Remember [New] in a second! The drizzle in late spring is erratic, and the long green grass grows densely. The patrolling warriors wore straw sandals and walked among the green grass. Even the barracks outside the Tree Snake City suddenly felt a bit more springy.

"The situation in the capital...the centralized king...and my wife and son. When the two cities are captured, I will always go back to the capital!..."

Xiulot looked up at the sky, holding a white book from home in his hand. The handwriting of the family letter is beautiful, slightly crooked, and there are simple drawings in the middle. As soon as the letter arrived, it set off a circle of ripples in his cold heart. He raised a gentle smile, held the letter, and walked out of the big tent. Afterwards, the king boarded the watchtower several meters high, looking at the western wilderness and green hills in the distance. Across the mountains, hundreds of miles away, is the long-lost capital city in the lake.

"Spring is here. The barren farmlands and valleys are covered with grass. If there are cows and sheep, they can graze!"

Shulot watched for a moment, then sighed slightly. The area around the City of Four Snakes was once the most prosperous hinterland of the Tlaxcalans, with many villages and endless smoke. Looking around now, there are only continuous military camps, patrolling warriors and militiamen, and open spaces all over the mountains and plains.

The army besieged the city for nearly a year and a half, and the four northern and southern states were wiped out. At this time, the last two mountain fortresses of the Tlaxcalans were like dead trees that had lost all their branches and leaves, standing on a dangerous height, just waiting for the final felling by the Mexica Legion.

A moment later, the head of the guard, Eckart, came in a hurry. The king stuffed the letter into his arms, and his face returned to calm.

"Patriarch, Lord God bless! The messenger brought news that the ten siege mortars cast by the Military Industry Department have already boarded the southern fleet and are on the transported ship!"

"Very good! Lord God bless you!"

Hearing such exciting news, Xiulot also smiled. It will take more than a month to travel upstream along the Tulsas River. Around the end of June, the siege mortars will be transported outside Tree Snake City.

"Before the peak of the rainy season in August, it's time to take down the White Snake Hill City!"

Shulot turned around and looked northeast. White Snake Hill City stands on a hill tens of meters high, lonely, surrounded by a circle of ditches and camps, full of the smell of death. Only in the evening, there will be faint smoke rising from the city of Qiu, representing the descendants of the White Snake and the warriors, who are still reluctantly holding on.

"White Snake Hill City is a ripe fruit. As long as it is attacked a few times, it will fall suddenly when it is picked lightly. As long as the mortar arrives, it is time to launch the final blow!..."

Shulot pondered in his heart, and then looked towards the mountains in the north, which was the direction of Cloud Snake Mountain City. He thought for a while, then looked at the head of the guard, Eckart.

"Eckart, is there any progress in the siege of Cloud Snake Mountain City?"

"Patriarch, in the last month, more than a thousand women, children, old and weak were driven out of Cloud Snake City. There are also hundreds of militiamen who tried to go down the mountain at night and escape into the forest..."

A smile appeared on Eckart's calm face.

"Most of the women, children and militiamen of the Tlaxcalans were captured by the warriors who blocked the mountains! According to the results of the scouts' torture, although the food stocks in Cloud Snake City are kept secret, there should not be much left. Before leaving the mountain city , These ordinary civilians can only eat one meal of pumpkin soup a day. Moreover, there is a lack of salt on the mountain. They are skinny at first, and then swollen all over. Once they fall, they don’t even have the strength to get up..."

"Not necessarily. The treatment of ordinary civilians can't prove anything. Only the lack of food for the warriors is the real food shortage."

Hearing this, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly and shook his head. He thought for a while before ordering calmly.

"Let the scouts and priests carefully identify and screen out the hidden cloud snake nobles! As for ordinary civilians, don't kill too much. They will be raised for a few days and sent to the south of the Shuigu City camp. They will tell about the cloud snake Regarding the situation in the city, the Tlaxcala tribe in the camp should completely stop their extra thoughts!"

"Yes, Patriarch is kind!"

"How many people are left in Yunshe Mountain City?"

"The civilians who escaped couldn't explain clearly. They just said that after some civilians were expelled from the city, the rest were young and strong. According to the scout's rough estimate, from the smoke and the size of the city guards, there are about four to five thousand people."

"Huh? At the beginning of the siege, it is said that more than 10,000 people were gathered in Cloud Snake City. Now, they take the initiative to abandon the old and weak, and there are only half of them left?"

Shulot frowned. In the current situation, the defenders in Cloud Snake City are not too many, but too few. If there were only 4,000 people in the city, relying on the fields and springs of the front and back mountains, I am afraid that the descendants of the cloud snake gods would be able to last much longer than the alliance expected.

"It's time for spring plowing. Have you plowed the fields in Cloud Snake City?"

"...Cultivated. The captives said that as long as pumpkins can be grown, they are all planted. On the mountain behind the cloud snake, there is also a small cornfield."

"Women and children can be released instead of being used as food, and there is enough grain to grow... The grain stored in Cloud Snake City can last at least until next year. Well, the key to the siege is still in the back mountain!"

Xiulot thought for a while, then asked in a deep voice.

"Eckart, is there a way for the tribal warriors to climb the Cloud Snake Mountain and destroy the Tlaxcala people's fields?"

"Patriarch, the mountain at the back of Cloud Snake is hundreds of meters high, and only a few people walk side by side. It's easy to go down the mountain, but if you go up... as long as dozens of people guard the high place and throw stones down, No matter how brave the warrior is, he must fall down the mountain!"

Eckart bowed his head slightly and replied frankly. He tried sending out scouts to attack at night, but only lost a dozen warriors for nothing. In his view, this is a real natural danger, which cannot be overcome by manpower.

"Yeah. I see."

Shulot pursed his lips, his expression unchanged. Facing such a situation, he felt a little helpless for a while. He thought for a while, then spoke sternly.

"Ask the captives carefully! In Cloud Snake City, how many god-born nobles are there now, and how many warriors are there in each? Who are the guards at the back mountain?"

"Dear Patriarch! In Cloud Snake City, apart from the most revered Cloud Snake Goddess, there are about six or seven nobles from various tribes who have fled in, including the Oak Snake Goddess from Oak City. The guards at the back of the mountain are the Cloud Snake Gods. The descendants are the main ones, leading hundreds of cloud snake warriors to guard... By the way, there is also a descendant of the black snake gods, who also control dozens of warriors!"

"The descendant of the cloud snake, the descendant of the oak snake, the descendant of the black snake... eh? Black snake? Is it the black snake Telcott who escaped from the Battle of Water Valley City?"

Xiulot was a little surprised, UU reading www.uukanshu. com looked at the head of the guard, Eckart.

"Black Snake, can you escape like this?"

Hearing this, Eckart showed embarrassment. He had previously guarded the high priest, had not participated in the siege of Water Valley City, and did not know who Telcott was. At this moment, he could only bow his head and salute respectfully.

"... Patriarch, I'm going to interrogate the captive myself!"

"Um."

Xiu Luote nodded lightly, stared at Yuan Kong, and said no more. The pattering spring rain fell sporadically, soaking the green earth, just a good rain to nourish the new seedlings.

After an unknown amount of time, in the sporadic rain in the east, a few messengers covered in mud gradually came. The leading courier, with dyed red hair and a bone amulet, was clearly a veteran Houndborn hunter.

Shulot's eyes were fixed, watching the red-haired hunter, led by his personal guards, go straight into the camp and under the watchtower. Then, the red-haired hunter glanced at the figure of the king, and then fell to his knees in the mud. His face was full of joy, he kowtowed twice, and shouted respectfully.

"The Great Chief Death God who is bigger than the sky! The Lord God blesses the tribe! Ten days ago, Chief Black Wolf led an army and captured the ancient city of Feathered Serpent who dared to resist!"
