Arrows were fired, spears were thrust, and war clubs were exchanged. Four thousand imperial guards surrounded and surrounded them, more than 500 tribal warriors changed their banners on the spot, and most of the Totonac navy collapsed and surrendered in shock and despair! And those small teams of warriors who were stubborn and resisted desperately were like drops of blood falling into the sea, only spattering circles of blood before disappearing without a trace.
"Pap! You betrayed the gods and ancestors! Ah! You are destined to fall into the deep sea, and your soul will be sucked into the abyss!...Ugh! Hoho!..."
The crazy cursing stopped, and the Hidden Snake Warrior Nuka, who resisted to the end, was pierced by five spears at the same time, and then raised high. The bleeding body was like a tattered red cloth, dangling feebly. Soon, after "Red Cloth" struggled for a few breaths, he suddenly lowered his head and became completely motionless. At this moment, the nearly two thousand naval prisoners kneeling on the battlefield, the fallen corpses of more than two hundred warriors, and the remains of Newka raised high seemed to be a true omen, foreshadowing the fate of the Hidden Snake tribes. end.
"Well... that's almost it. The tiger fish has arrived and is taking over the boats on the shore... As for this guy..."
Shulot's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Priest Papu, who was kneeling with his bare hands dozens of steps away. He pondered for a while, then suddenly patted Hei Lang on the shoulder and ordered.
"Hei Lang, go help Priest Papu up and accept his surrender! Under the witness of the Lord God! From today on, the grudge between you two will be wiped out!..."
"Ah? Your Highness! Do you want me to surrender?"
"Yes! Go! Accept his surrender in front of the legion... Black Wolf, if you want to be angry, do it now! And after he surrenders, he will be one of ours and one of your men!..."
"Ah! This is...good! I listen to you, Your Highness!..."
Hearing this, Hei Lang pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and then nodded in agreement. He strode to the kneeling priest Papu and looked at him ferociously for a moment, like a wolf eager to devour others.
"Uh!...respected...respected...leader of the Black Wolf..."
Priest Pappu raised his head and saw the black wolf walking in front of him, and couldn't help but tremble all over. Now he has handed over all his chips, just like a fish on the chopping board, letting the other party slaughter him. And if His Highness the Mexica ignores his reputation and allows the black wolf to sacrifice him, he will no longer be able to escape...
"God bless you! That black wolf... leader... leader..."
"You! Get up!"
The black wolf Toltec, with a face as deep as water, pulled Priest Papu up from the mud. He first made a few "snaps" and then slapped him hard seven or eight times until Pap was dizzy, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he even knocked out two teeth! Then, he pulled Pappu's hair and pointed coldly towards the dead Hidden Snake Warrior Nuka.
"Ha! You cunning guy! I'll slap you a few times to make you feel bad for the kingdom warrior who fell into your hands!... Come! Tell me! That guy with the feather crest and the armor is the most capable among your navy. Did he fight the Hidden Snake Warrior? Is he the one who killed Tavaru of the exploration fleet?"
Upon hearing this question, Priest Pappu's heart suddenly tightened. He led the navy to raid the exploration fleet, which was considered the biggest old grudge. And didn’t the Mexican armored warrior captain die at the hands of Newcastle? ...Thinking of this, he resisted the pain at the corner of his mouth, coughed blood, and replied with a whimper.
"Uh...respected leader of the Black Wolf...that...witness of the Lord God! It was indeed Nukata who killed the samurai captain of the kingdom's exploration fleet, and I even shouted at him at the time...but as a warrior of Hidden Snake City, he had no Don’t listen to me!…”
"Bah! You courageous fox! If you do it, you will do it. If you kill, you will kill. There are so many excuses! ... Since we were enemies at that time, we should fight with all our strength. Even death in battle is worthy of the God of War! …”
The black wolf Toltec narrowed his eyes and stared at Priest Papu for a while, then raised his hand and slapped him seven or eight times, making a whistling and crackling sound. After this round of slaps, Priest Pap's eyes were filled with stars, and he couldn't stop coughing blood from the corners of his mouth. His entire face was swollen, as red as a monkey's butt, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Lord...God...ah...please...your...payment..."
"Haha! Forgiveness? Pap, you are a courageous fox. Although you are smart and cunning, you can't fight at all! ... That's it! If I beat you again, you will probably die here... But His Highness has already given orders I want to spare you the life of a fox..."
Black Wolf Toltec picked up Priest Pap with one hand, stared at him coldly for a while, and then threw him to the dirt. Then, he took off a sacrificial obsidian dagger from his waist, threw it to the trembling priest Papu, pointed at the body of the Hidden Snake Warrior Newka, and gave ruthless instructions.
"Witness the Lord God! Pap, according to the tradition of Mexican sacrifices, cut off that guy's head in front of the entire legion, then take out the fresh body and throw it into the fire! Then, you take a sip of the blood wine from your heart. , cut off his own hair to catch a fever, and swore to surrender to the Lord God!…”
"Blood sacrifice sacrifice, blood oath to convert!... Pappu, when you convert to the main god, the grievances between us, the blood feud between you and the warriors of the kingdom will be wiped out!... From now on, you will be a warrior of the main god in life, and a warrior of the main god in death. The undead!…”
"Blood sacrifice, blood oath to convert? The Lord God witnesses! The blood feud is wiped out? From now on, you surrender to the Lord God..."
Hearing these words, Priest Papu was shaken all over. He turned his head and looked at the Death Temple not far away. Wearing a golden king's helmet, Shulot looked at Priest Papu, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and nodded slowly.
"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise His Highness! Praise you too, the merciful Black Wolf General!..."
Seeing this scene, Priest Pappu looked ecstatic. Although he had been slapped and humiliated, as long as he received such a promise to eliminate the old grudges in the presence of the Lord God and His Highness...then the worries and fears that had been in his heart would disappear in an instant! From now on, no one can publicly trouble him with his past experiences...
"The Lord God bless you! Your loyal servant, I offer you divine sacrifices!..."
The sacred fire was lit, the priests sang songs, and the warriors watched solemnly. Priest Pappu skillfully picked up the dagger and came to the dead hidden snake warrior Nuka. He murmured a few words, as if comforting the dead soul. Then, without hesitation, he swung down the shining blade! …
"Hey!..."
The holy fire was blazing, the living things were scorched in the fire, and the hair was burned in the fire. The bloody wine poured down his throat, and Pappu choked with tears and runny nose. But he drank heavily, with a strange smile on his face, as if he was drinking some sweet and refreshing spring water.
“Praise the Lord God! He is supreme, supreme, in charge of everything in the world, and omnipotent!…”
The conversion ceremony was completed quickly. Under the attention of everyone, Priest Papu shouted sincerely and even shed tears in his eyes. The priest of the main god who was leading the ceremony was about to carve the emblem of the main god on his forehead when Shulot's majestic voice came from afar.
"Not yet!...Let him come to see you!..."
"Let the army priests hold a conversion ceremony! Convert all captured prisoners and surrendered samurai sailors here!..."
"Well, those hundreds of tribal warriors who surrendered with him...don't wait yet!..."
