Chapter 551: The Battle of Tree Snake City, a fight to the death
"Crash..."
It was approaching dusk, the sky was getting dark, and the rain kept pouring. The continuous rain washed away the bright red traces and made the road slippery. The warriors' shouts of killing came from all directions, one after another, sometimes clear in the rain, sometimes a little blurry.
Travito, the cloud snake hunter, was desperate. He took a few personal bodyguards to protect his newlywed wife and fled all the way. Behind him, a fire broke out in the sacred pyramid temple, which was quickly extinguished in the rain, and finally the flag of the Mexica God of War was planted.
Chichipati looked back from time to time, looking at the fallen temple, and cried softly. She is only sixteen years old this year, and she has always been doted on by her father. It was not until the war was urgent that she was betrothed to the heroic cloud snake hunter.
At this moment, amid the fire and heavy rain, the noble divine girl finally lost her father's protection. She could only rely on her husband in front of her, and embarked on a panic-stricken escape surrounded by countless terrifying enemies.
"This is the destination of the gods. They come from the high places in the clouds, gather into endless lakes, and go to the bottomless abyss!..."
Inexplicably, the prayers recited by the Cloud Snake priests flashed through the mind of the young girl. It was the end of the Fourth Age, the chapter of the Great Flood and Doomsday, and the beginning of the Fifth Age.
"Crack! Click!"
The heavy rain was heavy, and Travito swung his war club continuously, killing two Mexica warriors who suddenly appeared. He was familiar with the terrain and kept following the narrow alleys, rarely encountering enemies that blocked him. At this moment, looking at the golden-lined battle clothes on the corpses of these two warriors, the Cloud Snake Hunter's expression suddenly froze, and he felt something strange in his heart.
"The Mexica's Xiajin Army... the West City was lost..."
"Vito...huh, huh..."
Two steps away, Chichipati gasped for air and spoke out a difficult reminder.
"Behind...there seems to be a pursuer behind!"
"Um?!"
Hearing this, Travito was shocked all over. He ignored the west city wall that was right in front of him and immediately turned around to be on guard, looking into the rain.
Soon, in the pouring rain, more than a dozen Mexica warriors in dark green uniforms gradually revealed themselves and approached from the other end of the alley. And at the front, a burly figure was running steadily towards him, looking vaguely familiar.
"Damn Mexicans, chasing after me like dead dogs!"
Travito cursed under his breath and pulled Chichipati behind him, carefully blocking him.
This was the divine wife he had finally obtained. Even if all his personal guards were killed in battle, he must not lose it. Because, as long as he and Chichipati give birth to offspring, his family will become a respected divine noble. From then on, the blood of the Cloud Snake will flow, and they will have the qualifications to rule the city-state and all the people! ...The people of Tlaxcala respect noble species and blood, which is evident from this.
"Protect the princess!"
Upon hearing the order, the remaining four or five warriors clenched their war clubs, took two steps forward, and blocked the narrow alley tightly.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Turquoise Tesihuite held a shield, hung his war stick, and came running quickly through the accumulated rainwater. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Travito, who was standing opposite him. The corners of his mouth gradually widened, revealing a rock-like smile.
"Ha! Got you!"
"It's you! Damn turtle!"
Seeing the general opposite him clearly, the brave Cloud Snake Hunter frowned, feeling troubled. Time was urgent, and he was not sure that he could defeat his opponent quickly.
"hehe!"
Hearing the name "Turtle", Texihuite snorted and charged forward with his shield raised. Behind him, a dozen sour wood warriors raised their war sticks at an angle and were about to pounce on him.
"Wait a moment!"
Travito looked around, saw the disparity in numbers between the two sides, and shouted urgently.
"The black... green stone opposite, I want to have a one-on-one sacred duel with you!"
"Um?"
Tesiwhit stepped down, raised his arms, and the warrior who was about to charge stopped. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked deeply at the opposite side through the dense raindrops.
"Despicable archer! You said you want to fight with me?"
"Exactly, witnessed by the gods!"
Travito's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly.
"Sacred duel is the glory of a warrior. Fight to the death to please the gods! ... Green Stone, do you dare?"
"Hmm... a date for a fight?"
Texihuite pondered for a moment, looked at the challenging warrior in front of him, and slowly nodded in agreement.
"Can!"
Although, in the past two years, new changes are being implemented rapidly in the league. However, the old traditions and customs are still deeply rooted in people's hearts, especially in the conservative alliance city-states.
At this moment, in the swaying wind and rain, and amid the shouts of death nearby, Turquoise Tesiwhit straightened his back and held his shield in his chest. According to the traditional ceremony, he raised his war stick and bowed his head slightly in salute.
"Witness the god of war Huitzilopochtli! I, the warrior from Tepanicapan, Turquoise Tesihuite, challenge the brave warrior of Tlaxcala to a fight!"
"The God of Hunting, Miscuatl, bless you! I, the warrior from Ocotruco, the cloud snake hunter Travito, challenge the tough Mexica warrior to a fight!"
Travito took a step forward and also bowed his head in salute. He fled in a hurry. He did not carry a heavy shield, but only an obsidian war club and a bronze short axe.
"Tick tock..."
It was quiet for a moment, except for the pattering of raindrops. After both parties saluted, they both raised their heads and looked at their opponents ten steps away. Their eyes are as sharp as wild beasts, with the determination to hunt their opponents and the courage not to fear death.
"despair!"
Travito took a deep breath, suddenly like a cheetah, stepping on the rain on the ground, and pounced towards the burly opponent. While running quickly, he turned his war stick and changed into an assault stance holding the stick in both hands... The Mexican warriors were pouring into the city. He didn't have much time, he had to defeat the enemy with one blow!
"Ta-ta..."
Tesswhit sank down, as steady as a mountain range. He holds a shield in his left hand and a stick in his right hand, maintaining the most traditional warrior posture.
"Wow!"
Travito raised his hands high, and with the power of the charge, he suddenly slashed diagonally towards the right side of the opponent's neck, which was difficult to cover with his shield.
"boom!"
Texi Whitt seems to be heavy, but his steering is extremely quick. He turned slightly to the right, took a step back, and raised the wooden shield diagonally with his left hand, just in time to block the war club. Then, he suddenly thrust out his right hand, and slashed the sharp blade of the war stick towards the enemy's waist and abdomen.
"despair!"
Travito jumped to the left, avoiding the opponent's war stick, and landed with a horizontal slash. Then, there was another violent "bang" sound.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Continuous crashing sounds resounded from the solid wooden shield, like heavy rain hitting the rocks. Travito is like an agile cheetah surrounding the tough brown bear, constantly swinging his claws.
The warriors on both sides held their breaths as they watched the leader's fight. It looked like Travito had firmly gained the upper hand and was launching ferocious attacks to suppress the Turquoise General.
"Hoo, ho!"
Texi Whitt's breathing was steady and a smile appeared on his lips. The cloud snake hunter's breathing began to become rapid. He was a little anxious in his heart. Such a ferocious offensive came at the cost of huge physical exertion and would definitely not last long! ...
"Damn it, we have to fight to the death!"
After hesitating for a few breaths, the Cloud Snake Hunter gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He suddenly took a step back, suddenly pulled out the copper ax from his waist, and quickly threw it towards his opponent's face.
"Um?!"
The copper ax whizzed in, and Texihuite suddenly changed color. He has been in battle for a long time, and his arm has already realized one step ahead, raising the shield and blocking it in front of his eyes.
"Duh!"
A dull impact sounded on the shield. Texi Whitt swayed slightly and steadied himself. He had a brush with death, and rage surged in his heart, threatening to burn the enemy opposite him to ashes.
"Despicable archer! How dare you steal..."
"kill!"
The cloud snake hunter threw the hatchet, then held the stick with both hands again, and quickly rushed forward without pausing. He took advantage of Tesi Whitt's shield being raised high and slashed hard at the opponent's exposed lower body.
"Wow!... Ta!..."
Texihuit took two sharp steps back, causing a large splash of water. He dodged this dangerous blow, and before he could stand still, he roared like a brown bear.
"Roar!"
The turquoise general swung his arm suddenly, threw the shield in his left hand, and hit Travito who was chasing him. Then, he also held the stick with both hands, abandoned all defenses, and faced him with a fierce slash. At this moment, he was like a black bear waking up from hibernation, violently displaying his strength.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Both warriors gave up their defense, used two-handed weapons, and fought brutally close to each other. After only a few fierce impacts, Travito's expression changed drastically and his hand suddenly relaxed.
"Click..."
The crisp sound of the wooden handle breaking sounded in Travitt's ears. The cloud snake hunters were fighting all the way, and their war sticks had long been damaged. At this time, there were continuous exchanges of blows, and the weapon in his hand finally couldn't withstand it and suddenly broke in half!
"Crack!"
"boom!"
At the moment of the decisive victory, Tessie Whitt turned his stick slightly, and used the blunt edge without an edge to hit Travito hard on the chest, and then a little harder!
"Well!"
After being hit hard on the chest, the brave cloud snake hunter's face changed drastically and he let out a suppressed cry of pain. He staggered back two steps, but still couldn't stand still and fell directly to the ground.
"Ha! You lost!"
The corners of Texi Whitt's lips turned up into a cold smile. He took a step forward, pointed the sharp war stick at the Cloud Snake Hunter's neck, and spoke calmly.
"I said, if I really want to put down my shield and fight, you may not be my opponent!"
"I lost."
The cloud snake hunter looked pale, with despair on his face. He clutched his chest, which was still aching, and tried to turn his head to look at Chichipati, who had tears in his eyes.
"Paddy...my wife...I..."
"Haha! It turns out to be a love interest."
Tessie Whitt chuckled, like a rock grinning. He raised his head and took a few glances at the fair-skinned and slim girl in gorgeous clothes through the continuous rain... Obviously, this was a descendant of a noble family who did not need to work.
"It's getting dark and it's raining heavily. The sun god will leave soon."
The turquoise general put away his smile and tightened his grip on the killing weapon. His calm words were filled with firm hatred and cold murderous intent.
"Come on, you despicable attackers, I will send you on your way! Let me use the blood of the warriors and ladies of Tree Snake City to sacrifice the soul of the legion commander who went to the Kingdom of God!... Dear head of the family, I want to sacrifice for you You took revenge!"
"...Revenge...for the master of the family?"
Hearing these words, the Cloud Snake Hunter's face suddenly became startled. He thought of the commander of the Mexican Army who was suddenly shot to death on the night of the night attack. Chaotic pictures flashed in front of my eyes, just like the chaotic firelight that night, and the strange sharp arrow that appeared! At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and grabbed something inexplicably, as if it was the last straw before drowning.
"Praise the Lord God! I sacrifice the life of the warrior to you! May you protect the leader of the Yotiko tribe of the Kingdom of God, let him get his revenge, and enjoy eternal peace!..."
Tessie Whitt prayed a couple of devout prayers without delay. He raised the battle stick in his hand high and looked at the neck of the cloud snake hunter.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Seeing that the war stick was about to fall, Travitt shouted in a hurry, with a look of dying anticipation on his face.
"Um?"
Turquoise Tesswhit frowned and shook her head. The killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he said calmly.
"If the archers of Tree Snake City cannot die calmly, they will lose the honor of being a warrior."
"..."
Travit pursed his lips, glanced at the crying Chichipati again, and answered hastily.
"Dear Rock Warrior! Did you just say that you wanted to kill us to avenge the blood of the legion commander who died heroically that night?"
"Um."
Texi Whitt's expression remained unchanged and he nodded. He raised the war stick again and was about to swing it down.
"No! No! Don't worry!...Yun Snake witnesses! He, he was not killed by us!"
The cloud snake hunter shouted urgently, his voice trembling and even breaking. At this moment, he was not completely sure, and he was not sure at all about what he was going to say next. However, whether true or false, this is the only bargaining chip in his hand to seek a slim chance of survival!
"Your master, the legion commander who died that night was not killed by the warriors of Tree Snake City!"
