Remember [New] in a second! Overcast skies hung over the plateau, and clouds piled up in the east, heralding a changing climate. Under the cloud, a fortress built of white stone stood on a hill tens of meters high, as if it was the embodiment of indestructibility.

The ancient snake-shaped carvings surround the city wall until it reaches the hill of the white snake. But at this moment, the top of the city is full of lifeless energy. Thousands of White Snake Warriors were stationed at the top of the city, but it was so quiet that there was no sound.

The warriors defending the city seemed to have lost both the desire to speak and the ability to speak. Their eyes are numb and empty, their faces are full of death, like living corpses. And the leather armor and battle clothes on them seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and they were covered with strange blood stains and oil stains of unknown origin.

"It's really an exceptionally quiet dead city, a fortress that is about to die."

The king's flag of the black wolf fluttered high and stood on a high platform outside the south city. The high earthen platform is located on the top of the hill, and it was built by tens of thousands of civilians. It is almost flush with the opposite city wall, and it is specially used to observe the situation of the hill city.

At this moment, Berthard was standing on the high platform, squinting his eyes and looking at the extremely sturdy hill city in front of him. This was the first time he had observed one of the last two strongholds of the Tlaxcalans. After a while, he shook his head and said to Shulot beside him.

"Your Highness, this hill city has an excellent terrain and is very strong! In terms of defense alone, among the city-states I have seen, it is second only to the mountain city of Ottopan and the city of Trochtitlan in the lake. However, the defense The Tlaxcala warriors in the city seem to have very low morale! Even without heavy artillery, as long as you don’t spare the casualties, you can defeat them and take the city in one fell swoop!"

Shulot nodded calmly. The city of White Snake Hill was surrounded by excavated soil, and no food was allowed to enter. The siege of the entire city-state has lasted for more than a year, and the city has already run out of ammunition and food, and people feed on it. With no reinforcements outside and no food stored inside, under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the morale of the defenders.

In fact, if it wasn't for the Mexica Alliance, the old enemy who sacrificed to the gods, it is estimated that the Tlaxcala gods who guarded the city would have surrendered long ago.

"Bothard, you are right! There is only one last breath left in this fortress. Now, let us use Thor's mortar to blast away their breath!"

Xiulot smiled, took out the offensive flag, and waved it vigorously.

"Legion attack!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Soon, the drums of attack sounded, and the huge Mexica army formation changed accordingly. The first to attack were 200 shield chariots, driven by hundreds of militiamen, covering 500 elite archers, and slowly approaching the city. After a while, the shield cart pushed up the hill and pushed hard to a distance of a hundred steps from the city. Then, the archers stood still, raised their bodies and drew their longbows, throwing them towards the city of White Snake Hill.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Facing the missiles of the Mexica Legion, the dead city finally came back to life, and sporadic arrows began to fight back, but the number was not many.

Olin, the cloud snake warrior, sat on the head of the city, holding a shield obliquely, watching the Mexica outside the city. Beside him, there were piles of lime jars and rolling logs defending the city, just blocking the other half of his body. The rain of arrows fell from the sky rustlingly, nailed to the wood and the shield, making a "pushing" sound. However, there was no emotion on Olin's dead face.

Such siege trials have happened many times. Olin clearly knew that the feathered arrows thrown by the Mexica archers were not a big threat to him who was wearing leather armor. The terrain and city walls of White Snake Hill City had too much of an advantage, making bows and arrows shot upwards weak.

"If this is the case, the Mexica will not be able to attack today."

The warrior Orin sat on the top of the wall, whispering and praying wearily.

"Cloud Snake God! Hurry up! Destroy everything in the city! I don't want to eat anymore!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The fierce battle drums became more and more urgent, and more arrows were shot. Obviously, the morale of the Mexica offensive is higher than the previous few times.

Next, under Olin's perplexed eyes, ten large "copper beasts" with short and thick heads, shining golden luster, were slowly climbing up the hill under the drag of more than a hundred militiamen. The copper beast is said to be short and thick, but it may not be very short. It is estimated to be only slightly shorter than a person's height, but it is indeed thick. The copper beast's "mouth" was open enough to fit a human head!

"Huh? What are these large 'bronze beasts'? Could it be like the previous ones, which can make a huge thunder and throw small stone bombs?"

Olin thought blankly. He vaguely sensed some danger from the uplifting morale of the Mexica. In the previous siege, he had seen the bombardment of the Sun Condor Cannon. However, on such a steep hillside, facing such a high mound city, the power of that "copper beast" is very limited, and the small stone bullets bombarded can't cause damage to the solid stone wall at all. Only the deafening thunder is really unforgettable!

"The cloud snake priests said that these magical weapons of the Mexica borrowed the power of underground demons! If I die under such weapons, will I fall into the abyss and the kingdom of demons?"

Olin thought wildly, as if he didn't care whether the fortress would fall, or whether he would die. After being besieged to death by the Mexica, he knew that the fall of the city was the inevitable end, and death in battle was justified. After all, so many descendants of gods, so many warriors died in this cruel battle of gods, so why did he escape? And the only thing he cares about is the destination after death, where he can go.

"Haha! Where can you go after death? Olin, you have eaten so many people, eaten other people's wives and daughters, and let others eat your own son. Do you still think that you can go to the cloud snake **** Guangming after you die?" Kingdom of God?"

Thinking about it, Olin couldn't help but laugh. With a smile, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, faintly bloody. Feathered arrows fell from time to time, but they couldn't scare a desperate person. He just pursed his lips and watched the Mexica militiamen methodically fix ten large "copper beasts" on the hill. The location of that position is just behind the large shield vehicles, only a hundred steps away from the head of White Snake City.

"It's coming. I feel it's coming."

Aolin whispered to himself, but he heard Tisat, the lord of the White Snake City, shouting in panic from the top of the city.

"Those golden copper beasts, what are they? What are they! Quickly, call the Cloud Serpent Priest over here! Quickly let them hold ritual prayers!"

The city lord's terrified shouts lingered on the top of the city, but there were not many people responding except his family warriors. Olin was also silent, watching, dozens of Mexica gunners were busy back and forth, filling the huge "beast mouth" with large cans of "black powder~lightnovelpub.net~ When loading, the gunners There were tense expressions on their faces. This is a heavy artillery that has never been seen before, and it is fully loaded with more than ten catties of new-style gunpowder!

In the end, huge stone bullets that were much larger than a human head were slowly stuffed into the "beast's mouth". The "beast's mouth" was then sealed with cotton, and a long lead wire was connected. All the steps were carried out in front of Olin's eyes with a distance of only a hundred steps. It was so complicated and orderly, as if it was held before death. ritual.

"...a stone bomb bigger than a human head? Could it be!"

Olin blinked his eyes, looking at the copper beast that "eat" the stone bullet, his face showing surprise for the first time. At this moment, the ominous premonition came again, which was too strong for people to ignore.

"Cloud Snake God! I beg you, don't let me die so ugly."

The Cloud Snake warrior murmured prayers, fear gradually appearing in his eyes. He watched as the Mexica gunners lit the torches and lit the wires, then quickly covered their ears and squatted down on both sides of the copper beast. After that, there was a moment of dead silence, followed by the roar of thunder, that shocking sound that had never been seen before!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!."
