Chapter 552: Battle of Tree Snake City, the Oath of the Gods

"Hmm?!"

The raindrops were rustling, disturbing people's hearts. The fight just now seemed long, but it was only half an hour. At this moment, dusk came in the heavy rain, and the shouts and killings in the city were disturbing. The dim skylight fell on Tsihuit's suddenly changed face, revealing some shock and depth.

"What did you say?"

The burly turquoise general took a step forward. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Travitt's collar.

"Damn it, explain it to me!"

".Ahem!"

Travitt's chest hurt, and he couldn't help coughing. He took a few deep breaths, looked at his wife behind him, and answered in a low voice.

"There is another secret behind the death of your master. I can tell you everything I know! But you have to swear to the Lord God to let me and Chichipati go!"

"Hehe. Let you go?"

Hearing the words of the Cloud Snake Hunter, Tsihuit raised his eyebrows, his heart was extremely irritable, and his killing intent was almost boiling. He had always been a little uncertain about the death of the legion commander. The burly general sneered and punched him without hesitation.

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

The brave Cloud Snake Hunter groaned and blood flowed from the tip of his nose. The heavy rain fell on his face and into his mouth, bringing a strong smell of blood. Travito gritted his teeth, closed his lips, and said nothing. The opponent's violent performance was very different from his previous calm fighting style. It can be seen that he was confused and very concerned.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Tsihuit punched three times in a row, and the Cloud Snake Hunter was bruised and swollen. Chichipati burst into tears, but he didn't get the response he wanted.

"Praise the Lord! Kill them!"

The shouts of the Mexica warriors were getting closer and closer. The large group of alliance warriors dispersed and were clearing the remaining enemies in the city. I'm afraid it won't be long before warriors from the royal family or other city-states arrive. At that time, these noble captives will be handed over to the king as sacrifices for the capital's grand ceremony.

"Despicable archer!"

Tsehuit suppressed the fire in his heart, stared at the other party's eyes, and shouted angrily.

"Quick, tell me! Everything about the night attack that night!"

"Woo, swear to the Lord God to let us go!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter answered. His mouth was swollen and his voice was a little garbled.

"."

Tsehuit pursed his lips, raised his left hand, and punched like a rock again.

"Bang!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter's chin was hit hard, causing a concussion in the brain. The unbearable pain came in an instant, making him scream.

"Ah!."

"You, will you tell me?"

Tsehuit widened his eyes, like a tiger and leopard who was choosing someone to bite.

"Ha!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter was sweating profusely in pain, his face was twitching, but he tried to raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You swear first."

".Damn it!"

Tsehuit growled and raised his fist again. He looked at the Cloud Snake Hunter who was almost knocked unconscious, paused for a moment, and slowly lowered his hand. He stared at the Cloud Snake Hunter fiercely, thought for a long time, and finally made a promise amid the shouting and killing nearby.

"Hoo, despicable archer! Tell me everything you know! If the death of the legion commander really has nothing to do with you, I will let you go!"

"Swear! Let me and my wife go!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter gritted his teeth and demanded stubbornly. For traditional warriors who value honor, oaths are the only trustworthy guarantees.

".The Lord God is witnessing! I, Tesihuit, swear by the honor of a warrior! And you, you must also swear to the gods!"

Tsehuit clenched his fists, resisted the killing intent in his heart, and said word by word.

"You, tell me everything you know about the night raid! If the death of the legion commander has nothing to do with you, I will spare your lives!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter smiled with difficulty on his bruised and bloody face.

"Cloud Snake witness! I, Travit, swear by the honor of a warrior that everything I say next is true!"

"Speak quickly!"

"Huh, huh, that night, I saw the arrows shot at your master from the side and rear of the army."

Travit panted, recalling the scene of that night. Although it was only more than half a month after that rare victory, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

"And at that location, I didn't see the Tree Snake guards who attacked and killed, and no attacking team had been sent before!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Tsihuit's expression changed, uncertain. His heart was surging, like a flood hitting a rock, making a series of roars.

"Go on!"

"After that battle, I returned to the Tree Snake City with my warriors. The city lord wanted to reward the warriors who had made contributions, and I searched all the remaining Tree Snake guards, but I couldn't find the archer."

Travit glanced at the other party's gloomy face and carefully organized his words. The heavy rain blocked everything, and his low voice could only be heard by the two people who were close to him.

"These days, I have thought about it carefully. It was very dark that night, and your master was wearing thick armor and was guarded by the army. Even with my archery skills, it was difficult to hurt him."

"And the person who could shoot through his neck with an arrow must be very close and have excellent archery skills! He shot this precise arrow from an angle that the guards were not on guard. And the timing of this arrow was just when the sky was about to dawn, and the Mexica Corps had stabilized in the night attack. Even if the main general died, there was no risk of collapse"

". Excellent archery, very close distance, no guard, and the timing was right? Master"

Hearing this, Tsihuit froze and stood still. The suspicion hidden in his heart was confirmed by the words of the Cloud Snake Hunter, and it turned from a flood into a raging fire, burning fiercely in his chest. There was no drastic change in his expression, but his eyes became more and more red, with deep hatred.

"You mean?"

"Yes! The person who shot your master to death must be one of your own in your legion! And he is a ruthless and excellent hunter!"

At this moment, Travitt was not completely sure in his heart, everything was just inference and conjecture. But on his face, he deliberately showed a firm and confident look, so that Tsihuit could see it.

"."

Tsihuit took two steps back, lowered his head and lowered his eyes. He waved his hand, and the dozen guards around him had been waiting for a long time, and now they all rushed forward. The warriors pointed their spears at Travitt's vitals, and surrounded Chichipati and the remaining few people.

"You! You swore an oath!"

Seeing this, Travit's expression changed drastically. He was about to reach out to take the copper axe that fell on the ground, but a sharp copper spear was pressed against his neck. Travit's heart trembled, and he looked at the silent Turquoise General and shouted loudly.

"Damn it! Glorious Mexica warrior! Are you going to violate the oath of the gods and abandon your honor?"

"."

Tsihuit was silent, thinking, and didn't say a word. The heavy rain fell, messing up his hair, wetting the corners of his eyes, and hitting his face. The sky gradually dimmed, and the skylight was swallowed by the mountains in the west, just like his heart. After a while, the burly Turquoise General raised his head and said hoarsely.

"Travit, the sacred fight is to the death. And you, in the fight just now, lost to me."

"Ah?! You!"

Hearing this, Travit's heart was shocked. The sacred duel is also the oath of the gods. The face of the Cloud Snake Hunter gradually showed a miserable smile, and his eyes were filled with the determination to die.

"I can die here, but you promised me to let Chichi Patty go! She may have my child."

"Hehe, you are a romantic, and you are still a warrior."

Tsihuit's eyes flashed, and he looked at the Cloud Snake Hunter carefully for a while, then nodded slowly and repeated the sentence again. Then, he spoke in a low voice, meaningfully.

"Forget it! Travit, I can let you go today. But the sacred duel is to the death. If you lose, you owe me a life!"

". Tsihuit, I owe you a life. Let me go, and I will give it back to you when I leave behind the descendants of the gods."

The wind and rain were shrill, and the screams were faint. The Cloud Snake Hunter pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and said the other party's name for the first time.

"Okay! The Lord God is witness!"

Tsihuit looked solemn, clenched his fists on his chest, and prayed devoutly to the gods.

"Cloud Snake Witness!"

The Cloud Snake Hunter looked solemn. He glanced at the beautiful girl of divine descent, raised his left hand with difficulty, and swore loudly. This was the promise of two noble warriors in the old times. They still maintained the traditional style, which was the agreement of the Flower War.

"Remember your oath, Archer!"

Tsihuit nodded and left the last words. Then, he looked at the other party deeply, turned around, and walked towards the city without looking back. Behind him, a dozen sour wood guards looked at each other, hesitated for a few breaths, and followed Tsihuit and left together.

"Huh!"

Seeing the enemy leaving, the brave Cloud Snake Hunter breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed all over, almost lost all his strength, and collapsed in the wet soil.

"Woo! Vito!"

Chichipati was soaked all over, threw himself into the arms of the Cloud Snake Hunter, hugged the other's strong chest, and buried his head and cried.

".Patty, stop crying. We have to find a way to slide down the city wall with a rope while the night and heavy rain are here. The road ahead is still very difficult, so we need to save our strength."

With the help of several guards, the Cloud Snake Hunter hugged his wife and stood up with difficulty. He stood in a narrow, deserted alley, turned around and looked back, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city-state.

The burly Mexica general disappeared in the layers of rain. The towering pyramid temple stood in the fierce rain. And tens of thousands of Mexica warriors were pouring into the city, killing people wantonly, and wiping out the nobles who had been passed down for hundreds of years. After a moment, he sighed heavily.

"Hey! Mexica. Tlaxcalans, goodbye, Tree Snake City!"

The skylight disappeared from the west, and night slowly fell. The capital of the Tlaxcalans fell before the wind and rain, and met the end of the world in the wind and rain. Although the fire in the temple has not been lit, the cruel conquest will not stop. The fighting in the Tree Snake City continued all night long. The warm red splashed in the rain, then spread along with the rain flow until it disappeared into the soil.

Fresh vitality flowed into the earth, noble souls went to the kingdom of God, and the sacred bloodline would be cut off in the ruthless killing. This was the destruction of the Tlaxcalans, and it was also the beginning of complete assimilation and national cohesion. The seeds of great unification sprouted in the fertile soil, but with flesh and blood as a sacrifice, like a myth sung in the wind!
