"Tracopan is located to the west of Lake Tescoco, in the lakeside swamp northwest of Tenochititland, and to the south of him is Askapocharcoban where I belong," said Bjorn.

"So close?" Amy was slightly curious. "So we have approached there several times before? Why haven't you mentioned it to me? The merchant didn't draw this city-state in the map given to me."

"When the rebels first gathered, I paid attention to Trakopan's actions, but they just wanted to protect themselves like other city-states." Bjorn said, "In terms of political influence, Trakopan was far lower than the two city-states Tenochtitlan and Tescoco in the empire; in terms of trade, it relies on the tribute of the states to obtain specialties, and has no desire to do business abroad; in terms of military strength, he is also weaker than Tenochtitlan and Tescoco. Although he is a member of the Three-state Alliance, he has become weak and has no special value to pay attention to."

"I haven't heard of any other powerful guys in Trakopan except their Trakopan, as well as the leader of the Leopard Warrior and the Eagle Warrior." Sitralmina added, "I even heard that Teskobon almost couldn't choose a magician of the Second Age to be the leader of the Leopard Warrior. In the end, he finally relied on buying a large number of slaves from outside and consuming his heart, and finally he piled up an Izkoyatel."

"The leopard warrior and the leader of the Eagle warrior under Tessomok were killed in Britain. Tessomok is now with His Majesty again." Amy thought, "In that case, you can really try attacking Trakopan."

"I'll attack!" Bjorn said rushingly.

"No-I will take the big army here in person." Amy replied, "If you are near Tenochtitlan, it means that Tracopan is not far from Tescoco. Just go there."

"Just go along the way..."

Amy's reaction made Bjorn feel ashamed. From the assassination of Ragna to the later assassination of Nessaval Kojoter, he had been using sneaky methods when encountering a strong enemy. However, this method was just an alternative solution to Amy. He couldn't figure out which one of him or Amy was the pirates robbed in the world and which was the maid who was buried in the palace.

The mentioned Trakopanbang is now in the city.

They had received news of Tesosomok's death in battle a long time ago. However, at that time, Aztlan was trapped in the vortex of the fight between the rebels and Nesawarkoyotel, and no other city-state except Trakopan himself cared about the news. Until now, they welcomed the first group of people to pay their respects - the envoys sent by Nesawarkoyotel.

It is actually not accurate to say that the messenger came to pay his respects, because the messenger did not bring any gifts, but instead brought an army of thousands of people. Several elders in charge of the city-state received them outside the city with suspicion, and on the city behind them, the soldiers were fully armed and ready to defend the city.

They saw that in the center of the army of thousands, there was a cage covered with black cloth. The cage was quiet, but judging from its size and the posture of the army escorting it, there must be a terrible beast inside.

"There has been a lot of peace in the empire recently," said the envoy. "Our Tratoani let us assist the guards of Trakopanbon."

An elder responded unhappily: "The guardian Trakopan has the power to protect himself, and you don't need the care of yourselves."

"What do you mean?" said the messenger. "Our Tratoani knows that your Tratoani is dead in battle, and is worried that you will be attacked by the rebels. He regards you as allies, and finally draws this team!"

Another elder interrupted the envoy coldly: "Don't treat us as idiots. Although there is a turmoil in the empire, the latest batch of food transported to the front line of the northern battlefield has been prepared, right? Where has your Tratoani been transferred? Tescoco has violated the covenant of the three states! After the Sun King withdrew with his army, you will wait for liquidation!"

"Old man, it's not you who are fighting the rebellion everywhere, but our Tescobon." The messenger said coldly, "The fire of war has burned all over Aztland, and our Tratoani has no extra staff. If you hadn't had important secrets here, he wouldn't have sent us!"

"Is it the secret recipe for incense? No need to worry!" an elder said angrily, "We Trakopanbang people are also bones. If we really reach the point where the city-state is captured, all those who know this secret will go to the temple of the Sun God of War before being captured!"

Seeing that the group of Trakopan's men were so persistent, the messenger had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After watching Tescoco's army leave, the group of elders turned to the city, and a group of people entered the Temple of the Sun War in the middle of the city-state. There, three young men with extraordinary dignity were kneeling on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the elders. Next to them, dozens of priests stood, from the black robe priests of the lowest class to the two green robe priests of the highest class, all the priests of Trakopan had gathered around the three young men.

Seeing the elders walking into the temple, one of the green robe priests pointed his hand at the three young men: "Elders, all the trials have been completed, and the last of them are these three people, Awutmok, Yayawuquiy, and Axiayawutel."

"Is there actually three people?"

The elders nodded with satisfaction. The three young people kneeling on the ground were all the royal families of Trakopan. According to the customs of the city-state, after the death of the previous Tratoani, the successors will be selected by the Presbyterians from the royal candidates who passed the trial. These trials test the courage and intelligence of the candidates and are extremely challenging. When Trakopan was still prosperous, there were only four candidates who passed all the trials. Now three people have passed these trials, and this generation of royal families is also considered to be a talented person.

"Tratoani is not only a status, but also a responsibility. The city-state will do all its financial and material resources to improve his magic level to the second era, so that he can truly become the strongest warrior of the city-state. At the same time, he will also learn all the secrets of the city-state. He needs to help the city-state prosper and resist the enemy with the city-state. If necessary, he will also make self-sacrifice in order to safeguard the city-state's interests and keep the city-state's secrets." An elder sternly warned the three young men on the ground, "If you feel that you can't bear all this, you can now voluntarily withdraw from the campaign."

The three candidates looked at each other and no one chose to quit.

"You are all very strong. But there is only one person who can become Tratoani in the end." An elder said seriously. "Now Tenochtitlan has been destroyed, Tescoko has been defeated, and there are rebellions in various places. The Aztlan Empire is undergoing unprecedented huge changes. If the new Tratoani can seize the opportunity and turn the tide, it is very likely that Tracopan will surpass Tenochtitlan and Tescoko and truly rule the empire. Therefore, you need to be very cautious in selecting people."
