Aztec Eternals - Chapter 567

The wind goes to the southeast, the rain falls on the valley, the bright red infiltrates the earth, and the corpses lie down in the fields. Carrion-eating vultures fell from the lush farmland, bowing their heads to peck, not afraid of pedestrians; flies and insects in midsummer smelled the fishy smell, gathered in groups and feasted.

Smoke billows from the villages of the Mistec, and roaring fires burn up and douse in the rain. And when the sunny day came, the fire of destruction ignited again, and it did not go out for several days.

This is the prosperous Tewakan Valley. It is located more than 500 miles southeast of the capital city in the lake, 300 miles southeast of Shuigu City, and 120 miles southeast of Huacong Village. It is the most important northern gathering place for the Mistec tribe.

The Salado River (rí) in the south originates from the mountains in the east of the valley. It winds all the way to the south, irrigates the fertile soil of the valley for three hundred miles, and flows through the hinterland of the Mistec Alliance until the dangerous city of Yunshan ( yanhuitlán).

The Salado then joins other streams to join the ríoverde further south. The River Verde continues southwards, twisting for six hundred miles in the Sierra Madre, near the city of Huitzoctli, where it joins the vast North Pacific Ocean. Of course, the Salado River and the Verde River are the names of the colonial era. In this era, they were unified by the Mistec called “the mother river of life given by the rain god”.

The mountains gather clouds and rain, and the valleys breed fertile soil. The river moistens the fields, and the people gather. From the northernmost Huacong Village to the southernmost Zhongcheng, it is nine hundred miles from north to south and two to three hundred miles from east to west. Among them, the mountains and valleys suitable for farming are the gathering places of more than 800,000 Mistek tribes. Among the many Mistec valleys, the northern Tehuakan Valley is the most prosperous one!

More than 150,000 Mistek tribes settled in this fertile valley and established the ancient city of tehuacán.

The star-studded villages are scattered around the city of Shenshi, like kidney beans surrounding corn, for the priests and nobles in the cloud who have been respected for generations. And ten miles to the east of Shenshi City is the more ancient Temple in the Cloud, one of the two holy places of the Mistec people, the Tewakan Pyramid standing in the mountains!

The “Temple in the Clouds”, the Tewakan Pyramid, is not in the city of Shenshi. Similar to the Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon, it is a classical wonder built in the Teotihuacan era and is located in a mountain that is convenient for quarrying. The city of Shenshi is located on the hillside by the river, occupying the vast fertile soil by the river.

In the hearts of the Mistec tribes who worship the gods, the Tewakan Pyramid in the north is the place where the ancient gods lived, and the sacred place in the south, the Temple of Cloud, is the sanctuary of the rain **** Zavi.

Clouds drifted from the south, shrouding the slaughtered valley. On the east side of the towering Shenshi City, a fierce battle is going on.

The various ministries of Mistec produced the dye “Maya blue”, which also admired the blue of the sky. The 3,000-meter Sturk warriors, wearing blue cotton armor and pointed cloth hats, were all over the field, fighting with the two thousand white cotton armored Tlaxcala soldiers. Thousands of warring samurai wielded obsidian sticks and fought on the wet red soil, with dozens of people falling to the ground every minute to their deaths.

At this moment, the noble life of the samurai was withering like the weeds in the field, not worth mentioning.

“Rain God Zavi, bless us!”

“Kill, kill them and go to rescue the temple in the mountain!”

“The enemy can’t support it anymore!”

The brutal fight only lasted for two seconds, and the Tlaxcala warriors couldn’t hold it back. Their number is slightly smaller, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers, and their morale is very low. At this time, it can be barely supported, thanks to the dense formation and the brave leader.

The military leader, Koo, is wearing a moiré leather armor, a tiger-headed wooden helmet, and a gold pendant on his neck, standing behind the Mistec army formation. In the Mistec language, “Kuku” means the blue serpent, possessing the divinity of the cloud. From this name, you can see his respected status.

Gu Ku’s left hand is tied with a blue feathered wooden shield, his right hand is holding a delicate silver-studded battle stick, and behind him is a bunch of bright feathers. The feather bundles are two meters high, filled with green, blue, and white ornate bird feathers, like reeds in summer, swaying high in the army of the samurai, and looking very eye-catching.

Feather bundles are the typical emblem of a Mistec chief, like the banner of an Confederate commander. Like the Mexicans and Tlaxcalans in the north, the Mistec leaders who command the legion will wear more ornate battle uniforms, more feathers, and more obvious signs on their backs.

In the Central American army, as the commander, all the warriors must be able to see it at a glance!

“Kill! Fight for the supreme and powerful God of Death! As long as you make military exploits, you can be promoted to samurai and gain fields in the kingdom!…”

The fighting in the front line continued, and the Tlaxcalans were crumbling, but they never collapsed. The incomprehensible Nawa language shouts floated far away, bearing the name of the gods, as if giving extra fighting spirit.

The military leader, Gu Ku, squinted his eyes and stood on a high place, carefully observing the battle situation ahead. Soon, a middle-aged warrior wielding a bronze spear and fighting hard, came into his eyes. Wearing leather armor and a bronze feather helmet, this middle-aged warrior stood at the forefront of the army formation. Whenever the formation was tottering, he would shout loudly to boost the morale of the Tlaxcala warriors.

“Rain warrior Riki! Go, bring a hundred rain hunters, and kill that feathered warrior! Under the siege of the Mexicans, the lofty mountain temple won’t last long, we must support as soon as possible! ”

“Yes, chief!”

Rain God Warrior Richie fell to his knees and kowtowed like a woodpecker. In fact, his name means “woodpecker” in Mistec. The Mistec people call themselves “people of the cloud”, they like things close to the sky, and naturally they also respect birds. And the **** they most revered was the main **** in charge of the sky and rainfall, the rain **** Zavi.

“Follow me and kill that leader!”

“Woodpecker” Ritchie shouted, and holding his battle stick, he came to the front line of the battle. Hundreds of elite Rain God hunters, all strapped to their shields and holding battle sticks, rushed forward. Behind the hunters are two obsidian throwing spears. They stood still, made threatening bird calls, and then drew sharp spears and aimed them at the leader of the enemy!

Seeing this scene, Tetica, the commander of the surrendering battalion, frowned, and without any hesitation, turned around and ran away. In the Nahua language, the name “Tetika” has no divine meaning, just an ordinary “stone”, just like the “bolt pillar, stone” in the name of the Celestial Dynasty.

With such a common name, “Shutzhu” Tetika naturally wouldn’t have a very high origin. In the Tlaxcala League, which honors the nobles, there is absolutely no possibility for him to gain the power to command thousands of people. And under the new order brought by the Mexicas, he was able to be promoted to the commander of the lower battalion and survived several difficult fights by not being afraid of life and death, daring to fight, and being able to be punctual and flexible.

“Whoosh!”

The ferocious throwing spear volleyed into the air, with a strong power, breaking the shield of the samurai. Dozens of Tlaxcala warriors in the front line were directly shot through by throwing spears, nailed to the soft soil, and let out a shrill scream that was not like a human voice. Then, just counting the breath time, the second round of death spears struck again!

“Whoosh!”

“what!…”

The leader of the army turned and fled. The warriors of the previous team suffered heavy casualties. The Tlaxcala descendants couldn’t hold it any longer. They screamed in panic and collapsed instantly. The remaining more than 1,000 descending soldiers threw away their shields, and threw away their battle sticks. In a panic, they fled to the mountains in the east.

“Haha! The prestigious Mexican Legion seems to be nothing more than that! Quick, quick to the east, chase me!”

But for a moment, the thousands of warriors who had just resisted stubbornly turned into turkey turkeys who were running around and being slaughtered. Goku, the military chief, laughed, complacent.

Today’s fight, defeating thousands of warriors, is a rare feat in the Mistec Alliance. If he succeeds in rescuing the Yunzhong Temple again, then next year’s Shenshi City Lord Tribal Election will be his chance to win!

Yes, compared with the relatively centralized northern ministries, the Mistec alliance in the south is more loosely political, and still maintains a backward tribal electoral system. Every once in a while, the head of the various ministries will be elected to determine the top leader of each valley. Of course, in such a leader election, only god-born warriors with noble bloodline are eligible to participate.

Hundreds of Tlaxcala warriors fled east without resistance. The 3,000-meter Sturk Corps chanted birdsong and chased and slashed excitedly. The bright and eye-catching leader Feather Bunch, surrounded by hundreds of rain **** hunters, kept moving eastward.

The Mistec warriors, immersed in the joy of victory and slaughter, stepped on the corpses of the Tlaxcalans and chased into the rolling hills. This sacred mountain forest is the home of the Mistec souls, how can the evil Mexica legion be allowed to occupy it for a long time?

With such thoughts in mind, the Mistek samurai who were chasing him were merciless and reckless. Soon, the towering temple in the cloud appeared a few miles away, making the joy in the eyes of the warriors add an uplifting piety. The blue-armored Mistec warriors chased and excited, until a particularly sharp eagle whistle suddenly sounded among the deep mountains!
