The city of Tula is almost gone, and it is probably located fifty or sixty kilometers north of Mexico City. There were pyramids, temples, and altars, but the whole city was in ruins.

Now, the Chichimecas have been driven away by a northern people, claiming to be Aztecs, from a northern part of the country called Aztlan. These Aztecs claimed that their ancestors were one and the Toltecs, the Chichimeca, the Olmecs.

This theory is dominant in Mesoamerican history, and it is said that the Olmecs also chose the Anahuac Valley as their capital during their heyday, and founded Teotihuacan, an ancient city of tens of thousands of people. In order to rule the land in the north, the Olmecs sent several tribes to station, and when the ancient city of Teotihuacan suddenly declined for some reason, after hundreds of years, the tribes stationed in the north ran back to recognize their ancestors.

If Ouyang Qing could come, he would definitely be able to memorize the history of the Indians, and even understand the things of their ancestors better than the locals. This is called doing a line of love, in order to use the Sun God Sect to fool the locals in Belize, Ouyang Qing made a lot of efforts. The national libraries of New York and Mexico were almost trampled by him, and as long as there were ancient Indian ruins, he had to visit them, and when he came back, he began to make up stories with Hong Tao.

The origin of the Helios Cult is that he has been compiled with the historical myths of the Indians, not a person who specializes in Mesoamerican culture, even if you study world history, you can still make him dizzy. Because many of the things in it are historical data, you can't believe it.

The knowledge about the ancient Indians in Hong Tao's mind was all from Ouyang Qing's research report. Although he was in charge of the shopkeeper at that time, he had to take a general look at some nonsense, so as not to talk in front of reporters and the media, at least it had to be similar to the source content of the Divine Cult spread by Ouyang Qing.

Now he is going to personally go to the field to investigate whether the things that Ouyang Qing has researched back are real, if this is the case, then he is afraid that he will have to consider whether to go to the Anavac Valley and occupy the two cities of Tula and Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan, in particular, the holy city of the Toltecs, Aztecs, and Chichimecas occupies a pivotal place in their religion, just as the Old City of Jerusalem is to Judaism, Christianity, and ****** religion.

If you want to completely rule the Indians here, and don't want to kill them all, occupy their holy land, and then use the Helios Cult to assimilate them. Anyway, the sun god was originally their belief, and then there were extensions of jaguars, feathered serpents, eagles and the like. From this point of view, the Helios Cult is not an invasion of foreign religions, but the foundation of their beliefs, and it should be regarded as authentic. Their own aggression will give them another justifiable excuse, the dispute over religious orthodoxy, which will turn foreign aggression into an internal contradiction among the people, and the resistance will be much smaller.

Whether or not you want to go around the Anahuac Valley, Saba is a strategic place that must be taken, but there is another enemy that will be difficult to deal with before taking Saba: the muddy roads of the rainforest, the ubiquitous mosquitoes, and the humidity of the conservatory. Even with horses, the Sun Legion can travel at a speed of less than ten kilometers a day, which is still on the road that has been carved out. After two days, the road was gone, and everyone had to dismount, and several people took turns in groups, using machetes to open the road in the rainforest, and they couldn't walk even five kilometers a day.

"Send someone back the way you came from, inform your Uncle Luo, and ask him to send people to come and cut this road for me, and cut it according to our horseshoe prints, and when I come back, I don't want to suffer this crime again." Compared to when he set off, Hong Tao no longer had the time to listen to the accordion, and his clothes were soaked, but he couldn't take them off, and you had to be on guard against poisonous insects and poisonous snakes that could fall on you and bite you at any time. As for those mosquitoes, it doesn't matter anymore, Hong Tao's neck can't turn his head anymore, and it's all swollen.

"It's going to grow even longer, and in less than two years, it's a forest again." Swann felt that Hong Tao didn't know much about the rainforest, and he wanted to teach his teacher a lesson.

"Sprinkle oil refining waste and burn it for me! I don't believe that the plants here are all invincible to Nima, not to mention trees, not even grass is allowed to grow! Swan's explanation was directly regarded as a fart by Hong Tao, and no matter how tenacious the rainforest is, it cannot withstand the destruction of humans. If you want the rainforest to disappear, there are many tricks, and after the chemical plant is established, you can't let Nima grow a tree anywhere, and Swann has never seen the power of these chemical wastes.

"This is our own territory, you can't use it as a ruin of Jawa Island...... "Swan has really seen it, there is still a lot of scorched earth on Java Island, and there is really no grass, which was done by Hong Tao more than ten years ago.

"If you want to build, you have to destroy first! To build a house, you have to cut down trees and dig foundations, so why don't you build a house on the ground in the woods? Stop talking nonsense, send someone back and bring my original words. Holy...... Such a big ant, come, play with it. Hong Tao didn't regard this land as his own at all, this was just a base for advancement, and he was very uncomfortable with the tropical climate, so it was more comfortable to live in the north. As he spoke, he took another bite on his neck, reached out and touched it, pinched an ant the size of a cricket, and threw it directly into Swan's collar.

In less than a hundred kilometers, in order to bypass a few swamps along the way, I had to walk more than 30 kilometers, and it took eleven days to get out of the plain rainforest area, and finally saw the mountains faintly in the western sky.

"I won't leave today, camp in place, rest for a day, and start climbing the mountain early the day after tomorrow." The climate is already gentle on the slopes of the mountains, and the climate is completely different from that in the rainforest, with more sun, less humidity, stronger winds, and temperatures several degrees lower.

Suddenly changing from one environment to another, some people get sick. Although the Indians had adapted to the climate, Hong Tao decided to put safety first when he moved from the plains to the mountains, and there was a relatively flat place to camp, and there was a small river nearby.

"Your Majesty, do you need to send a few people to the front to investigate?" Swann was an expert at marching and combating, and had no objection to Hongtao's order to encamp.

"You are the commander of the army, I only command you, how to arrange for you to do it yourself." Hong Tao had already dismounted and was moving his legs and feet in place. Horseback riding is not a comfortable way to travel, and your waist and hips will ache after a long time, of course, it is much better than walking.

Having received the order to set up camp, the sappers began to assemble the keels of the marching tents with sticks and steel pipes, and soon a dozen marching tents were erected. These tents are made of canvas smeared with the sap of rubber trees, and they have a black appearance and smell. However, it is lighter than a whale skin tent, and it is more waterproof, and it is easy to dry even when it gets wet, which is a major specialty here.

In addition to not having to fight, the sappers also had to dig drainage ditches and toilets after setting up their tents, and then sprinkle bleach powder around the tents to repel insects. When the soldiers were resting in their tents, they had to light fires and boil water, and prepare meals, not only for men, but also for horses.

If it is during the march, it is not allowed to make a fire to cook, and can only eat its own biscuits, dried meat and cooked water. But after camping, you can have a little luxury, get some corn and bean porridge, put the jerky in it and cook it, it is better than dry nibbling. If there is fruit nearby, you can also chop it up and eat it together, anyway, the Indians eat it very well.

Hong Tao is still boiled water to soak biscuits, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a very simple, good officer who does not fight for food and drink, in fact, he does not like to eat cornmeal, especially this kind of cornmeal that is very coarsely ground, and there is no oil and water, and he is angry.

"Why don't I go bake a guinea pig or a bird or something for you, there's no seafood here, you can make do for a few days." Swann was carrying a copper lunch box, and it was quite fragrant to eat the pig-feed stuff inside. After eating, he wiped his mouth and saw that Hong Tao was frowning and stuffing cookies into his mouth, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Forget it, this is a mountainous area, there is an echo, and you can hear it from miles away when you shoot it. I'm not that squeamish, I'm hungry and eat everything, but now I'm not hungry. You see, I haven't moved much in the past few years, my stomach is out, and my waist is full of meat. Hong Tao really wanted to eat roasted game, but he couldn't do it at this time, because he was afraid that the enemy would hear about it, but mainly because he was afraid of causing discontent in the army. Who doesn't know that the game is delicious, this time I beat it, will other officers have to fight it next time? No matter how Swann led the army, he couldn't help him much, at least not bother.

"Compared to Uncle Luo, you are like a twenty-year-old young man." Swann rarely spoke once, but he was telling the truth. Luo Youde has been getting fatter and fatter every year, and some people can grow meat even if they eat cornmeal, which is really poor.

"You don't have to deliberately slap my ass, let alone say bad things about your Uncle Luo behind your back, I don't eat this. Say, what's the matter with you? Hong Tao didn't believe that this was Swan's heart, although this kid was upright, but he was stupid and treacherous, and when he wanted to be tempted, he also had his own set of methods.

"I said you shouldn't be angry, and you shouldn't retaliate against me!" Swann was really in trouble.

"I swear, no matter what you say, I don't hear you." Hong Tao casually raised a hand and pressed it to his chest, and made an oath in the manner of Swan.
