Tescocobon.

This city-state named after Lake Tescoco is not far from Tenochtitlan. Starting from Tenochtitlan, drive eastward through the dam in the middle of the lake, then continue to cross the lake eastward, and then head north along the swamp after entering the edge of the swamp area. You can see it after a while.

It is not the center of politics, so it is not as crowded as Tenochtitlan. Under the rule of Nesaval Koyotel, even the entry and exit of caravans was strictly controlled, so it became one of the most closed city-states of the Aztlan Empire. However, with the continuous input of tribute from each state, it is actually very prosperous. On the swamp outside the city-state, one movable water farmland after another, covered with lush crops. In the blocks in the center of the city-state, from Kechar bird feathers to gold jewelry, from obsidian ore to rubber, you can buy specialties from all over the empire with enough cocoa beans.

However, when Nesavalkoyotel rushed back, the prosperity had declined. The farmland outside the city-state was in a mess, with mature crops stolen and underripe crops trampled. Rolling smoke emerged from the water farmlands that the Tescobonites were proud of, and there were still embers of flames left in some places.

Since the alliance with Tenochtitlan, Tescocoban has not been attacked by the enemy for hundreds of years. Walking on the swamp covered with corpses, Nesavalkoyotel's face gradually became gloomy with the naked eye.

The city-state was not captured. The local residents who defended the city were lying on the mud walls in vain. When Nesavalkoyotel returned, they waved their hands happily on the walls.

Nesavalcoyotel did not enter the city-state.

"Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?" he shouted angrily under the city, "Which city-state is so ugly that it actually came to attack my Tescoco?"

"Tratoani, there are many people from the city-state, not five, and four!" The defenders replied on the city wall, "Maybe they found out that you were here, they had already withdrawn a few days ago! Go north all the way!"

Nesavalkoyotel immediately ordered his army: "The whole army, pursue the north!"

Then, he ordered the defenders on the city wall: "Prepare food immediately, and be sure to deliver it to our military camp before tomorrow!"

Before receiving the message that Tescoko was besieged, Nesavalkoyotel's grain transport team had been attacked by Shupiak. With the little military rations they brought, they finally returned to Tescoko. It is logical that the army should rest and rectify and restore their spirits, but Nesavalkoyotel could not bear the humiliation of the attack on the city-state. He bit his hatred and even if he couldn't eat enough, he would teach these people who dared to rebel with a bloody lesson. This is also a deterrent to other city-states, otherwise, as time goes by, more and more city-states joining the rebellion like this.

Since Nezaval Koyotel took over Tescobon, he has been hoarding food. At this moment, he asked the city-state to prepare the food within half a day. Although it was urgent, it was not difficult. He pursued all the way north and camped for a short rest at night. The next morning, the pack husband composed of slaves carried the food to the camp of the resting army.

After that, Nesavalkoyotel began a crazy pursuit. For three consecutive days, he ordered the troops to march all night to shorten the distance with the enemy. Three days later, the enemy still had no shadow. Nesavalkoyotel wanted to continue the marching urgently, but his troops could not hold on, so he only took a short rest for a night.

After chasing at the normal speed for a few days, no special incident happened. Nessaval Koyotel's mood improved a little.

"Think about it carefully, we don't need to chase it so quickly." He sat on a stone and said to the soldiers. "These are people in the city-state, not the tribes that migrated everywhere on the Eastern plains. Even if they can run away, their city-state can't run away."

Several soldiers came over and reported to Nesawar Koyotel that the people from Tescobon were coming.

"Come?" Nesavalkoyotel was quite surprised. "It's not the second time to deliver food, right?"

Before he finished speaking, the men from Tescobon rushed in. As soon as he saw Nesavalkoyotel, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Tratoani, Tescobon has been attacked again. There are many enemies. Please go back quickly!"

Everyone, including Nesavalkoyotel, stood up suddenly. Nesavalkoyotel's face became even more terrifying than before: "Another attacked? Didn't the people attacking the city-state run in front of us?"

"It's another group of people!" The voices of the people who came were hoarse, "There are probably two or three city-states, Tratoani, you set out to chase after you, and they ran over and began to siege Tescobon!"

"How could the timing be so coincidental?" The soldiers were panicked and turned their eyes to Nesavalcoyotel, "Tratoani, what should we do?"

"What should I do? What else can I do? The people in Tescobon are much more valuable than the scum we are pursuing." Nesavalkoyotel looked at the north unwillingly, and finally turned his head to the south, "Give up the pursuit and go back to rescue."

There were several consecutive days of rapid march. When Nesavalkoyotel returned to Tescobon, the scene outside the city became even more desolate, and even a mountain of corpses was piled up under the city wall. But as before, the enemy was completely gone, and they retreated a few days before Nesavalkoyotel's return.

"What's wrong...it's very wrong."

Nesavalcoyotel's eyes looked vigilantly around the city-state, filled with swamps and shrubs.

"Even if these city-states all want to make a comeback, why is the timing so coincidental? It's like someone is commanding uniformly... No, it's not just a matter of unified command, it's like a complete grasp of our movements. It's like watching our eagle in the sky...or...a mouse watching us in the cave."

He suddenly caught fire, threw the fireball into the depths of the swamp, pulled his arm, allowing the fire to spread rapidly around. But he saw three people suddenly jumping out of the uninhabited swamp, slapped the fire on his body while running away.

"Catch them!" Nesavalkoyotel shouted, "They are all spies!"

Of the three, two were burned to death, and one was dragged to Nesavalkoyotel. His appearance was simple and unpretentious, and he was like a passing farmer.

"Farmer, yes, I have seen farmers, hunters and woodcutters more than once along the way." Nesavalkoyotel stared at the farmer with dark eyes: "I should have thought of the news of the failure of the leopard warrior and the eagle warrior to spread to the entire Aztlan organization at such a fast speed... only 'Rat'."

"Yes, we are the 'rats'." The farmer knew that he could not live anymore, so he could only smile coldly, "Aztlans, you will all die without a burial place, because rats have spread throughout Aztlan!"

"I thought you had disappeared...who was commanding you?"

"Of course it's the 'eagle'! Aztlans, you can beat us the first time, but you can't win our second time. The army we organized was ambushed by you, but this time, the eagle invited the messenger of the Feathered Snake God!" The farmer became more and more excited. "The 'eagle' has always been omnipotent, and this time he also added the Feathered Snake God. They will lead us to defeat you! Aztlans, take your Sun God of War, get out of me!"

"Will the 'Eagle' beat me?"

Nesaval Koyotel tilted his head in disbelief. But after a moment, he understood what was going on.
