Chapter 638: The Second Kingdom Exploration, Maya Sixteenth Clan, Who Are You?
The setting sun slanted down and fell into the clouds on the sea, reflecting layers of colorful clouds. Tikalo looked at the sky blankly, as if he saw three thousand years of Mayan epics, rolling up in the sea of clouds, overflowing with colors.
The sun falls on the edge of the clouds, reflecting the golden outline, which is the glory of the golden age. The light shines into the clouds, revealing the deep red glow, which is the prosperity of Mayapan's revival. When the light falls into the depths, only
The bottomless abyss is the darkness and despair that destroyed the Cocom family!
Now, the once-desperate child of divine origin, who was thousands of miles away from home, has grown up and even grown old. But the hope he has been pursuing for forty years is still as dim as the dark moon.
"In this world, there will never be another hero named Kokom who is blessed by the gods."
Tikalo pursed his lips and hid all his emotions in his heart, turning them into desperate hatred and courage.
"Mortal people cannot pray for fate. They can only put aside everything and risk their lives to grab the hem of fate...even if the price is death!"
The moist wind blew from the sea, blowing people's clothes and foreheads. Everyone on the flagship was immersed in the story of the Eastern Maya and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time. The golden age came and ended, and the heroes of the gods came.
Then left, great kingdoms were established and then perished. But now, in the lowlands of the Eastern Maya, only fragmented clan chiefdoms remain.
"Of course, this is not a bad thing for the alliance and the kingdom that aspire to the world!"
The main god priest Tomat pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with light. He looked at the Mayan businessman who would regain his composure, and asked in a deep voice.
"Tikalo, you said that the Xiwu family attacked and killed the Cocom royal family, and the Mayapan Kingdom was destroyed. But how could such a huge kingdom be destroyed so easily? Didn't the generals of Mayapan attack the Xiwu family? Raid
What benefit does killing the royal family and committing such a heinous crime bring to the Xiu family? ...What is the Maya lowland in the east like now?"
Hearing this series of questions, Tikalo looked thoughtful. As expected, the priests and generals of the kingdom all have strong ambitions. And a divided Maya will inevitably attract bears like tempting honey.
Peeping. As long as...the bear is close enough and can be reached.
"The huge Mayapan Kingdom is actually a city-state alliance composed of hundreds of city-states spread across Yucatan and the lowlands. Each Maya city-state is located close to water sources and is distributed over a land area of 700 miles.
.In the jungle with difficult roads, communication is not convenient, and it is also difficult for large groups of warriors to march. Most of the alliance city-states are governed by local divine families. The immortal Mayapan is the one respected by all states.
The sect master of Feng! The divine Cocom royal family enjoys the title of 'King of Maya' and is the link that maintains the entire alliance!"
Regarding the destruction of Mayapan, Tikalo had stayed up all night and thought seriously about it for many years. At this moment, he spoke with a calmness like a sage.
"The Hiu family, originating from Uxmal, is the most powerful city-state leader family near the royal capital of Mayapan. It controls several large city-states and more than a dozen small villages and towns. Two hundred years ago, they gradually shifted the focus of their rule.
Moved from Uxmal to Mani. And this city-state is only fifty miles away from Mayapan! With their respected bloodline and their strong strength, they are highly involved in the politics of the kingdom, and are the most powerful in Mayapan.
One of the influential noble families... In other words, it is like the relationship between the former city-state of Texcoco and Trochititlan!"
Hearing this, the chief priest Tomat was a little surprised. It turned out that this rebellious Xiu family was a powerful prince very close to the royal capital! Such a rebel with alien intentions, powerful strength, and close proximity to Chi Chi,
It’s really impossible to guard against it, so you can only take the initiative!
As for the Mayans, their bloodline of respecting divinity has been passed down for thousands of years, and their class is almost constant. They have an extremely strict hierarchy of nobility and nobility, and they also have aristocratic power that is far more powerful than the alliance.
Many divine families have reproduced for thousands of years and have extremely large family members. They often control more than one city-state, and are also in charge of the theocratic and military power of the city-state. Therefore, the political structure of the Maya tribes was formed after the clan politics developed to its extreme.
An oligarch or an exclusive clan chiefdom.
"The conflict between the Xiwu family and the Kokom royal family has been going on for a long time. There have been twists and turns, and it even started from the hostility between the capital of God and the capital of snakes in the golden age. After the establishment of Mayapan, the Kokom royal family continued to expand and gradually centralized its power.
.As the most powerful divine family closest to the royal capital, the Xiwu family has suffered the greatest loss. On the surface, the Xiwu family is respectful and obedient, and has even been married to the royal family for many generations, but secret dissatisfaction has been building up... What a pity.
! There is no ruthless elder in Mayapan who can kill these hidden poisonous snakes in advance!"
"The Xiwu family raided Mayapan, killed all the Cocom royal family, and burned down the capital. The entire city-state alliance lost its cohesive bond. Marching in the rainforest was inconvenient. Without the cooperation of the city-states along the way to provide food and civilians, it would be difficult for the conquest army to move.
Yuan. The royal family was destroyed too quickly. Within ten days, the blood of thousands of divine descendants and tens of thousands of civilians covered the royal capital, submerging the stadium into a lake of blood! Under the brutal massacre of the Xiwu family,
No high-ranking prince of Kokom can escape from the capital and call on all countries to come to his aid..."
Tikalo lowered his eyes and suppressed his choked voice. He bit his lower lip hard before regaining his composure and spoke.
"Therefore, in this sudden rebellion, except for the Kanur family, which was hostile to the Xiwu family and was also close to Mayapan, no reinforcements from other clans arrived in time. The royal family was completely destroyed, and the military leaders of the alliance were scattered everywhere.
.They lost their respected patriarch, so they took the clan as the foundation, occupied the land as king, and attacked each other... From then on, the entire Mayapan Kingdom, from the eastern seaboard to the western seaside, from the northern coast to the southern lowlands, was divided into sixteen
A clan emirate of different sizes, with different strengths and weaknesses!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sixteen clan emirates?"
The main god priest Thomas touched his chin, thinking about the situation that was shattered into pieces. So, among these emirates, who are the enemies of the kingdom and who are the friends of the kingdom? Or, who are the allies who can temporarily form alliances...
Priest Thomas pondered for a moment, then looked at Tikalo and asked in a deep voice.
"Which clans are the most powerful among these sixteen countries? Where do they occupy the Yucatan Peninsula, and how many warriors do they control?"
Hearing this, Puap nodded heavily and spoke murderously.
"Yes! Where is the Haxiwu family, the bloodline of the Heavenly Serpent, and how many warriors do they have under their command?"
"Mayapan was destroyed, and the kingdom was divided into sixteen clans and sixteen kingdoms. Among them, the four most powerful clans were concentrated in the northern Yucatan, where there was ample water and a large population. And these four clans also controlled Yuca
The sea and land trade on the Tan Peninsula controls the shipping route to the Quetzalcoatl Island, and occupies the most amazing wealth!"
Tikal had a smile on his face and spoke in a leisurely manner. He knew the key points that His Highness Shulot valued, and he also knew what to say to impress the priests and warriors of the Lake Kingdom.
"These four families are along the coast of the peninsula, from west to east: the Kanur family on the far west side of the peninsula, the third most powerful, with its capital at Karkini Kapok City (i); the west-to-west part of the peninsula, with its capital at Mani City
, the Xiu family (Xiu), the most powerful family who occupies the Mayapan royal territory; the Cupul family (Cupul), the second most powerful family with many vassals in the east-central part of the peninsula and its capital at White Eagle City (Zaci); and
There is the Ekab Chiefdom Alliance (Ekab) on the easternmost side of the peninsula, centered on the sacred island of Cozumel (el), which controls the flight route to Long Island of the Quetzalcoatl."
"The Ekabu Chiefdom Alliance controls the Quetzalcoatl Chang Island shipping route?"
Hearing this, the main priest Thomas was a little confused.
"Tikalo, the other three are all clan chiefdoms, why is this Ekabu an alliance of chiefdoms?"
"Dear Priest of the Lord God, because the Ekabu Alliance is an alliance formed by multiple families under the call of the Holy Land Yan Island. In the alliance, the status of each family city-state, under the eyes of the Rain God, is
equal."
"An alliance of equal states? In this form...if something big happens, who will make the final decision?"
"Ha! Dear Priest of the Lord God, all states have equal status, and Yan Island, the holy land dedicated to the God of Rain, is naturally more equal than other city-states!"
Ti Carlo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a somewhat sarcastic smile.
“So, when something big happens, it’s natural for the chief priests of the Holy Land to make the decision!”
Hearing this, the main priest Tomat pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, as if he had some understanding.
"...The Xiwu family is the most powerful?"
Puap's face looked a little uncertain. After a while, he still felt cruel and asked again.
"Ti Carlo, how many warriors do each of these families you mentioned have, and how many swords do they control?"
"I'm just an ordinary Mayan businessman. How can I know the secrets of these ministries?"
Hearing this expected question, the Mayan merchant blinked and answered with a smile.
"However, given the prosperity of the lowland Maya, the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, the homeland of the Mayapan Kingdom, has a population of 1.5 million, after all!"
"A population of 1.5 million! If thirty people can produce one warrior, wouldn't it mean that at least 50,000 warriors can be produced?!"
Hearing this, Puap looked shocked. Such a huge population was already close to the peak of the Kingdom in the Lake. And the eastern Maya lowlands were three thousand miles away from the Mexica Alliance, making it difficult to dispatch an army!
"Fortunately, the huge Mayapan has disintegrated and split into a clan chiefdom... In this way, even if the noble god is killed, he can still go to other chiefdoms."
Puap's expression changed, and murderous intent loomed.
"The blood of the Serpent God can cure the curse of the Eagle!..."
As the sun sets, the golden-red glow changes on the horizon, falling in everyone's eyes like an unpredictable future. Compared with the Mayan clan chiefdoms, the strength of the kingdom's expedition fleet is not worth mentioning.
However, the Kingdom fleet is just the first tentacle. Behind the Kingdom fleet, there is the powerful plateau eagle, and the ambitious and divinely inspired His Highness! There is no doubt that this is a powerful force that can affect the Yucatan Peninsula.
.And the attitude of this powerful force toward the Mayan clans when they first meet is decided in the hands of a few people on the flagship!
The old militiaman Chihuaco had been watching with cold eyes and remained silent. Until this moment, he looked at Tikalo with a cold face and asked coldly.
"Ti Carlo, you hairless fox, you are very thoughtful! You just said so much, I only have one question...who are you?"
