Chapter 972 Revenge and Conversion
Arrows are shot, spears are stabbed, and clubs are handed over. Four thousand imperial guards surrounded and closed, more than five hundred tribal warriors changed their flags on the spot, and most of the Totonac navy collapsed and surrendered in shock and despair! And those small squad of warriors who were stubborn and desperately resisted were like blood drops falling in the sea, only splashing circles of blood before disappearing without a trace.
"Pap! You have betrayed the gods and ancestors! Ah! You are doomed to fall into the deep sea, and your soul will be sucked into the abyss!...Uh! Hoho!..."
The crazy cursing came to an end, and Newka, the hidden snake warrior who resisted until the end, was pierced by five spears at the same time, and then provoked high. The body that was bleeding continuously was like a piece of tattered red cloth, dangling powerlessly. 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 captives kneeling on the battlefield, the corpses of more than two hundred warriors lying down, and the remains of Newka raised high up seemed to be a real omen, foreshadowing the coming of the Hidden Snake tribe. end.
"Hmm...almost. Tigerfish has arrived and is taking over the shore boats...as for this guy..."
Shulot's expression remained unchanged, looking at Priest Papu who was kneeling with bare hands dozens of steps away. He pondered for a while, then suddenly patted Hei Lang on the shoulder, and ordered.
"Hei Lang, go and help Priest Papp up and accept his surrender! Under the witness of the Lord God! From today onwards, the previous grievances between the two of you will be wiped out!..."
"Ah? Your Highness! Let me accept the surrender?"
"Yes! Go! In front of the legion, accept his surrender... Hei Lang, if you want to vent your anger, do it now! And after he surrenders, he will be ours and your subordinates!..."
"Ah! This... good! I listen to you, Your Highness!..."
Hearing this, Hei Lang pursed his lips, gritted his teeth fiercely, and then nodded in agreement. He strode up to the kneeling Priest Pap, and sized him up fiercely for a moment, like a wolf wanting to eat someone.
"Uh!...respect...respect...the leader of the black wolf..."
Priest Pap raised his head, and seeing the black wolf walking in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Right now, he has handed over all his chips, like a fish on a chopping board, letting the other party slaughter him. And if His Majesty the Mexica ignored his reputation and allowed the black wolf to sacrifice him, he would no longer be able to escape...
"The lord god bless! That black wolf... the leader... the leader..."
"You! Get up!"
The black wolf Toltek's face sank like water, and he pulled Priest Pap up from the mud. He first "slapped" a few times, and slapped Pap hard seven or eight times, until Pap was dizzy, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and even knocked out two teeth! Then, he pulled Papp's hair, and coldly pointed at the dead hidden snake warrior Newka.
"Ha! You cunning guy! I slap you a few times, and I'll show my anger for the warrior of the kingdom who fell into your hands! ...Come on! Tell me! That guy with the feather crown and armor is the most capable of all your sailors! The Hidden Snake Warrior? Is he the one who killed Tavaru of the Exploration Fleet?"
Hearing this question, Priest Pap's heart tightened. He led the navy and raided the exploration fleet, which was regarded as the biggest old enmity. At that time, the armored warrior captain of the Mexica died at the hands of Newcastle? …Thinking of this, he resisted the pain at the corner of his mouth, and replied whimpering while "coughing" blood.
"Uh...respected leader of the black wolf...that...the witness of the Lord God! It was indeed Newcastle who killed the warrior captain of the kingdom's exploration fleet, and I stopped him at that time...but as a warrior of Hidden Snake City, he didn't Don't listen to me!..."
"Bah! You cowardly fox! If you do it, you do it, and if you kill it, you kill it. There are so many excuses!...Since we were enemies at that time, we should fight with all our strength, and death in battle is worthy of the God of War! ..."
The black wolf Toltek narrowed his eyes, stared fiercely at Priest Pap for a while, then raised his hand and slapped seven or eight times, with a whistling and crackling sound. After this round of slaps, Priest Papp's eyes were full of stars, and the corner of his mouth could not stop "coughing" blood. His entire face was swollen, red like a monkey's butt, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Lord...God...ah...please...your...payment..."
"Hehe! Forgive me? Papp, you are a cowardly fox, although you are clever and cunning, you can't beat it at all!... That's all! I'll beat you again, and you're afraid that you're going to die here... But His Highness has already ordered I want to spare you the life of a fox..."
Black Wolf Toltek lifted Priest Pap with one hand, stared at him coldly for a while, and then threw him onto the muddy ground. Afterwards, he untied a sacrificial obsidian dagger from his waist, threw it to the trembling Priest Papu, pointed at the corpse of the hidden snake warrior Newka, and ordered ruthlessly.
"Witness of the Lord God! Papu, according to the tradition of the Mexica sacrifice, go and cut off that guy's head in front of the entire army, and then take out the fresh one and throw it into the fire! Then, you drink a sip of your heart's blood wine , cut off his own hair and burned it, and swore to convert to the Lord God!..."
"Blood sacrifice, blood oath to convert!...Pappu, when you convert to the Lord God, the grievances between us, the blood feud between you and the kingdom's warriors, will be wiped out!... From now on, you will be born as a warrior of the Lord God and die as a Lord God undead! . . . "
"Blood sacrifice, blood oath to convert? Witnessed by the Lord God! The blood feud is wiped out? From now on, surrender to the Lord God..."
Hearing these words, Priest Pap shook violently. He turned his head and looked at His Highness the God of Death not far away. Wearing a golden king helmet, Shulot nodded slowly as he looked at Priest Papu, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Highness! Praise you too, benevolent General Black Wolf!..."
Seeing this scene, Priest Pap showed ecstasy. Although he has been slapped and humiliated, as long as he gets such a promise under the witness of the Lord God and His Highness to eliminate the old enmity in the past... then the worry and fear that has been dreading and restless in his heart will disappear in an instant! From now on, no one can use his past experience to openly trouble him...
"Bless the lord! Your loyal servant, I offer you a divine sacrifice!..."
The holy fire was ignited, the priests sang songs, and the warriors watched solemnly. Priest Papu skillfully picked up the dagger and came to the dead hidden snake warrior Newka. He murmured a few words, as if comforting a dead soul. Then, without hesitation, he swung down the shining sharp blade! …
"Shh!..."
The sacred fire was ignited, the freshness was scorched in the fire, and the hair was burned in the fire. Bloody wine was poured down his throat, and Pap's tears and snot flowed down his throat. But he drank heavily, with a strange smile on his face, as if he was drinking some sweet and clear spring water.
"Praise the Lord God! He is supreme and mighty, in charge of everything in the world, omnipotent!..."
The conversion ceremony was completed very quickly. Under the attention of everyone, Priest Papu shouted sincerely, and even shed tears in his eyes. The main god priest who presided over the ceremony was about to carve the emblem of the main god on his forehead when Shulot's majestic voice came from afar.
"Not for now!...Let him come and see you!..."
"Let the army priests hold a conversion ceremony! All captured captives and surrendered warriors and sailors are converted here!..."
"Well, those hundreds of tribal fighters who surrendered with him...don't forget!..."
