Aztec Eternals

The light boat floats up against the Tulsa River, and it takes only half a day to travel fifty miles. The messenger galloped, running between the flat basins, and it took only half a day or so to travel the same distance. As for the dispatch of the army, it will take up to two days to break through the field before the spring ploughing and arrive at the same time.

Fifty miles is the distance from Water Valley City to Cholula City! From the ruined land where flames burn, corpses fall, and gunpowder smoke spreads, we come to the prosperous holy city where flowers are blooming, people are flowing like weaving, and temples are prosperous!

The morning sun is rising, and the bright sun falls on the Great Pyramid of Cholula, as if it fell on the holy mountain built by mortals. The smoke of the gods is lingering, and the pleasant aroma diffuses among the sanctuaries of the gods, bringing the breath of blessings from the gods. At this moment, on the top of the towering holy mountain, in the open sanctuary, more than a dozen honorable priests and elders sat cross-legged, facing each other in silence, looking down without saying a word.

"YoYo!"

The egret chirped in the sky, stretched its long neck, looked at these two-legged beasts also wearing feathers, and circled curiously.

"YoYo?"

"Yesterday afternoon, the Southern Army of the Mexicans captured Water Valley City."

After a long silence, Peter, the leader of the holy city priests, spoke first. He was dressed in formal sacrificial clothes, held a jade plate for prayer, and wore an obsidian pendant around his neck. At this moment, his always kind smile has been put away, and his expression has become gloomy, even a little cold.

"The Patriarch Arcotel of the Water Snake was killed by the Mexicans, and his head was hung on the gate of the Water Valley. The Patriarch of the Black Snake escaped by boat without even notifying us. The holy city sent three thousand warriors to support the Water Valley City, go up Of the hundred priests, only 20% escaped. Now, the 50,000-strong southern army of the Mexicans is only 50 miles away from us.”

Hearing the icy truth from Petel's mouth, the atmosphere in the sanctuary was even quieter, and it seemed that needles could be heard. The priests and elders all sat with their eyes down, motionless, wondering what they were thinking about.

"Tell me what to do now!"

"what to do?"

The deputy leader of the holy city, the elder priest of Queu, gave a cold "hum" and replied in a low voice.

"The sturdy Shuigu City, the city wall six or seven meters high, and more than 20,000 garrison troops, they are so full that they can only defend for one month!"

Petel lowered his eyes, as if in meditation. Hearing this, he knew what the **** old guy wanted to say.

"Twenty thousand defenders, only for one month!"

Quiao stood up, his gray brows shaking. he asked quietly.

"Shuigucheng, how did you lose it?!"

"The Mexicans used some trebuchets and threw fireballs into the city. Then they used some bronze cannons to fire stone bullets at the city's head. Then, under the cover of armored longbowmen, they set up long wooden ladders and threw them. An exploding clay ball. In the end, the heavy-armored axe samurai attacked and directly captured Nancheng."

Elder of the Holy City War, Wizier opened his eyes and replied calmly and accurately. As a war elder, his understanding of the military is the most profound among the elders. As a high-level priest, he will not be intimidated by the false power of the evil god, nor will he be fooled by any divine power, and he can clearly see the battle situation and ask for key information.

"Now, there is no point in discussing the fall of Mizutani City."

Wizier looked affirmative and answered calmly.

"If the Mexicans attack, the holy city of Cholula will never survive. Even if we mobilize all five thousand warriors, recruit ten thousand militiamen, and save a year's food, we will not be able to last a month. What's more, the holy city only has the inner city of the temple area, and there is no solid outer city."

"Damn!"

Hearing this, Priest and Elder Kuai shouted angrily. He slapped the cotton blanket with his palm and shouted out the dissatisfaction buried in his heart.

"If you knew this earlier, why did you rush to join the Tlaxcalans?! Now, the land promised by the Tlaxcalans has been in vain, but the threat of the Mexica Legion is imminent! Inheritance IV Five hundred years of the great holy city is about to be destroyed by the hands of you greedy idiots!"

"Cough cough!..."

The leader of the holy city, Petel, coughed twice, interrupting Quiao's roar.

"Quio, joining the Tlaxcala war is the unanimous decision of the Holy City priesthood, not the arbitrary decision of any individual. And we made such a choice, but also forced by the threat of the rapid expansion of the Mexica Alliance, A decision has to be made!"

Patel paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't forget, a few months ago, we negotiated with the messengers of the Mexicans to join the alliance and retain the status of the priests and elders... What were the conditions that the Mexicas offered at that time?!"

"...Hey! The conditions at that time... Now it seems that it is not unacceptable."

Hearing this, Quiao also sighed. After a while, he replied in a low voice.

"As long as the independence and autonomy of Cholula can be maintained, it is not unacceptable to obey the Mexica king of Trochititlan. As long as taxes can be collected from the transiting business trips, and the people who visit the shrine can be accepted, even if they surrender The population of these lands will not affect our lives too much... As for the high priests of the capital city in the lake, let the holy city of Mexica be the first holy city, and even make the Mexica God of War the main god. .. are nothing but false names!  …”

"fart!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Holy City, Peter, was furious. He stood up suddenly, like a skinny raven, and shouted angrily.

"Submissive to the king of the alliance, wouldn't he reach out and install elders in the holy city?! Abandoning the land population, where do we recruit warriors to guard?! In such a troubled world, there is no warrior protection, and people are wanton meddling, How can it be possible to keep power and wealth?! As for the false name you said..."

Speaking of which, Petel was shaking with anger. He stretched out his hand angrily, and threw the expensive jade plate in his hand to the ground, breaking into several pieces!

"False name, false name! If there is no such false name, how can our holy city, Cholula, guide the various ministries in the world and gain the respect of believers? Quiao, you idiot, remember it to me! We can hold high positions from generation to generation without hard work. , you will be able to enjoy the divine smoke, herbs, Chinese food, beautiful girls... Enjoy the life that the ants can't imagine, relying on this aloof, mysterious and unpredictable name!"

"..."

Facing the rebuke from the leader of the holy city, Elder Quiao's face was blue and white for a while, but he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he sighed again.

"Petel, I know, you're right, it's all for the sake of the elders. However, in such a situation, the murderous Mexican barbarian came to our door with a battle club. One can't handle it well, the battle club Fall, but nothing is left!... You say, what should we do?"

"Humph! What a panic! The gods bless the holy city!"

Patel took a few breaths and gave a low drink, still confident.

"This is the holy city, the holy place of the Nawa gods, and the place where believers in the world believe and honor! No matter how cruel the Mexicans are, they would not dare to kill here! Otherwise, they would not only be enemies of all the tribes in the world, It will also lose the people's hearts within the alliance! And the Mexicans are not a stubborn rock, there is no gap..."

"That's right! The lofty holy city, where are other cities that can be compared?"

"Chief Patel is right! Mexicans, also have scruples."

"Well. At this time, it is still up to you to make up your mind!"

Several priests and elders kept silent, and only then did they open their mouths to express their approval. Quiao also nodded, with more confidence on his face.

Only the Wizier War Elder opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But when he saw the performance of the elders, he lowered his eyes again and silently closed his mouth.

"The gods bless the holy city!..."

Everyone was talking, and the mood gradually calmed down. Chief Patel beckoned, and a dozen pure priestess apprentices came up. With reverence in their eyes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com first lit the big hood of herbs for the elders, then stretched out their arms and carefully held the old priests and elders in their soft arms.

Elder Quiao raised his head and exhaled comfortably. He inhaled the relaxing magic smoke, but still couldn't understand the worries in his heart.

"Chief, the Mexicans are here, how should we respond?"

Chief Patel straightened up, frowning, unable to make up his mind for a moment. But this matter cannot be delayed, it must be done quickly. After thinking for a while, he looked at the elders and commanded in a deep voice.

"The Tlaxcalans are probably not the opponents of the Mexicas. The threat of the Mexicas can only be solved by the Mexicas."

"What's the meaning?"

Quiao was stunned, leaned forward, and looked at the chief.

"Mexicans?"

On the other side, Wizier suddenly opened his eyes, thoughtful.

"I've thought about it, and now the key point, the crisis in the Holy City, is only on the three Mexicas."

Patel thought for a while, and said more clearly.

"One is in the north, he holds the kingship and wants to overwhelm the divine power. One is in the south, he holds the military power, and he wants the kingship. The other is in the west..."

"He holds divine power, thinking of overpowering the king?"

Hearing this, Quiao asked tentatively.

"No! It's not that person. That person is dying, holding a murderous knife in his hand, and he can't touch it at all. Not the more terrifying one..."

Patel narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"It's another person, maybe two people. He looks at theocracy and wants theocracy."

"We are going to separate three people and meet them separately..."Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free to read!
