Chapter 989 The Layout of the Cloud Snake Fortress, the Weight of the Balance Weights

"Witness of the Lord God! According to the law promulgated by His Majesty, the vanguard warrior Quetz beheaded Tepetik, the owner of Cloud Snake City, and was promoted to two ranks in a row. He was promoted to a second-class hereditary nobleman and a battalion commander of a thousand warriors! In addition, an additional reward of 800 acres of land, forty serfs, gold and silver, gems, feather clothes, cotton cloth, iron, and farm tools. Twenty boxes!..."

The hot sun rises into the sky, illuminating the Yunshe Mountain City on the top of the peak. The dark red blood had solidified, and the dead bodies were thrown down the valley. Three days have passed since that bloody night of killing. In the mountain temple at the highest point, the stone carving of the God of Hunting was smashed by the warriors, and his appearance could no longer be seen clearly. The golden statue of Cloud Snake was also pushed to the ground and broken into several pieces, waiting to be recast into a golden statue of the Lord God. And the brand-new emblem of the main god has been erected high in the center of the temple, symbolizing the conquest of the Mexica people and the conquest of the main god's belief!

"Bless the Lord God! The never-falling Cloud Snake Mountain City is finally in the hands of the Kingdom!..."

At this moment, the warrior captain Berthard stood under the emblem of the main god with a solemn expression. In front of him was a row of kingdom warriors kneeling and saluting, receiving rewards for attacking the city at night and destroying old enemies. Under the witness of the Lord God, Berthard held up the marshal's scepter in his hand, and declared reverently and solemnly.

"The five hundred imperial guards who participated in the night raid were all promoted to the first rank of warriors! The five warrior captains were promoted to the first rank of military nobles, and they were awarded fields and slaves according to their military merits!... Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Majesty!"

"Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Majesty!"

The warriors who fell on the ground showed excitement and shouted reverently. And following this announcement, hundreds of guards outside the temple also raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

"Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Majesty! Praise Marshal!..."

Hearing the cheers outside the temple, the warrior commander Berthard smiled quietly and nodded slightly.

In this hearty night attack, the warriors conquered the unfallen natural fortress, but hardly suffered any serious casualties. With the help of Nei Ying, the enemy lost the dangerous terrain and was attacked by the warriors of the kingdom... This group of cloud snake descendants and nobles who have been besieged for three and a half years are like weak coyotes who have been hungry for a long time, easily torn to pieces by brave jaguars!

And with the fall of the ancestral land of the mountain city, all the remaining descendants of the cloud snake god were wiped out. The land of the four kingdoms of the Tlaxcalans completely lost their last resistance! The spiritual destination of the tribes of Tlaxcala was completely destroyed, so they could only submit to the alliance and the rule of the kingdom.

"Lord God bless! The Cloud Snake Mountain City fell, and the Cloud Snake Goddess perish! I have sent envoys to spread the good news to the capital city in the lake, King Qincongcan City, and Jinwan City on the seashore! And when the news spreads, the more than 200,000 Tlaxcala tribes who moved westward to the Kingdom in the Lake will no longer have any luck, and can only fully integrate into the kingdom!..."

"And this long Tlaxcala Eastern Expedition has come to an end here! The kingdom has relocated more than 200,000 Tlaxcala tribes, 50,000 to 60,000 Mystec tribes, and more than 100,000 Totonac tribes...The population of the Lake Kingdom has increased by more than 400,000, mostly young and strong men and women. The population of the two southern counties that mainly host immigrants has more than doubled, far exceeding the heyday of the Tarasco Kingdom..."

Warrior Chief Bertard thought calmly. He has been in charge of farming and population transfer in Water Valley City, and he has a very clear understanding of the benefits brought to the kingdom by this long war of plunder!

"The Southern Army marched all the way, without going through a particularly difficult battle, they plundered a large amount of people and wealth! Not only did they fill in the gaps in the serfs conferred by the Kingdom's military merits, but they also formed more than 300,000 tribal flag teams. A large number of tribal flag teams effectively developed the Apa Plain, the banks of the Talsas River, and the mouth of the Talsas Sea!  …"

"With such sufficient manpower, His Highness's grand infrastructure plan can be launched! Relying on the hundreds of thousands of tribes who have been resettled, the Kingdom has also formed the Long Snake Warrior Legion and recruited thousands of tribal archers..."

Thinking of all this and witnessing the rapid development of the kingdom with his own eyes, the chest of the warrior captain Bertard was filled with boiling excitement. He looked up at the sun at the top of the zenith, wholeheartedly, in order to become His Royal Highness of the sun, prayed in a low voice for a while, and then looked at the cheering warrior captains in front of him again.

"Praise the supreme Lord God! Praise the supreme sun, praise the supreme majesty!...After surrounding it for three and a half years, what do you think of the terrain of Yunshe Mountain City?"

"The lord god bless! The terrain here is really rare in the world, and the danger is like a god's cast!"

"Exactly! There are two large villages in the front and back, controlling two mountains, located at a height of hundreds of thousands of meters. The army is attacking from the bottom up, and the mountain road can only be passed by one person! No matter how many warriors we have, no matter how brave we are, we will not be able to fight at all!..."

"Yes! There are still fields on this mountain, which can harvest food! If there is no internal response to surrender... I am afraid they can guard for another year, or even longer!..."

When mentioning the topography of Yunshe Mountain City, all the generals spoke out one after another, with palpitations and apprehension on their faces. They besieged the city for a long time, but never thought of attacking the city. Because of such a natural danger, in this era, it is by no means a strong attack. Hearing the comments of the generals, the warrior commander Bertard nodded affirmatively, and then he spoke to them.

"Exactly! Such a dangerous fortress is impossible to break through by force... The Cloud Snake Fortress must be in the hands of the kingdom! The kingdom will rebuild a new main god temple here, and arrange for the main god priests, temple guards and kingdom warriors!"

"Ah? We are building temples and stationing troops in such a vital place? The attitude of the alliance..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the generals changed, and there was a little thought on their faces. Seeing the changing expressions of everyone, the warrior captain Bertard looked at it for a moment, and then pointed to the fearless pioneer warrior Quetz who was eager to try.

"Witness of the Lord God! Quetz! You climbed the dangerous point, took the lead in attacking the Qianzhai, and beheaded the owner of Cloud Snake City... No matter your courage, will or luck, you are excellent! The Kingdom wants to be here, stationed with 1,000 warriors and 2,000 militiamen... You are willing to serve as the military commander of Cloud Snake Fortress and guard this place for the kingdom!"

"The Lord God bless! I, Kuetz, am willing! I will definitely defend this place for the kingdom!"

The pioneer warrior Quetz stood up and patted his chest generously. As a guard warrior from Prepecha, he has always only had His Majesty of the kingdom in his eyes, and there is no king of the alliance. So, he raised his head, looked at the warrior captain Berthard, and asked in a deep voice.

"Dear Sacred Eagle Warrior Commander! If people from the alliance want to come up and control this fortress...Can I take the warriors of the kingdom and drive them down, or even shoot them?"

"The Lord God witnesses!"

Hearing this loyal question, the samurai leader Berthard showed satisfaction and smiled quietly.

"Of course! This is the unfallen fortress, and even more the temple of the kingdom! Quetz, I chose you because you want to hold this place in your hands! No matter who comes from the alliance, unless you shed all your blood, don't even think about occupying this place!..."

"Okay! Praise the Lord God! Just give me three thousand soldiers to guard this mountain city... Even if the alliance's 100,000 troops attack the city, and fight for another three and a half years, I will never even think about taking this place!..."

"Okay! Okay! Quetz, the warrior battalion commander of the Cloud Snake Fortress, I will leave it to you! I will fill the mountain city with food and grass, fill enough salt bags, and then send you enough arrows, spears, and rolling stones!..."

The warrior chief Bertard touched his chin, smiled and nodded in agreement. Afterwards, he pondered for a moment, and called the second-level priest of the kingdom from Prepecha, the handsome and handsome Huiniaohua.

"Firebird Flower Priest!"

"Respected Sacred Eagle Warrior Commander, Marshal Berthard!..."

"Witness of the Lord God! You are named after the bright firebird flower, you are as graceful as a flying firebird, and as bright as a magnificent spark! You are the best at dealing with priests and nobles... I will entrust you to take charge of this cloud snake temple located at a critical point! And you will also become the third-level officiant of the Kingdom's fortress!"

"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Highness! Praise you too, Marshal Holy Eagle!"

Hearing this, the second-level priest Huo Niao Hua showed excitement. He knelt down on the ground, saluted respectfully, and responded loudly.

"Witness of the Lord God! I am a priest of the kingdom and a follower of His Majesty! This will be the fortress of the kingdom, and there will also be a temple of the kingdom!"

"Okay! The lord god bears witness! Huo Niao Hua, guard this place for the kingdom!...I will leave you enough gems, gold, silver, and feathered clothes to deal with the nobles of the alliance!...Remember, money is not a problem, if you can move the army, don't move!"

"Follow your orders, Marshal Holy Eagle!..."

"Very good! The Lord God blesses you! Everything has been properly arranged... Cloud Snake Fortress, this unfallen fortress mountain city, is the kingdom's nail in the hinterland of the alliance!..."

The warrior captain Berthard had dark eyes, standing in the highest cloud snake temple, looking at the clouds very close to the sky, as if standing in the clouds. Then he looked down over the fields to the west, and beyond the mountains at the end of the fields. And the league's capital city in the lake, the core Texcoco Lake District, is on the other side of the mountain, but it's not far away.

"The long Eastern Expedition is over!...Soon, His Highness will lead his army back to the capital in the lake to participate in the grand sacrificial ceremony!...Although His Highness is confident and decisive, the risk involved, King Avit's attitude..."

"Lord God bless! I hope that this unfallen Cloud Snake Fortress in the hands of the kingdom...can add a little weight to the heart of God King Avet, on the balance between the alliance and the kingdom!..."

"May God bless the kingdom! May God bless my king!..."
