Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1722 - 1229: The Divine Monkey’s Lament—Faster Than Anyone! (Part 2)

"With the Chief Divine bearing witness! Such a generous and heroic song! City Lord Sakos, you are truly a warrior!… Alas! How could a warrior like you, unfearful of death, be so blinded, willingly align with the cowardly fleeing Feather, ultimately attracting the kingdom's reprisal?… What a pity, what a pity, truly a pity!..."

Hearing the enemy's sincere praise and regret, Sakos felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and the expression on his face changed. Monkey Kuluka patiently waited, sincerely gazing into the opponent's eyes. After a while, Sakos fiercely gritted his teeth and let out a long sigh of regret!

"Ancestors and All Gods! I know this is a Mexica conspiracy, but I cannot restrain the hatred in my heart… that damned, deceitful bird of misfortune! It brings destruction to all, yet always quickly flees before disaster arrives! It has destroyed many Cuicuilco city-states; it truly deserves death!..."

At this point, Sakos's bloodshot eyes gradually became moist, and he couldn't help but shed tears. After a while, he again looked at the waiting Monkey Kuluka, suddenly bursting into mad laughter, and shouted in hatred.

"Haha! You win, evil Mexica!… In the final moment before death, I could not hold my tongue and no longer wish to!…"

"I tell you, that damned poisonous bird, half a month ago, took his last two or three thousand tribal warriors, along with the warriors' families, and fled north! He intends to escape to the endless Northern Continent, fleeing this Epoch Apocalypse of slaughter, forever evading your Mexica's attacks!..."

"Ah! Ancient Divine and ancestors! I curse that misfortune bird to be pierced by a thousand arrows through the heart! I also curse you, benevolent yet cruel Mexica Divine Monkey; you shall surely be counter-cursed by the Volcano Demon, dying amidst the fire of Thunderbolt!..."

"..."

Monkey Kuluka silently remained calm and patient, waiting for Sakos to finish. Only when Sakos closed his eyes seeking death did he draw the sacrificial Obsidian Dagger from his waist, calmly grabbing this Divine Descendant's hair and deeply slicing across the neck!

"May the Chief Divine guide your spirit! Brave City Lord Sakos…"

The spurt of bright red instantly stained Monkey Kuluka's Leather Armor. He showed sorrow, prayed for the gradually dying enemy, then closed the unwilling eyes of the opponent. After doing all this, he let out a sigh of sorrow, ordering the surrounding Gold Spear trusted aides.

"Chief Divine, this is a true warrior, surely cherished by the tribespeople!… Sever his head, and the heads of the city's Divine Descendants, hang them on the spears, and parade them through the city to show everyone! After a circle in the city, go to the newly surrendered Tecos Tribe camp and let all the Tecos tribespeople know their Divine Descendant has died, converted to the Chief Divine before death, and has gone to the Chief Divine's Divine Kingdom!..."

"Meanwhile, gather the pillaging warriors in the city, extinguish the fires everywhere in the city, and stop unnecessary killings… these are the spoils of war belonging to the army, a shared wealth for all warriors!... Let the warriors from various parts of the city escort the captured able-bodied tribespeople to the camp outside the city!..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Additionally, inform the War Priest outside the city to prepare the conversion ceremony for tens of thousands of tribes quickly! The ceremony must be held by the day after tomorrow at the latest, sacrificing all captured city-state Divine Descendants, Priests, and nobility. All tribal captives must drink the Blood Wine, cut off a lock of hair or a finger, and make a Blood Oath of the soul, converting to the Supreme Main God! As for those unwilling to convert, identify them quickly and sacrifice them together to prevent future troubles..."

"By the way, Chief Divine bearing witness! All pillaged wealth must be distributed fairly. Four shares to the six thousand Great Lake Legion, two shares to the six thousand Chapala auxiliary forces, two shares to the seven thousand Guamal auxiliary forces, and two shares to the nearly ten thousand Tecos surrendered army!..."

"Oh? Legion Commander, what about your spoils?…"

"Under the Chief Divine's protection! No need to leave any for me. As for officers of various ranks, they need not be like me; they can follow the old rules… Hmm, forget it! If I don't take any, you all won't dare either… then leave me a noble lady of Tecos bloodline! And a few ancient city-state ritual artifacts!..."

"Yes! Legion Commander!..."

Upon hearing this, the Gold Spear trusted aide strictly saluted and hurriedly left. Not long after, a thousand warriors split from the two thousand Gun Samurai camp guarding the Temple. They formed a spear formation as dense as a forest, raising dozens of Divine Descendant heads on spears, patrolling through the city, and advancing outwards. Even the most defiant Guamal Canine Descendant were forced to halt their axes and knives, being forcibly gathered by the trusted aides…

Soon, the city-state of blood and fire extinguished its flames and solidified its dark red. The chaotic pillaging warriors were driven out of the city, along with large groups of captives and spoils, all escorted out of the city. After experiencing the brutal siege and pillaging, this last fallen city-state of the Northern Ticos Tribes gradually returned to tranquility, or rather, deathly silence…

The Supreme Main God's Divine Bird Banner, the kingdom's God of Death Wolf Banner, and the Great Lake Legion's Divine Monkey Banner fluttered above the All Gods Temple on the round mound. The countless old gods still observed on the walls, while the bright red bloodstains no longer flowed.

The Divine Monkey Great Chief Kuluka, his Leather Armor stained with blood, sat upright and respectfully before the altar of the temple, spreading out a crude and simple map. His gaze moved, observing the large blank space that merely outlined the simple terrain of the North and the few tribe names marked near the seaside.

"Chief Divine, truly a running Feather Prince! Such a sudden attack, yet he still managed to flee!… We have fought for so many years, even the Northern Ticos Divine Descendants have perished, and yet this Tarasco Feather still runs rampant everywhere, faster than anyone… this is a cunning red sparrow!..."

"Hmm, Sakos said he fled to the North, but Northeast, due North, and Northwest, which direction exactly?… Fled for half a month? Then at Feather's speed, he might have already run five or six hundred miles!… Five or six hundred miles north, wilderness, mountains, and seaside…"

Monkey Kuluka frowned, carefully examining the sparsely recorded map, uncommonly feeling a headache. His fingers wandered over the five or six hundred miles north, from the difficult Northeast wilderness, to the perilous due North mountains, and finally to the flat Northwest seaside… Suddenly, his fingers abruptly stopped, firmly pressing on a small seaside mark, exclaiming in shock.

"Chief Divine! Not good!… The easiest direction to march, Northwest, six hundred miles away… is the territory of the Torpan Tribe, the kingdom's Xihe Village Port!..."
