"What? Totonac's fleet?!"

Hearing the call of the scout mountain bird, the old militiaman Chivako was startled suddenly, his heart constricted violently, as if he was suddenly clenched by the big hand of fate. Without hesitation, he gave the order immediately.

"Tavaru, let the warriors put on their armor! The sailors board the longships and prepare to fight! Quick!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Tavaru immediately picked up the conch horn, blew the "Didi" and ran towards the camp. Soon, the peaceful camp became noisy, and there were people running around in a hurry.

Then, Chivako ran to Mera in two steps. He looked at the mouth of the river to the north, and the looming dots were approaching, but he couldn't see them clearly.

"Mosa, you have good eyesight. Quickly! Count for me, how many boats are coming from behind?"

"Big canoes...twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty... and some smaller boats..."

The scout merle narrowed his eyes and counted a hundred large canoes in one breath. Hearing this, the old militiaman's heart was pounding, and a strong sense of crisis came to his heart.

"One hundred big boats? Each big boat can hold six people, so there must be at least..."

"There are at least 600 Totonak fighters! Counting the merchant ships, there will be more! This is prepared... They must know the details of the fleet!"

The god-inspired priest Mekart's expression became serious, and his eyes became dangerous. The entire fleet added up, but only one hundred and sixty people. As for the reliable warriors of the kingdom, there are only forty or so. Six hundred versus one hundred and sixty, such a disparity, this battle... He turned around abruptly, looked at Tikalo, a Mayan businessman with a nervous face, and asked sharply.

"Tikalo, your merchant ship has brought enemies! You actually betrayed the kingdom and informed the Totonacs?!"

"No! I didn't! Impossible!"

The Mayan businessman Tikalo clenched his fists tightly, with unconcealable fear and uncontrollable anger on his face. go out

"The descendants of the family are here! How could I, disregarding their safety, attract the army of the Totonacs?"

"That is, the merchant fleet leaked its whereabouts, and a traitor appeared!"

"This...I...they..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo was at a loss, with sweat dripping from his brow. Concern leads to confusion, even if he is as cunning as he is, facing such a critical moment, he is speechless for a while. He could only advance and retreat at a loss, muttering.

"Impossible...It's impossible for them to betray...How is it possible?..."

"Tikalo! The kingdom's warriors are preparing for battle, and the sailors are boarding. They need time!"

The god-inspired priest Mekhat strode forward and grabbed Tikalo by the collar. His eyes were sharp, and he spoke repeatedly. go out

"You take two Puton warriors and go forward in a small boat! I don't care what you do, I will delay this fleet for a while!"

"Huh? Go...go to the fleet?...Delay time?"

Hearing this, Ticaro trembled all over. He knows what that means. However, when the words of refusal came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

"Yes! Try to delay and prove your innocence! For the fleet, and for...them."

As he said that, Mecate, the god-inspired priest, tilted his head and glanced at the two children of the Mayan royal family. Ten-year-old Tilan pursed her lips, clutching a stone spear that was taller than his head. And the five-year-old Tidan was ignorant, grabbing his brother's clothes, not knowing what happened.

"Grandfather? Is the bad guy here?..."

"I..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo trembled violently, and his face paled instantly. At the last moment, he was full of hope, looking at his merchant ship. But at this moment, the shadow of death suddenly appeared in his heart. It was the same boat, but in just a quarter of an hour, it turned into a big mouth opened by a monster, and it swallowed its former owner with an evil smile.

"Time is running out!"

"I go!"

Ticaro turned around, smiled bitterly, and glanced at the two children behind him. There was a moment of warmth in his smile. Afterwards, he clenched his teeth, without saying a word, boarded a small boat, and approached the approaching Totonac fleet head-on.

The old militia Chihuaco was silent, watching what happened. He didn't stop Tikalo from leaving, but quickly put on the leather armor, picked up the familiar bronze spear, and watched the boat drift away. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind, and there was no time to think about them one by one. He could only make a decision in an instant according to his keen instinct!

A moment later, Chivaco's voice was low, like a dirt dog about to bite, and he barked commands from his chest.

"Everyone! Take up arms! Board the longboat and defend on the deck!...A quarter of an hour, get ready, and break out at the mouth of the sea!...Remember, don't stop! Raise the sails when you leave the sea mouth, and keep going Go to the depths of the sea in the northwest until you get rid of the Totonac!"

"Yes! Yes! Boss!"

The camp by the river was in disarray, and all the baggage was abandoned. The sailors hauled the longboat out of the reeds and set up the long oars. The warriors put on armor and took bows, and boarded the sides of the long boat. The old militiamen personally took a few children and were the first to board the flagship. Then, straightening his back, he yelled at Dark Snake and Didi.

"You two big ones, take the two small ones and enter the bottom warehouse for me! No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to come out without my order!"

"Father! We are all fighters, we can come out and fight..."

"Go away! This is an order!"

Everyone in the kingdom hurriedly boarded the boat, and shields were set up on both sides of the long boat. At the forefront, the Mayan merchant Tikalo had already arrived in front of the fleet in a small boat. When we got here, the boats of the Totonak people were already clearly visible.

Hundreds of Totonak warriors were holding spears and carrying spears and hunting bows, standing densely on the small boat. Like a shoal of man-eating fish, they blocked the narrow outlet to the sea with a clear goal and came to the camp not far away. go out

"call!..."

Mayan merchant Tikalo took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. Afterwards, he watched the Totonak warship surrounded from all sides, and shouted loudly towards the familiar Mayan galley and the unfamiliar warrior faces on board. His voice was loud and slightly trembling, but it was in extremely clear Totonac.

"I am the owner of this merchant ship! I am the leader of the Mayan caravan! I am acquainted with the priest and elder of the Holy City, Tezomok! I am protected by the chieftain of Hidden Snake City, Kwachakal!...I want Meet your leader! . . . "

"The city-state protects the merchants. This is the will of the gods, and it is also the order of the priesthood!...Pious Totonac warriors, why did you occupy my ship and come to the camp of the merchant group?"

Hearing Ticaro's shouting and hearing the two noble names "Tezzomok" and "Kwachacoal", the menacing Totonak warriors stopped immediately, and the advancing fleet also stopped. down. Facing the confident Mayan businessman in front of them, the warriors were momentarily undecided. After all, the order they received was to exterminate a hidden Mexica enemy, not to plunder the Mayan business group.

"Um?"

On the Mayan paddleboat, Feathered Serpent Priest Papp frowned. He stared at the unarmed Mayan merchant in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice. go out

"Chief Kwachacoal, has died in battle at the city of Jinwan. Priest Elder Tezuzomok is supervising the battle at the front-line stone carving city... Sun God witnesses! Brave Maya, your crew has recruited everything! Yes Who gave you the courage to shield the wicked fleet of the Mexica?"

"I am the head of the Mayan merchant group who was sheltered by the city-state! As for the Mexica fleet? I have never heard of it..."

The Mayan trader Tikalo held his head high, still answering loudly. Feathered Serpent Priest Papp has narrowed his eyes and raised the priest's scepter in his hand~lightnovelpub.net~ because he has clearly seen that behind the chaotic camp, there are four Mexica-style longships, looming from the reeds.

"In the name of the Sun God! Take him down! He is the minion of the Mexica!"

The priest's order was issued, and the Totonak warriors no longer hesitated. They rushed forward, stabbed the fellow Puton warriors, and cut their throats. Then, a vigorous tribal warrior swung a stone hammer and knocked down the Mayan merchant Tikalo with one blow, rolling and screaming on the boat.

"I **** this Mayan! I want to take him back and torture him alone!"

Priest Papu ordered in a low voice, and the headman Chu Chute nodded in agreement. The Feathered Serpent Priest had told him a long time ago that he had to secretly find out the situation in the land of Maya and find a way out for everyone. Then, the Feathered Serpent Priest, who had regained his position, waved his scepter and pointed at the four longships beside the camp. go out

"Holy sun god, is watching us! Heroic Hidden Serpent warriors! It's time to show your bravery in front of the evil and brutal Aztecs!"

"Go! Destroy these evil enemies who hide and threaten our homeland! Take their longships and avenge the Aztecs!"

"Praise the Sun God! Take revenge on the Aztecs!"

The Totonac warriors shouted with ferocious killing intent on their faces. They occupied the only estuary from which they could escape, and quadrupled their forces to outnumber the enemy. In such an advantaged battle, the courage of the tribal fighters was aroused to the greatest extent.

"Oh! Kill! Kill them!"

More than 600 tribal warriors howled repeatedly, like hounds on the sea, and rushed to the south fiercely. And the longboats of the four kingdoms rowed their oars at full speed and rushed towards the mouth of the river in the north. In less than a quarter of an hour, the fleets of the two sides maintained the maximum speed and slammed into each other furiously!
