Chapter 59: Recuperation before the war
"Where's Francis?"
The Holy Spirit knew that he was going to start chattering about his sins in the rainforest just by looking at the explorer's face, but fortunately in the end the Holy Spirit caught up and the explorer had not yet spoken, so it was not a violation of etiquette to change the subject at this time.

Despite the great reluctance of the explorer, he began to answer the questions of the Holy Spirit.
"Francis is now the head of the Mayan city-state alliance, and I have come this time to tell the new crusaders that we have found a way to march and that we can no longer endure such long supply lines. ”
"No, the army will not enter the rainforest, we have also met enemies in the steppe, and the war will not stop until science completely owns this continent. ”
The explorer didn't quite understand what the Holy Spirit meant, and although he didn't understand what Francis meant, the explorer was more willing to ask the Holy Spirit than his companion.
"What do you mean?"
"The promise of the Holy See is still valid, and you can tell Francis that he will be the master of this continent, but that will be after the war is over. The people who occupy this land don't just live in the rainforest, and the New Crusaders won't be able to help him, at least until the war on the steppes is over. ”
The explorer smiled.
That's exactly what he wanted to see.
"I'll take that back with me. ”
The Holy Spirit looked at the man in front of him, and the ugliness and squalor in his heart were unobstructed.
It's like an adult looking at an ant on the side of the road, a little curious, but because it's too familiar, even the expression won't change in the slightest.
The Holy Spirit nodded, and then a warrior left with the explorer.
"Why is Francis asking for help when the rainforest is already occupied?"
The devout believer, who had been quietly in his tent, came to the Holy Spirit and said as he watched the explorer's departing back.
"He's almost on the verge of taking possession of the rainforest. ”
"Isn't the trouble from the natives?"
The Holy Spirit nodded: "Only explorers." ”
The devout quickly understood what the Holy Spirit meant: "If it's an explorer, that's normal indeed." ”
It was because Francis was about to occupy the rainforest that the explorers became a great threat. When there are still enemies in the rainforest, explorers will follow Francis, who knows how to fight, and when victory gets closer, it will all come to an end.
Explorers would kill Francis in his sleep for the rainforest, and he knew it.
"Then why don't we help him?"
Francis was chosen by the Holy See to die at the hands of the natives of the rainforest, but not at the hands of explorers.
"The rainforest has not yet been conquered, and the day has not yet come when explorers lose patience. The Holy Spirit stood up and prepared to begin another round, "Even if the rainforest is conquered, Francis will come here with explorers." He didn't know it before, but now this servant of science does. ”
That means Francis is safe.
The devout man stood up and, before going back to continue praying, asked his last question: "How did he survive?"
"I don't know. ”
The Holy Spirit walked out of the tent.
......
"Do you have any thoughts on the plan to find the Eagle's Nest?"
Wen stood under a large tree, was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"I thought ......"
"That's just to get the locals to accept us, after all, that's the first step. Wen paused, then turned to look at Magellan, "Why do you ask?"
"This war is not interesting. ”
"There has never been a funny war in the world. But the Hawkman has a proverb that only war, can make allies. ”
"If you just want to ask this ally for a favor, you'd better stay behind on the battlefield. ”
Wen glanced at Magellan, "I thought you were already an ally of the Aztecs." Legend has it that Professor Magellan was always disdainful of deception or concealment......"
"War, I have never been involved in war. ”
"When you kill the gods," Wen looked at Magellan in surprise, "you don't think it's war?"
"War is what can decide the fate of many people. ”
"For us, it doesn't matter if it's war or not. When you decide that you have to get help from a country, you can do a lot of things, but you can't change the direction. ”
"The agreement between us is still valid, Hawkman. ”
Magellan departed, and he happened to meet Tonnan in the clearing behind the tree, who had returned from his tour of the camp.
"The morale of the fighters is good, and there are no problems with rest. So far, Tonan is happy with everything, "The Aztecs like to fight for the Empire, they talk the talk, and it's colder in the south after the rainforest, but it's not unbearable." ”
"I have heard that the empire has rarely suffered setbacks in the war of conquest of the East. ”
Tonnan realized almost instantly what Magellan didn't say: "You're saying that this war won't go as smoothly as it used to?"
"You know that the empire started a war, but what about the other side of the war?"
"I haven't heard anything about it so far," Tonnan said, glancing at Magellan, "is there anything you want to say?"
"The regular army, unified logistics, with strict organizational discipline, fanatical beliefs united them. ”
Tonan frowned, "What else?"
"No, I once offended the people in charge of this army, so I ......"
"The Aztecs have only faced one such enemy once......" Tonan sighed, as if trapped in a distant memory, "the Empire has completely routed our army, and it is only because of its reluctance to enter the rainforest that the Aztecs have been given a chance to survive." Despite this, we were forced to become Inca mercenaries, and for a hundred years, we went to war with our own food, winning the war without getting a little booty......"
"Perha......ps," Magellan smiled wryly, "I must add that this army may indeed have come with their gods." ”
"Bad news. Tonan shook his head, "Don't let any of the fighters know. ”
The commander glanced at Magellan with a warning look, and the latter nodded: "But you must know what to do, you are the commander." ”
"The Aztecs had no gods. We would always kill prisoners of war and sacrifice for the sun, but did you know that the sun doesn't speak to the elders, he just passes quietly through the sky, and many people believe that the sun only speaks to the Incas. ”
"This time the Incas are your allies......"
"In the past, too, in decades, hundreds of wars, you know? The Inca gods never appeared on the battlefield. ”
