Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

The flames of the Thunder God Temple burned under the dark sky, like a torch in the hand of a giant, magnificent and soaring. The flames blazed brightly, consuming everything. Soon, all the screams of the end turned into black dust like the night, disappearing into the long wind by the seaside.

In this splendid night, the towering Feathered Serpent pyramid at the center of the City-State was the most outstanding "viewing platform," allowing one to see the fireworks of the old days effortlessly.

At this moment, the two observers on the "viewing platform" were the rulers of Golden Bay City, the scribes of the City-State's destiny. However, Miyava, having exerted herself and enduring for a long time, finally wrote the beginning of destiny but could not control the process. And now, under the cold gaze of Black Wolf Torc, she could barely hold the brush that wrote her tribal authority.

"Honorable Black Wolf Commander, the chieftains of the Eastern prisoners are detained in the underground black cells... Yoltzin, the chieftain of Conical House City, Mayakun, the chieftain of Coyote City, Teotlara, the chieftain of Ke Shi City, Toqina, the chieftain of Rabbit Hill City, Telako, the chieftain of Grass Altar City... These important City-State chiefdoms are being held separately and carefully monitored by my trusted aides. They can be handed over to you tomorrow..."

Serpent Mother Chieftain Miyava was pitiful and full of obedience and submission on her face. She bowed her head deeply in salute, exposing a snow-white neck and an equally fluctuating fullness. However, Black Wolf remained indifferent to her subtle allure and coldly commanded.

"Do not wait until tomorrow; hand them over to my trusted aide now! Otherwise, I'll have your trusted aide take me there. Anyone unwilling will be executed!"

"Honorable Black Wolf Commander, as per your will... But..."

Upon hearing this, Serpent Mother Chieftain Miyava hung her head, displaying a feeble posture. She was just about to say something, but Black Wolf interrupted unmercifully.

"Also, where is Qiqini's body? Hand it over to me!"

"Ah? My brother's body? It's underground in the temple, ready to be buried..."

The sudden request brought a halt to the expression on Serpent Mother Chieftain Miyava's face. She carefully scrutinized Black Wolf's gaze, trying to discern if he had any hidden intentions.

"Honorable Black Wolf Commander, why do you want my brother's body? According to the Tototanak people's customs, his remains will be buried beneath the temple, along with past chieftains..."

"Hmm... Although Qiqini died inexplicably, he managed to lead the Allied Forces, blocking me for a year. Indeed a worthy adversary!"

Upon saying this, Black Wolf Torc deeply regarded Miyava with a glance and spoke faintly.

"We Mexica Warriors always respect brave warriors and worthy opponents! His body can be buried in the temple as per custom. However, you must give me his head as a precious collection!"

"Ah? This!..."

The casual words of Black Wolf fell into Miyava's ears, causing the enchanting Serpent Mother Chieftain to tremble all over. Bowed down, she felt the coldly assessing gaze upon her, as if her own head were becoming a collectible war trophy. Under the threat of death, she silently pondered for a moment before responding softly.

"Yes!... As you command, Black Wolf Commander. I will now instruct my trusted aides to hand over the chieftains and my brother to you... However, the jurisdiction over the tribal warriors mostly lies with the chieftains and elders of various tribes. Even as a chieftain, I do not have the power to strip it away..."

"Witnessed by the Chief Divine! Miyava, I am giving you a chance to save your tribes!"

Black Wolf Torc raised his brows, his pure black eyes revealing a cold killing intent once more.

"The Kingdom's army has already entered the city! All surrendered troops in Golden Bay City must lay down their arms and be detained by the Kingdom Legion! Anyone daring to resist will be seen as an enemy of the Kingdom and executed immediately! Golden Bay Warriors who dare to rebel will also face execution!"

"The Chief God Priest accompanying the army is already preparing. Tomorrow morning, the grand conversion ceremony will be held outside the city! All captured Allied Forces must swear a blood oath in front of the Chief God's priest and convert to the Supreme Main God! The warriors of Golden Bay tribes must also participate in the conversion ceremony and pledge to the Chief Divine!"

"This is the judgment of the Chief Divine and the will of His Highness, not to be defied! The Totonaq Warriors will be the first to convert, followed by the tens of thousands of tribespeople in the city. Whoever refuses to swear a blood oath, refuses to offer their spirit, refuses to convert to the Chief Divine... regardless of their status and identity, will be sacrificed on the spot!"

Black Wolf's words were full of pure killing intent and determination for slaughter. He never cared how many enemies there were, as long as they were all killed! On his eastward campaign to this point, he had already killed hundreds and thousands of Tototanak Divine Descendants and priests!

Miyava kept her head down, pressing her red lips tightly, staying silent. She listened to Black Wolf's emotionless commands, watching his wolf-like eyes, knowing these threats were not empty.

"Alas!... Sacrifice and slaughter... Kill, kill, kill..."

The enchanting Serpent Mother Chieftain sighed, her face showing bitterness. Faced with the ruthless Black Wolf, she seemed as if she had encountered a predator, like a snake facing a wolf. Black Wolf had neither mercy nor conquest intent, nor any consideration for long-term governance of the tribes, only a pure desire for slaughter. Faced with such pure murderous intent, she could not halt his actions and felt powerless.

"The hurricane by the seaside strikes; since it cannot be stopped, it must be used to one's advantage..."

Silently biting her teeth, Miyava pondered for a moment, her face again showing a gentle smile. She reached into her bosom, bringing out a cotton scroll she had prepared long before, handing it to Black Wolf with both hands.

"Esteemed Black Wolf Chieftain, I will send my trusted aides to assist you in collecting the warriors of the Golden Bay Tribes... and here is the list of the traditionally stubborn Elders who are reluctant to open the city, along with the list of the most determined chieftains resisting the Kingdom's forces..."

The beautiful Serpent Mother Priestess smiled softly, revealing her white teeth.

"These people... are a token of the Golden Bay Tribe's surrender, all handed over to you to dispose of! And I am willing to, in tomorrow's Conversion Ceremony, represent the Golden Bay Tribe as the first to convert to the Chief Divine!"

"Very well!"

The Black Wolf Torc nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction. As he took the cotton book and casually opened it, his expression changed. For the first time, shock appeared on his cold face.

"Huh?! The first line is the pictographic text of the Tototanak tribes, and this second line... Miyava, you actually know the language of the Alliance?! And you can write so much!"

"Honored Black Wolf Commander-in-Chief, I have always been inclined towards the powerful Alliance, and revere the Supreme Main God! The 'Book of Ama Colley' issued by the Alliance years ago, I studied diligently for half a year and can recite the whole thing..."

"What?! Chief Divine as my witness! You only studied for half a year and can recite the entire 'Book of Ama Colley'?... Does His Highness know?..."

Miyava smiled charmingly. However, seeing the sudden intense killing intent on Black Wolf's icy stiff face, she couldn't help but shudder and cautiously replied.

"Uh! Well... Black Wolf Commander-in-Chief, the Alliance's language is very difficult, I only learned a little. As for the Alliance's 'Book of Ama Colley', I studied it for a year, oh no, a year and a half... and only remembered maybe a quarter, no two-thirds..."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Miyava's explanation, the expression of Black Wolf Torc finally eased. He looked at her blankly and ordered without emotion.

"After the Conversion Ceremony, hand over the Sun God and Feathered Serpent Divine temples! The Kingdom wants to tear down the statues of the Fake Gods and erect the emblem of the Chief Divine!"

"Yes!... I will represent the tribe and personally topple the statues of the old gods..."

With her head bowed, Miyava agreed respectfully, her demeanor exceedingly gentle under Black Wolf's icy threat. However, with her obediently downcast eyes, countless thoughts surged in her mind, transforming into a strong desire.

The power of the Golden Bay Tribes had just come into her hands, how could she simply let herself be at the mercy of others and give it away? Yet, to break through the current predicament, she could not begin with the killing intent driven Black Wolf Commander-in-Chief....

The beautiful Serpent Mother Chieftain pondered for a moment, then respectfully proposed before Black Wolf Torc left.

"Honored Black Wolf Chieftain, I have some precious gifts I wish to present to His Supreme Highness..."

"Before the Golden Bay City is purged and secure, His Highness will not enter the city!"

Black Wolf Torc squinted, gauging the graceful and stunning Miyava, and coldly said.

"His Highness's safety is above all! All gifts must go through thorough inspection by His Highness's trusted aides! Serpent Mother Chieftain, you better choose the gifts carefully, if there's anything amiss, I will personally cut off your head!"

"Yes... rest assured..."

Listening to Black Wolf's merciless threat, Miyava nodded respectfully, but her resolve only grew stronger.

"Chief Divine as my witness! My gift will certainly please His Highness..."

"It better be so!"

Black Wolf raised his head, holding the cotton book of death lists, glanced at Miyava momentarily, and led his trusted aides in striding away.

With her head down, Miyava looked at her feet, watching a small ant tirelessly crawling, seemingly searching for a path to the top of the pyramid. Not far away, the blazing fire still burned atop the city's eastern pyramid, and what was the point of the ant's effort?

"Because she doesn't want to be easily crushed dead... she wants to reach the heights, no matter what it takes..."

On this brightly lit night, Serpent Mother Chieftain Miyava murmured to herself, standing atop the Pyramid Temple, gazing into the distance. She watched the city full of fire and smoke, observed the flood of the Mexica legion, as if wanting to imprint everything unforgettable deeply in her memory. Then, she lightly raised her heel and gently lowered it, bringing an abrupt end to the ant's effort.
