Arrows flew, and the Legion Commander fell. In an instant, under the grand banner, there was a shocking silence. Moments later, the nearby Tzompantli trusted aides rushed over, their faces filled with despair and panic, shouting incredulously.
"Family Head!"
"Legion Commander!"
Seeing Xochitl fall, the face of Turquoise Texiwhit changed drastically. He immediately abandoned the Cloud Serpent hunter and turned, sprinting wildly toward the grand banner.
Telavito's face lit up with pleasure. He widened his eyes, trying to locate the warrior who shot the enemy. But in the flickering firelight, shadows danced and blurred, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Who? Who could have shot the Mexica Legion Commander and achieved such a great feat!"
"Such a divine archer must be one of the famous hunters of Tree Snake City!"
Itz watched for a moment, but found nothing. Yet, having achieved such merit in a night raid, it was enough to report to the City Lord.
