Tesosomok took Ella up a small hillside, from where he could see the hunting in the distance.
"We arrived here by rowing about a week ago." On the way, Tesosomok reported what happened to Ella, "We were abandoned by Quetzalcoatl and cannot control the magic of the wind. The Lord Envoy can control the ship. Traveling against the wind, we could only paddle the boat as hard as we could to catch up. The soldiers were very tired halfway, but I knew that this was a test from the envoy of God, and that Quetzalcoatl deliberately used the headwind to test our will. , so I kept encouraging them, and they persisted. There was a storm on the way, and the ship was about to sink. Thanks to this island appearing in front of us. I knew this was God's will, so I let The soldiers are temporarily repairing here. As expected, you, the envoy of God, appeared here a week later."
Having said this, Tesosomok stood up from the stretcher, held his chest and bowed to Ella.
"Excuse me, Lord Envoy, have we passed Quetzalcoatl's test?"
"Ah...ha..."
Ella smiled awkwardly, the muscles on her face twitching from time to time. According to Tesosomok, they took an ordinary merchant ship, relied on the power of oars, and caught up with the fastest flying Sealander in the world against the wind. They even arrived at the island a week before them.
——This is absolutely impossible.
The oar cannot go faster than the sail. Even if they can do it in a short period of time, it is impossible for a rower to sustain this high-intensity exercise continuously. This is not something that can be done by will. Even relying on magic can't do it. The Aztlan people's magic power needs to be supplemented by eating human flesh and blood. On the sea, they have no source of magic power.
The only possible explanation is that her ship misjudged its direction in the sea and made a circle. If this is true, then there is something wrong with the sextant and compass. In the worst case, she has to revise a series of theories about longitude, latitude and light refraction and reflection.
The matter of sea charts and star charts had not been resolved yet, but this problem suddenly appeared again, and Ella suddenly felt a headache again. Janus must have felt this way when he suddenly spotted the flying Sealander appearing in front of them during the voyage.
"Not to mention this, how many people have you arranged to hunt this herd of bulls?" Ella quickly changed the subject, "This herd of bulls is not easy to mess with. Their collision ability is ridiculously high. And there are so many of them..."
Amy added: "The key is still not stopping."
"Yes, the key is not to be able to stop!" Ella nodded repeatedly, "If you can stop it, just scare them, but if you can't stop them, even if they are scared, they will hit you one after another. I just saw When one of them was hit by a cow behind and flew more than ten meters away, it was still a cow. If it had hit a person, it would have flown nearly a hundred meters! This kind of collision would probably even cause the dense phalanx of spears to be knocked out. Disperse them!"
"Indeed, this kind of cattle usually lives in our northern grasslands in Aztlan and is very fierce. When we saw this herd of cattle on the island, we didn't dare to catch them." Tesosomoc nodded and said, "But now the props Everything is ready, and I have arranged for about ten people to take down these bulls. Later I will select the strongest one among them and sacrifice it to Quetzalcoatl!"
"Wait a minute! How many people did you say you arranged?" Ella couldn't believe her ears, "Tell me again?"
"More than ten! To be exact, thirteen people!"
"Thirteen people, there are not as many as this herd of cattle! No - not only there are not as many cattle, their number is more than five times as many as yours! If we are fighting with people, thank God for being able to evacuate safely!"
"God's envoy, it's not that I only arranged for these people, but I really can't spare the manpower." Tesosomok said, "With so many cows, if they are not dissected in time after they die, the meat will soon be no longer available. Moreover, We also need to consider things like long-term preservation, which requires a lot of materials. My people are very busy with these things."
"Isn't the first thing we should consider how to kill all these cows?" Amy shouted from the side, "How much magic power did you add to us without telling us, so you dare to do such a thing?"
"Magic power? We don't have much magic power left." Tesosomok said sadly. "We didn't have much left when we were in prison in England, and we haven't replenished it since. There are no enemies around who can launch a war of glory. If we don't return, We’re afraid we won’t be able to recover our magic power when we get to Aztlan.”
"There has to be a limit to lying! How are you going to catch these dozens of bison with thirteen people if you don't even have magic power?"
"How dare I lie to Lord Angel? You can definitely catch him. It may be your first time to see Angel, but we Aztlans know their habits very well. First, they can't stop when they rush. Stop; secondly, their eyesight is actually not very good, so they will mistake our people for wolves." Tesosomok pointed downwards, "Just watch, soon Quetzalcoatl will be able to enjoy it Our tribute."
The wolf howl imitated by the Aztlan people sounded again, and the few Aztlan people who had just appeared finally drove back the deviated cattle and rushed towards this direction.
"In order to catch this group of bulls, we first found a way to hunt a few wolves, skinned them, and laid an ambush around them." Tesosomok said, "Although the wolves are much smaller than them, they can see It is their nature to run when wolves appear. When wolves appear from all directions, they run even more panicked. However, humans cannot outrun the herd of cattle, so they have to rely on the 'wolves' that have been ambushed in advance to drive them to a specific location. Rush in the direction."
"Why do you want them to run away in a panic?" Ella didn't understand. "Isn't it harder to catch them?"
Before he finished speaking, two Aztlan people suddenly jumped out from the foot of the hillside. They were not covered in wolf skins, but were covered in the same fur as the herd of bison.
"We managed to hunt down two lone cows. They had bad eyesight and thought they were their own kind."
"Pretending to be a wolf and then a cow? What are you doing?"
"When running, cows are used to running with the cow in the front. It is difficult for wolves alone to guide them accurately in the right direction, so cows are also necessary."
The two Aztlan men covered in bison skins stood upright and ran wildly on the ground with their two feet, but the group of bison behind them had no suspicion at all and followed them as they ran wildly.
——And in front of the two Aztlans was the cliff of the valley that Ella saw when she climbed up.
"Playing the role of a bison is the most dangerous job, and it requires the fastest and boldest people to do it." Tesosomok said, "Tie this rope under the cliff. Their task is to catch the bison before it catches them. Jump off the cliff and grab the rope in the air."
When Tezozomoc was introduced, the two Aztlan warriors demonstrated simultaneously. They gradually slowed down as they approached the cliff, and finally jumped off the cliff with one leap, as Tesosomok said, and caught the hanging rope in the air.
But the herd of bison didn't slow down at all. While running wildly, they fell off the cliff one after another. Some cows noticed something was wrong and wanted to stop, but their companions who were still running forward behind them knocked them off the cliff.
——This group of bison, whose impact was comparable to that of heavy cavalry, all fell off the cliff.
"My men are sharpening their knives down the valley and preparing to cut meat," Tesosomok said. "I hope no one will be hit by the falling cattle."
