The dead silence of the quiet room is shrouded in darkness, expelling all life. The distant divine smoke curls around, allowing the soul to go to the kingdom of God. And through the ceiling of the quiet room, you can see the lightless night, and even the stars are watching.
of disappearing.
"Squeak..."
The wooden door opened gently, and the shadow walked in silently. Through the dim light of the corridor, he quietly looked at the sleeping old man. Then, he took two steps forward, squatted down, and took a closer look at his breath.
"call..."
Chevali, who had always had a sculpture-like face, finally let out a low sigh. He stood up and solemnly saluted the body of the high priest. Then, he left silently again, taking away the yellow pottery cover.
clay pot.
The wooden door closed again, and time flowed in the darkness. It was not until the night was deep, almost midnight, that a middle-aged guard came quickly, ready to serve the high priest to rest.
"The head of the family..."
The personal guard Ewa stood at the door and called out respectfully. The door was quiet, and there was no response. A faint divine smoke floated out from the crack of the door, without any light, just like the shadow that hit the heart.
"Master?..."
Guard Ewa frowned. There seemed to be no candles in the room? He was a family warrior from the Holy City. Similar to Etalik, Hervey, and Esco, his family had served the Holy City royal family for generations, proving that several
Only after he had shown loyalty to others could he serve as the High Priest's assistant. At this moment, he felt a chill in his heart and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, so he decisively pushed the door open and entered.
A faint glimmer of light came from the candlelight in the corridor, illuminating the small quiet room. The old high priest was lying on the ground, motionless, revealing his full head of silver hair. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, making a long
It’s a sweet dream that brings a smile to the corners of my mouth.
In front of the high priest, there is a table. On it are placed an empty bowl, two burnt sacred smokes, and an empty jar. Further on the wall, there is an extinguished candle, silently
Witness everything.
Eva was stunned for a few breaths, and then he let out a panicked scream!
"Master!"
He fell to the ground suddenly, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and touched the tip of the high priest's nose. He waited expectantly for a long time, his face slowly showed despair, and finally he screamed sharply.
"Someone! Come quickly! Something happened to the high priest! Hurry!!..."
Chaotic footsteps came from all directions. A dozen family warriors who were personal guards arrived first. When they saw the scene in front of them, their faces showed unbelievable shock and fear.
"what happened?!"
Ekart, the captain of the guard, came in a hurry. He had just been inspecting the guard posts and defenses of the warriors outside the mansion. Everyone lived in the city of Cholula and had no regard for the nearby Tlaxcalans and the so-called Toltecs.
He was filled with deep disbelief and vigilance. Seeing this scene in front of him, Eckardt was stunned on the spot. Soon, his eyes widened and he shouted sternly.
"Who is it? Who killed the high priest?!"
"That's what it was like when I found it. The high priest didn't have any scars on his body, his face was green and he was smiling, he must have been poisoned! ... And on the table there were burned out sacred smoke, and all the potions he drank were Cholula.
Sent by the priests!"
Eva gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. With tears in his eyes, he complained angrily.
"The high priest was poisoned by Cholula's priests!"
"ah!"
Hearing these words, the eyes of the family warriors instantly moistened. Their honor and disgrace were all tied to the Holy City. To murder the high priest was to murder their elder!
"The priests of Cholula dare to poison the high priest!..."
The evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to think about it anymore. The high priest came to negotiate and pressured the elders, but was poisoned by the divine smoke and potion... The guard captain Eckart instantly understood everything, with fire in his eyes. From the beginning,
He has never trusted anyone in Cholula City!
"Damn it! Damn it! These evil demons should go to the abyss!..."
"what to do?!"
"Send an envoy to rebuke the Cholula priests and find out the murderer?"
"Damn it! They are all murderers! Kill them out and kill all the evil priests here!"
"You must quickly inform His Highness Shulot in the south! Then send someone to inform the capital!"
"No! The most important thing right now is to take the body of the high priest out!..."
Many family warriors discussed quickly and quickly came up with an idea, but they couldn't argue about the order.
"Dang!...click!"
Eckart, the captain of the guard, pulled out his copper ax fiercely, gave it a sharp blow, and cut off a corner of the table.
"Shut up! We Mexicans only rely on the weapons in our hands to do things, so we don't need words!... Now, the high priest of the alliance died here, at the hands of the Cholula people
! Everyone in this city must be buried with him! Kill all the bullshit priest families and the bullshit priests and elders, cut off their heads, and pay homage to the high priest!"
"Dang! Dang!"
Hearing the words of the captain of the guard, the warriors pulled out their copper axes one after another. They turned their grief and anger into boiling murderous intent, and then shouted fiercely.
"Sacrifice to the high priest! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"God bless you!"
The captain of the guard, Eckart, shouted sharply, his eyes burning. He made a decision and issued the order as the captain of the guard.
"Ewa, I will give you fifty warriors to send the high priest's... holy body back to the southern camp! Please His Highness Shulot quickly send out the legion to attack Cholula City and avenge the high priest!"
"Yes, captain of the guard! I will risk my life to deliver the high priest's holy body!"
Guard Ewa bit his lip, clenched his fist and swore.
"Okay! We also need an envoy to go to the capital..."
As he spoke, the captain of the guard, Eckart, moved his eyes. He looked at the shadow Chevali, who was wearing a black cloak. He was said to be the elder's personal guard. He was trusted by the high priest and was always with him.
"I will rush back to the capital immediately and report back to the elders and the high priests."
Shadow Chevali lowered his head slightly and saluted.
The captain of the guard, Eckart, nodded in return. He had never doubted the other party, because the other party was someone whom the high priest showed his trust.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After arranging the two groups of messengers, he gritted his teeth and looked out the window at the moonless night sky. The night sky was dark, with only starry candles near the Great Pyramid.
A fire broke out in the temple. And the magnificent man-made mountain towered not far away, but it was still separated from the inner city.
Eckart narrowed his eyes, looked at the towering inner city wall, and shook his head sadly.
Most of the priests and elders lived in the inner city, but with the number of warriors in his hands, it was difficult to break through. He turned his head again and looked around the bustling outer city. Many bonfires were lit in the noble mansions of wood and stone. And in the mansion
In between, there are large tracts of thatched huts and thatch sheds. If a fire is set...
"The remaining one hundred and fifty warriors will follow me!"
With a determined killing intent, Eckardt clenched the battle ax in his hand. He was so hard that veins were visible on his arms.
"After Ewa sets off, all bring torches! In groups of ten, set fires everywhere in the outer city to drive the civilians to flee! When you encounter a small group of enemies, try your best to kill them! When you encounter a large group of enemies, temporarily avoid them!
.Blessed by the Lord God! Go ahead and do it, let the city of Cholula turn into a sea of fire to avenge the high priest!"
"The Lord God bless you! Avenge the high priest!"
The Mexica warriors present all shouted. Then, everyone no longer hesitated and took action quickly.
The personal guard Ewa carried the body of the high priest on his back and tied it carefully to his body. Under the escort of fifty elite warriors, he immediately set off and headed to the southern camp fifty miles away. Afterwards, Shadow Chevali saluted,
After taking a deep look at the Great Pyramid in the shadow, it disappeared into the deep night.
After another half moment, the captain of the guard, Ekart, waved his hand suddenly, and more than a dozen teams of Mexican warriors scattered. Soon, blazing flames ignited in the outer city of Cholula, accompanied by roars of grief and anger, and fierce determination.
Charge to the ground!
"The Lord God bless you! Avenge the high priest! Kill!..."
"...Bless...Revenge!..."
Fierce shouts of killing came from far away from the outer city and reached the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Peter was resting in the side hall when he heard the faint sound and suddenly woke up.
"Huh?! What happened?"
The priest leader rubbed his dizzy old eyes and reluctantly got up from the bed. He smoked some top-quality sacred smoke, communicated with the gods, and had a sweet dream, half asleep. In the dream, he was sitting high on the pyramid of the great temple.
Above, below are the crawling Mexica moths. The moths shouted devoutly and praised the name of the new high priest, that is...
"Ugel?!"
When Petel recalled this, he was immediately startled. How could it not be his own name? He turned his head and looked out of the city from the high pyramid, and saw the gradually rising flames burning in the south of the outer city.
! And he listened carefully, and finally heard the content of the cry clearly, which shocked him!
"Blessed by the Lord God! Avenge the high priest!...Kill!...Kill!...Kill!"
