Aztec Eternals

Chapter 54: win the army

The army simply camped in a sheltered valley. Rest overnight. As soon as it was dawn, Shiloh woke up in the leaking tent. He touched the single clothes on his body, which had long been soaked by the drizzle and dew. Fortunately, the Mexican plateau during the rainy season is quite warm, with a comfortable temperature of more than 20 degrees, so there is no need to worry about the wind chill.

A marching battle is always hard. If there is no strong physique, it is impossible to endure the harsh natural environment, endure merciless pain and fight, and become a qualified fierce warrior. It is even less likely to be a commander-in-chief who bears the commander's flag.

The young warrior roughly brushed his sharp-lined body, put on a sturdy leather armor, and put on a gray-black sacrificial robe. The feather crest was too cumbersome, so he put on the pointed leather hat common to warriors. Finally, tie a fighting stick and a shield on the back, and fasten the long dagger to the waist to maintain a fighting attitude at all times.

Next, the young warrior went to gather his followers and longbow guards, and the warrior chief Bertard was also guarding him.

Today, Avit is dressed up. He wore a mighty beast helmet, a necklace of precious stones, and a whole set of bright red and exquisite leather armor, with a gold sun inlaid on the chest of the leather armor.

In his left hand is a long shield that also depicts the sun, and bright feathers hang from the bottom of the shield. The right hand is a two-meter scepter with a solid gold oval base, about the size of the palm of your hand. In the middle of the gold base, an egg-sized star ruby ​​is inlaid, and six sharp star lines pass through the gem, depicting a perfect "*" star.

Shiroute held his breath for a moment. He asked Avett for a divine scepter and stroked the smooth surface of the star ruby. This ruby ​​must be more than 100 carats, with perfect lines and star marks, almost the same as the most famous Rosleves star ruby ​​in later generations. This will be a treasure that will fascinate the whole world.

"This is..." The boy looked at his friend in surprise.

"The scepter of Montezuma I, inlaid with the largest ruby ​​in the world. This scepter was left to his daughter, my mother Artotostelli II. Before my mother went to the kingdom of God, she It was left to her young son, me."

Avette looked at the divine scepter with emotion, with reminiscence. "It's a symbol of kingship!"

Shiloh immediately woke up from being shocked by the treasure. He looked up and continued to look at Avet's commander carrying the flag.

This new flag is four meters high and has an unusually huge yellow umbrella-shaped dome. The canopy is covered with intricate red patterns and delicate red feathers. On the top is a huge jaguar skull, and in front of it is a bright sun intertwined with black sapphire and topaz. Behind the commander's flag, there is also a row of personal guards holding a gorgeous banner.

"This is the flag of the commander-in-chief, the king's exclusive honor guard!" After recognizing the shape and size of the flag, the boy blurted out. He looked into his friend's eyes and had some guesses.

"That's right." Avit smiled lightly, "This is the king's flag sent from the capital, and it arrived last night. It is the second most honorable blood-colored sun in the commander's guard of honor, second only to the evil spirit commander that the king took away."

"Now, let's take it on the road."

The army immediately set off, and under the guidance of the scouts, quickly marched northeast. Seirot asked Avit to come to Montezuma I's divine scepter and hold it for him, lest his friend be "too heavy". Avit doesn't care, although this divine scepter is indeed bright, but he has already admired it countless times. Right now, he just smiled and looked at Shirlot's little face illuminated by the ruby.

The boy whirled the translucent gems repeatedly in novelty. This is a treasure-level collection of the town hall, and later generations can only be seen in the national museum through the thick bulletproof glass.

Under different light irradiation, different "starlight" will be reflected in the ruby. The surrounding warriors all showed the eyes of worshipping the fetish. This kind of starlight is considered to be the brilliance of the gods, with the protection of the gods and the effect of intimidating people.

After noon, the drizzle gradually subsided, the clouds gradually thinned, and a few shimmers of the sun appeared in the sky. The commander once again established contact with the family warriors in the reinforcements, and the troops were only three or four hours away from the reinforcements.

The leader of this reinforcement is Ketoko, a hereditary nobleman who is loyal to the king. He is the nephew of the chief priest of the capital, Kechar, and has a certain reputation in the army. Tisok loves theology and has always been close to the High Priestess. Soon after ascending the throne, the king promised the chief priest more privileges, and the chief priest's line also reciprocated, sending many noble children to join the army.

Acap suggested to prepare a little: "We can rest for a while and wait for the night to fall. Then we should cooperate from the inside and outside, attack the commanding tent of the reinforcements at night, capture Ketoko, and finally surrender the remaining reinforcements."

Shilot thought for a while and thought this plan was inappropriate: "There are always a small number of elite warriors who can participate in the night attack, and they may not be able to catch Ketoko in time. Moreover, the night attack can easily cause the army to riot and kill each other. Both sides are The Mexica warriors who are loyal to the Alliance, the precious fighting power should not be spent here."

Avit considered for a moment and nodded. He patted Sherlot on the shoulder, then smiled and said to Acap: "It is more appropriate to fight in the daytime. Let's rest for an hour to restore the samurai's physical strength. Then we will go straight to the reinforcements in the march, and I will inform the family. Warriors get ready. This fight will be dominated by momentum and there won't be too many fights."

After speaking, he immediately sent messengers to the northeast.

The Mexica warriors sat down in place, simply used some food and water, and collected their energy quietly. The commander has given orders for the next combat target. Although after countless lives and deaths, they no longer care about life, but the morale of the warriors is still somewhat low. In their hearts, they were reluctant to attack their comrades in the same camp, and they just kept obeying under the commander's prestige.

The rain has stopped, and the sun shines on the ground. Shirot had the longbow warriors prepare their armor-piercing bronze arrows, and if necessary, the longbow guards would deliver a fatal blow.

The 14,000 warriors set off quickly, and the army was like a raging herd, rushing towards the first opponent. When the sun sank slightly to the west, a huge army appeared in Shilot's eyes. Behind the army were loose and bloated militias with luggage and provisions. In front of the militia were eight thousand samurai, roughly divided into three groups: front, middle and rear. Two thousand troops in the front went out to explore the way, four thousand in the middle surrounded the commander's banner, and two thousand in the rear monitored and controlled the militia.

The reinforcement scouts had already spotted the Mexican troops coming from the rear. At this time, the reinforcements in front of ~www.readwn.com~ had stopped, and they arranged their formation slightly, but did not assume a fighting stance. As the two armies approached, the banner of the "King" was clearly reflected in the eyes of every Mexica warrior.

The warriors on the opposite side were a little noisy. They hurriedly assembled from the capital, and then went north to support the city of Hilotepec. They just wanted to open up the logistics line and re-establish contact with the king's army whose status was unknown. As a result, the king actually appeared here?

A new wave of messengers came from the command flag of the opposite central army. The messengers bowed their heads respectfully to the king's flag, and brought the commander's question: "Excuse me, Your Majesty the King, how is the battle in Ottopan, and how is the king's car? here?"

Aveit, who was under the guard of honor, was obscured by a beast helmet. He silently maintained the posture of a **** and did not speak.

Shurot, wearing a gray and black exquisite tengu priest robe, replied with a serious face: "The king of God's blessing led his loyal samurai directly to the south to the Leman River. We boarded the boat master of the alliance and went up the river, first. One step back to the Hirotepec camp. Now we are going to regroup the army and rescue the city-state legions that have been lost in the mountains. Commander Kotoko, please come forward to meet the king."

The messenger raised his head with a slightly surprised expression. The king abandoned the city-state legion and retreated first, which was a major news that shook the alliance. He took another look at the majestic king's guard of honor, the fierce jaguar battle group, and the Tengu sacrificial costume of Shulot, and then resigned respectfully.

Soon, the warriors on the opposite side were slightly disturbed, and there was a chaotic sound. Then hundreds of commanders' guards separated the crowd, surrounded by a commanding flag and slowly came towards the king's guard of honor.

Shulot looked closely, and the flag was vaguely a middle-aged commander. He walked very slowly, always looking at the king's flag here, and carrying five hundred elite guards with him, obviously he had doubts.
