Chapter 530: Flame of Revenge

The dead silent room was shrouded in darkness, expelling all life. The distant divine smoke curls around, allowing the soul to go to the kingdom of God. And through the zenith of the quiet room, one can see the lightless night, even the stars are hidden.

"Squeak"

The wooden door opened gently, and the shadow walked in silently. Through the dim light of the corridor, he quietly looked at the sleeping old man. Then, he took two steps forward, squatted down, and breathed carefully.

"call"

Chevali, who had always had a statuesque face, finally let out a low sigh. He stood up and bowed solemnly to the body of the high priest. Then, he left silently again, taking away the clay pot with a yellow clay lid.

The wooden door closed again, and time flowed in the darkness. It wasn't until the night was dark, almost midnight, that a middle-aged bodyguard came quickly, ready to serve the high priest to rest.

"Master of the house."

The personal guard Eva stood at the door and called out respectfully. There was silence inside the door, and there was no response. A faint divine smoke floated out from the crack in the door, without any light, just like the shadow that hit my heart.

"Master?"

Guard Eva frowned. There seemed to be no candles in the room? He is a family warrior from the Holy City. Similar to Etalik, Elvi, and Esko, his family has served the Holy City royal family for generations. Only after he has proven his loyalty for several generations can he serve as a high priest. At this moment, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and he decisively pushed the door open and entered.

A faint shimmer came from the candlelight in the corridor, illuminating the small quiet room. The old high priest was lying on the ground, motionless, revealing his head of silver hair. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, having a long sweet dream, with a smile on his lips.

In front of the high priest, there is a table. There was an empty bowl, two burned-out sacred smokes, and an empty can on top. Further on the wall, there was an extinguished candle, silently witnessing everything.

Ewa was stunned for a few breaths, and then he let out a panicked scream!

"Master!"

He fell to the ground suddenly, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and touched the tip of the high priest's nose. He waited expectantly for a long time, his face slowly showed despair, and finally he shouted sharply.

"Someone! Come quickly! Something happened to the high priest! Hurry!!"

Chaotic footsteps came from all directions. A dozen family warriors who were personal guards arrived first. When they saw the scene in front of them, their faces showed unbelievable shock and fear.

"what happened?!"

Eckart, the captain of the guard, rushed over. He was just outside the mansion, inspecting the guard posts and defenses of the warriors. Everyone living in the city of Cholula was deeply distrustful and wary of the nearby Tlaxcalans and the so-called Toltecs. Seeing this scene in front of him, Eckardt stood stunned on the spot. Soon, his eyes widened and he shouted sharply.

"Who is it? Who killed the high priest?!"

"That's how it was when I found out. The high priest didn't have any scars on his body, and his face was green and smiling. He must have been poisoned! And on the table were burnt sacred smoke and drunk potions, all of which were Cholula's priests. Sent!”

Eva gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. With tears in his eyes, he complained angrily.

"The high priest was poisoned by Cholula's priests!"

"ah!"

Hearing these words, the eyes of the family warriors instantly became moist. All their honor and disgrace are tied to the Holy City. And to murder the high priest is to murder their elders!

"The priests of Cholula dare to poison the high priest!"

The evidence is conclusive and there is no need to think any more. The high priest came to negotiate and coerced the elders, but was poisoned by the divine smoke and potion. The captain of the guard, Eckart, instantly understood everything, and his eyes ignited with fire. From the beginning, he never trusted anyone in Cholula City!

"Damn it! Damn it! These evil demons should go to the abyss!"

"what to do?!"

"Send an envoy to rebuke the Cholula priests and find out the murderer?"

"Damn it! They are all murderers! Go out and kill all the evil priests here!"

"You must quickly inform His Highness Shulot in the south! Then send someone to inform the capital!"

"No! The most important thing right now is to take the body of the high priest out!"

Many family warriors discussed quickly and quickly came up with an idea, but they couldn't decide which one to follow.

"Dang!.Click!"

Eckart, the captain of the guard, pulled out his copper ax fiercely, gave it a sharp blow, and cut off a corner of the table.

"Shut up! We Mexicans only rely on the weapons in our hands to do things, so there is no need for words! Now, the high priest of the alliance died here, at the hands of the Cholula people! In this city Everyone must be buried with him! Kill all those bullshit priest families and those bullshit priests and elders, and cut off their heads to pay homage to the high priest!"

"Dang! Dang!"

Hearing the words of the captain of the guard, the warriors drew their copper axes one after another. They turned their grief and anger into boiling murderous intent, and then shouted fiercely.

"Sacrifice to the high priest! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"God bless you!"

Eckart, the captain of the guard, shouted sharply, his eyes burning. He made a decision and issued the order as the captain of the guard.

"Ewa, I'll give you fifty warriors to send the high priest's holy body back to the southern camp! Please His Highness Shulot quickly send out legions to attack Cholula City and avenge the high priest!"

"Yes, Captain of the Guard! I will risk my life to deliver the high priest's holy body!"

Guard Ewa bit his lip, clenched his fist and swore.

"Okay! We also need an envoy to go to the capital."

As he spoke, the chief guard Eckart's eyes moved. He looked at the shadow Chevali wearing a black cloak. The other party was said to be the elder's personal guard. He was very trusted by the high priest and was always with him.

"I will rush back to the capital immediately and report to the elder and the high priest group."

The shadow Chevali bowed slightly and saluted.

The chief guard Eckart nodded in return. He had never doubted the other party. Because the other party was the person the high priest showed trust in.

After arranging the two messengers, he gritted his teeth and looked at the moonless night sky outside the window. The night sky was dark, with only the candlelight of stars burning in the temple near the Great Pyramid. And the magnificent man-made mountain was towering not far away, but it was still separated by the inner city.

Eckart narrowed his eyes, looked at the towering inner city wall for a while, and shook his head regretfully.

Most of the priest elders lived in the inner city, but with the number of warriors in his hands, it was definitely difficult to break through. He turned his head again and looked around the prosperous outer city. Many bonfires were lit in the wooden and stone noble mansions. Between the mansions were large huts and straw huts. If a fire was set

"The remaining 150 warriors, follow me!"

Eckart held the battle axe in his hand with a resolute killing intent. He was so strong that even the veins on his arms were exposed.

"After Eva sets out, everyone will bring torches! In groups of ten, set fire everywhere in the outer city and drive civilians to flee! If you encounter a small group of enemy troops, try your best to charge and kill! If you encounter a large group of enemies, temporarily avoid them!...May the Lord bless you! Let's do it, let Cholula City turn into a sea of ​​fire and avenge the high priest!"

"May the Lord bless you! Avenge the high priest!"

The Mexica warriors present shouted together. Then, everyone no longer hesitated and acted quickly.

The personal guard Eva carried the body of the high priest and tied it carefully to his body. Under the escort of fifty elite warriors, he immediately set out and headed for the southern camp fifty miles away. Then, Shadow Chevali saluted, took a deep look at the Great Pyramid in the shadow, and disappeared into the deep night.

Half a minute later, the chief guard Eckart waved his hand suddenly, and more than a dozen teams of Mexica warriors scattered. Soon, a blazing flame ignited in the outer city of Cholula, accompanied by a roar of grief and anger, and a fierce and resolute charge!

"Lord God bless! Avenge the high priest! Kill! "

". Bless and revenge! "

The fierce shouting and killing came from the outer city far away and floated to the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Petel was resting in the side hall, and he suddenly woke up when he heard a vague voice.

"Huh?! What happened?"

The priest leader rubbed his dizzy old eyes and barely got up from the bed. He inhaled some of the best divine smoke, communicated with the gods, and had a beautiful dream of half asleep and half awake. In his dream, he sat high on the pyramid of the Great Temple, and below him were the prostrate Mexica moths. The moths shouted devoutly, praising the name of the new high priest, which was

"Uger?!"

When Petel recalled this, his face was immediately stunned. Why wasn't it his own name? He turned his head and looked out of the city from the high pyramid, and saw the gradually rising flames burning in the south of the outer city! And he listened carefully, and finally heard the content of the shouting, which shocked him!

"Lord God bless! Avenge the high priest! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
