The road to the imperial pce was quite calm, there was only one incident with Ares who, like Zeus, seems to enjoy the pleasure of women and could not stand the beauty of the supreme priestess who asked as ady ofpany.


    vio only shook his head when he saw that scene but for the priestesses to be chosen by a God is a divine act, since from their union a demigod can be born that helps the empire and promotes religion.


    As expected Ares traveled in a separate carriage with her priestess, only Yuma asked why Uncle Ares had traveled separately too which vio replied that it was why they were making a new cousin for the family to grow.


    In the imperial pce, vio was received by his cab who had the most relevant news of the empire, something he liked was that the temperature felt much colder than normal, which is morefortable for him.


    vio has never liked warm climates and much less the air impregnated with moisture, one of the ns for the future is to move the capital to the center of the Tehuantepec isthmus, where the interoceanic canal that you n to build will go through.


    In the conference room in the pce the ministers updated vio on the issues of the empire, unlike the limited information that the supreme priestess could give, the ministers gave a detailed report.


    Artimer was the first to speak "I hope you enjoyed your emperor trip, during the month that was not we took the trouble to make a quick census of the poption.


    The Empire currently has a poption of 5,000,000, thanks to the immigrants brought by Empress Hellena and to the refugees.


    Not to mention that ourws that encourage children are paying off. "


    Taneri continued with Artimer’s speech "The census not only became a whim but also has a very important function, which is to prepare for the cold weather thates from the north.


    Although the census can have failures because it is not aplete census since it would take half a year toplete one but it gives us the necessary numbers for can work into a n for avoiding deads by problems of food orck of supplies.


    We are sure that the climate in the Caribbean inds isn’t going to fall more than certain degrees so that the habitability of the region is our best option to create farms that feed the continent. "


    The marine minister took a report on a situation quite favorable for the empire "During the month that you are on vacation emperor, some fishermen dared to venture away from Inse Canibalium, to obtain a greater amount of fishing.


    What they found was even more important, they discovered that the settlements that were on the beach of the Hispani ind werepletely abandoned.


    This surprised him because there were always children or women in the settlements if they were not nearby it could only mean that they were preparing tounch an attack or something had happened.


    With great care and preparing their harpoons and some short swords, they approached the coast to be able to better observe the abandoned settlements when they finally arrived they realized that the settlements already had time without being inhabited.


    They decided to enter the jungle because they could be victims of some Caribbean attacks so they decided to return and report their findings in the Inse Canibalium marina.


    When this news came to us, our first reaction was to think that there had been a civil conflict between them or that the damn jungle had reached the inds and ended its poption.


    As we send some ships to investigate some other more distant settlements of the Hispani ind, to our surprise we find the same scene in all ces not a single sample of life and hundreds of settlements devoid of people.


    We had to ask for support from the unit of flying Nahuales so that they could take a tour of the ind and see if the Caribs had died or if they had taken refuge in the center of the Ind, it was only enough for them to review for 3 full days to give us A report that alerted us.


    There was no trace of the Caribs, this worried us because our first reaction was to think that the damned jungle if it had attacked the Ind and that it had ended the poption, we managed to gather a few volunteers who were not afraid to die so they could step on the ind and confirm if it was safe or something else had happened.


    To our surprise the Ind seemed quite normal, the only difference was that there were no Caribs in it, we decided tounch one more expedition to the other nearby inds to check if this phenomenon had been repeated or if it was only an isted event urred on the ind of the Hispani.


    The information that the explorers brought was the same, there is no trace of the Caribs, the settlements are abandoned and they are only huts that are being destroyed by nature.


    There was absolutely nothing of value or food inside the settlements, so we assume that people left in an orderly manner and were not attacked by something.


    Among all the theories that emerged the one that has the most coherence is the one that exins that they decided to leave the settlements and withdraw from those inds, because of the danger that the empire represents for them.


    As to where they could have fled we can only assume that they went east, why in the south is the cursed jungle and in the north we are, this would give the result that they fled to Africa so they stopped being a threat.


    We are conducting guards and searching the inds to try to find Carib hiding ces in case they are cheating to attract us and attack us from behind. "


    vio scratched his head "The god of the Caribs would win nothing by forcing his people to leave their homes to attack us, by doing so they would lose the advantage in many ways.


    But escaping may be that for them it is the best option, after seeing how the Caribbean poption was enved and died in the construction of the empire that was their best option.


    Taneri and Artimer have the mission of starting to found a city on the ind of Spain, the security of the ind will be in charge of the navy if this goes well, the Minister of the Navy will create a province specialized in the navy. "


    On the night Ares and the priestess left the carriagepletely disheveled and with scars from the battle they had had all afternoon, but seeing that it was night they decided to continue their battle ...
