Aztec Eternals

"What a big river!" Shulot stood on the hill, looking at the Leman River, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Indeed, what a great river!" Avet also stood beside him, with the command flag on his back raised high.

He looked at the east where the great river originated, looked to the northeast where the city of Xilotepec was located, and finally looked at the north of the king's camp, admiring from the bottom of his heart.

"Sholot, do you know where this river is?" Avit smiled.

"What's so good about the river? It must be faster to march along the river and easier to transport food." The smart boy understood it after thinking about it.

"Yes. And this location is especially good." Avet nodded in agreement, "Do you know how long it takes from here to the Mexica camp outside Hilotpec?"

"I'm not like you. I have fought wars here, so how can I know the specific terrain." The boy shook his head.

"It only takes eleven days from here to the big camp outside the city of Xilotpec. Seven days by water, and then four days by land to the northeast. Tell me, how long have we traveled from Xilotpec to Ottopan? "

"Oh, that section of the mountain forest lasts about sixteen days." The boy thought of the difficult trek through the mountains and forests.

"Yeah, if there is no interference from the enemy, it will be sixteen days. It will be at least five days faster from here." Avet became a little excited, "You still remember, from Xilotepek to Ottopan, the army set up all the way The next few mountain camps will be used to transport food?"

"Four, about three days apart."

"That's it! From here, it takes only nine days to get to the nearest mountain camp outside the Hilotepec camp. Six of those days are by water and three are by land. That's also the way from the Ottopan camp to the Hilotepec camp. The only way!"

Avit smiled and patted the command flag behind him, and the big umbrella above his head swayed for a while: "It will take at least thirteen days to get there from the siege camp."

"It's only been four days, Avet, what are you excited about?" The young man glanced at Avet speechlessly, and then noticed the three-meter-high flag that was still shaking, and felt a pain in his back.

This thing is only a little smaller than the four-meter-high king's commander-in-chief flag, but the commander-in-chief flag has been placed on the king's shoulders all the time, and he doesn't have to carry it by himself.

"Four days fast! Well, it's really useless now, but it means we have the initiative. The eagle always has to ride the wind to fly fast enough to catch the galloping hare."

"The premise is that you have to see the hare first." Shulot had guessed something a long time ago, and he also had the ambition to fly, but all of this could only be done according to the trend.

"So, we'll stay here now." Avit laughed. "Like you said, stand by the stake and wait for the rabbit to hit it."

"The stakes are easy to guard, but this river is not so easy to guard." The boy looked at the Tarasco patrol team on the other side of the river. They held bronze spears that shone coldly in their hands, and they were looking at the Mexica army from a distance across the river. . Further back, several scouts were running at high speed, reporting to the rear.

"Don't you still have this command flag? After two years of idleness, I finally carried it on my back." Avet smiled and patted the tall flag again. The process seemed to give him a special kind of pleasure.

"Are you so happy to carry a flag? This umbrella flag looks very heavy. Don't you feel tired after carrying it all the time?" Xiulot asked with some concern, "Take a break, and someone else will carry it for you." Bar!"

"This is the supreme command of 30,000 people. How can the power bestowed by the gods be handed over to others?" Avit said with a smile, and then changed his tone, "How about this, can you help me recite it?"

The young man quickly waved his hand, he is not a fool for being so heavy: "You said just now that this is power, how can you just hand it over to others?"

"Of course I can't leave it to others. But, Shulott." The teacher on the opposite side laughed, "I can accept it if I leave it to you."

"Come on, don't try to lie to me for help, this thing is old and heavy." The wise young man had already seen the teacher's plan, "I'm still a child, just let me go."

Arvette laughed happily. He joked with a smile: "Now you are still young and don't know the benefits of this flag. When you grow up, you will try to carry it. I don't like it if it is lighter. I want to change it to a heavier one. The heavier the better. Don't give up even if you're exhausted."

Xiulot pouted: "I want to be the master of power, not the slave of power!"

"Master? Slave?" Avit tasted it carefully for a while before saying, "This metaphor is good. Then how are you going to be the master?"

"Be the master." The boy thought for a while, then rolled his eyes: "Maybe it's to restrain my desire?"

Arvit was suddenly amused. He patted Xiulot on the head and said with a smile: "You are the master, why do you restrain your desires? As a master, you only need to learn one thing: how to control your slaves, how to use your power !"

Avet once again brainwashed the teenager with the old ruling class ideas.

"In other words, you have to think, what are you going to do with your power?"

"What about you, what do you want to use your power for?" the boy asked back.

"I want to use the power I have now." Avet patted the commander's flag again, "Go and catch the biggest and fastest rabbit. So as to gain more power!"

"And after that?"

"After that, the condor will fly into the sky, and wherever he can see, it will be his hunting ground, and it will eventually become the kingdom of God." Avit softly recited a prayer to worship the god. "I want to be a condor and conquer the whole world. How about you?"

"The cactus will go deep into the earth, and the places it can touch will be connected by roots, and thus become people's homes." Shulot then read the next prayer. "Then I am a cactus, to condense an empire."

"Then, the eagle landed on the cactus. He promised the Mexica: the field of corn and deer, the border covered by the sky and the earth, will belong to your future!" The two then chanted together, the voice Gradually high and far, it floated straight up to the sky, and then fell to the earth, like an oath to the gods.

Fiery emotions blended into the voice, and stirred in the hearts of the two of them. They stood side by side, looking into the distance.

After a long time, Avit smiled lightly: "The corn has just germinated, so we are discussing how to eat it, which seems to be thinking too far."

Xiu Luote also nodded: "Then lay the pile first, what if the rabbit comes?"

The boy and the teacher looked at each other and laughed.

Avet then used the power of the commander to turn the north bank of the Leman River into a large construction site.

He first selected five hilly highlands by the river, and set up five forward camps respectively. The camps are located on the mountain, built small and strong, with a distance of several miles from each other. Thus controlling the entire area suitable for crossing the river. These camps are like nails. Even if the Tarascos cross the river from a distance, they will be threatened by the nails.

In each camp, Avit placed 3,000 militiamen and 1,000 city-state warriors as the basis of combat power, 100 directly subordinate warriors, and 10 military noble jaguars as the command level. Their task was not to attack, but to hold the camp for at least five days. Relying on strong camps, the morale of the army was maintained. Occupying a favorable location, a militia can reach the combat effectiveness of half a samurai.

Next, Avit built another big camp one day away from the camps.

He put ten thousand real elites here. Replenish your energy, avoid the enemy's sight, and be ready to strike halfway at any time. This is the main force of the field battle, maintaining the initiative to choose and put into the appropriate battlefield. Xiulot's newly formed Longbow Guard was also in the battalion.

At the same time, Avit had already sent envoys up the river to establish contact with the capital's fleet. While striving for food and reinforcements, it requires effective water intervention forces.

In the chilling arms, two weeks passed quickly. The first Mexica boats finally arrived from the upper reaches of the capital, carrying food supplies like tiny colonies of ants.

And the Tarascos were finally assembled. The 80,000-strong army came in a mighty manner, and set up a camp stretching for several miles on the south bank of the Leman River. On the opposite side of them is the Mexica's stronghold, boats and warriors, a line of defense connected by mountains and rivers.

Ask for a recommendation. thank you~
