Remember [New] in a second! The dead silent room was shrouded in darkness, and all life was scattered. The distant sacred smoke curls around, allowing the soul to go to the kingdom of God. And through the zenith of the quiet room, you can see the dark night, and even the stars are hidden.

"Squeak..."

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

"call..."

Chevali, who had always been like a sculpture, finally let out a low sigh. He stood up and bowed solemnly towards the corpse 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, and it was almost midnight, that a middle-aged personal guard came quickly, ready to serve the high priest to rest.

"The owner..."

The personal guard Ewa stood at the door and called out respectfully. There was silence inside the door, and there was no response. Faint divine smoke drifted out from the crack of the door, without any light, just like the shadow that hit the heart.

"Patriarch?..."

The personal guard Ewa frowned, there seemed to be no candles in the house? He was born as a family warrior of the Holy City, similar to Etalik, Hervé, and Esco. His family has served the royal family of the Holy City for generations, and he can only serve as the side of the high priest after proving the loyalty of several generations. At this moment, his heart trembled, and an ominous premonition arose, so he decisively pushed the door open and entered.

A faint twilight, reflected from the candlelight in the corridor, illuminates the small quiet room. The old high priest lay on the ground, motionless, revealing his silver hair. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, having a long dream, with a smile on his lips.

In front of the high priest was a desk. On it were an empty bowl, two portions of burnt smoke, and an empty jar. On the wall farther away, there was an extinguished candle, silently witnessing everything.

Ewa paused for a few breaths, and then there was a terrified cry!

"Master!"

He slammed onto the ground, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and reached for the high priest's nose. He waited expectantly for a long time, despair gradually appeared on his face, and he finally let out a sharp cry.

"Come on! Come on! Something happened to the high priest! Hurry up!..."

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from all directions. More than 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 panic.

"what happened?!"

Eckart, the head of the guard, hurried over. He was just outside the mansion, inspecting the guard posts and defenses of the warriors. Everyone lived in the city of Cholula, and they had deep disbelief and vigilance towards the nearby Tlaxcalans and the so-called Toltecs. Seeing the scene in front of him, Eckart stood there in a daze. Soon, he widened his eyes and shouted sharply.

"Who? 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 blue with a smile. He must have been poisoned! ... And the burnt magic smoke and the drained potion on the case table were all from Cholula. sent by the priests!"

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

"The high priest was poisoned by the priests of Cholula!"

"ah!"

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

"Priests of Cholula, how dare you poison the High Priest!..."

The evidence is solid, no need to think about it. The high priest came to negotiate and coerced all the elders, but was poisoned by the magic smoke and potion... Eckart, the head of the guard, immediately sorted out everything, and his eyes ignited with flames. From the very beginning, he never trusted anyone in Cholula!

"Damn! Damn! This group of demons who deserve to go to the abyss!..."

"what to do?!"

"Send an envoy to reprimand the priest of Cholula and find out the murderer?"

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

"Hurry up and report to His Highness Shulot in the south! Then send someone to report to 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 a general idea, but they couldn't decide which one to take.

"Dang!...click!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, pulled out the copper ax fiercely, and chopped off a corner of the case table with a slash.

"Shut up! We Mexica do things only with weapons in our hands, so we don't need tongues!...Now, the high priest of the alliance died here, at the hands of the Cholula people Everyone in this city must be buried with him! What kind of **** priest family, what **** priest elders, all of them will be killed, their heads will be beheaded, and they will be sacrificed to the high priest!"

"Dang! Dang!"

Hearing the words of the chief guard, the warriors pulled out their copper axes one after another. They turned the grief and indignation in their hearts into boiling killing intent, and then they shouted fiercely.

"Sacrifice for the high priest! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Lord God bless!"

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

"Ewa, I will give you fifty warriors to send the high priest's... holy body back to the southern camp! Please send your army quickly to attack the city of Cholula to avenge the high priest!"

"Yes, Chief Guard! I will do my best to deliver the high priest's body!"

Eva, the personal guard, bit his lip and swore with his fists.

"Okay! There is still an envoy all the way to the capital..."

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

"I will rush back to the capital immediately and report back to the elders and the high priests."

Shadow Chevali lowered his head slightly and saluted.

The head of the guard, Eckart, nodded back. He never doubted the other party. Because, the other party is the person whom the high priest expressed his trust in.

After arranging the two messengers, he gritted his teeth and looked out the window at the moonless night sky. The night sky was dark, except for star-pointed candles, lit in the temple near the Great Pyramid. And the majestic man-made mountain is not far away, but it is still separated from the inner city.

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

Most of the priests and 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 bustling outer city. Many bonfires were lit in the wooden and stone noble mansions. Between the mansions, there are large areas of thatched huts and thatched sheds. If you set a fire...

"The remaining 150 warriors will follow me!"

With a determined killing intent, Eckart clenched the battle ax in his hand. He was working so hard that veins were showing on his arms.

"After Eva sets off, bring torches with you! In a group of ten, set fires around the outer city to drive the civilians away! When encountering a small group of enemy troops, try to kill them! When encountering a large group of enemies, temporarily avoid them! .The lord **** bless! Let’s go ahead and do it, let the city of Cholula turn into a sea of ​​flames, and avenge the high priest!”

"Bless the lord! Take revenge for the high priest!"

The Mexica warriors present all shouted. Then, everyone stopped hesitating and acted quickly.

Ewa, the personal guard, carried the high priest's body on his back, and carefully tied it to his body. Under the **** of fifty elite warriors, he immediately set off to the southern camp fifty miles away. Afterwards, the shadow Chevali bowed, took a deep look at the Great Pyramid in the shadows, and disappeared into the deep night.

Half a moment later, the chief guard Eckart waved his hand suddenly, and more than a dozen teams of Mexica warriors scattered away. Soon, a blazing flame ~lightnovelpub.net~ ignited in the outer city of Cholula, accompanied by a roar of grief and anger, and resolutely rushed to kill with ferocity!

"Bless the Lord! Avenge the High Priest! Kill!..."

"...Blessing...Revenge!..."

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

"Huh?! What happened?"

The priest leader rubbed his dizzy old eyes and barely got up from the bed. He smoked some top-quality magic smoke, communicated with the gods, and had a half-asleep, half-awake dream. In the dream, he was sitting high on the pyramid of the Great Temple, with the prostrate Mexica mothmen below him. The moth people shouted reverently, praising the name of the new high priest, that is...

"Ugel?!"

Petel recalled this, his face was startled, why is it not 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 shout, which shocked him!

"Bless the Lord God! Avenge the High Priest!...Kill!...Kill!...Kill!"
