Pirate Kingship

"Look, it seems like it's started!"

When the blood sacrifice in the royal city reached its climax, it was bounded by Lake Texcoco.

The city of Texcoco on the east coast and the city of Tlacopan on the west coast are also holding similar blood sacrifice rituals.

The Hastings Expeditionary Force, led by the Taya people, broke through the dangerous rainforest and arrived at the city of Tlacopan on the west coast three days in advance.

Major General Newman, the insect swarm, Temple Guard Captain Geronimo, and the remaining six pirate generals all stood on a high ground outside the city, looking towards the bloody city of Tlacopan.

The winding river of blood and the broken idols were no different from what Byron had seen with his own eyes.

The only difference is that there is no shadow of the [Golden Code] or the Skinned Lord here.

Seeing this unexpected and horrifying sight, even the three third-level transcendental beings who had long known that they were performing an abnormal blood sacrifice couldn't help but change their expressions.

“The gambler can expect a huge profit at the price he pays.

Except for the Patron Saint [Lord of the Skinned], all the other Azik gods were killed at the ‘Killing God Banquet’ just now?

What on earth are those Aziks planning to do to do such a big thing? ! "

They don't have the convenience of Byron, the "time management guru."

Until now, the spies sent out have not brought back any valuable clues.

However, whether it was the Hetings or the representative of the Taya people, Geronimo, they knew that this would never be a good thing.

Once the blood sacrifice is over and the Aziks achieve their goals, whether they are outsiders or the natives of the anti-Atzik alliance, the end may not be too good.

Especially when the entire Azik Empire, animistic vegetation, streams, mountains, lakes and seas all echoed the same sentence:

"God-given kingship! The emperor is the son of God, and I will make you a monarch and king of every place in the world!"

In their ears, this sentence seemed to be spoken by a "god" and was more like a declaration of war against the whole world.

"Attack, attack quickly!

The Castilians who are bearing the brunt of the crisis must be more anxious than us.

Neither the Royal City of Azik nor their maritime overlord can care about Tracopan here anymore.

As long as we can interrupt the blood sacrifice ceremony here, we will definitely weaken their power! "

Major General Newman could not wait any longer and quickly issued the order to attack.

And it's not just him.

Knowing that persimmons are soft, there are many smart people like them who have taken a fancy to the fat piece of Tlacopan during this period.

"Attack! Attack!"

"Kill me——!"

There were shouts and shouts one after another in the lush jungle, and then many outsiders rushed out from all directions of the indigenous city.

Kingdoms, pirates, privateers, colonial companies, speculators fishing in troubled waters, and other anti-Azik indigenous city-state alliances are all there.

Byron glanced over and discovered the flags on the left and right sides next to his house, which were the Rhine League and the very familiar Remite Golden Palm Trading Company.

It's a pity that it is impossible for outsiders to march through the rugged jungle with cannons weighing several tons.

Except for a few extraordinary beings with the ability to fly, it is not that easy to break through the tall rock walls in a short time.

Even if they enter the city, they will still face a fierce street battle, attacking the pyramid street by street.

Byron, however, had already made other preparations and waved to Little Hans, the Craftsman behind him.

"Pull things up."

The latter immediately commanded the pirates of the Marine Corps to push up a large number of catapults that were made using local materials during this period.

Naturally, it is produced by the Orphan Alliance.

Then boxes after boxes of cluster bombs tied with Molotov cocktails were placed at their feet.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that most of the elite pirates from the original Hook Privateering Group have already joined Byron's command.

For the sake of meritorious service, the captain's position in the 721 mode and the profit share, they all worked extra hard when setting up the catapult.

After a while.

"emission!"

Under the command of [gunnery expert] Wyandot, "exploding fireballs" streaked across the battlefield and landed on the city of Tlacopan.

It easily created a sea of ​​fire and wiped out the nearby Azik guards.

The idea of ​​a catapult is not unusual, but Byron’s improved Molotov cocktail made General Newman overjoyed:

"Bill, Byron, you have done a good job. No matter what the harvest is, I will take credit for your credit! The rest of you will take care of me!"

The ceremony in the royal city continues.

As that sacred and majestic voice echoed repeatedly, a staircase-like pillar of brilliant light rose into the sky from each of the temples in the city.

The layout of the royal city is regular, with a "Death Avenue" in the center, and an east-west avenue extending three kilometers south.

The intersecting cross streets divide the city into four parts, and the Skinned Temple is located in the very center of the city.

The Pyramid of the Moon stands at the northern end of the "Avenue of Death", and temples are dotted on both sides of the avenue, including the Pyramid of the Sun, the Temple of the Rain God, and the Temple of the God of War.

When the light pillars in the temples in this thousand-year-old city soared into the sky, Byron discovered an astonishing fact.

"This seems to be the trajectory of the planets in the sky!"

If you observe carefully, the distance between the temples on the "Avenue of Death" seems to exactly represent the trajectory of the planets in the sky.

The distance between the third planet and the sun is 96 units, the second planet is 72, the first planet is 36, and the fourth planet is 144.

The bloody artificial river is 288 units away from the central axis of the pyramid, which is exactly the distance of the asteroid belt between the fourth and fifth planets.

The next temple is 520 units away from the central axis, which is equivalent to the distance from the fifth planet to the sun.

After another 945 units, there is another temple, which is the distance from the sun to the sixth planet.

After another 1845 "units", you will reach the center of the Moon Pyramid, which is exactly the orbital data of the seventh planet.

Extending the "Death Avenue" in a straight line, the last two temples are already outside the city.

The distances are 2880 and 3780 "units" respectively, which is exactly the orbital distance of the eighth and ninth planets!

When all the temple light pillars are lit, all the stars in the sky are lit during the day, covering the entire royal city.

Moreover, from the perspective of the royal city, the nine most important stars seemed to be connected by chance, and the astronomical wonder of nine stars in a row appeared.

"It's amazing! The ancient city thousands of years ago was actually built according to this layout.

Today, the shaman has accurately calculated the planetary conjunction that occurs once every 30 years.

Although the Taino people have not even entered the Bronze Age, their astronomy is ahead of the entire world, and they do have their own merits."

When Byron was amazed.

The effect of this astronomical knowledge in the field of mysticism also emerged.

The Azk people combined their own worldview with that of the old continent and created a trinity of emperors and new kingship.

He will have: the identity of a descendant of gods, the master of people (nobles, priests, civilians, slaves), and the right to communicate with the dead.

They symbolize: ruling the sky, the world, and the underground!

The former emperor Huitzilopochtli has merged with the [Lord of the Skinning].

The current emperor Montezuma II has been recognized by the sky, and naturally became the only son of God, a demigod.

Possessing undisputed control of the [Golden Code], or the royal power of the Taiman people!

A brilliant work of the [Golden Code] connects the [Lord of the Skinning], the chief priest Beatrice and the Azk Emperor Montezuma II.

The voice of the new emperor rang throughout the city:

"The army is my scepter! I will give the nobles and priests the power to manage the city, the army, and the wilderness!"

"I am the spokesperson of God, ruling the world and the underground on behalf of God, and have the power to communicate, comfort the dead, and grant them the afterlife!"

God's will represents the legitimacy of the kingship; military strength is the cornerstone of the kingship; communicating with the ancestors to rule the dead makes the people tame.

The three together constitute the foundation of the Azk kingship.

However, Montezuma II, who holds the strongest power, only stipulates the rights of the king, but does not have the corresponding obligations, or the rights of the civilians.

At the current stage of civilization development, it seems that there is no need for such things.

At this point, the [Lord of Skinning], who merged all the gods, was also redefined by this overbearing royal power.

A new god was formed - the God of Tyranny!

The source tide above the city-state was surging, calling His name everywhere:

"The God of Tyranny!"

Byron witnessed this history that was about to change the entire Bantaan Islands.

[Secret: The Mystery of Blood Sacrifice in the Azk Empire, Historical Influence 27], the deciphering density has increased from 72% after the previous brainstorming with Violet to 95%.

It seems that there is only one last point left to complete.

Just when Montezuma II was about to speak again.

Boom - !!!

With a loud noise that shook the earth, the royal city on the island in the middle of the lake suddenly trembled.

A guard shouted:

"It's bad, the city is broken!"
