Chapter 54: The Prairie
"The Aztecs are facing an unprecedented threat, that's a fact, I'm well aware. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Magellan didn't really like this kind of roundabout way of speaking, but if you're dealing with a strange superior with an ambiguous attitude, it will quickly make him start to put away his contempt.
Now, he's ready to put an end to this boring self-introduction and start a real conversation.
"You're confident......"
"No, I just happen to know the reality. ”
"The Aztecs are not afraid of threats, even if they ......"
"Then can you let me and my companions go before you die?"
The elders looked at each other, and even in the face of such an offense, they did not shout angrily, and even their calm expressions did not change.
"Do you know what we're up against?"
"You don't know, but I happen to know a little. Magellan stood up, walked to the middle of the hall where the sun was shining, and stood under the sun, "That's the monster that devours the sun." ”
Magellan knew, and the elders must have known what this seemingly clueless metaphor meant.
The Aztec minds discussed with each other in whispers, they had not yet reached a consensus, but at least everyone agreed to make the meeting a pre-war meeting.
Everyone knows that war has come.
"What are we up against?"
"A monster driven by desire, an endless destroyer. Their rulers enacted a law that legitimized the looters to plunder and forcible possession, and unfortunately, almost everyone now considered the Aztecs to be the most suitable person to be robbed. ”
A low sigh rang out in the hall.
"Total War ......"
"So the country we're facing, how powerful is it?"
"It was a collection of countless nations that occupied an entire continent, and unfortunately in a war, their interests were completely aligned. ”
"Another Inca Empire ......"
The discussion among the elders had fallen silent, and they seemed to have come up with an answer.
"Then please answer our last question," the elder sitting in the middle of the hall stood up, "are you on the side of the Aztecs?"
"That only depends on one thing, whether or not you will escort me and my friends to a place in the southwest after the war is over. ”
"I hope you understand one thing, Outsider," the smell of blood began to spread through the hall as the Elder's words began, "if you're not on the side of the Aztecs, you're a corpse." ”
"I also want you to understand one thing, if I am not on your side, then you will know nothing about your enemies in the following war. ”
"The Aztecs crave war and blood ......"
"Who's?"
Magellan interrupted the elder's speech with great disgrace, and he opened his arms with his back to the sun: "Whose blood?"
"The sun god loves all bloody sacrifices...... Whoever he is. ”
"Well, I'll find a way to survive when you kill all the Aztecs to please the gods. ”
The hall was silent again.
Everyone was silent, Magellan patiently awaiting the results, knowing what was going to happen next.
"The place you want to go belongs to the Inca Empire, they are arrogant and rigid, and they will never welcome outsiders unless an Aztec takes you there. ”
"I want to ...... Now the Inca Empire is probably also at war. ”
With a smile on his face, Magellan faced the frightened elders, like the crow that brought bad news in the story.
......
The Holy Spirit sat on his horse, looking out at the chaotic army on the other side of the prairie.
In his only mortal memory, there were few troops of this size, and what surprised him even more was that there were no cavalry in this huge army.
In the age of the Holy Spirit, that meant total failure.
Despite this, he did not give the order to attack hastily, at least the New Crusaders were faced with a well-organized enemy and were able to remain quiet in battle, not a simple rabble.
Behind the Holy Spirit, the pious of the Holy See are leading the army in prayer, and a cavalry of a thousand men is waiting for the war to begin, quietly bowing their heads and telling science about their desire for victory.
The Holy Spirit can hear, his soul is connected to science, and the prayers of warriors reach his heart.
It has been a long time since there have been formed cavalry in the world to go to war after the mages of the kings of the world, but the new crusaders have performed miracles, and the Holy See has armed these noble and pious warriors with means beyond the imagination of mortals, and awaited them to be rewarded with victory.
Behind the knight was a large group of infantrymen, well-armed, shining cuirasses reflecting silver light, muskets in their hands already loaded with ammunition, and all that remained was to harvest lives.
At the end of the long front, there is the smallest but actually the most striking order of the Piety, who will work miracles after the outbreak of war.
This is the only force in the world that can compete with the Guards Mage Corps of the King of the World, and what is even more terrifying is that no one in the world now knows about it except for the warriors standing on the battlefield.
The prayer is over.
The Holy Spirit silently raised his head, then raised the sword in his right hand.
"Glory to my Lord!"
The wind is blowing.
The knights began to let their horses move slowly, they held their spears alof, and the swallowtail flag fluttered in the wind.
Then the cavalry ranks began to charge.
The Holy Spirit on the white horse was at the top of the arrow, and he controlled the speed of the queue, patiently waiting for the opposite side to reveal a flaw.
But the army facing the charge did not panic, and did not even make adjustments to defend against the impact.
It was an infantryman's rigid line, adorned with hides and feathers like the barbarian armies of far-flung legends, with obsidian blades and tips of their weapons, except that they were not the rabble of the story.
The huge army, which far outnumbered the New Crusaders, was lined up in different phalanxes, with warriors with wooden shields in front and spearmen and archers behind them. Although somewhat primitive, this was a queue suitable for fighting cavalry charges.
The Holy Spirit didn't wait for the reaction he wanted, which meant that the opposing army had a complete command system, but he hadn't found a commander so far.
This doesn't make sense.
But there was no time left, and once again the Holy Spirit raised his right hand, and the warrior behind him, waving the flag, told all the knights in the charge of the commander's orders.
The cavalry ranks began to split on both sides, bypassing the frontal ranks and rushing to the side.
The Holy Spirit was still expecting, but he was disappointed again.
The indigenous queue did not move.
