"Sacrifice the leader of the Xiajin clan and send it to the red country..."
On the sacrificial platform, there lay the noble divine sacrifice. War God Elder Yazar smiled and stared at Kuruca's expression intently. The monkey Kuruka was wearing a gorgeous marshal's robe, but his simple face was full of bitterness.
The God of War Elder Yazar brought two thousand temple guards and navy troops along the Leman River from the alliance's lake capital. It had only been a few days since he arrived in Hekou County. Before the big ceremony was held, he also informed Kuruca of the sacrifice, and specified that he was an alliance noble who "made a big mistake and needs a sacrifice from His Highness!"
Monkey Kuruka was a little uneasy at that time. Who knew that on the day of the grand ceremony, the nobles who were escorted to the altar turned out to be one of the five most powerful city-state army commanders!
"Dear Marshal Kuruka, this is the sacrificial dagger inherited by the alliance. Please hold it!...When you strike the knife, aim at the heart. The faster, the better!...This will allow the leader of the Xiajin clan to walk faster. There won’t be much pain…”
The God of War Elder Yazar took out a simple sacrificial dagger and handed it to the monkey Kuruka without giving him any chance to refuse. Then, he turned sideways and made way for the main priest to use the knife. The other five assistant priests grabbed the limbs and head of the sacrifice and waited patiently.
"."
Monkey Kuruka held the sacrificial dagger hard, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
He knew clearly that if this sword fell, not only the Highnesses of the Kingdom of the Lake would form a deadly feud with the local nobles of the Golden City in the Northern Gorge of the Alliance. And even he himself will become the common enemy of the local nobles of the alliance, and even all the great nobles!
After all, he was just a civilian warrior, but he personally sacrificed such a nobleman, which is unique in the history of the alliance! …The great nobles dare not hate the king or openly hate His Highness. Do they still dare not hate him openly?
"No, they will only hate me twice as much! Put everything on my head... Lord God! These are the nobles who want me to secede from the alliance!..."
Seeing Kuruca's hesitation, the God of War Elder Yazar raised his brows. He glanced at the chief priest of the lake, Mavilo, who pursed his lips tightly but did not object. Then he smiled and said to Kuruca.
"Dear Marshal Kuruka, I come with the will of the God King and the High Priests to hold a grand Western Expedition Ceremony!... This ceremony is not only for the Chapala Western Expedition that you preside over, but also for the sun. God’s will…”
"Not long ago, there were rumors in the capital that the discord between the two suns was caused by the underground demons!... After the Xiajin clan leader made the decision to sacrifice voluntarily, the rumors of demons were put to rest by his devout faith... "
"In the entire alliance, naturally only the supreme god king Avit is the incarnation of the sun god! And today's ceremony is precisely to pay tribute to the main god and declare to the world! The sun in the sky is supreme, and the new rising sun follows closely. Double The sun, one behind the other, will illuminate a hundred years together, and the future of the alliance will be brighter and hotter than ever before!…"
"Dear Marshal Kuruka, do you understand?..."
".I see…"
On the high altar, the monkey Kuruka was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. The God of War Elder Yazar came with the will of the king and the high priests. His highness was not in the kingdom, so it was difficult for him to refuse based on his status. The sacrifice of the leader of the Xiajin clan was also to declare the master-slave alliance between the two kings, to quell the rumors in the capital, and to deter all the nobles who opposed centralization of power! …
Kuruca can think clearly about all this, and Mavelo, the chief priest in the lake who represents the kingdom's divine power, can naturally also think clearly. Marvelo did not speak, naturally acquiescing to the king's will. And this series of political considerations and general trends forced him to bear this big blame that fell from the sky! …
"..."
Monkey Kuruka took a deep breath and walked to the front of the sacrifice platform, facing the lying chest. He stretched out his hand, and under the guidance of the assistant priest, pressed the heart of the Xiajin clan leader and felt the strong heartbeat. Then, he looked at the Xiajin Clan Chief, who had a look of joy on his face, looking directly at the sun, with tears in his eyes, and his eyes flashed slightly.
"Praise the Lord God! Praise the devout Xiajin Clan Chief! ...Dear God of War Elder, I wonder what the Alliance will do with the Xiajin Clan Chief's fiefdom in Xiajin City after he goes to the Kingdom of God?"
"Um?"
Hearing this question, War God Elder Yazar raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. He looked at the calm-looking monkey Kuruka, pondered for a while, and then answered truthfully.
"The devout leader of the Xiajin clan voluntarily sacrificed to the Lord God... For such a noble act of fearless sacrifice, the alliance naturally allowed his wife's son and daughters to inherit his fiefdom... The Xiajin Honor Family will be treated fairly. Divided into five! And each successor will receive the generous canonization of the God King, and all will become noble and glorious nobles!"
"In addition, the five glorious nobles have all happily agreed to contribute to the expansion of the alliance! They will hand over their family's fiefdom in Xiajin City and transfer it to the vast land of Totonak to open up the seaside for the alliance!..."
"Divided into five, the God King canonized him. Transferred to the East China Sea, opened up the seashore..."
Hearing this, Marvelo, the chief priest of the lake, took a deep breath and lowered his eyes without saying a word. The monkey Kuruka's eyes flashed again, and he suddenly leaned down and put his ear close to the smiling mouth of the Xiajin clan leader, as if he was listening to something.
"Um?…"
Seeing this scene, the God of War Elder Yazar looked stunned. But soon, he would understand. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled without making a sound to stop him.
"Praise the Lord God! Bless the Lord God! The fearless Xiajin clan chief left an immortal death poem before leaving for the Kingdom of God!"
Monkey Kuruka's face showed surprise at first, then excitement and joy, and finally solemnity and solemnity. After listening for a moment, he stood up and shouted loudly, announcing to the entire altar and even the tens of thousands of warriors who were watching!
"Pacho, the leader of the Xiajin clan, is a truly devout warrior! He said!..."
"...The Lord God is the immortal God. I want to worship Him personally, dedicate everything to Him, and praise the world!...The King is the highest sun, and I praise the sun! Your Highness is the tall sacred tree, and I praise the sacred tree!" …And the devout person who presides over my sacrifice will also be the guide of my soul!…”
"He guides my soul. I trust him and will entrust my future generations to him!...My minor children, you can go to him and build my family temple on the fertile soil of the Kingdom of the Lake!... Enjoy the protection and peace of my soul where I fearlessly go to the Kingdom of God!…Praise the Lord God!…”
Hearing these words, the smile of the God of War Elder Yazar froze. There was obvious surprise on his face, and after studying the pious expression of the monkey Kuruka, it gradually turned into appreciation.
"Okay!... Using Pacho's words... turn yourself into the guide of the soul... and build a family temple, promise to protect the other party's underage descendants, and resolve the hatred from the alliance nobles... Haha! This Ku Marshal Luca is really a clever monkey! Wonderful! Wonderful!..."
"Praise the Lord God! Praise the fearless warrior!...Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!!..."
After listening to the death poem of the Xiajin clan leader, tens of thousands of warriors and militiamen all cheered. They held their weapons high and slapped their shields hard, making a "bang bang" sound! They shouted loudly towards the altar, calling for the most exciting moment, which was the bloody climax!
"Praise the Lord God!...Praise you too! Paqiao, chief of the Xiajin clan..."
The monkey Kuruka finished his announcement loudly with a pious look on his face. Then, he took a deep look at the smiling Patcho Pacho, raised the obsidian dagger in his hand, and then dropped it decisively!
"Well!…"
Severe pain came, and even under the anesthesia of the medicine, Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan, suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening like bells. However, the five professional assistants pressed down skillfully and kept the sacrifice's lying posture stable, as well as the stability of the officiant's knife.
"Well…"
The monkey Kuruka had a solemn look on his face, and under the dying gaze of Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan, he took his bright red hands back from his warm chest. His movements were steady and fast, so fast that Pacho was still alive. And the freshness in his hands was reflected in Paqiao's eyes, and turned into the deepest terror.
"My... heart... ho ho..."
Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan, opened his mouth and murmured something in a voice that no one could hear. Then, under the bright midday sun, he tilted his head and became motionless.
"Descendant of the Sun God, bloodline of the ancestors, glorious nobleman of Weipuchtland, Pacho, chief of the Xiajin clan, is going to the kingdom of the Lord God! His soul will awaken in the red kingdom, as if he died fighting for the gods. Like the brave warriors, enjoy beauty and peace forever! Praise the Lord God!!…”
"Enjoy beauty and peace forever! Praise the Lord God!!..."
With the sacrifice of the gods, the ceremony of the grand ceremony also reached its climax! Amidst the deafening and fanatical cheers, the God of War Elder Yazar prayed to the Lord God and received the divine decree to conquer the Chapala Lake area!
"God said! In the Chapala Lake area, Prince Feather disrespects the Lord God! The army is going west to capture his territory! Then he will be put on the pyramid of the great temple to make a blood sacrifice to our god!..."
"God said! Expedition to the west to capture the Feather Prince and sacrifice his blood to our God!..."
Dozens of priests of the main god relayed the divine decree at the same time, with high-pitched and loud voices.
"Feathers from the west, blood sacrifice to my god!...Ho ho ho ho!..."
Tens of thousands of legions screamed and shouted. The deafening sound and the fanatical expressions had boosted morale to the highest level.
"Go! Warriors of the Alliance!... You will achieve another conquest victory for the God King and His Highness!... And with the blessing of the Lord God, by divination of good omens, this battle will be won!..."
On the altar, the God of War Elder Yazar also roared, calling out the good omen of divination and predicting the victory of the war! And when all this is completed, the most important part of the grand festival will come to an end. As for the last step…
The God of War Elder Yazar licked his lips and looked solemn. He looked at the silent and calm monkey Kuruka, whose hands were stained with blood, and suddenly took from the hands of the acolytes a crown of glorious nobles, a scepter of an alliance marshal, and a flag with a skull painted on it!
"Well?…"
Seeing this scene, the monkey Kuruka was shocked. With his intelligence, he guessed the other party's intention in just a moment. Then, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and back. He was even more nervous and trembling than before the sacrifice!
"Dear Elder God of War! This...is this?..."
"That's right! Dear Marshal Kuruka! Your devout sacrifice has satisfied the Lord God! And the omniscient God King has already predicted all this..."
At this moment, the God of War Elder Yazar did not smile. His expression was more solemn than ever before, even a little stern. He had been preparing for this moment for a long time. And the canonization at this time is the real purpose of his trip!
"Praise the Lord God! Praise the King!...Marshal Kuruka, this is the glorious feather crown, the marshal's scepter, and the royal legion flag given to you by God King Avit himself!...According to the practice of the alliance, the marshal who presides over a divine war , there must be canonization from the Alliance King and the High Priests, marking that he has officially obtained the divinity of the sun!…”
"So, please kneel down and accept the canonization of the God King and the High Priests!"
