Chapter 697: The tribes of Golden Bay, Veracruz, news from the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl
June arrives in warm drizzle, infiltrating the coasts of Totonac. The sparse farmland is lush and green, beans have just sprouted, and corn is growing vigorously together with weeds. It is the busy time for farming. However, at this moment, golden
In the Bay City area, villagers from various tribes did not bother to clean up the weeds. With fear on their faces, they gathered in front of the altar of Quetzalcoatl, talking uneasily and even panicking.
Pedestrians fled on the coastal dirt road, and the fleeing militiamen brought terrible news. More than half a month ago, the ancient Holy City of the Quetzalcoatl in the north had fallen to the conquest of the Aztecs!
"The brutal Aztec Legion summoned the demons from the underground volcano! They used the roaring thunder to break the protection of Quetzalcoatl priests! The sacred high priests and the noble divine nobles were all involved in the Legion's invasion
Death. Their blood and bodies were sacrificed to the God of War! Their heads and feather crests were even built into a hill!"
Pap, the fleeing feathered serpent priest, told Chhut, the leader of the Snake Lake tribe and the head of the Lake Snake village. In the Totonak language, Pap means "moon".
The meaning of Chuchute is "water". Both of them have divine names. They are descendants of gods inherited from their ancestors, and naturally they are also within the scope of cleansing by the Aztecs.
"Chuchute, I escaped from the fallen ancient city of Quetzalcoatl and stayed in a nearby village for more than ten days. The way the Aztecs treated the nobles is simply cruel in mythological epics, even the evil gods have never seen it before!"
Pappu was in a state of embarrassment, sitting in the longhouse of the village chief of Chuchut. He clenched his magic staff and recalled the experiences of the past half month, still in shock.
A few months ago, when the Aztecs claimed the refugees of Tlaxcala in the name of their main god and captured the fortified Five Mountains City, the priests of the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl were furious. They were hostile to the belief of the main god and raised their flags.
The flag of Quetzalcoatl called on the warriors and militiamen of all tribes to rely on the mountain camps to fight to the death with the invading enemies! However, no one expected that the desperate resistance of the tribes in the mountains would actually turn out in front of the Aztecs.
It only lasted for more than a month. Before the reinforcements from the Totonac states arrived, the fierce Mexica Legion had already reached outside the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl!
The ancient city of Quetzalcoatl is open on all sides, with no city walls and only a strong and vast central temple as the last fortress. When the Aztec Legion attacked, as an unspectacular mid-level Quetzalcoatl priest, he did not return
He resisted desperately in the temple, but decisively chose to escape at the first opportunity!
At that time, outside the city, there were warriors fighting everywhere. He did not risk taking the road, but quietly hid in the nearby fishing village of Totonac, waiting for the situation to calm down.
"The cruel Aztecs had no respect for the gods in their eyes. They actually set fire under the ancient pyramid! I could clearly see the black smoke from the burning temple of the Quetzalcoatl even from a village more than ten miles away.
See!"
Speaking of this, Pappu's face was filled with uncontrollable fear, and tears could not help streaming from his eyes. If he had chosen the wrong move, he would have turned into ashes along with the priests and elders.
But at this moment, the holy land of the ancient city in the west has been occupied, and the Holy Temple of the Feathered Serpent has been burned to ashes. The feathered serpent priests of various tribes in the west have completely lost their foundation, like bereaved dogs. From now on, these remaining priests of the ancient city may have to
Lower your head and bow under the holy land of Hidden Snake City in the east!
"The leader of the village, with respect for Quetzalcoatl, carefully protected me. A patrol of Aztec barbarians came once, extorted a batch of food from the village, and then returned to the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl.
.At this time, although the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl has fallen, the villages outside the city are still devoted to Quetzalcoatl! But next, next...hey!"
"Dear Priest Pappu, what happened next?"
Under Chuchute's concerned eyes, Pappa paused and sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and preached word by word with unforgettable hatred and the hatred of subversion of noble and lowly people.
"Next, the Aztec army dispersed from the Feathered Serpent City and began to clean up the countryside! Led by the local militiamen who betrayed the gods and tribes, they came to the fishing village where I was hiding again... They, they actually summoned the villagers
, ordered them to destroy the altar of Quetzalcoatl! They actually publicly executed the village leader, and even handed over the village's population, land and management rights to the surrendered
Despicable militia!"
"Hiss!... Quetzalcoatl! The Aztecs are so cruel!"
Hearing this, the leader Chuchut took a deep breath, his face turned pale. He originally thought that the Aztecs came to fight, just to change the object to pay tribute, just like when various tribes fight for hegemony.
.However, listening to Priest Pap’s description at this time, the Aztecs not only wanted to overturn the beliefs of each tribe, but also completely subverted the tribe’s order of hierarchy!
"This, this does not give us any way to survive! All the leaders and city-states will definitely resist to the end!"
"Blessed by Quetzalcoatl! We have no choice but to resist to the end! Those traitors who betray the gods and dare to take refuge with the Aztecs will surely suffer divine punishment and fall into the dark depths of the sea forever!"
Pappu gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely.
At this moment, the Totonac militiamen who converted to the main god of Mexica were leading the Aztec warriors, one after another, violently and cruelly cleaning up the villages outside the Feathered Serpent City. The fleeing Feathered Serpent priests
If he were caught, he would have to be executed on the spot! If the leader hadn't prepared two canoes in advance and sent several clan members to protect him, he wouldn't have been able to escape from Jinwan City.
There are only more than thirty miles here.
"Quatalcoatl, just as the Tlaxcala nobles warned! The Aztecs' conquest was completely different from the previous fighting between tribes! They did not accept the surrender of the divine nobles, and they did not respect the Quetzalcoatl priests.
They want to treat the nobles who command the various tribes as sacrifices to gods and demons! They release the demons in people's hearts, seduce warriors and militiamen, and give tribes and villages to civilians without divine blood. They will even
Give the leader’s land to the most despicable ant people!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Priest Pappu closed his eyes and thought about it painfully for a long time before opening his eyes. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a cold voice from between his teeth,
Penetrating the heart.
"So, Chief Chuchut, don't take any chances and don't expect to surrender! Even if the tribesmen under you survive, you will lose everything, your life and soul! This Aztec war,
It's completely different from the past... This is the battle between the God of War and Quetzalcoatl, the invasion of volcano monsters, and the ancient order will be completely overturned!..."
Hearing this, Chu Chute's face turned pale. There was unconcealable fear in his eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"Dear Priest Papu, in the face of the invasion of the Aztec Legion, the Five Mountains City, the Ancient City of the Quetzalcoatl...the powerful Totonac tribe were all destroyed one by one. What can we, the weak and small tribes, do?
?」
"..."
Hearing this, Priest Papu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. It was not until Chief Chuchut asked again that he responded in a low voice.
"Quetzalcoatl watches everything! Even if darkness strikes from the sky, light will eventually come after the storm... Faced with the invasion of the Aztecs, the priests and descendants of Totonac, in fact,
There is no way out. They will definitely unite, gather the strength of all the ministries, and resist to the end! However, the leaders need time to see their situation clearly. The gathering of warriors and militiamen from all ministries will also need more time..."
"At this moment, the Aztec army was sweeping south and attacking. When I was on the canoe, I saw more than a thousand Totonac troops marching south along the coast.
..It is estimated that they will arrive here in two or three days."
"Two or three days? Only two or three days!"
Chu Chute was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
"In two or three days, the Aztec army will arrive here?!"
"Yes. This is still the most optimistic estimate. When I went south, everything along the way was a mess. It was impossible to resist for too long!"
"Ah! Ah this! What should I do? Priest Pat, what should we do?"
Priest Papu narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at the frightened Chuchute village chief for a while, and then revealed the purpose of his visit in the name of saving him.
"Chief Chuchute, there are only two or three days left. Our families have known each other for generations, and we have always known each other...I will not harm you. In the current situation, if the tribe resists, it will be a dead end.
One. If the tribe surrenders, you will also be dead... The only way to survive is to take your valuable belongings, gather the warriors and men of the tribe, and migrate as a whole tribe!"
"The whole family is migrating? Fleeing to the nearest Jinwan City? There is a wall there. It should be able to hold it, right?"
"...Although Golden Bay City is strong, it may not be able to be defended. Even if it is defended, it will definitely be the front line in the battle with the Aztecs..."
Priest Papu paused for a moment, walked out of the longhouse, and looked toward the distant east. His eyes looked far away, and his thoughts were many and comprehensive. However, at this moment, he was just an ordinary priest who had lost his belonging and fled alone. He must obtain
Only with the help of the tribe can he go where he wants and continue to maintain his respected status.
"So, Golden Bay City is just the beginning of migration, the farther east, the better! I know the way to the east, even to the Holy Land of Hidden Snake City, and only there is the real safety... But for now, we still
Mobilize the tribe as soon as possible, go to the rear of Jinwan City, and hide for a while! May Quetzalcoatl bless you!"
"May Quetzalcoatl bless you!"
The leader Chuchut prayed and stood up. He stood side by side with Priest Papu and looked towards the east.
As far as the eye can see, there are vast jungles and flowing swamps to the east. The low villages of the Totonac people are scattered along the rivers at the heights of the jungles and swamps. And in the distance that cannot be seen, there is a prosperous village.
The ancient city-state relied on the long river that penetrated into the southern jungle and stood beside the winding golden bay.
At this time, the city-state was named after the seaside scenery, called Golden Bay City. In the eyes of the Totonac people, this city-state along the river would continue to worship Quetzalcoatl for hundreds of years.
Until the end of the era comes.
In later history, it also has a more famous name: the arrival place of the conquistador Cortes, the first Spanish settlement in Central America, the "True Cross", Veracruz!
