Chapter 137: Liwei

They quickly remembered the first of the Three Commandments of Tiger Hill: "All actions are under command." ”

Realizing that they had violated the precepts, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they knelt down and confessed: "We have violated the precepts, please forgive the members." ”

Liu Zheng waved them to stand up, and then said to the uneasy messengers, "Don't kneel, I don't like to kneel." This is the first time, so I will punish you from eating today. ”

The messengers breathed a sigh of relief, for such a punishment was more reassuring to them than no punishment, and immediately bowed their heads and said, "Your mercy is as gentle and broad as the moonlight. ”

Soon, the leader returned, he glanced at Liu Zheng and said, "Follow me, the chief will receive you." ”

His words made the messengers angry again, but the learned from the punished man could only glare at the leader fiercely.

Liu Zheng didn't care, and calmly led the messengers through the guards, ignoring the spears that were less than ten centimeters from his throat.

The leader led them to the front of the council hall, saying that it was the council hall, but it was actually a relatively large wooden house.

The people of the Viper Tribe already knew that there was a news of outsiders coming, and both men, women, and children, all of them were curious, near or far, or hid in the house to watch.

"Get in!" The leader saw that Liu Zheng was standing still, and pushed him hard.

At this time, Liu Zheng didn't have patience, but grabbed the leader's leather skirt, lifted him in the air, and threw him into the council hall.

This time the hornet's nest was opened, and not only the warriors of the Viper tribe changed their faces and were ready to rush forward, but the tribal leaders in the council hall also ran out.

"Is this how you're a guest? Outsiders. The chief of the Viper Tribe said with a cold face.

This is a short, middle-aged man, with a rare beard and pigtails, and looks a bit like the dwarves in "The Lord of the Rings".

However, with his strong muscles and towering cheekbones, it does look a bit majestic.

"I'm not a guest, and you're not the hosts here. Look here, there are poisonous snakes everywhere, weeds are overgrown, there are thin layers of soil and uncultivable land everywhere, do you want such land? As Liu Zheng spoke, he looked around.

Some of the warriors looked angry when they heard him belittle their territory like this, but most people, especially the older ones, had some approval and reflection in their eyes.

"This is the land where we have lived for generations, and it is not your turn to be evaluated by outsiders." The Viper Chief also noticed the expressions of the people and quickly reprimanded.

"The land where you have lived for generations is the Central Valley, where there are lakes as wide as the sea, endless fields and flowers, butterflies flying freely, and people never worry about tomorrow's food." Speaking of this, Liu Zheng turned around and walked to the center of the square.

In full view of everyone, he sang an old ballad.

"Sacred Central Valley, my sweet hometown."

"Everywhere there are fields of golden corn, everywhere the fragrance of wildflowers."

"Five lakes are like pearls, wear around your neck."

"The magnificent Great Pyramid of Chorula, where the sun shines brightly."

"O sons of the kingdom of Ramakat, they are buried here in their original lives."

"Sacred Central Valley, my forever hometown."

Liu Zheng's low and hoarse singing voice echoed in the square, and the distant and familiar poems brought everyone present back to that era of prosperity and wealth, and some of the more emotional people even shed tears unconsciously.

"Lie to confuse the people, arrest him for me." Seeing that the situation was not right, the Viper Chief immediately ordered.

His prestige among the tribe was very high, and at the sound of an order, those warriors did not hesitate to pounce on Liu Zheng, although they had some good feelings for Liu Zheng.

"Stubborn." Liu Zheng shook his head, smashed a spear in two with a single punch, and then kicked the spear bearer out of the air.

There are one or two hundred warriors watching the excitement, and there are at least seven or eight hundred warriors outside and in charge of defense, which is worthy of being one of the largest tribes.

But it was not much of a threat to Liu Zheng, even if all the fighters swarmed up, he would be the only one standing in the end.

But that doesn't make sense, it's not an RPG game, killing monsters and experience upgrades.

Even if he were, he wouldn't do it, it wasn't in line with his plan.

The thief captures the king first, Liu Zheng flashed forward, his legs flashed, and all the people who blocked him were kicked away.

Then, like an eagle catching a chicken, grab the Viper Chieftain who wants to retreat.

The Viper Chief still wanted to struggle, but Liu Zheng pinched his spine with precision, leaving him unresponsive from the neck down.

The messengers stood in a circle and guarded him, while the serpent warriors outside threw their rats and did not dare to step forward for a moment.

"I sent to inform you, and you ignored my commands. Now I give you another chance to choose, to follow me back to your homeland, or, like him, die of ignorant arrogance. Liu Zheng looked at the viper tribesmen with different faces and said.

The Viper Chief's face was twisted, and he wanted to scold, but he slapped the chief on the top of the head, and the concussive force turned his brain into a mess.

A thick liquid of red, white, and gray flowed out of the Viper Chieftain's seven orifices, and he was so angry that he was on the spot.

"Great Smoke Mirror, grant me the power of darkness to slay the enemies of your faithful believers." An old voice rang out.

Liu Zheng followed the sound and saw an old man with black and yellow stripes on his face holding an obsidian mirror, facing the reflective one at him.

A thin cloud of smoke emerged from the mirror and swooped down on him.

This old man is the priest of the Viper Tribe, he has been silently preparing spells just now, and then taking advantage of Liu Zheng's sneak attack at the moment when he killed the Viper Chieftain, but he did not lose the name of the Viper.

The spell he uses is so vicious that it can drag the soul of a person in the mirror into eternal darkness until he dies of mental breakdown or physical exhaustion.

But the cost is also enormous, a priest can only use it three times in his life, and each time it is used it brings disaster to the tribe.

But he couldn't care about that much, and if he didn't, the tribe would be facing disaster right now.

The Viper Priest watched with delight as the smoke enveloped Liu Zheng, and then watched in horror as he waved his hand to disperse the smoke.

"It turned out to be a believer in Texcatlipoca, no wonder he dared to disobey my will. What, is his arrow wound already healed? Liu Zheng sneered, took off the curtain bow like lightning, and shot the obsidian mirror to pieces with an arrow.

The enchanted arrow continued to gain momentum, and then pierced the serpent priest's neck, nailing it to the pillar with a splash of blood.

"Even a few spells dare to boast in front of me, even Tezcatlipoca himself is here, and I will break his other leg." He looked at the viper priest who had fallen to the ground and said coldly.

The Viper Tribe is only the majority of the people who believe in the dark gods, and the few who believe in other gods have fallen to their knees and begged for forgiveness.

In particular, the people who believed in Quetzalcoatl had been pressed down before, but now they couldn't wait to rush to Liu Zheng's feet, kissing the dirt under his feet and saying prayers in their mouths.

As a result, those who believed in the gods of darkness began to hesitate.

"Bell", the first Viper Tribe warrior lost his weapon, and then he scrambled to be the last.

Almost in a few breaths, all the people of the Viper Tribe dropped their weapons and fell to their knees.

People are ignorant, but not stupid, superstitious, but not fanatical.

In fact, with the exception of priests, most indigenous people are polytheistic, and they may dedicate themselves to one deity, but they will not completely exclude the worship of another.

For example, in the city of Tenochtitlan, after participating in the God of War celebration, people will participate in the rain god celebration, and if there are other gods, they will not let go.

And it should be said or not, the god of darkness really can't beat the god of Quetzalcoatl.

Since his gods can't resist it, he only dares to engage in some conspiracy, and in the end he was seriously injured by an arrow, so it is also a wise move to change his faith and save his life first.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Viper tribe in the council hall knew that the general situation was gone, and was ready to kneel down and beg for mercy, but they were thinking too much.

"I said that anyone who didn't go to Tiger Hill to see me would pay the price. And you, are the price. Liu Zheng pointed his hand, and the messengers pounced on the leaders of the Viper tribe like tigers out of the cage.

The people of the Viper tribe watched in silence as their leaders were slaughtered, and even the relatives of the leaders did not dare to speak.

Thousands of years of religious brainwashing and living environment have made the natives superstitious and pragmatic.

If another tribe attacks, no matter how great the disparity in strength, there will always be warriors who dare to resist.

But if he is punished for disobeying the gods, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he can only be captured.

Because the power of God is unpredictable, and it affects the operation of everything in the world, a person who is rejected by God may bring the result of the destruction of an entire city, and no one wants to try this price.

Moreover, in the dark places of their hearts, they did not resent these leaders.

If it weren't for the fact that these leaders claimed that they were the people of the dark god, they would not have to follow the orders of the Quetzalcoatl, and the other party would definitely be a liar and a false god.

They can also, like other tribes, go to Tiger Hill to worship the gods and be part of those who follow the gods.

If you think about it with your ass, the final reward for actively following the gods and being forced to follow the gods will definitely be a world of difference.

All they now are praying that the blood of these people will appease the wrath of the gods and give them a chance to make amends.

The messengers quickly killed all the leaders of the Viper tribe and stood respectfully.

"How many tribes haven't been notified?" Liu Zheng asked.

"There should be 17 more tribes left unannounced, honorable commissioner." A messenger replied.

"Do you know what tribes they belong to?" Liu Zheng turned his head and asked the people of the Viper Tribe.

A believer of Quetzalcoatl replied, "Lord, we know their patterns. ”

He nodded and said, "Then send your men to inform the tribes other than them." The rest are ready to fight, waiting for my notification. ”

"Do as you command, my lord." The believer said sincerely.

"Let's go, go to the Blackwater Tribe." Liu Zheng strode towards the outside of the tribe.

The messengers with various patterns on their faces followed, and the people of the Viper tribe bowed their heads until they could no longer be seen, and did not dare to stand up.
