The mountain city is high and dangerous, and it is dim and dull on rainy nights. Black Snake Turcotte had no expression on his face, standing on the wall of the back village of the mountain city, looking at the unclear mountain road, waiting for the unclear future. Beside him, the thin Dark Snake was wearing leather armor with hope in his eyes. He looked up at his father for a moment, then lowered his head silently.
Later, dozens of Black Snake guards and more than a hundred Cloud Snake warriors gathered at the wall of the village, waiting in silence under the rain. Under the scanty firelight, many people were hungry, sallow, skinny, and shriveled. Some people are so deficient in salt that their whole bodies are swollen and they can't stand firm; others have expressions of deathly silence, and the weapons in their hands are dripping with blood, and they don't know whose blood it is...
At this moment, everyone was silent together, with their heads lowered, as if they were unwilling to face and had to face what was coming next, leaving life and death in other people's hands.
On this quiet rainy night, they took that step... Since then, everyone has betrayed the inherited God of Hunting, betrayed the descendants of the Cloud Snake God in the former village, and betrayed the persistence of the past three and a half years! ... However, they actually have no choice... Their choice is just to try their best to survive in the long night without hope and see the light of day.
It was raining heavily at night, and a large group of imperial guards wore black cloaks and hid some torches, walking up the mountain road that was only one person wide. They moved forward in a low voice in the rainy night, like a truly chilling "black snake", going to catch the long-awaited prey!
On a night like this, only the most highly organized janitor warriors could organize climbs and sieges. And in such a dangerous terrain, if they are blocked by the enemy, thrown by rolling stones and fallen trees... only the elite guards can have the last chance to seize the city with the help of internal agents!
Fortunately, the brutal siege battle that was expected did not happen. The village gate was opened, and the guarding Cloud Snake warriors bowed their heads and tied their hands. Everything went smoothly! Just like after a long wait, the melon is finally ripe and the fruit falls from the tree, splashing red juice, leaving the deepest black and red.
Soon, dozens of Kingdom Guards warriors rushed into the back village and immediately took control of the area around the village gate. Black Snake Turcotte led many defenders, dropped their weapons, and knelt down in front of the kingdom's legions!
"Praise the Lord God! We dedicate the unshakable mountain city to the Supreme Lord God and His Highness..."
After a while, more and more imperial guards poured into the back village, and the noise gradually rose, but there was never a cry of fighting or fighting. And after two or three moments of planting, the Yunshe Hou Village built on the flat top of the mountain, together with more than two thousand acres of barren mountain fields around it, completely fell under the control of the kingdom!
"The Lord God bless you! Dear Black Snake God Descendant Turcotte, you finally made the right choice!"
With a smile on his face, Priest Mecat and the old militiaman Chihuaco walked out of the ranks of the praetorian warriors. He climbed up the wall of the village and looked at the large fields inside and outside the back village, and then looked at the front village not far away, on another adjacent hilltop, and could not hide the excitement on his face.
"Haha! Without the mountain fields of the back village, even if they can't attack Yun She's front village tonight, they won't be able to defend it any longer!..."
"Hahaha! This last Yunshe Mountain City, this ancient fortress that never fell, finally fell into the hands of the kingdom!..."
Hearing the words of Priest Mecat, Black Snake Turcotte bowed his head deeply and bowed his waist silently. He quietly pulled down Dark Snake's sleeve. The thin Dark Snake pursed his lips, walked to the ranks of the Imperial Guards, lowered his head to the old militiaman Chihuaco, and called out in a low voice.
"Father Qi!..."
"Hey! Dark Snake, it's really not easy for you to stay alone in the village for so long..."
Looking at the small, skinny and malnourished Dark Snake, the veteran militiaman Chihuaco sighed helplessly. He reached out his hand kindly, rubbed Dark Snake's hair, glanced at Black Snake, and said as if he had made a promise.
"Witness the Lord God! Don't worry! The warriors of the kingdom have entered the village, and the Lord God's light has arrived... Everything will be over! Everything will get better! Your Highness is really kind..."
"Praise the Lord God of Light! Praise Your Merciful Highness!"
After listening to this conversation, Black Snake Turcotte felt a little calmer. He still lowered his head and begged in a deep voice to Priest Mekart.
"Dear Kingdom Envoy! Please also... don't forget the promise made under the Death Temple... What will happen after we surrender..."
Hearing this, Priest Mekart raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile on his face. He looked at the way Black Snake bowed his head respectfully and said calmly.
"Black Snake God Descendant, don't worry! You offered the Cloud Snake Rear Village, His Highness's promise to preserve the quota of 800 people, and the fiefdom of the Northern Continent. Naturally, it will be fulfilled! In fact, if not, Your Highness, before you let go of the grain and salt that you put in the stronghold... I am afraid that there will be another batch of deaths in the back of your stronghold, and you won't even be able to collect the eight hundred people!..."
Hearing this, Black Snake Turcotte lowered his eyes and was speechless. This long divine war was so cruel, so cruel that it exceeded the imagination of all Tlaxcala nobles!
The Mexica swept across the four kingdoms and sacrificed tens of thousands of gods, nobles, priests, chieftains and warriors! Then, the army surrounded Yunshe Mountain City for three and a half years without any sign of giving up. This long siege suddenly surrounded several villages and 12,000 to 3,000 tribesmen in Yun She City, until only the front and rear villages were left, with a total of less than 3,000 people!
Materials were scarce, including lack of salt and food. Almost all the old, weak, women and children in each tribe died, and the weak and strong men were also forced to go down the mountain to attack the Mexica blockade, and in the end they either died or surrendered. And after the siege that was so terrible that it wiped out all faith and hope, the population of Yunshe Houzhai at this time was indeed only more than 800 people...
"The Lord God controls destiny, and also controls all the ministries in the world!... The old Cloud Snake God is dead. And the descendants of the Cloud Snake God in various tribes are destined to be sacrificed and die... Dear Kingdom Envoy, I sincerely thank the Lord God for his kindness, thank you His Highness’s generosity can spare us humble mountain remnants!…”
"Well, the Lord God bless you! Descendants of the Black Snake God, you can understand the kindness of the Lord God and His Highness, even if you have found a bright and right path for your future..."
Hearing Black Snake Turcotte's words, Priest Mecat nodded affirmatively. Since the other party is so sensible and has a son like An She, he will naturally not be stingy and ask for a few more words.
"Turcott, please remember! You have the blood of the Cloud Snake God flowing in your body. Although His Highness can tolerate you, other people in the alliance, including the God King of the alliance, may not be able to tolerate you..."
"Therefore, the first thing for you is to convert to the Lord God! You must show enough piety, even better than other believers!...Similarly, you must also keep a low profile, in terms of clothing, traditions and rituals, We all have to be cautious and move closer to the Mexican nobles..."
"Besides these, the most important task right now..."
Priest Mekart smiled and pointed at the front village not far away, and then pointed at the passage between the two villages. Looking from this direction, the simple ropeway connected by ropes and wooden boards, like a suspended natural barrier, looks like a cloud snake with its head hanging down, giving off the dark glow of death.
"Dear Black Snake Goddess Turcotte! Please send your personal bodyguard warriors to cross the ropeway and find a way to control the sentry at the other end... Lead the kingdom's brave guard warriors to attack the last cloud snake Let’s go to Qianzhai!… You have to know that the Supreme Lord God has been waiting for too long to taste the most noble and delicious Cloud Snake City Lord Tepetik, as well as the last remaining noble species of Cloud Snake…”
"The night is long, the night rain is heavy, and it's still very early!... When the sun rises tomorrow, this long siege will really end. And if the banner of the Lord God can be established on the ancient On the Yunshe Temple, I saw the first ray of dawn in the east..."
"The Lord God bless you! Then we can send an envoy to report the victory to His Highness! And this will give your future a brighter light!..."
