Aztec Eternals

The team escorting the prisoners swaggered past the west gate of Hilotepec City, then circled the city from the south gate for half a circle, and finally went to the directly affiliated legion camp outside the east gate.

Along the way, the cheers of the warriors of the Mexica city-state shocked the entire city of Hilotepec. Seirot saw many priests with feathered capes and richly dressed nobles ascend the city gate, and hurriedly observed the captives in the Mexica procession.

Kassar asked the Ottopan city-state reinforcements' flags to be thrown at the gates of the cities, and then let the captured nobles of the Otomi people shout under the city, telling the failure of the reinforcements.

The defenders at the head of the city became noisy and restless, and the number of guards on the city walls also increased. Shirott could clearly feel that after losing hope of reinforcements, the morale of Hilotepec City was rapidly decreasing.

While showing the prisoners of war walking slowly, Casal had already asked the messenger to inform the king of the good news of his triumphant return. He came to the east gate camp in full clothes, but in the drizzle, he did not see the envoy who warmly welcomed the king, and he did not see the king himself who welcomed him in the highest imagination.

At that moment, Shirot felt anger flash from Casal's face. The accompanying Mexica military nobles were also a little dissatisfied.

The king despised the warrior, and the warrior's heart was loosened. Sherlot thought.

Kassar handed over the captives, and then disbanded the legion that set out on the expedition. During a major battle, the warriors needed to repair damaged leather armor and replace the worn out obsidian sharps on their battle sticks. Afterwards, Shilot followed the corps of officers headed by Casal and entered the king's tent.

The king is sitting on the high platform, wearing a formal black yao stone feather crown, wearing a golden sun embroidered dress, with a carmine red cloak behind him, carefully figuring out an old wooden board in his hand. Shulot could not see the pictures on the wooden boards, but such wooden boards are generally used to record mythological stories.

Next to the king is a strong man with broken hair in military uniform and a cold face, the commander-in-chief of the army, Totek.

Totek glanced over with the same cold eyes, and the officers bowed their heads one after another, greeting the king and the commander-in-chief on the stage, and Shulot did the same to avoid looking at Totek.

Tisok raised his head, put down the wooden board in his hand, looked at the returning officers, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This battle was fought very well. A lot of prisoners were captured." Tissock did not ask about the details of the battle and casualties, but said to Totec who was beside him: "As soon as possible, arrange for someone to send the prisoners back to the capital and hand them over to the capital. To the high priest of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan."

Afterwards, Tisok explained a few words to the officers, agreeing with the fearless battle under the blessing of God. Then he changed the subject and asked, "Now let's assess the ranking of the merits of this halfway ambush."

Hearing this, Cassar was going to give a reply. But I saw Tisok waved his hand gently to stop him. Then he waved slightly to Shirott.

"Come on, Shirot, tell me. The people who are watching will always know better."

"Me?" Sherlot was surprised for a while, then felt a lot of pressure, and the officers in front all turned to look at him. Casal and Barda stared at him rather fiercely, Avit had a natural smile on his face, and Totec's eyes were as cold as knives. And then the king's expressionless face.

After thinking about it for a while, remembering the conversation with Avit yesterday, Shilot stammered and replied: "The first attack was Kassar's decisive victory, and then it was Barda's support. I just watched the battle on the top of the mountain, no What a credit."

Casal and Barda had satisfied smiles on their faces, and Avit quickly blinked in approval. Tisock raised his eyebrows slightly at first, as if he was a little surprised. He finally smiled when he heard it: "No need to say more about the last sentence, everyone knows that you are just going to watch the battle."

After speaking, the generals also burst into laughter, and the atmosphere returned to harmony. Tisok asked Casal, "Cassar, do you have anything to say?"

Kassar raised his head proudly and said proudly: "Blessed by the sun god, the victory of this battle is that I led the decisive assault of the jaguars, and defeated Otomi's samurai group in a moment. Of course, Barda The attack was also powerful and effective, and the Otomi people were defeated as weakly as turkeys. In the end, Avit's persistence attracted the enemy's frontal attention and provided conditions for the attack."

Next to him, Barda also patted his strong chest vigorously, expressing his approval.

"Okay." Tissock glanced at Avit, who still smiled as usual. "Then, in this order, reward the three commanders Chinampa, Feather Cloth, Cotton Cloth, and Slaves. Jaguars also have rewards. Ordinary warriors are promoted."

The crowd discussed the details of the reward.

Immediately, Tisok looked at Avette's face again and said with a smile: "My dear brother, you have persevered this time. At the same time, for more than a month, you have also been very effective in teaching Shulot. What extra do you want? Reward, do you want to continue the work of intelligence and security?"

Avit's face turned solemn, and he said sincerely: "The work of intelligence and security is related to the safety of the descendants of the sun god, and it has always been decided by the king. No matter who you use is your will, it has nothing to do with gain or loss, where can you act? Reward? I just stood on the top of the mountain this time, and in the end I didn’t get much results. As for Shulot, I’m not his teacher, I just treat him as a friend and junior, and tell him about his life experience. ."

Hearing Avit's comments, Chief Commander Totec nodded in agreement.

Tisok smiled and nodded noncommittally. Xiulott vaguely tasted a hint of danger, and now he has more understanding of politics.

In Central America, where there is no strict patriarchal succession system, sometimes brothers inherit the throne, sometimes children inherit the throne, and important priests of the royal family also have the right to inherit.

The human heart does not have a fixed bias, and it is easy to compromise with the winner of the political struggle. Every transfer of the throne is accompanied by a cruel and **** wind.

Tisock has been on the throne soon, and his prestige has not been fully established. One of his eyes was on the divine power's control over the human heart, and the other was staring at all potential threats. Even his own brother, even a teenager.

Shiloh was still thinking hard, but unexpectedly his eyes were already fixed on him.

"Shirot, what do you think, do you want Avette to continue teaching you?"

"Eh? Think about it. The Avit people are very good, and they are also good to me." Sherlot said honestly.

"Oh. Since that's the case, then, Avette, you should continue to teach Shulot."

Seeing Shurot's simple reaction, Tisok smiled slightly, and then asked unintentionally, "Shirot, I heard that after this war, more than 100 warriors decided to follow you?"

In Shilott's heart, an alarm bell immediately rang out. He nodded. "Yes."

"Then why do these warriors follow you?"

"It should be because I presided over the funeral after the war and guided the souls of the dead. Some people think that the victory of the battle has something to do with me."

"Well. Teotihuacan is the tomb of the gods, the bridge between life and death, and the place where you were born. So, Shirot, tell me, can you really communicate between life and death and the soul of the deceased?" Thoke's sharp gaze fell on Shirlot's face.

As a theologian, it seems that Tissok should not doubt the ability of priests to communicate with God. Shulot quickly weighed, if he answered "no", then the previous funeral was just a meaningless form. The answer would then surely be publicized, and the hearts of the new samurai followers would be dissipated immediately.

And if he answered "yes", he would probably be further questioned by the king, and would increase the king's suspicion and fear. If you are associated with astronomy again...

From the corner of his eye, Shulot glanced at the cold and tall Totec. The oppressive gaze of the other party is also on him.

Since it's not good whether it can or can't, Shilot can only helplessly answer: "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Tisock frowned, asked with some surprise and some seriousness.

"Yes. When the funeral was held, I couldn't directly see the sun **** or the kingdom of the dead, and I couldn't communicate with them." With a puzzled expression, Shilot tried his best to recall the contents of his previous supernatural novels.

"But I can feel a hazy white light, as far as it is close, vast and vast. Not with my eyes, but with some kind of consciousness beyond my senses, like a dream in my sleep. The white light rose from the dead body like smoke, and then merged into the white light group. Then the white light left and flew away to the sky. Then I woke up and could no longer see the trace of the white light. UU reading www. uukanshu.com”

"White light? White smoke?" Tisok frowned, "When did you see the white light?"

"The part of summoning the gods. It's just that I can't communicate with Bai Guang or Bai Yan. Maybe it's because I'm just an aide, and the priest's ability is far from enough." Xiulote said embarrassedly.

The theologian king fell into deep thought, and his hands clapped gently on the throne. Shilot's words obviously disrupted some of his original plans. The boy's expression that did not seem to be fake made him really believe in the existence of Bai Guang and Bai Yan.

Most of the commanders in the tent looked at Shulot in amazement, but the smile on Avit's face became more sincere.

Tisok came back to his senses and said with a normal expression: "Shirot, your theological knowledge needs to be supplemented. Tengu priests are also a type of fifth-level coyote priests, belonging to the Grand Master of Tenochtitlan. Temple. You've been a coyote priest of Tenochtitlan since you were given the tengu attire at Teotihuacan."

"When this expedition is over, you and I will go back to Tenochtitlan. The chief priest of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan, Quetzal, will be very happy to teach the descendants of the holy city of Teotihuacan. Perhaps, the two high priests of the country can be merged into one in your hands."

Hearing the words of the two high priest groups uniting into one, many officers exclaimed in amazement and looked at Shulot with envy. That is the pinnacle of theocracy, two groups with the most lofty right to interpret myths.

Tissock tapped Shilot at will, and drew another elusive distant vision. Then, without waiting for Shirott to reply, the king waved his hand and told everyone to retreat.

"When will the young eagle get rid of its shackles and fly freely in the sky?" After walking out of the tent, looking at the vast and boundless sky, Shilote longed for it.
