Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

Chapter 1227 - 788: The Army Strikes, March to the Mudbrick Fort!

The Wolf Banner fluttered, and the sound of copper armor clanged. In just a few days, nearly ten thousand troops were fully mobilized. Black Wolf personally led this elite legion, advancing north for over twenty miles from River Bend Fort, heading directly towards the Adobe Fort southeast of Golden Bay City!"By the witness of the Chief Divine! The two thousand-strong Imperial Guard Legion, with one thousand in copper armor! A thousand-strong Artillery Camp with ten Sun Divine Eagle Cannons and ten God of Thunder Mortars! The three thousand skilled archers of the Guajili Legion, of which five hundred have copper armor, plus three thousand Totonac Tribal Army carrying ladders for the siege... With nine thousand elite troops in hand, breaking the Totonac Allied Forces is as easy as crushing a turkey with bare hands!"

Black Wolf Torc was full of pride as he ascended a small hill along the way. He personally carried the Commander’s Flag, surveyed the nine thousand troops before and after, eyes brimming with confidence. His gaze was sharp, scanning from the rear to the front, first glancing over the three thousand surrendered troops, then pausing at the Artillery Camp.

"Thirty-pound heavy guns! It’s truly like thunder!"

Black Wolf showed admiration, his thoughts drifting far. Even after several days, he couldn’t forget the initial shock of witnessing the God of Thunder Mortar in action! Then, his gaze moved forward, taking a moment to observe the Armored Guards of the Central Army, knowing they were hardened killers, steadfast in faith.

"By the witness of Chief Divine! His Highness’s Imperial Guard is undoubtedly powerful and brave, devout and fearless... but the Dog Descendant Warriors I personally trained are not much inferior!..."

Thinking this, Black Wolf straightened his back, gazing at the three thousand vanguard Guajili Warriors. These Dog Descendant Warriors carried greatbows and had bronze axes at their waists, faces calm and accustomed to killing. Their formation was slightly loose, with squads of scouts running ahead. At this moment, the legion’s scouts were engaging in skirmishes with the scouts of the Totonac people.

Feathered arrows flew, and javelins whistled. After a brief skirmish between the teams of scouts on both sides, the Totonac left more than twenty corpses and wounded, hurriedly retreating. The Kingdom’s scouts promptly advanced, interrogating a few people, and returned with confirmed information.

"By the witness of the Chief Divine! Garrisoning the three Adobes is the legion from Hidden Snake City, with seven thousand Samurai and Militia! And the Grand Chieftain of Hidden Snake City, Quetzal Coatl, is currently stationed at the main fortress, commanding over two hundred warboats!"

"Good! The Grand Chieftain of Hidden Snake City, Quetzal!"

Upon hearing this, Black Wolf Torc felt invigorated, joyed by the prospect of battle. The Lord of East Totonac Tribes, the Grand Chieftain of Hidden Snake City, Quetzal, personally sitting in the Adobe Fort. Undoubtedly, the warriors stationed there must be the elite of the tribes in the East.

"Blessed by the Chief Divine! Speed up the march! I, Black Wolf Torc, must capture this prestigious prey!"

Nine thousand troops, brimming with momentum, continued their march north along the wide, flat riverbank, which facilitated their movement. The Totonac scouts on land were thoroughly suppressed and reluctant to advance. However, their warboats continued upstream along the Adobe River, spying on the Kingdom Legion.housand troops hustled, setting camp on the north side of the Adobe Fort. Golden Bay City was to the north of the encampment, while the Adobe Fort lay to the south, requiring nightly patrols and defensive warrior squads on both fronts.

Black Wolf, clad in leather armor, slept a night without encountering any Totonac night raids. Upon the early dawn of the second day, he rose swiftly, convening the army officers and sternly ordered.

"Blessed by the Chief Divine! Prepare breakfast! In three quarters of an hour, all must finish eating! In two hours, the army will officially attack the fort! These two small forts must be eradicated today!"

Hearing the command, Artillery Camp Commander Tupa showed delight. Watching the newly arrived heavy guns in the camp, he was eager, longing to personally direct the shoot.

"Commander Black Wolf, when does our Artillery Camp move out?"

"Artillery Camp... heavy guns..."

Black Wolf pondered for a moment, shaking his head.

"Today, when attacking the small forts, their walls are low, and the Artillery Camp remains unmoved!... Lest the Grand Chieftain of Hidden Snake City, Quetzal, is scared off initially! He has a squadron. If he escapes, leaving the main force, we can’t catch him..."

Saying this, he turned and looked at the two Tekos-style Imperial Guard Commanders, instructing them firmly.

"Stone Spear Bo Sa, Throwing Spear Ata! Each of you will lead a Thousand-man Camp of throwing vanguards, ready the Divine Power Globes for throwing, and attack the two small forts! I will arrange for two Guajili recruitment camps for archery cover; and two Totonac conscription camps, to pave the attack path for you!"

"By the witness of the Chief Divine! We won’t give you the time to grow! You are out of time!"

The two Tekos Commanders, filled with devotion, loudly prayed in response. Then, they turned without looking back, heading into the camp to mobilize. Soon, the fervent hymn of fiery prayers resonated within the throwing vanguard camps!
