Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1605 - 1142: From India and the Bahamas Islands, Journeying to Japan and Cuba...

"Woo woo! Ah! Ah woo!…"

The night is vast, the sound of sobbing fills the air. Darkness is the beast within people's hearts, hiding a terrifying and cruel force. On the flagship, Navigator Pedro kept his head down, hurriedly leaving into the night. In the dim captain's room, only Columbus was left standing, furious and gritting his teeth.

"Merda! These idiots dare to break such a taboo! Do they really think I won't kill?…"

In the sea voyages of the Middle Ages, there were many peculiar, superstitious and deeply-rooted maritime traditions. One of them was that there must not be women on long voyage ships! In the seafaring culture of Western Europe, having women on board would bring bad luck, storms and ominous events, especially for long voyage fleets, attracting dreadful existences from the deep sea. Similarly, women would severely undermine the discipline on the ship, causing conflicts among the crew…

In fact, the captains of Spain and Portugal preferred goats favored by God. Because goats could serve various purposes, bring blessings of good luck, and even be sacrificed to appease the giant beasts of the sea, calming the storms… Captains would tolerate sailors burning, killing, and looting on land but would never allow women on board, unless they had fallen to a certain depravity! More often, sailors bringing women onto a ship were seen as disregarding and challenging the captain's authority…

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Are you looking for me, brother-in-law?"

Moments later, Alana came alone, flushed with happiness. He joyfully pushed open the door, his face beaming as he looked at Columbus.

"Eh? Brother-in-law! This big glass in your hand, isn't it the one you just got today? I remember the tribespeople on that island offered you this big glass bead. Initially, you took it as a gemstone, smiling from ear to ear. Then you found it was a worthless green glass bead and angrily drew your sword to chop off that tribesperson's hand with one stroke…"

"Bang!…"

"Ah! Brother-in-law?! Why did you hit me on the head with the glass bead!… Are you crazy?…"

"Vaffanculo! Merda! You're the crazy one! Don't talk nonsense to me! Call me Commander!…"

Columbus's face was vicious, one hand gripping the sword hilt, the other clutching Alana's open shirt collar, fiercely asking.

"Alana! I'm asking you! What's with this woman's crying! How dare you break my rules on the ship by bringing women aboard?…"

"Ah! Ah! Brother-in-law… oh, Commander… we've been at sea, risking life and death, drifting for over a month. The sailors have long been driven mad!… Having finally reached the shore, encountering these unclothed islanders… The women on the island are good-looking and well-shaped, all enticing with their bare bodies, hardly even having any hair, and painting on their bellies with paint… How could anyone resist?…"

"Merda! Alana, you fool! Whether you kill people on the island or enjoy the native women, I won't interfere!… But I'm asking you, who? Who told you to bring women on board to mess around, break the ship's rules?!…"

"Ah! I… this!…"

The hanging oil lamp casts an orange glow on Columbus's fierce blue face, like illuminating a zombie climbing out of a grave. Seeing Columbus's savage expression, Captain of the Guard Alana shivered, finally realizing the gravity of the situation. He nervously licked his lips, whispering a reply.

"Almighty bear witness! Commander… it was… Second Boatswain Qia Chu took me and a few sailors to the village on the shore, brought some good-looking, young women aboard to have fun… after they came up, about half the sailors joined in. Initially, their mouths were covered, but just in the rush earlier, that's when the woman cried out…"

"Well, I did… wasn't it you who told me to establish good relations with the sailors, to win them over?…"

"Vaffanculo! Alana, you fool, you understand nothing!… Damn it! It's Qia Chu this troublemaker again!… Go! Gather a few trusted men, take up weapons, and come out with me!… Merda! Tonight, I'm going to take that fellow's head off and hang it on the mast to feed the birds!…" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Ah? Commander! Brother-in-law! You're not serious are you!… Almighty! Brother-in-law, stop, you can't be impulsive! You know, Qia Chu is a troublemaker, he has a few sailors under him, and he's quite skilled with the sword… How could he possibly let us cut him down obediently?… If you really leave the captain's room to find him… by the time he fights back, who knows who'll be the one hanging on the mast!…"

Alana's face turned pale, blocking the captain's room door, hugging Columbus's waist tightly. Columbus, full of anger, holding the rapier, breathed heavily for a while before gradually suppressing the urge to kill. He knew Alana wasn't wrong, as the authority he established after finding land was sufficient for normal command of the fleet, but when it came to licking blood off the blade, it might not compare to the camaraderie of the two Boatswains with the sailors…

"Merda! I will hang this bunch of fools sooner or later!… No, wait! Though Qia Chu is skilled, he usually lacks brains… Tonight's situation might be someone else's instigation… Hmm! This rapier left here, I fear it was aimed at me!…"

Columbus stood in place, his expression fluctuating, thoughts racing rapidly. After a moment, he suddenly sat back in his chair, his voice somewhat deep as he asked.
