The golden sunlight shines through the swirling divine smoke and falls on the towering "House of Wind" Yakata, like a blessing from the gods. The sacred pyramid then flows brightly, shining with brilliance. The sacred fire on the pyramid burns day and night.
Even now, the grand sacrifices, singing and dancing have never stopped.
However, the war situation gradually overturned, and simple sacrifices could no longer calm the hearts of the nobles. The Northern Army of Mexico quickly moved south, and the well-informed nobles responded.
Chihuaco stood outside the city gate several meters high and saw refugees from all directions pouring into the capital, seeking the strongest shelter in the capital. The refugees lined up in a long queue, but the queue entering the city was constantly interrupted. From time to time
There were nobles, large and small, who were gorgeously dressed and wearing gold and jade. Under the protection of dozens of warriors with family crests, they left the city in a hurry and went to the fiefdom outside the royal capital. Whenever a team left the city, it represented the defending power of the city.
was weakened.
Encountering the nobles who were eager to leave the city, the hummingbird warriors leading the team had angry faces, but they could only stand waiting outside the city gate with their hands tied. The old militiamen looked at the expressions of these nobles, and then looked at the warriors of the chief family, and felt something in their hearts.
Enlightenment.
"When the noble gentlemen leave the city, I'm afraid they will never come back again. These gentlemen are on the run! Could it be that even the fortified royal capital cannot be defended?"
Chihuaco was looking around when he suddenly heard a commotion. A majestic and tall old man in Chinese robes, surrounded by dozens of bronze-axe guards, walked towards the city gate with vigorous steps.
The war has only been over half a year, but Chief Minister Zinzini seems to have aged ten years. His face is full of wrinkles, and his hair has turned completely white. However, his eyes are still firm, and there is a coldness in his eyes. Chief
Approaching the city gate, after a brief glance, the anger on his face became more obvious. Then, he identified a hereditary nobleman who was saluting at the city gate. His rank was just right and he could use his head.
So, the old man in rich clothes pointed his hand and shouted loudly.
"Leaving the city without permission from the king is a betrayal of the gods and the king! Catch him, the descendants of the nobles will be executed on the spot, and the family warriors will be recruited into the army!"
At the city gate, facing the chief's order, the hereditary noble looked horrified. He opened his mouth to explain in fear.
"Chief, there are many nobles before me..."
Next to the old militiaman, the hummingbird warrior leading the team had been paying attention to the chief family master, guessing the family master's thoughts. He was closest to the hereditary nobleman, and as soon as he heard the order, he suddenly pounced from behind. Then, without waiting for the nobleman to say anything, he
After that, he thrust out the spear fiercely and pierced the opponent's heart from behind. The tip of the spear came out from the chest, and blood immediately sputtered. The hereditary noble just said "Ahhh" twice, then fell to the ground and died, like a flower.
Red petals. Then, the surrounding guards swarmed up, disarmed the noble family warriors and took them away.
Seeing this sudden scene, Chihuaco, an old militiaman, shuddered. He looked at the noble nobles who were above him and were casually executed like weeds, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
"It turns out that noble men can also be killed easily..."
There was a moment of awe inside and outside the city gate. Zinzini looked at everyone's expressions, nodded slightly, and gave another stern order.
"Cut off the head and hang it on the south gate for public display! Those who leave the city without permission will be put to death, as will the nobles! Close the four gates, leaving only the south gate for refugees to enter. The able-bodied refugees will be recruited into the army on the spot.
Among them, the young and strong women will be uniformly arranged by the logistics camp. The remaining old, weak and children will be dispersed and left, and they are not allowed to stay near the capital!"
After hearing the chief's order, the surrounding warriors followed the order and left. Then, Zinzini looked at the family warrior who was the first to take action, and his face was vaguely familiar. He didn't bother to remember, but spoke directly.
"You did a good job! If you sign up, you should be rewarded!"
"Dear head of the family, I am Puap from the 'Huitu' family, and I am willing to die for you!"
Hummingbird Warrior Puap knelt on his knees and saluted respectfully.
The chief minister nodded slightly. "Huitu" is the name inherited by civilian warriors, and is also a family warrior who has served the Hummingbird family for generations. He pondered for a moment and spoke.
"It turns out he is the son of Lao Huitu. Puap, from today on, you are a military noble and a warrior captain who can lead a hundred people! However, there are no warriors for you, so you have to recruit them yourself. I allow you to promote the militia and become a warrior.
that power!"
Speaking of this, Zinzini glanced at the militiamen following him. His majestic gaze passed by, and the militiamen bowed their heads at the same time. Chihuaco also felt cold in his heart and lowered his head.
"Puap, you are a warrior of the Hummingbird family for generations. I have a task for you! You lead a team of warriors to intimidate and appease the tens of thousands of Tekos militiamen scattered in the city. Of course, there will be other warrior teams working with you.
Cooperate. Remember, these tribesmen are rebellious and often harass them everywhere. If necessary, use the decisive measures you just used!"
Upon hearing the reward, Puap was overjoyed and kowtowed five times on the ground. Then he raised his green and red forehead and accepted the order with a fierce expression.
"Master, follow your orders! If the Tekos people dare to disobey orders, I will take off their heads and build them in front of the tower of the Moon Goddess!"
The chief minister stared at the fierce hummingbird warrior for a while, thought for a moment, and continued.
"Okay! Puap, I believe in your bravery! However, we need to rely on these Tekos tribes to defend the city. You go and get a batch of food and wine, and the country woman goes to comfort you. I want the hounds to obey the orders.
If you want to be beaten with a whip, you will also be rewarded with two bones!"
After hearing this, Puap bowed his head respectfully and paid homage. The chief minister took a final glance at the swarming ants outside the city, then strode away and returned to the highest "Palace of Winds".
It wasn't until the chief's figure disappeared from the distance that Puap stood up and glanced around fiercely. Then, he proudly raised his head and looked at the militiamen behind him.
"The Supreme Chief has just appointed me as a military noble, warrior captain! You are lucky, there are only a dozen warriors in the team now. Since you have all been in battle, I will give you a chance to become a warrior:
I am loyal, and from now on, you can also call yourself a samurai master!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! All the militiamen looked at Chihuaco together, and Puap also followed his gaze with some surprise. The old militiaman was slightly in a trance, thinking in his mind
He always remembered the chief's last words, "Reward the country girl." It wasn't until Puap shouted in dissatisfaction that the old militiaman reacted. He thought for a moment and fell to the ground.
"My great noble lord, Chihuaco pledges allegiance to you! From now on, you are the tallest corn stalk, and we are all pumpkins under your feet. We must die before you!"
Seeing the old uncle kneeling down, many militiamen also fell at Puap's feet one after another, calling him "noble master".
Hearing these popular flatteries, Hummingbird Warrior Puap burst out laughing. He stretched out his hand, imitating the movements of noble men, and held Chihuaco's few remaining hair. Then, he looked around contentedly and shouted loudly
said.
"Let's go to the logistics camp! Let's give each of you a country girl first, and then we can have a good time with food and wine! Then come with me to deal with those Tecos barbarians. Wait until we defeat Mexica.
Man, there are many good days ahead!"
Puap's laughter floated in the winter sunshine. He was the corn at the bottom of the mountain, feeling only brightness and warmth. But at this time, the chief minister was the green pine on the top of the mountain, feeling infinite desolation and chill.
In the majestic "Palace of Winds", Zinzini looked at the royal murals, hid his fingers in his sleeves, and silently calculated the strength of the troops in his hands. The incompetent "Crocodile" lost the river mouth fortress, and the Mexica army rushed southward.
Reinforcements from Lake Chapala are still halfway there.
Now, he only has the last 1,500 royal warriors in his hands who can obey the instructions of the palace. The priests have a thousand temple guards stationed near the "House of Wind" pyramid, unable to command at all. As for the size of the capital,
It is estimated that there are slightly more than a thousand private soldiers left in the nobles' palaces. These noble private soldiers are also difficult to command, but they were forcibly surrounded by him and guarded in the city.
"Based on this, the total number of warriors in the capital is less than 4,000. The royal warriors need to suppress the city, and neither the temple guards nor the noble private soldiers can be mobilized. The capital has completely lost the ability to go out for field battles... Damn it,
The Russians should be killed! Five parts of the body should be sacrificed to the gods!"
The chief's eyes were slightly red. Then, he remembered the situation of the militia in the capital and breathed a sigh of relief.
After urgent promises and recruitment, the southern Tekos tribe once again sent 15,000 militiamen, who had already rushed to the lake area last month. He sent 5,000 of the Tekos militiamen and 500 royal warriors to the north a hundred miles away.
The Huayamo Fortress at the capital was used as the outermost defense line of the royal capital. Then, he recruited the remaining 10,000 Tecos militiamen and entered the capital to garrison. At the same time, after piecing together, the Lake District recruited another 10,000 people who could only defend the city.
There are militiamen, including white heads and young men.
"At this moment, there are 20,000 militiamen in the capital to help defend the city, as well as food and grass collected from all over the lake area. Relying on the tall city wall and sufficient food, we should be able to hold on for several years!"
The situation deteriorated rapidly. Faced with the crisis of the kingdom's destruction, Zinzini no longer considered the future development. He had sent warriors to completely plunder all the villages and towns around the lake area within three to five days. All grains were confiscated and all young women were sent into the army.
.The prosperous villages and towns were reduced to scorched earth, leaving no usable food and people for the Mexica people!
Thinking of this, Zinzini closed his eyes again, his thoughts were surging, and his heart was like a knife. Outside the capital, the villages and communities were all empty, and decades of hard work were ruined. In the capital, the chiefs of Tekos married into the royal family.
My dear daughter, the tribesmen are stealing and harassing everywhere, causing chaos in the prosperous capital... The eyes of the chief minister are red, and the murderous intention is in his heart again.
"The Russians should be killed!... Damn it, the fortress at the mouth of the river was lost too quickly! The Mexicans quickly went south and cut off the northern passage, and all arrangements were ineffective!"
Jinjinni calculated silently, and the situation in the kingdom that he had been thinking about day and night was clearly reflected in his mind.
The thousand warriors sent to the Akambalo State fortress complex were separated from the capital before they could play a role in raiding. At this time, there should be nearly 3,000 warriors and more than 10,000 militiamen in Akambalo State.
But they could not safely transfer back to the capital. These northern remnants must be under the supervision of the Mexica people. As long as they leave the fortress, they cannot withstand the assault of five thousand Mexica warriors.
At the Huayamo Fortress in the northern lake area, the five hundred royal warriors and five thousand Tekos militiamen stationed could only barely resist for a while. His original plan was to gather reinforcements from the Chapala Lake area here, and then move the army northward to the mouth of the river.
The fortress is relieved.
Under the persuasion of the royal elders and under the condition of the king's autonomy, the Chapala Lake area with a population of 600,000 truly mobilized. The nobles of all sizes gathered 10,000 warriors and 20,000 militiamen, and a total of 30,000 troops marched along the Sacap State.
They headed south inland. It seemed that in two weeks, the reinforcements would arrive at Huayamo Fortress and join the army in the capital. However, the Mexica captured the river mouth fortress and were stuck in front of Huayamo.
"'Crocodile' should be killed!...'Feather' should be killed too!!"
Zinzinni can figure it out clearly without the need for a scout report. "Feather" Pengguari seems to be heroic and courageous, but in fact he is very scheming and only cares about immediate interests. The Chapala Legion led by him must be stationed in Sa at this time.
A certain location in Cap State is watching the development of the situation. Once the Guamar dog descendants from the north move south and the Chapala Lake area is threatened, the Chapala Army may directly withdraw north and completely escape the decisive battle that will decide the world.
"Send an envoy with my seal to the Chapala Army in the north! Urge 'Feather' to come to the rescue quickly. In addition, I promised Pengguari that as long as he arrives in the lake area in time to contain the Northern Army of Mexico, I
Just betroth the late king’s direct princess to him! He should understand what this means!”
Upon hearing this order, the family guards opened their eyes in shock.
"Chief, this kind of approach...for the king...should never be done like this!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Zinzini’s cold face.
"It doesn't matter. This promise will always have to wait until the war is over before it can be fulfilled. And by that time, all the chaos will be borne by me alone!"
The family guard was silent for a moment, with tears in his eyes. Then he bowed his head solemnly and saluted, and left solemnly.
Zinzini looked at the murals of condors and hummingbirds, smiled slightly, and showed a cold expression again. A new batch of orders were issued again, and his voice gradually became louder.
"Send an envoy to the east and inform the king of the latest war situation in the north in a low-key manner! In addition, I can't make any mistake in relaying my advice: Your Majesty, when the fire breaks out, the wind should stay away. Let the wildfire sweep across and burn the weeds outside the city.
Corn and even cocoa, as long as the divine wind is still there, new seeds will always be sown!”
"An envoy was sent south again, to the mountainous state of Huetamo State, and begged to harass the Mexica people's retreat. They also promised the prince to enfeoff and betrothed to the royal princess!"
"Send a divine envoy to Tlaxcala to inform the four alliance leaders that the Kingdom of Tarasco can no longer hold on for long. Once the kingdom is destroyed, they will have to resist the Mexica alone. The kingdom implores allied allies to mobilize
Army, come to your aid quickly! In addition, inform the priests and elders of Cholula that the Kingdom of Tarasco is willing to convert, respect the holy city of Cholula, and serve the Nahua gods!"
"Finally, send the divine envoys to the Mixtecs in the south, the Zapotecs in the southeast, the Huastecs in the northeast, the Totonacs in the east, and even the weak Trapanic! Tell them that if the Kingdom of Tarasco
If they are destroyed, the Mexica people will inevitably dominate the world! If they don’t want to sink under the war sticks of the Mexica warriors and bear endless tributes and sacrifices, they must resist now!"
"Tarasco does not expect them to bravely raise troops to attack, but at least they must stop paying tribute to the Mexican Alliance! Such a fierce war with a scale of 100,000 people cannot last two years even with the national strength of the Mexicans!
After this battle, no matter how big or small the country is, we will all be brothers!"
Zinzini almost roared, shouting out the final instructions, and a strange flush appeared on the chief minister's face. He gasped for breath, waved his hands to drive away the surrounding guards, and no longer maintained his majestic posture. After a long time, he looked at the last
The mural suddenly smiled brightly.
"After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Hummingbird will cease to exist!... If the Condor can survive, I will live up to the trust entrusted by the three generations of ancestors. I will fall with a smile on my face and my soul will forever be in the abyss of the earth!"
