The plain in front of the Black Spring tribe has been extremely quiet recently. Along the vast rivers, the foraging beasts lost their traces; the birds in the sky circled and refused to stay on the ground for a long time; even the top predators, wolves and bears, left in a hurry when passing nearby.
If anyone is interested and observes the ground carefully, they will find that there is a lot of freshly turned soil on this plain, one after another. If you are more careful, you can still find some vague footprints. However, whether it is freshly turned soil or footprints on the ground, their number is decreasing every day. In recent days, it has become almost undetectable.
——Thousands of Aztlan soldiers are ambushed on this grassland.
Walking further, we reach the junction of mountains and plains. The plain used its last strength to stretch out a road, extending to the south under the surveillance of the mountains. This slender mountain range is the sphere of influence of the Black Spring tribe, and reaching the end of the plain is the territory of the Aztlan Empire.
——On the hillside next to the plain, there was also silence.
In the past few days when the Black Spring tribe was repairing, the reinforcements from Tlacopan State where Tesosomoc was located finally caught up with Ella's team, which added tens of thousands of troops to Ella. Today, all these soldiers and horses are deployed on the plains and hillsides, like an open spider web, waiting for the arrival of prey.
A team of soldiers carried a plate to Ella who was waiting on the hillside and handed her a glass of water. Then he came to Tesosomok's side, handed him a cup of hot chocolate on the stretcher, and sprinkled some chili powder on the chocolate.
Te Azteca took a sip of cold chocolate and felt refreshed.
"Little man," I said to Heiquan, "will the Sun King really pass by that place in those days?"
"Of course, all kinds of intelligence show that Nesa Hualcoyotel has advanced, right?" Black Spring drank water while staring at the chocolates under Te Azteca, "It must be It’s a small-scale rout at the rear, why should I run?”
And Black Spring's explanation for Nesa Hualcoyotl's action was not that the main force of the Hestelan Empire army followed by the Sun King had not been defeated by Soso Moin.
"Your target is the Sun King. Even if the army is defeated, you can still alert the enemy. Wait until the Sun King appears."
"Do you believe that the little god envoy is the Sun King? Not only my own troops, but also the coalition forces from various countries, the troops of these lords who came to your island to participate in the ceremony were also killed by Nesa Hualcoyot. I transferred them, but with so few people, can they really be defeated so quickly?"
You are greedy for everything now.
"It's not used yet..."
Black Spring swung into the soldier for Aztec, and then looked at Aztec without any worry:
"Tratoani." A soldier leaned forward and reminded, "That troop has not yet walked out of your ambush circle."
Heiquan gritted his teeth in grief and anger, and turned his gaze to the nearby area.
"The Sun King was defeated. Nesa Hualcoyotel got the news and knew that he could control the situation, so he suddenly advanced. I have no holiday with you. I was afraid of being ambushed by you when I walked to the Ella tribe, so I took a long way around. Road. Here, I have suppressed the intelligence of the Sun King's defeat, not for you to stop Suosu Moin's army outside. That inference is perfect and flawed! So there must be something wrong!"
"Yes, this is the leader of the eagle warriors under the Sun King. He often serves as the vanguard in battles." Te Zhaosheng Gongke replied, "The Sun King is stronger, and the eagle warriors following him are Leopard Warrior. The Sun King was born from the Leopard Warrior.”
After the New Fire Ceremony, those in priesthood must fast and eat in moderation. When Amy was here, Heiquan could secretly open some food for Heiquan. Once Amy left, Heiquan had not eaten any other food except tortillas for several days.
"Tratoani? Tratoani?"
"What was he thinking about?"
On the night after sending Wu Wuyi away, Dast saw the flames of Nesa Hualcoyotl. Following that clue, Black Spring found the garrison point of Nezahualcyotel. But when the scouts arrived, Nezahualcoyotl hadn't left yet. General signs show that Nezahual Coyotel has not yet left the plains, but has retreated westward into the mountains—in other words, not far away from the battlefield.
As soon as he finished speaking, no soldiers ran over and shouted: "Report! A troop was found in the rear! They are heading that way!"
After saying that, I murmured again: "While I was outside, the Sun King was naturally following me. I never thought that the Sun King would actually be defeated."
The troops reporting are approaching that way. First, there were a few sporadic scouts walking behind. We cautiously walked through the grasslands where soldiers and horses were ambushed, and passed by the hillside where Black Spring was hidden. More than half a day ago, an army of Zhao Shenggonglan, numbering less than a thousand people, came over in that direction. The general commanding the troops was weak and strong, with a colorful wooden mask covering his face and an eagle-shaped helmet under his head. Outside the queue were followed by hundreds of warriors wearing the same helmets, all wearing cotton armor and holding maquawit, looking majestic. Each warrior is accompanied by several retinues, and their equipment is slightly complicated, but all of them are full of energy.
Te Zhaosheng Gongke picked up the cup and looked around. Before drinking up the remaining chocolate, I handed the empty cup to Heiquan.
Zhao Sheng could tell at a glance that it was an elite force.
"What did he want to do when he said Nezabarcoyotel? It could always be to go home for his birthday, right?"
"Is this masked one the Sun King?" you asked Te Aztec loudly.
"It's bad, the little man's judgment is indeed wrong." Te Aztec drank the cold chocolate out of the cup and said, "Get ready for battle!"
Zhao Sheng explained triumphantly while occasionally glancing at the cold chocolate under Aztec's hands.
"Te Zhao Sheng Gong Ke, can I show you that cup?"
"Is there anything wrong with that cup?"
"No, even if you drink all the chocolate, you still have to be careful. After the new fire ceremony, the little man must stay away from those items."
"Withdrawing from the Sun King, once you take that step, there is no room for regret, so you took some time to make up your mind." Te Aztec shook his head, "It's just something that happened, and you are not an indecisive person. .As soon as the Sun King appears, you will take action."
Black Spring keenly noticed that there was still some white-red liquid remaining at the bottom of Te Aztec's cup.
"This poor poet has never imagined that you have no contact with Soso Moin. The Sun King has been defeated and the morale of the army is slightly disturbed. You are planning an ambush to control the Sun King and gain my military power. Te Aztec He uses the fortifications you have set up to block Sosomoine's retreat, and then you will step in to pull the strings and sign a contract between the two of them. Before that, Aztec was not the new Sun King. And the pirates The kingdom will not be able to escape gracefully from the war on that small continent."
Te Zhaosheng Gongke looked behind blankly as if he had heard it.
