The Sun King closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky. After a moment of silence, he said:
"This offensive plan...sounds quite incredible."
Ella felt sweat forming on her palms. The weakness of the Sun King's snake-shaped deployment is indeed very obvious. Could it be that this was a trap set by the Sun King? She did not mention this long snake-shaped formation, but mentioned this fantasy-like battle plan that she had come up with, so she had actually fallen into the trap?
"However, the enemies this time are originally a group of incredible people. It is not surprising that they would use this plan."
The Sun King nodded to himself. When he opened his eyes, the previous ferocity in his eyes was gone.
"You are a smart man. The man you are looking for is not as smart as you at all, and I like you better than him."
"So...?" Ella asked cautiously, "Have you met him?"
"Who have you seen? The lord of Huacostipec, or the lord of Kaunahuac? These two city-states are not far from Tenochtitlan. As the Sun King, of course I have seen him a long time ago. No matter which one you are, they are just useless people with no abilities. And you interest me very much."
Sun Dynasty took a big step forward, getting closer to Ella.
"Tell me, who are you looking for? Is it one of the two people I expected?"
Just as the Sun King's voice fell, a voice suddenly came from the camp:
"Report to the Sun King! We caught an intruder in your tent!"
Ella's expression was tense and he was concentrating on responding to the Sun King's question. This sudden sound was like a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the middle of the night, making his body shake violently and his heartbeat racing. jumped up. Turning her head following the voice, she saw a man - the lord of Huacostipec State, who was being escorted from the left and right by two Aztlan soldiers, walking out from the direction of the Sun King's tent.
The lord of Huacostipec State is relatively short, about the same height as Ella. He walks timidly and has fear written all over his eyes. He was wearing cotton clothes, and there was no weapon on him. He didn't look like someone who could sneak into the Sun King's tent.
The Sun King turned sideways and smiled meaningfully at Ella: "Is this the person you are looking for? It seems that my guess is indeed correct."
"Too...Sun King! I didn't invade!"
The lord of Huacostipec State was frightened out of his mind. He could not break away from the escort of the two Aztlan soldiers, so he could only defend himself with a trembling voice:
"I came in through the gate! I have informed you that I want to see you, and I have been waiting for you to come back in your tent! They suddenly broke in... and said I was an intruder!"
"Really?" The Sun King looked at the two soldiers guarding the door, "Did he come in through the gate?"
"Report to the Sun King!" The two Aztlan soldiers stood up straight and replied, "I didn't see anyone coming in!"
"No, I... you see clearly, it's me?" The lord of Huacostipec State was so anxious that he almost cried, "Didn't I just walk in in front of you? Can you take a closer look? I I also gave each of you a few cocoa beans!"
"Shut up." The Sun King glared at Huacosti Pekbon with a stern look, "Do you want to say that my most trusted Leopard Warrior accepted your bribe?"
"It's not a bribe! It's just a little kindness. I...I came in openly!"
"I already said during the day that I hate to be disturbed when I'm resting. Are you here to assassinate me, or are you here to make me unhappy?"
"No, I...I..."
The lord of Huacostipec State became more and more panicked as he spoke. He glanced to the side and saw Ella. He seemed to suddenly wake up and turned around. He waved his head in the direction of Ella: "I'm here to report! Someone wants to rebel, and this is it..."
Ella's heart tightened. Unexpectedly, the Sun King suddenly shouted at the lord:
"Trash! I told you to shut up. Are you disobeying my order?"
The Sun King waved his hand, and the two Aztlan soldiers who were guarding the lord of Huacostipec immediately let go of their hands. The lord of Huacostipec was suddenly relieved. Before he could react, he saw the Sun King throwing away his cloak, twisting his neck and pinching his knuckles.
Realizing what the Sun King was going to do, the lord of Huacostipec showed deep fear in his eyes. He stepped back continuously, and while retreating, he shouted in a panic:
"No... you can't do this. I came in through the main entrance and informed you. You are committing murder... If you touch me, Huacostipec State will not let you go...!"
Before he could say the last word "you", the Sun King suddenly appeared in front of him from five steps away and punched him hard in the abdomen. The air made a loud sound like a drumbeat. Amidst the miserable screams, a hole was opened in the lord of Huacostipec State's stomach, and the intestines inside were squeezed into minced meat, mixed with blood and splashed out, spreading all over the floor. His body also flew a hundred meters away under this punch, and dozens of tents along the way collapsed together.
There was a shallow mark left on the mud, which was the mark left by the Sun King's fist on the ground.
Ella was stunned by this sudden change.
The Sun King twisted his neck a few times, and the cloak handed over by the soldier was put back on his body.
"You know, I never want to hear about anyone wanting to rebel."
While wiping his hands with the cotton cloth handed over by the soldier, he said to Ella:
"Sitting on this throne, I don't know how many people will spy on me. It's impossible for me to kill all those people. As long as their minds are still clear and they can clearly understand the gap in strength, they have not taken the final step. Courage, to me, is a person who is valuable and can be used. However, there are also differences between people. I like smart people. You are smarter than him, so he is dead and you are still alive."
This is no longer a hint. The Sun King was almost telling Ella bluntly: He knew Tesosomok wanted to rebel, but he didn't mind.
Standing in front of such a Sun King, Ella felt that she was almost breathless.
"Why is this the lord of a city-state?" she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's just a conquered dog. I have never paid attention to him or his city-state. Let Huacostipec be replaced by Tratoani. If they want to rebel, that's fine. There can be tens of thousands more hearts.”
In the distance, Aztlan soldiers came over holding a bright red heart, which was dug out from the chest of the lord of Huacostipec.
"Your understanding of the enemy will be of great use in this war. Rest here for a few days, and then go out with me with Tesosomok."
The Sun King took the heart and swallowed it into his mouth like a tomato.
