Chapter 57: Declaration of War

The Aztecs were not prepared to pick up the corpses of the explorers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although they thought the explorers were too stupid to be considered worthy sacrifices, people living in the rainforest had a habit of hanging the corpses of uninvited guests in front of their homes to mark the boundaries of their territory.

But when Magellan told them that the outsiders had a deadly plague on them, Tonan forcefully stifled all the native warriors' desire to collect the spoils of war and threw their bodies into the already miasma-ridden swamp of death.

"It does make the swamp more dangerous," Magellan disagreed with letting the fighters go deep into the swamp and dump the bodies away from the camp, "but the swamp is dangerous enough." ”

It took Tonan a moment to realize an unfair reality: the plagues were harmless to explorers, but deadly to the Aztecs.

"Sure enough, they were beasts crawling out of hell. ”

The mighty T-Rex knight sighed and asked the soldiers to throw the corpse not far from the camp.

"I'm curious, what are you?"

Magellan knew exactly what the commander meant, but he still looked at Tonan with a dazed and ignorant face: "What?"

"You know these beasts so well that it's like you're living in hell......"

"I do live in the same place as these outsiders, but it's not hell. ”

"But you chose to help the Aztecs?"

The Tyrannosaurus rex, which had been lying next to the two of them, opened its eyes and stared at Magellan with its dark brown eyes that belonged to lizards, it was so huge that it looked like a boulder.

"I didn't want to get involved in this war at all, but you see, now I'm a prisoner of the Aztecs. ”

Tonan's face was not much better than his mount, and he stared at Magellan's face as if he were choosing a place to open a hole.

"You can leave whenever you want. ”

"If it weren't for the dinosaurs, I would have died in the swamp. ”

"At least you don't have to help the Aztecs at all. ”

"Your elders promised me that if I helped you win the war, I would get a pass to your destination. ”

"So you're nothing more than the same thing as these beasts, and you just happen to be on our side, right?"

"If you see the really important parts...... Yes. ”

The Tyrannosaurus rex closed its eyes quietly.

"Well, then, let's get started, you should know that if we huddle in the camp and do nothing, sooner or later these beasts will strangle everyone to death. ”

"You're going to attack?"

"That's the only option. ”

Magellan sighed and followed Tonan into the camp.

In a treehouse, the Commander pulled out a shrunken head and placed it in a puddle of clear liquid in the middle of the room.

It was a bare head, slowly unfolding in the liquid soak, and you could see the happy smile on the only half of the face left, which looked more funny than terrifying.

"What is this?"

"Map. ”

The skull stretched to a certain point and stopped, and the wrinkles on the scalp formed a complex pattern that Magellan could see at a glance that was a map of this swamp of death.

"In the east are the Mayans, who built city-states in the rainforest, cultivated corn, but ......"

"I know. ”

Magellan interrupted Tonan's explanation, knowing that the other man wouldn't care.

"What are you going to do?"

"Create chaos. ”

Tonan was silent and began to think.

"You mean this army?"

"Those corpses are not scouts. ”

Tonan laughed, because it was a joke.

In a war, a warrior on one side of the flanks leaves the army and enters an unknown place of death, which can only be compelled by the weight of being a scout.

"Actually, it was an outlaw who wanted to find gold before most of his companions and monopolize all his wealth. ”

Tonnan didn't laugh, though he had countless reasons to laugh.

"So it's almost like in the story, we are facing a group of real monsters, without wisdom or glory, but so powerful that they are almost unstoppable......"

"No, unlike the story, we don't necessarily win. ”

Magellan had convinced the commander that Tonan knew what he meant, that knowing the enemy in war was one of the most important things, and at least for now, he did think of one thing that should be done.

"You mean creating chaos?"

"Yes. ”

It's a viable plan, even a well-disciplined army can collapse completely from chaos, and if outsiders are so distrustful and organized, it will be very easy to create civil unrest, and the destructive power that will come with it will be terrifying.

"Who's going?"

Magellan smiled: "I happen to be famous among those people, they won't trust me." ”

Tonnan didn't ask anything more, much to Magellan's relief, and although he wasn't lying, it was still a big problem to explain his relationship with the explorer.

"Then there's only one left. ”

"Linguistic genius, ordinary but appropriately distinctive, not to arouse suspicion, but not useless. ”

The commander smiled and looked up: "Azholm." ”

"Don't tell him I said that to you. ”

"He'll thank you. ”

......

The second son of the Great Sun Emperor and the governor of the Eastern Province of the Empire, Vaman stood in his tent, looking up at a corner of the tent, as if searching for a specific pattern, or revelation from a god.

But in reality, he was just in a daze.

This promising prince, a general with great military achievements, is pondering a very troublesome question.

For the Incas, there should be no defeat in this world, and there should be no enemies that the imperial army cannot defeat, so the prince's confusion is not without reason.

Eventually, however, he ended his fugue and stepped out of the tent.

Outside, there was a flat grassland, the army tents were neatly arranged, everything was just in order, and when a man stood in it, he could not help but feel that he had great power.

But Vaman, the master of all this, did not think so, and the frustration in his heart was like a dark cloud in the sky.

A warrior with an eagle on his shoulder walked over, and it was time to send military intelligence to the capital.

"Tell my father, the great sun itself, that I and my army have encountered a group of enemies in the steppes that have never appeared...... And fiasco. ”

"As you wish, Your Highness. ”

The warrior tied the leaves with these words to the eagle's feet and released the bird of prey.

The eagle took to the skies.

Beneath it is an endless grassland, a sea of green that stretches to the end of the world, but not without borders, and the destination of the birds is on the western edge of the grassland.
