Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

"Praise the Chief Divine, praise His Highness, praise the wise Black Wolf Legion Commander!"

"We will follow you, brave Great Chieftain of the Black Wolf!"

"With your words, we know what to do! Roar!"

The drizzle paused, and the sun emerged from the clouds, illuminating the boundless Caribbean Sea. The generals by the sea raised their hands to swear allegiance in the sunlight. They shouted loudly, their voices shaking the skies, expressing submission to the wise Black Wolf Torc.

The words of the Great General Black Wolf, "distinguishing friend from foe," were, in fact, a clearly defined action plan. After hearing it, the generals also roughly understood how to deal with the conquered Totonac Tribe and what to do with the different strata within the tribe.

"Very well! Kill our enemies and treat our friends well. This is the foundation of our standing! Praise the Chief Divine! Awoo!"

Black Wolf looked around at everyone, contentedly throwing back his head and howling long. His eyes were resolute and cold, like those of a merciless wolf in the snow. Then, with a fierce expression, the lead wolf grinned, revealing sharp teeth.

"Next, we will divide into three routes! One will clear the surroundings of the Feathered Serpent Ancient City, within a radius of sixty Li, taking all the Totonac camps and villages into direct control. One will go north, advancing along the coast, subduing the tribes along the way, allowing them to farm peacefully... Continue northward for two hundred and fifty Li, opening up land and sea routes to Vastec Crow City, establishing contact with the Silver Raven Tribe!"

"The final route, the main force of the army, will march south to attack the Totonac allied forces, striking at weak, scattered tribes, burning distant villages and forcibly relocating commoners... Until they reach Golden Bay City, one hundred and fifty Li away!"

Hearing such an ambitious plan, all the generals displayed eager expressions, like a pack of wolves eager to hunt. They lowered their heads, straightened their ears, and listened attentively to the specific arrangements of the lead wolf.

"Red Monkey Ozoma, I'm giving you one thousand from the Guajili Legion to oversee the clearing around Feathered Serpent Ancient City! Woodpecker Lichi, select one thousand Mistec Warriors. Wood Lizard, also select five hundred Totonac Warriors... Red Monkey, these fifteen hundred warriors are placed under your command to clean within a sixty Li radius! And when the clearing is completed, they will be the first to receive land grants and slaves around Feathered Serpent City!"

Upon hearing this, Militia Leader Red Ear's expression changed drastically. He couldn't help stepping forward, humbly kneeling on the ground, praying to the mighty Great Chieftain of the Black Wolf.

"Honorable Great Chieftain of the Black Wolf, within this sixty Li radius, there are actually many villages loyal to the Alliance, with faith in the Chief Divine!..."

Black Wolf raised his eyebrows, looking at Red Ear faintly for a moment, then he understood.

The three thousand militia who surrendered under Red Ear roughly came from the nearby sixty Li villages, which was about a day's swift march at most. Clearing the villages around Feathered Serpent City would affect the vital interests of the militias. Therefore, the always submissive Red Ear had to come forward and plead.

Black Wolf's thoughts turned, not in a hurry to reply to Red Ear. Instead, his gaze shifted to Red Monkey, asking in a deep voice.

"Red Monkey, how many were captured after capturing Feathered Serpent City?"

"Reporting to the Commander, besides the three thousand surrendered militiamen, we captured about seven thousand able-bodied men and women! They were all controlled by the Feathered Serpent nobles and priests."

"Seven thousand people... Hmm, about right. These people dared to resist the Kingdom, so they will all be demoted to agricultural slaves, distributed to the warriors of the various tribes to be awarded soon!"

With a wave of his huge hand, Black Wolf decided the fate of thousands of people and determined the promotion of various tribal warriors.

"All three thousand Mistec Warriors and two thousand Totonac Warriors will be promoted to the Kingdom's Second Level Warriors, receiving land and slaves just outside Feathered Serpent Ancient City nearby. Each person will be granted 20 acres of land and 1 slave... Hmm, that's five thousand agricultural slaves."

"Then, from the Mistec Warriors, select six hundred Third Level Warriors based on merit, and from the Totonac Warriors, select two hundred Third Level Warriors. These eight hundred Third Level Warriors will each be granted 100 acres of land and 5 slaves! It turns out the number of slaves is still short... short by..."

At this point, Black Wolf's speech paused, unable to calculate immediately. Red Monkey, assessing the situation, respectfully lowered his head and answered.

"Reporting to the Commander, approximately one to two thousand agricultural slaves are still needed! The army, after capturing Feathered Serpent City, saw many enemies scatter. We just need to capture some from the surrounding tribes, and we'll quickly make up the numbers!"

"Very good! Red Ear, your three thousand militia will also follow Red Monkey to participate in the clearing of various camps and villages. They are all local militias, with a clear understanding of the villages. Within the sixty Li radius, execute and sacrifice all tribal leaders, elders, and priests! Any resisting tribesmen, execute the men, and demote their wives and children to agricultural slaves!"

"Remember, let the local militia do the work themselves! Next, the management of each village will be handed over to them, allowing them to rise and take control. Each village will accommodate dozens or hundreds of surrendered militiamen, selecting several leaders who believe in the Chief Divine to form the Kingdom's direct agricultural village society! Their most important task will then be to supervise the villagers' conversion and organize this year's spring planting!"

At this point, Black Wolf raised his head, looking at the blazing sun. The lowland by the seaside did have an advantage, which was year-round farming. So even if clearing the tribes delayed for a month, planting in June would still be possible.

"No matter what, the surroundings of Feathered Serpent Ancient City must be cleared, turning into villages loyal to the Kingdom! And as long as the surrendered militias' hands are bloodied, gaining unimaginable power and wealth, there will be no turning back!"

"Praise the Great Chief Black Wolf! You are the generous and strong jungle Jaguar!"

Upon hearing the Great Chief Black Wolf's arrangements, Red Ear lifted his head and praised loudly. The unease on his face disappeared, replaced by a genuine smile. If the Great Chief Black Wolf delivers, then the surrender of the militias would not be a disaster but rather a colossal opportunity!

"The opportunity for the militias is the disaster for the tribal leaders! Haha, praise the Chief Divine, it's time to rise up and be the master!"

Red Ear prayed devoutly, then stood up. He instinctively reached out his hand to touch the sharp obsidian dagger at his waist, recalling the scene of being forced to kill the Feathered Serpent Priest. An unprecedented red color flickered in the depths of his eyes.

"Praise Chief Divine! For the second northern route, progress by water and land, recruit tribes along the way, and requisition canoes from each group until two or three hundred miles away to Crow City! The goal of this route is to open the road, requiring not too many troops..."

Black Wolf pondered briefly before choosing the leading general.

"Red Frog! I give you a thousand Guajili warriors, and five hundred Totonac militia as local guides. Remember, as you travel north, scout the situation along the way, send envoys to the northern tribes, demanding their tribute and submission! If the Totonac do not openly provoke, execute the Kingdom's envoys, or block the marching route, do not actively attack them..."

"Your primary task is to establish contact with the Silver Raven Tribe, request food supplies from Chief Papata! If Chief Papata is willing to take the initiative to send troops south to attack the Totonac's tribes, then a vast northern territory can be handed over to him!"

Black Wolf raised his head in generous promise. After departing from Five Mountains City and capturing the Feathered Serpent Ancient City, the coastal Totonac tribes were like a long snake struck at its seven-inch weak point, split directly in half!

From the Feathered Serpent Ancient City eastward and southward, the Eastern Totonac people occupy more than six hundred miles of coastline until the Eastern Holy Land Hidden Serpent City. While northward and westward from the Feathered Serpent Ancient City, within two hundred miles, the seaside tribes completely lost the Divine Descendant leader from the Feathered Serpent City, becoming scattered like loose sand.

"When all tribes within a radius of sixty miles are cleared out, the next step is to act against the north, to take care of all the scattered seaside tribes! The control range northward must extend until it borders the Silver Raven Tribe."

Black Wolf pondered for a moment, then raised his head again, looking at the generals who respectfully accepted their orders. He clearly understood that to completely assimilate the two surrendered armies, continuous warfare and constant victories were essential!

"For the last route, the main force heading south will be led by me personally! Red Deer, you bring two thousand Guajili legions as the central force. Woodpecker Lichi, you bring two thousand Mistec warriors, responsible for the inland west side. Wooden Lizard, you lead the remaining fifteen hundred Totonac warriors, responsible for the coastal east side. Tupa, bring ten Sun Divine Eagle Cannons as the reserve siege force!"

"Arrange the troops and prepare for departure! In three days, we will march heavily southward, to test the strength of the Totonac eastern allied forces until we reach Golden Bay City!"

At this point, Black Wolf raised his head and laughed heartily. His face was full of fearless determination, and his eyes burned with a cold fire.

"If the eastern Totonac people are not prepared to defend their city... we light a fire to burn down their central temple and destroy the prosperous Golden Bay City! Roar!"

Upon hearing such words, and thinking of the prosperity of Golden Bay City, the eastern expedition generals' eyes flickered with a wolf-like desire. Red Deer Masate, with eyes red, ripped open his chest's war clothes and was the first to shout out loud.

"Roar! Capture Golden Bay City, kill the Divine Descendants and the priests, then burn their temple! The women, population, wealth, they're all ours! And this coastal land belongs to the Kingdom!"

"Roar, roar! Siege, killing! Burn the temple, plunder! Offer the land to the Great Chief, offer sacrifices to the Chief Divine!"

The deafening roar echoed on the seaside mudflats. Generals widened their eyes, shouting fiercely to the sky, demonstrating their loyalty. Soon, the hundreds of trusted aides behind them started shouting fanatically. The longing for battle echoed through the vast seaside, foretelling a future of bloodshed.

Black Wolf, satisfied and triumphant, looked around at his wolf pack. The wolf pack, regardless of their origin, as long as their blood courage was aroused, could be used, far surpassing domestic dogs!

All the generals were shouting and cheering, only Red Monkey Ozoma remained calm. When the crowd's shouting subsided, he stepped forward respectfully.

"Honorable Black Wolf Legion Commander! Since we have captured the Feathered Serpent Ancient City, this Holy Land of the fake god should have its name changed... please grant a new name, so that this ancient seaside land may bask in the glory of the Chief Divine!"

"A new name?... Hmm..."

Black Wolf stroked his chin, pondered for a while, then waved his hand decisively, announcing in a loud voice.

"The great fire of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent has died down. Today, upon returning, let the captured able-bodied men start demolishing the burned ancient temple completely! We will rebuild a magnificent Main God Temple on the pyramid! We must bask in the Chief Divine's glory and bring His radiance to the lost Totonac tribes!"

"Praise the Supreme Main God! The priests have said, the Chief Divine killed the Feathered Serpent God, devouring His divinity and divine job... So, from now on, the new name of this ancient city will be 'The Land where the Chief Divine Slays the Feathered Serpent,' the Kingdom's Serpent Slaying City!"
