The night was dark, covering up all the blood. After the brutal killing, only fifteen thousand prisoners remained in Coyote City. All potential resistance forces were completely wiped out in three indiscriminate killings and two identifications of mutual betrayal. The will of the captives also collapsed, and they no longer had any courage to resist, just like tame turkeys. Lan
At this moment, piles of bonfires were lit. The faces of the surviving prisoners were full of fear and distrust of each other. They huddled up and lay in the middle of the camp guarded by the warriors. They didn't have anything to eat, they didn't speak to each other, they were as quiet as dead.
"Well, it looks like it's almost tame. If we starve all night and go on the road tomorrow, no one should dare to escape, and even if they do, they won't have the strength to escape. Then, one meal a day, a few mouthfuls of grains, as long as they don't starve to death... I guess Can last until Zhuowu City!"
Smoke rises from the kitchen, and the air is filled with the thick smell of blood and the faint fragrance of grain. The black wolf Toltec sat in front of the campfire, toasted a piece of corn cake, and ate it in just a few bites. Then, he clapped his hands, stood up, took another piece of cake, and walked towards the fire not far away.
Not far away, there was a group of silent Totonak warriors. Most of their eyes were red, some were tear-stained, some were ruthless, and most were numb. Timberwolf Mayaquin sat in front of the campfire, surrounded by several bodyguard warriors of the Coyote tribe. None of them spoke, they just roasted pumpkin cereals and swallowed them with big mouthfuls, their eyes as fierce as wolves.
"Not bad! After a few more fights, these wolf cubs can be raised!"
Seeing this, Black Wolf Toltec raised the corners of his mouth. He walked to the campfire, sitting next to Timberwolf without any scruples, and handed him the tortilla. Timberwolf Ma Yakun's face was startled, a little flattered. He took the cake, but did not eat it for the time being. Instead, he looked at Commander Black Wolf respectfully.
"Hei Lang leader, where will the army march next?" Lan
"Ha! March? What the hell, don't fight forward! The army retreats to Zhuowu City. We don't have enough food."
Black Wolf Toltec spoke calmly and honestly. At this moment, he did not regard Lin Lang as an outsider, and Lin Lang's eyes flashed, and he clearly felt this change.
"There are too many tribes surrendering all the way, and your Highness doesn't have much food. Spring plowing is necessary in May, and we must prepare to plant grain. Your Highness has told me to ensure spring plowing in May! Spring plowing is more important than anything else, even better than military exploits. !”
Hearing this, Lin Lang lowered his eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart. After a moment, he raised his head and sighed sincerely.
"Your Highness is kind and kind..."
Hearing this, Hei Lang nodded, looked into Lin Lang's eyes, and his tone became much gentler.
"Lin Lang, the army will be on the road tomorrow, and the kingdom's headquarters will march very quickly. You take a thousand Lin Lang battalion and follow behind, keeping an eye on the fifteen thousand tribes that can't get away. I will let Olin's two thousand White Snake battalion , go with you!" Lan
"Yes, Black Wolf Leader!"
Hearing the trust of Commander Black Wolf, Timber Wolf Ma Yakun was silent for a while and nodded vigorously. The black wolf commander in front of him was obviously cruel and cruel, and he had killed countless of Totonak's descendants and leaders. But for some reason, in his heart at this moment, he was in awe of Black Wolf and felt a strange sense of gratitude, but he didn't have much hatred.
"The Lord God witnesses that I will definitely complete your mission!"
"Very good! The Lord God will protect us! Conquer thousands of miles of seashore and conquer the entire world!"
Black Wolf stood up, patted Lin Lang on the shoulder, and left two final words of encouragement.
"Do it well! His Highness treats all ministries equally. Even the surrendered generals, as long as they do well, can rule one side and control hundreds of thousands of people! And in my opinion, your piety and bravery are far more than that. A thousand forest wolf camps!”
"From now on, you will break with your original tribe, completely break away from the Totonak people, and truly fight for the Lord God and the Kingdom! Lin Lang, I will give you more opportunities, as long as you remain loyal, as long as You have made a great contribution!" Lan
"Yes Yes!
The black wolf leader! "
Timberwolf Ma Yakun looked grateful and knelt down to salute respectfully. It wasn't until the black wolf strode away that he straightened up, held the tortilla, and stood silent for a long time.
"Jump out... fight for the Lord God and the Kingdom... make meritorious deeds..."
Lin Lang lowered his eyes and felt the wind in the darkness. It was the wind he was familiar with in the Totonak rainforest. The blood and smoke in the wind are destroying the lost city-state and a future with no retreat.
"My future?... I slaughtered my own tribe and completely lost the support of the tribe. Now, I lead a wolf army to fight for the Mexica. And once such a reputation spreads, Totona There will be no place for me to conquer all the tribes in the East!"
Lin Lang was silent and sat down cross-legged. He ate the tortilla in his hand one bite at a time, very slowly and carefully. And a familiar face suddenly appeared in his mind silently. He once tried his best to persuade the man to be patient and wait for the Mexica army to leave. He even made suggestions to the other party. In the surrendered Zhuowu City headquarters, he hid hundreds of bodyguards and placed them in the newly built field camp...
"I used to plan hard and operate secretly... But now, everything before this has become a threat to me?... No, no! This is also my opportunity, an opportunity to go further!... Phew! "Lan
Lin Lang closed his eyes, took a deep breath in the evening breeze filled with blood and grain fragrance, and then exhaled slowly. And in this breath, that familiar face was stained with blood in his mind and became a delicious meal for the wolf...
"Cha Bo, this person was killed, why should he be buried?"
The night was dark, the bright red was covered with loess, and the body disappeared into the pit. The red-haired hunter Mikui stood next to the big pit, his mouth squealing. While chewing half a piece of cake, he complained dissatisfiedly.
"The army is already short of food. Isn't this a waste of food?"
"Stop talking nonsense! What are you arguing about?"
The red-haired bodyguard Chabo glared and scolded.
"I asked, this is not only an order from the boss, but also an order from the Great Chief of Death! Do you dare not listen to what the Great Chief says? I will take away your soul!..." Lan
"Uh! Big Chief?..."
After hearing the order from the great chief, hunter Mikui finally shut his mouth and stopped saying a word. To them, the words of the great chief of Death are almost like divine decrees, and they are never missed.
"Hey! It's just such a small amount of food, it can't fill my stomach at all... But at any rate, it's much better than in the wilderness... At that time, the cold wave went south, and there was no serious food for half a month, and even the bark of the trees was eaten away. ..."
In just a moment, half of the tortilla disappeared into hunter Mikui's belly. He chattered for a while, and suddenly his eyes moved.
"Cha Bo, did you get anything good by interrogating those snake priests who were screened out?"
"..."
Hearing this, the bodyguard Cha Bo pursed his lips. He quietly looked around, nodded slightly, and whispered. Lan
"I got a few pieces of green jade with snakes engraved on it, but I don't have any gold sand or gems to use, and I don't know how many cocoa beans I can sell. Unfortunately, listening to their curses before they died, it seemed like a big fish escaped. It is said that that guy , is the mastermind behind the new chief's rise to power, and also arranged the fire in advance...a high priest of the Feathered Serpent!"
"Ah! The big fish has escaped? The wealthy high priest?!"
Hearing this, hunter Mikui was a little anxious. He pressed the dagger on his waist and shouted urgently.
"Let's go! Let's ask the boss for instructions to catch that big fish! There must be something good in the high priest's body!"
"Capture? How to capture him? Four or five days ago, before the army gathered around him, he sneaked away! He ran faster than a rabbit! If he had the strength of our feet, he would be able to run three to four hundred miles now! In this vast How can we pursue them in the woods and swamps?"
"Huh? Running so fast?... What a cunning rabbit!..."
"No way! I heard that he and the priests I just killed didn't come from the same place... they escaped all the way from the Ancient City of the Quetzalcoatl!..." Lan
"Lord God! He escaped from the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl? Hiss! This is really a cunning long-legged rabbit!"
The moon rises, casting cold moonlight. The cold light shone on the bulging earth pit and also on the two people discussing in low voices. And when the two hunters raised their heads and looked towards where the moonlight was coming from, it was the east.
