Tesosomok was speechless. Except for himself, Osomarit, and a few of Ella's cronies, no one else knew about the use of steamed buns as a substitute for human flesh sacrifice. Of course, it is impossible for Nezabarcoyotl to arrange personnel in advance. Based on the same reasoning, Nezavarcoyotl has no reason to even allow himself to lose the game.
All the spearheads and accusations are pointed at himself. Tesosomok never expected that the situation he had carefully arranged would be exploited by Nezahualcyotel in turn!
Seeing that Tesosomoc was speechless, Nezahualcyotel changed his harsh attitude and said kindly:
"Third brother, I don't want you to make a fool of yourself in public, but your partial behavior will make the empire look bad, so I have to stop you. I don't want to doubt Quetzalcoatl's ability, I just don't want you to be fooled. . Sacrifice those losers, and today’s matter will be over, okay?”
"Make a fool of myself? Why have I made a fool of myself!" Tesosomok shouted, "Bring that man up!"
A half-dressed man was pushed onto the square. There was another exclamation from the audience - they had recognized that this was the slave who had failed in the competition and had his heart ripped out.
"From the very beginning, sacrifices have been made using the hearts of animals." Tsosomok stared into Nezahualcyotel's eyes, "What do you say about that?"
"Third brother, why have you become so stingy?" Nesa Hualcoyotel shook his head, "Even if the number of prisoners sacrificed in a football match is enough, why don't you save money in front of the Sun God of War?"
"Saving? Am I a person who saves?" Tessosomok's neck turned red with anger. "Quadrysalva hates human sacrifice, so he came up with this alternative method!"
The audience began to chatter.
"Tratoani, I have a question." Masitra stood up and asked, "You said that human sacrifice was canceled because Quetzalcoatl stopped it. So, in the future, all the Aztlan Empire Will this be done during sacrifices? Does this mean that we no longer need to surrender slaves to the empire in the future?"
Tesosomok smiled, thinking that someone had finally asked the key question.
"Of course." He replied loudly, "As long as Quetzalcoatl is recognized as our main god during the New Fire Ceremony!"
He thought that this would gain cheers from all the Tratoanis sitting here and crush Nesa Hualcoyotl's insidious accusations. But to his surprise, not only did the Tratoani not have the expected reaction, but most of them looked frustrated and shook their heads in their seats.
"It sounds nice, but in fact it's impossible." Tinek muttered next to Masitra, "Tessosomoc only needs to make a show of putting forward this proposal, and then the Sun King and Nesa Hualcoyotl will do it again. Two votes against it, there’s no way it’s going to pass.”
"Second brother, the Sun King and I will not agree to such a ridiculous proposal just for your sake." Nesa Hualcoyotel stared at Tesosomok, "Or, your words have other meanings. ?”
Tesosomok felt a shiver in his heart: If he made his words clear here, it would be tantamount to declaring that he would launch a coup. The Sun King and Nesa Hualcoyotel would have the reputation to directly use force to suppress their rebellion. And if he continues to be vague, the audience present will think that Nezavarcoyotl's accusation is correct, and his reputation and status will plummet.
Originally, even if Tessosomok didn't say it clearly, 70% to 80% of the people present could guess that Tessosomok wanted to seize power. But under Nezahualcoyotel's preemptive questioning, everyone's thoughts were directed to whether Tesosomoc had lied, but no one thought that way.
Originally, the best outcome would have been for him to hint at the Tratoani while finding reasons to hold back the Sun King. With Nezabarcoyotl disrupting the situation, the two can only choose one or the other.
But I heard someone in the audience shout:
"Tesosomok, you have always said that changing the content of the sacrifice was the intention of Quetzalcoatl, but where is Quetzalcoatl? Where is the envoy? Why hasn't she appeared yet?"
"Well said, this is the root of the problem." Nesavalkyotel took over the words and said, "Tesosomoc, using Quetzalcoatl to replace the weakened Sun War God is not completely inappropriate. Maybe. The key is, is Quetzalcoatl powerful enough? Does it have the ability to replace the Sun God of War? If I don’t know this, how can I support you? Don’t blame me for going against you today. I really don’t want you to be seduced by a liar on the other side of the sea. , I fell into their trap."
Tesosomok glared at Nesavalkyot: “Then thank you for your concern.”
"Don't be like this, I'm already convinced that you have been deceived by them." Nesavalkyotel smiled slightly, and suddenly raised his voice and said to everyone, "As far as I know, Tesosomok is planning to let the so-called The divine envoy fought against a thousand soldiers to show his strength. Even if a thousand soldiers were defeated, it would only prove the strength of the second era, but the divine envoy did not dare to show up. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? I think the so-called divine messenger escaped a few days ago!"
However, before the two "Yaoyao" sounds of "escape" could be heard, an earth-shattering sound of howling wolves came over. Countless birds were frightened by the roar and flew over the venue in panic. A bird fled in a hurry and dropped a piece of bird excrement on Nesa Hulkyot's head with a pop.
Amy rushed into the venue holding Fenrir's neck. Aila's extremely heavy chariot was tied with a rope behind Fenrir.
"In the end it's better to use a horse-drawn cart!"
Ella climbed out of the chariot, stretched out, and did several warm-up exercises left and right in full view of everyone.
"Be prepared! Where is my opponent?"
She glanced around the venue. The only people standing inside were the teams from both sides plus Tsosomok and Nesavalkyotl. It didn't look like there were a thousand people. So she looked at Tesosomok and pointed toward the stands above the venue: "Are you going to beat up all those people up there?"
Just the intrusion of Fenrir and the iron-clad chariot had frightened the people in the stands and they couldn't figure out what kind of monster it was. Now seeing a person walking out of the monster's belly, threatening to beat them all up, everyone in the audience jumped in shock. Tinek and Masitra mingled with the crowd, eager to find an escape route from the stands.
But the woman riding on the wolf's back turned around and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Everyone up there is just an audience, right?"
"Stupid Amy, didn't you notice that Tesozomoc and the poor poet were standing below, while the people above were running non-stop? This is the custom of Aztlan, the audience is below and the performers are above, I am sure!"
