After listening to what Tesosomok said, Ella stopped where she was.
"In that case, Tesosomok, please answer my last question honestly." Ella said, "Are there any local prisoners of war locked in cells waiting for sacrifice? Just like what happened to me at that time?"
"Lord God Envoy, I don't want to lie to you." Tesosomok replied seriously, "Of course there are. We captured a lot of prisoners of war at that time, and Osomalite may not have used them all until now. Did you see it today? Slaves or something, right? Most of them were prisoners of war at that time. They usually work as slaves, but during festivals, some of them will be sent to the altar and used as sacrifices."
"As I expected." Ella shook her head helplessly, "In that case, let's release them today."
Upon hearing this, Tesosomok's expression suddenly changed: "With all due respect, Lord God Envoy, this is not wise."
This was the first time Ayla had seen Tesosomoc object to her words so firmly since she was regarded as Quetzalcoatl's messenger by the Aztlan people. She glanced at Tesosomok in surprise, but saw Tesosomok lowered his head and explained:
"These slaves are the private property of the local rich. Your behavior will arouse the Aztlan people's resentment towards Quetzalcoatl. I know that Quetzalcoatl hates human sacrifice, but human sacrifice is still indispensable to the Aztlan Empire. Part of it involves the interests of all walks of life. Unless Quetzalcoatl shows enough power to make people obey, no - even if he shows that kind of power, there will still be some opposition."
“How dare they oppose God?”
"No one dares to oppose God, but some people will oppose you." Tesosomok continued to lower his head and said, "They will call you a liar. Even if you show miracles, they will say it is witchcraft. I know This is stupid, and will disgust Quetzalcoatl, and he may even leave Aztlan directly because of this. However, the majority of stupid people in the world are. The huge Aztlan Empire will never change because of your words - —Absolutely impossible. It will be a long process for people to accept the idea of Quetzalcoatl."
"Think broadly, Tesosomoc. If we had already occupied this city-state, there would be really no point in releasing these prisoners of war. But now, this city-state belongs to Osomat."
Tesosomok didn't understand the meaning of Aila's words and was stunned for a moment.
"Release the locals, and the sacrifices will be replaced by people from Osomarit. After passing this sentence to every elder in Kalpur, where else can Osomalt recruit troops from?"
"This can't be done!" Tesosomok shouted, "The people in Osomalet are the people of our Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the locals were conquered by us! There is no basis for sacrificing the people of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and releasing the locals. It can be relied upon, and it will shake the foundation of the rule of the Aztlan Empire!"
"This is not a fight between mortals, but a fight between gods, so there is a basis for it. The sun war god asked his followers to drive out Quetzalcoatl, and Quetzalcoatl fought back - in your mythology, smoke mirrors and Aren’t Quetzalcoatl always fighting with each other and destroying each other’s world? Then it’s only natural that the Sun War God and Quetzalcoatl should fight.”
Ella looked at Tesosomok meaningfully.
"The strength of Tlacopán is only the third among the city-states of the Aztlan Empire. You brought Quetzalcoatl back. Even if people respect and value you because of this, when the other two states began to believe in Quetzalcoatl, Finally, what is the advantage of your city-state over theirs? Tesosomoc, Quetzalcoatl has only given you one opportunity, and how to seize this opportunity depends on your wisdom, courage, and courage."
"Wisdom...and courage?"
"I think the only ones who hate Quetzalcoatl are you, the Three Kingdoms Alliance. And the many city-states that you have conquered - I'm afraid they will like Quetzalcoatl even more."
Tesosomok showed a little confusion at first. But as he gradually understood the meaning of Ella's words, this confusion turned into a deep and terrifying ambition.
This is what Ella wants. The Staff Council has decided to support Tesosomoc and avoid the battle between the Pirate Kingdom and the Aztlan Empire. In this case, Tesozomoc will make things as big as possible in the Aztlan Empire.
"Master God, what should I do?"
"I don't know Aztlan, so I can't give you much advice." Ella said, "But I know that first, we have to take this city-state, and then we can tell everyone that Quetzalcoatl will change. Order of Aztlan!”
Tesosomok subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Suddenly, his body trembled, and he turned around and asked the two soldiers supporting him: "Do you smell anything?"
Ella sniffed it with her nose, and sure enough she smelled a faint fragrance. The scent seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't remember what it was. But Tesosomok had already shouted: "This is the incense that will invalidate the protection of the Sun God of War!"
"Incense?"
"We don't have any magic power left on us, so it doesn't matter." Tesosomok looked around alertly, "But why is there the smell of incense here? Where does it come from?"
Azite's warriors suddenly shrank their formation, protecting Tesosomoc and Ayla in the middle. The few warriors on the outermost edge spread out carefully with weapons in hand, looking for the source of the scent.
"It's okay to poison the body. Why would Osomalite use this kind of incense?" Ella was very confused. "They are also protected by the Sun God of War. Using this kind of incense is not to use their own magic. Banned?”
"Tratoani, the scent is coming from this direction!"
"Tratoani, from this direction!"
"Tratoani, this is the direction..."
Each searching warrior found the source of the scent, each pointing to a different house. In the low-rise building complex where they were located, every house was emitting the smell of incense.
The formation of the Aztlan people couldn't help but become tighter - they realized that they were surrounded,
"This is impossible." Ella's eyes widened in disbelief, "Osomat could not have predicted that we would come here! This makes no sense!"
"If it's not Ousalmat, then this area of Kalpuri is spontaneous." Tesosomok spat on the ground, "How on earth does this guy Ousalit manage this place?"
"Tratoani?"
An Aztlan warrior turned around and made a gesture, asking if he wanted to break into these houses.
Tesosomok shook his head. Suddenly, he raised his head and shouted:
"I don't know where you are hiding now, but if you still have a little courage, then follow me to save your brothers and sisters!"
