Amancio entered with his soldiers to the city of Ckmul prepared to face any kind of attack by the Maya of the city.


    The king of Ckmul knew that the city would not resist long so he was nning his escape and that of his family for this, he ordered his guard Jaguar to fight until death.


    The king of Ckmul and his family used the underground passage they had inside the pce, this passage connected with a series of catbs that were under the pyramid to Ahau Kin (God of the sun), but had an exit in the limestone quarry of where they obtained the stone for the construction of the pyramids and temples.


    Roman soldiers inside the city began to check house by house in search of soldiers, discipline is a fundamental rule for Roman legionaries, therefore, there was no kind of robbery or vitions of civilians.


    They were only taken out of their homes to gather them away from the danger points of the city and we’re not going to suffer any coteral damage by staying in their homes, the Maya defended the best they could in the city but their weapons were useless.


    In just a few minutes more than half of the city had fallen into the hands of the Romans, but this was only the beginning the second-line troops along with the musketeers and crossbowmen advanced towards the city to assist the first-line troops.


    Despite not having been fighting fatigue for a long time, the heavy set of armor, the heat and fighting house by house is beginning to be present in the troops and is making them want to take a break.


    The reinforcements arrived just in time and began to rece the frontline soldiers, with this new push the conquest of the city elerated, Amancio along with his soldiers made their way through the suburbs until they reached the courtyard of the pce of Ckmul.


    In the ce, they faced soldiers painted with jaguar motifs who had obsidian spears and Jaguar skins as clothing, with a war cry the jaguar warriorsunched themselves against the legionaries.


    The confrontation was brutal the jaguar warriors threw themselves on the Romans some of them managed to get their spears buried in the hands of the Roman soldiers, unfortunately when the legionaries in the back wanted to end the wounded with their pilums killed them of the jaguar warriors.


    Amancio faced the jaguarmander, the jaguarmander’s weapon was the macuahuitl, a wooden stick with obsidian edges despite being the best weapon they could manufacture without the use of metals proved to be somewhat ineffective against the Amancio saber.


    But this did not change the fact that each collision between the macuahuitl and the steel saber will cause small splinters to fly, Amancio wondered how sharp that obsidian had to be able to damage the steel weapon he was using.


    The confrontationsted for a while until the jaguarmander blinked and Amancio took advantage of that moment to deflect the attack of the macuahuitl using the armor of his arm, he could feel that although he was using a steel armor the obsidian of the weapon could cross and cut his arm.


    But thanks to the adrenaline of the battle he did not worry about the wound and crossed his saber in the chest of the jaguarmander who lost the strength of his arms and with ast look of hatred at Amancio said goodbye to the underworld falling dead.


    With his death the capture of Ckmul wasplete, but there was a problem after reviewing the pce and the temples I do not know I can find the royal family of Ckmul, after questioning the servants they said they had escaped through the tunnels of the catbs of the pyramid.


    Soldiers quickly found the entrance and began their journey through the dark tunnels, the ce was damp andpletelycking venttion they wondered how they had managed to get out.


    On their way, they managed to reach the base of the pyramid where they could see through the dim light of the torch arge hole that when they saw it up close they could see a cenote that in its crystalline waters had a horrific secret.


    Hundreds of skeletons were at the bottom of the cenote in the ce they could also find some gold clothes and essories that seemed to have been used by the family of the king of Ckmul, after a search they managed to find their bodies in the cenote.


    Their faces showed that they had suffered before they died, the soldiers decided to leave the ce and not disturb that cenote they did not want to end up like the royal family of Ckmul, they divided not moving anything left to avoid curses or situations that had no control.


    When they left they told everything they had seen to Amancio who was receiving sutures from the arm in which he was injured, he did not judge the soldiers because he knew that the cenotes were dangerous because the Nahuals told the stories about what was happening in them.


    He decided to order to seal the entrance of the cenote to avoid that anything that will inhabit that ce remained there forever, while he was receiving medical assistance, he was reported wounded and dead.


    The wounded were only about 30 and the dead were 3 soldiers who died because they were pulled from the pyramid while they took the temple to Ahau Kin, for Amancio they were eptable figures, taking into ount that he was one of the 30 injured could notin.


    The Mayan cities of Tikal and Nakbe were also conquered before the sun went down, with this the Roman pax is a reality and now all efforts will be focused on the defense of the north and preparation to receive the cold whose duration is a mystery.
