Aztec Eternals

v1 Chapter 716: vanished militia

Remember [New] in a second! The clouds were thickening, and the sky was gloomy. The smoke of sulfur was floating in the wind, and the banner of the Lord God was flying over the city. The eagle warrior Barda led thousands of guard warriors, and entered the city in the third batch, almost without any resistance.

"Huh? There should be several thousand militiamen guarding the city. Where did they all die?"

Wearing bronze armor and holding a bronze spear, Balda looked around the city, but saw only deathly silence. It seems that after passing the city wall, there are no longer any defenders, nor the large groups of militias that were common when attacking the city in the past. He didn't stop on his feet, and first led the brigade of guards, walked through the low and uninhabited thatched huts, passed through the desolate and quiet stone houses, and finally came to the first important place, the main warehouse in White Snake City.

There were more than a hundred White Snake Warriors stationed in the main warehouse area, but now they have all dropped their weapons and surrendered to the first batch of pioneers who entered the city. At this moment, nearly two hundred Mexica vanguard warriors, except dozens of people who guarded the captives, were looking for looting in the warehouse, stealing some inconspicuous small objects, such as gems, gold sand, silver grains and other things that are easy to hide. spices.

"Huh?... these bastards..."

Balda frowned, seeing the nervous vanguard warriors, but didn't say anything. The pioneer warriors took the risk to kill the enemy first, and according to private practice, they would also share an extra share of the spoils. As long as the things in these warehouses are not too ugly, the military judges will not dispose of them.

"It's almost done! Seal the warehouse for me! All large pieces of cotton cloth and food must be confiscated!"

The confiscation of large items of property means that small items can be kept privately. The guards showed smiles on their faces, and the vanguard warriors also relaxed and cheered in low voices.

"Witness of the Lord God! Battalion Commander Balda, although there are a lot of property in the warehouse, there is indeed no grain!"

"Um?"

Hearing the report from the warrior captain, Balda walked into the stone warehouse, glanced around, and found that it was so clean that even the rats would cry. He thought about it, turned and left without saying a word.

Soon, a hundred guard warriors stayed here, guarding the warehouse and the prisoners. The main guards of the brigade continued to advance, and within a short while, they arrived at the palace area in the city. In the palace area, there was still the sound of stubborn fighting, but when hundreds of guard warriors came, the last resistance collapsed in an instant under the rain of arrows and sharp axes.

"White Snake personally guarded the warriors and killed more than a hundred people. The god-born nobles captured more than two hundred people... all the god-born nobles in the city are here?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander! Oh, besides here, many of the cloud snake priests in the central cloud snake temple are descended from gods!"

"Well, I see, I will go to the temple later!"

Balda nodded, and strode forward, stepping on the guard's body and blood, into the palace of the city lord. More than two hundred descendants of the last cloud snake **** fell on the ground in despair, weeping and whining. Now that they have fallen into the hands of the alliance, the fate of these descendants of the gods is already doomed.

Balda looked around the prisoner, nodded in satisfaction, and asked again.

"Where is the warehouse in the palace of the city lord?"

"Battalion Commander, stay behind!"

Balda strode non-stop, and under the leadership of a warrior, he came to the private treasury of the Lord White Snake. There are even more gems and jade, gold and silver ornaments, spices and herbs, and feathers and costumes seized in the private treasury. Not only that, but there are more than a dozen bronze weapons and long bows and bronze arrows in the inventory. Balda picked up a bronze axe, inspected it briefly, and cursed secretly.

"Damn it, witness of the Lord God! The symbol of this ax handle must have been produced by a large number of craftsmen in the capital of the alliance! I don't know which nobleman it came from..."

However, there are only a dozen or so smuggled bronze weapons in the warehouse, the quantity is too small to be investigated. Even if it is found out, the nobles of the capital city involved in the incident can still deny that it was captured by the Tlaxcalans. In fact, judging from the outflow of bronze weapons, the alliance's arms control has been done very well. The great nobles in the alliance are still afraid of the king and the high priests, and dare not do too much.

In addition to weapons, there is also food in the warehouse for 500 people for half a year, which should be specially prepared for the descendants of the gods in the mansion. This is also the first time Balda has found food in the city.

"Bless the Lord God! Keep two hundred people! Take care of these god-descended captives and don't allow them to commit suicide! They are all precious gifts to be dedicated to the gods!"

After a while, the imperial guards left another two hundred people, and the main force continued to move forward, killing the cloud snake temple in the center of the city. In the distance, there is a faint flickering fire.

When Balda arrived, the ancient cloud serpent temple was already in the hands of the pioneer warriors. The flame that had just ignited in the temple has been extinguished at this moment. The corpses of more than a hundred temple guards lay down along the pyramid, in a hideous and tragic death. The bright red liquid slowly flowed down from the height of the pyramid, covering the thick and sticky dark red blood clots, as if a new layer of dye had been applied.

"I mean! This smell of blood, this old blood clot! How many people have been sacrificed here?"

Balda sniffed his nose, with a look of displeasure on his face.

On the pyramid of the Cloud Snake Temple, too much blood had solidified, and in the besieged city, there was not enough water to wash it off. Over time, the blood stains solidified into thick clots, exuding a disgusting smell under the hot sun. And when the imperial guards climbed the stone steps of the pyramid, they discovered that the accumulated sticky blood clots could reach their ankles.

"Battalion Commander! Seeing the alliance warriors attacking the city, all the cloud snake priests in the temple have killed themselves!"

After a while, the armored pioneer warrior Quetz rushed down from the high temple and bowed to Balda in return.

"As for the drawing boards and wooden books in the temple, more than half of them were set on fire, and they were just put out! The city lacks oil and cannot light the fire..."

"These cloud snake priests are decisive in their death!"

Balda raised his eyebrows, glanced at the thick bloodstains on the pyramid, and did not choose to climb the tower~lightnovelpub.net~ He pondered for a while, and asked seriously.

"Have you captured the god-born captives? Have you found any hidden warriors or militiamen?"

"Battalion Commander, the brothers did not capture the descendants of the gods...but the Lord God blessed us, we captured dozens of prisoners, just behind the temple pyramid, in the small low temple. They are..."

Speaking of this, the face of the vanguard warrior Quetz showed a bit of hesitation and a bit of disgust that couldn't be concealed.

"Well, what are they?"

"They are the quartermasters and cook servants in the city, responsible for preparing food for the defenders... They may know the whereabouts of the militiamen in the city..."

"Quartermaster? Prepare food? And the whereabouts of the militiamen?"

Hearing this, the eagle warrior Barda lowered his eyes. He vaguely guessed something, his face remained calm, but his voice became low.

"It seems that we should not encounter any more resistance in this dead fortress."

"Then let's go! Go to the small temple and interrogate the quartermaster you captured... You must give His Highness a clear answer!"
