Oh, and what else is going on? Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.

But judging from the task prompts for the unsealing of the Dead Sea, and the fact that he summoned Satan's clone to relieve the catastrophe of the destruction of the world, the gods of this world are probably not in a very good state.

A god of necromancy is so weak that he was defeated in the Soul Battlefield, the goddess of Ageless Springs Island has not returned for a long time, the gods of the Deep Sea City are also in a state of sleep, and the other gods are probably in a similar situation.

"They won't be able to interfere with the mortal world for a long time, so you don't need to worry." He pretended.

Sitara was a little shocked, but he didn't dare to ask again, it didn't do any good to know too much about the gods, as long as he knew that the world would not become a battlefield for the war of the gods.

"Yes, my lord. I'll go back to Tenochtitlan. He saluted and hurried on the way back.

Successfully fooled this Quetzalcoatl priest heir, Liu Zheng was still a little proud.

Of course, without the confidence brought by absolute strength, he would not be able to obtain the wise Quetzalcoatl priest heir.

The indigenous priests of this world are really good at all kinds of spells, not witch doctors who only pretend to be gods and ghosts in the real world.

Only Liu Zheng's attitude of not caring whether they believe that they are the Quetzalcoatl God can make them lie to themselves.

When Liu Zheng returned to the Baini tribe, he sent people to inform the other tribes of the news that the two tribes had been punished, and asked them to bring troops over.

Perhaps it was the news of the punishment of the Viper Tribe and the Blackwater Tribe that frightened them, and the 18 Makuri and 21 tribes that had not been notified before rushed over with warriors.

The 39 tribes had a total of about 18,000 warriors, which was insignificant compared to the Aztecs' strength of more than 500,000.

But the morale of the tribes is very high, and with a living god as the leader, they dare to attack even in the face of a million-strong army.

This is the power of countless years of religious brainwashing, and faith is always strong, whether ignorant or advanced.

"If the royal family comes, you tell them to go directly to the Zutara Valley." Liu Zheng instructed the people left behind by the Baini tribe.

Sitara's "Pair in the Woods" still makes sense, he plans to pull the Tlaxcalans into the coalition army first, and then launch a general attack directly.

The Zothala Valley was so close to the Aztec Empire that the farmland of Tlaxcala could be seen almost from the top of the Grand Temple of Tenochtitlan.

Such a close distance caused the Tlaxcalas to suffer from the war with the Aztecs, which never stopped from the day the Aztecs were founded.

After Montezuma II completely destroyed the kingdom of Ramakat, he planned to settle this old enemy once and for all, so he sent a heavy army to surround the Zutara Valley and build fortifications everywhere, making the Tlaxcala people miserable.

The people of the White Clay tribe heard a Tlaxcala merchant say angrily, "We can't eat salt, we don't dare to go out to find salt, let alone cotton, and now we have only a few cotton clothes, because as long as our people go out to find these things, few people will survive." The vicious Aztecs and their allies either killed our men or made them slaves to be sacrificed alive. ”

The Tlaxcala merchant came twice, and never again, probably because he was killed or captured by the Aztecs.

Liu Zheng led the Ramakat coalition army all the way north, and naturally encountered the camp built by the Aztecs.

But he didn't care about these camps, as long as he didn't take the initiative to attack, he just ignored them.

The Aztecs stationed in those camps did not know the path of this coalition army, and did not dare to attack rashly, but sent to inform the army besieging the Zutara Valley head-on.

The speed of the messengers must have been faster than the marching army, so when Liu Zheng arrived at the entrance to the Zutara Valley, he saw a whole Aztec army ready for battle.

40,000 Aztec warriors in cotton or leather armor stood by as they watched the defeat of their former men.

The Jaguar Warriors and Eagle Warriors at the front of the formation were very excited, and the Tlaxcalas had been unable to shrink back lately, which had left them with less chance of gaining success.

Becoming an elite warrior stepped into the threshold of the upper echelons, but he had to continue to accumulate military exploits in order to become a real nobleman.

The general of this large army quickly walked out and shouted at Liu Zheng: "I am Hamale, the commander of Azachalko and the patriarch of the Bloody Hand Clan, and the commander on the other side will report your identity." ”

Emil Ludwig said, "Prussia is not a country with an army, but an army with a state", and this complaint can also be applied to the Aztecs.

The basic administrative unit of the Aztec Empire was the community "Calpoli" (meaning "big house"), which had both administrative and military functions and could extract manpower to the maximum.

Each of Calpoli roughly corresponds to the original clan when it first entered the Central Valley, with a leader as the representative and commander.

Of the 20 neighborhoods in Tenochtilan, the four most important are Quipopan, Azacquarko, Moyotra and Sokipan, which existed when the city was founded.

Each community has its own identity and commander, forming separate units, which may be incorporated into larger legions in large-scale combat, but will never be split.

The most basic unit of the legion is a squad of 20 men, on which are detachments of 200, 400, 800 men, up to the 8,000-man "Hikipili". In the original war against Ramacat, the Aztecs actually brought in 30 hikipili, or 240,000 people.

In warfare, the Aztec army generally adopted the model of one veteran with four or five new recruits, and at first they did not participate directly in the battle, but watched and studied from the sidelines, used long-handled weapons to assist, helped to guard prisoners, and so on

Of course, recruits still receive a period of education before joining the legion.

Before the age of 15, the sons of commoners are sent to the "youth huts" of the community school, where they are handed over to Texcatlipoca to perform a great deal of manual labor and military training under the watchful eye of this powerful deity.

They are expected to be resilient and resolute soldiers, and if they perform well enough, they will sometimes advance into battle as porters of equipment and provisions.

The children of the nobility would enter the "blood hut" attached to the temple (theoretically before the age of 15, but often much earlier) and be groomed as future monks under the watchful eye of Quetzalcoatl.

In addition to the military training, they also studied religion, astrology, calendar, law, rhetoric, poetry, etc., similar to the six arts of gentlemen in ancient China.

Once they have been promoted to elite warriors or leaders, they will enter the temple of the god of war, Vizilopochtli, to further study and learn what they need to know as commanders.

Under this education, the Aztecs had a strong militant and martial spirit, and they regarded it as a shame to live their lives in peace, and only to wither on the battlefield like flowers was the true meaning of life.

"What is a human life?"

"It's as withered and rotten as a weed"

"Still withering and falling like flowers"

"Ah, this earthly glory"

"Will one day pass away with the rain?"

"No matter how brilliant the feats"

"Will one day return to dust?"

"But at least as gorgeous as flowers"

"But at least the war song must be with you all the time"

"Oh, where is my heart going?"

"Back to my sweetheart"

"Where are my feet going?"

"Only in the direction of the enemy"

This long-standing poem is the epitome of the values and spiritual world of the Aztecs.

"Didn't you learn from me? Didn't you sacrifice me with flowers and butterflies? Didn't you call my name in times of hunger and calamity? Now that I have returned from the sea, have you forgotten my honorable name? Liu Zheng said as he took off his mask.

Hamaré's eyes widened when he heard his words, and he was even more shocked when he saw his face as white as jade.

"You, you are—" He seemed to understand, but he couldn't believe his judgment and said tremblingly.

"I am one and ten thousand, I am forever, I am eternal." Liu Zheng was plagiarizing the Bible as he walked in the direction of Hamale.

An invisible majesty enveloped him, causing the jaguar warriors and eagle warriors in the front row to feel a wave of palpitations.

Such majesty, such bearing, must be gods.

Hamare no longer doubted, and immediately fell to his knees and exclaimed: "Venerable Quetzalcoatl, creator and nurturer of mankind, your glory shines like the sun on the earth." ”

Anyone who can become a high-level samurai is not a fool, and when he sees his commander bowing down, he doesn't know the identity of the person in front of him, and he immediately falls to his knees.

The soldiers in the back saw that the commanders in front of them were all kneeling, and those who knew quickly knelt down, and those who didn't know also knelt down in the crowd, and soon all 40,000 Aztec soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

It turned out that the people of the Ramakat coalition were just watching happily, but when they saw that the Aztecs were all prostrated at Liu Zheng's feet, and the neat shouts almost rushed into the sky, their faces changed.

God loves the world, but He loves some of them even more.

In order not to let the favor of God be robbed by the Aztecs, the coalition forces of Ramakat also bowed down one after another, shouting: "Ramakat's patron, commissioner of supreme glory, your precepts will be engraved in the blood of the Ramakats, and they will never deviate from it in their lives." ”

They were not as numerous as the Aztecs, but the Ramakats were naturally high-pitched and could barely compete with the Aztecs.

Liu Zheng's ears were a little itchy from the sound on both sides, and he picked his ears, a little helpless.

pretended to be a god and deceived the natives, how could he compete for favor with the harem, and he was not a brother and a ma.

The Tlaxcala soldiers stationed at Taniguchi were already shocked, and their jaws were about to fall when they saw this scene in front of them.

"Is it really Quetzalcoatl's return?" The leader of the Tlaxcala garrison was not qualified to deal with the situation, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform the qualified people.
