Aztec Eternals

Chapter 68: wither

After running for about two quarters of an hour, the battlefield finally appeared in front of him.

Shulot climbed the nearest mound and looked down. Four or five hundred meters away, Totec's tall and burly figure appeared again. He was leading more than 30 imperial guards forward, assaulting the royal warriors who were blocking the formation, and behind him was Tisok who was guarding by more than 50 imperial guards.

The young commander frowned. He saw the specific situation of the battlefield, but he couldn't say that these royal warriors did not work hard.

They formed a dense shield formation every three hundred people, mainly for defense. Seeing Totek leading the guards to charge over, he tried to avoid the fierce charge as far as possible, and consumed Totek's stamina. Waiting for Tisok's back team to approach, he went forward and repeatedly entangled, forcing Totec to return to help. Ten shield formations alternated before and after, constantly harassing.

To put it bluntly, this is still a way of biting by a pack of wolves, constantly attacking, consuming the opponent's physical strength, and capturing the prey with minimal casualties.

Occasionally, Totec would rush into the shield formation, strike a few times quickly, knock down the squad leaders in front, and then retreat before being attacked by the group. He wouldn't get too far from the supporting guards to prevent himself from being surrounded by front and back. Once surrounded by dense battle formations, losing speed and space, the unparalleled hero can only hold on for a moment.

Every effective attack will consume a lot of his physical strength and add some new wounds to him. But it will also make the shield array in front stagnant and chaotic, losing command for at least a quarter of an hour.

To break through this layer of obstacles, either the speed of the assault exceeds the speed of the shield formation, just like what Totec is doing now, he has already left more than half of the shield formation behind him. If his physical strength is enough, in another half an hour, he will be able to completely break through with the king.

Another way is to entangle until it gets dark. When night falls, the dense shield formation will fail, making it difficult for the military formation to cooperate. In the night battle, the individual combat power of the samurai is amplified, and with the ability of Totec, the breakthrough is easy.

Sherlot beckoned, Bertard nodded, the two of them had a plan, and the plan was simple and rude.

The warriors continued to march in place, and when the low bow sounded again, it was impossible to break out of the encirclement.

Totec stopped. He turned to look at the mound not far away. Two hundred meters away, the longbow pointed straight. The commander in the cape stood in front, the little samurai who rescued Avit. Next to the dwarf warrior are three old rivals he is familiar with, Stanley holding a giant shield, Bertard holding a long bow, and Orosh holding a spear.

"Tisok, surrender!" The boy took off his helmet, revealing a handsome and determined face.

It took so much effort, of course, not for the doomed king. The boy's eyes were always on Totec, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Totec also looked at the boy. His body was covered with blood that could not be dissolved, his face was full of dust, and there was an unconcealed exhaustion between his brows, but his face was always like a rock.

No matter how difficult the situation is, the firm will will never give up!

Seeing Shirott's face, Totec was only slightly surprised, and then the only thing he thought about, he recalled his identity as a boy. His eyes were immediately sharp, and then he bowed slightly, breathing quickly, saving his strength. Then move forward slowly, poised for action, like a jaguar ready to hunt.

Only by capturing the young man alive is the only hope of getting out of trouble!

"It turned out to be your little wolf dog! It turned out to be you!" Amid the large shields of the guards, Tisok suddenly realized and shouted loudly.

During the two days of fleeing south, he repeatedly deduced the failure process of this civil war, but he still failed to understand the context of the matter.

Why did Avit suddenly appear in the mountain camp? Why is Ketoko's reinforcements in Avet's hands? Why did Husok's Legion defect at the most critical moment? Now, he finally thinks he knows the whole truth of the matter.

"It turns out that the black hand behind the scenes is the old fox Huter! The old fox and the poisonous snake colluded together!"

"The sinister poisonous snake bit me, the treacherous coyote bit me, and now the little wolf dog that doesn't even have teeth will bite me! Say, who else?! That old poisonous frog in Kechar is Didn't you betray me too?"

The appearance of Sherlot seemed to shatter Tisok's last sanity, and madness occupied his eyes again. He waved the scepter in his hand excitedly, and the calmness of the warrior disappeared from him again.

"Tell my brother that this little wolf dog is a threat to his throne, that he is the reincarnation of Montezuma. Sooner or later he will die at the hands of the old fox and the coyote! Only by killing them..."

Tisock shouted at Stanley, the madness made him lose his mind, but it still didn't get rid of it, his scheming engraved in his bones. Perhaps imagining the beauty of the enemies killing each other, the divine scepter he waved excitedly deflected the shield in front of him, revealing a clear gap.

"Shut up!" Shilot couldn't bear Tisok's slander and provocation towards his grandfather, father and Avit any longer. He waved his battle stick angrily, and was about to abandon his original plan and ordered the longbow warriors to fire in a volley, no longer worried about the possibility of accidentally hurting Totec!

"Whoosh!" A sharp lightning flashed with a strong sound that broke through the air, with a slightly rounded arc, passing through the gap opened by the shield in an instant, and entering Tisok behind the shield, the king instantly lost his voice!

Bertard's longbow trembled, a clear and proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he watched his shooting contentedly.

When Totec heard the voice, his heart trembled. He changed the angle of force and rushed towards the king, but it was too late.

With a vibrato, the long arrow squeaked and slanted into Tisok's throat. Then the long arrow with huge kinetic energy slanted down all the way through, tore the king's trachea, and cut his right common carotid artery from the inside. A large amount of blood spurted out from the neck and poured into the adjacent trachea.

Tisock was speechless. He fell on Totec's arm, trying to breathe hard, but he could only breathe out a big mouthful of blood. Under the triple pain of choking water, suffocation, and blood loss, the king struggled for dozens of seconds, and finally released his hand, and the divine scepter fell to the ground, gaining eternal liberation.

Bertard's smile froze. He was aiming for the eyes just now, so the process would be quick and the king wouldn't have too much pain.

Stanley said with admiration: "As soon as the commander said shut up, the samurai chief shot Tisok in the throat, which is really comparable to the **** of hunting! This is the first feat of this battle!"

Stanley's impression of Bertard has changed dramatically since he faced Totec together two days ago. He believed that although the other party came from a poor family, he was indeed a warrior no less than himself. Between warriors, they should cherish each other.

Olosh curled his lips: "I can't do such a thing with a shot in the throat from 200 meters away! You must be a lame tiger catching a blind rabbit. It's pure blindness."

The quiet vicissitudes of life warrior blushed. He just looked up at the sky and ignored the envious crowd. The midday sun rose high in the sky.

Although the three powerful warriors were deeply moved by Tisok's death, they did not have much trouble in their hearts. The warriors are full of pride and only yearn for a wider sky!

However, not all warriors yearn for the future, and some people have left their beliefs and oaths in the past.

The battlefield was silent, the old king was dead, and everything was over.

Totec held the dead king, blood spilled all over his arm, and flowed down his arm all the way, across his body, until the mud under his feet.

Everything will return to the earth, just as he swore.

Totec was motionless, like a frozen sculpture. He lowered his head, and Shirot could not see the expression on his face. The guards next to them also lost their movements, like dead trees that have lost their vitality.

The boy waited for a while and saw that the sculptures were still motionless. He decided to take the initiative.

"Totec! Tisok is dead! I will give him a glorious and grand funeral! I will hold a sacrifice for him to lead the kingdom of God! Come and help me!"

It seems that this sentence flipped a switch, and Totec finally slowly bent down. He put the king in his hand on the ground and gently closed the other's eyes widened in pain. Then with a little force, he pulled out the long arrow stuck in the king's throat.

He finally took off his double armor and cut his inner shirt with a long copper dagger, tearing out long strips of cotton. The sharp dagger cut through the muscles of his chest, and a trace of blood oozes out. His surface didn't change at all, just slowly and steadily wrapping the wound on the king's throat, and tidying up the king's remains.

The boy's words got stuck. He stopped talking, just watched this scene quietly, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Totek got down on one knee again, and finally gave the king a death-dealing ceremony. Only then did he stand up and face the young man.

Sherlot observed carefully and found that there was no sadness, no anger, no pain, and no relief on Totec's face. Originally cold and ruthless face, now even the temperature has lost, like a lifeless rock.

"My heart is ashes, now I'm in big trouble!" The young man felt bad and was still making his last attempt.

"Totek, surrender! Tissok is dead, and Avet is the new king. We can all serve Avet together! If you surrender, the position of commander-in-chief will still be yours! What do you want? , I can promise you in place of Avit, such as the status of the third-level honorable noble, or get you a wife from the royal family..."

The young man felt that maybe his prestige was not enough, so he made a wish on behalf of Avite, and Avite would definitely agree with him anyway. After all, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. With such a strong general, a powerful assault group can be formed, attacking and killing the opponent's commander in the war, and winning key battles. It will be much easier to pacify the world this way. What's more, Totec's command ability is obvious to all.

Totec just shook his head slightly.

"We can conquer the world together! Tarrasco, Tlaxcala, Otomi, Mistec, Zapotec... We can work together to conquer them all! This It is also the legacy of the predecessor, Montezuma!"

Shulot was in a hurry and spent a long time preparing, but the general just wouldn't surrender. He immediately remembered that the warriors of the previous generation were all teenagers during the period of the predecessor, Montezuma, and that Montezuma had a very special meaning and influence in their hearts. He opened his mouth to compile the will of the late king.

Totec nodded, shook his head again, and finally spoke.

"It was the last will of the monarch, Montezuma, to unite this alliance. He said, I have conquered enough lands, and my descendants will unite this scattered alliance and bring it together into one whole. Reduce the priesthood of theocracy, increase the The control of the city-state and the reduction of the land of the great nobles is the long-term way."

Shulot was stunned for a while. Did Montezuma still say these words? I was also born into the royal family, and I never heard a word of it. He immediately felt a chill in his heart: even if he was as great as Montezuma, once he died and left, all the unfavorable records of priests and great nobles would be silently erased.

The teenager thought for a while, and then persuaded: "Then come and help us! If we want to inherit Montezuma's legacy and reform this alliance, we still need to conquer the outside world to gain the prestige of controlling the army. You can help us, come Accelerate the realization of this great future!"

Totek did not speak, he thought for a moment before answering.

"My duty was to protect the king, but I didn't do it."

"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have recommended Avett as the commander of the Southern Army under the siege of Ottopan, which gave him a chance. I should also dissuade the king and prevent him from rashly choosing to fight Avett. Such a complete failure. I should have found out Hursok's identity sooner, but I didn't. I should have protected the king and went south, and I'm still not done."

"I made an oath of protection, and now the oath is not fulfilled! I took the responsibility, and now the responsibility has failed! As a samurai, what can I say? Then there is only one death."

Totec's voice finally took on ups and downs, and his low self-talk echoed in the heaven and earth, with an unshakable will.

The boy finally shouted anxiously: "Do you leave the king's corpse alone? Who will pick up his soul? Do you also leave your comrades in arms? Are you letting them die?"

Totec nodded when he heard the words: "Thank you for reminding me."

He looked around at the last 80 hair-cutting guards: "After I die, you are not allowed to kill yourself. You must be loyal to the new king! This is the last order!"

The guards just knelt down on one knee in silence, bowing their heads and accepting orders.

Then, facing the young man, Totec said seriously: "The king's body will be handed over to you. The king is Avit's second brother, and Avit will definitely give the king a glorious burial for the reputation of the new king. .

The king should not forcibly surround the city of Ottopan, which makes people distracted, attracts the interference of other tribes, and also makes Avit take advantage of the situation. This is the root of all failures, but unfortunately I can't persuade him.

After this war, the Ortomi people have been severely damaged, and they are no longer a threat to us. You can sign a contract with them to rescue the captured samurai. If you don't want to talk about peace, then just use your trebuchet to shoot down the city of Hilotepec. They can't threaten us across the mountains and forests. Stop besieging the mountain city of Ottopan!

If the new king is ready to conquer foreign countries, he will either go to the Mistecs and Zapotecs in the southern cities, whose wealth can satisfy nobles and warriors. Or fight the isolated Tarrascos in the West, whose copper mines can make the country strong!

Don't go to Tlaxcala first, there is a pond where birds live. Throwing a stone will startle the birds in the sky. They would call in reinforcements from the Nahua and Mistec. The Holy Cholula will eventually choose to support them when they feel threatened. The king of the Tarrascos is far-sighted and will certainly lead troops to the rescue.

This ancestral scepter is very important to Kechar. UU reading www.uukanshu. com If Avit needs Kechar's support, he can use this scepter in exchange. If you're going to deal with Kechar, put it away.

Finally, the first emperor said that after a person dies, the soul will go to the kingdom of God in the first place, and no one needs to guide him. There is one such ritual, but it is a means used by the priests to control the mind.

After I die, please bury me simply, no need to mark, and please don't hold sacrifices..."

Xiuluot was shocked in his heart. Totec, who seemed to be cold and stubborn, turned out to be like a mirror!

That's why he was a little scared. Without Tissock's restraint, let Totec play, I'm afraid that he and Avit will eventually die without a burial!

Totec finished saying what he had buried in his heart for a long time. His face finally had the breath of life, as if he had broken free from some kind of shackles that had imprisoned him for many years, and he finally gained inner freedom.

He finally raised his head, looked at the beautiful clouds in the sky, and showed a vivid smile.

"A warrior is like a withered flower:

The flower withers naturally, I remember its beauty,

I should also die peacefully, leaving my beauty behind.

Because flowers never covet the beauty of the world,

She will only be on a beautiful day,

Choose to die peacefully...

"

After saying the last sentence, Totec raised the bronze dagger in his right hand and gently slid it over his neck. He let the bright red flow quietly, quietly looked at the distant sky, smiled, showing the surprise of seeing the memory, and then fell to the ground silently.

The young man stared blankly at this scene. Before he knew it, tears fell from his eyes.

This is the withering of flowers, in the most beautiful season. This is the death of a samurai.
