Aztec Eternals

The setting sun slanted to the west, leaving the last afterglow and the last warmth. The golden sun shines, reflecting the shining hills and painting the magnificent forest.

This is where the Otomi Mountains meet the edge of the Valley of Mexico. Going south from here, the forests are gradually thinning out, and the mountains are gradually flattening.

Hundreds of warriors with longbows and bronze spears walked steadily to the south without hesitation.

A young commander wearing a helmet is walking in the center of the team. He is small in stature, holding a shield in his hand, carrying a baton on his back, and wearing a commander's sunstone cloak, with a large bow painted on the back of the cloak. Around his neck is an extremely delicate obsidian necklace, which symbolizes the status of the high priest.

Where the chilling warriors walked, flocks of birds would fly up from time to time, and the cries of eagles lingered in my ears.

The boy saw the eagle flying among the brilliant red clouds, bid farewell to the golden sun, and bid farewell to the warmth of the world.

Beside him, an extraordinarily strong jaguar warrior was listening attentively. He repeated the similar cry of an eagle several times before he nodded in understanding.

"Sholot, the prey has turned to the east. It's half a day's journey away from us. It's drinking water." Olosh said confidently.

Shulot nodded slightly. He wore a visor, just to maintain the majesty of the commander and prevent the warriors from seeing the young man's handsome face.

"Teacher, is this gone?" The boy maintained his posture. After a long time, he looked surprised at Olosh beside him.

"Of course! The eagle codes imitated by the jaguar warriors can only convey simple information: east, west, south, north, half a day, one day, two days, drink water, eat, sleep. This is not a human language, you still want to How about it?"

Olosh looked at the boy, smiled helplessly, and shook his head slightly.

"Also, in the army, the upper and lower ranks are distinct. You need to maintain your prestige, just call my name!"

"Okay, teacher."

Xiuluo nodded, and then shouted an order: "Turn east!"

The warriors obeyed the order and chased eastward.

This hunt has been going on for two days. In the past two days, the jaguar warriors in the holy city of Teotihuacan finally had the opportunity to proudly demonstrate their traditional art: hunting.

Unlike their wealthy colleagues in the capital, the military nobles of Teotihuacan did not have enough land and villages to support themselves. The high priests also occupied an absolutely strong position in the distribution of wealth in the city-state.

The military nobles of the holy city can only do it themselves to subsidize their families.

They often go hunting in the northern mountains and forests, catching tigers, leopards, deer, wolves, and crocodiles to obtain animal skins and meat. Animal hides can be used to make or repair leather armor, and meat is used to subsidize the teenagers in the family who participate in warrior training.

And every once in a while, when large-scale sacrificial activities need to prepare sacrifices, the warriors will also gather in small groups to go deep into the territories of the Otomi, Vasteks, Tarascos and even the Tlaxcalans to capture the local people. The dog-born savages attacked the hostile villages, and even captured the warriors of the opposing forces. This is captive.

Capturing prisoners can bring promotion and honor to participating warriors, but of course it also hides cruel death. Male sacrifices can bring rewards from the temple, and female captives can be exchanged for wealth in the market, or simply stay at home and weave.

The teenagers in Teotihuacan always experience the first battle in their lives among captives, just like Xiulot himself. And when senior warriors are promoted to military nobles, most of them will join the jaguar battle group that is good at raids to further improve their hunting ability.

In hunting, the most important skill is tracking, and the most valuable quality is patience.

In order to capture a unparalleled warrior like Totek, Xiulot has enough patience.

The jaguar fighters in the holy city were scattered into the forest by the young commander. They closely monitored the movements of Totek, and sent signals with high-pitched, winding eagle cries.

Tisok's whereabouts were always locked, and Totek tried to disperse and break through several times, but finally returned without success.

During the two-day hunt, the hunters were constantly wounding the prey, consuming their physical strength, and waiting for a fatal blow!

Whenever the imperial guards drink water, eat or rest, the squad's longbow warriors will come quietly. The shooting longbow brings deadly feather arrows, taking away exhausted lives, making it impossible for the guards to rest.

Up to now, nearly half of the more than 150 guard warriors have been lost. The remaining loyal guards were also injured and exhausted. They didn't even dare to light a bonfire at night, so they could only chew cold dry food and endure the cold wind.

And once the angry Totek is ready to chase and kill, the other teams will be looming in the surrounding mountains and forests, waiting for the chance to shoot the king. Totek is like a beast with its hands and feet trapped, and Tisok is the rope that binds his hands and feet.

If this rope is cut off, will the beast surrender to itself? The young man thought about it leisurely.

At this moment, under the guidance of the jaguar warrior, Stanley came from the mountains and forests in the east. He walked in a hurry, his face was slightly tired, but he was very excited.

"I have already contacted the samurai group in the south. Three thousand samurai have surrounded from the south. We will completely trap Tisok early tomorrow morning."

"Good job!" The boy took off his visor, revealing his handsome face. His face is full of confidence.

"Tomorrow morning, let us launch a fatal blow!"

A night without a campfire is always difficult. Totek's eyes were slightly closed, and the vigilant guard was beside Tisok.

Surrounding the king were guards with shields on duty. During the two days of marching and fighting, the guards struggled with exhaustion without sleepless nights. From time to time, they closed their eyes and lowered their heads, their helmets lightly tapped on the top of the shield, and then woke up for a moment, and soon closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Totek listened attentively, but he did not hear the disturbing crow of the eagle, nor the low sound of the longbow. He was slightly relieved. Tonight, the rebels were rarely disturbed. He glanced at the tired and bruised guards again, and said nothing.

Everyone enjoyed a rare rest, and the king was finally able to sleep peacefully. In his sleep, he growled in a low voice, which was difficult to hear in his sleep. In the past two days, the troops traveled southward with difficulty, and the rebels harassed them day and night, and they had to sleep with half their eyes open.

In a difficult situation, the king inspired the tenacity of a warrior. He stopped complaining or cursing. Instead, it inspires the loyal guards from time to time to make promises for the future.

"This is the descendant of the ancestor Montezuma." Totek thought quietly, "Don't be obsessed with any theology, and despise loyal warriors. Don't be bewitched by the words of the chief priest, and have the desire to kill your brother .”

"If it was earlier." Totek shook his head slightly. Once the things in this world have passed, they can no longer be changed, and since they cannot be changed, there is no need to think about them.

"If I can return to the capital this time, the king will definitely be able to change and become a British lord like the previous king!"

Totek tried to recall the face of the former monarch, but he only remembered a vague tall figure. Perhaps, in the distant past, in his boyhood, he never dared to face the great and glorious Montezuma. He just obeyed the order of the first emperor, loyally loyal to the king, and kept in mind the oath of protection.

As a hair-cut guard, he guarded the previous king; as a commander in chief, he guarded Tissok. He thanked the king for his promotion, but the official position and rewards were actually meaningless to him.

He is just alone, without a wife, relatives and friends, living the most simple life, pure as the rock on the top of the mountain. Because the life of a samurai is nothing more than being loyal to his mission and fulfilling his promise until he dies peacefully!

The peaceful time always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky is already a new red sun. The rising sun illuminates the vast world with infinite dawn and hope, and climbs to the highest summit, just like the emperor in the world.

The red sun is rising, and its way is bright.

Totek looked at the gorgeous morning glow, which dyed the clouds in the sky. The clouds spread out from the east, like the gate leading to the Kingdom of God. A smile of understanding rose in his heart: the old sun has gone, and the new sun has just risen. This is really a beautiful day, suitable for a peaceful death.

That night, Shulot slept soundly. He woke up at dawn, and stretched his waist towards the rising sun in the sky. Afterwards, the young man dressed neatly, and under the guidance of the crowing eagle, he led the warriors to the east.

Before noon, he received urgent information. A few miles to the east, Totek led 80 guards, and was about to break through the block of a thousand-man battalion, and it was not known how long the next two thousand-man battalions would be able to block it.

The young man cursed secretly in his heart: "These royal warriors don't work hard!"

He immediately ordered that the eight hundred warriors turned into a torrent and hurried to the east.
