Aztec Eternals Chapter 73

The bonfire was extinguished, and the surroundings were silent, with only the sound of the patrolling of the samurai, and in a blink of an eye it was already late at night.

Shilot looked at his friend's thoughtful face and waited quietly. Those who achieve great things, conspiracy and secret rooms, defeat and negligence. The major events that really decide the country are only negotiated among the core leaders of a small number of people, and then implemented by the backbone team. A slight inclination at the core of power determines the life and death of thousands of lives.

After a long time, Avett's face became solemn, and he had already made an unquestionable decision:

"Send legions to recruit and rescue Casal's three thousand direct subordinates. Send messengers to negotiate with the pursuing Ottopan army. Also send messengers to contact Trol, the king of Atotonilko, to inform Tisok's death. , asking him to submit, and promise that his position in power will remain unchanged.

I will communicate with the city-state leader for a few days, and move the army to the Hirotepek camp. There, I will gather the scattered samurai directly under my command. Disband the city-state samurai regiment and 30,000 militia.

I will promise land, recruit the city-state warriors who voluntarily stay behind, and then divide the royal family directly, gather 12,000 warriors and 15,000 militiamen, and continue to block the city of Hilotepec.

They sent people to recall the boat division, left dozens of boats to warn the Leman River, and picked up the lost militia by the way. The brigade sailors immediately made a detour around Lake Texcoco and rushed from the Tempon River to the riverside camp.

Once the sailors meet, I will lead the more than 20,000 warriors directly under the royal family to the south, along the waterways, to the capital city in the lake! "

The three saluted and obeyed the order. The chaotic situation has been sorted out. Now that the decision has been made, Mexica's war machine is about to start running again.

Arvit thought for a moment. Afterwards, he took Serlot's hand and said kindly.

"Shirot, you just returned from capturing the king in the south, and originally wanted you to rest for two days. But after thinking about it carefully, I still want you to lead the army to the western camp. Your identity is enough to recruit Kassar, and at the same time represent me and Otomi. talk to people."

The boy nodded resolutely and promised that the commander must mature in the constant war. A low-intensity war is the best way to train a novice commander like yourself.

"How many warriors do you have now?"

"Eighty broken hair guards, 110 longbow guards, 200 holy city jaguars, 700 bronze spear warriors, 3000 direct descendants of the royal family." The young man calculated in his heart, down to ten figures.

Avett smiled.

"Give me the broken-haired guards and the bronze spear warriors. The army gathers, and I need to strengthen the loyal central army. The three thousand warriors of Teotihuacan are handed over to you. The original four thousand of the Hirotepec camp The direct samurai will also be handed over to you.

Stanley, I want to stay. Barda has surrendered, so I'll leave it to you. He is Kassar's lieutenant, and he was just sent over to recruit Kassar.

After beating for the past two weeks, that ape-like Kuluka has been obedient enough, and now I will give it to you. He had been a commander in the great camp, and he could be put in charge of the four thousand warriors. As for whether to be a commander or an adjutant, you decide.

By the way, I made some longbows recently, and the Longbow Guard will make up for you back to 150 people. So you have more than ten thousand Mexica warriors. Giova of the city-state of Ottopan has at most seven thousand Otomi warriors, enough for you to suppress him. "

The young man took orders loudly, feeling a little uneasy in his joy.

This time, he actually wants to command more than 10,000 warriors! He knew that his ability was far from this level, but with veterans such as Bertard, Olosh, Kuluka, and Barda assisted, there was no need to worry about marching and fighting. Later, the specific positions of leading officers will be allocated, and only a few generals will be caught by oneself, and then it will be good to learn while leading the army.

Acap had a happy smile on his face. Leading more than 10,000 warriors, this has far exceeded the head of the regiment. The holy city of Teotihuacan can only make up more than 5,000 warriors at most. The core of power in Mexica lies in the three cities of the capital, the dense population of the Lake District, and the tens of thousands of warriors supported by the huge population.

Gilliam's solemn expression finally revealed surprise.

He respectfully saluted and admonished: "Your Majesty, the thirteen-year-old army commander leads an army of more than 10,000 people. This has never happened in the history of the alliance!"

Avette smiled and waved his hand: "Shirot was born to know that he is not an ordinary teenager. This time he went south, and his prestige was enough to convince the public. What's more, this journey is mainly based on momentum, and there will be no fierce battles. Don't worry, Gilliam!"

Seeing that the king's determination had been made, Gilliam could only bow his head and salute without saying any more.

"Shirot, do you know who Giova is facing this time?" Avette looked at the boy with a smile.

"Giova? Who is it?" The boy had only heard of this person from his father's message.

"It was the commander of the Ottopan Legion opposite you when you first fought. At that time, you followed me, just a priest with the army. But it's been more than a year, and now it's your turn to command the army, command Kassar and Barda, go to I suppressed Giova. How about it, I didn't treat you badly, did I?"

Avite reached out and touched the boy's head, with a gentleness rarely seen in kings, even close to warmth.

"Avit, you're so kind!" The boy looked to his left and right, Acap and Gilliam were slightly lowering their heads in thought, staring at the flickering bonfire. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly hugged his friend, and then resumed his formal posture.

Avit smiled mildly, showing a bit of satisfaction on his face, and then returned to the seriousness of the king.

"Everything has been decided, let's stop today's discussions here! Shirott, hurry up and visit your father. Time is running out, and the army will be dispatched tomorrow."

Shulott nodded and said goodbye to Avette. He smiled at his friend and hurried out of the tent.

There were no female relatives during the march, and the generals in the big tent were all taken care of by guards, and they were sleeping under the cotton blankets.

Outside the account are the stars in the sky, and the splendid Milky Way pierces the sky. Under this starry sky, in another corner of the world, what else is going on?

Shulot looked to the east, where there was the brightest star, with a faint orange color, that was Jupiter. The boy nodded and could see Jupiter, proving that it was past ten o'clock. This is the heavenly father Zeus in Roman mythology, the lucky star in Chinese mythology, and the guru in Hindu mythology.

Under the stars, there are always some pioneers who are leading the progress of civilization. Whether it is Europe, where the great voyages opened, or America, where civilization is emerging.

Thinking about it for a moment, the young man hurried again. He walked to Teotihuacan's camp and found the regiment's tent. Familiar guards greeted him with a look of awe he was unfamiliar with.

Entering the tent, Shirault first saw his father lying on a wooden bed, tied like a zongzi. He was taken aback and stepped forward to firmly hold his father's hand.

"Father, who did this?"

"Apart from your teacher Olosh, who else is there?" Hussoke's face was pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

"My son, this time you went south, you captured Tissok and Totec, and you are very famous among the Mexica warriors. But you have to be careful of the noble warriors of the royal family, they and Tissot The relationship between Grams is not clear. Just like the tree you painted on the wooden board, the tree is too tall and it is easy to break."

"I'll be careful, father!" Shirot smiled nonchalantly. It represents the progress of history. Those who hinder the progress of history will eventually be abandoned.

Consecutive victories have made the young man feel free.

Olosh, who was next to him, pouted, and threw the Chinese character board in his hand on the haystack.

"Shirot is here, don't read these head-scratching words any more, just go to sleep when you're done talking!"

Husock smiled slightly. Only then did the boy notice that Orosh was sitting across from the bonfire. He was holding up the plank just now, letting the immobile Xiusoke look at the Chinese characters to pass the time.

"Father, what do you think of this writing? How did you learn it?"

"This text is very good. You don't need someone to speak or translate, you can remember a lot of things clearly, and you can explain these things clearly. It's a bit difficult, even I have a hard time learning it, your teacher Oloshi is even more Needless to say!" Xiusoke couldn't move his chest, so he could only nod his head in approval.

"It's like you're much smarter than me." Olosh shouted in dissatisfaction, "Although I only knew a few words in the past two days, you are not much better. The third day of learning on the first day Forget it! Isn't it still the same?"

Shirou sighed slightly, the warriors did not read with weapons in hand, and Chinese characters were indeed difficult.

When the big things are over, we will recruit a group of children and teenagers to teach. In the future, we will definitely let the text enter the Kalmykak noble school, and then spread it to the Trpočkali civilian military school, and finally establish a whole school system. The localized abbreviated spelling of Chinese characters should also be accelerated.

"My son, where did you get this set of words you wrote?"

The boy's face flushed slightly: "I invented it myself."

"Haha, my son is as cute as a lynx! I have watched you grow up since I was a child. Although you are much smarter than other children, you are not enough to invent words at will. Look at these combinations, look at these Writing standards must have been studied for thousands of years and passed down from generation to generation.

Did you encounter the inheritance of the ancestors? Or accept the gift of God? "

Seeing his father's questioning with a smile, the boy also smiled for some reason.

"God's gift. I had some strange dreams on the day of the expedition. A **** came from a large lake in the far west. He had the same black hair and yellow skin as us, the same black eyes, but the eyes Four. His eyes can see through all fog and darkness, through the stars and the earth.

While looking at everything in the world, the gods told me softly how to write. He taught me 100 words a night, and taught me a whole Mayan month, until I learned 2,000 words. He flew away from the dream and went to the prosperous China, which is 100,000 miles away. Before leaving, he said to me, one day, you will go to the west to find the source of your dreams! "

Husock listened to the myth from the boy's mouth with a serious face. His expression was focused and solemn.

It was not until he heard his son finish that Heusok said cautiously, "The **** with four eyes? Could it be the giant of the first era? Since you have accepted the gift of the god, then the god's request must be fulfilled!

The distance of 20,000 miles is too far, it may take ten years. You are still young and have experienced few things, so you can't come this far. When you and the princess get married and everything settles down, I'll walk for you! "

Looking at his father's serious and firm eyes, listening to his unhesitating promise, thinking that he is still unable to move after being injured. The young man couldn't help feeling sour, lowered his head to his father, and said softly.

"Father, I won't let you go. The gods said that the west is a boundless lake, and there is no big boat, and no one can go through it. This task, leave it to the descendants!"

After going through so many life and death changes, father and son seemed to have endless things to say, Olosh also interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and even the bonfire in the tent warmed up.

In the other side tent, the bonfire has gradually been extinguished, and the tent has become icy cold. In the empty tent, Avet sat on the throne and looked at two different divine scepters. Whenever he saw Topaz's divine scepter, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Gilliam knelt in the shadow of the throne. "The arrival of Ugos marks the division of the six priests of the Great Temple, and Uger is the best weapon against the chief priest."

"Yeah. Ugel can indeed replace Kechar." Avite nodded coldly, "But I don't want either."

"Your Majesty, the influence of theocracy has been passed down for a long time, and it cannot be eliminated in a day. We need to build up the prestige of the high priests and deprive the chief priests of their power and land. But the chief priests themselves must remain, two priests. The group restricts each other, and the divine authority cannot be unified and further threaten the royal authority." Gilliam's voice was always steady.

After a moment of silence, Avet nodded silently.

Perhaps encouraged by Avette's nod, Gilliam continued, "Your Majesty, you seem to be particularly fond of His Royal Highness Sherlot?"

Avite's icy face melted a little: "Well, Xiao Xiuluot told me a story. In the story, there was a god-born king who was the first to unify the world! The god-descend king had a piece of exquisite jade in his hand, and he Carve the rough jade into a rune, focus on your own divinity, and shape it. This rough jade becomes a peerless treasure that inherits the country!"

"What do you mean..." Gilliam asked in a low voice, he had already guessed what the king meant.

"Shirot is the exquisite piece of jade, and I am the king of the gods who unifies the world. I will carve the jade and turn it into a peerless precious jade with divinity!" Thinking of the growth of the boy, Avette showed relief. smile.

"Are you really going to hand over the country to him? Before the decisive battle, it is just in case. After all, you are prosperous in spring and autumn, and you can still rule the alliance for decades. And His Royal Highness Chimarpili, who came from his wife, is also two years old.. ."

Hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Avit frowned.

"His Royal Highness has a line of high priests behind His Highness, and he has Su Hui and outstanding talents. Now that he is not yet an adult, you have let him command the legion. When he reaches adulthood, there will be two suns in the sky and two suns in the mountains and forests. Two jaguars, I'm afraid this is not the luck of the alliance..."

Avette's expression changed, and his smiling face gradually became cold. The chill slowly spread in the tent, like a bonfire that was gradually extinguished.

The cold lasted for a long time, until the king on the throne once again thought of Totec's unstoppable giant axe, of the beautiful girl who was his last memory of life and death, and the rescue that followed the boy who gave up his life...

Only then did the king's smile recover slightly, with another murderous intent in his smile.

"Gilliam, you talk a little too much today."

"King, I'm not selfish. I just don't want the civil war to happen again. Only one sun is enough." Gilliam fell to the ground solemnly and answered calmly.

"I want to believe that you have no selfishness. Remember, there can only be one sun, and the other can be the moon. The mountains in Mexica are too small, and the sky is enough for two eagles to fly!"

"Gilliam, today's words will remain today, and you are not allowed to mention them again in the future, unless you have no future."

"Follow the king's order." Gilliam sighed in his heart, then saluted solemnly, and then returned to the shadows again.

Avit continued to watch for a while, then threw the topaz scepter on the ground, and there was a ding-dong sound from the scepter. Afterwards, the king took out the ruby scepter, looked at it gently for a moment, and whispered to himself at the 100-carat star ruby.

"In the name of our ancestor, Montezuma, for the rest of my life, as long as you don't betray me, I will carve you into a treasure that will inherit the world!"
