Chapter 988 The Fall of the Mountain City, the Demise of the Cloud Snake!
The night was dark and dark, with dark clouds covering the sky. The drizzle came and went, and the fire flickered. This intersection of light and shadow and rainy night inexplicably reminds people of sacrifice and death.
The old militiaman Chihuaco stood at the height of the Cloud Snake's rear village, leading the Dark Snake with a dark face. The two watched silently, watching those familiar and vague figures walking through the rope-board cableway connecting the two villages. The two couldn't hear any sound, only saw those familiar figures carrying weapons, disappearing for a while and then reappearing. Afterwards, the elite guards of the kingdom, like a jaguar before hunting, moved forward silently. They arrived at the opposite side one by one along the narrow path that was as wide as one person. And when the jaguars symbolizing death gather enough numbers, the truly merciless killing begins!
"Bless the Lord God! The imperial guards entered the front village, and the Black Snake did a great job! ... This last cloud snake front village is about to fall completely tonight! ... Haha! After tonight, the last resistance of the Tlaxcalans will no longer exist!"
Priest Mecate showed excitement, walked to the old militiaman Chihuaco, and said with a smile.
"The two thousand cloud snake priests and noble warriors on the opposite side are the backbone of the 1.2 million Tlaxcalans who fled and gathered here from the four kingdoms. They are the last god enemies of the resistance alliance!..."
"Witness of the Lord God! The warrior captain Bertard has issued an order... For such a stubborn and stubborn enemy, we must wipe out the roots and leave no one behind!..."
"And the black snake Telcott who surrendered will also have blood on his hands. In the oldest temple of the cloud snake, he sacrificed to the descendant of the cloud snake, spurned the statue of the cloud snake, betrayed the ancestors of the tribe, and finally took a blood oath to convert...to show his true determination to be loyal to the alliance kingdom and convert to the Supreme God!"
"Lord God! No one will stay... The command of the warrior commander... The conversion of the black snake..."
Hearing this, the old militiaman's eyes flickered, and he nodded silently. Feeling the trembling of the young Dark Snake beside him, he squeezed the opponent's palm firmly and comforted him softly.
"Son...don't worry! Since the Kingdom has given your father the opportunity to convert, no matter how harsh the conditions are, even if he has to personally sacrifice his clansmen...he is really ready to fulfill his promise and let you survive..."
Hearing these words, the young Dark Snake trembled again for a moment, and then managed to calm down. He raised his head slightly, with hope in his eyes, looking at the omnipotent old man in his heart.
"Father Qi!...The descendants of the cloud snake gods in Qianzhai...will they all die?..."
Hearing this, the old militiaman Chihuaco lowered his eyes and did not answer. After a long time, he let out a soft "hmm" from his nose.
"Well... this is the price..."
"Huh? The price?..."
"Yes. This is the price of the gods, from the cloud snake god to the main god..."
The long wind blows, bringing the smell of rain and blood. The old militia Chihuako took a deep breath, opened his mouth quietly, and his eyes became vicissitudes.
"Witness of the Lord God! For the replacement of the gods... These last and most descendants of the cloud snake gods can only die!... And they die, and the Tlaxcalans and the Mexica can merge into one... Just like the Prepecha people and the Mexica people..."
"But... but... the Lord God... the Lord God of Light..."
The young Dark Snake lowered his head, and there was a faint sparkle in his eyes. A strong sense of guilt hit his heart. In his cognition, it was because of him that his father Hei Snake opened the gate of the village and led the Mexica army into the city... At this moment, he didn't know what to say, but he only knew that what Papa Qi said might be right. After a long time, he raised his head again and asked in prayer.
"Supreme Lord God, send down the merciful light! Daddy Qi, if all the tribes in the world believe in the Supreme Lord God!...Will this kind of fighting stop?"
"If the faith of the world is unified..."
The old militiaman Chivako had deep eyes, pondered for a while, and shook his head gently.
"No! Dark Snake, fighting and war are the reality of this world. It is a never-ending tide...Even if the beliefs of all parts of the world are unified, this kind of war will continue...From the center of the world, it flocks to the northern continent, southern continent, and sea islands on the edge!..."
"Of course, by that time, the Tlaxcalans and the Mexica will become one, and there will be no more fights..."
"Ah!...Papa Qi...the world is so big, could it be...is there no place where there is no fighting, but only peace and beauty?"
Hearing Dark Snake's trembling question, the old militiaman Chivako was silent for a long time, and his eyes became hollow. Looking at the dark night in the east, he thought of the remote islands in the sea, and the Taino people who had plenty of food, were simple and kind, sang and celebrated, and didn't know what fighting was.
"Lord God bless! Such a place naturally exists. It's on the Snake Island in the East China Sea, those simple Taino villages...Dark Snake, I've been there, and you've been there too. We all remember it! It's good to remember it..."
"It's just that, according to the prophecy of God's revelation, I don't know how long such peace can last... After all, peaceful tribes are always so vulnerable in front of fighting tribes and even more terrifying white-skinned prophecies..."
"God bless! The Taínos of Cuba...beautiful and fragile peace..."
The young Dark Snake stood there in a daze for a moment, recalling the tropical islands in his memory, those peaceful Taino villages and tribes, his face could not help showing longing. Will the northern continent where my father is going to be the same peaceful and beautiful? …
However, when he came back to his senses and looked at the deep night in front of him, he seemed to see blood flowing everywhere under the night again. In the bloody night, there were many sporadic flames flashing, the fanatical shouts of the guard warriors, and the dying wailing of the descendants of the cloud snake gods!
"The lord god blesses! He is watching us! This is the final battle of the gods, to destroy the belief of the cloud snake!...Kill! Kill these evil descendants of the cloud snake! No one will be left behind!..."
"Supreme Cloud Snake! I beg you! Give me the divine power in the clouds, rain down thunder and flames, and destroy these vicious Mexica, destroy these shameless traitors!...Ah! Ah! Uh!..."
Fighting and shouting, hurried and intermittent in the night wind, like singing ups and downs, singing an elegy of destruction and death. The young Dark Snake listened blankly, and really heard the last elegy of the Cloud Snake priests, which was in Tlaxcalanahua, which is almost the same as Mexica. It's just that at this moment, the singing of the priests is even more desolate and ancient, and it still has the smell of death and withering during the disaster of the wilderness.
"Ahahaha!...The supreme cloud snake, fly on the high mountain! The heroic spirit of the ancestors, stay in the high clouds!...Dark shadows enveloped the cloud mountain, and the inherited tribes will be destroyed tonight. All the oldest and holy are destined to perish in fate. This is the end of the era, the last time, and there is no turning back!..."
"Ahahaha!...The ruthless divine disaster, the Mexica who turned into a volcano! The brave god of hunting was also swallowed by the volcano's monster!...The unfallen cloud snake fortress, he walked to the end of the road of death. And the towering and continuous mountains will also fall into the evil mouth of the mother of the earth..."
"Ahahaha!...The death of the tribe is like a shadow, and the soul of the tribe has fallen into the black abyss. The gods are dead! The gods are far away!...This is the end of despair! It is the time when the ancient heart is broken..."
"Ahahaha!...Let us light the flames and follow the vanished gods! Let our souls turn into flames and fly into the sky of the kingdom of God!...Fly, let's go, go to the kingdom of God! Hahahaha!...Ah!!!..."
The elegy that floats is getting louder and louder, gradually turning from desolation to madness! Then, the flames of the canopy suddenly ignited from the cloud snake temple at the highest point of Qianzhai, and in the drizzle, the blue flames of the dead were dyed!
"The stone of the dead, the blue fire of death, the passage leading to the kingdom of God! Ah!..."
The miserable howling and shouting burned together with the blue flame. It's just that this sudden flame obviously lacks fuel and has no power to continue. It burst and burned for a while, but it couldn't ignite the temple that was soaked in the rainy season, but gradually became smaller...
"Siege for too long... there is no fuel in the holy temple..."
The young Dark Snake murmured, with big tears rolling down his eyes. He didn't know why he was crying, it was obvious that he was already on the side of the victor, and he also had the title and reward of the kingdom. He just wept silently, watching the brigade of imperial guards put out the flames and poured into the last cloud snake temple. Then, within a dozen or so breaths, a shout of victory pierced through the sky with uncontrollable ecstasy!
"Haha! Lord God bless! Lord God bless!!..."
"I! The guard of the kingdom, the vanguard warrior Quetz! I sacrificed the most sacred sacrifice and cut off the head of the cloud snake city lord Tepetic!! Tepetic's head!!..."
"Hahaha! Witnessed by the Lord God! The descendant of the cloud snake in Tlaxcala died at this very moment!!..."
