Chapter 447 Four Priorities

Following the man's words, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and even the breeze seemed to have stopped.

Shulot stood there and watched quietly. Although I haven't seen him for many years, my old friend's appearance has not changed at all, as if he were carved from stone and wood. He just paused for a few breaths before a smile appeared on his face and he bowed his head in return.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Greetings to you, the respected snakeess of the Alliance, the chief advisor of the royal family! May you fly high with the king like the wings of an eagle and govern the world!"

"God bless you!"

Gillim stood up slowly and bowed again. Then, he stepped forward, holding a distant citation in his hand and expressing sincere praise.

"Your Highness, it is such a joy to meet you again after several years. You are the eagle of the west and the long snake of Mikancho. You rule the Lake Kingdom of the Alliance with your divinely inspired bravery and wisdom! "

"In just a few years, the Kingdom in the Lake was established in the west and became increasingly prosperous. It centralized power and reformed the system, implemented county governance, established households, established military merits, promoted industry and commerce, divine creation, conquered the north and south, and changed and enfeoffed everything you have done. Every time I hear about your achievements, I am filled with admiration and admiration!”

Having said this, Gillim fell to the ground again and paid homage.

"God has given His Highness the enlightenment. It is truly a blessing for the Mexica people! Please let me pray for you. As a Mexican, may your divine enlightenment be immortal! God has given His Highness, praise the Lord God!"

"Dear Chief Advisor"

Shulot quickly stepped forward to lift Gillim up. However, the chief intelligence officer resolutely fell to the ground and solemnly performed a complete etiquette. Then, he raised his head and looked at Shulot calmly, with only sincerity and approval from the bottom of his heart in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shusoke, who had been sitting upright, raised his eyebrows. He sighed softly, stood up to persuade him, and also took action to support the chief intelligence officer.

After the father and son persuaded each other, Gillim slowly stood up. He adjusted his clothes slightly, with the smile still on his face. The three of them greeted each other and then formally took their seats. Shulot and Gillim faced each other, Shusok still sat with his head tilted.

After the greetings, Shulot pondered for a while and asked calmly.

"Dear Chief Advisor, you are involved in alliance politics and have always been quite busy. I asked my father to invite me to come this time. I don't know why?"

Gilliam put away his smile and became serious. He answered respectfully.

"Your Highness, I am here this time because I have been entrusted by the king with four important tasks. The first important task is to report to you: the rebellion of the nobles in Tlacopan has been put down, and 20,000 rebels will be exiled to the lake. In the Middle Kingdom, everything in the capital has returned to normal. The royal elder, Kakamazin, discussed with the king yesterday to set an auspicious date for your wedding to Princess Alyssa in ten days!"

"Ten days from now?!"

Hearing this, Shulot's face was startled, and uncontrollable joy surged into his heart. In his mind, a slender figure in white clothes, a beautiful and pure face, and a pair of tender eyes appeared in his mind.

"Alyssa, my love. In ten days, it's our wedding!"

When he heard that his son's wedding date had been set, Shusok was smiling and overjoyed. He patted the small table and smiled happily.

"Okay, great! Haha, respected lady snake, it turns out that you can also tell good news from your mouth!"

"Haha! Captain Shusok, facing the heroes of the alliance, I am naturally a bird announcing good news."

Gilliam's smile remained unchanged. In recent years, the central government has repeatedly launched large prisons in order to reform and centralize power. No one knows how many alliance nobles died in his hands. And his reputation among the nobles is probably as chilling as a black-headed vulture calling for death.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed. The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, talked about some wedding arrangements, and praised the royal elder Kakamazin. Then, Gillim looked at the expressions of the two people and spoke in a deep voice.

"Dear Your Highness Shulot, the second important thing for the respected Commander Shusock to come here this time is to discuss the preparations for the Eastern Expedition! After His Highness's wedding, preparations for the mobilization of the Eastern Expedition will begin. Terra Relying on the eastern mountains, the Skala people built many dangerous mountain fortresses and stationed many skilled archers. In this Eastern Expedition, the biggest challenge for the Alliance is not to fight in the wild, but to besiege the fortresses."

Hearing this, Shulot nodded slightly. The Alliance has conquered the Tlaxcala Alliance several times, but was blocked by layers of solid fortresses. The people of Tlaxcala have Miscuatl, the god of hunting, as their main god. Both warriors and militiamen practice bows and arrows and are very good at defense. The steep fortresses in the mountains and the huge number of archers are the biggest obstacles to the Eastern Expedition!

"Your Highness, among your tribute gifts to the kingdom, there are 36 Rain God Tiger Squatting Cannons and 4 Sun Condor Cannons. These bronze cannons are extremely powerful and possess the power given by the gods! The Sun Condor Cannon can fire from hundreds of steps away. The cannon can destroy wood and stone, and is a powerful weapon for attacking cities and defeating enemies! However, after studying the condor cannon, the craftsmen of the craftsman camp found that it is extremely difficult to make."

Gillim changed his words and his expression became solemn. He suddenly knelt down and saluted, his expression becoming more sincere. "Your Highness, for the sake of the success of the Alliance's Eastern Expedition, and in order to reduce the casualties of warriors, please send the bronze masters from the Lake Kingdom to guide the Alliance in the cannon-casting technology of Shenqi! As for the cannons and food needed by the Kingdom, the Alliance All can be fully supported.”

After Gillim finished speaking, he prostrated himself respectfully on the ground and remained motionless. A pin drop could be heard in the main hall. Shulot looked at his father, both of them frowned.

"The Alliance asks for the cannon-making technology to attack the fortress."

Shulot pursed his lips and remained silent. The general intelligence officer made such a request, obviously having sufficient knowledge of the power of the bronze cannon.

With the current technical level, it is very difficult to cast bronze cannons. Although the kingdom accepted the bronze craftsmen of Tarasco and mastered many casting inheritances, it can only barely select the usable Condor Cannons through the clumsy method of large-scale casting, not to mention the alliance that lacks inheritance.

When he presented the bronze cannon, he was prepared to be asked for technology, but the request came so quickly that it was still far beyond his expectations.

"It seems that the alliance respects force and is very sensitive to military innovation."

Xiuluot pondered for a long time and made a decision. Avit is determined to conquer the world, and he is naturally determined to obtain the siege artillery technology. It is not difficult to refuse the chief intelligence officer, but it is very difficult to refuse King Avit behind him, especially at such a sensitive time, when he is in the capital preparing for the wedding.

After thinking for a moment, Xiuluot lowered his eyes and answered in a deep voice.

"Respected Lady Snake, since you are in charge of the alliance intelligence, you must know a lot about the Lake Kingdom. In addition to the cannon casting technology, there are probably other requirements, right? Why not tell us all at once so that the kingdom can prepare in advance."

"Your Highness, I will see."

Gilliam smiled slightly, and heard the promise in Shulot's words. He nodded solemnly and replied respectfully.

"Your Highness, the third priority is to learn new shipbuilding technology from the Lake Kingdom in order to successfully conquer the Tlaxcala people and to conquer the Totonac and Mixtec people in the future. Build crocodile god galleys, strengthen the alliance navy, and gain an advantage on the north and south rivers. Respected Highness, please send the shipbuilding master of Purpecha to guide the alliance's shipbuilders!"

"Ask for the shipbuilding technology that will determine the future."

Hearing this, Shulot's eyes moved. He looked at Gillim carefully and was surprised by the other party's keen sense of smell. He thought for a while, and gradually had a plan in his mind.

The alliance has a lot of dried wood in storage, and there are an astonishing number of people and craftsmen, and the potential shipbuilding capacity is very strong. Strengthening the overall strength of the alliance navy and cultivating skilled shipbuilding craftsmen will benefit the world. After all, the Western colonists are coming.

"Dear Lady Snake, does the king have any other requests?"

Gilliam looked carefully, but he could not see any dissatisfaction from Shulotte. He was a little surprised and paused for a while before speaking again.

"The last priority is the king's important entrustment. Princess Alyssa is the king's eldest daughter, with a respected status and noble identity. She is also the most cherished flower of the royal family. The alliance will set aside 500 hectares of Chinampa fiefdom, 10,000 direct fiefdoms, and 500 family warriors as the eldest princess's fiefdom."

Gilliam knelt down again and paid homage. Although he felt painful in his heart, he still had to follow the king's instructions.

"The king entrusted that in addition to land, population and warriors, the eldest princess also needs financial support. Please hand over the kingdom's gem trade to the eldest princess after the marriage!"

".Hand over the gem trade to Alyssa?"

Hearing this, Shulotte was stunned. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Xiusoke frowned. He looked at his son, wanted to say something, but forced himself to hold it back and sighed softly.

"Alas"

"Good! Your Highness is so generous!"

Gilliam finished his greetings and smiled sincerely.

"In that case, I will report to the king"

"Wait!"

Xuluot's expression changed and he spoke solemnly.

"Alyssa is my wife and the woman I love most. It is reasonable to give the gem trade to her. Similarly, I can also give the artillery and shipbuilding technology to the alliance, but I need to exchange it for a city!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Gillim's smile silently disappeared. He looked a little cold and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the lake country is a vassal of the alliance and should obey the royal order of the royal center! The Texcoco Lake area is directly under the alliance, and the other states also have their own. I wonder which city your Highness wants?"

"Respected Lady Snake, please rest assured. That city is not in the alliance, nor is it the fief of any great noble."

Xuluot smiled faintly, took out a simple world map from his arms, and unfolded it in front of the two. Then, he moved his finger and tapped heavily on the east of the map, and said loudly in the surprised eyes of the two.

"The city I want is here!"
