Remember [New] in a second! As the night fell, a large bonfire was lit; the bamboo flute sounded, accompanied by singing in the distance. The aroma of food wafted far away, and the cheers of warriors filled the camp. The main camp of the Northern Route Army in Mexico stretches for several miles, and there is joy and celebration after victory everywhere!

Avit was wearing a king's suit, sitting cross-legged in the big tent, still holding the divine staff tightly in his hand. He watched the legion commanders congratulate and laugh, and felt relaxed and comfortable. The conquests of the past few months flashed in his heart, and scenes flooded into his mind, as clear as before.

In December, the Mexica Alliance launched a war of gods, and all the troops swore to go to war.

Wearing royal clothes, Avit held the expedition ceremony for the Eastern Expedition on the square in front of the Great Temple. Sitting on the pergola, the elders attended briefly for a moment, accepting the kneeling ceremony of the heads of states. Afterwards, in the cheers of the people in the capital, Avit officially worshiped the ancestors, prayed to the Lord God, and announced the beginning of the Eastern Expedition!

The army marched eastward, shaking the whole country, all the ministries of the world panicked, and the people of Tlaxcala shrank in an all-round way!

The 80,000 North Army, five royal regiments, four city-state regiments, and an elite militia regiment marched northeast one after another. Then, the ten legions gradually spread out, poured into the southeast of Atotonilke State, and fought with the Tlaxcalans one by one.

In this era, due to the limitations of logistics and combat methods, it is absolutely impossible for so many legions to be crowded on the same battlefield, and they must be divided into multiple routes.

In mid-January, the giant bear Stanley led a royal army, an elite militia, a total of 16,000 soldiers, and six siege condor cannons, and first divided his troops to the south. They are responsible for attacking the most dangerous Shensuo in the southern mountains.

Shensuoguan is a key gateway to the western hinterland of the Tlaxcalans, Wesso Chinko State. It occupies a dangerous place in the mountains and separates the north and south mountain roads. It is not a single fortress, but a group of fortresses composed of dozens of fortresses. However, due to the limitation of the terrain, it is impossible to deploy a large army before the gate of the gods. It can only be attacked by thousands of people. The maximum deployment of two legions is the limit.

At the beginning of February, Avit led eight legions and continued eastward. The main army of the North Road attacked the border fortress of the Tlaxcalans, and then captured the ancient city of Hot Springs.

Hot Spring City is located in the east-north of the capital in the middle of the lake, only about two hundred miles away, and the logistics pressure of the army is not great. Fifty or sixty miles due south from here, there are towering mountains extending from east to west. The mountains blocked it, and the army could not pass through it. And Tlaxcala, the most important of the four-state alliance, is just behind the mountains.

To cross the mountains, one must pass through mountain passes. The east-west mountain range extends for more than a hundred miles before a flat mountain pass to the south appears, which can lead to the hinterland of Tlaxcala. There are two rivers converging at the mountain pass, and there is a strong city, which is the northernmost feathered snake city among the four snake cities.

Avit did not rush south, but stayed in Hot Spring City for several days, waiting for the arrival of the various legions. A hundred miles to the north from here are the already unstable Vastecs; three hundred miles to the east are the Totonacs who are on alert and mobilizing.

In mid-February, Avit once again divided his troops into two groups. He sent the reactivated commander Kasar to lead the four city-state legions, a total of 32,000 warriors and militiamen, to the east around Feather Serpent City to suppress the Tlaxcala army in the north.

Kasar has been silent for many years, and finally won the trust of the king and was restored. He became low-key and respectful to the king. Casar had served as a Mexica commander for many years and had fought against the Tlaxcalans several times. He was not only familiar with the command of the army, but also very familiar with the enemy's tactics. At the same time, he is from the Glory family in the capital city, with profound qualifications, able to suppress the heads of various states, and is the best candidate for commander.

Afterwards, Avet personally led the last four royal legions, 32,000 royal warriors, to Weijian City in the north, coercing the southern ministries of Vastec.

Tens of thousands of Mexica legions approached quickly, and all the Vastec ministries were terrified. The king sent envoys all the way to Crow City, the southern ancestral land of the Vastec people, five hundred miles east of the capital in the lake, and more than three hundred miles east of Weijian City.

As the suzerain, Avet asked the leaders of the various southern ministries of Vastec to come to see him and provide some food and grass for the army!

The so-called Crow City is the gathering place of various Vastec tribes facing the sea in the east, Papantla, which means "the place surrounded by crows". This is a densely populated, very rich town. It is located in the lowland jungle, with a humid and hot climate, which is suitable for growing spices, especially delicious vanilla beans!

Hearing the call from the King of Mexica, the chiefs of the various southern tribes of Vastec quarreled and hesitated for days. And the Otter City in the northern ancestral land was fighting with the dog descendants who went south, and was unable to support the southern ministries at all.

Finally, under the persuasion of Papata "Silver Crow", the leader of the southern Huastec people, the leaders finally reached an agreement. With their bodyguards and food, they came to Huauchinango, a tree wall town tens of miles east of Weijian City, to pay homage to the nominal suzerain, the Kingdom of Mexico.

In the spacious wooden house, Avit sat high on the throne, accepting the kneeling of many leaders. He was expressionless, indifferent, and spoke to everyone.

"This is Huachinango, a place with lush trees like walls and beautiful scenery. And in our Nahua language, 'Huachinango' has another meaning, which is 'red snapper' in the great eastern lake. The priests of the capital once told me that red snappers are like tribes along the eastern coast. A male red snapper will surround many female red snappers, forming a considerable number of fish schools. And this male red snapper The fish is the leader of the tribe, and the female snappers are the warriors of the tribe who obey the leader."

Hearing this, the heads of various Vasteks were surprised and somewhat uneasy. They have lived in the lowland jungle for a long time, close to the Great Eastern Lake, and have also eaten delicious red silk fish. When it comes to the habits of this fish, they know much more than the Mexica.

"For a school of red snappers, if the leader male red snapper dies, his 'wives' will swim around sadly around him. And swimming around, one of the strong 'wives' ', it will change from a female to a male! He will lead the entire fish group again, as the leader of the tribe, as the head of the family, leading many 'wives', and start a new life!"

Valley wedge

When Avit said this, he smiled slightly on his face, but showed a godlike chill.

"When the male red snapper dies, his tribe will not avenge him, only a new male red snapper will be born... And if you are dead, the Vastec warriors under him will not avenge you either! Instead, they will elect a new leader to inherit everything from you!"

"Ah! Here, the respected King of Mexica...Here, we are all loyal tribal leaders to you!..."

Hearing the king's words, the southern chiefs of the Vastycs were terrified, fell to their knees, and begged for mercy.

Only "Silver Crow" Papata thought for a while, knelt down respectfully and shouted.

"The supreme King of Mexica, we Silver Crow tribe, are willing to join the army of the Mexica Kingdom and participate in the war against the Tlaxcalans! We are willing to gather tribal warriors, cross the vast rainforest, and harass Toto in the east for you Nak people!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Avit's expression changed. He took a deep look at "Silver Crow" Papata a few times, and then shook his head lightly.

"Eastern Totonak people, if they dare to send troops, they will be wiped out by the alliance army. As for you, the kingdom is indeed useful."

Avit smiled, his expression became gentle, and he said calmly.

"You take your personal guards and stay here, and together with the Mexica Legion, garrison in Tree Wall Town!"

As a result, the Huastec leaders of the southern ministries "voluntarily" stayed here to guard Treewall Town for the Mexica suzerain. Avet left another royal army, while "protecting" the Vastyk chiefs, while suppressing the alliance's north. And the food of the Vastec people also kept paying tribute.

Everything is arranged properly, and the army is about to go south. Before heading south, Avitt summoned "Silver Raven" Papata alone, and had a secret talk for half a day. Afterwards, he bestowed a golden sun talisman and a bag of turquoise from the Kingdom of the Lake as rewards from the "Silver Crow".

At the beginning of March, after Avit stabilized the Huastec people in the north, he finally led three royal legions and marched south from Weijian City. At this time, Kasar had led four city-state legions to a battle with the northern legion behind the Tlaxcalans, beheading a thousand warriors and defeating thousands of militiamen.

The main force of the Tlaxcala army continued to shrink southward and retreated to the core of the Four Snake City. Kasar first controlled the western and northern areas of Feather Serpent City, set up a solid camp, built trebuchets, and blocked the surrounding area of ​​Feather Serpent City. Then, he sent a large number of scouts to detect the enemy's movements and wait for the arrival of the king's main force.

In mid-March, Avit led an army to Feather Serpent City. The seven alliance legions spread out near Feathered Snake City, covering more than ten miles of fields, and completely controlled the west, north and east sides of Feathered Snake City. The only support channel for the Tlaxcalans ~lightnovelpub.net~ is to pass the south side of the river and cross the river to supply the city.

At the end of March, Avit sent an elite royal army, including two battalions of bronze armored warriors and two battalions of longbow warriors, to cross the shallow river in the south, the Atenco River. This army fought with the reinforcements of the Tlaxcalans, and then surrounded the south side of Feathered Serpent City, cutting off the support of the other three snake cities. At this point, Feather Snake City was surrounded by the Mexica army on all sides, cut off supplies, and became an isolated city...

"O gods who behold the mortals,

Please tell me...

Who are the descendants of the gods?

Who are the real warriors?

"

The bonfire is blazing, illuminating countless joyful faces; the night wind is warm, blowing the battle clothes of thousands of warriors. At this moment, tens of thousands of Mexica warriors gathered in the camp. They ate corn tortillas and sang warrior songs, full of conquest and strength!

Arvit straightened up and listened. But for a moment, a sincere smile appeared on his face. The singing is proud and firm, full of vitality. It is like a thriving metasequoia, and like the spine of a Mexica, standing straight and tall without bending at all!
