Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!"

The Divine Might was magnificent, and Divine Thunder descended. The fervent Vanguard Samurai hurled the Divine Power Globes, and the terrifying thunder echoed above the two small fortresses, exploding with such force that shards of pottery flew like blades, igniting flames, black smoke, mists of blood, and wails on the fortress walls!

"Oh, Gods! What is this?..."

Atop the main fortress wall, Chief Kua She's eyes widened instantly, heart clenched tightly, then pounding fiercely. Through the gradually dispersing smoke, he beheld the sad state of the two small fortresses, watching hundreds of wailing, dying warriors, his body began to tremble.

"This is the Evil God! It's the evil power of the Volcano Demons! The cursed Mexica will suddenly perish, just like the people of Teotihuacan!..."

The Feathered Serpent Priests on the city walls inhaled the divine smoke, shouting frantically, dancing the sacrificial dance with wild abandon, trying to stabilize the morale on the main fortress wall. Whether it was the Totonac Warriors stationed on the fortress wall, or the elite warriors waiting to attack below the wall, all were pale and trembling under the "Divine Might" of the explosion.

In the world of Central America, for the tribes devoutly believing in the Divine, this mysterious fear of the unknown was far more demoralizing to the samurai militia than its actual lethal power!

"Chief Divine! After using the new granulated gunpowder, the thrown Divine Power Globes... The power has at least doubled!"

Witnessing the devastation of the two small fortresses, Black Wolf Torc raised his eyebrows, eyes filled with surprise, heart equally shaken.

Due to the increased power of the new gunpowder, more than ten of the over a hundred Vanguard Samurai throwing the Divine Power Globes got too close and were instantly killed within three steps of the explosion. Black Wolf understood clearly that no matter how fierce he was, even clad in heavy armor, he could not escape such a terrifying explosion at close range!

"In the face of the new Divine Revelation Weapon... the era of warriors is gradually coming to an end..."

Black Wolf murmured as he watched a thousand copper-armored Vanguard Imperial Guards climb the smoke-filled walls. The Guards swung their bronze axes, slaying dozens of madly resisting Totonac Warriors. What followed was a large surrender of the Defending Army, with over a thousand in fear and despair.

More of the Kingdom's Warriors poured into the fortress, cheers, and cries echoing to the heavens. As dusk approached, the Chief Divine's banner was raised on the two small fortresses, a large number of prisoners were escorted out, and the morale of the mud-brick main fortress' Defending Army plummeted to its lowest.

"Blessings of the Chief Divine! It's getting dark, tonight have two Thousand-man Camps guard the two small fortresses! Tomorrow, dispatch the grand army to take down the last main fortress!"

Black Wolf's lips curved up, listening to the report of his trusted aide Wuta, giving orders for tomorrow's plan. In this battle, half of the Defending Army in the two small fortresses were severely wounded and killed, and half lightly wounded and captured. The Totonac conscription camp lost over three hundred people, gaining one thousand defectors.

"If this continues, the defectors from the tribes will keep increasing... Hmm, seeing today's battle, I hope the big fish in the main fortress doesn't get scared away!..."

As darkness enveloped the land, torches were lit atop the mud-brick main fortress, and an ominous shadow filled Chief Kua She's heart, his body chilled.

"Oh, Gods! Both small fortresses fell after just one day! The Mexica have allied with the Volcano Demons, wielding such terrifying Divine Power Weapons... I fear I cannot hold for ten days or half a month..."

Recalling the day's explosions, Chief Kua She was filled with dread. He couldn't comprehend the thunderbolts and could only see it as the power of demons. Within a single day, all his confidence in defending the fortress and resolve to fight to the end had vanished. The urge to retreat had never been more intense in his heart.

"The hall of the God of Death spreads death... One cannot fight against Divine Power, but should avoid it from afar..."

Chief Kua She inhaled a roll of divine smoke, trying to calm his anxious heart, pondering the next steps to take.

"Once the mud-brick fortress falls, the main forces of the various warrior kingdoms around Golden Bay City will likely be lost here! The five thousand Hidden Snake Warriors at my disposal also need time to retreat in batches..."

"No! I must dispatch an envoy overnight, notify the allied forces by water route. Mobilize hundreds of war boats from the allied forces, transport the reinforcements of each tribe to defend this camp. Then, replace the warriors of my Hidden Serpent Holy City with them, retreat them across the Great River! The Eastern tribes must maintain the retreat route here and withdraw in batches!"

"We must continue to hold! At least for five more days! Hmm... Let the priests inspire overnight, gather all the archers! Set up barricades on the wall, pile up mud overnight to guard against the Mexica's 'Divine Power Globes'..."

That night, Chief Kua She tossed and turned, chaos filling the mud-brick fortress. Yet some miles away, Black Wolf slept soundly.

By the following morning, the Kingdom's grand camp was bustling once more. As the cooking smoke just cleared, large groups of warriors lined up in formation. Black Wolf Torc ascended the small fortress, gazing at the main fortress wall a mile away, and met the gaze of Chief Kua She, who wore a Feather Crown.

According to the traditions of each tribe, the fiercer the war, the grander the scale, the more splendid and imposing the clothes of the Commander-in-Chief, who appeared valiantly before the mighty army!

"Blessings of the Chief Divine! I will offer him the most revered sacrifices!"

Black Wolf Torc smiled, once again signaling the gesture of sacrifice. Chief Kua She pressed his lips in silence, turned his head, inspecting the defenses on the wall.

Wooden gates and panels were erected on both wooden walls to shield against arrows, layers of mud and sand were piled to guard against fire, along with heavy stones and rolling logs. Numerous archers stood behind the walls. After a night of inspiration from the priests, though the Defending Army's complexion was worn out, their fighting spirit remained.

"Ah! This Chief Kua She is capable of such defense... He can be considered a skilled war leader!"

Black Wolf Torc observed for a while, his expression turning solemn. He nodded from afar to the Feather Crowned Chieftain opposite him, making a gesture of commendation. Then, before the Kingdom Warriors arrayed in one camp after another, Commander-in-Chief Black Wolf's lips curled as he waved a grand golden flag!

"Blessings of the Chief Divine! We drive the divine Copper Beast to destroy the enemies of the Divine War!"

Artillery Camp Commander Tupa led the prayers, and hundreds of artillerymen and militia echoed the cries. Then, under the cover of a thousand Armored Guards, ten Thunder God mortar cannons and ten Sun Divine Eagle Cannons were pushed forward to the main fortress. Each cannon, be it broad or narrow, aimed at the fortress walls where Chief Kua She stood!

"Blessings of the Chief Divine! He grants us Divine Power to strike our enemies!"

Commander Tupa prayed again, as the artillerymen busily got to work. Stone rounds were loaded, the muzzles sealed, fuses pulled out, then torches raised. Everything was orderly, well-trained.

On the mud-brick fortress, Chief Kua She's brow furrowed deeply, as a strong sense of dread surged in his heart. He stood behind a sturdy wooden shield, guarded by dozens of trusted aides, yet felt no sense of security. He watched the copper beasts flashing golden light, recalling the legendary thundering of the Copper Beasts, half in suspicion, half in hesitation. He observed the artillerymen opposite lighting the cannons, pale blue smoke rising from the muzzles, and suddenly his eyelids twitched furiously, mindlessly muttering to himself.

"Oh, Gods! I have a foreboding! ... Omen of doom..."

Before his words ceased, the ominous thunder roared explosively, rushing straight at him!

"Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom!..."
