Hulot was a little surprised. The Kingdom of Tarasco had well-established canine mercenaries, and these brave warriors who were not afraid of death had left a deep impression on him. Then, the king was a little confused.
"Guachichiles? Guachichiles, kua-itl means head, chichil-tic is red, barbarians with their heads painted red?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Almost all the Guakili canine descendants went south, and the number is indeed more than 100,000. They are a barbarian tribe further north on the plateau, entrenched in the depths of the most difficult desert. They are warlike and angry, agile in action, and possess
Excellent archery skills, able to hit flying jays! They highly admire the color red and regard bloodshed as sacred. They will also use any dye they can find to dye their hair red. The characteristic of Guakili's senior warriors is bright red
s hair!"
"Your Highness, the situation of Chichimec descendants in the north is complicated and can be divided into seven tribes. In addition to the Guakili people, there are also the Parmus people who have married and merged with our people, the Guamar people who are close to the west, and the west
The Tecué people who are a little further away, the Cacos people who are married to the Tekos people, and the Tepeca and Zacate people in the far northwest. The tribes communicate with each other but have different customs, marry each other and are hostile to each other... wait for later
If I have a chance, I can tell you slowly."
"Oh? I heard that there are eight tribes of Chichimec descendants. The Guakili, Guamar, Otomi..."
Shulot paused and looked at the old priest opposite with deep meaning.
"Alt, please continue with the topic."
"Your Highness, we Otomi people have a long heritage and are different from them..."
Alter smiled bitterly, knowing His Highness's unfinished intentions. He shook his head and continued without making any excuses.
"Facing the invasion of the Guakili canine descendants, Parmus State could not hold out for long. By March, except for a few closed and defensive city-states, most of the towns and villages had fallen. Fortunately, the canine descendants did not
They know how to attack cities, but they just plunder the countryside. In the past half month, scattered tribes have begun to invade the north of Otopampan State. What's even worse is that several large Guakili tribes led by them have occupied Pamus.
The fertile land with rich water and grass in the country is ready to be settled here!"
"A half-hunting, half-farming tribe invaded south and began to settle..."
Xiulote fell into deep thought. Listening to the old priest's description, these Guakili dog descendants who admire red and are good at shooting should be the most adept at fighting among the Chichimecs. They are natural hunters and are proficient in hunting.
Guerrilla tactics, entrenched in the northernmost part of the Mexican Plateau.
In later generations, the Guakili people, as the main force of resistance among the Chichimec people, fought with the Spanish for nearly half a century, and finally forced the colonists to bow their heads and sue for peace. Fortunately, these difficult hunting tribes have not yet
Most importantly horses and livestock.
"Ort, the Otomi are a large tribe in the north. There are more than 20,000 warriors in each state, and the militia that can be mobilized is several times that. Didn't you send troops to expel the Guakili people?"
"Your Highness, there are indeed more than 20,000 warriors in the three states. However, the canine descendants are ferocious and are everywhere, and they are constantly flowing. The state of Parmus is under siege, and there are naturally tribes in the north of Guamare state going south. Only the ancestral land of Otopan can
Send troops. A month ago, Oquili, the military leader of the mountain city, personally led the troops and led 10,000 troops northward to start a fierce battle with several large Guaquili tribes going south. He took the lead and charged forward, once overwhelming the Guaquili people.
The army was defeated, but during the pursuit, an ambushed marksman shot him in the eye..."
"After this battle, although the Guakili people were scattered and fled, they suffered little loss. They were still firmly stationed in the state of Parmesan. The leader of Oquili died of his injuries and died a few days later. The Otopan Army
Lacking a commander, they directly withdrew to the mountain city. At this moment, the leaders of various ministries are gathering together and quarreling over the election of the supreme leader of Otopan Mountain City, the new military leader! .... Your Highness, you came at the right time.
,Giowa needs your support!”
Hearing this, Shulot's eyes lit up. Outside, there were dog descendants heading south, and there were disputes among the leaders inside. The Otomi people were troubled both externally and internally, so it was indeed the best time to conquer them. The king looked at the worried old priest and smiled.
asked.
"Alt, as the highest-ranking Chaos Priest, you have presided over the Otomi Alliance's external peace talks several times. Can't you decide who will be the leader of the mountain city?"
The old priest smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said frankly.
"Your Highness, it is precisely because of presiding over peace talks several times that my reputation has been greatly reduced! I am from Guamare State, and there is another senior Chaos Priest, Saka, in the mountain city of Otopan. In fact,
, the ownership of the mountain city of Otopan ultimately depends on the hearts of the warriors, and the competition is the military strength of the tribal leaders... There are currently two candidates for the leadership, Giowa, whom I support, and Nel, whom Saka supports.
Pa."
"Your Highness, I have been paying attention to the changes in the alliance, and Giowa also knows the power of the alliance. No matter what the reason is, we are willing to seek changes, surrender to you, and seek a way out for the Otomi people. And Saka is a very traditional Otomi people.
Priest Tommy, Nerpa has never fought against the Alliance... We regard the Alliance as friends, they regard the Alliance as enemies! The Wolf King will decide the direction of the wolf pack, and once Nerpa becomes the leader..."
Shulot showed a clear face and affirmed without hesitation.
"Oort, we can trust each other. I am full of goodwill towards the Otomi people and will support my subjects and destroy my enemies!...What is your plan?"
"Your Highness, you are the eagle of Mexica and the king of the kingdom in the lake! Your reputation spreads throughout the world, and the Otomi people also believe in your divinity. Therefore, please enter the mountain city in person and participate in the tribal meeting. In the Otomi people
In front of Tommy’s ministries, he expressed his support for Giovanni!”
"What!"
Bertard had been listening quietly. After hearing this, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and made urgent suggestions.
"Your Highness, you are the highest sun, you must never go into danger alone!"
Alter also took a step forward and grabbed the corner of Shulot's clothes. He raised his left hand and swore sincerely.
"Your Highness, I swear to the gods with my own life! The Otomi people are in danger. We are longing for the new sun and the guidance of the strong. We will never and do not dare to make a move against you to offend you.
A powerful alliance!”
"oh!"
Shulot raised his eyebrows. He waved to the warrior chief. The old priest also let go of his hand and saluted and apologized. The king looked calm and looked into the eyes of the old priest.
"The eagle needs wings, and the king needs majesty. Alter, how many guards can I bring into the city?"
"Five hundred people. Your Highness, five hundred people. The legendary most powerful Otomi leader has a guard of five hundred people. This number is in line with tradition and the Otopan people can accept it!"
"Well. Five hundred fine armors entered the mountain city, and six thousand troops were stationed outside... With the Otomi people in such a situation, the risk of entering the city is actually not great, but it is worth a try!"
Shulot thought for a while, his face as calm as lake water. He made a decision in his heart, but did not reveal it in his words.
"Alt, Giowa needs my support to become the leader of the mountain city. So what can I get?"
"Your Highness, the canonization ceremony of Giowa will be held by you. You will gain vassals to control the mountain city, gain the allegiance of the nobles of the mountain city, and win the hearts of the Otomi people!"
Alter's expression moved and he bowed to answer.
The king shook his head, his expression indifferent.
"Not enough, Alter. I can venture into the city, but I need more. And you can give me more!"
"Your Highness, after Giowa comes to power, the Otomi people will move closer to you. The Ottopan army will go north again to fight the Guakili canine descendants. As long as you help us defeat the canine descendants going south... I will
I can summon the leaders of the three kingdoms, hold a spiritual ceremony, and officially honor you as the great chief of the Otomi people!"
"Oh, there is still this level of planning?...Alter, you are quite scheming."
Shulot looked at the old priest with a smile on his face. He shook his head again.
"Alt, think about your identity. You know what I care about and what I want!"
"Your Highness Shulot!"
There was deep sorrow and pleading in the old priest's eyes. The king remained unmoved, but looked firmly into the other person's eyes, and then reached out to hold the Sun God amulet around his neck. After a long time, the old priest finally lowered his head.
At this moment, his back became rickety and he suddenly looked old.
"Your Highness, the Saka family are the most conservative die-hards. As long as Giowa holds power, he can issue military orders, order them to return to their fiefdoms, and expel them all from the mountain city... You can arrange manpower on the periphery, preferably in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish
The barbarian who belongs.”
"As soon as they die, the die-hards will lose their backbone. Giowa controls the city of Otopan, and I influence the state of Guamare, as well as the state of Parmus, which is under siege. At that time, I will represent the priesthood and issue a divine decree,
Let the Otomi people of the three countries surrender to the supreme god..."
Alter lowered his head and even breathing became difficult. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, his expression became hard again.
"But, Your Highness, the belief in the original god has been circulating in the hearts of the Otomi people for a long time. He is also the ancestral god believed by the Otomi people. The god of war Huitzilopochtli was promoted to the supreme god, the original god Ometeo.
After Ter abdicates, please make him the second most important god! In this way, the turmoil of faith can be minimized."
Shulot looked at the old priest for a while. He was like a candle in the wind, crumbling, trying hard to hold on to the extinguishing light, but unable to change the departure of the old god. The king thought for a moment and nodded. He had enough time.
, not in a hurry.
"Okay. Alter, I promise you! In the three-state land of the Otomi people, the original god has retreated to the second subordinate god. Remember the promise you gave me!"
"I will. The Otomi people have no choice... Your Highness, what is your choice?"
"Early the day after tomorrow, open the city gate. I will lead five hundred personal guards, hold high the Black Wolf's royal flag, and enter the ancestral land of the mountain city!"
The night wind was blowing and the bonfire was swaying. The king's voice was raised high, floating in the slightly cold wind, full of magnificence and heroism. The long wind blew and fell into the towering mountain city, but it was a melodious lament. Former leader Oquili
He has been buried in the tribe's sacred cemetery, and his relatives are praying all night. Not far away, the longhouses of the leaders are lit up all night. New flames are burning.
Note: In this chapter of the Qidian App, there is a distribution map of the eight canine tribes.
