Aztec Eternals - Chapter 588
“The mighty Rain God!…”
Surrounded by hundreds of warriors, the military chief of Yeguo City, Marble Kawa, stood on the east bank of the big river. He squinted, avoiding the dazzling sunset in the west, and carefully surveyed the longboats on the river.
“What is… what is that?”
“Leader Marble, that should be the ship of the Aztec Tigers.”
Senior scout Joao lowered his head and replied respectfully.
“Two days ago, I saw these boats, being dragged and walking on the water.”
“What, there is such a big ship!”
Marble Kava widened his eyes and gestured in front of him, estimating the length of the long boat.
“At least as long as twelve people! Ten times as long as a canoe!”
The length of a person is about 1.5 meters. Twelve people are 18 meters long. The canoes of the mountain tribes are small, in order to facilitate landing, they are usually only two meters long.
“Ear, aren’t the Aztec tigers in the north good at foot combat? How could they build such a sacred ship?”
Marble Kava clenched the spear tightly, surprised. People in the rain worship the rain god, and the boat in the water is also an important symbol of faith for them.
According to legend, the father of the feathered snake and the mother of the rain **** made a big mistake and took a snake boat to the great lake in the east. The Mayans, who owned large ships and believed in the Feathered Serpent, had always had a good relationship with the Mistec states on the southern coast, and had frequent business exchanges. In the prosperous Black Mandala City, there are often coastal Maya merchant ships, passing through the endlessly vast southern lake, bringing cherished top-grade turquoise and emeralds.
“… Chief, they may not be tiger people.”
Ear Joao scratched his head and said uncertainly.
“I’ve heard them sing, and it doesn’t seem to be Nahua. Their accents are very similar to those of the nobles who escaped a few years ago. They should be Eagles from the Condor Tribe… Eagles are good at building ships, and they are also good at building ships. The city-states have traded bronze wares. These large ships were probably built by them.”
The name “djo’o” means “ear” in the Mistec language. Well, scouts with this name usually have excellent hearing.
“The Eagle of Tarrasco?”
Hearing this, an unforgettable memory emerged in Marble Kava’s mind.
A few years ago, Prince Tarrasco, Commander of the South Road, Queus, went ashore not far from the southwest along the Tulsa River and fled into Yeguo City. As one of Yeguocheng’s military leaders, he was hospitable and entertained the other party for several months.
However, when the Aztec king personally commanded the army and defeated the army of the Tlaxcala snake people, the attitude of the ministers changed. The leader of Yunchen in Shenshi City also received a message. In the end, he did it himself, with a glass of wonderful poisonous wine, to send the brave Prince Queus on the road.
“Ha! The elders are timid, and the leader of Yunchen is also undecided. Today, the eagle people have become the claws of the tiger people, and the snake people are about to perish! The Aztec evil tiger is coming, and he will eat it in one bite. After descending from the Temple of the Clouds… Holy people of the rain, what choice do you have now? Only one battle!”
Thinking of this, Marble Kava’s eyes sharpened, and the fighting intent burned in his chest. He looked around, looked at the surrounding tribe warriors, and cheered loudly.
“Warriors of the Rain God! The ferocious tigers and eagles have appeared here, not far from the city-state! They are sitting in big boats, and they want to sneak up on our city and destroy our temple… .Just like what’s happening right now, in the Tehuakan Valley!”
Speaking of this, Marble Kava paused. The reason why he led the army and appeared here is also because he received the news that Shenshi City was besieged, and hurriedly withdrew his troops from the swamp village, preparing to return to Yeguo City to garrison.
“The Rain God is angry, and the Rain God is roaring! This is the domain of Zavi, the Rain God, as well as our land! We are the descendants of the Rain God and have the blessing of the God for thousands of years!”
Marble Kava was excited, raised his spear, and even the feather bundles behind him were shaking in the wind.
“Warriors of the Rain God! In order to protect our homeland, go, fight to the death, and defeat the invading enemies! Because, the supreme Rain God, is watching us!”
“Roar! The Rain God is watching us!…”
More than a thousand tribal warriors, all with frenzied expressions, roared in unison, like wind and thunder before a storm. Then, forty small boats, carrying nearly two hundred tribal warriors, went down the river and rushed towards the long boat on the west bank downstream!
“…The Mistecs are here!”
Sharp shouts spread from the river bank, and the Prepecha warriors who lined up instantly became nervous. Battalion Commander Pimon climbed the hill, watched the incoming boats, and adjusted the position of the army formation. It was not until the Mistec boats got closer and closer, within two hundred paces, that he was sure and shouted sharply.
“The enemy’s target is the longship! Archers, advance fifty paces, help defend the kingdom’s fleet, and shoot freely!”
The group of boats sailed towards the long ship and engaged in a water battle. The heavily armored warriors and Ding Zhuang’s captives on the shore were temporarily useless. And the only ones who can support in the first time are the archers in the battalion.
“One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps! Archers on board, shoot fast!”
Puapura opened a big bow and aimed at the tribal warriors on the boat, and shot it with one arrow.
“Whoosh!”
There is no doubt that this precise arrow… rubbed the enemy’s hair and shot into the water.
“Damn it! It’s smooth sailing, the enemy’s boat is so fast!”
Puapu gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, looked at the approaching enemy ship, and drew his bow again to shoot arrows.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The group of boats sailed within forty paces, and the second round of feather arrows came quickly. Almost in an instant, several screams erupted from the Mistec warriors on the opposite side. Several tribal warriors slanted and fell into the water with a “poof”. The running boats immediately began to scatter.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Within twenty steps, the third round of feathered arrows was fired simultaneously from the shore and the boat. The screams of the Mistec were suddenly shrill! More than a dozen elites were killed by arrows, many more were injured, and several small boats collided with each other.

They raised the throwing spears in their hands, and with the speed of the water, they let out a fierce howl when they took aim.
“Blessed by the Rain God! For the tribe! Shoot!…”
“Hush!…Uh!…”
“Blind god!”
The old militiaman Chiwako shuddered and crouched down subconsciously. A heavy and sharp stone spear whizzed over the top of his head, and with a “duh” sound, was nailed to the solid wood deck. The other sailor on the boat had only time to let out a scream before being shot to the ground by a fierce spear. The falling stone spear pierced the cotton armor, creating a huge wound, and the bright red and internal organs flowed instantly, and there was no way to save it.
The Mistec spears were indeed slightly less accurate, and only hit seven or eight people. But this kind of spear throwing is extremely ferocious due to the speed of the boat, and it will kill you if you hit it!
“Blessed by the Lord God, there are only twenty steps left! Ten steps! Damn it, if you don’t slow down, it’s crazy!”
Tao Tao of Jiang water, there is bright red spreading. The boat flew fast and hit like a spear. Dust Puap dropped his longbow and raised his shield. He roared angrily, and even his expression was a little distorted.
“Quick! Quick! The samurai put up the spear, and the water held the spear! Hold against the shields on both sides, and prepare for the impact! … Ah!”
“Boom!…Boom! Boom!”
