The night is dark, just the darkness before dawn. The two gods respected by the Jinwan tribe stood facing each other in front of the mural of the warrior and the giant snake, without speaking for a long time. The firelight reflected their changing expressions, like snakes circling in the shadows, flowing with complex and dark emotions.
"Miawa, the alliance's intelligence is indeed credible. It comes from the capital city in the lake. I'm not lying to you. As long as the Death Temple is assassinated, the Kingdom's Eastern Expedition army will collapse! Even if they can capture Golden Bay City, it will be difficult to stay. Too long. The descendants of the tribe can leave by sea. And when we return, the land of Totonak will still belong to the Totonak people!"
"Cicchini, I said that I have no chance to assassinate His Highness! What's more, even if I sacrifice myself and the assassination is successful, all I will leave to the tribe is destruction!"
The snake priestess Miava lowered her eyes and shook her head firmly. There was a fearless look on her face, but thoughts were flowing in her heart. With her identity and status as a divine priest, since she has a broad escape route and a better choice, she is not willing to do this kind of behavior of a dead soldier and go to get chestnuts from the fire for others.
"The brutal Black Wolf Chief will attack Jinwan City and slaughter tens of thousands of the Jinwan tribe! Even if the divine descendants can leave and wait for the kingdom's army to retreat before returning to the city... But without the tribe's divine descendants, it doesn't matter. What? My brother, are you going to sacrifice your entire tribe to save the so-called Totonak people?"
"...May the ancestors and gods forgive me! Alas!"
Chief Chichini was silent for a long time and sighed deeply.
"In the final analysis, the power of the tribe is still too weak. Even if the poisonous snake can poison the condor to death, it cannot escape the condor's counterattack before its death. And as a result, it is just a waste of rations for the beast in the dark... "
Hearing such words, the snake priestess Myawa was moved in her heart and asked thoughtfully.
"Brother, where did you get the alliance information from?"
"Well...the source of the information was an ordinary noble from the capital city of the lake. He met the tribe's envoy and had no special background or origin. The information was obtained by accident. The man accidentally leaked the secret while drunk. . In addition, there are two rumors circulating in the lake capital, which also reached the ears of the envoy through coincidence. After receiving the information, the envoy had a smooth journey and left the territory of the alliance, taking all the news with him. Come back..."
Chief Chichini spoke calmly and did not hide anything.
"According to the alliance's intelligence, assassinating the people under the temple is the only and last chance for the East and West Totonak tribes!"
"Hehe! The snake's hunting seems to be a quick coincidence, but it is definitely planned for a long time..."
The snake priestess Miawa smiled playfully after hearing the origin of this information. With a flash in her eyes, she made a definite judgment.
"In the alliance, there must be a poisonous snake in the dark, staring at the Temple of Death!..."
"Yes, I know. Although the snake hides secretly and acts without leaving any trace, it cannot escape the perception of its kind. However, this matter has nothing to do with us."
Chief Qiqini of the Great Sun nodded slightly, his expression calm. He closed his eyes and opened them again. The anger and unwillingness just now disappeared.
"The army is pressing down on the territory, and people's hearts are in chaos. God's punishment shakes the city walls, and Jinwan City is in danger! The situation is so unimaginable... The ancestors have inherited the Jinwan tribes for four to five hundred years, and they must not be cut off in our hands! Since we can’t assassinate the people of the temple, in order to protect the entire clan, we can only sacrifice..."
Speaking of this, Chicini narrowed his eyes and showed ferocity again. The snake priestess Miawa licked her lips, and her voice became seductive and dangerous again.
"Brother, our time is very tight, we only have three days!"
"Three days...enough!..."
Chief Qiqini stretched out his hand, not touching the floating warrior who was close to Chi Chi, but stroking the snake letter of the giant snake, as if absorbing the fresh danger and murderous intention. After a moment, he engraved murderous intent into his eyes and gave a low command.
"Miawa, early tomorrow morning, you will summon many priests and hold a grand prayer ceremony to pray for the power of the sun and the feathered serpent to resist the punishment of the Mexica God of War!"
"Huh? At this time, a prayer ceremony is held?... In the name of the ceremony, you want to separate the chiefs and personal guards of the Eastern tribes, summon them to the temple to pray... and then secretly hide the temple warriors, Waiting for the opportunity to activate?"
The snake priestess Miava's eyes moved and she thought about the entire step. Chief Chikini nodded appreciatively and continued with a smile.
"The ceremony on the first day will be held normally. I will send envoys to quietly inform the chiefs of each department: During the leader's prayer on the second day, we will secretly discuss the plan to evacuate from Jinwan City. The boats in the hands of each department are very limited, and at most they can only Let more than a thousand people escape. In order not to let the warriors in the city know about it, ask them to bring only their most personal guards and have a secret meeting deep in the temple... It is a matter of life and death, and they should all be here!"
Hearing this, the snake priestess Miawa raised her eyebrows and smiled on her face. She pondered for a moment and added a layer of safety and security to this plan.
"Then I will ask the priestesses to prepare special blood wine... After the discussion, you must drink the blood wine together and swear to the gods!... After the discussion is completed, the chiefs' vigilance will You will relax. The taste of blood wine is special, and the anesthetic hidden in the wine is difficult to detect... Even if you have a nose as sharp as yours, you will only think that the smell of blood is too strong!"
"Very good! I will drink the blood wine myself to relax their vigilance. I will also hide a group of personal warriors outside the temple's secret hall as a final guarantee."
Speaking of this, Chief Chikini raised his brows and looked deeply at his sister. Today, Miawa seems to be acting a little too tough... The tribe is at a critical juncture, and his ruling authority as the chief is obviously shaken.
Thinking of this, Chief Chikini's eyes were deep, he stretched out his palm and looked at the snake priestess in front of him.
"Miawa, you must undo the anesthesia for me as soon as possible. If everything goes well, I will send a secret envoy to lead the kingdom's legion into the city at the same time the day after tomorrow... At that time, I will appear in person at the God of Death as soon as possible In front of His Highness, as the chief of Jinwan, I kneel down and pledge my allegiance to him!"
"...Yes, I obey you, Chief Jinwan!"
Hearing this, the snake priestess Miawa pursed her lips and bowed her head to Chief Chikini in accordance with tribal practice. Chief Chikini shook the snake priestess's hair before a smile appeared on her face. He patted his sister on the shoulder and said gently.
"Miawa, as long as the tribe can continue... you and I will be the most noble chief and deputy leaders among the various tribes in Golden Bay!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the snake priestess Miawa flashed and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She glanced at her brother with a charming look and suggested with a smile.
"When the Mexica army enters the city, they always want to clear out some stubborn believers of the old gods who are unwilling to convert... The elders in the tribe, who hold power and warriors, often contradict your opinions. ..Brother, we can only keep 20,000 tribes, but they must be tribes that only belong to us!..."
"Huh? You mean, borrow the help of the Mexicans to clean up the clan..."
Hearing this, Chief Qiqini was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the snake priestess Miava smiled in her eyes and looked even more charming. As long as the stubborn elders in the tribe are eliminated, the tribe is divided into two, and the resistance of the female chief will disappear. Of course, she couldn't tell her brother in front of her now all this.
"Praise the ancestors and the gods, may they protect us!"
"Well, praise the ancestors! ...May the Lord God bless you!"
Chief Chichini responded emphatically, with slightly different words.
"...Haha!...Brother, have you already begun to pray to the Lord God in front of the mother of giant snakes, Miavakotel? You are such an outstanding warrior of Totonac..."
Hearing Chikini's prayer, the snake priestess Miawa was startled for a moment, then pointed at the giant snake mural in front of her, trembling with laughter. Then, with her bare feet, she walked to the center of the side hall,
Slowly take off the black robe on your body. She just acted like no one else was around, naked, and danced the snake dance that was unfinished tonight.
In the cold and dark side hall, under the gaze of the divine murals and under the cold eyes of her brother, the graceful snake priestess lifted her hands and feet lightly, twisted her waist, and danced as flexibly as a snake. She licked her red lips, swallowing like a snake's letter, and looked around like a snake's head waving. She swings her seductively undulating waist and abdomen as flexibly as a snake, and raises her dancing bare feet as seductively as a snake's tail.
"The giant snake Miavakotel wanders in the darkness. Only a true warrior like the sun can make her surrender and give birth to the king of the Totonak people..."
Miava, the snake priestess, dances the snake dance and chants emotionally, with a hoarse and seductive voice. It wasn't until the break in the dance that she turned around, panting softly and smiling, looking at her silent and ruthless brother.
"Uh-huh!...My dear brother, tell me, are you a true warrior like the sun?"
Hearing this, Chief Chicini narrowed his eyes, with danger flashing in his eyes.
"Don't you know if the descendant of the sun is a warrior? The giant snake who once seduced him?"
"Yeah!...The giant snake once thought so too! That's why the giant snake offered itself up to the warriors to enjoy..."
The snake priestess Miava nodded with a smile, licked the corners of her mouth, and the aftertaste appeared on her face.
"But, the current giant snake doesn't think so! She has seen a real warrior, who is more powerful than the real sun, and is irresistibly powerful!..."
"..."
Chief Qiqini remained silent, turned and left in large strides. In the dark temple, there is only one snake priestess dancing alone, as dangerous as a snake and as tempting as a snake. It wasn't until the song ended that her chest heaved and she lay on the ground like a snake. She held the jade talisman around her neck and prayed with a low smile.
"Praise the Lord God! May Your Highness bless me..."
