As the sun rises, the shining royal flag returns to the water village, while the gray-black fox wolf quietly leaves. Admiral Pap put on the tattered feathered serpent robe and messy feather crown, and became the priest of the sun and the feathered serpent again, and also became a leader of the navy who had just been defeated. Then, he led hundreds of close tribal warriors to board hundreds of small boats and disappeared into the sky on the eastern seaboard.
The sun rises and sets, and a few days pass by in a hurry, and it is the beginning of July. July is the time when the rainy season flourishes, and even the wind and rain are accompanied by dull thunder. And dark clouds gathered in Hidden Snake City, spreading the news of the navy's defeat, which also disturbed the troubled hearts of the nobles.
At this time when danger and death are approaching, the strong desire for life will blind all previous reason, and eventually reveal fatal flaws. And the flaws appeared silently, until the pattering summer rain, accompanied by thunder in the rainy season, exploded at the east gate of Hidden Snake City! …
"Ah?! Pap! How dare you lie to me!... Gods! You! You want to... uh! Ho ho!..."
The drizzle falls and the night becomes dark. The fire outside Hidden Snake City flickered on and off, surrounding it vaguely in the distance, but it was always hard to see clearly. Looking carefully from the top of the East City, the distant siege camps looked like wolves lying on the ground, silently waiting for prey.
At this moment, hundreds of tribal warriors who had "fleeed" the Navy, as the forerunners of the wolf pack, had taken control of the east gate of Hidden Snake City near the river with the help of "internal agents". As for the high-status "internal agent"...
"Pfft!..."
The drizzle hits my face, not cold, but rather warm. General Pappu's eyes were cold and he pulled out the red dagger with all his strength. In an instant, the warmer blood spurted out violently from the heart of Thapatel, the descendant of the hidden snake god, splashing all over Pappu's head and face.
"Hey! Thapatel, I stabbed you in the heart, not because I hate you, but I just want you to go faster! You must know that you are not only my old acquaintance, but also the most respected descendant of the god in Hidden Snake City. One of the bloodlines!...What a pity! Such a sacred bloodline will soon be cut off in front of my eyes...May the gods lead your soul, your wife and children, to the distant island of God and the sky! …”
General Pappu sighed, but his eyes were still cold. He moved gently to help the old acquaintance of the god in front of him and closed his eyes. Then, he prayed two words for the other party in the tone of the Quetzalcoatl priest and in accordance with the traditions of the Hidden Serpent tribes. After doing all this, he stood silently on the wall of the East City. He looked at the noble warriors, the family members of the divine descendants lying at the city gate, and the large basket of property that had been looted by his men, and calmly shook his head.
"God bless you! Chuchute, move quickly! Send the signal and let the kingdom's legions enter the city!"
"Yes, boss!"
Soon, amid the drizzle, several cloaks were set up on the east wall of Hidden Snake City, swaying with firelights to convey messages. Within a quarter of an hour, a large group of waiting kingdom warriors came running quickly. When this group of warriors from the kingdom came closer and saw the densely packed, elite and brave red-haired hunters, Pappu's indifferent expression suddenly froze, and his waist instantly bowed.
"Ah! God bless you! ... Respected General Black Wolf! Why are you here in person..."
"What? Pappu, do I still have to follow your instructions whether I come to fight or not?"
"Uh... General Black Wolf, you are the leader of the legion, so of course I listen to you... It's just... your status is noble and prominent, why take risks on the front line..."
"Ha! I, Black Wolf, have fought so many battles and rushed through so many formations. This is the first time I know what a 'noble and distinguished' I am... What's more, according to our Mexican tradition, the more noble and distinguished I am, the more distinguished I am." , the more we have to fight in the frontline battle formation!..."
The black wolf Toltec sneered and strode up the tower. He kept his head high and didn't even look at Pap. Then, he looked around the surrounding terrain, looked solemn, and gave stern instructions.
"Uta, go! Bring two hundred red-haired hunters and secure the city gate and key areas for me!"
"Yes! Black Wolf Leader!"
"Olin, bring your thousand snake camp and seal the south gate for me!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Red Deer, lead a battalion leader and block the north gate for me!"
"Yes! Great Chief!"
"Tupa!"
"Here, legion commander!"
Hearing this changed title, Black Wolf touched his chin and glanced at Tupa, his former bodyguard. After a moment, he reached out and patted Tupa's shoulder affectionately, and Tupa smiled in agreement.
"You kid... after this battle, you will be promoted to deputy commander!..."
"Hehe! Praise the Lord God, praise His Highness, and also praise the Black Wolf Leader!..."
"Haha, that's it! I've asked Lin Lang to lead people to surround the farthest west gate. The gods, nobles and priests in the city will not have any chance to escape!...
Black Wolf put away his smile, pointed at the pyramid temple in the center of the city-state, and gave serious instructions.
"Tupa, the most important task is for you! Give you two battalion heads and attack the temple area in the center of the city! ...Remember to bring a spare copper axe, don't be merciful, and be sure to smash those in the temple area. The hardest bone!... God bless you! Tupa, you must bring the chief priest of the seaside back to me, dead or alive!"
"Yes! Boss!..."
Tupa bowed his head and agreed, and then left excitedly with the warriors. This hardest bone is naturally the greatest achievement in this battle! In fact, if His Highness hadn't been determined to train him to take over the future Coastal Legion... I'm afraid the Black Wolf leader might not have given him this task and credit!
The wind is bleak and murderous intentions are rampant. In the rainy night on the seaside, the kingdom's army poured into the city one after another, and rushed in all directions one after another. Soon, fierce shouts of killing and dying screams sounded throughout the city, and flowed everywhere with the wind and rain!
"Praise the Lord God! Fight for God! Kill! Kill! Kill!..."
Listening to the boiling shouts of killing, General Papu lowered his head, with a smile of fear and respect on his face. His eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he felt a chill in his heart.
"God bless you! Those who entered the city to fight tonight are all kingdom legions that have nothing to do with the Totonac tribes, and they have the most ferocious General Black Wolf in charge... Ah! It seems that the Mexicans are ready to dig up all the divine vines. Root system! For this last Hidden Snake Holy City, as well as the gods and priests in the holy city, they will kill them until rivers of blood flow, leaving no hidden dangers!…"
"Pap, you cunning guy, your eyes are moving around, what are you thinking about?!"
The black wolf Toltec's eyes widened, he stretched out his big hand and patted Pappu's shoulder hard, causing him to tremble in shock. However, Hei Lang had no intention of letting him go. He grabbed his shoulders hard and looked at him coldly for a while. It wasn't until Papu started sweating on his back that the black wolf showed a wolf-like smile, and shouted in a deep voice with the keen instinct of a beast.
"Ha! Pappu, I can see that you are wondering about His Highness's thoughts, right?...Ha! Is His Highness's thoughts also something you should be pondering?!..."
"Ah this! Witness the Lord God! Leader Black Wolf, I...I didn't! I dare not..."
"Okay! Shut up!"
“…”
Black Wolf looked cold and stopped Pappu's words. After a moment, he frowned, squeezed the opponent's arm that was not strong enough, and hammered the opponent's chest that was not thick enough. Then he spoke coldly amidst Papu's painful cough.
"Witness the Lord God! Pappu, look at your thin arms and legs. You probably can't defeat even the third-level elite warriors of the kingdom! With your martial arts skills, you still want to lead an army alone and expand the territory of the kingdom? Give me a good practice, at least you must look like a war priest!..."
"Uh, yes! Yes!...It's up to you, Black Wolf Leader..."
Facing Black Wolf's reprimand, Pappu lowered his head and did not dare to refute. But what Black Wolf said next was beyond his expectation.
"Hey, Lord God! I don't know what your Highness values in you..."
Black Wolf shook his head and looked at the temple pyramid not far away under the rain. Listening to the familiar fighting and howling, his eyes gradually turned red. But he still obeyed the king's order, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and just stayed on top of the city with Papu.
"God bless you! His Highness asked me to come here with two instructions. One is to watch the cleaning up of Hidden Snake City and not to kill too many civilians. The other is to keep an eye on you and don't let you be killed by any city. The tribal warriors were attacked and killed for no apparent reason!…”
"Ah? Chief Black Wolf...His Highness's will is not to massacre the city?...Uh, do you want you to protect my safety?..."
Hearing this, Admiral Papu stammered, his voice trembled a little, but he felt a strange feeling in his heart. Black Wolf glanced at him disdainfully and said nothing. But such demeanor and actions have already shown everything.
