Chapter 939: The Feathered Serpent Priests Retreat
The setting sun sets over the West Sea, like a bright red fireball, gradually melting in the water. Half of the melted flames turned into the reddish blood in the sea, and the other half turned into floating fire ships. In the end, these bright fires and dim blood
, all reflected in the eyes of the warriors and sailors, melting into the most realistic death and the most distant kingdom of God!
"The sunset on the sea, the battlefield of blood and fire... O Sun-Feathered Serpent! This victory is only short-lived, and only death and the Kingdom of God are destined for eternity..."
The Quetzalcoatl priest Pap, wearing a feather crown and a sacrificial robe, stood on the bow of the longship, looking at the battlefield and the sunset on the sea. Under the attention of a group of warriors and sailors, he raised the magic staff in his hand high,
Shout out the declaration of victory.
"The sun god rises from the seaside and sets from the seaside! Quetzalcoatl takes away the death of the enemy and brings us bright hope! Praise the gods! We defeated the cruel Mexica and also defeated the despicable people.
Disloyal person!…”
"Blessed by the sun and the feathered serpent! Praise the gods! Victory blessed by the gods!…"
Following the priests' announcement, boiling cheers rang out from the huge Eastern fleet, shaking the entire seashore and eclipsing the Kingdom's legion on the shore!
After this sudden battle on the water, the kingdom's fleet was forced to retreat to the shore, and the Eastern Alliance occupied the burning battlefield. They could calmly salvage, rescue their own floating wounded soldiers, capture the enemy's prisoners who fell into the water, and count casualties.
of numbers.
Judging from the losses in this battle, the Kingdom's navy suffered six to seven hundred casualties, seven to eighty war boats, and nearly one-third of the casualties! The Eastern fleet led by the feathered serpent priest Pappu,
Only three or four hundred men were lost. The fleet burned a number of war boats and captured a number of small boats from the kingdom. The real losses were three burned Mayan galleys.
Judging from the casualties on both sides alone, this sneak attack and decisive battle carefully planned by the Pap priests is undoubtedly an epic victory! And for the Eastern Totonak Alliance, which has been defeated successively, this one
This rare victory is even more inspiring!
"The Sun and the Quetzalcoatl! This is a rare victory! But that's all... I have planned for so long, tried every means, gathered so many big ships, and carefully selected this battlefield... What I want is not just to defeat
The Mexica navy must completely defeat the opponent and completely cut off the Mexica's water transportation!... Because only in this way can the situation of the war be improved..."
Feathered Serpent Priest Pappu pursed his lips, with a confident smile after victory on his face, but his heart was as heavy as the distant mountains.
The Mexicans responded so quickly and their support was so powerful. The betrayed seaside tribe was so desperate and willing to fight for some seaside alliance. All of this was completely beyond his expectation, and this sneak attack in the decisive battle only gained 100 points.
A tactical victory, but it cannot change the strategic situation of both sides...
"The Mexica's arson rockets and the demonic flames that ignited the big ships... After finally gathering ten big ships, three of them were burned down in one battle... The enemy has the ability to set fire to the ships. How long can the Eastern Alliance maintain its maritime superiority?
What? Once the waterways are unable to be controlled and the enemy's supplies are cut off, who can resist the Mexica Army on land?"
Feathered Serpent Priest Pappu lowered his eyes and maintained a victorious smile, but he truly felt despair in his heart.
These ten large ships include a total of eight Mayan galleys and two kingdom longships. One of the Mayan ships and two longships came from his raid on the Mayan caravan and the kingdom's exploration fleet. The other four Mayan galleys
, came from the forcible recruitment of Mayan caravans by the Hidden Snake Holy City.
Only the last three Mayan ships were built with great difficulty by the shipwrights of the Eastern Alliance in the past six months! And the technology that can build these large ships came from the Mayans captured during the raid on the kingdom's exploration fleet.
Shipwrights, as well as the merchant shipwrights recruited. Therefore, these ten large ships are the most important dominant force among the coastal navy under his control, and they are also the confidence to suppress the Mexican navy!
"The Mexica have begun to besiege the city of Sacrificial Lake... The chief priest of the holy city, the venerable Atlcoyotltzin, issued a decree to defend to the end, and sent the priest elder Tezozomoc to supervise the battle in the city
!…But no one is sure of holding on to Jihu City. Once Jihu City cannot be defended, it will be the turn of the final Hidden Snake Holy City!…”
Thinking of the enemies coming like a tidal wave, Quetzalcoatl Priest Papp was worried, anxious and helpless. This decisive battle at sea was personally issued by the chief priest Atko Yotelsin after summoning him. It was also a battle of high hopes.
Waterborne raid.
In the Totonacnahua language, "Atl" means "ocean and water," "coyotl" means "land and territory," and "tzin" means "sea and water."
He is the "noble one". The chief priest, Atko Yotelsin, is the "most noble one in the seaside land", the chief priest who is closest to the gods. In other words, he is the entire Eastern Totonak Alliance.
, the de facto spiritual leader, the religious leader who resisted the Mexica invasion!
Among all the nobles of the Eastern tribes, the chief priest of the seaside, Atko Yotelsin, as the "most noble man of the seaside land", also has the most determined will to resist. He not only summoned the noble chiefs of the various tribes, but also formed an organization of the Eastern tribes.
The allied forces of the tribe personally launched a divine war against the Mexica people, and generously took out wealth and sacred objects from the temple to reward the noble chiefs and warriors in the tribes!
The feathered serpent priest Papu fled and resisted all the way, escaping from the ancient city of the feathered serpent into the holy city of the hidden serpent, and then regained a foothold. Then, he personally led the fire in Coyote City, delaying the march of the Black Wolf Legion.
He also fell into the eyes of the chief priest of the seaside for the first time. Six months ago, he led seven to eight hundred warriors to raid the kingdom's exploration fleet with only four ships left, successfully captured two longships, and established a rare
War exploits!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And when he returned to the Hidden Snake Holy City to report to the elders of the priesthood about the collusion between the Mayan caravan and the kingdom's fleet, the chief priest of the seaside publicly
He praised him and established him as the "divine priest" to fight against the Mexica invasion! Immediately afterwards, the chief priest of the seaside personally gave him a decree and asked him to thoroughly investigate the "collusion" between the Mayan business group and the Mexica people.
, to expand the scale of the liquidation: confiscate all the property of the Mayan caravans, and forcibly requisition all the ships and sailors!
"I have confiscated the property of all the Mayan merchant fleets, and forcibly commandeered the ships and sailors. Behind these merchant fleets are not only the Mayan states, but also the elders in the Hidden Serpent Holy City... I have offended hundreds of miles to the east.
The various Mayan city-states cut off the financial resources of the elders and killed so many Mexica people... No matter it is the east, west or seaside holy city, there is no way out for me to retreat!..."
The feathered serpent priest Pap lowered his eyes, his face full of bitterness. The chief priest of the seaside valued him, promoted him, and appointed him, a fleeing feathered serpent priest, as the captain of the navy of the holy city... It was because he thought he had no way out,
With a strong will, can you fight the Mexicans to the end?
As a former priest and elder in the Feathered Serpent City, he knows the thoughts of the chief priest of the seaside. In the entire Totonac seaside, the most noble chief priest is the spokesperson of the gods. He is the most noble person who is least likely to surrender and will never escape.
Maya!
If the warriors and minor nobles surrendered to the Mexica, they might still be able to save their lives, and even regain control of the tribe and power in some seaside alliance. The large nobles could carry their belongings, warriors and servants and flee to the central Mayan tribes in the east.
Even if you go to the lowland Maya in the north or the mountain Maya in the south, you can at least have a prosperous life...
And only the chief priest of the seaside, who symbolizes divine power, can neither surrender to the enemy nor flee to foreign countries! For the chief priest Atkoyotersin, his noble source of power is the holy land of faith and is pious.
The Totonac tribesmen have fertile seaside soil at their feet! Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave Totonac. Even if the Holy City of Hidden Snake falls, he will flee deep into the inland jungle to seek support from the Zapotec people.
Continue to resist until the end!…
"O Sun and Quetzalcoatl! The revered High Priest of the Seaside has no retreat! He used me as an obsidian dagger to swing at the strong armor of the Mexica people. He didn't care about my loss, and he also thought that I had no retreat!..."
The setting sun fell over the sea and night slowly enveloped the Eastern Navy. More than two thousand people from the Eastern Navy began to return, and the water village where they were stationed was just dozens of miles away in the east, in a bay under the Fireworks God Mountain. There were more people there.
The tribal warriors have just come from Hidden Snake Holy City for support, and they want to shed their last blood for the gods and their descendants!
"The chief priest has issued a divine decree! For the sake of the gods and to resist the Mexica evil spirit, shed your last blood!..."
Priest Papu stood on the long boat heading east, silently looking at the dark sky, which was the shadow of the Fireworks Mountain and the direction of the Hidden Snake Holy City. At this moment, the smile on his face was as cold as solidification, and the waves in his heart were
It surges like a tidal wave.
"But...do I really have no way out?...The words of that person, his promise to escape death...Damn it! Bless the gods! Please guide me in the long dark night! Or maybe...it is the blessing of the Lord God?..."
