The rain drizzled, and the shouts shook the heavens. The water gate of the Rivermouth fortress, like a hive of wasps, still relentlessly spewed forth large and small boats, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred vessels appeared.
Upon the gorgeous large boat, the round-faced noble Ospe grinned, revealing the excitement of a hunter. He pointed with his Spear Flag and bellowed.
"Speed up the charge, capture that tall warrior with the longbow! The captor will be rewarded with five chests of copper, and their rank will be raised by half a grade!"
Hearing the command, the paddlers on the large boat's faces turned red as they rowed with all their might. The large boat picked up speed once more, surging forth like a pouncing crocodile. Ahead, a pack of more than ten small boats, like wolves, had already pounced on the edge of the Mexica skiffs.
