    On that side, the future Aztec emperor Cuytlaque was wary of the arrival of the Norman army.  However, at the same time, the Norman army also appeared cautious and very low-key.

    Although Marshal Walter has great confidence in his own army.  But after all, it was a great expedition across the ocean.  Although today's sail warship technology has almost reached its peak and several routes have been figured out.  It would have taken a year or two to make a round trip to the New World.  Now it only takes two or three months to reach the mouth, but this time it still takes more than half a year.

    This is destined to lead Marshal Walter to be a lone army.  He must fight alone in this unfamiliar territory.  Help with supplies and reinforcements was difficult to come by.  And the news couldn't get out.  Even if he is dead, it will take a year or two for Emperor Egil to know his situation

    Under such circumstances, Marshal Walter had to keep a low profile.  During his expedition, he brought 15,000 troops. [Strong waves sank the warship, and hundreds of people fell ill and died.  There are one or two thousand people who are not acclimatized to the environment, suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and lose their fighting ability.  The remaining troops were somewhat depressed after several months of sailing.  Therefore, he did not want to rush into conflict with these indigenous people under such circumstances (in the eyes of Great Norman, whether it is the so-called empire in Central America or the primitive tribes of the northern plains, they are all indigenous people).  ).

    Although the indigenous people are weak.  But the numbers are huge.  If conquered by force alone.  Then even if you calculate that exchanging thirty natives for the life of one Norman soldier, it's not enough.  Marshal Walter quickly figured this out.  And at the same time, he also understood the reason why his master, Emperor Egil, sent him here.

    Among the emperor's four paths.  Marshal Farr's offensive is as fierce as a blazing fire and cannot be eliminated.  Marshal Wen De's marching speed is extremely fast, as swift as the wind and as unpredictable as the wind¡âThe two are the best candidates for attack and invasion.  The biggest characteristic of Marshal Erth is that his defense is as heavy as a mountain, and he has a strong ability to attack cities and strongholds. He also focuses on defense and attack.

    "Compared with the other three marshals, Marshal Walter's greatest characteristic is his affinity and the most popular among the military.  And he knows a lot about people and conducts himself well. As a marshal, he is also very good at it. The officials said: "If you don't want to be a marshal, you can be a diplomat." However, in terms of specific operations, Marshal Walter does not have much characteristics.  .  The attack is not as sharp as Farr, the speed is not as fast as Wind, and the attack is not as strong as Erth.  Everything seems to work, but nothing works.

    But in the end, Egil chose such a difficult task as an expedition to the New World, but still chose Marshal Walter. This was because of Marshal Walter's affinity!  against millions of indigenous people.  Blind killing will never accomplish anything.  We must use the strength of the indigenous people to attack the indigenous people!  It is necessary to unite some of the indigenous people to fight against other parts of the indigenous people.  Differentiation, win-win, and gathering people's hearts are exactly what Marshal Walter is best at!

    "As expected of my lord. So wise. There is no way I can compare to him!" Marshal Walter, who was seasick and dizzy in the stormy waves of the Atlantic Ocean, suddenly felt blessed in his soul when the sea calmed down.  Suddenly he figured out Egil's intention of sending him to the New World.  And the reason why it gave him so much autonomy.

    After Marshal Walter figured this out, he decided early on how to invade the Central American Empire.  First, he used sweet words to deceive the Aztecs.  Then he took his army to the so-called plantations newly developed on the east coast of Central America.

    This so-called plantation has long been under the control of the Normans. They hired locals or purchased slaves as labor force, occupying hundreds of kilometers of fertile land around them to build villages, reclaim land, build docks and  Handicraft workshop.  Even the development of mines and the smelting of iron ore, of course, the smelting technology was in the hands of the Normans and was not spread to the outside world.

    After the Aztec Empire fell into irrigation.

    Norman colonial officials took the opportunity to use the mob as an excuse.  Plantation guards were organized in a grand manner.  And a strong castle was built in the center of the plantation as a defensive fortress, which developed over several years.  The so-called plantation has already become a small city.  Thousands of Normans lived in the city, as well as nearly 20,000 Aztec civilians and slaves.

    The Normans live quite well here.  Originally, they were just some unworthy settlers in the country, mercenary adventurers or small businessmen.  But after coming here, they all became masters.  Manage the indigenous people here.  And relying on the production of the plantation, they have obtained very good economic benefits.  Although this remote town is not as prosperous as a European metropolis.  But most of them don't want to go back.  And decided to live here.

    With the Norman Empire, the city of Havana created in the Caribbean Islands strictly followed the rules of the Norman Empire.Cities built by law are different.  Here, these shabby settlers, robbers and lawless elements are very powerful, although not as powerful as the Norman officialdom.  But it's almost the same.  The empire's regular army here only has one centurion and one centurion.  Many times I have to succumb to these guys and rely on their strength.

    However, all this soon changed with the arrival of Marshal Walter.  He came to the plantation here with the authority granted by the Norman Emperor to "act on behalf of the emperor in Atlantis and serve as the plenipotentiary governor."  Then he was not polite to them at all.  The dove directly occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the entire plantation territory.  And changed this place into a governor-general.  They ate it dry and wiped it all away, not even a drop of soup was left for them.

    ?The people Marshal Walter wants to unite are the local powerful indigenous powerful people.  But it's not these bastards who are not of the same mind as him. For these people, Marshal Walter killed them and exiled them.  Show no mercy.  He took all the tens of thousands of natives on the plantation into his hands as quickly as possible, and then sent friendly invitations to the Aztec towns and villages near the plantation, and he sent various gifts.  Invited those Aztec nobles to his governor's palace.

    After several negotiations, the Aztec nobles were all impressed by Marshal Walter. They had never seen such an optimistic person, such a smart and wise person, and such a charming person before.  And they also liked Marshal Walter's behavior style.  Marshal Walter's army of tens of thousands also made them feel worth relying on.  After that, if something happened to them, they would have to ask Marshal Walter for questioning and judgment.  And the answers and judgments given by Marshal Walter are absolutely convincing.  His prestige in this area soon surpassed that of the Aztec emperor Montezuma II.

    So, the nobles nearby quickly made a decision.  They elected Marshal Walter as their leader and formed an alliance.  All the hundreds of thousands of Aztec people near the plantation were included.  Marshal Walter declared that the alliance was in this chaotic era.  Established for self-protection and not against anyone.

    His slogan of "self-protection" is very consistent with the mood of the Aztecs who long for peace and tranquility in this chaotic era.  As for the Aztecs who came to seek refuge with him, Marshal Walter was quick to talk to them.  The population of his governor's region expanded to three to four hundred thousand.

    Under the leadership of Marshal Walter, these Aztecs opened up land and used the advanced agricultural tools of the Normans to grow food and build fortresses with city walls as defense.  Marshal Walter took the opportunity to impose Norman law on Aztec territory.  And built churches to spread the Catholic Scandinavian faith.  Many Aztecs converted.

    Marshal Walter selected strong young men from the converted Aztecs to form an Aztec army of about 3,000 men.  They were given leather armor and steel swords, and shields and spears were used as weapons, and they were trained strictly according to the standards of the Norman army.  To supplement the Norman army.

    Just like that, it¡¯s September.  Marshal Walter's power has become something that cannot be underestimated.  He successfully occupied one-third of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Central American protrusion closest to Cuba, and nearly 50,000 square kilometers of territory through an alliance.

    Although the territory does not look too big.  But the population controlled by the marshal is enviable and seeks protection.

    Millions of Aztec refugees poured into his territory.  Provided him with sufficient soldiers and labor.  And the doctors brought by the Normans.  We can also do our best to control various infectious diseases.  Marshal Walter then raised the number of Aztec auxiliaries to 20,000 men.

    In this way, the marshal himself has nearly 15,000 Norman troops and 20,000 Aztec affiliated troops. The Aztec nobles allied with him can also mobilize a force of more than 50,000 troops.  In today's chaotic Central America, it is already considered very important.

    Although Cuytlaque of the Aztecs did not like to see such a force appearing in his territory.  But he had to win over them.  But the Mayans adjacent to them are different. The Yucatan Peninsula has always been within the sphere of influence of the ancient Maya country.  They were determined to win this peninsula and naturally they would not allow such a force that did not belong to the Mayans to appear beside them.

    As Marshal Walter's power grew stronger, the Mayans' patience with him became increasingly limited. Finally, the Mayans issued a final message to him: either surrender to the resurgent Mayan Kingdom, or fight with Aziz.  The Turks will perish together (to be continued.
