Chapter 91 - Preparing the conquest plans

Yatzil was surprised when he got out of the carriage and saw two large dogs with 3 heads running towards her, Yatzil closed his eyes waiting for the attack to occur but to his surprise, he felt different tongues licking his hands.

When she opened her eyes he realized that the two dogs with two heads were trying to play with them, observing with more attention he realized that one of the dogs was a Xoloescuincle and the other was a Techichi (Chihuahua), although he was It was strange to see that the two little dogs had 3 heads. she calmed down when she saw that they were very friendly.

While she was caressing them Yuma ran out of the Palace he was worried that Corocotta and Coconut have been to receive Princess Yatzil, since their mother brought the two Cerberus sometimes the two dogs go out to receive the guests, they are usually kind and meek, but certain situations have occurred where the two devour visitors.

When Yuma asks Hellena or Flavio why the two puppies eat people, they just give a smile and say "The Cerberus know who comes with good intentions and who seeks to harm, good people, do not have to be afraid while the bad ones serve as food for corocotta and coconut.

Remember that it is not polite to see them while they eat, while that happens it is better that you remain at home until the Praetorians clean the place, is Yuma clear? "

Yuma does not care much that her two pets eat people but it always bothers her that after they have eaten she has to wash them together with Erendida to be clean again without bloodstains.

Seeing that Yatzil his possible new wife according to his father was very cheerful petting his pets, you can be sure that they will have fun playing in their spare time because he has to attend the Toltecayotl class together with his sister with the teacher Quetzalcoatl.

Yatzil could see a boy with silver hair and sun-colored eyes approaching her, she could intuit that maybe he would be her future husband but she couldn’t be sure until she checked her identity.

When Yuma arrived in front of the girl with brown skin, brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, she presented herself "Good beautiful lady, I am Yuma the son of Emperor Flavio, I hope we can be friends"

Yatzil stopped stroking the two Cerberus and also introduced "I am Yatzil daughter of the queen of Lakam Ha, I hope you can take care of me, my mother told me to be my future husband"

Yuma was surprised by Yatzil’s words ...

While the two children were talking to each other Flavio was preparing the invasion of Calakmul, he needed to attack quickly and prevent the Mayas of that city from escaping and carrying out Guerrilla tasks that hinder their hunting because they would be lost in the immense jungle.

The one in charge of such an important mission would be Amancio who is the most trusted tribune that Flavio has and who is not busy with other things.

Looking at the map on the table Amancio was preparing a strategy to conquer the city of Calakmul, of all the Mayan cities that exist only 4 refuse to trade with Rome.

This is a problem because their positions are strategic to consolidate power within the great jungle, although they are called cities the reality is that their population is limited to less than 10,000 people, therefore in Roman standards that would be just A big town

"You have thought of something to end those Mayan cities without making a war that lasts a long time, Amancio recalls that the northern migrations are approaching and the Gamma Canibalium legion needs to occupy its positions in the deep defense of the isthmus"

Flavio said while smoking a tobacco pipe

Amancio looked at the emperor with some nervousness but quickly calmed his state to explain his plan "Emperor I intend to occupy the cavalry of Equorum Insulae, to create a hunting area with which any possible Maya who wants to leave will be eliminated.

Controlled to the issue of guerrillas the main attack will be done simultaneously in the 4 cities Calakmul, Tikal, Aguateca and Nakbe.

Thanks to the fact that they have not had trade with the empire, their weapons are still obsolete against our armor, so the conquest will be quick, for this, I plan to divide the legion into 3 and arm the first line of attack with heavy full-body armor.

After the first line of attack, conventional soldiers will enter to help the troops with heavy armor, while musketeers and crossbowmen will be in charge of covering our troops with any possible enemy that represents a threat to us.

When we have finished with the soldiers the captured population will be censored and sent to the construction of the deep defense, once they finish they will be able to enter society as citizens of Rome or in case they refuse they will be sent as slaves for life. "

Flavio looked at Amancio for some time, the plan was not very complicated and could ensure a safe conquest, which eliminates the last obstacles in the area that is considered part of the Roman Pax.

"Very well the conquest begins and remember to be fast as long as we finish these threats the easier we will finish the construction of the deep defense.

We have to be efficient because other issues concern us one more as it is to improve our roads and greenhouses to plant plants, the cold is very destructive with any crop if we do not take measures we can face famines. "

Amancio knew that he had to be fast, therefore after hearing for some time more the words of Flavio said goodbye to go to the headquarters of the third legion, to begin with, the preparations for the conquest of Calakmul, Tikal, Aguateca and Nakbe.

When he left the room he met little Yuma who held Yatziel the princess of Lakam Ha, it seems that he wants to see his father but for Amancio it is better not to know much of the imperial family for his safety, for therefore he only greeted the two little children and withdrew on his way to his legion ...
