Aztec Eternals

The setting sun fell towards the end of the river, dyeing the sky and the earth in red and yellow, pulling the river mouth fortress into a long silhouette. The evening glow falls in the center of the fortress, where there is a magnificent mansion. Hundreds of bronze-armored warriors guarded closely, and dozens of Guajili chiefs were waiting at the gate.

The front and back of the house are wide, each with its own courtyard. A bonfire was set up in the front yard, turkey was roasted, venison leg was roasted, red crab was steamed, and fish soup was boiled. Dozens of skilled servants are busy preparing for the dinner. The smell of spices mixed with the smell of food spread far away, making people move their index fingers.

As the scent travels to the backyard, it blends with the rich scent of flowers. There is a garden in the backyard where early spring flowers are in full bloom. The rare Paphiopedilum has pouch-shaped lips and exceptionally showy flowers that exude a perfume-like scent. Beautiful blue-capped hummingbirds are attracted by the scent. They undulate lightly among the flowers and hover in front of the stamens, like colorful streamers.

Shulot was wearing leather armor, smiling, watching the hummingbirds in the garden. There are several people standing behind him, and they are enjoying the flowers together. From time to time, the noise from the front yard could be heard far away, making the backyard even more silent.

"Hummingbirds are a symbol of the god of war, and the priests have studied them carefully. They have sharp beaks with sharp teeth like saw swords. It is said that the earliest obsidian war sticks were obtained by imitating the beaks of hummingbirds."

Shulot turned around with a gentle smile, like a priest-scholar.

"For hummingbirds, those with bright head feathers are generally male birds, and those with plain head feathers are female birds. However, they also have an interesting feature. When some female birds suck nectar, in order not to be disturbed by male birds, It deliberately grows gorgeous head feathers, pretending to be a male bird."

Speaking of this, Shulot paused, pointed at the gorgeous hummingbird in front of him, and asked the red frog chief Keka.

"Kaka, look at this hummingbird, is it a male or a female?"

"Well"

Coca is dressed in the costume of the Alliance, with the amulet of the sun god around his neck. He widened his eyes and stared at the little hummingbird for a long time.

"Great chief, is this a female bird?"

"are you sure?"

"Ah, is it a male bird?"

Shulot smiled. He stretched out his hand again, pointing to the little yellow feathers on the hummingbird's head.

"You see, it has this yellow feather on its head, not pure blue. So, it's a female bird."

"Well, the warchief is wise."

Keka looked at the hummingbird, which was only the size of a finger, and found out a few yellow spots with difficulty, so he should be.

"Kaka, these are the common sense of priests of the main god."

Shulot looked serious.

"Have you studied with the priest recently?"

"I have learned the great chief, but I forgot it after learning it"

Hearing that he was studying with the priest, Keka's face turned bitter. He has held a spear for half his life, and has shot a bow for more than ten years. For the first time, he knows that what is more tiring than fighting is reciting priestly knowledge and learning graphic characters.

Beside Keka, the red monkey chief Ozoma sneered secretly, while the black wolf Toltek showed his approval.

"Oh? How can it work? Over the past few months, Ozoma has been much better than you, and even the priests who guide him are full of praise."

Shulot looked at the two chiefs and smiled faintly.

"Kaka, why don't I send you to Shenwei University in the capital, and study hard for five years. How about it? Ozoma, you are very talented, so go and study together, as long as you study for three years. Wait until you come out , just to be the honorable priest of the main god and manage one party.”

"Ah! Great Chief!"

Hearing this, Ozoma's smile faltered. He quickly fell to his knees and begged the king for orders.

"I only want to put on armor and hold a spear for you, and fight bravely!"

"Exactly! Chief, Keka doesn't want to be a priest, but only wants to lead the army for you!"

Keka also hurriedly knelt down, looking terrified.

"Oh? You don't want to be priests, you only want to lead soldiers?"

"I only want to lead troops! Chief, you promised me before!"

Keka gritted his teeth, raised his head and shouted boldly. Ozoma didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and nodded.

"Indeed. I promised you that it is not impossible to let you continue to lead troops."

Shulot nodded slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It's just that I want to make great use of the Guajili warriors. They need to form a formal army and be brought under the command of the kingdom. It's impossible to be in a state of disunity and lax discipline like now."

After hearing this, Ozoma immediately understood. He pursed his lips, peeked at the great chief's face, and bowed to the ground.

"Great chief, you are my wolf king! I will obey your orders no matter how to reorganize the tribe!"

"Um."

Xiuluo nodded, and looked at Keka again.

"Coca, what do you say?"

Coca hesitated. He looked at Ozoma, and then at General Heilang next to him. Toltek glared angrily, and directly pressed his hand on the baton. Ke Ka was startled, and then fell to the ground.

"Everything is up to you, Great Chief!"

"good!"

A smile appeared on the king's face. He took a step forward, shook the hair of the two, and then ordered.

"Kaka, Ozoma, all your tribal fighters must be incorporated into the banner team! Among the fifteen banner teams, the red frog and red monkey tribes can each have a four thousand-man banner team, and you will be the leader of the banner team , the priests will be dispatched by the alliance. As for the extra troops, a new banner team will be set up! Each banner team will have 400 soldiers and 6,000 people to form the Guajili Army, which will be trained and commanded by the officers of the kingdom. Serve as two deputy army commanders, each leading 3,000 people. As for the army commander"

Shulot looked at Toltek next to him. Toltek was shocked. He looked excited and had some guesses.

"The head of the legion is the black wolf Toltek!"

"Your Highness! Thank you for your forgiveness! I, Toltek, will die for you!"

Hei Lang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times with a "bang bang" until his forehead got a red mark.

"Hei Lang, my beloved general. Get up!"

Shulot lifted the black wolf up with his own hands, and said gently.

"Northern expedition to the Red Fox Valley, you sacrificed your life to fight bravely and didn't stop until you were injured. There is nothing wrong with you. In my heart, you have always been an unrivaled warrior! It's just, Hei Lang, from now on, you have to take on more responsibilities. The duty of the commander. As a commander, you must pay attention to the overall situation of the battlefield, plan the overall gains and losses, and not throw yourself to death lightly!"

"In the past few months, I have not summoned you. On the one hand, it is to let you recover from your injuries, and on the other hand, it is to let you calm down and reflect on your gains and losses. I am very pleased to hear that you are studying patiently in the camp. Want to To take on a big responsibility, you must go through this level of training. Next, I will call all the generals to sort out the gains and losses of the Northern Expedition together, and summarize the war experience. You have to be present, to speak, and to study and think patiently!"

After hearing these words, Toltek nodded heavily, his eyes were a little moist.

"Your Highness, I will listen to you!"

"Okay, Black Wolf! Don't be arrogant or impetuous, neither angry nor discouraged. Only those with thunder in their chest and a face like a lake can be the leader of the army! I always have high hopes for you."

The king smiled gently, and patted Hei Lang on the shoulder. Then he looked at the two chiefs. Ozoma hurriedly lowered his head, put away the envy on his face.

"Kaka, Ozoma, you all get up too! From now on, you must lead your own troops and follow the command of the leader of the black wolf!"

"Listen to you, Warchief."

"Yes, Warchief."

Xiulot stared at the three of them, pondered for a while, and spoke slowly.

"Hei Lang, since you are going to be the head of the army, you must have troops directly under you. I will allow you to take five hundred throwing vanguards from the Janissaries, and give you a quota of one thousand Prepecha warriors from the kingdom's Tuntian Selected from the army."

The kingdom's garrison army mainly comes from Tarasco's surrendered army, among which there are a lot of warriors.

"As for the remaining Coca, I remember it was the black wolf you shot?"

Shulot stared at Coca and asked calmly.

"Ah! Great Chief, the ones who actually shot the black wolf were Ivikan from the Red Fox Tribe and Amoxi from the Red Crow Tribe. I just"

Coca is a bit bitter. At that time, in order to encourage the tribe, he took the credit for shooting the black wolf as his own, but now he has cheated himself, and there is no way to refute it.

"Kaka, I know you have four hundred red-haired hunters. Well, hand over two hundred to the head of the Black Wolf Army as compensation."

The king smiled indifferently, and his words could not be refused.

"Ozoma, and you, hand over 100 red-haired hunters. Then recruit 200 red-haired hunters from various ministries, gather 500 elites, and serve as Heilang's direct subordinates."

In this way, the Guajili Army was fully composed of 8,000 people. Hei Lang, the head of the legion, has 2,000 elites directly under his command, commanding 3,000 dog descendants each of the red frog and red monkey, which can basically maintain the balance.

Shulot waited for a moment, and he didn't shout again until Coca and Ozoma both nodded.

"The lord god bears witness, the three of you will swear in front of me! Support each other in the legion, unite as one, and have no grudges against each other!"

Hearing this, Heilang raised his brows, Keka's eyes widened, and Ozoma's eyes flickered. The three of them looked at each other, speechless for a while.

As the sun sets, the courtyard is covered with rays of light, and hummingbirds are flying among the flowers. The king's gaze brought heavy pressure, and Bertard also looked at it calmly.

Hei Lang closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He breathed out, and finally raised his hand to swear.

"Witness of the Lord God! I am the black wolf Toltek!"

Keka kept his eyes wide open, looking at Chief Death for a while, then at the other two, and said in a low voice.

"Witness of the Lord God! I am the red frog Keka!"

Ozoma lowered his eyebrows, clenched his fists in his chest, and looked devout and sincere.

"The lord god bears witness! I am the red monkey Ozoma!"

"I will assume the responsibilities of the legion, obey the orders of His Highness (the Great Chief), support each other with them, unite as one, and have no grievances with each other!"

The three of them paused for a moment, then spoke together, and made a godly oath in front of the king!

"Okay! Very good! I will hand over the new legion to you!"

Xiulot laughed with satisfaction. He looked around at the generals, seeing the expressions with different expressions, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Haha, let's all go to the front yard! The dinner party is already ready, let the chiefs outside the door come in and take their seats! Tonight, eat meat, drink to your heart's content, sing to your heart's content, and don't go home until you're drunk!"

The king's laughter spread into the sky, and the setting sun fell into the great lake with peace of mind. As night fell and the wind blew, a roaring campfire lit the front yard, filling the air with tangy aromas.

The musicians played the flying bamboo flutes, and the girls danced cheerfully. The generals and the leaders sat around in front of the bonfire and saluted the great chief together. Then, the grand dinner began. Everyone feasted and drank all night long, enjoying the joy of the night until they were too drunk!
