Sixty-six, the Mayans who killed themselves

The gods are born out of human fantasies and obsessions, and at the same time interfere with human beings in the form of fantasies and obsessions.

If you believe that the gods have punished you, then you will really be hurt. Otherwise, no god can hurt you a hair.

This is the theological point of view of the Communists, or the theory of "psychomechanics".

However, there seems to be something wrong with this seemingly scientific occult theory.

“…… Wait, if the gods of the Indians don't exist for me, why is Princess Snow Princess's blood magic still working on me and allowing me to understand her language? Wang Qiu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly shouted, "...... It's not scientific! ”

“…… Snow Ji Delan? The Aztec princess who just arrived recently? Professor Yang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "...... I just came back today, and I don't know a lot about what has happened recently, so please tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail. ”

Wang Qiu carefully told Professor Yang about how he was invited by Xue Ji Dailan to drink blood in the square in front of the pyramid, and then suddenly became proficient in Navajo (the language of the Aztecs).

But Professor Yang thought for a while, and didn't remember a similar situation, so he just shook his head and sighed, "...... Can her blood magic really work on you? This is a little strange, and it doesn't seem to make sense. Well, I suspect it's not some magic or sorcery, but something similar to those of us who are capable of space...... Of course, I'm not very proficient in this area, so I'll wait until later! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

Due to the rush of time and the lack of mobilization, the "Strategic Rocket Army" stationed in the suburbs did not participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Mayans near the port. But even with the more than 1,000 indigenous warriors who were temporarily assembled, Hope Port already had an absolute superiority in troops.

What's more, after the Mayan high priest was knocked down by Wang Qiu with a brick, and the feathered serpent god was wiped out, those Mayan soldiers who were originally good morale, because they couldn't accept such a huge psychological gap, instantly went from one extreme to another, from murderous to soulless, and they had no fighting spirit in their hearts, and almost all of them were captured...... Occasionally, a few resisted but were quickly knocked to the ground by the defenders.

When cleaning up the battlefield afterwards, Wang Qiu was very surprised to find that there were not a single dead in this battle, not even many wounded.

Then, after this short, completely one-sided battle, Wende ordered the Mayan prisoners of war to be tortured and scattered, and it took little effort to figure out the cause and effect of the Mayan army in Tepetvanc City for attacking Port Hope by sea.

Speaking of which, the Mayans' self-defeating expedition was largely forced out by the traversers.

Two years ago on this plane, the plague brought by the four Chrono City Managers when they first arrived, and the wrong countermeasures of the Mayan priests piling up a large number of corpses to sacrifice to the gods in the city, caused the southern commercial and commercial city of Tepetvank to suffer heavy losses, and the population was reduced by half.

Then, the rapid rise of Port Hope replaced Tepetvank as a port trade hub on the Pacific coast of Central America, leaving the city increasingly scarce and economically declining. The rulers of Tepetvank, the noble priests who exercised theocratic rule over the city, were naturally resentful of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan in the northwest in the face of the declining and dilapidated city and dwindling wealth. …,

However, Port Hope is located near the port of Acapulco in later Mexico, not adjacent to the city of Tepetavanc, the two cities are separated by hundreds of kilometers, and the military strength of the city of Tepetvanc is not very good, and the Mayan army composed of militias has no experience in long-distance expeditions, but has the painful memory of being defeated by the Aztec expeditionary force. The Mayan noble priests who ruled the city did not dare to leave the city of Tepetvanc, which their ancestors had painstakingly managed, to wage war against such a distant foreign country, fearing that they would be taken advantage of...... So I can only endure it for the time being.

However, it didn't take long for them to take it anymore.

-- This year's city of Tepetvank was hit by drought and the Black Death, and the city-state, which was already suffering from a devastated vitality, died even more in ten rooms. The mass illness of the farmers and the prolonged drought further contributed to the near extinction of the corn harvest in the city of Tepetvank.

To make matters worse, several small rivers near the city of Tepetvank, the city's main water source, were diverted or dried up in the drought - plague, drought, famine, water cut-off...... At this point, the fall of the city of Tepetvank was almost a foregone conclusion.

The remaining Mayan priests in the city performed a divination and decided that Tepetvanc had become a "cursed land" and no longer fit for habitation. If they want their tribe to continue to thrive and enjoy a pampered life, rather than burrowing into the jungle and drinking blood like the wildlings, they must move the whole city and form an army to attack other tribes and rob them of their cities and lands.

As a result, Hope Port, which has recently become prosperous and wealthy, has become one of their most coveted targets.

Although the Mayan army has always been weak, almost since the birth of the Mayan civilization, it has been brutally abused by enemies on the Mexican plateau over and over again, and there is even a record of being colonized by Mexican invaders for a long time. But when it came to witchcraft, the Mayan priests were confident.

In the legends of the Mayans, there are many such legends: a powerful priest said goodbye to his teacher, came to a city alone, and with his own magic and magic alone, the people of the city were so shocked and shocked that they bowed down and prostrated him as king.

Therefore, Tepetvank City sent a few priest apprentices, disguised as merchants, to infiltrate Hope Port in an attempt to find out the details of this new emerging city.

Next, these high-level spies with mana were in a mood like a roller coaster.

- They were first glad to learn that the old adversaries who were able to confront the Mayan priests by magic, namely the priests and sorcerers of the Hunghiutizgans, had been killed by the Aztecs in the war a few years earlier, and that there were few survivors; Then he was dismayed and horrified to see that those legendary "foreign gods" did have the elusive ability to take out all kinds of incredible items and crops, and with a wave of his hand, mountains of wood disappeared into the void; But after that, they keenly noticed that these "god men" did not seem to be very good at fighting, and basically did not hear the legend that these "god men" used their power to destroy a certain city and conquer a certain place......

When this intricate piece of information, mixed with the imagination of many individuals, was transmitted back to Tepetvanc, it immediately sparked controversy among the Mayan nobility. Some people think that the port of hope is really strong and difficult to attack, so they should look for other targets. Some people think that they are already trying to survive at the moment anyway, so they might as well give it a try...... For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and there was no agreement.

Zuihou, the lord of Tepetvank City, a high priest who served Quetzalcoatl, felt that he had great powers and boundless power, and could even summon Quetzalcoatl to help him fight, so he arrogantly declared to everyone that he was just a handy way to deal with a few foreign rookies, and he just went straight to the fight.

Unable to persuade the rest of the nobles to join him in the expedition, the high priest of the city lord took his apprentices, cronies, and family members, totaling more than 500 people, and sailed across the ocean in a majestic manner, riding canoes and ocean-going rafts, towards the port of hope.

Then, his boundless mana, which can call the wind and rain, was smashed by a brick of the chengguan intern on the beach of Hope Harbor.

-- What Quetzalcoatl God and the High Priest are weak in the face of scientific materialist thought, only our city management is truly invincible!
