"This smell is getting more and more wrong." Ella frowned, "Ever since Nesa Hualcoyotel appeared on the island, I feel like I have been being led by him."
"The troops of my own city-state will not be transferred away by him. In a few days, they should be assembled to catch up." Tesosomok said: "But I also feel the same. When he suddenly appeared on the island, I I just thought he was the mastermind behind the attack that night. But when I found out that he had deployed tens of thousands of troops on the other side of the island, I knew I was wrong - what he was planning must be bigger than I imagined. many."
"Indeed, it makes no sense that he pre-arranged his troops on the other side of the island. Unless he knew our plan in advance - but that is absolutely impossible. We were attacked the night we landed on the island, and the next day He is already on the island. He shouldn’t even know that we will land on the island, right?”
"That's true." Tesosomok pondered. "He didn't even know that there would be so many lords summoned to the island by me. Then why did he arrange so many lords on the other side in advance? army?"
"It's useless to think about it so much." Ella shook her head and put aside the chaotic thoughts. "Although I don't know what he wants to do, there is nothing wrong with confronting him. He wants to take us with him. If we are separated from the Sun King, then we must find a way to join him."
"It's definitely not possible to directly propose leaving the team." Tesosomok asked, "Master God Envoy, do you have any plans?"
"I can't think of anything! In short, it's just making trouble first! Then making trouble!"
"First make trouble, then make trouble? What happens after the trouble?"
"Then he continues to cause trouble! He makes trouble to the point where he can't bear it anymore! I don't know what will happen next. In short, he just plays by ear!"
Tesosomok was a little shocked by Ella's plan: "Then...how to do it specifically?"
"We'll think about the specific plan later." Ella covered her stomach again with a face full of pain, "Here we go again... I have to find a way to get rid of the fruit I ate in my stomach first."
Around three to four o'clock in the afternoon, Nezahualcoyotl met with the chiefs of the local tribes. Although Tesosomoc had difficulty moving, he let the soldiers carry him on a stretcher and kept an eye on Nezahual Coyotl. As for the Tratoani from other city-states, Nezahualcyotel did not invite them at all.
This is a tribe that lives on the edge of Aztlan's power. The local leader guarded the entrance of the tribe cautiously, followed by a dozen strong tribesmen, each covered with brown bear skin. The local priest also stood next to the leader. His face was smeared with animal blood, and he had an unpleasant smell of herbs. His whole back was raised like a hump, and his head was lower than his back.
After seeing Nezahualcoyotel, the leader of the tribe bowed slightly, saluted, and then immediately straightened his back and said: "Lord Nezahualcoyotel, this time our tribe will stand unswervingly. On the part of the empire, we also ask the empire to abide by its promise and exempt us from paying tribute for the next five years.”
For this tribe, Nezahualcoyotl's attitude was obviously more respectful than that for the Tratoani of other city-states. When the leader of the tribe saluted him, he returned the salute seriously.
"Chief Munameneke, among the people of the empire, except for our three tribes on Lake Texcoco, your tribe is the most courageous in fighting." He said, "With your support, foreign invaders will not be a problem. As long as If the war goes smoothly, everything will be fine."
The leader nodded, and then saluted Tesosomok on the stretcher.
"Lord Tesosomok, the last time we met was more than ten years ago. I admire your skills in fists and kicks. I wonder who hurt you this time? As long as you say a word, I will immediately get it back for you. justice."
"It's a long story. I was frivolous and ignorant, and I offended the angel. I got hurt at my own expense." Tessosomok also climbed up from the stretcher and returned the salute seriously, "Please don't talk about asking for justice again. Something like that.”
"God's envoy?" The leader was a little surprised, "Which god?"
Before Tesosomoc could answer, Nezahualcoyotl jumped in front and said with a smile: "Quetzalcoatl. Tesosomoc brought a man who claimed to be the envoy of Quetzalcoatl back to Aztlan. She is heading north with the army this time."
"Quetzalcoatl? I seem to have heard something about it. I heard from you Aztlan people that it seems to have left towards the east of the sea. Has it finally sent an envoy back?" The leader looked behind Nezahual Coyotel. Looking around, "Where is she? Can you let me see her?"
Hearing this, the hunchbacked priest coughed displeasedly and warned in a hoarse voice: "Munamenek, don't let other gods approach this place. Our gods will be unhappy."
"Is there such a theory?" The leader turned his head and asked, "Didn't you let Aztlan priests in before?"
“No, it’s no,” said the hunchbacked priest. “Last night, the God of the Spring whispered in my ears that an evil god was approaching. No matter what, we must keep him away. "
"Evil god?" Tesosomok was a little unhappy, "How could you slander our Quetzalcoatl like this?"
"Calm down, Tesosomoc." Nezahualcyotel smiled, "The beliefs of the Mescalero tribe have never been at odds with ours. Haven't we always tolerated them?"
"You just said that the god of spring water wants us to cooperate with the Aztlan people." The leader asked the priest, "Why are you saying that the other party's god is evil now?"
The priest was obviously stunned.
"Don't question God's wisdom, Munamenek." There was a hint of anger in his words, "That's what God told me. It's okay to take in the Aztlan people, but you can't let their priests get close to our statues. !”
"There is no need to argue about this." Nezahualcyotel smiled to mediate the dispute between the chief and the priest. "Although the envoy followed us north, she is busy in the grass now and has not followed."
——"Who said I didn't come!"
The sudden shout startled everyone. When he turned around, he saw Aila leading a group of city-state lords rushing towards this direction. She walked forward, waved her hand to push Nezahualcyotel back, and stood in front of the leader with her chest held out. She originally wanted to look down at the leader and give him a sense of oppression, but since the leader was much taller than her, she could only raise her head and stare at the leader like a child.
"Is this...?" the leader of the tribe asked with a frown.
Tesosomok was about to answer when he was stopped by Ella.
"I am the messenger of Quetzalcoatl!" She glanced at all the tribesmen menacingly, "Since you have seen the messenger of the god, why don't you worship!"
