I think you probably are referring to an Aztec "didactic speech"; ignore me if that is incorrect.
An Aztec didactic speech would have been made by a nobleman (not woman), using the language of the nobles, which was different from the language of the common people. These speeches were deliberately pretentious, using grandiose and flowery wording out of proportion to the occasion. There were certain standard phrases that were used again and again by many different speakers.
You may recall that when Lincoln read his "Gettysburg Address", it was met with great disappointment. People had expected an impressive oration similar to the speech that had just preceded Lincoln's, which lasted two hours compared to Lincoln's two minutes. That preceding overblown oration was a modern equivalent of a "didactic"
"Didactic" standing alone means something that is intended as a teaching tool, especially teaching with moral overtones. That may have been the original intent; one authority says that didactic speeches were given only on special occasions, such as a marriage, the birth of a child, or the election of a chieftain. However, another scholar says that didactic speech-making was an admired skill and young noblemen might engage in impromptu contests.

Did Cortez conquer the Aztecs by himself?
Yes, he did conquer the Aztecs by himself
Well, he did have an army with him.
Some factors that helped him:
-He was welcomed by the Aztec emperor, who later was taken prisoner by him
-A lot of them died because of the new diseases from Europe
-He raised an army adding every culture oppressed by the Aztecs
-Hi had superior firepower and tactics: as Tenochtitlan city was founded over a lake with only a few bridges as connection to mainland he sieged the city until everyone died of starvation.
