Bab 248: Chapter 137: Cutting Hair, Blood Oath, and Conquest_4

They cut off their hair, threw it into the fire, chanted the names of the gods, and ate cornbread. The process was so simple and quick; the only concern was to lead away the commoners who had received food to prevent them from lining up again. In the end, about a hundred people refused to convert and were directly stripped of their clothes, had their identities checked, and chased out of the city naked.

Uguel was indifferent, leaving these commoners to their own fate. He silently calculated, then instructed his attendants and swung the Divine Staff once more.

Soon, a group of forty to fifty commoners was driven forward, opposite them was an Otomi Warrior with his hands tied. The Temple Guards overseeing the event threw several obsidian daggers into the center and ordered the duel to begin, a fight to the death.
