Chapter 1226: Self-confidence
It is undeniable that Supiluliumas' arrogant attitude made many Paiditi natives feel dissatisfied. However, the facts are right in front of him, Anuratu and his supporters have no ability to resist the siege of the Kukulkan Order, and it is even more impossible to resist the god-like warrior in front of him.
The so-called rebels in Anuratu are actually just a guerrilla team, occasionally ambushing the Trinity inspection base, military supply station, ammunition depot and fuel depot. Due to the firepower gap, they are not successful every time. The gap between automatic rifles and bows can only play a role in ambush. Once the Trinity mercenaries find them and launch a counterattack, the rebels will have to bear a large number of casualties. Therefore, every time Anuratu and tribal warriors must attack carefully and then retreat in a hurry, which does not bring substantial irreparable losses to the Trinity and the Church of San Juan.
An officer like Camilla had experience in the jungle guerrilla warfare in Peru, and she could not understand the combat strategies of Anuratu and the tribal warriors. The Kukulkan Cultivator usurped power several years ago. Camilla did not understand why so many years have passed, even the residents of the small towns outside were selling Holy Trinity mercenaries to sell firearms for supplies, while Anuratu and tribal warriors still failed to learn to use firearms.
It is no wonder that he was so conservative and so ignorant that he was usurped by the Kukulkan Cult.
"Fifty warriors?" Supiluliumas also found that his initial expectations had overestimated Anuratu's organizational and military capabilities. He judged that the tribal warriors following Anuratu had a firm sense of religious belief and mission. Anuratu should use these warriors well, but the current situation was worse than expected. He also had the same doubts as Camilla, but he did not explain this phenomenon shallowly, "There are hundreds of mercenaries in the Holy Trinity, why haven't they killed you all."
"Because Amaru wants to convince me, he wants to convince me to hand over Kukulkan's secret."
Supiluliumas nodded. This explanation fits the conjecture, it is a limited competition, hopes for appeasement when it is still alive until the Trinity requires more.
Anuratu glanced at Laura Crawford, who was eager to try. The desire for knowledge emanated from archaeologists was visible to the naked eye, which made Anuratu feel uneasy, especially when she asked about the "Eye of the Giant Snake" and "Silver Box", Anuratu was even more suspicious of her. It was not until the Imperial Guards showed their irresistible power that they could not resist that this idea gradually faded. After all, having such a powerful war machine does not require selling a silver box to make a profit, but she believed that this group of people would not be able to satisfy him.
"I don't know if I can trust you, nor do I like the declaration of conquest, but I will work with you to solve the problem, because it belongs to Paiditti, my mission."
"Very good, then let the soldiers carry weapons from the gunboat." Supiluliumas didn't know whether he should praise Anuratu for making rational decisions, but Anuratu's next question almost made him laugh.
"I have seen weapons used by the Order soldiers. Muskets are more powerful and faster. Those weapons cannot threaten you. They are as weak as fallen leaves to you." Anuratu looked at the laser carbine in his hand. The modular design is simple and clean, with no extra parts to understand. When she aimed and pulled the trigger according to Supiluliumas' instructions, a ruby beam of light immediately surged out of the muzzle, burning a small oil-black pit on the stone wall of the hall. "So what about this? Can this weapon that can shoot light threaten you?" She pointed to the spear of the guards again, "Where is this weapon?"
"I am the guardian of immortality created by my Lord using the most mysterious genetic alchemy in the universe. He used the world's top mechanical technology and the strongest metal to create armor and weapons, and hoped that we could achieve our ideals. But I believe that quantity can solve many problems. As my Lord said, machinery has power, this weapon is ruthless and efficient. Almost all the conventional bulletproof equipment in the world today cannot withstand this laser."
Supiluliumas smiled on his face hidden behind his helmet, but he tried not to let Anuratu hear the subtext, "I will train tribal warriors. After sunset, tribal warriors will learn how to use this weapon and how to cooperate with the action. As for this weapon...it is generally used to deal with heavy armored targets. If mortals use this weapon, the result is that the recoil pulls the arm off the body. I believe you don't want to lose a warrior every time you shoot."
"Thank you for your honesty, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of person can make you so powerful." Anuratu said sincerely, "I rarely see this kind of trust. Giving a deadly weapon to a stranger is like handing over the back to the enemy. What kind of crisis and authority is that you are willing to take risks?"
"It's just a mission." Supiluliumas laughed again, "You will meet him soon, and that will be the greatest and most honorable moment of your life." He looked at the boy, the son of Anuratu, "so do you, if you are lucky enough, maybe you can join us."
"Tell me about your master, if your master is the person I think." Laura Crawford said. It felt pretty good to ride an anti-gravity suspended gunboat across the mountain stream, and the only downside was that there was no cabin cover for the wind, and she had to communicate with Amon through her headphones, just like sitting in a helicopter. "I've never seen you. You said you were an artificial creature, but I've never seen him have this technology."
"You know too little, Ms. Crawford. My Lord thought that some things were not suitable for others to know, so he kept secrets. Your father... was too idealistic. I believe that you can understand this truth after experiencing the Lost City. The public sometimes does not want to know the ugly truth. Mortals are too fragile to control their desires and thus have sins that violate social morality." Amon discovered Lara Crawford's discomfort. The strong wind made her almost unable to open her eyes, so Amon slowed down slightly so that Lara Crawford would not be filled with air when she spoke. "But you are special, my Lord told me that your destiny is destined to be associated with these supernatural phenomena and relics, so you must know some secrets to arm your mind and brain."
"What does this mean? Do you also have magic?"
"No, I won't." Amon replied with a straight face, "I suggest you be prepared now, I will go to the Eye of the Serpent with you. Our purpose is to kill witchcraft, not advocate witchcraft, I will be responsible for dealing with all the supernatural forces you see."
"Can you do? I think this thing may not be able to enter the underground tunnel."
"Maybe I am not a tactician or group warrior like Constantine or Hannibal, but there will not be many creatures on this planet who can resist when facing an imperial guard." Amon poked his head out of the driver's seat and searched for the ancient statue described by Anuratu. The garrison spear was locked firmly next to the driver's seat, and Amon could pick it up and wave it at any time. Laura Crawford could also use an airborne bomb gun to drain fire to deal with the possible Holy Trinity armed helicopter. Good luck, or the Holy Trinity mercenary was lucky enough that the onboard radar on the floating airship did not detect the helicopter that destroyed the armored vehicle.
