Chapter 362 Three Generals and the Legion

The setting sun fell to the end of the river, dyeing the world red and yellow, and pulling out a long silhouette of the river mouth fortress. The sunset fell on the center of the fortress, where there was a magnificent house. Hundreds of bronze-armored warriors were guarding closely, and dozens of Guakili chieftains were waiting at the door.

The house was wide in front and back, each with a courtyard. A bonfire was built in the front yard, roasting turkey, roasting deer legs, steaming red crabs, and boiling fish soup. Dozens of skilled servants were busy preparing dinner. The smell of spices mixed with the aroma of food, spreading far away, making people salivate.

The fragrance spread to the backyard and blended with the rich fragrance of flowers. There was a garden in the backyard, and the flowers of early spring were in full bloom. The rare American Paphiopedilum grew bag-shaped lip petals, blooming exceptionally gorgeous flowers, and exuding a pleasant scent like perfume. The beautiful blue-capped hummingbirds were attracted by the fragrance. They lightly rose and fell among the flowers and hovered in front of the stamens, like colorful streamers.

Xiuluot was wearing leather armor and smiling, watching the hummingbirds in the garden. There were several people standing behind him, enjoying the flowers together. From time to time, the noise from the front yard came from afar, making the backyard even quieter.

"Hummingbirds are the symbol of the god of war, and the priests have studied them carefully. They have sharp beaks with saw-like teeth on them. It is said that the earliest obsidian war clubs were made by imitating the beaks of hummingbirds."

Xiuluot turned around and smiled gently, like a priest scholar.

"For hummingbirds, those with gorgeous head feathers are generally male birds, while those with plain head feathers are female birds. However, they have an interesting feature. When some female birds are sucking nectar, in order not to be disturbed by male birds, they deliberately grow gorgeous head feathers to pretend to be male birds."

Speaking of this, Xiuluot paused, pointed to the gorgeous hummingbird in front of him, and asked the red frog chief Coca.

"Koka, look at this hummingbird, is it a male or female?"

"Uh"

Koka was wearing the uniform of the Alliance, with the amulet of the sun god around his neck. He stared at the small hummingbird with his eyes wide open for a long time.

"Chief, is this a female?"

"Are you sure?"

"Ah, is it a male?"

Xuluot smiled. He reached out again and pointed at the yellow feathers on the hummingbird's head.

"Look, it has this yellow feather on its head, not pure blue. So, it's a female."

"Uh, Chief is wise."

Koka looked at the hummingbird that was only the size of a finger, and struggled to identify a few yellow dots, so he replied hesitantly.

"Koka, these are common sense for the main god priests."

Xuluot's expression became serious.

"Have you been studying with the priests recently?"

"Chief, I have studied, but I just forgot after I finished studying."

When Koka heard that he was studying with the priests, his face was bitter. He had held the spear for half his life and shot the bow for more than ten years. For the first time, he knew that what was more tiring than fighting was to recite some priest knowledge and learn some pictographic characters.

Beside Koka, the red monkey chieftain Ozoma sneered secretly, while the black wolf Toltec agreed.

"Oh? How can that be? In the past few months, Ozoma has been much better than you, and even the priests who guided him praised him."

Xiuluot looked at the two chieftains and smiled faintly.

"Koka, why don't I send you to the Shenwei University in the capital and study hard for five years. How about it? Ozoma, you have excellent talent, so go and study together. Only three years will be enough. When you come out, you will be the honorable chief priests and manage a place."

"Ah! Great Chief!"

Hearing this, Ozoma's smile froze. He quickly knelt on the ground and asked the king for his order.

"I am only willing to wear armor and hold a spear for you, and fight bravely!"

"That's right! Great Chief, Koka doesn't want to be a priest, I only want to lead the army for you!"

Koka also knelt down hurriedly, his face terrified.

"Oh? You all don't want to be priests, you only want to lead the army?"

"Only want to lead the army! Great Chief, you promised me before!"

Koka gritted his teeth and raised his head boldly. Ozoma didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and nodded.

"Indeed. I promised you that it's not impossible for you to continue to lead the army."

Xuluot nodded slightly, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"But I need to use the Guakili warriors. They have to form a formal legion and come under the command of the kingdom. It won't work if they are scattered and disciplined like now."

Ozoma listened for a while, and immediately understood in his heart. He pursed his lips, stole a glance at the great chief's face, and bowed to the ground.

"Chief, you are my wolf king! I will obey your orders on how to reorganize the tribe!"

"Yes."

Xuluote nodded and looked at Koka again.

"Koka, what do you say?"

Koka hesitated. He looked at Ozoma and then at the Black Wolf General next to him. Toltec's eyes were wide open and he put his hand directly on the war stick. Koka was startled and fell to the ground.

"Everything is up to you, Chief!"

"Okay!"

The king smiled. He stepped forward, shook the hair of the two men, and then gave an order.

"Koka, Ozoma, all your tribal warriors must be organized into flag teams! Among the fifteen flag teams, the Red Frog and Red Monkey tribes can each occupy a flag team of 4,000 people. You will be the leaders of the flag teams, and the priests will be sent by the alliance. As for the extra men, new flag teams must be established! Each flag team will have 400 men, 6,000 people, to form the Guakili Legion, which will be trained and commanded by the officers of the kingdom. You will serve as the two deputy legion commanders, each leading 3,000 people. As for the legion commander..."

Shulot looked at Toltec next to him. Toltec was shocked. He looked excited and vaguely guessing.

"The commander of the legion is Toltec the Black Wolf!"

"Your Highness! Thank you for your forgiveness! I, Toltec, will die for you!"

Black Wolf suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times, until a red mark appeared on his forehead.

"Black Wolf, my beloved general. Get up!"

Shulot held up the black wolf with his own hands and said gently.

"In the northern expedition to the Red Fox Valley, you sacrificed your life and fought bravely until you were injured. There was nothing wrong with you. In my heart, you have always been an unparalleled warrior! But, Black Wolf, from now on, you have to take on more responsibilities. The responsibility of a commander. As a commander, you must pay attention to the overall situation of the battlefield and plan for the overall gains and losses, and you cannot risk your life lightly! "

"I have not summoned you in the past few months. On the one hand, I want you to rest in peace and recuperate, and on the other hand, I want you to calm down and reflect on your gains and losses. I am very pleased to hear that you are studying patiently in the camp. I want to To take on a big responsibility, you must go through this level of training. Next, I will gather the generals to sort out the gains and losses of the Northern Expedition and summarize the war experience. You must be present and speak, and you must study and think patiently! "

After hearing these words, Toltec nodded heavily, his eyes a little moist.

"Your Highness, I will listen to you!"

"Okay, Black Wolf! Don't be arrogant or impetuous, neither discouraged nor discouraged. Only those with a thunderous chest and a face as flat as a lake can be the leader of the legion! I have always placed high hopes on you."

The king smiled gently and patted the black wolf on the shoulder. Then, he looked at the two chiefs. Ozoma quickly lowered his head and put away the envy on his face.

"Coca, Ozoma, you all get up too! From now on, you must lead your troops and follow the command of Captain Black Wolf!"

"At your command, Warchief."

"As you command, Warchief."

Shulot looked at the three of them, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Black Wolf, since you want to be the commander of the legion, you must have troops under your direct command. I allow you to take away five hundred throwing pioneers from the Guards Legion, and give you a quota of one thousand Prepecha warriors, from the kingdom's farms. Selection in the military.”

The kingdom's field army mainly comes from the Tarasco surrender army, among which there are a lot of warriors.

"As for the remaining cocka, I remember it was the black wolf you shot and injured?"

Shulot looked at Coca and asked calmly.

"Ah! Chief, the ones who really shot the black wolf were actually Iwekan from the Red Fox Tribe and Amosi from the Red Crow Tribe. I just..."

Coca-Cola is a bit bitter. At that time, in order to encourage the tribe, he took credit for shooting the black wolf, but now he has cheated himself and has no way to defend himself.

"Coca, I know you have four hundred red-haired hunters. Well, hand over two hundred to the commander of the Black Wolf Army as compensation."

The king smiled calmly and his words could not be refused.

"Ozoma, and you, hand over one hundred red-haired hunters. Recruit two hundred more red-haired men from each department, and gather five hundred elites to serve as the direct subordinates of Black Wolf."

In this way, the Guakili Legion will be fully equipped with 8,000 men. The commander of the legion, Black Wolf, has direct control over two thousand elites and three thousand canine descendants each of the red frogs and red monkeys, basically maintaining a balance.

Shulot waited for a moment, until Coca and Ozoma both nodded and obeyed, then he shouted again.

"As witnessed by the Lord God, the three of you must swear in front of me! Support each other in the legion, unite as one, and there will be no grudge against each other!"

Hearing this, Black Wolf raised his brows, Coca's eyes widened, and Ozoma's eyes flickered. The three of them looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

As the sun sets in the west, the rays of light fill the courtyard, and hummingbirds fly among the flowers. The king's gaze brought heavy pressure, and Bertard looked at it calmly.

Black Wolf closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He took a breath and finally raised his hand to swear.

"Witness the Lord God! I, the black wolf Toltec!"

Koka kept his eyes wide open, looking at the Death Chief for a while, and then at the other two people, and said calmly.

"Witness the Lord God! I am the red frog Cocker!"

Ozoma lowered his eyebrows, clenched his fists on his chest, and looked pious and sincere.

"Witness the Lord God! I, the red monkey Ozoma!"

"I will assume the responsibilities of the legion, obey the orders of His Highness (Great Chief), support each other with them, unite as one, and there will be no grudge against each other!"

The three of them paused for a moment, then spoke together and made an oath to the gods in front of the king!

"Okay! Very good! I will hand over the new legion to you!"

Shulot laughed with satisfaction. He looked around at the generals, looking at the different expressions, but felt very happy in his heart.

"Haha, let's all go to the front yard! The dinner has been prepared. Let the chiefs outside the door come in and take their seats! Tonight, eat meat, drink to your heart's content, and sing to your heart's content. You won't come home until you're drunk!"

The king's laughter spread into the sky, and the setting sun fell into the lake peacefully. The night falls, the wind blows, the blazing bonfire illuminates the front yard, and the air is filled with the fragrant fragrance.

The musicians played the flying bamboo flutes, and the girls danced cheerfully. The generals and leaders sat around the campfire and saluted the chief. Then, the grand dinner began. Everyone feasted and drank all night long, enjoying the joy of the night until they were drunk until they woke up!
