Chapter 491: Siege of Shuigu City, Black Snake Escapes
"Shuigu City! Broken!!"
The city was covered in bright red, blood flowed widely, and the smell of death was everywhere. Boiling shouts were heard under the south city wall, accompanied by the cheers and howls of the warriors. Soon, a large group of bronze-armored archers poured into the city, followed by several
Thousands of canine warriors control the entire city wall in their hands.
"Kill! Kill these warriors! Leave no one alive among the nobles of Tlaxcala!"
"Witness the God of Hunting! I will die here in battle!"
In the southern city, the fierce fighting continues. The heavily armored warriors are like unstoppable arrows, constantly charging into the city! The scattered Tlaxcala warriors, dozens of people, formed a small formation and are still tenacious.
Resistance. Most of them have the blood of nobles, inherit the glory and hatred of their families, and are unwilling to surrender to the Mexicans easily.
In fact, due to the blood feud between the two sides, even if the warriors surrendered, it would be difficult to save their lives, and they might end up being sacrificed.
"War...God of War is supreme! Warriors of God of War, we surrender!"
The Mexican legions continued to pour in. The Tlaxcala warriors were still fighting, but the militiamen in the city began to surrender. Thousands of militiamen laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground helplessly. They either prayed or prayed.
Wail, cry, or be numb, waiting for the judgment of fate together.
After a month of siege, fireballs, poisonous smoke, thunder, and arrows arrived one after another. Coupled with the threat of evil forces, the morale of the militiamen in the city had dropped to the lowest. At this time, the south city was broken, and the fall of Shuigu City was imminent. Most of them
The militiamen in the city had lost the will to resist and were just waiting to die.
"Drive all the surrendered militiamen to the corners of the city! Don't block the legion's route!"
The captain of the heavily armored warrior who led the team sternly ordered, and then continued to fight into the city without stopping. The kingdom was promoted with military merit, and he had reached the pinnacle of military aristocracy. But if he wanted to go further, he must hunt down the enemy generals and nobles!
"Haha! I, the black wolf Toltec, finally captured Shuigu City!"
The billowing smoke rose again from Shuigu City. The sound of fighting in the wind was mixed with cheers of victory. Seeing the scene in front of him, Hei Lang laughed and was very satisfied. Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered his relatives
guard.
"Go! Tell the good news to His Highness behind you!"
"Yes, boss!...Now, you are the first to achieve success in the Southern Expedition!"
"Haha! Go quickly, stop talking nonsense!"
Black Wolf cursed, but his voice was full of laughter. Then, he looked solemn, with murderous intent on his face, and looked at the red-haired hunter beside him.
"The opportunity to claim the reward has come! All red-haired hunters, come with me!"
Hearing this, the red-haired hunters around them all looked happy and clenched the big bows in their hands.
"Boss, where are we going? Are we going to wash the city? I heard that the nobles of Tlaxcala are extremely rich, and their homes are full of valuable jade..."
"roll!"
The black wolf cursed angrily, then picked up his long bow and strode down the hill in large strides. He started running and shouted sternly.
"The Lord God bless you! Let's quickly enter the city and hunt for some heads of divine descendants before His Highness's envoy arrives!..."
"...Master, the Mexicans have captured the southern city! Shuigu City can no longer be defended!"
Nieka held the battle stick, knelt down in front of the black snake Turcotte, and shouted loudly.
"I'll protect you, get out of the city and flee to the north!"
"Go away! The tombs of our ancestors are all here, and the descendants of the family are also here!"
The black snake Turko's eyes were splitting, and he roared angrily.
"Witness the God of Hunting! This is my land! This is my city-state! How can I escape?!"
"Master, let's go! The land is gone, but it can be taken back. The divine descendant is gone, but it can still be regenerated!..."
Nieka's face was covered with dust and he was in a state of embarrassment. He turned his head and looked at Nancheng where Mexica people were pouring in, his face full of anxiety.
"If you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave!"
"..."
Black Snake Turcotte stood stunned for a moment. He looked at the lost Nancheng, at the warriors who were still fighting, and at the militiamen who kept surrendering, and finally let out a howl like a wounded beast.
"Ah!! I'm not willing to give in!..."
"Let's go! Take the head of the family and leave now!"
Seeing the performance of the family leader, Black Snake Warrior Commander Nieka suddenly understood. He quickly winked at the family guards around him, then surrounded the family leader and ran towards the north city. As he ran, he pulled off the bright war clothes on his body.
Then, several personal guards also hurriedly threw away the conspicuous feather crown of the family master and tore off the gorgeous battle clothes.
Everyone moved very quickly and knew the roads well, so there was no obstacle from the defenders along the way. After a while, the sound of fighting in Nancheng was temporarily far away. In front of everyone's eyes, only the rising black smoke and a large group of militiamen running in chaos were left.
Black Snake Turcotte lowered his head and allowed the family warriors to change his clothes. After a while, the distinguished Lord of Shuigu City turned into an ordinary Tlaxcala warrior. Only then did Black Snake raise his head.
With blank eyes, he looked at the doomsday panic scene when the city fell.
"My land, my family, my city...and my glory..."
"Master! The remaining warriors in the southern city cannot hold on for long. We have two hundred warriors and we must leave the city through the north gate as soon as possible!"
"But...how to go? The Mexican canine team has penetrated deep into the north of Shuigu City, harassing and looting everywhere. If you are entangled by them, and then caught up by the pursuers behind..."
"Master, let's take a boat! There is a naval force from the city-state on the Talsas River outside the city to support us. As long as we follow the river north, we can escape pursuit!"
"Ah? Take a boat!"
Hearing this, Black Snake was shocked. This was indeed an escape route. After getting away from the danger, he gradually recovered from the shock of the city's destruction, and his thoughts began to work.
"Nieka...then, what should we do with the Water Snake Clan Leader in West City?"
"I can't take care of him anymore! Head of the family, Shuigu City has been destroyed, and a divine descendant must be sacrificed to appease the anger of the God of Hunting..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Having said this, Nieka narrowed her eyes, glanced in the direction of Xicheng, and lowered her voice.
"With the gods and warriors of the Water Snake family to attract the attention of the Mexicans, you will be safer..."
"..."
Black Snake froze on the spot, lost his mind for a few breaths. Then, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he looked up to the sky and sighed in front of many family warriors.
"God of Hunting! I feel sorry for the heroic ancestors, I feel sorry for the warriors who fought hard, and I feel even more sorry for the respected water snake Akotel!"
Seeing the true feelings of the family master, the hundreds of family warriors around them all had moved expressions and moist eyes. Nieka was also moved by the family master, squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes, and persuaded loudly.
"Master of the family! This is a test from the God of Hunting and an arrangement from the Mother of Destiny! You are the last hope of the descendants of the Black Snake God. You must remain useful! All our family warriors will die for you!"
"Okay! As long as you are here, there is still hope for the family!"
Black Snake clenched his fists and nodded heavily. He looked around at all the warriors following him and made a concise promise.
"The descendants of the Black Snake will never become extinct... From today on, you are all my people!"
Hearing such a promise, the low morale of the warriors was immediately boosted. The people of the Black Snake represented the identity of the gods, which was the threshold of the ruling class in the Tlaxcala Alliance.
Well, unlike the Mexica Alliance, which captures and promotes prisoners, the Tlaxcala people pay more attention to blood and the origin of warriors. Ordinary civilians are regarded as moths, and ordinary warriors are just lizards. Only those with noble blood flow
Descendants of gods are the noble and sacred "snake"!
After the black snake made a tearful promise, he continued to run away with the warriors without stopping. He turned all the way into Rufeng and did not send an envoy to warn the water snake until he escaped from the north gate.
"Here you are, gather the warriors at the north gate! If you see the Mexicans chasing after you, don't stop and lead them to flee north! We will leave people on the river bank in the north to respond!"
Nieka left a few warriors behind, gave a few instructions, and hurriedly chased the running Black Snake family leader. Shuigu City fell, and the Black Snake family became a rootless tree. It would be good to gather more warriors at this time.
.
The roar of the water and the shouts of killing gradually became smaller. The Talsas River quietly moved southward, passing through the burning city of Water Valley, and then to the farther south. The mountains there were crisscrossed, and it was the land of the Mixtecs.
After passing the cascading mountains, the river turns westward and will go thousands of miles away, flowing through the rising kingdom and rushing straight into the sea!
"broken!"
Black Snake stood by the Talsas River and found the large canoe of the city-state navy. He was about to board the boat when he suddenly stopped and looked to the south in annoyance.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Nieka was panting and chased after him. He asked carefully and looked towards Shuigu City in the south.
"I ran away too fast just now, leaving no manpower behind, and burned the food in the warehouse! Now if we send out dead soldiers, sneak back to the warehouse in the city, and set a fire... I wonder if it will be too late?"
"..."
Nieka pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and whispered.
"Master, I heard that His Highness Mexica...may be someone who can communicate with you."
"Um?"
Black Snake frowned, thought for a while, and understood what Nieka meant. He sighed and shook his head.
"Now that things have come to this, I think they are just flowers in late autumn and cannot leave any traces... Anyway, these grains left behind may be the seeds of flowers..."
The two of them looked sad and stopped talking. Black Snake boarded the boat and looked at the big city in the south. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. After such a blow, he became like a hardened old vine.
Gotta toughen up.
"Nieka, let's go!"
"Master, shall we go to the holy city of Cholula?"
"The Holy City of Cholula?"
"Yes. That is the nearest big city from here, only fifty miles away! In the holy city, thousands of temple warriors and tens of thousands of pious militiamen can be mobilized!"
"..."
The family warriors rowed the big boat and headed north against the current, not daring to stop at all. Black Snake was lost in thought and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he shook his head firmly and said.
"No, we are not going to the Holy City of Cholula! At this time, the priests and elders of the Holy City are unreliable. They still have a way out... The Mexican army is pressing down, and the position of the Holy City will definitely be shaken...
If you go there, you’ll end up in a dead end!”
"Ah? The Holy City sent warriors and priests to join us in the battle with the Mexica people. They also sent envoys to various states to request troops... After doing so much, do they still have a way out?"
Nieka was puzzled. While rowing hard, he looked at the head of the family who had regained his composure.
"Hmph! They would be stupid to think that they still have a way out! These arrogant priests and elders of the Holy City have been worshiped by the moth people for a long time. They always think that they are not ordinary people, and even better than the descendants of gods! Therefore, they
I will also believe that the Mexica people who believe in the Nahua gods would not dare to attack the noble holy city no matter what."
"Ah...arrogant priests and elders!..."
Nieka nodded, thought for a while, and asked.
"Then, where are we going?"
"Where to go?"
Black Snake looked at the sunset in the sky and sighed deeply.
"Let's go directly to the ancestral land of the Tlaxcala people, the unfailing mountain city, the most dangerous of the four cities, the capital of the cloud snakes, the city of Tepetique Patrascala!"
"What? Going to the Cloud Snake City? The family leader, the descendant of the Cloud Snake City, is not easy to get along with..."
"Let's go to the Cloud Snake Capital!"
The black snake looked solemn and made a decision in a deep voice. Then, he looked at the sun setting in the west and the gradually extending night, and spoke quietly. His voice was like the cold wind in the middle of the night, making people's limbs tremble, and like the low voice of a raven.
Ming, with an ominous sign.
"...As for other places, I'm afraid they can't be defended~..."
