Chapter 248 - Divine help

The legionaries of the Alpha legion together with the soldiers on the wall and the auxiliaries began a fight without quarter with an enemy that seemed to have no end.

Fortunately, the invading natives did not launch an attack across the sea in their canoes, they concentrated all their power in trying to climb the wall.

Leonel began to get tired of killing natives for every staircase they destroy, they put two more, the base of the wall is full of bodies that are already adding more than two meters.

A tribune approached the Leonel leg "Legio has just received an answer from Emperor Flavio, Nahual messengers with oil are on their way ready to empty the content on the battlefield.

He has also informed us that Ares and Huitzilopochtli will come personally to help the soldiers. "

Leonardo was surprised "We will have two gods of war on the part we have to thank Jupiter.

Let the soldiers prepare the grenades, we will demonstrate to these natives the power of the empire, we don’t want the gods to take all the lead. "

The tribune nodded and came down from the tower to give the order to the logistics squad who transmitted the order to all the logistics of the wall and began to prepare the vases with iron balls and gunpowder.

The soldiers who did not stop using their crossbows or repeat the same hand movement to cut off heads or any part of the body that incapacitated the enemy noticed that logistic soldiers began to arrive with grenades.

Which was good news for them because there are a lot of enemies under the wall which is a danger since they are thrown from stones to spears with wooden tips.

Causing damage to the soldiers and sometimes interrupting the attack on the enemies that climb the wall.

Once the squadrons distributed the grenades the legionaries and soldiers began to prepare with their flint and when they received orders from their sergeants they lit the fuse and threw the grenades.

The grenades exploded before reaching the ground causing their small metal balls to come out at a fairly fast speed killing and wounding countless natives.

Not to mention that the clay remains became shrapnel which could be put into the eyes of the natives, the use of grenades slowed the advance of the natives.

Allowing the soldiers to break the stairs that were operational on the wall, the natives after realizing that the explosive attack was only momentary continued their attack on the wall.

The time of the battle passed quickly and when the soldiers were tired they could see in the distance many gigantic birds that had large pots of Oil.

They knew that support had arrived, two of the Nahual messengers had Huitzilopochtli and Ares on their backs, who looked at the large group of people seen in the distance.

"How many bastards do you think they are, Huitzilopochtli."

Huitzilopochtli scratched his chin "I calculate at least 600,000, but because of their few formations they are only a disorganized group worse than animals, it will be fun to fight do you want the Pacific or Atlantic side."

Ares smiled "Leave me the Atlantic, you can keep the Pacific, let’s make a bet to see who kills the most garbage, the winner can keep the souls of the best warriors who die in battle."

Huitzilopochtli showed his happiness while his face showed his teeth "I like that idea Ares, I hope you are ready to lose, you are not the only one with divine weapons"

Leonel could see how one of the eagles was approaching the tower where he was and she jumped a muscular young man because everyone had moved no one interrupted his fall.

After falling Huitzilopochtli his Macuahuitl appeared and looked at Leonel "You must be General Leonel, prepare your boys with weapons at a distance.

When the Nahual messengers release the Oil and hell begins, I will go down personally to start the massacre, use weapons at a distance to prevent them from approaching in the meantime. "

Leonel nodded and began to give the orders to the soldiers while in the sky the Nahual messengers began to release the Oil on the battlefield.

The natives tried to clean the black Oil they had in their skins but it was useless, shortly after being filled with Oil a rain of arrows of fire began to fall on them.

Because they were very close against each other the fire began to burn them, when trying to escape many natives fell and were stepped on by their companions while trying to escape.

The screams of horror were present while Huitzilopochtli took off his shirt which he handed to a soldier "Take care of it is a gift from my wife Jasamin that he especially made for me."

The soldier nodded as he watched as the hummingbird god jumped from the wall towards the battlefield.

When Huitzilopochtli fell to the ground he crushed with his boots human remains which filled his notes with blood and guts, with the fire and shouts Huitzilopochtli stood out making him look like the herald of death that had come to end the life of the native garbage.

Huitzilopochtli sighed and concentrated his divine energy in his Macuahuitl which began to grow in size and lifted him to the sky.

A white light shone on Huitzilopochtli’s imposing weapon, he was preparing to launch a large-scale attack, many years ago he had killed his 300 brothers when they tried to kill his mother Tonantzin when he got pregnant.

After breathing and exhaling he gave a swing in the direction of the natives, at first it seemed that nothing had happened but soon a great air formed and everything alive a kilometer away was split in half.

The natives were very worried about the strange man who had hurt them, before their eyes, it was worse than the jungle, for the first time they were afraid since they started their attack.

With ashes and soot on his face, Huitzilopochtli prepared to launch his next swing to begin the true massacre of natives ...
