Contents
Background
During the Chihueta-Iloqutzi-Tzachu coalition defeat by the Amacha at the Battle of Cuyua, Chief Alīxāntzei of the Iloqutzi was killed in action which effectively made the tribe side with the Amacha. Then, in the Battle of Motzocho, Imnoqueti leader Camaxtli was ritually sacrificed following his capture, leading to the Imnoqueti surrender and joining of the Amacha.
Following both battles, the remaining Chihueta, Llohechue, Tzachu, and Xuhuetí tribes rallied all their forces together to defend Xichútepa, the capital city of the Creeperian Confederation. The tribes agreed to attack the Amacha, Iloqutzi, and Imnoqueti forces and force them to flee from the city.
Battle
On 14 September 537 AD, the four tribes, under the leadership of Tapayaxi I, set up their camp on the other side of the Xichútepa River. The Amacha saw the camp and organized their forces to fight the tribes.
On 15 September 537 AD, Tapayaxi I's larger army was caught off guard by the forces under Ahuiliztli early in the morning as half of Ahuiliztli's army had already crossed the river when Tapayaxi I's forces were ready. Battle started before the tribes were able to have their ritual breakfast, leaving many of them hungry and unable to effectively fight.
During the battle, Chief Yolotli of the Llohechue was killed in action by Iloqutzi Chief Huetan. Chiefs Huemotzē and Catzlōche fled the battle field with small groups of warriors, leaving the remainder of their forces to be imprisoned, later to be sacrified, or slaughtered in battle.
According to legend, Head Chief Tapayaxi I killed himself when only 50 of his warriors were left fighting. He disemboweled himself to prevent himself from being paraded around and sacrificed by Ahuiliztli. The battle ended before noon and Ahuiliztli secured his place as ruler of the land. On that day, he established the Kingdom of Creeperia and declared himself Tlahtoani, or King.
Aftermath
Following the battle, Ahuiliztli declared himself Tlahtoani, or King, of the Kingdom of Creeperia. Under him, the Creeperian language left its phase of Xichútepan and transitioned into Xichútepan with the influence of the Pope who came to Creeperopolis in 540AD and converted the nation from Creeperian Paganism to Christianity, which would eventually become the Creeperian Catholic Church.
