After bidding farewell to the Sun King, Tesosomok and Ella led the army towards the predetermined camp.
"The leader of the Leopard Warriors of the Sun King is named Xue Qi Pei Pei. In terms of strength alone, he is weaker than my Izkoatl and Chimal Popoka." Tesosomok whispered to Ella, " But he has a bright mind. He is not only a warrior, but also good at gathering information. Therefore, the Sun King keeps him by his side. In the past few years, I have never seen the Sun King send him on a distant mission like this."
As he spoke, Xuechipepe leaned towards Tesosomok's stretcher. Although he is only a warrior, his clothes are studded with green gems, and he looks comparable to Tesosomok.
"Tratoani, long time no see."
He said hello to Tesosomoc and then looked down at his injured hands and feet.
"Tratoani, you were seriously injured. I heard that Chimalpopoca and Izcoatl also folded on the other side of the sea. This is really a pity. If I had known this, it would be better to let I will go to war for you, Tratoani."
Tesosomok snorted unhappily: "You mean, you can succeed if you just go?"
"Don't dare! I just care about you, Tratoani, and I can't wait to get hurt for you!" Xue Qipeipei said, "But don't worry. Although you are injured, Tratoani, as long as I am here, it will definitely We won’t let the Sun King’s army fail – don’t worry, no one will do it.”
"So, we have to work together next?"
Xue Qi Peipei clapped her hands on her chest: "Work together and work together! There are so many city-state lords here, mixed together, and it is inevitable that someone will have evil intentions, but I will work hard to find out everything, and the Sun King is waiting for me to report regularly. "
These words were spoken to Tesosomoc, but the assurance was always given to the Sun King, who was not here. The meaning of the words was extremely obvious - he was here to monitor Tesosomoc on behalf of the Sun King. Not only that, he also agreed to communicate regularly with the Sun King. If Tesosomoc intended to kill him, the Sun King would notice it soon if he did not receive the contact.
Ella sighed silently - she had known for a long time that the Sun King would not let them leave so easily.
Along with Xue Qipei, there were about a hundred leopard warriors. They did not gather together, but were interspersed among the troops. Except for restraining themselves a bit when meeting Tesosomok and Ella, these leopard warriors were arrogant towards everyone. They were more like supervisors sent by the Sun King to drive slaves than Xue Qi Peipei's guards.
In this state, the troops marched for several days. According to Xue Qipei's introduction, the army of more than 30,000 people is being divided into six camps and stationed separately. There is a half-day to one-day interval between each two adjacent camps. And Ella is only one day away from the nearest one.
That night, Ella and Tesosomok discussed their future plans in the military camp as usual. After Ella's hand drew on an extremely abstract map provided by Xue Qipei for a while, she suddenly raised her head as if remembering something:
"In order to get in touch with Hestein, in addition to avoiding the Sun King's eyes, is there another most critical issue that we have forgotten?"
“What is the most critical question?”
"Where are Hestein's troops...?"
"Huh?" Tesosomok was surprised, "Master God Envoy, don't you know?"
"Tsosomok, you know?"
"How could I know? I thought you knew, Lord Envoy of God?"
Ella shrugged. Tesosomoc suddenly fell silent - presumably, if he could know the specific location of Hestein, the Sun King would go straight to their camp and kill them.
"I've figured out a way to solve it!" Ella suddenly shouted and grabbed the map, "Look at these military camps, each one is arranged beside the river. As long as they keep their positions unchanged, Hestein's The troops will always find them and come to harass them. Then we can try to make contact..."
"But the Sun King's order is to stay away from the river. This is what you said yourself, Lord God Envoy." Tesosomok looked embarrassed, "We are now being monitored by the Leopard Warriors, and we have to hide like this now when discussing issues. How are you going to explain to Xue Qipei that the army has arranged such a big thing along the river?"
While speaking, the guard's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Tratoani, Lord God Envoy, someone wants to see you."
"Who?" Tesosomok raised his head alertly, "It's not Xue Qipei, right?"
"No. It's the Tratoani of the two city-states."
Tesosomok and Ella looked at each other, carefully put away the spread map, and then let the guards in. Not long after, the two people in the report tiptoed and cautiously entered the camp.
Ella recognized the two people: "Mastra? Tinaik?" Why are you here? "
"During the day, Xue Qipeipei and his men have been hovering around the God Envoy and Tratoani. It is not convenient for us to talk, so we can only come here at night."
Mastela mysteriously took out a roll of paper from his sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to Ella. Tesosomok glanced aside: "What is this?"
"This is a petition we wrote to the messenger of Quetzalcoatl and to the Tratoani of Tracopan State. Below are the blood letters of the lords of various states." Tinaik said in a trembling voice, "All the people listed All the lords have signed their names here, and with this scroll, no one can escape the relationship. Please, your two masters, must lead us, overthrow the Sun King, and replace the Sun War God with Quetzalcoatl."
Ella spread out the paper. At the end of the ordinary text, the names of the lords were written in different blood. She glanced at Tesosomok and handed the paper over. Tesosomok rolled up the paper without looking and stuffed it into his clothes.
Mastela took advantage of the situation and said: "We will arrive at the camp tomorrow. The Sun King said that it is an important location for storing supplies. As long as Tratoani is willing to raise the anti-flag, it can definitely give the Sun King a fatal blow!"
"You mean - seize supplies, raise a rebellion, and deal a fatal blow to the Sun King's army?"
"Yes……"
"It's a ghost! All your troops have been separated by the Sun King. What use can you do with the few people you have now?" Tesosomok glared and cursed, "Whether it's your soldiers at the camp you're about to arrive at, The main force in my hands is still Aztlan! The Sun King is fighting the enemy. It has not been defeated yet, and there is no sign of failure. Under such circumstances, how many Aztlan soldiers will stab him in the back? Respond to me? On the contrary, we will become the enemy of the entire Aztlan! How many soldiers and horses do you have now? Can you stop Aztlan's army of 100,000 people?"
Teaneck and Mastela's faces suddenly turned pale with fear. Seeing this, Ella shook her head, sighed, and comforted:
"Don't be afraid. What Tessosomok means is that the time is not right. We are in discussions and will contact you when the opportunity is ripe. Don't be anxious and retreat first. Be careful when you go out, don't let Xue Qi Peipei's people Saw it."
However, before he finished speaking, Xue Qipei's voice sounded outside the camp:
"Tratoani! You are discussing military affairs here, why did you leave me alone?"
