Chapter 979 Temples Are Burning, Priests Are Cursing, City-States Are Dying

The rain was sporadic at night, the fire was on and off, and the howling suddenly rose and disappeared. Black Wolf Toltek stood proudly, standing on the top of the city. General Papp bowed slightly, with a respectful and obedient demeanor, and took a step behind. The two stood in front of each other like this, standing on the high city wall, watching the fierce shouts of killing spread all the way, watching the swaying flames flickering in the drizzle, until they covered the entire city-state!

"The Lord God blesses! He is watching us!...Kill! Kill these so-called god descendants who obey the false gods, and destroy all the hidden snake tribes who rebelled against the alliance!..."

The night was getting darker, but the fighting was boiling. The warriors of the kingdom swept like a storm, flooding all the city gates. The Hidden Snake Warriors were suddenly attacked, and there was no time to organize them, and even the leader of the tribe could not be found. This night, their weak and dying resistance was like a summer flower knocked down by a rainstorm, trampled on by straw sandals, and oozing red juice. Then, the bright red blooms began to circle from the outer city on all sides, and gradually rotated to the very center of the ancient city. In the end, the flowing blood gathered together, as if flowing upstream, until it reached the towering pyramid!

"Praise the Lord God! Let's fight for the Lord God and capture this last false holy temple!"

The fighting came like a tide, drowning everything in the city, and finally gathered in front of the pyramid in the center. The warriors of the Kingdom of Zealots shouted the slogan of the main god, swung their sharp battle axes, and chopped down the last stubborn temple guards. Then, stepping on the slippery rain and blood, stepping on the dying Hidden Serpent Warrior, they went to the highest temple step by step, to the temple of Feathered Serpent and the Sun!

"Ah! Gods in the sky! That icy sun, that feathered snake flying away!... Let us shed our last blood and die for them!..."

Soon, more and more corpses fell, and fewer and fewer temple guards resisted. Even the gods and priests of the temple joined the front line of the fight. They shouted frantically and desperately, blocked the entrance of the temple, and were easily stabbed down by the bronze spears, turning into layer upon layer of sacrifices. Seeing that this ancient holy city pyramid, this last temple of the sun and the Feathered Serpent, is about to lose its hold!

"Gods bless you! Let's ignite the flames of the sun, and follow in the footsteps of the Feathered Serpent to the endless and vast East China Sea!..."

In the majestic and deep temple, the surviving Totonak elders uttered desperate and mournful cries, while holding up the torches in their hands. Surrounded by many elders, a stooped Totonac old man finally appeared at the top of the pyramid temple. Wearing an ancient divine crown composed of long golden feathers, and a three-color extended feather sacrificial robe, holding a burning torch in his hand, he walked out of the temple slowly and appeared in front of the rain curtain and many warriors. And the torch in his hand, dripping with raindrops, did not go out at all, and even shone with a stunning red light!

"Lord God! He is the 'Honorable One of the Sea and the Earth', the High Priest of the Hidden Snake City, Atkoyotelsin!"

General Papp let out a low voice, and couldn't help raising his head, staring at the extraordinarily gorgeous and extraordinarily dim figure, as if seeing the end of dusk. From such a distance, he actually couldn't see the figure clearly, but he could clearly recall the golden crown with long feathers symbolizing the sun, and the three-color feather robe symbolizing the feathered snake.

And the old man under the golden crown and feather robe is the inheritor of the ancient divinity, the former spiritual leader of millions of Totonak tribes, and the most honorable seaside chief priest!

"Huh? He is the leader of Hidden Snake City, so what kind of seaside chief priest?"

Black Wolf Toltek narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man on the pyramid for a while, but there was no fear or respect for divinity on his face. He looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked with some doubts.

"Pap, why can't the torch in the old man's hand be extinguished in the rain?"

"Well…"

Hearing such a question, Jiangjun Papp was stunned in place, and his sad mood was interrupted by it. He was stunned for a few breaths before he came back to his senses, bowed his head and answered frankly.

"Boss Heilang, that's 'God Fire'...Actually, it's a torch that has been soaked in very light black oil for a long time...This black oil is a gift from the Sea God, and it has the divinity of the mother of the sea, so it can burn in the rain..."

"Oh! It turned out to be black oil!..."

Hearing this, Hei Lang patted his head vigorously and suddenly realized.

"Yes! I remembered! When attacking the ancient city of the Feathered Serpent, the Priests of the Feathered Serpent also burned a lot of black oil that is not afraid of water. That fire burned down the entire temple!..."

"..."

Jiangjun Papp lowered his eyes and remained silent. He once again recalled the destruction of Feather Serpent Ancient City, recalled the despair when his faith collapsed... But for some reason, this time, he didn't feel much sadness, but only had unspeakable silent emotion.

"The gods of the seaside are about to die... and the new main god will devour their corpses, their temples, and their believers... The most dazzling sun will rise from the west to replace everything that existed before!..."

"Haha! The gods are watching us! This is the last moment, the coming of the end, and the end of the fourth era!..."

On the pyramid temple tens of meters high, Atkoyotelsin, the chief priest of the sea, holds an inextinguishable torch. He screamed old and mournfully, his voice penetrated into people's hearts under the rainy night, like a dying night owl.

"The temples of the gods have been passed down for thousands of years... They will die in the apocalypse, and they will return in the new era!..."

"The gods are immortal, and the gods will return!..."

In front of the temple, the priests and elders shouted in unison. That desperate and crazy expression, that twisted and stubborn posture, are like grasses on the bottom of the sea, about to be entangled and fall into the endless deep sea.

"The priests of the gods inherit the immortal divinity... We will die tonight, and we will be resurrected in the new era!..."

"The divinity is immortal, resurrected after death!..."

"Come! The gods lead us! Let us ignite the Sea God's gift, turn it into burning smoke, and float into the kingdom of the gods! Hahaha!..."

"Ignite the gift and float into the Kingdom of God! Hahaha!..."

The sky is getting darker, and the rain seems to be stagnant. In front of the besieging warriors of the kingdom, a red fire rose suddenly, like the giant mouth of a volcanic monster, devouring the dying corpses, as well as the living priests. Soon, those shouts in the flames suddenly turned into crazy howls, and twisted into dying curses, floating from afar.

"Hahaha! I curse you, evil Mexica!...forever fall into the Absolute Territory and the Abyss!...soul...forever..."

Hearing the old, stern and disappearing curse sound, General Papp trembled all over, and slowly lowered his head. In front of him, Black Wolf Toltek frowned, listened carefully for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Pap, is this the voice of the chief priest?"

".Um... Hei Lang Boss, it should be..."

"So, he fought with me for three years, and now he died casually like this? He died after shouting a few words?!"

".Well... it should be..."

"Ah! No!! Your Highness said, we must determine his life and death!..."

Hearing this, Hei Lang felt unnamed anger welling up in his chest, and he couldn't help roaring. Afterwards, with a sharp look in his eyes, he gave orders to the red-haired personal guard Cha Bo beside him.

"Chabo, it's raining all the time, the wood is wet, and the temple won't be able to burn for a while! Go! Bring me two teams of personal guards there, help Tupa, and put out the black oil fire! Then, find the old man's body. If you want to see people alive, you want to see dead bodies, bring them here!"

"Okay! Boss!"

The red-haired personal guard Chabo nodded respectfully. He took a deep breath, lifted his feet and was about to run away.

"That's right! Chabo, do you know how to put out this fire?"

"I know, boss! Black oil fire is not afraid of water. When the brothers saw it for the first time, they were shocked and thought it was something evil. After seeing it a lot, they will get used to it... Isn't it just digging up the soil on the ground, putting it in straw bags and baskets, and burying it to put out the fire!..."

"Okay! Get out of here!..."

"okay!"

The red-haired personal guard Cha Bo moved forward proficiently, rolled his hands, and flipped up lightly like a weed rat in the wasteland, and ran away in a short while. In front of him, the last Temple of the Hidden Serpent was ablaze, and the revered seaside priesthood was reduced to green smoke, like feathers turned into ashes, or like a feathered serpent completely dead. And behind him, teams of Totonak Pioneer Battalions lined up long snakes and finally began to enter the city to clean up Hidden Snake City!

The old seaside snake completely died that night. And the new Mexica Snake has finally extended thousands of miles of coast, occupying every coastal city-state, and opening up the eastward sea~
