"Supreme Main God, with the flesh and blood of the Cloud Divine Race, I offer you a divine sacrifice! Please grant victory in war, please send down the omen of triumph..."
"The Main God has descended with enlightenment! Divination, martial prowess, abundance, auspiciousness!..."
"We shall certainly conquer this city! Only that auspiciousness requires time, and so does the Main God, to devour the Rain Divine of the Cloud..."
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
On the sacrificial high platform, flames soar, smoke rises, and crimson flows down. Wilderness prayers and hymns waft up from the high platform. The warriors' cheers and war dance make the earth shudder and tremble. This is the most sacred and noble rite, using the most mysterious and bloody ceremony, inspiring the Mexica legion with the thunder of cannon intimidation, invigorating the spirits of tens of thousands.
