The leaves of the warrior armor are clanging, the militiamen are lying on the ground beside the road, and the birds and beasts are retreating in a hurry. Together, it is the return journey of the kings. When the sun sets and the moon rises, the bonfire is blazing, and the two of them have returned to the Tree Snake City and stepped into the temple of the Tlaxcala people together.
Looking around the main hall, you can see the blue and colorful colors and the brilliant decorations. The golden statue of the God of Hunting has disappeared, replaced by a newly carved statue of the main god. The statue must have been made in a very tight time. It has a rough appearance, wide openings and closings, but it carries the domineering and majestic look of the main god of Mexica. Half of the murals on the four sides of the hall were covered. There was no time to draw new pictures, so they were replaced with sun hummingbirds of the main god, and then mysterious square pictures were written on them.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. Those who obey the gods will ascend to heaven and enjoy peace forever. Those who disobey the gods will sink into the abyss of the earth and turn into gold and stone, never to be liberated. You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli, her power Ability to be infinite, from the past to the future, to control all existence until the end!"
Shulot recited in a low voice, this is the opening chapter of the fundamental book "Ali Sutra". In the opinion of the priests of the main god, it is most appropriate to engrave such sacred scriptures in the conquered temple!
"The sun and the moon are waxing, and the constellations are arranged. The changes in the sun, the moon, the stars, and all celestial phenomena are also the power of the Lord God! She controls the phases of the moon, manipulates the stars, and teaches the devout priests the truth that guides all things. She incarnates the sun , grant sunshine, and hand over the authority to rule the world to the immortal King of Gods!"
A faint smile appeared on Avitt's face. He recited softly, but there was an additional description in the second paragraph of the classic. This sentence was written by the new high priest Ugel after the death of the elder and dedicated to the king. "God King" Avitt expressed his satisfaction after seeing it.
The kings sat down in order, Avitt sat at the top, and Shulot sat at the bottom. Afterwards, the guards brought two cups of clear scented tea, and after taking a sip, the fragrance left on the lips and teeth.
"Since the Eastern Expedition, the North Route Army has continuously attacked the city, resulting in a lot of casualties. The city of Quetzalcoatl was conquered, with 12,000 casualties, including 4,000 warriors, most of which came from the city-state army. The conquering of Shensu Pass resulted in 7,000 casualties. , including two thousand royal warriors. The capture of Tree Snake City resulted in eleven thousand casualties, including five thousand warriors, two thousand from the royal legion, and three thousand from the city-state. The capture of Oak City resulted in six thousand casualties, including one thousand royal warriors. , a thousand city-state warriors, plus the fortresses along the way, the tribes raided, and the injuries and illnesses during the rainy season."
At this point, Avit paused slightly. He looked solemn and gave the final top-secret statistics. This is the details of the Eastern Expedition that only a very few people can know.
"In this Eastern Expedition, the Northern Route Army suffered approximately 50,000 casualties! Seventy percent were levied militiamen, and 30% were alliance warriors. Among the fifteen thousand casualties, more than five thousand came from the royal corps, and more than nine thousand came from various countries. Big city-state!”
"Fifty thousand casualties? Fifteen thousand warriors?"
Hearing such a number, Shulot opened his mouth in surprise, even a little horrified. This number is almost twice or even three times that of the Southern Army! The two northern states are the core of the Tlaxcala tribes. Facing the divine battle of their old enemy in the west, the intensity of their resistance far exceeded Shulot's imagination.
"Yeah. Yotiko, now it's Xochikalo's Sourwood Legion, Sintel's Weedian Legion, Pacho's Gorgeous Gold Legion, Yinzel's Mountain Legion, and Yinskali and Te The five city-state armies of Popolo's Western Alliance all participated in the siege, and all suffered heavy losses!"
A faint smile appeared on Avitt's lips. He smiled faintly, but his eyes were cold and indifferent. To him, the number of casualties was indeed just a number.
"Of course, all the Tlaxcala tribes in the two northern states were also wiped out by the alliance's legions. The 600,000 Tlaxcala tribes were either captured or killed, and probably nearly half of them were wiped out. Among them, the warriors who were executed With Ding Zhuang, it should be twice the casualties of the alliance, probably more than 100,000 Ding!"
"A quarter of a million people were captured and killed, and more than 100,000 people were executed. The corpses piled up in a sea, and the heads formed a mound."
Hearing such numbers, Shulot lowered his eyes and remained silent. Generally speaking, ten people live three lives. The average life expectancy in Central America is shorter, probably between three and four years. The Tlaxcala people in the two northern states number at most 200,000 strong. An Eastern Expedition, which lasted only a year, wiped out half of it. They also destroyed their old enemies, and Qin destroyed Zhao. I'm afraid that's it!
Seeing Shulot's reaction, Avitt shook his head and laughed. Then, he looked solemnly, looked at the students who were lowering their heads, and gave instructions sternly.
"In this eastern land, there are nests of rats, ants, insects, and snakes that have been entrenched for hundreds of years! How can we completely clean them out without setting off a fire? We need to build a new eagle's nest to incubate the new chicks. Birds must not be left behind without the slightest hidden danger!"
Then Avitt's expression slowed down. He reached out and patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, comforting him gently.
"Burn the weeds, and new shoots will naturally emerge next spring. Shulot, you have also done a good job in the two southern states. Especially the treatment of the Holy City and the sacrifices of those rotten priests are very popular with me. My heart! These old rotten trees deceive people's hearts and are enemies of the alliance. They should be burned to death."
"After I learned about the high priest, I was shocked and saddened. He is my uncle who I admire and one of the most respected people in the alliance. If I do it, it will shock the world and make the entire city of Cholula , more than 100,000 people, all buried with the high priest!"
These words also come from Avitt’s sincerity. When the high priest was alive, he had fear in his heart, like a lump in his throat, and he was on guard day and night. When the news of the death of the high priest came, he felt sad in his heart, full of admiration and reluctance. This desperate old man swept through the alliance and cleared away too many obstacles on his way to centralization of power!
As for the dead bones in the tombs in the Holy City of Cholula after the death of the high priest, they no longer had the meaning of existence. They were all sacrificed, just in time to clean them up.
"Now, after the two southern states have been wiped out, only half of the 600,000 Tlaxcala tribe is left. Wait until I sacrifice 6,000 divine descendants and you capture two snake cities, then the old enemy in the east for centuries will be It’s finally solved completely!”
After hearing Avitt's words, Xiulote nodded and his expression returned to calm. Since the Eastern Expedition, the Southern Army has captured more than 200,000 prisoners and executed tens of thousands of others. The entire superstructure of the Tlaxcalans was completely wiped out. And after burning the Holy City, his notoriety will probably spread all the way south, all the way east, to the land of Maya!
"My hands have long been stained with bright red. My feet have also been soaked in blood. Only my eyes, after looking at the sea for hundreds of years, are still the golden color of the corn harvest."
