Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1688 - 1203: Black Wolf’s Distant Gaze, From Maya to Cuba!

"Ah! Your Highness's divine prophecy has truly come to pass! Four years ago, Your Highness already knew it all! Ah, a divine being in the present world, incomparable to any earthly Divine King... Phew, witnessed by the Chief Divine! Is this the head of the white-skinned demons? Ugh! This chin full of big beard, this strange appearance with a high nose and deep-set eyes? So ugly! Even uglier than your Maya Divine Descendants!... Hmm, Yan Hu, right? How many heads and hands do these invading demons have?"

"Uh!... Respected Black Wolf General, the white-skinned demons I saw in Iron Bay Town on Cuba Island... seem to be just white-skinned tribes with unusual appearances and a lot of body hair. Their heads are not long, their eyes are not sharp, and they don't have any admirable divine features... all have one head and two hands!..."

"Hmm? Only one head and two hands?..."

The sea wind howled, blowing over the northern coast of the Maya in February, and over more than a dozen small oar-sail boats of the Maya city-states. Black Wolf Torc took only two days to lead thousands of legion warriors northward sixty miles, returning to the camp stationed in Tail Village.

Black Wolf immediately summoned Yan Hu, the noble from Yan Island who secretly converted and brought a merchant fleet, and inquired carefully about the battle situation on the Cuba Main Island. Then, he held the "demon head" pickled in lime and transported back from thousands of miles away, turning it over to examine it carefully. Finally, he stared at the obviously terrified face and shook his head gently.

"Strange, there seems to be nothing extraordinary! But Your Highness was so cautious, repeatedly reminding, even issuing a special divine prophecy, it's not just big wind from an empty hole, there must be a reason from Your Highness!... Perhaps, this is just an ordinary demon? And there's a truly powerful divine leader with four heads and eight arms, capable of spewing flames and poison fog?…"

"Uh? This... Yes! Black Wolf General, what you said is right!…"

Seeing Black Wolf's cold gaze, the young noble Yan Hu lowered his head, timidly agreeing. His posture was so low, even more humble than when facing his father and ancestors. This was not only because he needed Black Wolf General to dispatch troops with him to seize power back home... but mainly because he was truly afraid of such a battlefield killing god exuding a murderous aura!

During these days staying in Tail Village, he had already learned about the grand ceremony in Stone-Carved City in the South, where the entire divine descendants of the Tail Feather clan were schemed into being lured and driven into Stone-Carved City... Then the grand ceremony saw the warriors under his command wipe out the entire Tail Feather divine descendants, leaving not even a single bloodline alive!

"Chief Divine! The Tail Feather clan divine descendants, tracing back to the Maya Golden Age, were completely eradicated just like that! Ordinary warriors and tribespeople dying don't matter, no matter how many die... but an entire divine descendants being exterminated, not leaving a seed, and even being devoured by the Maya warriors under their command... hiss! What white-skinned demons, this is the true volcano demon!"

At this moment, the young noble Yan Hu even felt a bit of regret. His conversion to the Chief Divine, inviting the Mexica to seize power in the Ekab Chiefdom, how many corpses and waves of blood would it stir, and how many Maya Divine Descendants would it kill?

"Chief Divine! Ancestors!... But now, I've already climbed onto the crocodile's head, heading towards the conservative turtle group of the clan, there's no turning back!... Only I, only I who converted to the Chief Divine, can lead the clan, survive the Epoch Apocalypse of the Eastern Expedition to the Highlands, and grow and prosper, returning to the Jiao People brothers!…"

"Hmm, let me think, wise Black Wolf... with large ships equipped with Thunder Fire Cannons, sailing rapidly, heading towards Iron Bay Town... this wave of demon vanguard is not many in number, but the maritime actions are too quick! Priest Tomate's coastal defense is logically sound. But such a vast Cuban coastline, with warriors scattered everywhere, can't defend against large groups of demons, let alone long-term battles!"

Black Wolf Torc stroked his chin, completely ignoring the anxious, distracted noble Yan Hu beside him. He had already finished reading a long letter from Priest Tomate, which was well-written, simple yet comprehensive, without any unfamiliar characters! It seems these years, his learning has greatly improved, already on par with the famously knowledgeable Priest Tomate in cultural literacy!...

Thinking of this, Black Wolf flashed a confident smile. Then, based on his years of warfare experience, he thoughtfully contemplated the battle reports from Cuba, quickly forming some strategies to deal with the demons.

"Witnessed by the Chief Divine! The demon fleet is like a swiftly running water jaguar, whose lair lies far away and must establish a supply stopover in the Eastern Sea…. And to hunt a jaguar, there are three methods! One is to organize a few equally swift coyotes that, upon spotting the jaguar's trace, relentlessly chase it until they bite it. But there's a prerequisite, the coyotes must be able to defeat the jaguar at sea!... However, the demon's large ships and cannons are said to be very formidable in deep sea…"

"Hmm, the second method is to dig a trap to lure it in. The pack of wolves ambush in advance, waiting for the jaguar to come, and then leap together to bite it to death... This method can only be used once, for if the jaguar escapes, having gained experience, it won't easily fall for it again!… Of course, an ambush on the coast, as long as confidentiality is maintained, can easily concentrate force exceeding the demons, achieving notable battle results…"

"As for the third method, it involves sneaking into the jaguar's resting spot, and while it sleeps on the shore, stealthily give it a fierce blow!... The key is to have sufficient intelligence support, pinpointing the enemy's location... afterwards, fire ships, gunpowder ships, gunpowder arrows, all can be used in one go, just burn!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Divine protection! Regardless of which method, intelligence is paramount! And the source of intelligence must rely on the various Taino tribes of the East Sea Islands, and must first be subdued and converted… Hmm, it is urgent to rally samurai to eliminate the Luchong Clan and the Ekab Chiefdom, completely securing the final Maya coast!"

After a moment's reflection, Black Wolf Torc had roughly made his calculations. He then looked at the respectful, service-standing noble Yan Hu, whose face was inexplicably pale, and kindly reassured him.

"Divine witness! Yan Hu, you've brought very important news, well done! Priest Tomate also said, you swore a blood oath to the divine and are willing to lead the army to the East Coast, making you a trustworthy ally. I will not conceal the kingdom's strategies in Maya from you!"

"At present, the kingdom possesses the banner of the Mayapan Royalty, allied with the Canul Lineage, Putun Clan, Brocade Snake Clan, Reed Sea Clan, and Qi Jin Tribe, having already established a foothold in the lowland peninsula… More importantly, the kingdom has twenty thousand samurai in Maya, each capable of taking on five, invincible in battle, sufficient to suppress any rebellious tribes! Therefore, you should set your mind at ease, trust the divine's guidance, trust the kingdom's army!…"

"Even the Reed Sea Clan and Qi Jin Tribe, have wisely sought refuge with the kingdom! Conversely, those elder turtles within the Ekab Chiefdom and Yixi Clan are blind, siding with the Xi Wu Clan! Damn it!…"

Upon hearing this, the young noble Yan Hu pursed his lips, silently shaking his head at the Ekab Chiefdom's choice. He had journeyed westward, already aware of recent changes in the lowland Maya situation. Sixteen... no, fifteen Maya clans had already split into three factions: the royalists supporting Mayapan, the anti-royal Xi Wu faction, and the neutral Kapul faction. Among these, the royalist faction that attracted the Highland army visibly possesses stronger military force and divine descent status!

However, his father Yan Hai who holds the clan power is not too muddled. He knows the facts about the merchant fleet going to Cuba yet has not recalled the fleet, pretending not to know, clearly intending to bet on both sides. But the young Yan Hu is more determined to make wiser choices on behalf of his father and the elders...

"Yan Hu, these demon heads, I'll keep a few just to show the wolf cubs of each camp, letting them recognize the future enemies. As for the remaining heads and Priest Tomate's letter, you need to take them westward swiftly, delivering them to the kingdom's naval forces in Salt Village two to three hundred miles away! They will divide into two routes, one passing to Marshal Betard in Kapok City and the other returning to the Serpent Mother's Great Chief in Golden Bay City... Finally quickly sent back to the Mexica Alliance, to the Lake Capital City of White Stone, to the southern expedition's alliance army!…"

"Upon reaching Salt Village, you will then transport a batch of food and supplies back, supplementing the legion's logistics!... The Tail Feather Clan has already been dealt with, and the kingdom has gained two thousand usable Maya warrior camps to guard the Stone Carved City and Tail Village Port. As for other Tail Feather Clan lands, they can temporarily be ignored, as long as some food tribute can be collected... At the end of the month, I'll continue the eastern expedition and quickly attack Luchong Clan's Motto City... Hmm, it shall take several months to completely eliminate the Luchong divine descendants and train another batch of usable Maya wolf pups!..."

Upon hearing this, the young noble Yan Hu lowered his head in reverence, his heart chilled again. Black Wolf General, no, Black Wolf Fire Mountain Demon, intends to exterminate a whole divine descendant clan of Maya? Terrifying, truly terrifying!... As he was lost in thought, the calm and steady orders echoed in his ears again, carrying an even colder intent to kill.

"Hmm, dealing with Luchong Clan, it's unclear how much time it will take, let's estimate four or five months! Then prepare for two or three more months, waiting for the autumn harvest in October... By then, all Maya clans will gather for divine descendants and hold grand harvest festivals!…"

"Yan Hu, it's set for October! Prepare the fleet and insider beforehand, ambush at Ekab Port of Yixi Clan, Tulum Port of Great Temple, and Yan Island Port of your Yan Island Clan... By that time, I will deploy six thousand elite main forces, gathering all the kingdom's naval forces, attacking in three separate routes! His Highness said, a Jaguar catching rabbits must exert full strength... let's cooperate inside and out, slaughter the Yixi divine descendants, seize Tulum Great Temple, capture Yan Island Port!... By then, you will be the only chief of Yan Island Clan and the recognized king of Ekab Chiefdom!...

"Ah! The only clan chief, the king of Ekab Chiefdom!"

At this moment, the young noble Yan Hu was filled with excitement, all his reluctance and worries vanished in an instant. He knelt heavily on the ground, clutching the Sun Amulet around his neck, and devoutly praised.

"Praise to the Supreme Divine! Praise to you, mighty and valiant Black Wolf General, I will certainly heed your command!…"

"Haha! Good! Good little wolf cub of the divine!…"

Black Wolf Torc squinted his eyes, laughing loudly. Then, he gazed at the sea towards the East, not focusing on the Maya coast or those chaotic clan chiefdoms, but on the broader Cuba coast, the endless Caribbean Islands!

"Divine protection! The prophecy about the white-skinned demons, the strong adversaries His Highness entrusted to me… have finally arrived!"
