Chapter 170 - War against barbarism
The way they killed and raped babies is horrifying, these reports not only saw Flavio but also Hellena and Miyuki who began to pressure Flavio to do something.
Even if daughter Felix and Mario also told their father that the empire could not allow such outrage, Flavio knew well that eliminating these wastes was a priority but for that, he had to use cavalry.
While he smoked in his office his tobacco pipe entered Pandora into the living room and knelt before Flavio "Emperor allow me to command the attack for the pacification of deserters."
Flavio looked at Pandora on his knees "Bring Taneri with me and tell my stepfather that I need him to run a pamphlet campaign in all the provinces of the empire about the killing that is taking place in the Anahuac region.
This will not be a punitive expedition is a war where we will end the civil war of Teotihuacán to incorporate them into the empire, after this the majority of the population will be brought to the empire while the cities that have been converted into military bases until the cold reduces and we begin The conquest process.
Now get up woman, I don’t want Hellena or Miyuki to think I’m bothering you or forcing to do humiliating things. "
Pandora got up and with a smile went to look for Taneri.
While this was happening Yaotecatl was reviewing with his Nahuales warriors the state of the destroyed city of Monte Albán which they realized was occupied by deserters.
There was no need to conduct full investigations to discover that like the deserter camp in the Sierra Madre, cannibalism and abuse were present, so they reviewed every place in the destroyed city to know where to attack.
Ascanio who was reviewing the information while drinking a cold coffee received a Nahual messenger who arrived flying "Commander Ascanio I have news and a package for you."
The Nahual messenger took a bag containing a uniform and a direct letter from the emperor from his backpack, after which the messenger said goodbye and withdrew.
Ascanio opened the letter of Emperor Flavio "By this letter, I inform you that your commander Ascanio has been promoted as Legio of the peacekeeping army.
The army will be divided into three sections the north, east, and west, with the mission of peace and forced conquest of the peoples, as for the waste garbage has permission to kill the conventional members the leaders if exception will be captured and will receive the Vitellio’s punishment to be taken to the capital.
For his performance he will be in charge of the downtown area, so his main mission is to conquer Teotihuacán and surrounding cities, civilians will be taken to the empire while receiving volunteers and materials to convert the conquered cities into forts.
It will also receive plans and material for the construction of refueling tracks which will be in charge of the newly founded Air Legion. "
Ascanio smiled at the emperor’s orders, the empire had not had a war of conquest for some time and he would now be part of the story.
He quickly gave the news to the soldiers who had permission to kill so that at night they would take the destroyed city of Monte Alban, only the leaders had to be captured, the garbage could be killed.
The soldiers upon hearing that they had permission to kill did not hesitate to put their bets on the number of deserters they would kill, the joy in the camp made present.
While the soldiers were celebrating Yul was feeding her baby with cow’s milk, he received special permission for once the city of Monte Alban was conquered to settle in the place with her baby girl, since he had no family she would be his only company, little Sihuapil enjoyed from the treatment that Yul gave her, for her his world was reduced to the hugs that his father gave her.
At night the soldiers prepared to storm the city unlike the previous camp where the subtlety was their forte here they entered differently.
The city guards were attacked using crossbows, while Nahual warriors infiltrated with the simple fact of locating the leaders to prevent them from accidentally dying in battle.
Once the Nahual warriors removed the leaders from the city the massacre began, the soldiers made their way to the ruins of the houses where the deserters slept.
Screams began to sound and when the deserters woke up to go out to fight they were greeted by the cold sabers of steel that cut their heads others with less luck were cut hand by hand, foot by foot until they died bled.
The captives were released by soldiers, women and children were taken to safe areas to prevent them from dying from collateral damage but the men did not hesitate to arm themselves with sticks or stones to kill those who had caught them.
One of the prisoners who were released was forced to see how his daughter was raped while his wife was penetrated by a stick which caused him to have an internal hemorrhage and die, the first thing he did was find the son of a bitch who killed his wife.
It did not take long to find him taking refuge in the remains of a building, with stone hit him on the head again and again until the subject’s brain came out next to one of his eyes.
He got up after killing him to step on his penis and testicles with his feet until they were destroyed, he had finished with one missing the other son of a bitch who had raped his daughter and had taken her away from him.
Searching for it was not a simple task while watching as soldiers killed the damned deserters who had caught them in the streets, after entering the intricate maze of destroyed adobe houses he could find the son of a bitch.
He was entrenched in one of the houses of an old city Tlatoani, soldiers could not enter without being shot by obsidian arrows but this would not stop a furious father after what they did to his family.
He searched the ground and found a thin wall of adobe which gave him a few small blows to know if it was resistant and placed it on his back to protect himself from attacks with arrows.
He tied her behind him with the help of another survivor who was looking for deserters to kill, accompanied him to the building where he took another path.
Outside the building one of the soldiers who was protecting himself from the arrows could see the face of a poor man who was carrying an adobe slab on his back, his face was full of hatred and desire to kill, in a selfless act the soldier approached him very carefully and handed him a steel dagger.
The subject smiled and accepted the steel dagger, carrying the heavy adobe wall on his back the deserters did not hesitate to shoot their arrows on him, but it was useless since you are only bouncing or burying themselves in the adobe.
When he reached the door he cut the rope and released the heavy adobe slab from his back, with a dagger in his hand he threw himself on a deserter who was afraid and was in a corner of where he had come.
The cries for help did not wait and with it the deserters thought that the soldiers had entered so they entered the building to fight, thanks to this the soldiers charged without the danger of the arrows to the place.
When they entered they killed the deserters they had but found a sad scene since the captive who helped them was dead and with enough wounds of obsidian weapons but still dying he clung to one of the deserters who had a scary face on his face and A dagger in the heart.
Scenes like this would be repeated throughout the night, it wasn’t until the morning that hundreds of deserters’ bodies were being burned outside the city.
The deserters who had survived were responsible for carrying the bodies to the pits so that they were burned once they got tired or could not move, they were thrown alive into the pits with fire.
Where their screams sounded for a few moments before stopping, it was a very pious measure since the priests did not allow Ascanio to torture and do worse things to the prisoners.
But they also had no problem if the prisoners accidentally fell on the fire while the remains of rapists and killers were burned ...
