Aztec Eternals

The stone palace where politics is discussed is gloomy and solemn, shrouded in layered shadows. Only a few faint lights seeped in from the thick veil of gods, outlining the shape of the sun in the corner of the cold floor.

The king sat upright in the shadows, casting his faint eyes from above, like a beast perched on the throne. His voice was distant and cold, as if it made the air freeze, making people feel chilly all over.

Xiusoke took a light breath, and vaguely smelled blood. His expression was always firm and steady. As a noble warrior who has survived many battles, his tenacious will will never be easily feared. He lowered his head and just replied frankly.

"Your Majesty, the mountain family and the royal family have been friends for generations. When I passed by Trokambang, he entertained me very well, so it is not easy to refuse. At the banquet, we just chatted about some scenery and common things, and drank until we were drunk. The second When it got up, I left without even seeing him."

"Oh, a personal friend from generation to generation."

Avit smiled lightly, noncommittal, without any emotion in his voice.

"Xusock, I heard that Tepetel is dissatisfied with the New Deal, and wants to support the royal branch and replace me, the king of the alliance?"

Hearing this, Xiu Suoke's expression froze. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at Avette sincerely.

"Tepetel is just whining for a while, and he never dared to betray the alliance. I have already warned him sternly. The black wolf is the precursor of the tiger and leopard, and the kestrel flies with the eagle. Your Majesty, the royal branch is loyal to you and has always been Consider you the supreme sun!"

"Oh, there's nothing like loyalty."

Arvit smiled again. Then he suddenly stopped, and asked in a deep voice.

"Xisok, Tepetl has the intention of rebelling against the royal family. If he contacts you, what should you do?!"

". Lord God witnesses! Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. If Tepetel really dares to rebel against the alliance, I am willing to lead the royal army, kill his relatives righteously, and bring him to justice for His Majesty!"

Xiu Suoke's forehead was slightly sweaty. He clenched his fists secretly, but his expression was still calm and firm.

"Oh, killing relatives with righteousness."

Avit raised the corners of his mouth and looked at his in-laws in front of him with a half-smile.

"Yes, Xiusock, I believe in you."

There was finally a smile in the king's voice, but his words became even more chilling.

"Because Tepetel himself said so."

As soon as the words fell, Avit raised the scepter and tapped the throne lightly with the silver end. The symbols of theocratic power and royal power burst out at the same time.

"Gilliam."

"Kings."

"Show him."

"As ordered."

Gilliam nodded silently, and finally stepped out of the shadow of the throne. At some point, there was a one-foot-high wooden box in his hand. Then, the intelligence officer approached silently, saluted solemnly, and placed the wooden box in front of the kneeling Xiusoke.

As the intelligence officer approached, the scent of blood became stronger. Xiusoke stared at the red color at the bottom of the wooden box, a strong premonition welled up in his heart. He took a deep breath, let the smell of rust flood into his lungs, and slowly opened the wooden box as if facing a battle on the battlefield. Then, he just glanced at it, and his pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands trembled violently.

Inside the wooden box was the head of Tepetel's unrepentant death! He widened his eyes, and his eyes were full of resentment before he died, and he opened his mouth forcefully, as if he was roaring unwillingly!

"Ah, this, this!"

Looking at the familiar old man, Xiu Suoke's calmness has finally been completely broken! Three days ago, the two were still talking and drinking until they were drunk. Three days later, Tepetel had come to the king's hall one step ahead of him!

Intense emotions surged in his heart, and after several breaths, Xiusoke barely recovered his ability to speak. He was shocked and looked at the king in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this, this, who did this?!"

Avit smiled flatly and did not speak. Gilliam bowed his head and replied solemnly.

"Of course it's you, Lord Xiusoke, the deputy head of the Eagle Squadron."

"Ah I?!"

"Yes, it's you. Tepetel alienated the royal family and opposed the king's new policy. You were loyal to the king, and you left with the order to kill him, and deliberately got him drunk at the banquet. Then, you left at night. After the banquet, you dispatched the jaguar warriors of the Quds Legion to exterminate relatives. Under the guidance of the family members of the mountain family, you killed Tepetel, who had been a personal friend for generations but intended to rebel. Finally, under the witness of the priests in the city, you helped Izel, who made great contributions in the Western Expedition, inherited the position of Patriarch of the Mountain, and left calmly with a smile when he was seeing him off!"

"What's even more admirable is that on the night when you did something great, you still guarded your two daughters and fell asleep peacefully! This kind of loyal warrior creed and heroic warrior behavior is the most heart-wrenching. Your deeds will soon be revealed. It is sung throughout the alliance and is admired by all peoples!"

Gilliam finished speaking with a smile, bowed his head solemnly again, his eyes full of sincere respect.

"His Majesty!"

Xiusoke clenched his fists, not looking at the saluting intelligence officer. He was just emotionally fluctuating, staring blankly at the king on the throne. Avit smiled lightly, and came to a conclusion slowly but surely.

"Shuthok, this is the 'fact' known to the world. Remember, you are the father of Shulot, the son of the high priest, and the representative of the royal branch! The two royal families need to be closely integrated, and there must be no Let the nobles take advantage of the gap! In addition, you are not of high birth, and you still need a credit to sit firmly as the deputy head of the eagle noble battle group."

Xiusoke was silent. He stared at the blood-stained head of the old man, as if there was still some kind of lifelike freshness. Scenes from a few days ago flashed before his eyes one after another, and finally settled on Izel who lowered his eyebrows and poured wine with a smile.

"The herbs in the wine fall red before the flowers. That's how it is!"

Xiusoke murmured. After a while, he bowed his head and bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I obey your will."

"Well, very good!"

Avette smiled, looked at the submissive deputy head, and spoke gently for the first time.

"Xusoke, you once fought against Tisok for me and made great contributions. You also handled the logistics of the northern army very well during this western expedition."

"You are the concubine of the royal family, and Xiulot is your son. After all, the relationship between us is very close. When you come to the capital this time, if you have any needs in life, you can ask me , you can also find Gilliam."

"The Eagle Squad is the most honorable Sun God Guard in the alliance, a powerful group that protects the king. I am relieved to entrust you with the position of deputy head! The current head of the Eagle is my family's trusted general, Stanley You must work together side by side like a pack of loyal wolves. The number of Eagle Warriors will expand soon, and many noble children will join them. Do your best, and any noble children who value you can sign up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiusoke bowed his head with a fist and saluted again. Then, he loosened and clenched his clenched hand, and after a while, he asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Tepetel's head."

"Oh, Gilliam, what do you think?"

"Tepetel has evil intentions and intends to rebel. This fate is the punishment of the Lord God! His head will be displayed to the great nobles from the alliance states at the victory ceremony three days later. At that time, Lord Xiusoke As the deputy leader who has made great achievements, he will also stand on the Great Temple and accept everyone's salute!"

Gilliam saluted solemnly and looked at Xiusoke with a smile.

"Master Xiusoke, please take this achievement safely! Without you, it would never be so easy to punish the wary Tepetel!"

Hearing this, Xiusoke glanced at his old friend's head again, then bowed his head silently, without saying a word.

"Very well, let's deal with it like this!"

Avet tapped the divine staff again, and the crisp sound fell into his heart.

"Hundreds of warriors from the Quds Legion were incorporated into the directly subordinate Royal Legion. I know the names of the several Quds Jaguar fighters who beheaded Tepetl bravely, and they were all promoted to the Royal Jaguar Squad as Centuries. Well, Xiusoke, the royal jaguar battle group is also expanding. The outstanding civilian warriors of the Quds Legion, you can also apply for your name!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Well, let's go down! Take a good rest for two days and prepare for the sacrificial ceremony."

"Follow your will."

Xiu Suoke's expression has returned to calm. He saluted respectfully, then turned around and strode out of the bright hall. Soon, he walked out of the stone hall, the warm sunshine shone on his face, and the noisy human voice came into his ears again. The resolute warrior then raised his head, squinted his eyes to look at the sun, and let out a long sigh.

"It's a beautiful day to meet old friends!"

Xiusoke whispered to himself. Before leaving, he turned his head and took one last deep look at the King's Hall. The thick stone door has been closed, and the fluttering curtain blocks the sunlight. And the throne of shadow looms within it, like the lair of the most dangerous beasts.

There was silence in the stone hall of the lair. Avit looked at the portrait of the Lord God on the curtain, his eyes were like the bottom of a deep lake. After a while, he asked in a deep voice.

"What did the High Priest say?"

"The high priest just found out this morning. Facing the king's envoy and in front of many priests and elders, he said loudly, 'Good kill! That's exactly what eagle warriors should do.'"

"Ha, this old fox."

Avit smiled lightly, feeling a little emotional.

"The high priest has a deep plan, and Shulot is enlightened by his wisdom. Even Xiu Suoke can be said to be sincere and brave. I am really envious of a hero of three generations!"

"Your Majesty, after the new year, His Royal Highness Chimarpili will be five years old. He has been smart since he was a child, and now he can proficiently recite the poems of the former kings, and he can also gesture a small stick twice. The future His Royal Highness must be a wise and brave man." All-round Yingjie!"

The intelligence officer's words came from the shadow of the throne, with a rare smile.

"Well, little Chimalpilly, this little tiger cub, haha!"

Avit shook his head with a smile, and continued to return to the topic.

"The new policy has been promulgated, are there any changes in the city-states?"

"Your Majesty, the alliance has conquered the Kingdom of Tarasco and defeated the Tlaxcalans. Your prestige is at its peak! The northeastern city-states do not have much objection to the reform of centralization, and the northern commander Othello expressed his obedience. The southwestern city-states participated In the fierce battle between the two armies, the most rebellious nobles were arranged to die in battle. The southeastern city-state was invaded by the Tlaxcalans, and many nobles were killed. Now, the leader of the northwestern city-state, Tepetel of the Mountain Family was also sentenced to death. Coupled with the great nobles transferred from the Central Lake District, the Central Committee of the Royal Family will no longer have too much resistance to the centralization reform of the Texcoco Lake District!"

"very good!"

Arvette nodded in satisfaction. Then, he pondered and asked.

"The new head of the Shanlan family is Izel? He is not old, can he win the hearts of the city?"

"Your Majesty, as long as Izel closely relies on the center of the royal family, he can control the situation in the city-state. The new priest of Trokan will also help him. In addition, although he is not very old, he is already a qualified adult. The wolf. The night of the attack three days ago, he himself brought the jaguar warrior into his father's house."

"Oh? He is indeed a qualified adult wolf! If he can be brave again, he can be reused."

Avitt praised appreciatively. The succession law of the Mexica is like a jungle, always cruel and bloody, and only the victor is appreciated.

"Gilliam, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, and the sacrificial link must be grand and solemn! Have all the important sacrifices of the descendants of the gods been processed?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been taken care of. Starting tonight, members of Tarasco's royal family will reduce the amount of anesthetics used. On the day of the sacrifice, an appropriate amount of psychedelic drugs will be added to make them calm and ready to die."

When talking about the sacrificial offerings of the descendants of the gods, the intelligence officer looked calm, without any disturbance. In his eyes, there is no noble blood.

"Very good. According to the usual practice, Suangua is the most precious sacrifice, a gift to the Lord God. Let him live as comfortably as possible in the past few days, and arrange a few beautiful girl priests!"

Speaking of this, the pride of the winner emerged in Avet's eyes. Then, pride turned into pity, giving alms to the prisoners who were also kings.

"Follow your will."

The intelligence officer saluted with a smile. After a while, he asked softly.

"Your Majesty, Su Angua is willing to kneel down and pay homage to you at the ceremony in front of the envoys from all the nations and tribes of the world. First, he salutes humbly to show his submission, and then he bows his neck to be slaughtered!"

"Oh, that's the case! What condition does he have?"

Hearing this, Avitt was quite moved. The old opponent was willing to kneel and surrender before death, but it was more satisfying than fine wine.

"He begged you to leave the condor blood."

Gilliam bowed his head solemnly. He knows what the king likes.

"Your Majesty, there is also a young prince in the royal family of Tarasco, named Shatigny. He has the blood of the chieftain, and is not the orthodox heir. As the cub of the Condor Eagle, it is okay to borrow the excellent potion of the Alliance. Domesticate one or two."

"Well, the elders over there."

"The elders are getting older. Recently, they have been recuperating in seclusion, accumulating energy for the New Year's festival. The immortal sun is high above, and will not shine in such a hidden corner. Besides, there are still many bloodlines fleeing from the royal family of Tarasco."

"Um"

Avit pondered for a long time, then nodded slightly, showing a cold smile.

"Let's do it like this. The big festival is about to start, it's really exciting!"

The king's words echoed in the hall, lingering in the shadows, the majestic throne. Then, there was another crisp ding-dong, praising the supreme power and the cold heart of the king.

Swinging Sword I'm sorry to have had a very, very bad week. Facing the tragic result, I was very sad in my heart. It can be regarded as paying an unbearable price for his own space ideals. Until today, he barely cheered up. Here, the author apologizes to the readers and begins to work hard to restore the update. Thank you for your support and understanding! sincere gratitude!
