Aztec Eternals

"Mighty Rain God!"

Surrounded by hundreds of warriors, Yeguo City's military chief, Kawa, stood on the east bank of the river. He squinted his eyes to avoid the glaring sunset in the west, and carefully looked at the long boat on the river.

"What the hell is that?"

"Captain Yunshi, that should be the ship of the Aztec Tigers."

Senior scout Qiao Ao bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Two days ago, I saw these boats being towed by people and walking on the water."

"What, there is such a big ship!"

Yunshi Kawa stared wide-eyed, stretched out his hands and gestured in front of his eyes, estimating the length of the long boat.

"At least as long as twelve men! Ten times as long as a canoe!"

The length of a person is about 1.5 meters. Twelve people are 18 meters long. The canoes of the mountain tribes are relatively small, usually only two meters long for easy access to the shore.

"Ear, aren't the Aztec tiger people in the north good at fighting on foot? How could they build such a sacred ship?"

Yunshi Kawa clenched his spear tightly, inexplicably surprised. The people in the rain worship the god of rain, and the boat in the water is also an important symbol of belief for them.

According to the legend, after having sex with the Goddess of Rain, Father Feathered Serpent made a big mistake and went to the Great Lake in the East on a snake boat. The Mayans, who owned large ships and believed in feathered snakes, had always had good relations with the Mixtec states on the southern coast, and had frequent business contacts. In the prosperous black mandala, there are often merchant ships of the Mayans on the coast, passing through the endless and vast southern lake, bringing precious top-grade turquoise and emerald.

"...Boss, they might, not the Khajiit."

Ear Qiaoao scratched his head and said uncertainly.

"I've heard them sing, it doesn't seem to be Nahua language. Their accent is very similar to the group of nobles who escaped a few years ago. They should be the Eaglemen of the Condor Eagle tribe. The Eaglemen are good at shipbuilding and also trade with city-states. Bronze wares. These big ships are probably built by them."

The name "djo'o" means "ear" in Mixtec. Well, the scouts who can get this name usually have excellent hearing.

"The Hawkman of Tarasco?"

Hearing this, unforgettable memories emerged in Yunshi Kawa's mind.

A few years ago, Prince Tarasco, the commander of the South Road, Kuiyusi, went ashore not far from the southwest along the Talsas River, and fled into Yeguo City. As one of the military leaders of Yeguo City, he entertained the opponent's party for several months.

However, when the Aztec king personally commanded the army and defeated the Tlaxcalan army, the attitude of the elders changed. The leader of Yunchen in Shenshi City also sent a message. In the end, it was he himself who sent the brave Prince Queuse on his way with a cup of wonderful poisoned wine.

"Ha! The elders are timid, and the leader of Yunchen is also indecisive. Today, the eagle people have become the minions of the tiger people, and the snake people are about to perish! The vicious tigers of the Aztecs rushed to eat After leaving the Temple of the Clouds, the holy People of the Rain, what choice do we have now? We can only fight!"

Thinking of this, Yunshi Kawa's eyes sharpened, and the fighting spirit burned in his chest. He looked around, looked at the crowd of tribal warriors, and encouraged him loudly.

"Warriors of the Rain God! The ferocious tiger men and eagle men have actually appeared here, not far from the city-state! They are sitting on a big ship, and they want to sneak attack on our city and destroy our temple. Like what's happening right now in the Tehuacan Valley!"

Speaking of this, Yunshi Kawa paused. The reason why he led the army and appeared here was also because he received the news that Shenshi City was besieged, so he hurriedly withdrew from the mud village and prepared to return to Yeguo City to garrison.

"The rain god is angry, the rain god is howling! This is the domain of the rain god Zawi, and it is also our land! We are the descendants of the rain god, and we have been blessed by the god for thousands of years!"

Yunshi Kawa looked excited and raised his spear, even the feathers behind him trembled in the wind.

"Warriors of the Rain God! In order to protect our homeland, go, make a desperate attack, and defeat the invading enemies! Because, the supreme Rain God, is watching us!"

"Hey! The Rain God is watching us!."

More than a thousand tribal warriors, with fanatical expressions, roared in unison, like the wind and thunder before a storm. Then, forty small boats, carrying nearly two hundred tribal warriors, went down the river and rushed towards the long boat on the west bank downstream!

"The Mixtecs are coming!"

The sharp shouts spread along the river bank, and the Prepecha warriors in formation instantly became tense. Battalion Commander Pimon climbed up the hill, watched the incoming boats, and adjusted the position of the army formation. It wasn't until the Mixtec boats got closer and closer, approaching within two hundred steps, that he was sure and shouted sharply.

"The enemy's target is the longship! Archers, advance fifty steps, help defend the kingdom's fleet, and shoot freely!"

The group of boats sailed towards the long boats to engage in water battles, and the heavily armored warriors and young captives on the shore were temporarily useless. And the only ones who could provide immediate support were the archers in the battalion.

"One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps! Archers on board, shoot quickly!"

Puapula opened his big bow, aimed at the tribal warriors on the small boat, and shot it with one arrow.

"Whoosh!"

There is no doubt that this precise arrow brushed the enemy's hair and shot into the water.

"Damn! The wind is smooth, the enemy's boat is so fast!"

Puap gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, looked at the enemy ship that was getting closer, and drew his bow again to shoot an arrow.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The boats sailed within forty steps, and the second round of feathered arrows struck quickly. Almost instantly, several screams erupted from the Mystek fighters on the opposite side. Several tribal fighters leaned their bodies and fell into the water with a "plop". The running boats immediately began to scatter.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Within twenty steps, the third round of feathered arrows was shot from the shore and the boat at the same time. The shouts of the Mixtec people suddenly shrieked! More than a dozen elites were killed by arrows, more people were injured, and several small boats collided with each other. However, the remaining Mixtec fighters were driving closer and closer in a flying boat. They raised the spears in their hands, took advantage of the speed of the water to speed up the boat, and after aiming for a while, they howled ferociously.

"Bless the rain god! For the clan! Shoot!."

"Shhhhhhhhh!"

"Blind God!"

The old militiaman Chivako shuddered and subconsciously squatted down. A heavy and sharp stone spear roared over his head, and with a "duh" sound, it was nailed to the solid wood deck. And another sailor on the ship only had time to let out a scream before he was shot down to the ground by a fierce spear. The falling stone spear pierced the cotton armor, creating a huge wound, and the bright red and viscera flowed instantly, making it impossible to save.

The spear throwing of the Mixtecs was indeed a bit poor in accuracy, and only hit seven or eight people. But this kind of spear throwing is extremely fierce due to the speed of the ship, and it is dead if it is shot!

"Blessed by the Lord God, there are only twenty steps left! Ten steps! Damn, it's crazy not to slow down!!"

The river water is surging, bright red spreads. The small boat was flying fast, hitting like throwing a spear. Ash Puap dropped his longbow and raised his shield. He roared angrily, even his expression was a little distorted.

"Quick! Quick! The samurai set up his spear, and the sailor held his spear! Press against the shields on both sides, and prepare for the impact! Ah!"

"Boom!. Bang! Bang!"
