Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 143 Nine Stars in a Row, God of Tyranny

"Look, it seems to have started!"

When the blood sacrifice in the royal city reached its climax, the boundary was Lake Texcoco.

The cities of Texcoco on the east coast and Tlacopan on the west coast also held similar blood sacrifice ceremonies.

The Hettings expeditionary force, led by the Taya people, had already broken through the dangerous rainforest and arrived at the city of Tlacopan on the west coast three days ahead of schedule.

Major General Newman, the Zerg, Captain Geronimo of the Temple Guard, and the remaining six pirate generals all stood on a high ground outside the city, looking towards the city of Tlacopan where blood was rising into the sky.

The winding river of blood and the broken statues were exactly the same as what Byron had seen with his own eyes.

The only difference is that there is no trace of the [Golden Codex] and the Lord of Skinning here.

Seeing this unexpected and horrifying scene, even the three third-level transcendents who had long known that they were engaging in an abnormal blood sacrifice all couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Gamblers expect to gain as much as they pay.

Just now, except for the guardian god [Lord of Skinning], all other Azik gods were killed in the "God Killing Banquet"?

What on earth were those Azik people planning to do by doing something like this?!"

They don't have the convenience of Byron, the "master of time management".

Until now, the spies sent out have not brought back any valuable clues.

However, both the people of Hettings and the representative of the Taya people, Geronimo, knew with their heels that this would never be a good thing.

Once the blood sacrifice is over and the Azik people achieve their goal, the fate of both outsiders and natives of the anti-Azik alliance will probably not be good.

Especially when the same words echoed throughout the Azik Empire, including the trees, streams, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas:
"The kingship is granted by God! The emperor is the son of God. I will make you monarchs and kings in every part of the world!"

In their ears, these words that seemed to be spoken by "God" were more like a declaration of war against the whole world.

"Attack, attack quickly!
The Castilians, who are now bearing the brunt of the impact, must be more anxious than we are.

Neither the Royal City of Azik nor their overlord of the sea could care less about Tlacopan.

As long as we can interrupt the blood sacrifice ceremony here, we will be able to weaken their power!"

Major General Newman could no longer wait and immediately gave the order to attack.

And it's not just him.

Knowing that they will only pick on the weak, there are many smart people like them who have set their eyes on the fat piece of meat in Tlacopan.

"Attack! Attack!"

“Kill him!”

Shouts echoed in the lush jungle, and then many outsiders rushed out from all directions of the indigenous city.

There are kingdoms, pirates, privateers, colonial companies, speculators who take advantage of the situation, and other anti-Azik native city-state alliances.

Byron glanced over and found the flags on the left and right wings next to his own house. They were the Rhine Alliance and the very familiar Remit Golden Palm Trading Company.

It’s a pity that it’s impossible for outsiders to march through the rugged jungle with cannons weighing several tons.

Except for a few extraordinary people with the ability to fly, it is not easy to break through the tall rock walls in a short period of time.

Even if they broke into the city, they would still face a fierce street fighting, attacking the pyramids street by street.

However, Byron had already made other preparations and waved to the [craftsman] little Hans behind him.

"Pull the stuff up."

The latter immediately commanded the pirates of the Marine Corps to push up a large number of catapults that had been hastily made using local materials during this period.

Naturally, it is produced by the Orphan Alliance.

Then box after box of cluster bombs tied together with Molotov cocktails were placed at their feet.

It is particularly worth mentioning that most of the elite pirates of the original Hook Privateers have already joined Byron's army.

For the sake of merit, the position of captain of the 721 model and a share of the profits, they all worked extremely hard when deploying the catapults.

After a while.

"emission!"

Under the command of [artillery expert] Wyandotte, one "explosive fireball" after another streaked across the battlefield and slammed heavily onto the city walls of Tlacopan.

It easily created a sea of ​​fire, sweeping away all the nearby Azik guards.

The idea of ​​a catapult was not surprising, but Byron's improved Molotov cocktail made General Newman overjoyed:

"Bill, Byron, you did a great job. No matter what the harvest is, you will be credited as the first one! The rest of you, charge!" The ceremony in the royal city continued.

As the sacred and majestic voice echoed repeatedly, a stepped column of brilliant light shot up into the sky from each temple in the city.

The layout of the royal city is neat, with a "Death Avenue" in the center and an east-west street extending three kilometers to the south.

The intersecting streets divide the city into four parts, and the Flayed Temple is located in the center of the city.

The Moon Pyramid stands at the north end of the Avenue of Death, and temples are scattered on both sides of the street, including the Pyramid of the Sun, the Temple of the God of Rain, and the Temple of the God of War.
When pillars of light shot up into the sky from the temples throughout this thousand-year-old city, Byron made an astonishing discovery.

"This looks like the trajectory of a planet in the sky!"

If you look closely, the distances between the temples on the "Avenue of Death" seem to represent the orbits of the planets in the sky.

The third planet is 96 units away from the Sun, the second planet is 72, the first planet is 36, and the fourth planet is 144.

The bloody artificial river is 288 units away from the central axis of the pyramid, which is exactly the distance of the asteroid belt between the fourth and fifth planets.

The next temple is 520 units from the central axis, which is equivalent to the distance from the fifth planet to the sun.

Another 945 units away is another temple, which is the distance from the sun to the sixth planet.

After walking another 1845 "units", you will reach the center of the Moon Pyramid, which happens to be the orbital data of the seventh planet.

If we extend the "Avenue of Death" in a straight line, the last two temples will be outside the city.

The distances are 2880 and 3780 "units" respectively, which are exactly the orbital distances of the eighth and ninth planets!
When all the temple light pillars were lit, all the stars in the sky also lit up during the day, covering the entire royal city.

Moreover, from the perspective of the royal city, the nine main stars seemed to be connected in a line, creating an astronomical wonder of nine stars in a row.

“It’s amazing! The ancient city thousands of years ago was built according to this layout.

Today, the shaman accurately calculated the planetary conjunction that occurs once every 30 years.

Although the Taino people did not even enter the Bronze Age, their astronomy was ahead of the rest of the world, which is indeed a merit of their own.”

Byron was amazed.

The effect of this astronomical knowledge also became apparent in the field of occultism.

The Azik people combined their own worldview with that of the Old World to create a trinity of emperors and a new monarchy.

He will have: the status of a descendant of gods, the master of people (nobles, priests, common people, slaves), and the right to communicate with the dead.

They respectively symbolize: ruling the sky, the earth and the underground!

The previous emperor, Huitzilopochtli, has become one with the Lord of the Flayed.

The current emperor, Montezuma II, has been recognized by the sky and naturally became the only son of God and demigod.

Possessing undisputed control over the [Golden Code], or in other words, the royal legitimacy of the Taiman people!
A brilliant masterpiece called the [Golden Codex], connecting the [Lord of the Flayed], High Priestess Beatrice, and the Azc Emperor Montezuma II.

The new emperor's voice echoed throughout the city:

"The army is my scepter! I will give the nobles and priests the power to manage the city, the army, and the wilderness!"

"I am God's spokesperson, ruling the world and the underworld on God's behalf. I have the power to communicate with and comfort the dead, and grant them the afterlife!"

God's will represents the legitimacy of the monarchy; military strength is the cornerstone of the monarchy's rule; communicating with ancestors to rule over the dead makes the people obedient.

The three together form the foundation of the Azik kingdom.

However, Montezuma II, who held the greatest power, only stipulated the rights of the king, but did not have corresponding obligations or the rights of the common people.

At the present stage of civilization development, there does not seem to be a need for such a thing.

At this point, the [Lord of Skinning], who integrated all the gods, was also redefined by this overbearing royal power.

Forming a brand new god - the God of Tyranny!
The source tide above the city-state surged, calling His name everywhere:

"The God of Tyranny!"

Byron witnessed up close and personal this piece of history that would change the entire Bantaan Islands.

[Secret: The Mystery of the Blood Sacrifice of the Azik Empire, Historical Influence 27], the deciphering density has increased from 72% after the brainstorming with Violet to 95%.

It seems that there is still one last thing missing.

Just as Montezuma II was about to speak again.

Boom——! ! !
There was a loud bang that shook the earth, and the royal city on the island in the middle of the lake trembled violently.

A guard shouted:
"Oh no! The city has been breached!"
