October of harvest passed in the fragrance of corn. From the Kingdom of the Lake in the west to the central Mexica Alliance, the faces of millions of commoners showed joyful smiles. After a year of toil, they finally could relax a bit, not an easy feat!
Meanwhile, in the lands of Tlaxcala to the east, on the wild, grassy fields, the Warriors of the Alliance and Kingdom also showed excitement. They were eager, preparing for the coming battle, with hearts full of anticipation for the rewards after victory.
The mobilization for the eastward campaign had spread throughout the army. The horn of war arrived on schedule, and the wind of November was filled with the breath of slaughter as a new campaign was about to begin!
A flurry of activity buzzed around the encampment outside Tree Snake City, with all kinds of supplies prepared. The envoy from Black Wolf Torc had also visited several times to inquire about His Highness's marching arrangements.
