The sky is bright in April, and the flowers are blooming in spring. The Cloud Snake Fortress stands towering among the mountains, overlooking the Tlaxcala Valley that is dozens or hundreds of miles away. In this fertile valley, the black smoke of burning wasteland can already be seen, indicating that
The arrival of spring plowing on the plateau.
Wearing the complicated robe of the chief priest, Shulot met the giant bear Stanley, the commander of the Eagle Nobles Chapter who came from the capital in the temple of the chief god of the Cloud Serpent Fortress. This brave royal general is not only the
Werther's most trusted family general was also a well-known warrior. He wore a cloth-covered long bronze armor that weighed forty pounds, but he was still agile and ran like a bear. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Respectfully.
.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Your Highness Shulot, inspired by God, I finally see you! The Supreme God King has been waiting in the capital city of the lake for a long time. Please follow us on the road as soon as possible!..."
Hearing Stanley's sincere "invitation to go on the road", Shulot's eyelids jumped and he smiled politely. He looked around at the dozens of alliance military nobles who came with Stanley, but he did not see the deputy commander of the Eagle Regiment.
The eldest father, Xiu Suoke, pondered for a moment, Xiuluo Te smiled and nodded, promising.
"The Lord God bless you! Dear Commander of the Eagle Legion, then set off as soon as possible!..."
Soon, Shulot bid farewell to the Kingdom's warrior battalion commander Quets, who was stationed at Cloud Snake Fortress, and led a thousand guards down from the dangerous mountain city into the continuous alliance camps and legions.
A thousand eagles and jaguars aristocratic battle groups, all fully armored, saluted the Wolf Banner of Death and His Royal Highness. In addition to these thousand alliance noble warriors, there were half a legion and four thousand direct warriors of the royal family.
Come and welcome Shulot "on his way" together.
"Witness the Lord God! In order to welcome me back to the capital, the God King sent five thousand elite warriors... I have never received such treatment, I am really flattered!..."
Seeing this grand "welcoming" team, Hulot couldn't help but laugh and made a few self-deprecating jokes. Facing the calm and composed His Highness Hulot, the giant bear Stanley also touched his nose in embarrassment, feeling slightly guilty.
In fact, he also had a secret royal order from the God King, which was to forcefully send out legions to "forcefully request" His Highness when he was "unwilling to return" to the capital in the lake.
"I have been on the seaside for two years, and the villages and towns in the Tlaxcala Valley have regained a lot of vitality! Look at the busy villagers in the fields, and look at their clothes and dresses. Most of them are
Immigrants from Texcoco Lakes!…”
"Your Highness Hulot, you are right! In the past few years, the God King has issued royal decrees many times to transfer the nobles of the alliance states and the population of the fiefs under their control to the vast Tlaxcala Valley. And
The Four Snakes City area, except for the Yunshe Mountain City occupied by the Kingdom in the Lake, is the fiefdom of His Highness Chimalpili, and is also the focus of the royal family and nobles in the capital..."
Having said this, the giant bear Stanley turned around and glanced at Yunshe Mountain City, which was towering into the clouds and extremely dangerous and difficult to attack. It took everyone a long time to finally get down, and he tentatively said with some fear.
"However, the Lord God has witnessed! The four Snake Cities are connected to each other and are a whole like human beings. The Kingdom in the Lake occupies Yun Snake Mountain City and has stationed so many warriors. I am afraid it is not appropriate..."
"Oh! Praise the Lord God! Cloud Snake Mountain City is the kingdom's priest group and the only place to worship the Lord God in the land of Tlaxcala. The original Cloud Snake Temple in the mountain city is the ancestral temple of the Tlaxcala tribes. It is of great significance.
Unusually, it must be suppressed by priests and temple guards!…”
"Of course, this mountain fortress and the kingdom will definitely be handed over to the Alliance High Priests in the end. After some time... Well, a highly productive Chinampa has been built in the rivers and lakes in this valley? It has really restored a lot.
Full of vitality! With this new fertile valley, the core foundation of our Mexica people has become stronger!…”
Shulot responded with a smile, and then moved the topic away from the everlasting Cloud Snake Fortress. At this moment, this mountain fortress that was captured and renovated by the Kingdom already had a thousand warriors from the Kingdom stationed there.
The militia of the Thousand Kingdoms can support three thousand people with food for five years, and has restored all the mountain auxiliary villages and expanded the scope of the mountain fields!
After two days of repairs in Cloud Serpent Fortress, Shulot decided to leave the Thousand Kingdom Guards he led here. In this way, this fortress not only has the ability to defend, but also has the ability to attack with small teams.
Strength... The two thousand guards he brought were all foreign warriors selected from various tribes, and there was not a single Mexica. And if he left a thousand guards here, it would be far better than taking them back to the lake.
The capital city can play a greater role!
"Blessed by the Lord God! After passing the towering and white Yanfeng Mountain, we will reach the beautiful and prosperous Texcoco Lake District, which is also the hometown where I was born!..."
A thousand noble battle groups cleared the way in front, and four thousand royal warriors surrounded them on all sides, guarding the black wolf's royal flag and a thousand kingdom guards, embarking on the road back to the west. The Yanfeng Mountains are towering and continuous, separating the east and west.
Although there is a direct mountain road connecting the Texcoco Lake area and the Tlaxcala Valley, the distance is only two to three hundred miles, but it is not easy to walk.
Now that the six thousand regiments are setting out, they can only take the northern road. First go west to Oak City, and then go to the God's Pass from the northwest. Then, go to the holy city of Teotihuacan in the northeast of the Texcoco Lake District, and finally along the Great Lakes
, arrived at the magnificent capital city in the lake. In total, it only took ten days to travel, and it was the heartland of the Mexican Alliance!
"The valley is long and narrow, surrounded by mountains. There are many trees and many oak trees. The roads are winding and the passes are dangerous... If the army comes from the west, the soldiers will be divided into two groups. Take the northwest road all the way, and go straight into the mountains..."
Shulot looked at the mountains along the way with a leisurely expression, reciting a brief emotion. But perhaps it was the instinct of many years of fighting. Looking at the familiar terrain along the way, he thought for the first time about how to get from Tra to the east.
The land of Scala marched towards the Mexica Valley in the northwest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Shen Pass is the real key place! After passing the Shen Pass, go straight to the west. You can ignore the Xiajin City in the north and go straight to the hometown of my birth.
The holy city of Teotihuacan!…”
"The ancient holy city of Teotihuacan, the hometown where I was born and raised. The Pyramid of the Sun and Moon, more than 60 meters high, and the Avenue of Death, which is 40 to 50 meters wide! These magnificent wonders have stood for two thousand years and are still there.
But there aren’t many familiar old friends left…”
After the six thousand legions arrived in the Holy City, Shulot proposed to the giant bear Stanley that he should offer sacrifices to the main god and ancestors at the Pyramid of the Moon, and report back to the ancestors about his achievements in defeating Tlaxcala's old enemy and pacifying the Totonac seaside.
Hearing this proposal, the giant bear Stanley was unwilling to agree. He just wanted to transport the "hot" His Highness Shulot to the capital of the lake safely as soon as possible and hand it over to the hands of God King Avitt. But the ancestor of Shulot
, is naturally the noble ancestor of the entire Mexica royal family. If he rejects this reasonable proposal, I am afraid he will offend a large number of elders of the royal family...
"Dear Your Highness Xiulote, please keep everything simple and complete the sacrifice as soon as possible... When we arrive at the capital city in the lake, the God King has already prepared a large celebration sacrifice to sue the Lord God and the Mexica royal family blessed by the gods!..."
"Okay! Praise the Lord God! Just give me one day!..."
Shulot nodded with a smile and agreed to stay for only one day. Then, he wore a light and short sacrificial robe and walked barefoot on the brick avenue of death, as if he was embarking on the road home. With a bright smile on his face, he
Once he climbed onto the high Pyramid of the Moon, he shouted out with joy. This was the top of the pyramid that he had wanted to climb, pursued, and tried countless times as a child, but never had the chance to climb to the top!
"It's so lofty! It's so high!..."
"Climb high and look at the sun! Is this the way back?..."
"I haven't seen the ancients before! This person has passed away!..."
"Never seen again...should I leave too?..."
The giant bear Stanley was horrified as he watched His Highness Shulot ascend to the top of the 60-meter pyramid, and then gradually jumped for joy and sang out the divine words that no one could understand!
"This...is this?...is the spirit possessed by the ancestors?..."
Stanley, the giant bear, was sweating on his forehead. He looked at His Highness Shulot, who was dressed in short clothes and had long hair, dancing gracefully on the top of the narrow tower, as if he regarded death as nothing. On many occasions, His Highness even acted as if he wanted to
It’s like taking a leap and embarking on the road to the Kingdom of God!…
"Your Highness! Your Highness! You...you'd better come down!..."
"Oh? Let me come down?...That's not possible! I have to go home!..."
The thousand military nobles stared wide-eyed at His Highness performing the ritual dance on the top of the tower. Thinking of those divinely inspired legends and facts, a layer of unknown divinity and mystery was inexplicably shrouded in their hearts.
But in the eyes of Stanley the Giant Bear, His Highness on the top of the pyramid seemed to be crazy! The ancient sacrificial dance steps jumped up and down, sticking to the edge of the pyramid, almost dancing with the God of Death. At this moment, His Highness,
He simply doesn’t care at all, he will die if he slips and falls!…
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Please! Come down!...The God King is still waiting for you!...The Princess is also waiting for you!..."
"Oh? The God King is waiting for me?! Haha! Hahaha!..."
Shulot was hearty, laughing loudly, dancing and singing. At the top of the Moon Pyramid of dozens of steps, he felt an inexplicable feeling of going home for the first time. And the peaceful and peaceful home seemed to be within his reach.
The reachable heaven is in the depths of his soul that he cannot understand...
Fearless, he strode to the edge of the pyramid, opened his arms, and embraced the vast sky and strong wind! He stared at the 60-meter-high ground with no blocking fences. Not only was he not nervous at all, but
Inexplicably quiet.
He was so peaceful, embracing the sky, the sun and the moon, and the death that was within reach. On the top of the pyramid, which was like going home, he had a vague premonition, and it seemed to be some kind of whim, and he couldn't see it clearly.
hallucination.
"Here...death is not the end, just a new beginning?...Is this, really?..."
Shulot blinked his eyes and suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in his heart. Then, when he heard the name "Alyssa", he was shocked and put away all the uncontrollable joy and indulgence.
.
"Ah! Alyssa is waiting for me... She's all waiting for me!... It's not time to go back yet..."
Shulot closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already performing soberly. He laughed and played His Highness who is fearless of death, and also showed the enthusiasm like being possessed by ancestral spirits.
"Hahaha! Let me ask the ancestors! Did the ancestors let me go back!..."
"Ahaha! The ancestors gave me the answer! It's not time to go to the Kingdom of God yet!..."
"He asked me to go back! Then I will go back!..."
