Chapter 338: Damn this troublemaker, how dare you kill my horse!
Not only Li Yin was anxious, but the soldiers he led were also very anxious.

Although the Tang Dynasty soldiers who came with Li Yin this time were not the same group, he still heard his comrades talk about their good memories in the Mayan tribe.

This is simply intolerable.

Li Yin took the lead, holding a long sword and riding his horse, he rushed towards the tribe. The soldiers following him were like tigers descending from the mountains, with great momentum.

When we arrived at the village, we found that the soldiers in the village were resisting the enemy's attack.

The people who attacked the village were very similar to the villagers, both in appearance and dress.

It seems that they should be other tribes belonging to the Mayan civilization.

Li Yin estimated that there were nearly two thousand people attacking the village, which was a considerable force in this area.

Seeing the defending side losing ground and the BMW he gave to the priest being knocked to the ground by a stone spear, Li Yin was really furious.

"How dare you kill my horse!"

Li Yin turned around and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, follow me to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, fight against the strong and help the weak! Charge!"

"Kill!" The soldiers burst into a terrifying roar.

The invaders were startled by the sudden appearance of new troops on the outskirts of the battlefield. Seeing an unfamiliar army wearing extremely majestic and godly swords and armor was simply beyond their understanding.

Only when the invaders saw the Tang army soldiers approaching them did they think of resisting.

However, their stone spears were unable to cause any effective damage to the Tang army. At most, they would make a loud thud when they hit their bodies, which would only cause pain for a while.

But the invaders did not have the same sophisticated armor as the Tang army. Let alone iron armor, they did not even have leather armor. They were all shirtless, like bodybuilders in a bodybuilding competition.

One side was bones wrapped in flesh, the other side was flesh wrapped in iron. The Mayan invaders encountered the Tang army soldiers, just like the will-o'-the-wisp boy encountered the destined transport truck.

Lucky you, buddy.

After dozens of people were chopped down by the Tang army, the morale of the invaders plummeted to the bottom.

There was nothing they could do as the Tang army was truly beyond their comprehension.

Not only were they strong, but they also possessed sophisticated weapons and equipment that they had never seen before. They had no way of causing any effective damage to the Tang army.

You cut me with a knife, and I remain unharmed; I cut you with a knife, and blood splatters everywhere.

The invaders cried out in fear and scattered like birds and beasts.

Li Yin did not chase after him, but instead pulled the reins and asked Liu Zude to ask the priest.

Stopping the priest's sincere thanks, Liu Zude asked, "Priest, do you know where the other party came from?"

The priest gestured and roughly meant that they came from a large tribe called Kuku, which was about ten miles away.

As for the reason for the invasion, Li Yin finally figured it out after talking for a long time.

Kuku was a large tribe. They were very powerful and had always been asking surrounding tribes to pay tribute.

This time it was because Coco Village (named by Li Yin) refused to pay tribute some time ago, so the other side sent troops to sanction Coco Village.

"Why don't we just go all out?" Li Yan was filled with anger, and said, "Go into Kuku and seize the throne! From now on, I will be..."

The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed, so Li Yin turned his gaze towards the priest.

"Ask him if there is anyone who knows how Kuku left." Li Yin asked Liu Zude to ask.

After the translation, the priest selected a young man from the crowd who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Let him go." The priest said with emotion: "The parents of this boy died at the hands of the Kuku people. He was only one year old at the time and survived the massacre. We all call him the boy who survived the disaster."

"See that lightning-shaped scar on his forehead? That's what the Kuku people left on him." The priest pushed aside the boy's long hair and pointed at the scar to introduce it to Li Yin.

"I will avenge you." Li Yin patted the young man's shoulder.

The young man looked at Li Yin and then at Liu Zude in confusion.

Liu Zude translated it for him, and the boy fell to his knees, kissing the corner of Li Yin's clothes.

"Alright, alright." Li Yin pulled up his robe and said to Liu Zude, "You ride on horseback and lead the way with him. Don't go up during the battle. Wait with him at the back. Come over after we finish fighting."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Liu Zude responded immediately.

Li Yin took his soldiers to have a simple meal in Coco Village, and then told them the truth.

"This is the basic situation." Li Yin paused with the stone spear in his hand: "We must help the weak and punish the strong! We must enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"

"Long live the king!" The soldiers cheered.

Even though they were in a foreign country and not defending their homeland, the morale of the soldiers remained high because they had such an irresistible reason.

This is the compassion that is engraved in the DNA of the Chinese people.

After preparing dry food, Li Yin led his men lightly and prepared to raid Kuku.

He planned to send out scouts to investigate first before making any plans. After all, only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

If you don't know the other party's situation and rush forward rashly, the outcome may not be good.

That night, Li Yin brought his men to Kuku City.

It is called a city, but in fact it is just a larger tribe. Even the city walls are not made of stone, but of wood.

After sending people to observe carefully, Li Yin thought that the Kuku City was not worth mentioning.

They made a detailed battle plan and prepared to launch a surprise attack on Kuku City in the second half of the night.

At midnight that day, the Mayans felt the mysterious power coming from the ancient Eastern country.

They had never seen anything like this before. It would have been fine if it was a night raid, but it had to be done in the late night, in the early morning when the guards were the most slack.

Even the Tang army used armor and gags.

As the saying goes, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Li Yin thinks that arrogance is not desirable and he should still respect his opponent appropriately.

Li Yin led 500 cavalrymen and followed the route indicated by the boy who survived the disaster, and fought his way from the city gate to the location of the city lord.

The city lord is sleeping soundly.

He was still a little slow to react when he heard the shouting and screaming outside.

By the time he opened his eyes, the Tang army had already arrived in front of him.

With just one blow, Dahao's head was chopped off.

Kuku City did not put up any effective resistance at all. In the era of cold weapons, entering the city meant the battle was over, not to mention the Neolithic Age that the Maya lived in. Of course, in the era of hot weapons, Paris did not need to be entered to end the battle directly, after all, no one could occupy Paris before the surrender of the Wai Kingdom.

The citizens were frightened all night, thinking that they would encounter the same tragedy as other tribes were attacked and that the invaders would rob them. However, they did not expect that the night would be peaceful, except that the screams stopped after a while.

Most people stayed at home and didn't dare to go out, but there were some brave ones who wanted to go out and see what was going on.

What greeted them was, of course, a sharp knife.

This is not the Tang Dynasty. We are unfamiliar with the place and cannot speak the language. Being kind to the enemy would be cruel to ourselves.

If you stay at home, you can be considered a civilian, but if you go out and hang around, it is wrong for you.

The next morning, the residents found that the entire Kuku City had changed.

A large banner with unknown symbols embroidered on it was raised on the top of the city wall, rustling in the wind.

The city lord's head was hung in front of the wooden house where he lived, and accompanying him was the high priest of Kuku City.

Li Yin ordered people to gather all the citizens in the city to gather in front of the city lord's mansion.

In fact, there are not many people in Kuku City. In total, there are less than 30,000 people, most of whom are women and children.

Li Yin asked Liu Zude to convey the news to the boy who survived the disaster and let him and the citizens of Kuku City announce the change of ruler.

Citizens are open-minded about the change of rulers.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who is the ruler, as long as it doesn't affect their lives.

"Your Majesty, you must give yourself a title." Liu Zude said flatteringly.

According to the general understanding of people, this means to persuade someone to take the position.

After all, this place is far away and the emperor is far away. Even if they have rebellious intentions, the Tang Dynasty cannot do anything to them.

But Liu Zude and Li Yin are both the kind of people who have a screw loose in their brains. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. When one of them was speaking, he didn't think in this way, and when the other one was listening, he didn't think in that way either.

Li Yin actually nodded in agreement and said to Liu Zude: "Then what do you think is better? Isn't the title of King of Shu domineering enough?"

"You are not domineering enough." Liu Zude said seriously, "You are in Yindi Anzhou now. It is not appropriate to call you the King of Shu. After all, you look at this place... You don't look like a Shu person, right?"

"Anyway, I can't understand what they are saying." Li Yin spread his hands.

Liu Zude: ...

"Then according to your opinion, what should I be called?" Li Yin stretched out his hand and stroked his chin: "Isn't the title of king enough for me?"

"Then you are still the king." Liu Zude said with a smile: "I found a title called 'King of Kings' in the Mayan language. It is very impressive and suitable for a man like the king!"

"King of kings?" Li Yin's body trembled when he heard it.

This title is great!

He was neither an emperor nor an offender to his elder brother, yet he distinguished himself from other kings.

Yes, just do it!

"Okay! From now on, I am the king of kings!" Li Yin's self-proclaimed name also changed: "You will translate like this in the future, and never bring shame to my name when you are outside - although this is a self-proclaimed title, when you go out, you must not bring shame to the power of the Tang Dynasty."

"Indeed." Liu Zude replied with a flattering smile.

"Then the question arises." Li Yin suddenly said, "Now that Kuku City has been conquered, what should we do with it?"

"This will be your fiefdom from now on." Liu Zude thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, why not write it down first and set up the Yindi Grand Commandery here, and you will temporarily take over as the Grand Commander of Yindi An..."

"Okay, let's do it!" Li Yin nodded and said, "Wait for me to write a letter and send it to Chang'an, and ask for instructions from Aye!"

"This..." Liu Zude wiped his sweat quickly: "This is not necessary. Chang'an and Yindian are too far apart. It takes a year to go back and forth. How about we wait until the king returns to the court to report?"

"That's fine." Li Yin nodded, "That's the only way..."

While talking, Li Yin suddenly said: "Speaking of which, if the brothers on those two ships hadn't been lost in the storm..."

"Your Majesty, good fortune will come to those who are lucky." Liu Zude himself did not believe what he said, but he could only comfort him in this way: "I believe that the brothers will have good luck. Although they are separated, I don't think they will disappear just like that."

He was not wrong. The two ships were unlucky in that they encountered the storm but did not sink. They were also lucky... they reached the shore again.

The captains of the two ships were Yang Ping and Wei Fangyuan, who were scratching their heads as they looked at the bared animals in front of them.

"How...how can this rat grow so big?" Wei Fangyuan asked uncertainly, "How come it's still standing on two legs?"

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things." Yang Ping laughed dryly and said, "Just now, my brothers and I worked hard and finally wiped out the alligator dragon. Why are the rats we encounter so huge now?"

Wei Fangyuan spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand.

Li Yin naturally had no idea what had happened to these two people.

He sent someone to bring the surviving boy, now called Li Li, back to Cocoa Village to report the victory to the priest.

Then he took his men to Kuku City to study what to do next.

What surprised Li Yin and others was that there was a map stored in Kuku City.

The good news is that it depicts almost all the forces within a radius of several hundred miles.

The bad news is that there is said to be a city called Dos Pilas, which is the royal capital of the Maya, with a population of hundreds of thousands and a scale comparable to Luoyang.

Li Yin fell into deep thought, wondering what he should do next, should he do some good business before leaving, or stay here, take down the city of Dos Pilas, and unify the world.

Li Yin felt a little confused by so many city-states.

In today's Mayan civilization, a city is an independent state.

Even someone as uneducated as Li Yin wants to speak in the classic Shaanxi dialect.

Let’s unify!
"What do you think?" Li Yin asked the others.

After he established the Yindian Grand Military Governor's Office, he temporarily granted official positions to everyone. Liu Zude was elected as the acting chief of the Yindian Grand Military Governor's Office as he was indeed outstanding and irreplaceable.

After all, this language genius... I don’t believe you have the ability to quickly understand other people’s languages.

"I think..." Zhang Hanchen suddenly said, "Since Liu Changshi learned from the Mayans that a Mayan city is now an independent state, why don't we follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, form alliances, defeat them one by one, and finally merge them into the Grand Commandery?"

You see, this is the art of speaking.

Although Liu Zude is now the Acting Chief Secretary, if you call him Acting Chief Secretary directly, it would show your low emotional intelligence.

If the leader is petty, you might get into trouble.

For example, if you call a deputy director with the surname Liu, you can't call him Deputy Director Liu, right? It must be Director Liu!
