Chapter 551: Battle of Tree Snake City, Oath of the Gods
"Um?!"
The raindrops were rustling, disturbing people's hearts. The fight just now seemed long, but in reality it was only half a quarter of an hour. At this moment, dusk came in the heavy rain, and the city was disturbed by the shouts of killing. And the dim skylight fell on Texi.
Whit's suddenly changed face showed a bit of shock and depth.
"What did you say?"
The burly turquoise general took a sudden step forward. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Travitt's collar with force.
"Damn it, tell me clearly!"
"...Ahem!"
Travette felt a pain in his chest and couldn't help coughing. He took a few deep breaths, looked at his wife behind him, and answered in a low voice.
"There is another hidden reason behind your master's death... I can tell you everything I know! But you must swear to the Lord God to let Chichipati and me go!"
"Haha... let you go?"
Hearing the words of the cloud snake hunter, Texihuite raised his eyebrows, his heart was extremely irritable, and his murderous intent was almost boiling. He had been a little uncertain about the death of the legion commander... The burly general sneered, without hesitation,
Just hit him with one punch.
"boom!"
"Well!"
The brave cloud snake hunter groaned, and blood started to flow from his nose. The heavy rain fell on his face, and then fell into his mouth, bringing a strong taste of blood. Travito gritted his teeth
, tightened his lips and refused to say a word. The other party's violent performance was very different from his previous calm fighting style, which showed that he was confused and worried.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Texihuite punched the Cloud Snake Hunter three times in a row, hitting the Cloud Snake Hunter with a bruised nose and swollen face. Chichipati burst into tears, but failed to get the desired response.
"Praise the Lord God! Kill them!"
The shouts of the Mexica warriors are getting closer and closer. The large group of alliance warriors have spread out and are cleaning up the remaining enemies in the city. I am afraid that it will not be long before warriors from the royal family or other city-states arrive. By then, these noble prisoners will
They were all handed over to the king as sacrifices during the capital's great festival.
"Despicable archer!"
Texiwhit suppressed the fire in his heart, stared into the other person's eyes, and shouted angrily.
"Quick, tell me! Everything about that night attack!"
"Ugh... you swear to the Lord God, let us go!"
The cloud snake hunter opened his mouth to answer. His mouth was swollen and his voice was a little garbled.
"..."
Tessie Whitt pursed his lips, raised his left hand, and punched like a rock again.
"boom!"
The cloud snake hunter received a heavy blow to his chin, causing a concussion on his brain. The unbearable pain came instantly, causing him to scream in agony.
"ah!..."
"Are you going to tell me?"
Texihuite's eyes widened, like a tiger looking for someone to eat.
"ha!"
The cloud snake hunter was sweating profusely from the pain, and his face was twitching, but he tried his best to raise a smile.
"You...swear first..."
"...damn it!"
Texiwhit roared and raised his fist again. He looked at the Cloud Snake Hunter who was almost knocked unconscious, paused for a moment, and then slowly lowered his hand. He stared at the Cloud Snake Hunter fiercely and thought.
After a while, he finally made a promise amidst the shouts of death nearby.
"Huh... despicable archer! Tell me everything you know! If the death of the legion commander really has nothing to do with you, I will let you go!"
"You...swear! Let me and my wife go!"
The cloud snake hunter gritted his teeth and demanded stubbornly. For traditional warriors who value honor, an oath is a guarantee worthy of belief.
"...The Lord God witnesses! I, Texihuite, swear by the honor of a warrior! And you must also swear by the gods!"
Texihuite clenched his fists, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and spoke word by word.
"You, tell me everything you know about that night attack! If the death of the legion commander has nothing to do with you, I will let you live!..."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The cloud snake hunter struggled to smile on his bruised and bloody face.
"Witness the cloud snake! I, Travit, swear by the honor of a warrior, what I say next is the truth!"
"Say it!"
"Hoo, ho... That night, I saw the arrows aimed at your master coming from the side and rear of the military formation."
Travette gasped and recalled the scene of that night. Although only more than half a month had passed since that rare victory, it suddenly felt like a lifetime ago.
"And at that location, I didn't see the tree snake guards who attacked and killed me, and I never sent an attacking team before!"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Texihuite's expression changed, and he was uncertain. The waves in his heart were turbulent, like floods hitting rocks, making waves.
"go on!"
"...After that battle, I took the warriors back to Tree Snake City. The city chief rewarded the warriors for their meritorious service, but I searched the remaining Tree Snake guards and couldn't find the archer..."
Travit glanced at the other party's gloomy face and carefully organized his words. The heavy rain blocked everything, and his low words could only be heard by the two people who were close to him.
"Over the past few days, I have thought carefully about it. It was very dark that night, and your family leader was wearing thick armor and was protected by a military formation. Even with my shooting skills, it was difficult to hurt him..."
"The person who can shoot an arrow through his neck must be very close and have great shooting skills! He shot this precise arrow from an angle where the guards were not wary... and the timing of this arrow,
It just so happens that the sky is getting brighter, and the Mexican Army has stabilized during the night attack. Even if the general is killed, there is no risk of collapse..."
"...Excellent shooting skills, very close distance, no precautions, perfect timing?...The head of the family..."
Hearing this, Texi Whitt suddenly froze and stood on the spot. The suspicion hidden in his heart was confirmed by the words of the cloud snake hunter, and suddenly turned from flood into fire, burning fiercely in his chest. His face
There was no drastic change in expression, but his eyes became increasingly red, filled with deep-seated hatred.
"You mean?..."
"That's right! The person who shot your master to death must be one of your own in your legion! And he was a ruthless and outstanding hunter!"
At this moment, Travette was not completely sure, everything was just inferences and conjectures. However, his face deliberately showed a look of determination and confidence, so that Texi Whitt could see it.
"..."
Tesiwhitt took two steps back, lowered his head and lowered his eyes. He waved his hand, and the dozen or so guards around him, who had been waiting for a long time, swarmed forward. The warriors aimed their spears at Travitt's vitals, and then
Chichipati and the remaining people were also surrounded.
"You!...you swore!"
Seeing this scene, Travit's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the copper ax that fell on the ground, a sharp copper spear was pressed against his neck. Travit's heart trembled, and he looked at Silence
The turquoise general shouted loudly.
"Damn it! Glorious Mexica warrior! Could it be that...are you going to violate the oath of the gods and abandon your glory?"
"..."
Texiwhit was silent, thinking, and not saying a word. The heavy rain fell, messing up his hair, wetting the corners of his eyes, and hitting his face. The sky gradually dimmed, and the sky was illuminated by the western sky.
The mountains were swallowing him up, just like his heart... After a while, the burly turquoise general raised his head and said in a hoarse voice.
"Travit, the sacred fight is a fight to the death. And you lost to me in the fight just now."
"Ah You!"
Hearing this, Travit's heart was shaken. The sacred fight was also the oath of the gods... A sad smile gradually appeared on the cloud snake hunter's face, and there was already a will to die in his eyes.
"I can die here...but you promised me to let Chichipati go!...She may have my child..."
"Haha... He is a lover, and he is also a warrior..."
Texiwhit's eyes flickered, and he looked at the Cloud Snake Hunter carefully for a while, then nodded slowly and repeated the words again. Then, he spoke in a low voice, with deep meaning.
"That's it! Travit, I can let you go today. However, the sacred fight is a fight to the death... If you lose, you owe me a life!"
"...Tesihuite, I owe you a life. Let me go, and when I leave the descendants of the god descendants...I will...pay it back to you."
The wind and rain were shrill, and the screams were faint. The cloud snake hunter pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and said the other party's name for the first time.
"Okay! The Lord God is witness!"
Texihuit looked solemn, clenched his fists on his chest, and prayed to the gods devoutly.
"Cloud Snake Witness!"
The cloud snake hunter looked solemn. He glanced at the beautiful god-born girl, raised his left hand with difficulty, and made an oath loudly. This was the promise of the two noble warriors in the old times. They still maintained the traditional style, that
It is the promise of the Flower War.
"Remember your oath, Archer!"
Texihuite nodded and left the last words. Then, he took a deep look at the other person, turned around, and walked towards the city without looking back. Behind him, a dozen Suanmu people
The guards looked at each other in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Tesi Whitt and left together.
"call!..."
Seeing the enemy leaving, the heroic cloud snake hunter took a long breath. His whole body relaxed, he almost lost all his strength, and collapsed in the wet soil.
"Woo!...Vito!..."
Drenched all over, Chichipati threw herself into the arms of the cloud snake hunter, hugged his strong chest, and began to cry loudly.
"...Patti, don't cry. We have to find a way to slide down the city wall with a rope under the night and heavy rain. The road ahead is still very difficult, so we have to conserve our strength..."
With the support of several personal guards, the cloud snake hunter hugged his wife and stood up with difficulty. He stood in the narrow and deserted alley, turned around and looked back, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar city-state.
The burly Mexica general disappeared in the cascading rain. The towering pyramid temple stood in the fierce heavy rain. And tens of thousands of Mexica warriors were pouring into the city, killing wantonly and passing on the centuries-old tradition.
The noble one wiped it off. After a moment, he sighed heavily.
"Hey! Mexica... Tlaxcala... Farewell, tree snake city!..."
The sky faded from the west and night slowly fell. The capital of the Tlaxcalans fell before the wind and rain, and then faced the end in the wind and rain. Although the fire in the temple never ignited, the cruel conquest would not stop. The people in the tree snake city
The fighting continued all night long, with warm bright red splashing in the rain and spreading along the rain until it disappeared into the soil.
Fresh vitality flows into the earth, noble souls go to the Kingdom of God, and the sacred bloodline will be cut off in ruthless killing. This is the destruction of the Tlaxcala people, and it is the beginning of complete assimilation and national cohesion. The great unification
The seeds sprouted in the fertile soil of watering, but they used flesh and blood as a sacrifice, like a myth sung in the wind!
