Chapter 70: The Imperial Council

"From the beginning," Magellan seemed to be careless, but in fact, his movements, demeanor, and even tone and words were all carefully prepared, and he was completely the emperor's favorite, "I have entered this war for one purpose, the Inca, and that is to find a lost thing, which is within the borders of the empire." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The Emperor smiled, he liked to be called the Incas, of course, the vast majority of people within the empire would not call him that, because it was too solemn, or too flattering, and considering that the outsider did not know about it, it seemed natural and kind for him to say so.

"Your companion, the Eagle Warrior who helped me a lot in battle, says the same," the Lord of the Empire nodded, "I promise you that you deserve it, and that a wise and well-informed warrior will take you in search of that thing." ā€

"Your generosity is like the light of the sun. "Magellan's imperial etiquette was flawless, which made the emperor even happier. "Then I quit. ā€

The Emperor smiled and nodded, and Magellan turned to leave, leaving only Tonan, still confused in surprise.

"How...... I...... He?"

"Don't worry, Aztec warrior," the Emperor smiled, comforting the warrior in front of him in his accustomed way, "he has received the reward he deserves, and yours will not be less, for together you have accomplished this great victory, and above all, you are the commander of the army." ā€

"But war ......"

"Ah, don't worry," the Emperor knew what Tonan was trying to say, "even without this warrior, we wouldn't have lost the war, you know, the enemy has been weakened to the point where he can't continue the attack." ā€

"But he's a very important force. Tonan knew that he could never directly refute the Emperor's words, even though he knew that the war was over was extremely foolish.

"The allies of the Empire have always been Aztec brave warriors," the Emperor raised his right hand, and soon one of the warriors brought sharp obsidian weapons, ornate as if they were works of art more than weapons, "You deserve it, every warrior has it." ā€

"It's a great honor......" Tonan was very surprised, in his opinion, this favoritism was too obvious, the emperor only gave Magellan a pass and a guide, while the Aztec warriors were each given a priceless set of weapons and armor, and Tonan, as a commander, hated this from the bottom of his heart.

"Like you said, the war isn't over yet," the Emperor stood up and walked toward a side door, "come with me, warrior, and we'll have to take some time to end this war once and for all." ā€

Tonan resisted not saying anything against it, and followed the emperor into a large room.

It was a conference room, and there were already a lot of people waiting in it, a few of them Tonan knew, but more of them strangers he didn't know.

He felt a palpable hostility.

This was a great surprise to Tonan, but more of a disappointment.

The Emperor put away his smile, sat down on his throne, and then called the meeting to order.

It was a pre-imperial meeting to draw up a battle plan, and the topic of discussion was how to end the war once and for all, drive the armies of outsiders out of the borders of the empire, and by the way, conquer the steppe tribes who had resisted for hundreds of years.

Tonnan felt like he was listening to a joke.

Magellan had told him countless times that this victory would be an opportunity for a counterattack, but it was still far from victory, and if the Imperial troops came out of the fortress, a devastating blow awaited them.

But it is clear that not a single person in the empire thinks so.

Tonan looked at the big men who were "fighting with reason", and he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, his heart was cold, and he didn't know what the outcome of the soldiers who followed him through this expedition would get.

The Emperor's two sons, the likely masters of the Empire's future, were at the heart of the controversy at the meeting, and they were-for-tat, and the two men disagreed on almost any issue other than the necessity of sending troops in pursuit, and each had valid reasons.

The rest, with the exception of the Emperor, joined the argument, which seemed pointless and unnecessary to Tonan, arguing over stupid questions such as how many cliffs the camp should be built.

No one really cared how the war would continue, and Tonan gradually understood it, and everyone just wanted others to know that he was the cause of this victory and deserved to be rewarded.

They knew that the Aztecs would not take anything, so the emperor let Magellan, an outsider, leave.

Tonnan put his hand on his forehead, pressed his thumb and middle finger to his temple, and covered his eyes with the palm of his hand to prevent anyone from seeing his angry eyes.

The emperor was also one of those who wanted to take away the merits.

Tonnan began to miss the rainforests of the north, where his homeland, the great Tenochtitlan, was warm and humid, where dinosaurs scurried through the fat green leaves, and heavy rain fell every night.

There is no one here who can compare to the finger of the outsider named Magellan.

But they are still some of the most powerful people in the empire, holding the fate of countless people in this vast land.

"How pathetic......"

......

Magellan followed the warriors and soon saw the eagles who were already eager to go.

"Long time no see. ā€

Wen smiled and stretched out his paw to take Magellan's hand.

"You've done something amazing, Professor Magellan. ā€

"That's just a little bit of preparation to find the Eagle's Nest, and now the really important thing is about to begin, and we're going to find the Eagle's Nest. ā€

"Ah......" all the eaglemen let out a long sigh together, containing countless emotions, "yes, finally ......"

"Thank you for the generosity of the Emperor," Magellan said in a timely gesture to the Inca beside him, who smiled happily, "and our journey will be smooth sailing." ā€

"Thank you. Wen nodded to the guide.

"Let's go. ā€

"Let's go. ā€

......

The countess stood on a high hill, surrounded by clouds and mist.

"What a surprise......"

......

Francis is struggling through the rainforest.

It was foolish to leave Maya unprepared, he didn't do it out of his intention, it was the audacity of the explorers to do it.

That Francie definitely has a part, he is good at inciting people, and the king of the world will never have good intentions towards the Holy See, Francis has long been clear about this.

The situation was so unfavorable to him that the explorers accused him of deliberately delaying the advance plan of the Mayan city-state and the de facto control of the rainforest to clear the Aztecs and completely occupy the rainforest.

That's absolute nonsense.
