[196] The sixth finger(1/2)
Ah, oh." Zhou Weiguo's thoughts were interrupted and he was separated from that mysterious contemplation.
In an instant, all the things I had been thinking about the previous moment were cleared away.
Because I didn't have any clue.
"I'm distracted."
He looked at Quiztitco and saw that the old servant could stand up and was no longer trembling and weak.
Niu Shi said in Aztec language that was more proficient than Zhou Weiguo: "Have you rested well?"
"Praise the true God, and praise your mercy." The humility shown by the old servant is not offensive, because it reveals sincerity.
No matter what others thought, he came with a godly heart.
As he had previously persuaded the city lord, the army of judgment had arrived and there was no point in hiding.
It is life and death, both are under judgment.
Rather than being frightened, it is better to show sincerity.
Therefore, when he came to this large army formation, he was more shocked than frightened.
Niu Shi and Zhou Weiguo also reacted to his emotional feedback.
"This old man is not that simple. He seems neither humble nor overbearing. He is quite like Didymar."
"From this point of view, people from the city-state alliance should not be underestimated."
The two communicated using the "laws of language" and were secretly frightened.
Immediately, he took the old man to another awning.
The battle group leaders and law monks such as Keng Shan had been waiting for a long time. When the old man entered, all eyes were on him.
But Shanshan did not ask questions, but looked at the cow shit: "I can't understand their language, so you come to ask..."
"The law monk is the translator."
"yes."
On the way, I thought of my words and tried to reassure myself, "This is the chief judge and the leaders of the army of judgment. You don't need to panic. You just need to state the true words..."
"You must know that our Lord is watching everything in the world. If you tell lies, you will be punished in the future."
The old man nodded solemnly and became serious.
Niu Shi asked: "How many people are there in the hill city? What do they do for a living? In return for the scouts of my army of judgment, have you already surrendered to my lord, Balance?"
The old man answered: "The population of Shanshan City is 7,013. They cultivate farmland on the mountain and down the mountain, with corn as the main food. They also cultivate cocoa forests on the hillside, and the cocoa beans are produced and traded in cities in the south."
"In addition to various caravans, the hill city also has its own caravan team. I was the leader of the caravan many years ago."
"It is precisely because of this that the various ministries have a close relationship with the hill city, and the news of the arrival of the divine envoys spread to the city..."
"The city lord has long been looking forward to the arrival of the god's glory. After hearing the good news, he gathered the people of the city all night long to search here in order to welcome the arrival of the army."
The words fell apart.
There is no room for whispering in the shed.
"They grow crops as their staple food. Can they eat enough with that shriveled corn?"
"What are cocoa beans?"
"The hill city cannot be taught by my Lord, but it is also balanced with me. It counts the number of people. Otherwise, how can the number be zero and round?"
This is the first collision between two civilizations, and comparisons are inevitable.
Everyone here has seen the prosperity of the city in the lake, and has countless desires to explore and learn about this alliance of city-states.
Niu Shi and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other and paused briefly.
Then Zhou Weiguo asked: "Why do you accurately count the number of people in your mountain city? What are the pros and cons of doing so?"
The old man didn't think about it, just answered the question, "The hill city is respected by the Tepanix country, and the great powers are constantly fighting. The Aztecs are extremely good at fighting, and they overwhelm the jungle land further south, Tlaxcala."
"."
"The tribesmen from the forest did not build city-states and were regarded as barbarians; the Aztecs went to war for the Tepanix country, obtained serfs for labor and sacrifice in the jungle, and brokered transactions with the cities."
Zhou Weiguo said: "What does this have to do with the population statistics of your mountain city?"
The old man cried and laughed: "Every year, the country of Tepanix issues a conscription order, and the people of my hill city are severely tortured."
"Most of the soldiers who were recruited never returned, and were used as vanguards by both countries, consuming the Tlaxcala people's combat power."
"Even those who come back often suffer from injuries and disabilities."
"The people are counted for the purpose of recruiting soldiers. In the war years, five families will select one male, and in the small war years, one male will be selected from every ten families! Those who return from injury or illness will be exempted from conscription for five years!"
"O messenger of God, this is why we are looking forward to the coming of the gods to save us from suffering. Only a peaceful life is our greatest joy."
The words fell.
The shed was already bursting into flames.
The law monk also translated the words to Shanshan and others.
Fighting Crocodile was inexplicably angry, "Are you going to obey when they call for help? Why don't you resist?"
Translated by Law Monk.
The old man was helpless: "The Aztecs had an army of 30,000, including more than 5,000 Leopard Warriors, who were famous in every city!"
"The State of Tepanix claims to have an army of 100,000 people, but the Aztecs are just a powerful city under their command. How can I, with only 7,000 people in the mountain city, be able to fight against them?"
Some people sighed because of this, "My Lord, praise the balance!"
"This is a testimony to the proverbs of our Lord!"
"The south of this earth is a bad land! The prosperity we have seen before is all false!"
"Everything in that prosperous city is built on the suffering of all sentient beings!"
"For this reason, we should carry the balanced holy name of our Lord, hold high the sword of judgment, cut off the consequences of sin, and purify evil with balanced glory."
"In the name of balance!"
"In the name of balance!"
The crowd shouted and their blood boiled.
Although the old man didn't understand the meaning of his words, he felt for the first time the strength he could rely on from the crowd's emotions, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
In contrast, Niu Shi and Zhou Weiguo are relatively calm.
The former asked: "What is the attitude of each city towards my army of judgment? How many cities are willing to surrender?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know, my hill city was the first to know the news of the arrival of the army, and there must be detailed operations in each city in the hill city. After we leave the city, the news should spread."
"To the due south, there is the Sea Crow City. The city is built here closest to the waters of the river. It relies on the power of the water and ships to be able to defend itself from infringement. This is why it is independent."
"Going southwest, you will reach the territory of the Kingdom of Tepanix, where you will station your troops in thirty-four cities."
"If a large army enters our hill city, the hill city can send envoys to let all cities know the good news of the arrival of God's army. If there is repentance, those who believe in the true God will surely surrender."
Niu Shi said: "It's not urgent!"
"Can the hill city accommodate my 40,000-strong army of judgment?"
The old man nodded, "If it is enough to use the mountains as a camp, we can also allow the people to move out for the gods' envoys to live."
The words end here.
Niu Shi turned to climb the mountain, "President, you can go to the hill city first and then make plans!"
"Now that the news of the Army of Judgment has spread, if there are those who are willing to submit to the Balance, they can be recruited and there will be no need to fight!"
"It can also test the attitude of each city and make corresponding judgments on crimes and punishments."
Mountain climbing agrees: "Yes."
Turning his head again, he issued a military order, "The army marches quickly and stays in the city on the hill tonight!"
The army mobilized quickly.
This is a temporary pause and moves very quickly.
Quiztitco saw the sergeants taking out tools he didn't recognize, deftly dismantling two awnings, and placing the materials on another huge "wooden frame."
The wooden frame is supported by two huge "circles" on both sides.
He is observing.
Two young men have come to his side again, "I am "Zhou Weiguo" and he is "Zhou Liangchen". I still don't know your name?"
The old man showed respect again, "How dare I call the envoy of God by his name? My name is Queztitko."
"Quiztitco?" Niu Shi was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Weiguo said: "What's wrong?"
"Quiztitco means "golden tree."
"I know, is there anything special about this?"
The two communicated encryptedly, and the old man could only wait blankly.
Cow shit said: "Before I was given a name, I was cow shit. Even now, people who are familiar with me call me that. What was your name before you were given a name?"
Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I know, when you were born, the patriarch stepped on bison dung, so you got your name!"
"..." Niu Shi: "So what's your name?"
"you do not know?"
"have no idea."
