Chapter 935: Chapter 544: Death Under the Dawn

The East was still dark, and the night was deep. Shadows swayed and fled within the Mexica camp, weapons clashing. Occasionally, someone screamed and fell, transforming into silent corpses. Blood sprayed freely, even turning the air sweet and metallic. The flames of the roaring bonfire flickered, illuminating samurai clad in armor; the legendary flags torn, instigating chaotic shouts!

The night raid came suddenly, plunging the entire camp into chaos. The battle conducted in the dark tested not the numbers, but organization and tenacity. The city-state militia were blind at night, fleeing in terror, breaking down in panic. But the Mexica warriors from different families scattered, huddling together, guarding the noble flags of legacy, battling wildly under the moon. The largest and fiercest battle group was located centrally at the back of the camp, the place of the legion’s commander.

The tall banner of Tzompantli fluttered fiercely in the darkness. Elite Cloud Serpent warriors and Tzompantli warriors yelled the same language, fighting brutally in close quarters. The warriors’ shouts boiled like spring water, and even their bodies splashed crimson red. At this moment of chaos, a piercing lightning bolt suddenly struck, hitting the Tzompantli clan leader who was high above, holding up his scepter and shouting loudly, right through his heart!

"Clang!"

The sharp clash of metal rang out instantaneously, causing everyone to tremble!

Xochitl felt a sharp pain in the heart, his expression suddenly changed. The force behind this arrow was enormous! He staggered back two steps, collapsed onto the ground with a "crash," even the spine hurt terribly.

"Whizz!"

"Ah!"

Yet another arrow flew through the air, brushed past Xochitl’s beast helmet, hitting his trusted aide behind him. The elder Legion Commander turned sharply, even dropping the splendid beast helmet, revealing greying hair.

"Family Head!"

"Legion Commander!"

Seeing the commander attacked, the surrounding Tzompantli trusted aides panicked, turning frantically to assist. The Mexica warriors, unaware of the commander’s fate, felt the battle group become unstable, showing signs of breaking apart.

"The Mexica Commander is dead! The Mexica Commander is dead!"

The Tlaxcala warriors of the night raid rejoiced immensely, shouting urgently. Although few in number, their morale was extremely high, carried by a determined courage. At this moment, they wielded their war clubs with all their might, desperately thrusting forward, seizing the moment to scatter the hundreds of resilient trusted aides.

"Get back!"

Commander Xochitl sat on the ground, shouting angrily. His hair was in disarray, a copper arrow lodged in his chest, looking especially miserable.

"Family Head!"

Dozens of Tzompantli trusted aides rushed forward anxiously, nearly forming a wall around Xochitl.

"I’m fine! All of you, get back and continue fighting!"

Xochitl reached in, probing under the luxurious war clothes to touch the cold, solid metal beneath the layer of soft cotton armor. He searched around his heart for a while before exhaling with certainty. The copper arrow had penetrated the fabric but was blocked by the bronze armor plate underneath, barely damaging the armor plate without piercing through the flesh.

"Thank the Chief Divine! I’ve fought all my life, and without this high-priced bronze medium armor, I’d be done for today!"

Xochitl abruptly pulled out the copper arrow from his armor and threw it forcefully to the ground. Then, he donned the beast helmet symbolizing honor, and with the support of the family Head Warrior Texiwhit, stood up strongly, reappearing before the Mexica warriors.

"Thank the Chief Divine! Warriors blessed by the divine, fear no vile arrows!"

Xochitl glared fiercely towards the direction from which the copper arrow had come. Fifty steps away, more than a hundred elite Cloud Serpent warriors, led by a caped Great General wielding a Greatbow, were fiercely attacking this way.

Seeing this, Family Head Warrior Texiwhit immediately raised his Great Shield, carefully protecting the Family Head in the direction of the threat. Meanwhile, Tzompantli Legion Commander, with reddened eyes, raised his scepter and pointed sharply that way, shouting fiercely to the trusted aides.

"Despicable Tlaxcala, daring to ambush the divine descendants! Go, my warriors! Kill! Kill them in offering to the Chief Divine!"

"Kill! Kill them, offer them to the Chief Divine!"

Seeing the commander unscathed, hundreds of Tzompantli trusted aides instantly regained their spirits and ignited the will to fight. They swung their war clubs again, refusing to retreat, fiercely entangled with the charging Cloud Serpent warriors.

Honorable noble Xochitl, being the most revered divine descendant in the Tzompantli City, was also the true leader of the city-state army. He had commanded the legion for twenty years or so, known for his decisive authority and renowned prestige. As long as he stood here, the city-state warriors would not easily collapse.

"Damn it!"

Cloud Serpent Hunter Telavito gritted his teeth, muttering a curse. He had prepared for this chance carefully ensuring the first arrow fired when the opponent was unguarded. To increase accuracy, he aimed at the heart, using copper arrows smuggled from the Alliance. But upon hearing the metallic sound as the copper arrow struck, he immediately realized something was wrong, hastily firing a second compensating arrow, but alas...

"Damn it! He must be wearing that sturdy copper armor!... Really damn it! What has happened to the Mexicas in recent years, there is so much new equipment!"

Telavito bit down hard, breaking his lip, feeling the bloody pain, his chest filled with murderous intent. The Mexica legion was in chaos during the night raid; if the opposing commander could be killed and loudly acclaimed, it could even completely disperse these thousands!

"Warriors of Cloud Serpent, charge with me! Kill the opposing commander!"
