Chapter 987 The Long Rainy Night, the Cloud Snake with Its Head Down
The mountain city is high and dangerous, and the rainy night is dark and dark. The black snake Telcott stood expressionlessly on the wall of the back village of the mountain city, looking at the invisible 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, then lowered his head silently.
After that, dozens of Black Snake guards and more than a hundred Cloud Snake warriors gathered by the wall of the village, waiting in silence while drenched in the rain. Under the light of the few fires, many people were starving, sallow and emaciated, withered and out of shape. Some people were so short of salt that they were so swollen that they couldn't stand upright; there were still people with a deathly expression, and the weapon in their hand was dripping with blood, and they didn't know whose blood it was...
At this moment, everyone was silent together, with their heads bowed, as if they were unwilling to face and had to face everything that came next, leaving life and death in their hands.
On this quiet rainy night, they took that step... From then on, everyone betrayed the inherited god of hunting, also betrayed the descendants of the cloud snake god in the former village, and betrayed the perseverance of the past three and a half years! ...However, they don't actually have a choice...their choice is just to try their best to survive in the long night of hopelessness, and to live to see the dawn.
It was raining at night, and the guard warriors of the brigade wore black cloaks and hid a few torches, and walked up the mountain road that was only one person wide. They walked forward in a low voice in the rainy night, like a truly chilling "black snake", to catch the long-awaited prey!
On nights like this, only the most organized Imperial Guard warriors can organize climbing and siege. And in such an extremely dangerous terrain, if encountering the enemy's obstruction, rolling stones and fallen trees... Only the elite guards can have the last chance of capturing the city with the help of the inner response!
Fortunately, the expected brutal siege battle did not happen. The gate of the village was opened, and the guarding Cloud Snake warriors lowered their heads and tied their hands. Everything went so smoothly! It was like waiting for a long time, and finally the fruit fell from the tree, and the fruit fell from the tree, splashing red juice, leaving the deepest black and red.
Soon, dozens of imperial guard warriors rushed into the back village and immediately took control of the area around the gate. Black snake Telcott led many defenders, dropped the weapons in his hands, and knelt down in front of the kingdom's legion!
"Praise the Lord God! We dedicate the mountain city that never falls to the Supreme Lord God and Your Highness..."
After a while, more and more imperial guards poured into the back village, and the noise gradually rose, but there was no shout of fighting or fighting. And after two or three quarters of planting, the Cloud Snake Houzhai built on the flat top of the hill, together with the surrounding 2,000 acres of barren mountain fields, completely fell under the control of the kingdom!
"Blessed by the Lord God! Respected Black Snake God descendant Telcott, you finally made the right choice!"
Priest Mecate, with a smile on his face, walked out of the ranks of Imperial Guard warriors together with Chivako, an old militiaman. He climbed up the wall of the village, looked at the large fields inside and outside the back village, and looked at the front village not far away on another adjacent hill. He couldn't hide the excitement and excitement on his face.
"Haha! Without the mountains and fields in the back village, even if they can't attack the front village of Cloud Snake tonight, they can't hold on any longer!..."
"Hahaha! This last Cloud Snake Mountain City, this ancient fortress that never falls, has finally fallen into the hands of the Kingdom!..."
Hearing Priest Mecate's words, Black Snake Telcott bowed his head deeply, and silently bowed his waist. He quietly pulled down the sleeve of Dark Snake. The skinny Dark Snake pursed his lips, walked to the line of guards, lowered his head to the old militiaman Chivaco, and called out in a low voice.
"Papa Qi!..."
"Hey! Dark Snake, you have been alone in the village for so long...it's really... not easy!..."
Looking at the skinny, once again malnourished Dark Snake, the old militiaman Chivaco sighed helplessly. He kindly stretched out his hand, stroked Dark Snake's hair, glanced at Black Snake, and said as promised.
"Witness of the Lord God! Don't worry! The kingdom's warriors have entered the village, and the light of the Lord God has arrived... Everything will end! Everything will change for the better! Your Highness is truly merciful..."
"Praise the Lord God of Light! Praise Your Highness Merciful!"
After hearing this conversation, Black Snake Telcott felt a little settled. Still bowing his head, he begged Priest Mecate in a deep voice.
"Respected Kingdom Envoy! Please... don't forget the promise of His Royal Highness Death God... what to do after we surrender..."
Hearing this, Priest Mecate raised his brows with a faint smile on his face. He watched the black snake bowing his head respectfully, and said calmly.
"Black Snake Goddess, don't worry! You donated the Cloud Snake Houzhai, His Highness's promise to keep the quota of 800 people, and the fiefdom of the Northern Continent. Naturally, it will definitely be fulfilled! In fact, if there is no food and salt that His Highness let go of in the village before... Your Houzhai, I am afraid that another batch will die, and you can't even make up 800 people!..."
Hearing this, the black snake Telcott lowered his eyes, silently speechless. This long battle of gods was so cruel, beyond the imagination of all Tlaxcala nobles!
The Mexica swept across the four states and sacrificed tens of thousands of gods, nobles, priests, chiefs and warriors! Then, the army surrounded Yunshe Mountain City for three and a half years without any sign of giving up. This long siege forcibly encircled several villages in Cloud Snake City and 12,000 to 3,000 tribes, until only the front and back villages remained, with a total of less than 3,000 people!
Lack of supplies, lack of salt and food. Almost all the old, weak, women and children of various tribes died, and the weak and strong were also forced to go down the mountain to attack the blockade of the Mexica, and finally died or surrendered. And after the siege that was so frightening that it wiped out all belief and hope, the population of Cloud Snake Houzhai at this time is indeed only more than 800 people...
"The Lord God controls fate, and also controls all the tribes in the world!... The old Cloud Snake God is dead. And the descendants of the Cloud Snake God of all tribes are destined to be sacrificed and perish...Dear Kingdom Envoy, I sincerely thank the Lord God for his kindness, and His Highness for his generosity, for letting us humble mountain remnants go!..."
"Well, the Lord God blesses you! Black Snake Goddess, if you understand the benevolence of the Lord God and His Highness, you have found a bright path for your own future..."
Hearing what the black snake Telcott said, Priest Mecate nodded affirmatively. Since the other party is so knowledgeable and has a son like Dark Snake, he will naturally not hesitate to mention a few more words.
"Telcott, please remember! You have the blood of the Cloud Snake God flowing through your body. Although His Highness can tolerate you, the rest of the Alliance, including the God King of the Alliance, may not be able to tolerate you..."
"Therefore, for you, the most important thing is to convert to the Lord God! You must show enough piety, even better than other believers!...Similarly, you must keep a low profile. In terms of clothing, traditions and ceremonies, you must be cautious and approach the Mexica nobles..."
"Besides these, the most important task right now..."
Priest Mecate smiled, pointed at the Qianzhai 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 looks like a hanging cloud snake, like a hanging natural barrier, with a dark light on the verge of death.
"Respected Black Snake Goddess Telkot! Please also send your personal guards to walk through the rope and find a way to control the sentry at the other end...Lead the kingdom's brave guards to attack the last cloud snake front!...You know, the supreme Lord God has been waiting for too long to taste the most noble and delicious Cloud Snake Lord Tepetic, as well as the last surviving Cloud Snake nobles..."
"The night is long and rainy, and it's still early! ... When the sun rises tomorrow, this long siege will really end. And if the banner of the main god can be erected on the ancient cloud snake temple, we can see the first ray of dawn in the east..."
"The lord god bless you! Then we can send envoys to report the victory to His Highness! And your future will also shine a bright light because of this!..."
