Ezpan respectfully replied. More than a decade ago, during the Tarasco Era, he had fought in the southwest for many years, conquering the Tekos people, and was extremely familiar with the local terrain and environment. At this moment, he stood before the king and recounted the details of the Apa Plain one by one.
"Tepalcatepec is on the western edge of the plain, located on the banks of the Bo River, rich in clay and capable of producing high-quality colored pottery. To the northwest of Tepalcatepec is the source of the Bo River, Olive Lake (Los Olives). Around the lake stand fragrant, peculiar forests, abundant in tree resin and frankincense. The villages near the mountain areas all produce furs and feathers..."
Xiulote listened patiently. He became increasingly convinced that Ezpan was the best choice to develop the Apa Plain and guard the southwest.
