Nova Roma-Chapter 95 - Secret under the Mayan pyramids

In Origin Civitatem Flavio was talking about the Aguateca destiny with the king of the city, for Flavio any nation of Mesoamerica Anahuac is part of the de facto Nova Roma, therefore he wants to avoid as much as possible wars with them because in the future they will be part of the empire.

But the need for labor is also very important, in spite of being Mayan "cities" its population removing children and pregnant women will be placed to help the construction of the deep defense, where small fortresses and trenches are included.

Unlike the cursed jungle, no enemy hinders the construction and there is enough time to finish the project, therefore there will be no suffering for the citizens of the captured cities because once they finish their work they will be reintroduced into society Empire.

"Very good king Yaax after analyzing a little you will not be able to continue maintaining your status as regent of the city of Aguateca and you will also lose your title as king but in return, you will be Count of Aguateca.

The city will be in charge of a provisional Mayor who will be responsible for managing it, your town will be added immediately as citizens of the Nova Roma empire but they will have to carry out road construction work for the empire.

These tasks will be paid and they will have an 8-hour work schedule that is for men for women to work in the manufacture of bricks and leather tanning, all these tasks will be with the safety standards that the empire offers and includes breakfast and lunch.

Children will enjoy the school where they will receive classes and all their necessary meals, as for pregnant women they will receive medical attention so that they can give birth to healthy Roman children.

As for your family, you can keep the palace of the city of Aguateca along with your property, I hope these measures do not sound very excessive but it is the best I can do for you. "

Flavio looked at the king of Aguateca, he had his head down and showed signs of being depressed, Yaax raised his face and gave Flavio a smile

"I have no problem accepting the conditions, I just hope I can continue to retain my servitude and the empire can provide some soldiers to guarantee my defense and that of my family."

Flavio got up from his seat and walked towards a window with his back to Yaax "You can continue to keep your servitude but you have to guarantee a payment for your support if what you are looking for are slaves, the Caribs are perfect for the job.

To guarantee your defense and that of your Family, 20 auxiliary soldiers will be sent which will be commanded by an Aztec Praetorian, also the city of Aguateca will have a permanent garrison of 500 soldiers that will guarantee the transition and protection against any threat.

When the citizens have completed their work, the empire will send police officers to be responsible for the safety of the streets and to solve crimes of the common law, they will also receive everything related to what a Roman city needs.

Now you are free I have to wait for the news about the conquest of the other three cities that will not be as lucky as you "

Yaax got up from the seat to be able to retire before the emperor wanted to change his mind but before he could leave the room a gigantic (Mexican) Royal eagle stood in the window, it had a hanging backpack.

Flavio knew that he was a Nahual, therefore he opened the window and let it pass, Yaax could observe how the eagle was transformed into a human, the Nahual presented himself before Flavio and handed over the backpack that had a small bunch of papers.

After this the Nahual became a golden eagle again and flew to the horizon, Flavio made a quick reading about the documents left by the Nahual messenger, Yaax was about to leave the room when Flavio asked him to take it again seat.

"Yaax why in such a hurry, I just received the news about the conquest of the three Mayan cities but there is a part that surprised me, says that in the city of Calakmul something quite strange was found"

Flavio walked back to his seat with the documents in his hand, Yaax began to tremble because he didn't know what the emperor was going to ask him.

Flavio gave a malevolent smile to Yaax "I already knew that the pyramids have cenotes under them and that they perform sacrificial ceremonies but what I don't know and I'm sure you know is that there are in the cenotes under the pyramid.

According to the report, soldiers entered looking for the king of Calakmul who had escaped with his family using the underground tunnels that were under his palace to exit through an entrance to a limestone mine.

But what the soldiers found was the whole royal family of Calakmul dead inside the cenote, their clothes and jewels were thrown to the side of the cenote entrance, all this would make sense if the king of Calakmul wanted to die and avoid being caught.

Unfortunately, he wanted to escape with his family and on the way, he found only death, now what or who caused the death of the king of Calakmul and his family, what secrets are hidden under the Yaax pyramids "

The question he did not want to hear was said by Flavio, with a face of fear and eyes asking for mercy he said "Everything but that emperor, the Mayan cities have their secrets and their functions"

Flavio placed his hand on his chin "I understand that each city is built following an astronomical pattern, but that does not explain what is under the pyramids, do not make it more difficult Yaax" saying this Flavio began to release some of his divine energy.

When Yaax felt the energy given off by the emperor, he had no choice but to bow down and bow his head "Forgive his majesty and God Flavio for my arrogance but each pyramid has a function that has passed from Generation to Generation.

In the beginning of the world after the gods created us from corn, beasts woke up from their sleep due to the disturbance of humans in their habitat, they destroyed cities and massacred our ancestors.

It was then that we asked for help from mother Tonantzin who together with the feathered serpent fought to defend us from the danger of the beasts, these after being defeated were imprisoned in cenotes.

These cenotes were under the constellations of the sky because the prisons would obtain energy from the stars, the pyramids were built on the prisons in the cenotes to hide and that it would be another defensive measure to prevent their release.

All the skeletons that exist in the cenotes below the pyramid are part of those who gave their lives building the pyramid, the most likely thing that happened with the family of Imox the king of Calakmul is that they succumbed to the influence of the beast "ÁAK 'AB. "

Despite being sealed their power to control minds still exists, I am surprised that their soldiers could have been in place without succumbing to their influence. "

Flavio began to caress his temples "Basically there are time bombs under the pyramids, waiting for the right time to leave and cause chaos"

Yaax replied "I don't know what its a" time bomb " but beasts are a danger that should not be underestimated, that's why it is important to take care of the pyramid and expand it whenever possible so that the seal absorbs more energy from the stars. "

Flavio ordered Yaax to get up and leave, he had a lot to think about to know what he is going to do with this problem.

When Yaax retired Flavio lit his tobacco pipe "Problems after problems but I suppose the conquest of America is going to be fun, HaHaha .."
