Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Ah! Ugh... for the Queen..."

The last Holy War veteran long spearman had just thrust his spear into the chest of a Kingdom’s Warrior when sharp arrows shot in from behind! He suddenly stopped, a pain in his neck, and immediately arterial blood gushed forth. All his strength dissipated, and he leaned toward Captain Big Juan beside him, still speaking.

"Cap... Captain..."

"No! Hernando!... "

Veteran Captain Big Juan saw this scene, his light blue eyes already dyed blood red. He glared, spitting out the blood from his mouth, quickly surveying the battlefield littered with the dead and wounded. The Evil Demon Warriors in the front row fell in large numbers amidst the continuous assassinations, but the rear row of his Holy War veterans was also nearly wiped out! What was initially anticipated to be a one-sided crushing had turned into a fight to the death for everyone after just a quarter of frantic combat!

"Fe! Cruz! Redención! Faith! Cross! Redemption!"

Looking at the equally red-eyed Evil Demon Leader opposite, Veteran Captain Big Juan gritted his teeth, filled with blood, and suddenly shouted the charge slogan! With the enemy attacking from front and rear, the archers shooting from behind, and the spearmen all gone, maintaining the battle formation had become pointless! So, let’s fight to the death together!

"Dios! Luz! Audacity! Almighty! Light! Courage!"

The remaining ten Sword and Shield Soldiers roared together, suddenly throwing out their shields, dissolving the shield formation. They no longer maintained defense but fiercely lifted their long swords, suddenly swinging forward.

"Reina! Honor! Dismember!! Queen! Glory! Slaughter!!..."

"For the Chief Divine! To the Red Divine Kingdom! Cut off the Evil Demon’s head!"

The Holy War veterans of Castile roared madly, entangled in a gruesome slaughter with the kingdom’s warriors wielding heavy axes! Both sides’ longswords and heavy axes hacked at each other, not a step back from anyone! They broke through each other’s armor, struck the opponent’s shoulder, and severed each other’s necks! Blood splattered in the firelight, everyone went mad, collapsing together in just a few breaths, bleeding!

"Sneaky barbarian! I’ll kill you!"

"Go to hell! Damned Evil Demon!"

Veteran Captain Big Juan directly faced Warrior Captain Tai Giant Eagle. Both were skilled fighters, able to evade each other’s slashes and then strike at the other’s vulnerable points before their physical strength was exhausted! This deadly exchange, continuing for four rounds, abruptly ended when Captain Big Juan’s hind leg suddenly ached, all his movements slowed...

"Evil Demon! Die!!"

Tai Giant Eagle roared ferociously, gathering all his strength, swinging a fierce axe aimed at Big Juan’s head!

"Thunk!!"

The clash of the heavy axe and helmet sounded like a fierce war drum played on metal! Shocked by this death knell, Big Juan’s forehead caved inward, the helmet dented from the blunt strike! His eyes widened suddenly, two streams of blood running down his forehead, coloring his vision red and staining the world he saw. Then, the red world spun rapidly, his flattened head chopped off at the neck, kicked away by Tai Giant Eagle!

"Huff! Huff! Huff!!..."

Warrior Captain Tai Giant Eagle gasped heavily, completely drained of strength. He stared hard at Big Juan’s headless body, and in the unarmored hind leg, he saw a still-trembling sharp arrow. He paused, looked up, and saw Red-haired Mique, equally red-eyed, holding a trembling greatbow.

"Mique..."

"Tai Giant Eagle..."

Amidst the blazing firelight, blood covered the entire battlefield, dozens of bodies overlapping. This unimaginably fierce battlefield clash had reached a climax from the beginning! When the Dog Descendants began shooting arrows and the Castilians dissolved their formation, life and death were decided in an instant!

This lethal duel was so fast, so brutal! Neither side retreated even a step! They hit each other’s vital points, even without much screaming, quickly becoming dead bodies entangled together.

"No! My archers..."

"Oh Chief Divine! My warriors..."

The two bloodthirsty kingdom leaders looked around, vast stretches of red dyed the center of the wooden hut farm. At this moment, whether it was the blood of the Evil Demons or the blood of the warriors and Dog Descendants, they all flowed together, mingling with the dead Taino people.

"Ten, twenty, twenty-eight... twenty-eight dead Evil Demons!"

Red-haired Mique counted silently, counting twenty-eight headless dead Evil Demons. The bodies of these Evil Demons had already been fiercely stabbed, their iron-helmeted hard heads chopped off by surviving Dog Descendants and warriors! Those expressions on the heads remained fierce and brutal!

"Ten, twenty, thirty... thirty of my men."

Red-haired Mique counted again, only finding thirty Dog Descendant shooters, many still injured. Earlier, just five heavy axe-wielding Evil Demons overwhelmed them, still managing to kill ten Red-haired Dog Descendants. This kind of casualty made Red-haired Mique’s heart ache tremblingly! Yet looking at Tai Giant Eagle’s red, tear-filled eyes, the Dog Descendants’ casualties seemed less significant!

"Ten... fourteen... fourteen! Only fourteen of my warriors remain!"

Warrior Captain Tai Giant Eagle gritted his teeth, feeling his heart bleed painfully. Forty heavily armored warriors, arrayed in formation, were killed in direct battle with the Evil Demons’ formation, totaling twenty-six lost! Half of them were killed by the enemy’s incredibly fierce long spears!

When these Evil Demons formed a formation, their combat power would visibly increase compared to when dispersed. The previous shield formation of fewer than ten compared to this shield-spear-axe formation of twenty-eight wasn’t in the same class of lethality at all! It seemed these Evil Demons had a unique trait: the more complex their formations and the more members, the more they could cooperate... the fiercer their combat power becomes!

If this were true, then when hundreds of Evil Demon elite veterans formed shield formations that simultaneously covered each other on all sides, combined with rear long spearmen and possibly crossbowmen... what strength would a battle formation composed of thousands or even tens of thousands of Evil Demon elite soldiers possess?

At this moment, Tai Giant Eagle was full of many thoughts, painfully yet genuinely shocked by the power of the Evil Demon elite formations. He had to pass on the experiences and insights gained from this battle back to Cuba, to let Priest Tomate know as well!

Of course, his worry was actually unnecessary. It had to be known, entire Kingdom of Castile could only gather about a hundred such Holy War Veterans Corps, totaling eight thousand veterans! These infantry units, the most elite formed through ten years of Holy War, are the foundation of Castilian Royal Family’s governance, most now on the battlefields of the Italian Wars. Sending four to East India was a result of Queen Isabella’s extreme consideration.

If all four veteran corps were to die here, Deputy Commander Antonio and Veteran Camp Commander Pedro wouldn’t know how to return to Castile to face the queen’s fury!

"Oh Chief Divine! The enemy reinforcements are here! The archers holding them back behind can’t hold them much longer!"

"One, two, three, four, five! There are five complete Iron Men! Captain Tai Giant Eagle! We can’t wait any longer, we must leave immediately, retreat to the west!"

In Red-haired Mique’s shout, Tai Giant Eagle looked up, seeing for the first time the knights known as Iron Men, making their heavy steps forward under the protection of a group of chamberlains!
