, then it will be the turn of the last hidden snake holy city!..."

Thinking of the enemies coming like a tide, Feathered Serpent Priest Papp was worried, anxious and helpless. This decisive battle at sea was a decree personally issued by the chief priest Atkoyotersin after summoning him, and it was also a waterway raid with high hopes.

In Totonaknahua, "Atl" means "sea and water," "coyotl" means "land and territory," and "tzin" means It is the "honorable one". The Chief Priest, Atkoyotelsin, is "the noblest of the lands by the sea", the chief priest who is closest to the gods. In other words, he is the entire Eastern Totonac Alliance, the actual spiritual leader, and the religious leader who resisted the Mexica invasion!

Among all the nobles in the eastern tribes, Atkoyotelsin, the chief priest of the seashore, as "the most noble person in the seaside land", has the most determined will to resist. He not only summoned the noble chiefs, formed a coalition of the eastern tribes, and personally launched the divine war against the Mexica, but also generously took out wealth and fetishes from the temple, and rewarded the noble chiefs and warrior!

Feathered snake priest Papp fled all the way, resisted all the way, fled from Feathered Serpent Ancient City to Hidden Snake Holy City, and then regained his footing. Afterwards, he personally led the fire in Coyote City, slowing down the march of the Black Wolf Legion, and for the first time fell into the eyes of the High Priest of the Seaside. Half a year ago, he led seven or eight hundred warriors to raid the kingdom's exploration fleet with only four ships left, and successfully captured two long ships, making a rare feat!

And when he returned to the Holy City of the Hidden Snake and reported to the elders of the priesthood about the collusion between the Mayan caravan and the kingdom fleet, the chief priest of the seaside praised him in public and established him as the "blessed priest" against the Mexica invasion. "!" Immediately afterwards, the chief priest of the seaside personally gave him a decree, asking him to thoroughly investigate the "collusion" between the Mayan business group and the Mexica, and expand the scale of the liquidation: confiscate all Mayan caravan property, forcibly confiscate all ships and sailors!

"All the Mayan merchant fleets have been confiscated by me, and the ships and sailors have been confiscated. Behind these caravans, there are both the Mayan states and the elders in the Holy City of the Hidden Snake... I have offended people hundreds of miles to the east. The Mayan city-states cut off the wealth of the elders, and killed so many Mexica people... No matter if it is the east, west or seaside holy city, there is no way for me to retreat!..."

Feathered Serpent Priest Papp lowered his eyes, his face was full of bitterness. The chief priest of the seaside valued him, promoted him, appointed him, a fugitive feathered serpent priest, as the head of the holy city's navy... didn't he just think that he had no way out, was determined, and could fight the Mexica to the end?

As the former priest and elder in Feathered Snake City, he knew the thoughts of the chief priest of the seashore. In the entire Totonac seashore, the most honorable chief priest is the spokesperson of the gods, the most honorable person who is least likely to surrender, and will never escape to Maya!

If the warriors and minor nobles surrendered to the Mexica, they might still save their lives, and even regain their tribe and power in some seaside alliance. The great aristocrats could carry their belongings, warriors, and servants and flee to the central Maya tribes in the east, and even go to the lowland Maya in the north, or the mountain Maya in the south, at least they can have a prosperous life...

And only the chief priest of the sea, who symbolizes theocracy, can neither surrender to the enemy nor flee to a foreign country! For Chief Priest Atkoyotelsin, his noble source of power is the holy land of faith, the pious Totonak tribesmen, and the fertile seaside soil under his feet! Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave Totonac. Even if the Holy City of the Hidden Snake falls, he will flee to the depths of the inland jungle, seek the support of the Zapotecs, and continue to resist to the end! …

"O Sun and Feathered Serpent! There is no retreat for the revered High Priest of the Seashore! He swung my obsidian dagger~lightnovelpub.net~ at the solid armor of the Mexica. He does not care about my damage and thinks I There is no way out!..."

The sun fell into the sea, and the night slowly shrouded. The Dongfang navy of more than 2,000 people began to return, and the water village they stationed was just tens of miles away to the east, in a bay under the Great God of Fireworks Mountain. There are more tribal fighters there, who just came from the hidden snake holy city to support them, and they will shed their last blood for the gods and descendants of the gods!

"The chief priest sent down the decree! For the gods, to resist the Mexica demons, shed the last blood!..."

Priest Papu stood on the long boat heading east, silently looking at the dark sky, which was the shadow of the Great God Mountain of Fire and Fire, and also the direction of the Holy City of Hidden Snake. At this moment, the smile on his face was as cold as frozen, while the waves in his heart surged like a tide.

"But...do I really have no way out?...That person's words, in order to escape the promise of death...Damn it! The gods bless you! Please guide me in the long dark night! Or maybe...the Lord God's blessing?..."
