Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Over a hundred fully drawn greatbows, slightly lifted, released arrows of bronze. The fierce rain of arrows, carrying the whistle of death, swiftly struck!

"Ah! Ugh! Hahaha!..."

A dozen Xi Wu warriors at the front were instantly pierced by copper arrows, screaming as they fell to the ground! These were arrows the Maya warriors had never seen in thousands of years, able to penetrate their wooden armor straight through! With a slight disruption in formation, the Xi Wu warriors called for divine protection and continued to charge forward.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A few breaths later, the second volley of feathered arrows once again fiercely attacked, killing another dozen warriors amidst screams. By this time, the shouting Xi Wu warriors had already gotten within thirty paces, starting to throw darts. The Prepecha archers remained calm, aiming at the vital points of the Maya warriors, releasing the most precise third volley of arrows!

"Swish! Swish, swish!"

Loud, tragic screams instantly rose from the charging formation! As many as twenty or thirty Xi Wu warriors were struck in the neck, falling dead. More Xi Wu warriors were injured by arrows, giving out cries of anger and fear. Three rounds of arrows in mere moments. The glaring red already sprinkled like "demon tails," blossoming into flowers of blood on the desolate earth.

"Heavenly Serpent Divine! Please protect us! Slay the enemy!"

The warriors of the Xiu family shouted prayers, raising their weapons in charge, feet never halting. They had never faced such shooting before engagement. Yet the momentum from years of victorious battles still maintained their morale. Large groups of Xi Wu warriors charged within twenty paces, shouting as they threw javelins and darts from their hands!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The sky filled with whistling obsidian javelins, carrying a heavy piercing sound. Hui Tu Puapu's expression tightened as he quickly raised the copper-plated shield on his left arm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The violent impacts sounded several times, finally breaking through the copper surface, piercing the wooden board inside. Puapu's right hand sank, forcing him to drop the shield embedded with a javelin. Then, three more short-pointed darts hit his copper armor, causing sharp pain in his chest!

"Damn it! Cursed Mayans!"

Puapu gritted his teeth, cursing angrily. Only then did he realize that he was wearing the captain's copper armor today, wearing a striking eagle feather crown, looking like an important leader. The Huitu warrior spat twice, threw down the big bow in his hand, picked up the bronze spear in front of him, and shouted fiercely.

"Archers fall back and continue shooting! Spearmen charge forward, stab these mad dogs! Chief Divine's protection, fight for the divine!"

"Chief Divine's protection, fight for the divine!"

More than a hundred Prepecha warriors shouted in unison, splitting into bow and spear teams. Then, dozens of kingdom warriors with long spears, accompanied by fifty Vastec warriors and over a hundred Putun warriors, shouted and launched a desperate charge!

"Heavenly Serpent Divine's protection!"

The opposing Xi Wu warriors also formed a long line, facing each other, raising obsidian spears, charging equally fiercely. Twenty paces, ten paces, five paces!... The two spear-bearing teams charged directly at each other under the blood-red sunset!

"Bang! Bang!"

Two hundred gleaming bronze spears, reflecting cold light under the sunset, traced low arcs, then fiercely pierced into the wooden armor on the chests of the Xi Wu warriors, continuing to penetrate with a "thunk." An equal number of obsidian spears, also slanted and forcefully thrust, struck the leather armor on the waists of the kingdom warriors, creating a grating "sizzle."

"Thunk! Sizzle!"

Warriors from both sides gritted their teeth, stabbing out their spears, forcefully pushing forward! At this moment, it was up to the divine and the armor on their bodies to decide each other's life and death!

"Snap!..."

Dozens of sturdy wooden shafts even broke during the fierce combat. This fiercest charge, lasting only a dozen breaths, directly claimed the lives of hundreds of warriors! Warriors from both sides, with reddened eyes, abandoned broken spears, continuing to fight each other. The cruel casualties, every moment, continued to accumulate!

"Oh, Heavenly Serpent Divine! This, this is impossible!"

Xiutur raised his shield, tightly guarded by his escorts, watching the slaughter on the front lines from dozens of paces away. His eyes never leaving the scene, he watched for a while, his lips trembling with pain, as if cut by a knife.

The opposing archery was astoundingly powerful; three volleys had taken fifty elite family members. While the family warriors' javelin throw only took down a dozen. As for the recent charge, only thirty or so tribal warriors from the other side fell, while twice as many from their side had fallen!

"Over a hundred! The casualties of over a hundred family warriors! These are the elite warriors who fought alongside me, pressing down the Canul people!"

Xiutur clenched his teeth, feeling as if his heart was bleeding. Yet, in the fierce melee ahead, the Nava warriors had already discarded their long spears and drawn the bronze axes from their waists, fiercely hacking away.

"Haha! How exhilarating!"

The Silver Raven warrior Osprey swung his battle axe, striking the side neck of a Maya warrior and pulling hard. Warm, bright red splattered over his head and face. Osprey licked his bloody lips and let out a carefree howl, pouncing toward another young warrior.

"Awooo! Such a fast axe, chop your head off!"

"Ancestral witness! It's really fast!"

Mokai wielded the bronze axe, cutting down two city-state warriors at close range, feeling quite pleased. He excelled in using long spears and had rarely used the Mexica people's axes, only just beginning to explore their use. But at this moment, both sides' warriors were already engaged in a fierce mêlée. In such conditions, the short-handled bronze axe was the most useful!

"Haha! Fast and sharp, the city-state people's wooden armor is just like grass!"

Mokai grinned widely and swung his axe backwards, again hitting the side shoulder of a Maya warrior. Then, he pulled forcefully, causing the opponent to stagger and painfully expose his neck. The fierce Putun warrior raised his bronze axe and, aiming for the neck of the city-state man, brought it down swiftly and forcefully!

"Swoosh!..."

The glaring bright red gradually pooled into a bloodbath in front of the small temple pyramid. The warriors engaged in intense combat, their bodies entangled as they fell, as if sacrifices for the underground demon. Most of these sacrifices, whether dead or dying, carried the blood of the Maya.

"Heavenly Serpent Divine! Warriors! My warriors!..."

Xiutur's eyes were bloodshot, watching in disbelief as elite family warriors fell one after another.

"The family warriors, always known for their combat prowess, dominating the Lowland Maya! How could they be like this against the western Nava people?..."

After the charge to the death, it became an even more brutal close combat. Although the Xiu family's warriors had superior numbers, they were struggling to recover from their disadvantage. The fighting Nava warriors, even when struck multiple times by stone spears, continued to fight upright. While the Xiu family warriors, once hit by a bronze axe, were destined for severe injury and death!

More importantly, the enemy warriors were shouting divine slogans with a fearless courage, unwavering and not retreating a single step! Meanwhile, although the Xiu family warriors were more in number, their morale was visibly dropping, steadily suppressed by the opponent.

"Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!"

Dozens of kingdom archers ascended the steps of the small temple, taking a position at the high ground. Then, they began methodically sniping the Xiu family warriors, killing over a dozen in no time. With the precise rainfall of arrows, the Xiu warriors, who had roamed the Lowland Maya, began to show signs of instability, their roots shaken.

"Damn! These Nava warriors who colluded with the Mayapan are so fierce!"

Xiutur bit his lip hard and threw a fierce glance at the rear. The remnants of the Mayapan at the back, despite numbering three to four hundred, were of ordinary combat strength. Two hundred Xiu warriors easily overwhelmed them. But the Nava warriors at the front lines were the real formidable enemies!

The battle-savvy Prince Xi Wu widened his eyes, observing the Nava line. The enemy's central army consisted of fifty heavily armored Nava warriors, the left wing was several dozen Nava tribal warriors, and the right wing had even more Putun barbarians. From the battle situation, the weakest point appeared to be...

"May the Heavenly Serpent Divine protect us! Follow me, circle to the front line's right wing! Crush the Nava left wing!"

Xiutur looked at the hundred most battle-proven trusted aides at his command and swiftly made a decision. He raised the long spear in his right hand and lifted the wooden shield with his left, personally leading his trusted aides into battle ahead.

"The Nava forces have reached their limit, and there are still enemies landing from the ships. Deploying these hundred trusted aides to the right wing and targeting the enemy's weak point will be the most decisive strike!"

"The most decisive strike...."

The divine archers Kexi and Amphibia, stationed high atop the small temple, had been waiting with their greatbows in hand. They fixed their sharp Eagle Eyes on the Maya prince, wearing a feather crown, wooden armor, and an overlayer of Serpent war clothes. Until Xiutur got within fifty paces, raised his wooden shield, and shouted commands, while the trusted aides around him fanned out preparing to attack...

"It's now!"

The two divine archers exchanged glances, simultaneously cried out in their hearts. Then, they squinted their eyes, unhesitatingly drew their greatbows, nocked copper arrows, aimed, and released!

"Whiz! Whiz!"
