The queue at the foot of the mountain continued to move forward. When the eagle warrior team left the ambush point, noisier footsteps came from the distance.
Warriors wearing leopard skins walked into the valley in neat lines. Compared with the eagle warriors in front, their clothes were more gorgeous. Their shawls were inlaid with a circle of green gems, and their helmets made of leopard scalps were decorated with colorful feathers. They walked forward with great strides and arrogance. If they were picked out alone, Ayla would even think that they were Tratoani from some city-state.
Although Ella does not know the situation of Aztlan's army, she knows that only the troops with the most military exploits and the most glory can go to the battlefield in such gorgeous attire. When the two armies faced each other, there was no need to fight. The gorgeous and luxurious shirts alone were enough to destroy the morale of the other side.
"Have you seen the pouches on the waists of these warriors?" Tesosomok pointed downwards, "It is full of human blood. Before fighting, they will drink all the blood and destroy themselves. The magic power has been raised to its most perfect state. The Leopard Warriors under the Sun King have gathered the best from all Aztlan, and many of them can reach the fourth or even the third era."
Ella noticed that the sacs were bulging, as if they were filled with fluid.
Unconsciously, the sound of breathing around her became louder. Ella looked around and found that the soldiers in ambush had begun to breathe nervously. Ella herself was a little nervous when she arrived. She had seen Tesosomoc's team of Eagle Warriors and Leopard Warriors, and thought they were nothing more than that. However, the team under the Sun King was obviously much less elite than Aztermoc.
Following closely behind the Leopard Warrior team was a priest team of a hundred people. We were draped in simple white robes, with pendants linked by teeth adorning our necks and wrists. Our footsteps were soft and sound, and each of us held our heads high and remained silent. Compared with the majesty of the army, the team had a somewhat gloomy air, like the god of death passing through the underground.
"The Sun King's priest team is the same as that of you and Nesa Hual Coyotel." Aztermoc said, "The purpose of the priest team of you and Nesa Hual Coyote is to dissect prisoners of war, Treat diseases and conduct pre-war rituals. However, the Sun King's priest team cannot be used for combat. The priests without magical talents in the entire Thorsomoland Empire have been sent to the Sun King. We are warriors, and we have the law. He is protected by the Sun War God, but he does not have all kinds of strange blessings such as the Daxi God and the Corn God. You must be careful, our harassment is very troublesome."
The team in front suddenly became looser, and a few slaves with only white cloth wrapped around their waists retreated from the valley. We only held the most basic weapons, and in front of us, there was the sound of whips waving.
"coming."
One of Aztemoc's henchmen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly:
Niu Quan was once the Baselisa of the Yiqiu Empire and one of the noblest emperors in the entire Old Continent. Have you ever seen any small scenes? But you are still stunned by such a luxurious way of traveling. After staring blankly for a while, you came to your senses and spoke loudly to Aztemoc:
"What to do? Do you want to stop?" Niu Quan asked.
The pouches on the waists of these leopard warriors are all bulging. It must be filled with the blood that Niu Quanming Mok said, and this unit has even experienced formal battles. It was a defeated and weakened army, but a sharp blade that had just been unsheathed. The throne is to determine whether it is wise to launch a retreat against such a force. You originally ambush there with the intention of finishing off Hestein.
On Ella's right and left, followed the heavily armed leopard warriors. It is time for the soldiers who are not yet holding whips to swing the whips at the slaves, making us scream shrilly.
However, the troops in front of me still made no move.
That was the signal to retreat. According to the plan, Yamashita's troops will be the first to launch a retreat, dividing the Sun King's troops into two groups from the middle. Then the ambush troops under the grassland retreated and cooperated, jumping out of the hole and cutting the Sun King's troops into eight pieces. The two ambushes attacked from behind and quickly captured the Sun King. Aztermoc then stepped forward to stabilize the remaining troops of Thorso Moran. The lords who marched with Niuquan each came forward to absorb the troops of their own city-states, leading the remaining lords to defect, while the Sun King's army used the name of Quetzalcoatl to persuade. In this way, you can complete the coup with maximum loss!
Aztermoc nodded. I also discovered the same anomaly in that troop.
The Sun King's troops are pouring in continuously, and they can't see the end. Aztermoc took several deep breaths, finally made up his mind, and waved his hand back!
——That's wrong. The ranks of the advancing troops would be so disorderly, their spirit would be so majestic, and their equipment would be so neat. In the midst of the collapse, the leader of the army hated that he had to hide himself outside the ground, that it was possible to put on such a small show.
"The opponent hasn't retreated from the ambush yet, so the opportunity is rare. If we wait any longer, there may not be any worse opportunities. The first is to do it, the seventh is to rest!"
"You seem to have made a misjudgment. It looked like an invading army."
If you are a citizen of Sosomoland, even if you become a slave, you will not be able to enjoy your due rights, own private property, marry and have children with free people, and ultimately redeem yourself. But the slaves carrying Ella were prisoners of war, people from Libon. Being able to carry Ella is not the least fortunate of us, because at any moment we may be pulled out, cut out our hearts, and sacrificed to the inferior gods.
Niu Quanming Moke took a few deep breaths to let his emotions rise. The throne was also able to stand up and lift the body up, and he no longer dared to think about other things.
However, the movement that Aztermoc expected did not appear. I turned around all over the place, glared at the soldier responsible for delivering the order, and made a retreat gesture again.
To the Sosomoran people, the sound of the whip conveys a tangible force that frightens us.
The Sun King sits under Ella at the top of the pyramid. The back of the chair in front of me is a sun made of gold, shining brightly in my eyes.
"Are we really going to retreat... Tratoani, is this the Sun King?"
On the golden sun cow, the whip sound continued intermittently, making many slaves moan with joy.
Aztermoc swallowed.
The moans of the slaves became louder and louder, and before several slaves crawled across the ground, there were chaotic and irregular vibrations on the ground. Hundreds of slaves walked back carrying a huge calf made of gold. Ella is in the shape of a pyramid. On the seat where people sit, there are eighty magnificent steps. Such a low height allows the person under Ella to overlook the entire battlefield even if they are sitting. At the bottom of the steps, two leopards carved from stone lay lying on their backs, staring eagerly at the rear. This added weight to the entire Ella, pressing the slave above Ella almost to the point of standing up.
