Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 339 Wild Arsenal: A cloud-piercing arrow, revenge never takes overnight!

Northern Yucatan Island.

The bright moonlight illuminated Tenochtitlan, the Aztec royal city that had suffered from both war and plague.

The largest city on the island with a population of 25, known as the Golden City, now looks much more desolate than before, with collapsed temples, dilapidated buildings, and burnt statues everywhere.

In the cracks between many broken stone slabs on the ground, there were still traces of black and red blood that could not be washed away even by the rainy season storms.

They all witnessed the tragedy of that catastrophic disaster.

The plague and the looting of colonists from various powers failed to kill all the indigenous people of this royal city, Texcoco on the east coast, and Tlacopan on the west coast.

However, the death rate of up to 70% in these three core allied cities easily destroyed all the political systems and production orders here.

Even today, half a year later, it still looks desolate and dilapidated.

Only the core areas surrounding the royal palace and the Great Pyramid were barely restored and gradually regained some vitality.

The garrison force consisting of a group of [Tiger Warriors] was also reorganized.

However, what they held in their hands were no longer the flashy golden guns of the ceremonial guard, but the export version of flintlock rifles and fine steel swords produced by the Torrent Fortress Arsenal.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, a figure walked in the moonlight to the door of the bedroom. The officers and guards in charge of the protection saw the person clearly with the help of the light, and they all stood at attention and saluted with reverence in their eyes.

The visitor was a sturdy and heroic young man, about twenty years old, with long legs, a thin waist, broad shoulders and a resolute face.

However, the pockmarks on his face slightly undermined his heroic appearance.

However, this did not prevent the survivors in the city, especially the hero-worshipping soldiers, from respecting him from the bottom of their hearts.

Because this is none other than the meritorious new emperor of the Azik Empire, the [Avenger] Quitlahuac.

Apart from a golden crown on his head, the emperor did not wear any of the traditional indigenous turquoise or gold nose or ear ornaments. Instead, he wore appropriate foreign clothing.

The white shirt, paired with the slim-fitting military trousers and black combat boots of the Kingdom of Castile, is more in line with the aesthetics of the colonists than the natives.

However, in the Azik Empire, which has a tradition of skinning, there is nothing wrong with wearing the enemy's clothing.

On the contrary, they believed that wearing the enemy's skin and clothing could gain the enemy's strength. Especially when defeating a strong enemy, this kind of attire from the enemy could gain more respect from the warriors.

The leading guard officer stepped forward and saluted respectfully again:
“Your Majesty, the two imperial concubines are admiring the moon in the garden.

The grape trellis you specifically requested has already been set up, and even the grape vines have grown to the thickness of a child's wrist under the shaman's witchcraft.

There are two swings and a portrait of the former Havana Governor Velasquez that has been carved and placed opposite the grape arbor.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Quitlahuac nodded to him with dignity in his eyes:

“I see, good job.

The guards are tight, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace, and no one is allowed to come in if they hear any noise."

Just by being praised a little, the officer on duty became spirited and said excitedly:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As they watched their emperor disappear into the palace, the guards' eyes showed no less respect.

Some even murmured:
"Your Majesty is truly the Lord of Destiny for us Azik people!"

Obviously, although the new emperor had only been crowned for half a year, his prestige in the city-state was already very high.

When the empire was facing a devastating disaster, at the critical moment, Montezuma II's nephew Cuitlahuac, who had barely survived, hastily ascended the throne and was crowned.

Apart from the fact that the previous emperor and Queen Beatrice had no children, he was already the closest blood relative in the royal family.

The most important reason was that he had immunity after having smallpox.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, he was already the most stable candidate for succession at the time, without a doubt.

At the beginning, the old people did not have too high expectations for this young man who had never experienced any hardships.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor's subsequent performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

First, he used the [Book of Beast Families] to start the blood sublimation ceremony, and quickly promoted from the original second-level [Tiger Warrior] to the third level, and also awakened the powerful "Flow".

Even among all the third-level [Tiger Warriors] in the city-state, he is hard to rival.

After that, he forcefully subdued all the survivors of the three core city-states, integrated the armed forces and civilians, and retreated to the most easily defended and difficult to attack Royal City of Azik.

The city's population has returned to a level of 100,000, all of whom are young and middle-aged people, and the population ratio is very healthy.

The city-state also began to gradually recover.

At the same time, the tradition of skinning and blood sacrifice that had been followed for hundreds of years was completely abolished, and the statue of the "Father of Medicine" was welcomed into the original skinning temple to reintegrate the precarious beliefs after the complete destruction of the pantheon.

Use the power of faith to unite people of different backgrounds into one.

Externally, it made friends with Torrent Fortress and Vanguard Colonial Trading Company, and was the first to invite their branches to settle in.

By reforming agricultural production through agricultural technology and fertilizers, we have achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest.

With the support of the enemy's arms and the training manuals of the outstanding Kingdom Army officers, they quickly formed a hot weapons garrison corps that was at the top level in all of Bantaan.

There is also a pirate group called the Azik Tigers that serves as the Imperial Navy.

Especially in early April, taking advantage of the Treasure Island incident, he personally led a team to loot the Royal Port of Havana in Castile.

He even snatched away two beautiful women with skin as white as milk from the Governor's Mansion. They were much better than most of the survivors who had pockmarked faces.

In this war of revenge, the new emperor won a resounding victory and reunited some of the Aztec city-states that had been severely harmed by Castile.

It stabilized the power of Tenochtitlan and allowed the depressed tribesmen to see the future and hope again.

But their Emperor never takes credit for himself.

He always tells others that he was inspired by the "Father of Medicine" to achieve his insignificant little achievements.

And just as he said, the light of the [Golden Law] actually covered the entire royal city with the temple as the origin, and extended to other city-states, resisting the endless weirdness and evil spirits.

It allowed them to safely pass through the vacuum period when all the guardian gods were wiped out.

Gradually, under his leadership, the Azik people's belief in the "Father of Medicine" was no weaker than that of the city of Uxmal.

Although it is still a city-state system on the surface, it is increasingly becoming a whole with a common belief.

Countless people regarded the new emperor as a hero of the Azik people.

Unfortunately, no one knew that although the emperor was still in the body of Quitlahuac on the surface, a different soul had already taken over inside.

It was the culprit who destroyed the glorious past of the empire—[Conqueror] Cortes!
"Emperor, what beautiful words.

That’s the beauty of power, and it’s what I’ve been pursuing my whole life.

Although the real Cortes is dead, my dream has come true in another way.

As long as my performance satisfies the master, I will be second to none and my precious position as [Wild Hunt Servant] will not be replaced casually.

Much safer than Alvin and Feilong who are only at level two.

And I have a younger, more energetic inhuman body, which feels really good." As if he could hear the guards' thoughts behind him, Cortes, who had already walked to the garden gate, clenched his fists lightly, as if he had grasped the supreme authority bestowed on him by his master.

This kind of beauty deeply fascinated this power-hungry guy.

As early as the night of the new emperor's coronation, he, the number two [Weird Wild Hunt Servant], quietly possessed the body of Quitlahuac and replaced the new emperor.

In mysticism, there is Byron's inheritance in the [Golden Code], and in reality there is the body of Quitlahuac. The combination of the two is the true Emperor Azik.

Cortes was a third-rank knight during his lifetime, and he would always be a third-rank knight after his death. Unless he transformed his own race like the lich Edward, he would never be able to go any further.

However, with the help of the indigenous emperor's body, there is no problem in restoring his third-level strength.

The combination of fame, power, and influence, coupled with the conqueror's own outstanding abilities, makes him Byron's number one trusted general besides his pair of wings!
Cortes stood at the entrance of the garden, looking at a pair of beautiful sisters chatting and admiring the moon on the swing in the garden, and his smile became even more cheerful:

"The city-state is in ruins and the feeling of life and death is hard to extricate oneself.

After being busy for so long, I finally waited for the day to enjoy the fruits of victory. Here I come, my beauties! "

One of them is his ex-wife, Selena, who is as pitiful as a little white flower, and the other is his wife's sister, who is also the wife of Velasquez, Therese, who has a strong aura.

All the maids had left, and only the two sisters were whispering to each other.

Looking at the newly added grape trellis, swing, and portrait of Velasquez in the garden, the cheeks of the two ladies who had accepted the title of indigenous princesses turned slightly red.

It seemed as if he had foreseen everything that was about to happen, but he didn't resist it much.

It’s just a little strange, why are the interests of this indigenous emperor so similar to those of my late husband (brother-in-law)?
Neither of the two sisters knew that, like dodder, relying on the strong for survival, what they were facing was just another cycle.

"The royal family is dwindling. From today on, I will set an example and work day and night to create a great Azik royal family."

[Conqueror] Cortes was about to walk towards the two beauties.

Prepare to create a large group of hybrids to contribute to the great cause of the fusion of the two ethnic groups' collective subconscious ocean.

As if he heard something, his face suddenly changed:
"Tayapan? How brave!"

No longer able to care about the noble cause of creating children.

Scarlet tiger stripes appeared on his cheeks, and a whistling fishy wind suddenly broke out around him, carrying his strong body and making him leap dozens of meters like a tiger, rushing out of his bedroom.

At the same time, he conveyed orders through the golden seal ring in his hand, and the city-state's rotating garrison and tiger pirate group quickly assembled.

Tap tap tap.
The palace under the night sky instantly turned into a hedgehog on the verge of a fight.

Cortes's greatest strength was obviously the fleet's deployment of troops, coupled with the invincible Marines' style of play.

It will take no more than twenty minutes.

A team of several thousand people held high the banner of "Father of Medicine" and collectively disappeared in the whirlpool that suddenly appeared in Lake Texcoco outside the city.

at the same time.

The city of Chichen Itza.

The scene that took place in the Temple of the God Tayapan was played out through the Golden Law that had already been extended there.

Bang!
The new king, Geronimo, smashed the stone table beside him with one palm and said angrily:
"This bastard [King of the Curly Nose] Teohuacan is courting death!"

The great shaman Yiekotel beside him, with his hair and beard all white, was also furious:
"Repaying kindness with hatred! What's the difference between these ungrateful wolves and those treacherous and cunning Remit people from the Old World?"

They were among the few who knew that Byron was the "Father of Medicine."

Moreover, it was Iekotel who personally gave the Crystal Skull No. 8, which was kept in his own care, to Byron, and determined that he was the prophesied son who would revitalize the empire.

"Gather the troops! The Fallen One is not qualified to be the emperor, and is no longer worthy of being a Taya. On behalf of the thirteen main gods, I will cancel his Taya citizenship."

The city of Uxmal.

See the information that intelligence personnel "accidentally" obtained.

Byron's cheap disciple, King Mictek, and his aunt, the female shaman Xihuatl, were as angry as those at Chichen Itza.

“The teacher is a kind person and cannot stand these sinister villains.

Let us, the [Bear Spirit Warriors] of Uxmal City, clean up the teacher's house.

Isn't Tayapan known as the orthodox? It's just right to use this city-state as the fiefdom of the teacher, the son of prophecy.

We will witness the teacher being crowned king here!"

Some friendly small city-states nearby that "accidentally" received the news also took action.

With the support of "Father of Medical Care" and Pioneer Colonial Trading Company, everyone is living a happy life.

[King with Curled Nose] You only know that there are five crystal skulls in Riptide Fortress, but do you know how much turnover we have with Riptide Fortress every month?

Want to cut off everyone's source of income?

This is the irreconcilable hatred for killing one’s father!
It is unrealistic to follow Byron to conquer the world, but in this time of crisis, it is a pleasure to adjust the target of the war of honor.

"Where are you going?"

"No one will be killed in this year's Rongguan War. If anyone is to be killed, only Tayapan will be killed!"

"Let's go together!"

When they were halfway there, each force had unexpected and surprising gains.

"Hey, why are there wild 'deck cleaning machines' here, there are also wild field guns over there, and there seem to be a few wild artillerymen over there.

It's strange, how come there are so many good things in this jungle? It's like a wild arsenal.

Thank nature for its gifts.

Take it, take it all!"

"Look, there is a wild fleet ahead, and they are flying the banner of the Father of Medical Care. Let's get on board quickly."

"Take the things and kill, kill, kill!"

Byron's good reputation is well-known throughout Bantaan. Under the influence of the term [Halo of a Great Good Man], everything he does is right.

Anyone who goes against him is definitely wrong.

He does not need to do it himself, as the forces united around him by power, gratitude, interests, and ideals will connect with each other on their own.

Determined to work together to raise Tayapan!

The most vivid description is probably:
"Timely Rain is Song Gongming, what does it have to do with me, Black Whirlwind?

If you dare to disrespect me, you will be beaten by me first!"

"Your king is a dragon vein, and my master is also a dragon vein. But he can be the king, so why can't my master be the king?
Let's go to Tayapan together to seize the throne, and let my husband be the ruler of the country for once."

By then, when a group of people clean up Tayapan and invite Byron, the "great good man", to be the emperor, he will still pretend to refuse repeatedly.
