Chapter 27: The Refutation of the Reason (3)
No one dared to fight Tesosomok in a grand manner. Since the commander of the first battalion was defeated by Tesosomok, the rest of the battalions have accelerated the move to pull out the village. Aztlan has no wheel skills, nor does cattle and sheep and other domestic animals that can consign supplies. The soldiers can only move the bags of cornmeal, avocado, pumpkin, and beans out of the warehouse, then stuff them into boxes that are transported by manpower, and count the numbers one by one.
This was a big project, and it took the soldiers a whole day. During this whole day, Ella was forced to follow Tessomok, watching him whisper at the soldiers and shouting.
"King of Sweden, I have something to tell you." Tsosomok said, "I will use those pirate prisoners of war later. If you feel it is inconvenient to show your face, my warrior can take you to the side and avoid it for a while."
This sentence refers to "King of Sweden" rather than "God's Envoy". It is a "telling a message" after making a decision, rather than a "negotiation". This huge change made it difficult for Ella to adapt.
"Tesosomomok, you didn't have such a personality before..."
"That's because I was hurt. I can only place my hope on the gods."
"Then you...?"
"Now that my injury is healed, I can do many things myself, so naturally I don't need to turn to God. If I was not injured at the beginning of the trouble, Izkoyatel wouldn't need the 'Feedling God' to clean up the mess."
Speaking of this, Tessomok stopped and turned to look at Ella:
"But, King of Sweden, I hope you don't think too much. We are still allies. Although we have to restrict part of your actions, I will still give you the same treatment as me as possible."
Ella narrowed her eyes in confusion, feeling that the man Tessomok gradually became unfamiliar. He had heard Ella too much and relied on Ella so much that Ella almost forgot that this was a vicious character who dared to raid Britain with 300 warriors and turned the capital of the Knight King into a purgatory on earth.
The captured pirates were taken to the ready-to-run troops by Aztland soldiers.
"Maybe many of you are wondering what happened and guessing what you are going to do next." Tessomok said to the troops below, "Then I can tell you that nothing happened, and there will be only an ordinary deployment and mobilization next. Xue Chipepe is disrespectful to me and crosses the line many times, so he was injured by me; the Sun King gave me the power to command you, and the commander of the first battalion was dissatisfied, so he was executed by me."
Tsosomok said, pacing back and forth between prisoners of war and soldiers on the high platform.
"Maybe there are many of you who are wondering why there are no priests on this high platform. After all, according to custom, before the large army is mobilized, this group of prisoners of war will be sacrificed to the Sun God of War, and their blood will be distributed to you equally, for you to drink, to enhance your magic power - then I can also tell you that there will be no such cruel sacrifice today. Because it is not someone else who guides us on this march, but the Feathered Snake God who hates the most - whether you believe it or not, the Feathered Snake God has returned to Aztland!"
Speaking of this, Tessomok turned his head and looked in the direction where Ella hid, and smiled meaningfully, as if saying, "Look, I am fulfilling our covenant."
But such a smile can no longer make Ella feel full of trust.
The pirates who were pushed to the platform were pulled down again. The only function they played was to cooperate with Tesosomok's speech. Ella was pushed and walked up to the platform. Tesosomok smiled and patted her on the shoulder, looking like he was treating his brothers. Then, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and drank below: "That's all. Now, pull the village and retreat!"
——"Tratoani!"
The voice of a messenger interrupted Tesosomok's words. He ran to Tesosomok's ear and whispered a few times. Tesosomok's face immediately turned dark: "It's almost here? At this time?"
"What happened?" Ella asked.
"There are some tricks. The messengers sent by the Sun King to reward us for their military achievements have come nearby. I am afraid that they will arrive at us in half a day - but there is no need to worry about these trivial matters." Tessomok waved his hand to the west, "The plan remains unchanged, and retreat immediately now! As for whether the Sun King's messengers can see us, it is their own business."
The entire army finally began to march. The soldiers of Tenochtitlan, who were originally affiliated with the Sun King, were walking in the front, and the soldiers of the Trakopanbang directly under Tessomok followed closely behind. This was a normal marching queue in Aztlan. There were no powerful powers near the Aztlan Empire. Therefore, every time the Sun King's troops were in battle, they would always walk in front of the Trakopan and Teskopan troops. This was a manifestation of bravery and the position where the most prisoners of war could be captured. But now Tessomok was deployed in this way, but with his own troops, it was somewhat of a sense of supervising the war with his own troops.
Following the soldiers of Tescokoban were the subordinates of the lords of the states, and then the logistics troops carrying supplies, usually served by civilians and slaves, and were guarded by some warriors.
"This formation..."
Ella couldn't help but sigh. Although the voice was not loud, Tessomok, who had been walking in front, still heard it keenly. He slowed down and came to Ella's side, and smiled and said, "King of Sweden, are there any discomfort? We are allies. As long as it does not affect the situation of the war, you can ask for anything if you have any requests."
"Tesosomok, does Aztlan rarely defeat wars?"
"There are very few. Apart from the Northern Alliance that appeared this time and another empire further south, there are no powerful enemies around Aztland. The empire in the south is not adjacent to us, and there has been basically no conflict. Even the Black Springs tribe can't capture it for a long time and cannot be considered a failure."
Ella sighed again: "No wonder."
Never had an opponent of equal strength, so naturally there was no need to master any tactics or strategies. Therefore, the Sun King set up the magical long snake formation, and therefore, Tessosomok used such a formation to retreat.
"Is there any problem?"
"No."
Not discussing the matters related to the Northern Alliance, this was what Tesosomok herself asked. Ella did not cross the line. She just began to secretly think in her mind that there was no eye on the sword, and once Tesosomok's army was defeated, how could she escape herself?
"It's okay, King of Sweden." Tessosomuk was not aware of anything and was still comforting Ella, "I will give you freedom immediately after leaving the front line."
"Tratoani!" Another messenger ran over, his voice more urgent than the one before, "Get closer...get closer...!"
"What's approaching? Is the messenger of the Sun King?" Tessomok frowned, "Didn't you say whatever they want? We're marching, they'll catch up, even if we're chasing."
"No...No...No Sun King...It's the Northern Alliance...The Northern Alliance warships appeared on the river!"
"What did you say?"
