Hernan Cortes, having scuttled his fleet at Vera Cruz, survived a tenuous engagement with the Tlaxcalans, and massacring the Cholula leadership, now proceeds on to Tenochtitlan to meet the Aztec Emperor, Moctezuma. Having rebuffed attempts by Moctezuma to bribe him, Cortes continues forward. Moctezuma, fearful that Cortes is the divine envoy of Quetzlcatal, prophesied to return in the ‘One Reed’ year of 1519, surreptitiously sends warriors out to ambush the Spaniards and their tubes that spit fire. Will the indomitable Cortes force his way through the ambush to march on Tenochtitlan, or will Moctezuma exact an early revenge????
