Chapter 39: Decisive Battle (2)
Tescoco. At the moment when Tenochtitlan has been destroyed, it is the most solid city in Aztlan, with the highest and largest walls. Before, it was repeatedly harassed by many city-state troops arranged by Amy because of insufficient defenders, but after Nesavalkoyotel left the army in the city, it was already a difficult fortress.
Amy led the rebels to the city and met with the many city-state troops arranged to harass nearby. The siege camp was built, and various city-state flags were floating inside. Even the new fire ceremony once every fifty-two years ago had never gathered in the city-states in Aztland so completely.
Amy rode Fenriel around the city wall for a while, observing the height and thickness of the city wall, as well as the situation of the defenders. After a half day, she was convinced by the response of the defenders that Nessaval Koyotel was not in the city now.
She looked up at the sky, and the wind blew from the direction of Tescoco, whistling towards her.
She asked her entourage to call Awutmok. Tratoani, who was once one of the rulers of Aztlan, has become the lowest-level existence in the rebels after surrendering. In order to take care of Awutmok's emotions, their troops were carried by Amy to minimize conflicts with other states.
Awutmok rushed over Amy's orders and remained silent all the way.
"How many days can the incense you have in Trakopanbon burn?" Amy asked.
"It depends on how to burn it." Awutmok replied listlessly, "If you save some use and make the room a little fragrant, it will not be finished after burning for several years. If you pile it outdoors and light a fire, it will be finished in less than half a day."
"What about reducing the purity?" Amy asked, "Can you add some other things to the incense, such as 30% incense and 70% of the leaves, burn more time?"
"This..." Awutmok was stunned.
"Can or can't?"
"I don't know." Awutmok replied honestly, "This kind of sacred object has always been pursuing the highest quality. I have never seen the priests burn with miscellaneous objects, and I don't know what the effect will be."
"You don't know, Nesavalkoyotel shouldn't know either. Then just decide to spread the existing incense evenly and incinerate it in a ten-fold dilution!"
"Dilute ten times? That way, there will be only a little fragrance. Can this really work..."
"If you don't want to be effective, as long as you can scare Nesavalcoyotel and buy time for the siege. After capturing Tescoco, there will naturally be a batch of new incense as a supplement."
Amy stared at Awutmok and asked:
"How many days can it burn?"
"Dilute ten times, that should be enough to burn for two days." Awutmok replied.
"Okay, Awutmok, I will send you to the rear of our army, looking for a narrow place that must be passed, and preparing for the preparation of the ignition. Once Nesavalkoyotel is found, immediately light an incense to stop him from moving forward."
"Okay, I understand." Awutmok said weakly.
"Awutmok." Amy looked at him, "You know why I'm sending you to do this mission?"
"Because we know incense best. Moreover, this task is the most dangerous, so we should do it."
"Yes - the most dangerous, but the greatest contribution is also the greatest. Abandoning Nesavalkoyotel, you are the first contribution."
"Top Master?" Awutmok's eyes were light.
"This is also a chance to prove that you have broken off from your relationship with the old empire." Amy patted Awutmok on the shoulder. "This is the most important task. If you turn against Nesarval Koyotel, we will be wiped out. But I still decided to hand over this task to you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Nesavalkoyotel bullies too much, no one will turn against him! Thank you, Lord God, for your trust." Awutmok nodded, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I'm worried... the incense that has been diluted ten times cannot block Nesavalkoyotel."
Amy laughed, signaling Awutmok to put his ears up and whisper a few words in his ear.
"Just act as I said," Amy said, "Don't worry, I will capture Tescoco before the incense is exhausted."
The news that Tescoko was besieged was spread to Nessaval Koyotel's ears four days later. It was eight days later when Nessaval Koyotel set off with a few followers.
A camp stood in front of them, walking around the soldiers of Trakopan.
"What a Trakopan. Just as stupid and weak as their predecessor, Tratoani."
Nesavalkoyotel smiled coldly. After destroying the three city-states with his own strength, his temperament has quietly changed. His clothes that were originally clean and clean now have blood spots on the east and west. The flower on his chest has withered for a long time and has not been replaced.
He did not pick the flowers, but stretched his hands to both sides, and a fire that soared into the sky rose from the camp ahead, as if a pillar of fire was erected between heaven and earth.
"It's Nesaval Koyotel!"
Trakopan's soldiers shouted in panic and began to flee.
"You are here." He waved his hand and signaled his followers to retreat, and walked into the pillar of fire in front of him alone.
His steps were so confident and his magic was so terrifying. Although there was only one person, in the eyes of the soldiers, it seemed like a mountain was pressing towards them. Every time he took a step on the ground, a new pillar of fire rose into the sky, as hot as magma, roasting everything he encountered into ashes.
Soon, all the noise subsided. Nesavalcoyotel stepped out of the sea of fire and saw only a ball of white smoke floating out of the swamp in front, blew towards this side with the wind.
"Ah... I did use this method. As expected."
He stretched out his nose and smelled it, and sure enough, he smelled the incense. So he turned around slowly and walked back to his followers.
"The rebels wanted to stop me with incense," he said. "Let's just rest here for a few days to see how long their incense can burn."
"Tratoani, is that okay?" asked a follower worriedly. "Tescoco is now under attack from the enemy. If you go back a little later, you may be captured!"
"So what if Tescoco is attacked? Am I standing here smoothly?" Nesavalkoyotel smiled faintly, "I am Tratoani of Tescoco, and I am Tratoko. I'm fine, Tescoco is fine, isn't that true? And don't worry, with such a large range, it won't be burned for a few days with the incense stock of Tracopan."
