Chapter 169 - Operation Cleaning Trash to trash
It was only enough to cover the mouths of the lookouts while the cold of the steel of the Nahual’s knives slowly opened their throats, this as a way of punishment for these despicable beasts.
After the entrance was released the soldiers entered the deserters’ camp, to avoid making noise the soldiers who participated only wore the typical green cotton military clothing with their black leather boots and sabers.
The deserters slept in small houses made of adobe and its doors were only a blanket of Hayate, soldier by soldier entered the small adobe houses to capture the sleeping deserters.
The first houses were the simplest but for those of the highest level bandits they found quite grotesque things, Erix a soldier of a Greek mother and Roman father years ago joined the expeditionary army of Emperor Flavio.
Since he arrived in the Americas he has had to fight in a lot of clashes, from the first attack of the Maya to the last attack by the giants he has seen a lot of unpleasant things but when he entered one of the houses of the leaders of the deserters.
He found a scene that he will remember for his entire life, the entire building was adorned with baby skulls and in the Petate bed(bed for the Aztecs) the deserter leader was raping a baby of no more than 5 months who was already dead.
The poor corpse of the baby only moved without life to the rhythm of the beast’s hips, Erix knew his orders so that without wasting time he pounced on the beast in front of him.
The first thing he did was give him a good blow to the face, then he covered his mouth while giving him, even more, punches in the face, he held back a lot since he wanted to kill the beast, but the orders are important, very carefully placed the Baby’s body in the Petate bed.
Then the priests and priestesses would come to take the bodies to give them a grave so that their bodies could return to the womb of Mother Earth, but for the beast that pulled Erix’s hairs, his future was different.
Many of his companions left the houses with their respective captives, some could not with what they saw in the house so after leaving their stomachs emptied, Erix took his captive directly with Ascanio.
Ascanio was sitting at a table where he had papers and a pen where he wrote down the crimes with which the prisoners were found, Erix waited for his turn and when he arrived he said what he saw.
"Commander I found this beast abusing the body of a child under 5 months who died of this cursed while raping her.
His adobe house was upholstered with baby skulls I also found some more corpses of babies that were in a rotting corner. "
Ascanio looked at the beast with a look of hate and called one of the many doctors who accompanied the expedition, the doctor immediately arrived "How can i help you, commander."
Ascanio pointed to the beast that wore a human garment that Erix had holding with his hand "I want you to apply with the power I have by the general Amancio this captive the Vitelio’s punishment, pleas keep alive this scum since he will be sent to the capital to fulfill his sentence.
Erix I hope you can help the doctor to support the beast while the punishment is done without anesthesia since they are dirty cannibals have orders to use the arms and legs of this beast as the food they will eat until it reaches the capital.
Make dried meat if necessary, let’s see if this beast likes to eat his own meat. "
The doctor hesitated for a moment until Ascanio told him what the captive had done, at that moment the doctor just looked at the garbage in front of him "I understand commander I will use an obsidian dagger since my materials were lost somewhere, I hope to understand and authorize commander.
The obsidian leaves irregular cuts on the skin with which the skin takes a long time to heal, but you should not worry about commander with alcohol and special care we will make the beast alive until it reaches the capital. "
Ascanio smiled "Do what you have to do, the tools will appear tomorrow or the day after until our boys check the supplies."
Erix took his captive with the doctor to enforce the orders of the commander, Yaotecatl and his Nahual warriors were responsible for cleaning in the cave.
The Nahual warrior who had first entered the cave received Yaotecatl’s permission to kill in the same way that the butcher he observed killed his victims.
In the cave the silence was penetrating, only the moans of a man could be heard, when Yaotecatl and the warrior Tlacuache entered they could see that the butcher was abusing the body of the girl who had freed the warrior from his suffering a few hours earlier.
The child’s small stomach was open and there was a baby that was still alive, the warrior knew that it was the baby of the girl who freed her suffering, the little baby had clung to life which made her a warrior.
The warrior looked at Yaotecatl to ask permission to kill the butcher, Yaotecatl nodded and then the groans ceased in the cave and were replaced by cries for help from a man who cried like a pig.
After half an hour the Nahuales went out with some survivors and the warrior came out with a baby in his arms, covered by his clothes. "I killed your mother so she wouldn’t suffer but that bastard didn’t let her rest even in death.
My duty to see that as a newborn you clung to life no matter what happened is to take care of yourself, as of today you will be Sihuapil, you will be my daughter from this moment.
I will ask the commander for permission to do the ritual so that you become a nahual when the ritual is complete your little body will be healthier.
By the way little girl, I am Yul and I will be your father. "
The baby clung to Yul’s arms while searching for heat since the cave was very cold.
At dawn the soldiers finished counting, more than 49 captives suffered the punishment of Vitellius, 200 were captured and marked with their red-hot prisoner numbers on their skins there were also more than 400 accidental deaths and they have rescued alive alone 50 women and only one baby.
The place received the name of "Mortemchiquitl" because in the place were found more than 400 skulls of babies and remains of them, the number of bones of men and women reached a horrific amount of more than 3000 people.
This ignited the alarms in the empire who realized that what had been an operation to eliminate deserting bandits would end up being a war against beings who denied their humanity ...
