Aztec Eternals - Chapter 585

The sunset reflects the red sky and warms the earth. Between the sky and the earth, there are tall wooden poles, tied hair, and densely packed heads. More than 800 pairs of wide-open eyes stared in the air and gathered into a group. From a distance, it looks like a “dandelion” fluttering in the wind.

The dandelions cast the eyes of the dead, looking at the heaven and the earth unwillingly. These eyes, falling on the sky, turned into a deep red glow in the sky, and fell on the ground, tens of thousands of prostrate figures. The figures cowered, trembled, stooped, cried, and exposed in despair.

Now, the dignity, order, and traditions of all the tribes are shattered by the copper axes of the Prepecha warriors, leaving only fear carved into the bone marrow, and utterly numb obedience.

The brutal prosecution lasted for half a day, and the subsequent execution was extremely neat. More than 20 hidden noble warriors were finally exposed by the desperate moth people, as well as hundreds of Ding Zhuang who participated in the riot. Then, under the witness of the setting sun, the remaining more than 800 captives, whether Trask nobles, samurai or mothmen, were all pinned to the ground by the spear warriors and executed one by one!

The copper axe was swung, the head was hanging high, the bright red flowed wantonly, and the wailing was harsh and disappeared. When the sun sets, crows chirping in the sky, the square in the center of Babai Town is dead silent, and there is no longer any potential resistance.

The spear battalion commander Pimont held his axe with a rolling blade, panting slightly. There was a strong smell of blood in his nose, and his eyes were red, like a wolf dog of the **** of death. After a while, Pi Meng exhaled, facing the emblem of the main god, and lowered his head.

“Praise the Lord God! He casts black eyes from the **** sky! He takes away the sacrificed souls, carries out the final judgment, and blesses the devout!”

A resounding sound of praise resounded in front of the altar of the Lord God. The spear warriors, blood-stained and murderous, prayed to the emblem of the Lord God. They had just executed the trial and execution, and their eyes were both pale and full of firm piety, as if they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the gods at any time.

After a while, the samurai finished their prayers for sacrifice, and also completed the comfort of their souls. Pimmon straightened his spine again. He looked at the tens of thousands of captives who were trembling and terrified, and gave orders sharply.

“Break them up, all the original leaders of the brigade will be abolished! Reorganize and make a small team of twenty people. The team will have a test, and according to their bravery, the team leader and deputy team leader will be selected!”

After the captives rioted, Pimmon thought for a long time. He made up his mind to completely disperse the captives and disintegrate all the traditional dignity within the tribe.

And a team of 20 people is exactly the capacity of a new catamaran canoe. The two heads of the captain and deputy correspond to the two ships of the catamaran. More importantly, “twenty” is the number of fingers and toes combined, and it is also the largest number that ordinary tribesmen can recognize!

After a while, under the orders of the spear warriors, the fearful and obedient prisoners were divided into teams of twenty. Then, in each team, a simple wrestling competition began, and the strongest two were selected.

“The team leader and the deputy team leader are responsible for managing the subordinates. Regardless of their background, they are the leaders of the twenty people! They are also the team leaders recognized by the kingdom and can talk directly with the kingdom’s samurai!”

Pimen watched for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction. After the leader of the team is selected, the prisoners have a new team. Kingdom Warriors don’t need to deal with individual tribesmen, just go to the leader. In fact, in the previous escort, the samurai’s internal management of the captives was basically equal to nothing.

“Very good! The foreheads of the team leaders are engraved with the emblem of the Lord God!”

Hearing this, the war priests who accompanied the army walked out of the team. They took out a sharp obsidian dagger, deeply carved the pattern of the sun hummingbird on the forehead of the selected captive, and then smeared it with blue dye that can kill bacteria. Tattooed faces are usually reserved for senior warriors of the tribe. And the sacred main **** emblem, not anyone, is eligible to be engraved.

In all parts of the northern plateau, the ritual of tattooing does not have any insulting meaning, or even a rare honor. This kind of tattooing ceremony is incomparable with the tattooing of the Chinese dynasty.

The red sun is slowly setting, and the mountain wind is blowing. Under the supervision of the spear warriors, the selection of the team leader and the tattoos of the priests are constantly advancing. Pimmon stood before the altar of the Lord God, looking at the sacred symbol, and was silent. He thought for a while, then turned around again, walked towards the two captains of the expedition, bowed his head and saluted.

“Respected hereditary noble Puap, expedition leader Chihuako, God bless you!”

“Blessed by the Lord God! Respected military noble Pimmon!”

The two were respectful and returned the salute in unison. Having seen the execution scene just now, Puap’s attitude was as good as it had ever been before.

“The two captains, you saw it just now… I executed those traitors and cut off all the hidden poisonous snakes. Now, the captives have all been scattered, and a new team leader has been elected. These methods are all It is these years that I have learned from Captain Ezpan.”

Pimon said this and paused. There was still some worry in his determined expression.

“It’s just that by breaking up the captives and dismantling the clan, resistance may be reduced. But there is still a long way to go. How can we reduce the escape of captives?”

“Um…”

Puapu touched his chin and was silent. He looked at Chiwako subconsciously, but the other party lowered his eyes and said nothing… Puap secretly shook his head.

“Hey! This old guy is so soft-hearted! It seems that I can’t count on him for this kind of problem. But, after so much experience along the way, I also have some ideas…”

Thinking of this, Puap grinned and answered confidently.

“Blessed by the Lord God, Captain Pimen, this is easy to handle!”

“Oh? Dear Ash-earth noble, please give me some pointers!”

“On the way here, I heard that Your Majesty has set an upper limit on the death of prisoners, at most 20%?”

“Yes! Your Majesty has been inspired by God and has always been kind… It’s just that these rebels have rioted and must be severely punished! Witness of the Lord God! The warriors have restrained themselves…”

“Lord God witness! Captain Pimon, the journey is long and the number of warriors under guard is limited. If you want to reduce the number of escapes, you must let the prisoners bite each other like dogs! You have selected the leader of the twenty people, which is very important. Good. Next, it is best to put the power and threat of execution on their heads!”

“Huh? What do you mean?…”

“There are 20 days in January, and there are 4 days of death. A team takes 20 prisoners, and four are allowed to die! The leader of the team is the two strongest, the leader of the 20. Wolf. The alpha wolf is in charge of everything, and the same goes for the two leaders!”

“Give the two most vicious leaders a stone spear and a dagger, which can easily suppress their subordinates! From now on, they will not only be able to control their subordinates’ food, their property, but also their subordinates’ life and death. And no matter how they oppress, bully, beat, or even execute their tribesmen, the warriors will turn a blind eye and acquiesce to their actions!”

Speaking of this, Puap’s eyes flashed with a fierce light like a wolf. This is the most naked law of the jungle. The two elected leaders of the Tlaxcala team have the power to control the life and death of their subordinates and become the minions of the warriors.

“Ah?! The leader of the selected team becomes the chief wolf in charge of the life and death of his subordinates?”

Pi Meng was startled and asked in surprise.

“However, Your Majesty said that at most 20% of casualties…”

“Then tell them! No matter what you do, you can only die at most four! Every time you stop in the village, the samurai will make a final count. Each team will die on the road and flee. Once the number exceeds four, two teams will be killed. Heads, beheaded to death! . . ”

“Tell the team leaders, if the number of people is not enough, go and catch the escaped prisoners, catch the wildlings you encounter, or find a way to get over from the other surplus teams! … In any case, the warriors of the kingdom only Look at the head! As long as you take the prisoners under your command and bring them to… all the leaders of the team in the village where the prisoners are placed, they will be given priority to become militiamen, or even the leader of the flag team’s small tent, and continue to be superior!”

Puap’s words, like a low wolf howl, echoed in Battalion Pimon’s heart. Around the two of them, the captives were shouting and weeping, like the low voice of a deer.

“The wolf and the deer, the warrior and the captive… the wolf among the deer, the capture of the fleeing deer…”

Pimen frowned~www.mtlnovel.com~ After thinking for a while, he nodded in admiration.

“Respected ash nobles, your suggestion is very reasonable! If you divide the prisoners into new ones, and let the leader of the team be the first wolf, you can take care of the prisoners for the warriors. However, I have no right to give priority to the last one. The decision is made by the commander of the legion. As for the preceding items, the power and threat of execution…”

Battalion Pimon clenched the copper axe tightly, grinned, and thanked him sincerely.

“I’ll deal with it now, very soon. When the matter of the captives is settled, I will hold a banquet tonight to cleanse you from the dust! … Not to mention, the noble snake-born girls among the captives are all up and down. Smooth as a snake and sure to please!”

“Haha! Thank the Lord God, thank you!”

Speaking of which, the two warriors from Patzcuaro were both grinning at the same time, very happy. On this **** evening, they decided the life and death of tens of thousands of Tlaxcalans, as well as the fate of more than 100,000 captives. In their hands, they held both the blood-stained copper axe and the talisman of the Lord God, which was on the person.

In this rich land, Prepecha’s loyal warriors, following in His Majesty’s footsteps, finally became new conquerors. A steady stream of wealth, land, and population came from expeditions, fueling the kingdom’s military machinery. And as long as the wars continue and the victories continue, the loyalty of the warriors will not change in the slightest!
