In early May, after the Kingdom fleet had stayed with the Ipa Great Tribe for half a month, Red Stone Chief Matutumbe finally cut his hair and swore a blood oath, choosing to convert to the Main God. From then on, he became the first great tribal chief on the North American continent to voluntarily convert to the Main God's faith! And the Ipa Great Tribe, with its five thousand tribespeople, immediately became the Kingdom's first allied tribe on the west coast of North America!
"Blessings of the Main God! The wind of the ancestors comes from the south, and long-parted brothers are joined as one from this day forth! Silem! Ku'upla!..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This time, the deafening cheers rose from the Kingdom's exploration fleet, accompanied by the roar of cannons fired into the sky, imprinting themselves deeply in the hearts of all the Kumeyaay. And faced with the power of thunder and flame, the tribal priests and elders who had originally harbored discontent all shut their mouths and lowered their heads in awe.
"From spring into summer, this whole journey north has been terribly dry, without much rain... Fortunately, that's exactly why the fleet's Granular Gunpowder has kept its strength so well!"
On the flagship Longship, exploration captain Zuwaro watched the sacred scene of conversion, a smile rising on his face. And the missionary priest to be stationed here had already been decided: it was the Purepecha first-rank priest Kuimu.
Judging from "Mu," a plant-related given name, and "Kui," an eagle-related surname, he should have come from the Kingdom's south, very likely as the illegitimate son of some old noble. And taking the entrance exam for Shenwei University, becoming a Kingdom priest, even joining an ocean exploration... was a true path upward for these descendants of nobles
