Aztec Immortal - Chapter 293
Chapter 285: Eight Departments of Dogs, Planning a Mountain City
“One hundred thousand dog descendants going south?!”
Xiulot was a little surprised. The Kingdom of Tarasco had established canine mercenaries, and these brave warriors had left a deep impression on him. Then, the king was a little suspicious.
“Guachichiles? Huh, Guachichiles, kua-itl means head, chichil-tic is red, barbarians with red heads?”
“Yes, Your Highness. The Guakili dog descendants have almost moved southward, and the number is indeed more than one hundred thousand. They are barbarians farther north on the plateau, entrenched in the depths of the most difficult desert. They are warlike, quick-tempered, and possess Excellent archery skills, able to shoot flying jays! They worship red very much, regard bleeding as sacred, and use any dye they can find to dye their hair red. The characteristic of Guakili’s senior fighters is bright red s hair!”
“Your Highness, the situation of the Chichimeks in the north is complicated and can be divided into seven groups. In addition to the Guakili, there are also the Pamus who married and merged with our family, the Guamal who are adjacent to the west, and the West. The Tecue people who are farther away, the Kax people who married the Tekos people, and the Tepeca people and Zacate people in the far northwest. The tribes communicate with each other and have different customs, and they marry each other and are hostile to each other. Wait for the opportunity in the future. I can tell you slowly.”
“Oh? I heard that there are eight families of the Chichimaker. The Guakili, the Guamal, and the Otomi.”
Shulot paused, and looked at the old priest opposite him meaningfully.
“Oort, please continue to the topic.”
“Your Highness, we Otomi people have a long tradition and are different from them”
Oort smiled wryly, knowing what His Highness meant. He shook his head and continued without making excuses.
“In the face of the invasion of the Guakili dog descendants, Palms State could not last long. By March, except for a few closed and self-defense city-states, most of the towns and villages had fallen. Fortunately, the dog descendants did not Will attack the city, but plundered wantonly in the countryside. In the past half month, scattered tribes have begun to harass the northern part of Ottopan. What’s worse is that several large Guakili tribes headed by them have occupied the Palms The fertile land with rich water and grass in the state is ready to settle here!”
“The tribe, which is half hunting and half farming, invaded south and began to settle.”
Shulot fell into deep thought. According to the old priest’s description, these Guakili dog descendants who admire red and are good at archery should be the most combative among the Chichimeks. They are natural hunters, proficient in guerrilla tactics, and occupy the northernmost part of the Mexican plateau.
In later generations, the Guakili, as the main force of resistance among the Chichimeks, fought with the Spaniards for nearly half a century, and finally forced the colonists to bow their heads and sue for peace. Fortunately, these difficult hunting tribes do not have the most important horses and livestock.
“Oort, the Otomi are a large tribe in the north. There are more than 20,000 warriors in each state, and the militia that can be mobilized is several times that. Didn’t you send troops to expel the Guakili?”
“Your Highness, there are indeed more than 20,000 warriors in the three states. But the dog descendants are ferocious and they are everywhere, and they continue to flow. Palms state is under siege, and naturally there are tribes in the north of Guamare state. Only the Ottopanzu land can Sending out troops. A month ago, the military leader of the mountain city, Okuili, personally led the army and led 10,000 legions to the north to start a fierce battle with several large Guajili tribes going south. The army was routed, only to be shot in the eye by an ambushed sharpshooter in pursuit.”
“After this battle, although the Guakili were scattered and fled, they did not suffer much. They were still firmly stationed in Parmesan. The leader of O’Kuili was seriously wounded and died a few days later. The Ottopan Army Lacking a commander, they directly withdrew to the mountain city. At this moment, the leaders of various ministries are gathering together to elect the supreme leader of the Ottopan mountain city, and the new military chief is constantly arguing! Your Highness, you came at the right time, Giova Need your support!”
Hearing this, Shulot’s eyes lit up. There are dog descendants going south outside, and there are chief disputes inside. The Otomi people have external troubles and internal troubles, and it is indeed the best time to subdue them. The king looked at the worried old priest and asked with a smile.
“Oort, as the highest-ranking Priest of Chaos, you have presided over the foreign peace talks of the Otomi Alliance several times. Can’t you decide the leader of the mountain city?”
The old priest shook his head with a wry smile, and said frankly.
“Your Highness, it is precisely because I have presided over the peace talks several times that my reputation has not been as good as before! I was born in Guamare, and in the mountain city of Ottopan, there is another senior Priest of Chaos, Saka. In fact , The ownership of Ottopan Mountain City depends on the hearts of the warriors, and the competition is the military strength of the tribal leaders. There are currently two candidates for the leader, Giova, who I support, and Nerpa, who is supported by Saka. ”
“Your Highness, I have been paying attention to the changes in the alliance, and Giova also knows the power of the alliance. No matter what the reason is, we are willing to seek changes, submit our allegiance to you, and seek a way out for the Otomi people. And Saka is a very traditional Otomi. Priest Tommy, Nerpa has never fought against the alliance. We regard the alliance as a friend, they regard the alliance as an enemy! The wolf king will determine the direction of the wolf pack, once Nerpa becomes the leader”
Shulot showed a clear face, and affirmed without hesitation.
“Oort, between us, we can trust each other. I am full of goodwill to the Otomi people, and will support my subjects and destroy my enemies! What is your plan?”
“Your Highness, you are the eagle of Mexica, the king of the kingdom of the lake! Your prestige is spread all over the world, and the Otomi people also believe in your divinity. Therefore, please enter the mountain city in person and participate in the tribal meeting. In Otomi In front of Tommy’s ministries, he expresses his support for Giova!”
“What!”
Bertard has been listening quietly. Hearing this, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore, stepped forward, and eagerly suggested.
“Your Highness, you are the supreme sun, you must never take risks alone!”
Oort also took a step forward and grabbed the corner of Xiulot’s clothes. He raised his left hand and swore sincerely.
I think you should take a look at mtlfanfic.com
“Your Highness, I swear to the gods with my own life! The Otomi people are in danger. We long for a new sun, long for the leadership of the strong. We will never, and dare not, do anything to you and offend you Strong Alliance!”
“oh!”
Shulot raised his eyebrows. He waved to the samurai commander. The old priest also let go, saluted and apologized. The king looked calm and looked into the eyes of the old priest.
“An eagle needs wings, and a king needs majesty. Oort, how many guards can I bring into the city?”
“Five hundred people. Your Highness, five hundred people. The most powerful Otomi leader in the legend has a guard of five hundred people. This number is in line with tradition, and the Otopan people can accept it!”
“Well. With five hundred elite armor entering the mountain city and six thousand troops stationed outside the Otomi, the risk of entering the city is actually not that great, but it’s worth a try!”
Shulot pondered for a while, his face as calm as a lake. He made a decision in his heart, but he didn’t reveal it in his words.
“Oort, Giova needs my support to become the leader of the mountain city. So what can I get?”
“Your Highness, you will be responsible for the canonization ceremony of Giova. You will get the vassals who control the mountain city, the loyalty of the nobles of the mountain city, and the heart of the Otomi people!”
Oort’s expression moved, and he bowed to answer.
The king shook his head with a calm expression.
“Not enough, Oort. I can venture into the city, but I need more. You can give me more too!”
“Your Highness, after Giova takes power, the Otomi will move closer to you. The Ottopan Legion will go north again to fight against the Guakili dogs. As long as you help us, I can summon three The leader of the state, hold the ceremony of the gods, and officially honor you as the great chief of the Otomi people!”
“Oh, there is still this layer of planning? Oort, you are very scheming.”
Shulot looked at the old priest with a smile on his face. He shook his head again.
“Oort, think about your identity. You know what I care about and what I want!”
“His Royal Highness Shulot!”
The eyes of the old priest showed deep sorrow and pleading. The king remained unmoved, but looked firmly into the opponent’s eyes, and then reached out to hold the Sun God amulet around his neck. After a long time, the old priest finally lowered his head. At this moment, his back was hunched, and he became old in an instant.
“Your Highness, the Saka family is the most conservative diehard. As long as Giova is in power, he can issue a military order ordering them to return to the fief and drive them all out of the mountain city. You can arrange people on the periphery, preferably barbarians who are difficult to identify. .”
“As long as they die, the diehards will lose their backbone. Giova will control the city of Ottopan, I will influence Guamare State, and the besieged Palms State. At that time, on behalf of the priesthood, I will issue a decree, Let the Otomi people in the three kingdoms convert to the supreme Lord God”
Oort lowered his head, even breathing became difficult. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, his expression became hard again.
“However, Your Highness, the belief in the original god has been passed down in the hearts of the Otomi people for a long time, and He is also the ancestor god believed by the Otomi people. The war god Vizilopochtli has been elevated to the supreme main god, the original god Ometeo After Tel abdicates, please make him the second most important servant! In this way, the turbulence of faith can be minimized.”
Shulot looked at the old priest. The other party is like a candle in the wind, crumbling, trying to hold on to the extinguished flame, but unable to change the departure of the old god. The king thought for a moment, then nodded. He has plenty of time and is in no rush.
“Okay. Oort, I promise you! In the land of the three kingdoms of the Otomi people, the original god retreats to the second subordinate god. Remember your promise to me!”
“I will. The Otomi do not have a choice. Your Highness, what is your choice?”
“The day after tomorrow, open the city gate. I will lead five hundred guards, hold high the king’s banner of the black wolf, and enter the ancestral land of the mountain city!”
The night wind blows and the bonfire flickers. The king’s voice was raised high, floating in the slightly cold wind, full of magnificence and boldness. The long wind blows and falls into the towering mountain city, but it is a tactful lament. The former chief, Okuili, has been buried in the tribal sacred cemetery, and his relatives are praying through the night. Not far away, the longhouses of the chiefs were lit all night. A new flame is burning.
Note: In this chapter of the Qidian App, there is a distribution map of the eight parts of the dog.
Chichimec can be roughly divided into eight groups, namely: Otomies Otomies, Pames, Guamares, Guachichiles, Zacatecos, Tepecans, Tepecans, Caxcanes and Tecuexes. They are roughly distributed in the north of Guanajuato, Guanajuato and Guadalajara, and Zacatecas, which is rich in silver mines, is named after the Zacates.
