I was a priest in the city-state era

The female leader and priest of the Juarez tribe was able to gather the Maya tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula to form a large-scale coalition to attack the Athenians - this was of course a good thing that Roy could only dream of.

After all, Athenian soldiers were not only well-trained professional soldiers, but also equipped with advanced iron weapons and iron armor.

The Mayans in the Neolithic Age could only recruit farmers and herdsmen as soldiers and let them fight with stone and wooden spears.

The strength gap between the two sides is like a huge chasm, and the Athenian soldiers are a complete blow to the Mayan soldiers.

Even if the Mayan soldiers have ten or even twenty times the numerical advantage——

It is also impossible to resist the dimensionality reduction attack of the Athenian soldiers.

Unfortunately, reality will eventually disappoint Roy.

Roy waited for a month, but failed to wait for the Mayan army of 100,000.

With the efforts of the female leader and priest of the Juarez tribe, only the Uxmal tribe in the northern Yucatan Peninsula finally summoned the Mayan tribes in the northern region and organized a 30,000-strong Mayan army to attack the Athenians.

This also means that Roy's good wish to defeat all the Mayan tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula in a war is completely shattered.

To conquer the Mayan tribes in the Yucatan Peninsula, Roy must waste a lot of time defeating them one by one.

1596 BC.

July.

The Mayan coalition led by the Uxmal tribe came to Puerto Juarez.

Accompanying them was Chalchutriqui, the water god, the patron saint of the Uxmal tribe.

The current water god Chalchutriqui is still a trinity goddess with the Quetzalcoatl god Iecotel.

She can be seen directly as Quetzalcoatl, or as the sister of Quetzalcoatl.

During this time, the Athenians had built a wall in Port Juarez to protect the port, but Roy did not choose to use the wall to defend the city.

Before the Mayan coalition could launch an attack, Roy led three thousand Athenian soldiers to attack the Mayan coalition outside the city.

There is no doubt about the outcome of this war.

Even if the Mayan coalition had a tenfold numerical advantage, it would never be able to defeat the dimensionality reduction attack of the Athenian soldiers.

On the grassland west of Puerto Juarez.

While the Athenian army was fighting with the Mayan coalition, Metis, the patron saint of the Athenians, and Chalchutricuis, the patron saint of the Mayans, also faced off.

"Quetzalcoatl Eecotel, we meet again!"

Looking at the water god Chalchutricui who dared to fight him, Metis sneered and teased.

"I didn't expect you to dare to appear in front of me. It seems that I didn't teach you enough last time."

"Although I am also Quetzalcoatl, but I am not Eekotel."

Chalchutricui explained with a solemn expression.

"I am Chalchutriqui, the water god's clone of Quetzalcoatl. I am not the same goddess as the Quetzalcoatl god Iecotel you met before."

"Then I will tell you once, if you don't want to suffer, just surrender to me."

After saying that, Metis brandished the black magic gun and attacked.

Just like the Mayan coalition collapsed in front of the Athenian soldiers, in the battle between the goddesses between Metis and Chalcutriches, Metis suppressed Chalcutriches from the beginning.

After the Mayan coalition completely collapsed and fled, Chalchutrikui also fled from Metis in embarrassment - just like the Quetzalcoatl God Iekotel who was defeated by Metis before.

After defeating the Mayan coalition, Roy began to conquer various Mayan tribes in the northern Yucatan Peninsula.

Before being defeated by the Athenian army, the Mayan leaders and nobles had the confidence to fight against the Athenians with force.

After being defeated by the Athenian army, the Mayan leaders and nobles lost the means to fight the Athenians with force and were forced to surrender to the Athenian Empire.

Because they chose to surrender, they were able to save their own lives and the lives of their families.

If they choose to fight against the Athenian Empire to the end, they will lose everything including their lives.

The northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula became the territory of the Athenian Empire. The Mayan tribes and villages in the northern area, and the leading nobles all lost their current power and wealth. This fact finally awakened the leading nobles in the central and southern Yucatan Peninsula. Let them realize that only by uniting - even if they united, they would not be able to defeat the Athenian Empire.

Most importantly, they simply can't hold it together.

Although the Mayan tribes in the southern Yucatan Peninsula could also form a coalition under the convocation of the Palenque tribe, the Olmecs who worshiped Tezcatlipoca lived in the Mexican region to their north.

The Mayans and the Olmecs have a feud that lasts for hundreds of years, so the Mayan coalition forces in the southern Yucatan Peninsula must always be prepared for Olmec attacks.

Even if they are now aware of the threat posed by the Athenians, it is impossible for the Mayan tribes in the central Yucatan Peninsula and the Mayan tribes in the south to form a coalition to fight against the Athenian Empire.

So when the northern region had been conquered by the Athenian Empire and the southern region was unable to provide help, the most powerful Chicana tribe in the central Yucatan Peninsula took the initiative to send envoys to express surrender to Loy.

Temporary palace in Puerto Juarez.

Roy personally received an emissary from the Chicana tribe.

The Messenger of the Chicana Tribe, the daughter of the Chicana Tribe chief and a priestess of Tlaloc, the rain god.

Being both a tribal princess and a priestess is enough to prove the sincerity of the Chicana tribe's active surrender.

"Do you, the Chicana tribe, really want to surrender?"

Roy asked with some suspicion.

"Even if your family surrenders voluntarily, you will lose your current power and wealth."

The princess priest nodded with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! Not all leaders are selfish and sacrifice the lives of their people in order to preserve their power and wealth. In order to prevent our people from unnecessary sacrifices, our family is willing to give up the power to rule the Chicana tribe and Wealth will also call upon our vassal tribes to do the same."

Some tribal leaders are selfish. Even if they know that they cannot fight against the Athenian Empire, even if they know that the Athenian Empire will make their people live a better life, they still sacrifice their people for personal and family selfish interests.

It is normal for some tribal leaders to be selfless and surrender voluntarily when they cannot defeat the Athenian Empire - and the Athenian Empire can make their tribesmen live a better life.

It could be seen that the princess priest was not lying, Roy said with satisfaction.

"Since your family has such a good consciousness, I will certainly not treat you badly. I will arrange for your family to become first-class citizens of the Athens Empire, so that you can continue to enjoy a life of food and clothing without worries. If your vassal tribes are willing to surrender, these The leader of the tribe will also become a third-class citizen or a fourth-class citizen depending on the situation.”

Her family surrendered voluntarily, but was deprived of all rights - the princess priest had an expression of obvious disappointment on her face.

Then she said with a shy blush.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! I am not only a messenger to negotiate with you, but also a gift to you."

Roy certainly understood the meaning behind sending a young and beautiful princess to the enemy's leader.

"Princess Chicana! I don't need you to be a gift because I already have a wife and my wife is pregnant. I don't want to betray my wife and hurt my wife and children at the same time."
