Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Twelve Red and White, the Judgment of Fate!
"Praise the Lord God Huitziloppo! The punishment of life and death is the judgment of the Lord God to determine the nobles of the world!... I implore the Lord God of Justice to send down a divine omen to determine the fate of the sinner!..."
In front of the altar on the second and a half floor of the altar, Shulot adjusted his sacrificial clothes, straightened his crown, and pressed the mask of the god. Then, he raised his head toward the sun in the sky and shouted and prayed devoutly! His shouts
The spread of news up and down the altar made the onlookers' nobles and warriors open their eyes wide. The six or seven noble generals who were detained under the altar and retreated in the ambush were even more hesitant and kept praying for forgiveness.
"Please! Your Highness the Prophet! Please, please spare me!!..."
"The Lord God has given me a revelation! I got the divination number seven, Gen, which corresponds to a mountain. I will be sentenced to death by stoning!"
"No! No! Our Hongtan family has made great contributions to the late Lord Kasar! No!!..."
"Ah!! Uh..."
Soon, two royal guards dragged the crying nobles to the execution ground under Yunshan City. Then, rocks smashed down from the wooden wall, and there was no sound from below, leaving only a slowly blooming blood flower.
Like the most shocking mark.
"The Lord God revealed! Divination got four! Shock hexagram, corresponding to thunder, punished by thunder!..."
"God King, have mercy on me! God King, have mercy on me!! Ah!!..."
"boom!…"
Green smoke rose, thunder roared, and stone bullets took away lives in an instant. The shrill shouts were still echoing, but the shouting figures had already fallen like rags. This horrific scene of divine punishment made all those watching
Everyone was trembling with fear, not even daring to make a sound while breathing.
"The divination result is five, the Sunda hexagram, which corresponds to wind, and the punishment is wind punishment!..."
"Damn it! This is murder, murder! This is the murder of our Western nobles! What kind of ghost prophet, what kind of greedy god king... Ugh! Ho ho..."
Arrows shot out randomly, accurately shooting through the throat and into the heart. The angry shouts stopped suddenly, and the widened eyes smashed into the soil. Then, the bronze axes pulled out by the guards with severed hair were aimed at the neck.
The last hit, “click”!…
"Insult the God King! Hang his head and show it to everyone in the camp!..."
"..."
Seeing the noble generals in the front row being publicly executed one after another, Izel, the leader of the mountain clan, was shaking like chaff, and his knees were as soft as rubber.
"No... I am innocent... Even if I am guilty, my crime will not lead to death!..."
Previously, the God King ordered him and a group of nobles from the western city-states to lead 500 elites to cut off the Zapotec army's return route. Although everyone was routed and defeated, they all served as vanguards and fought hard.
He was defeated! Even half of the Shanshan family soldiers he brought were killed! What's more, the God King's cut-haired guards behind him also blocked the opening, and at most a thousand people escaped!
Since everyone was defeated in a fierce battle, it did not affect the overall situation. He had always obeyed the God King openly and was one of the most obedient among the glorious nobles... Therefore, even if he was detained by the God King's hairless guards, he expected the most
Severe punishment means being publicly humiliated, cutting off some fiefdoms, and paying more tribute. But looking at the situation in front of you, it is really the result of being punished by God and being executed?!
"Prophet! Your Highness the Prophet! Looking at the kindness of our grandfathers...please save..."
Thinking of the coming terrible divine punishment, Izel trembled all over, and first begged Shulot for mercy on the altar. But the masked "prophet" had a completely indifferent face. The eyes under the mask were indifferent.
Ruthless, just glanced at him insignificantly, and then let out a shout of judgment, interrupting his begging for mercy.
"The divination result is six! The Kan hexagram corresponds to water, and the punishment is water torture!"
"No! I don't want to die! I defeated with all my strength! I am a brave warrior..."
The young noble next to him let out a wailing cry and said Izel's lines before being dragged away by two cut-haired guards. The location of the water torture was in the river in the distance, so this execution seemed particularly long.
Death was like the sound of dripping water, dripping in his heart bit by bit, and seeping out from his whole body, turning into soaked sweat. Izel was sweating all over, and he had no intention of watching other people's executions. He became weak and prayed.
He turned around and looked at the other nobles present, hoping that someone would come forward to intercede...
"Save...save me!...For the sake of our ancestors! Looking at the marriage of our ancestors..."
Reed Chief Xintel closed his eyes and shook his head silently, as if he didn't see anything. While he was cursing the God King crazily in his heart, he was also scolding Izel silently.
"Damn God King, greedy and cruel! We, the real nobles, are all prey in his eyes, but sooner or later he will take action... Izel, you idiot! Don't seek intercession from the nobles! That is a dead end, only
It will affect more people!…”
"save..."
Izel opened his mouth and saw that the nobles lowered their heads one after another, unwilling to look at his performance. If he asked for help later, he would no longer be able to cry out. He was stunned for a few breaths, and finally understood that at this moment, he could
There was only one person who spared him! The one who sat on the highest place, the one who wanted him to die...
"The execution is over!"
"Next! Izel, the leader of the mountain clan!..."
Shulot lowered his head slightly and glanced at the panicked Izel. Then he lowered his eyes, turned around ruthlessly, and continued with the divination. In this last divination, his movements were slower, and he seemed to be particularly meticulous.
, and seems to be waiting for something.
"No! I don't want to die, I'm still young!..."
Izel was dragged under the altar and looked at the "prophet"'s death divination, shaking like chaff. He wanted to pray to the prophet loudly, but the other person's divine figure was so far away, even further away than the God King.
Stay away from human emotions.
At the last moment when death was imminent, he finally threw away all the dignity and face of the glorious nobles, faced the indifferent God King at the top of the altar, completely knelt down on the ground, and shouted loudly for mercy!
"...Please God King, please God King, please spare my life!... Izel is willing to be your hunting dog and your chariot bearer! I just ask you to spare me, spare this villain!!..."
At this moment, Izel's loud voice begging for mercy and his low posture not only surprised the nobles of the alliance, but also made many martial warriors laugh. Faced with the death divined by the gods, this dishonorable performance really made the Mountain Family
The ancestors were shamed!
"..."
Hearing this begging for mercy, Shulot slowed down his hands and glanced at King Avitt incomprehensibly. The corners of the God King's mouth raised, and he sneered as if he hadn't heard. At this moment, he looked down at Izel and the prostrate man.
On the ground, the glorious nobleman whose reputation has been lost is like a real god sitting high, without any expression.
Shulot understood in his heart that the divination in his hand had finally come to an end. However, just before he finally pronounced his sentence, Izel's next desperate prayer silenced the nobles present and made the God King's eyes flash.
"The Lord God witnesses! The Lord God witnesses! I, Izel, am willing to give half of the Shanluan Family's fiefdom!...I swear! Even for the remaining half of the fiefdom, I am willing to accept the officials sent by the Alliance Central Committee to govern it!..."
"Um?!…"
God King Avit had no expression on his face. In front of the looks of many great nobles, he just shook his head indifferently and responded like this.
"This is the judgment of the Lord God. Everything is determined by the will of the Lord God! It has nothing to do with me..."
"No! No..."
After hearing this cold response, Izel finally lost all his strength and completely collapsed into mud. But Shulot in front of the altar flashed his eyes and quietly changed the sunflower grass in his hand. After a while,
He finally got the divination results and pronounced the verdict impartially with no expression on his face.
"If you get two points in divination, you will get the hexagram, and the corresponding result will be Ze, and you will be punished with blood! Sacrifice your limbs, and it will be decided by the God King!..."
"oh?!…"
God King Avit looked surprised, glanced at Shulot, and then looked at where Izel was. He saw the strong mountain chief suddenly standing up like a trout, and then he fell to his knees with a "pop".
Kowtowing to the God King, his nose and tears mingled together, kowtowing was like pounding onions, and he even broke his forehead!
"Ah! The Lord God is merciful! The Lord God is merciful!… The God King is supreme! The God King is supreme!… I am willing to donate half of my fiefdom and let the officials of the alliance take care of it!…"
God King Avitt was silent, looking at Izel who was kowtowing, and then looking around at the nobles who bowed their heads in silence. After a full quarter of an hour, he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile.
"The Lord God has a thunderous side, but also a merciful side! Since there have been so many trials, He only revealed this bloody punishment and only gave this one possible way to survive...that is, the Lord God wants Izel to live! In this case
, then sacrifice one of Izel’s fingers!…”
"Ah! Thank you God King! Thank you God King! Izel will definitely die for you... Uh! Uh!!..."
The obsidian dagger swung down, and the burning of the holy fire became more scorched. Izel collapsed to the ground again, painful tears and blood drops flowing together. The god king above smiled at the corner of his mouth, declaring as if benevolent.
road.
"Izel, you led the army to defeat this time and let go of more than a thousand Zapotec elites. Your guilt is so great that you must be severely punished! Although the Lord God exempted you from the death penalty, I must carry out justice for your guilt.
punishment..."
"As the God King, I preside over justice! The center of the alliance does not need it, so what fiefdoms do you offer? For the great nobles who were executed before, I will equally divide all the fiefdoms among their heirs, instead of giving them to the alliance royal family...reward
Military merit, punishment for rout, everything must be judged according to the justice of the gods!…”
Having said this, Avitt paused and pondered for a moment, then stared at Izel, who was trying to express his gratitude, and continued to pronounce the sentence.
"Draw out five hundred elites from the warriors of the Shanluan Family and replace them with the Broken Hair Guards! Yes, let's hand them over to Turquoise's new battalion to make up for the losses for him!..."
"The Shanluan Family will reduce their seals by 30%! Officials from the Alliance Central Committee will first conduct a detailed land inspection to verify all the land in the Trocan State, and then choose the location to reduce their seals! As for the reduced lands, they will be distributed to these people in the name of the Alliance Central Committee
Five hundred mountain warriors joining the Broken Hair Guards!"
"Finally, Izel, I allow you to avenge your crime and perform meritorious service! The remaining troops of the Mountain Legion, with 3,500 warriors as the vanguard, march westward until the gates of Mixtec Mountain River City!"
Upon hearing this series of seemingly generous orders, the expression on Izel's face instantly froze. Even the pain of losing his fingers was incomparable to the pain in his heart.
Depriving five hundred elites is tantamount to taking away the most powerful combat power of the Shanluan Family. The central government of the alliance first inspects the land and then reduces the seal. In fact, it is no different from sending officials to govern! And 3,500 people as
The vanguard, all the way to Shanhe City, are completely treating them as cannon fodder!…
"Huh? Izel?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Izel endured the pain and showed deep bitterness on his face. Then, the bitterness quickly disappeared like fading ink and turned into tears of gratitude. He kowtowed three more times and clenched his fist on his left hand.
My chest and heart shouted hoarsely like a vow.
"I obey you, the supreme...god-king! Izel...is willing...to die for you!..."
"Um!…"
God King Avite nodded, with a faint smile on his lips. He looked around at the many silent nobles, and once again tasted the joy of being on the top of the sacred mountain, deciding the world! Then, he stood up, pointed to the mountains in the west, and uttered the final king's words.
make.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Leave five thousand royal regiments to guard Yunshan City and Sheyao Village, and guard against the Zapotec tribes in Oaxaca!..."
"The rest of the army will set off in five days! Go two hundred miles west to the foot of Shanhe City!..."
"Before the rainy season in May arrives, I will completely capture Shanhe City, and use the head of Shanhe Chief Yun Chen and the lives of all the descendants of the gods in the clouds to sacrifice it to the supreme god!..."
"Yes! The Supreme God King!..."
The ominous days at the end of the year have ended, and the new year has begun with cruel killings in the name of the gods. Five days later, the army of the South Expedition to the East broke out of camp and headed west, leaving Yunnan where it had been stationed for more than two years.
Mountain City. And as long as the three southern armies besiege and capture the last Mountain City, the Mixtec Alliance that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years will be completely destroyed!~~
