"Haha, bah, it's obviously you, Arnold, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but you blame your cowardice on the civilians."
"Arnold, you don't need to explain anymore, your explanation is just a cover-up!"
Arnold's sincere explanation was met with ridicule by Kandel.
Arnold's face suddenly turned pale and his whole body became trembling.
But Arnold was indeed the defeated one, and it would be useless for him to explain more now.
On the other hand, the commanders and priests on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
Commander Cullen immediately spoke: "Commander Kandel, it's a bit too much for you to become Commander Arnold like this."
"Although Commander Arnold did surrender to the army of Io Continent, he did not harm any civilians when he came to the Flame Continent this time. Instead, he kept interceding for the civilians and soldiers of our Flame God Continent along the way!"
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to preach to me here? Aren't you the same?"
However, when Cullen finished speaking, he was also greeted by Kandel's ridicule.
"My name is Cullen, and I am the commander of Nankaro City. Although I was indeed defeated, I fought until the last moment. The city wall was not broken, and I did not surrender."
"However, now I feel lucky that I chose to destroy the city at that time and did not let the soldiers die again."
"Because in the face of the invading troops from the Io continent, even if we make more resistance, it will only cost the lives of the soldiers in vain."
Cullen was not speechless by Kandel's words.
Because Cullen can say that he is very aboveboard and has no shame whatsoever towards the civilians of the Fire God Continent.
From the very beginning, he would rather die than give in. In the end, he saw the kindness of Nalant and thought of the cruelty of the invaders from other gods.
Only then did he choose to help Narant.
"That's right, Commander Kandel, we are not here because we are afraid of death, so we are here to persuade the Io army to surrender."
"But we feel that the army of Io continent may be the most suitable to take over our Flame Continent."
"If it were replaced by another legion of gods, our God of Fire Continent would suffer greater oppression and sacrifice."
"Didn't Commander Kandel hear the news coming from other directions in the Flame Continent during this time?"
"Which of those legions of gods doesn't regard the civilians of our Fire God Continent as reptiles and kill them at will without any mercy?"
At this time, other commanders and priests also began to echo Cullen's words.
With everyone talking, Kandel on the city wall could no longer take advantage.
Ever since, Kandel stopped being verbose.
"Hmph, no matter how beautifully you say it, I, Kandel, will never surrender."
"You lackeys of the invaders, I will give you ten seconds to escape now. If you continue to stay here after ten seconds, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Kandel issued final orders to these commanders and priests.
"Kander, don't insist on having your own way, you will harm the civilians in the village and your soldiers!"
"Set me an arrow!"
Several commanders and priests below wanted to persuade him again, but Kandel stopped talking.
Following the order, the soldiers beside him began to fire arrows towards the city.
Immediately, several commanders and priests did not dare to stay any longer, and all evacuated towards the rear in embarrassment.
Commander Rem of Macile City frowned slightly when he saw this, "Kander, after all, they were the commanders and priests of our Fire God Continent. Isn't it inappropriate for you to shoot them with arrows like this?"
"Priest Rem, although they were the leaders and priests of our Fire God Continent before, now they are just the lackeys of the enemy."
"So, shooting the enemy's lackey is just a normal thing."
Faced with the questioning from Priest Rem, Kandel did not give in at all.
Priest Rem heard the words, but had nothing to say.
Indeed, Arnold and others are now regarded as the enemy's surrender team, and there is nothing wrong with attacking them on our side.
Moreover, he was just a priest in the city, and it was Kandel who really commanded the battle.
In this way, Rem didn't say anything more.
Over there, Arnold and others fled back to Nalant's formation with embarrassed faces.
"Lord Nalant, I'm sorry that we failed to persuade the commander of Machle City to surrender!"
Everyone reported the situation to Nalant as soon as they came back.
In fact, Nalant knew what was going on when he saw several people returning in embarrassment.
"Well, I understand, you should rest first!"
Narant knew that this Machile City must be regarded as the tallest city wall he had encountered along the way, and it was understandable that the commander in the city chose to defend it.
Anyone who thinks he can defend the city will never like to be someone else's prisoner.
It's a pity that now I have to take over this city by myself.
Although the various fortifications under the city wall in front have not been removed, Nalant started a long-range attack on Machile City as usual.
Following the order, the magic cannon and trebuchet started to fire at the same time.
Then there were constant roars coming from up and down the city wall.
There is also a counterattack in the city of Anranmaqile.
It began to throw a large number of stones and magic energy shells towards the outside of the city.
While the two sides were fighting, Nalant immediately asked Shirley and the Hawk Beast team to go to the city to investigate the situation.
Soon, it was discovered that the city of Machile had a fighting strength of at least 700,000 soldiers.
Moreover, these are real soldiers, not recruited from ordinary civilians in the city.
Perhaps he knew in advance that one of Nalant's men was capable of releasing lightning.
There were actually iron poles erected in the city.
These iron poles are all inserted into the ground, and it is clear at a glance what they are doing.
This is a simplified version of a lightning rod.
People in this world have also discovered that lightning likes to follow metal.
Especially above some towering castles, they like to place an iron pillar on the top of the tower. This is the principle.
Do you really think you can dodge my lightning attack with a lightning rod?
Narante smiled.
These people are simply frogs in the well.
I really thought that the lucky girls only had lightning skills.
Little did they know that once Narant showed his power, there would definitely be a good show waiting for them.
"Since you are unwilling to surrender, let me let you experience what it means that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
However, in order to turn the people in the city from hope to despair, Nalant was not prepared to bulldoze it directly.
Ever since, Nalant began to mobilize his troops and generals.
After the threat of long-range attacks in the city was resolved, Nalant directly dispatched his own Lightning Legion.
The Lightning Legion came to the open space, and Kandel's ears immediately heard the voices of his subordinates.
"Commander Kandel, those girls are the lightning army of these invaders."
"Their power is like that of witches, who can summon dark clouds and lightning. Look, they are ready to start!"
"Haha, my city walls are covered with iron rods."
"These iron rods go straight into the ground, no matter how powerful their lightning is, it's useless!" Kandel looked indifferent.
Because he was informed in advance by spies from the God of Waves Continent, he knew Nalant's team far better than other leaders and priests from the Flame Continent.
And the reality was just as Commander Kandel expected.
The preparations made by the Lightning Legion outside had no effect on him.
Although the Lightning Legion summoned dark clouds and lightning as promised, in the end those flashes were absorbed by the iron pillars up and down the city wall.
Even if the soldiers stood more than ten meters away from the iron pillar, they would still be safe.
"Haha, these invaders, now let me see what you are going to use to attack my city of Machile!"
When the lightning ended, Commander Kandel immediately laughed and cursed.
"The commander is mighty!"
"The commander is mighty!"
The morale of his subordinates was also greatly boosted and they cheered one after another.
Compared with the cheers inside the city, the cheers outside the city are naturally similar.
Everyone in the city looked ugly, especially Quick and others.
This is a setback for my own family.
But Nalant didn't panic at all. He slowly called over the goblin squad and asked them to use trebuchets to attack the outside of the city first.
At this time, there were also many fortifications outside the city.
In this way, only after the outside of the city is leveled can other steps be carried out.
"Yes, my lord!"
After hearing this, the Goblin team immediately started to take care of things.
However, apart from this, Narant had no other arrangements.
"Sir, why don't you let the Hawkmon team sneak into the Maqile City quietly, and then take the opportunity to open the city gate?"
Vivian saw that Nalant had no other instructions except asking the goblins to clear the obstacles outside the city.
Even though I was concerned, I gave an opinion.
"Vivian, don't worry, do you really think there is nothing you can do?"
When Nalant heard this, he laughed.
"Your Excellency, you just want to make this city happy for a while, so that they can know what it means to be toasted and not eat, but to drink as a penalty!"
When Vivian heard this, she nodded and said nothing.
And as Nalant seemed to pause his attack, Kandel in the city became even more arrogant.
He kept instructing his subordinates to shout outside the city, hoping to lower the morale of the Io mainland coalition forces.
"Haha, come on, you invaders of Io continent, didn't you claim to be powerful before?"
"Why is there no movement now?"
"If your little cleverness is restricted, there is nothing you can do!"
"Hahaha!"
In the face of these shouts, although the Io continental coalition forces were furious, they could do nothing without Nalant's order.
On Nalant's side, there is a response, and a lightning army will be dispatched immediately.
However, this time the Lightning Legion no longer rained down lightning on the city.
Instead, it kept raining towards the city.
Facing the changes in the Lightning Legion, the defenders in the city naturally found another topic to laugh at.
"Haha, why don't you release lightning from your lightning!"
"Yes, it started to rain instead. Do you happen to know that there are not many wells in our city and it is too troublesome to get water?"
"Haha, thank you so much for the intruders, hahaha!"
Following the jeers, the soldiers defending the city began to collect water from the wooden buckets and pans.
"Sir..." Quick and others finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't worry, let's see how much they can drink later!"
Nalant directly suppressed the ideas of Quick and others.
People in this city really think that lightning is the true power of the Lightning Legion.
How is this possible, as a time traveler.
Narant knows that weather disasters have caused the greatest harm to human existence since ancient times.
Among these hazards, lightning is actually the least worth mentioning.
Although lightning is very destructive and fast, people can hide from it.
Hiding in the house, hiding in the cave, even to the hypothetical lightning rod later.
As long as you take precautions in advance, it's very easy to defend there.
Because lightning comes and goes quickly, the cost of prevention is not high.
The reason why Nalant's first two attacks were so effective was simply because the enemy was unprepared.
But like now, when the enemy is on guard, the effect exerted by the lightning is minimal.
But lightning has no effect, but other weather methods are not as easy to defend against as lightning.
For example, rain.
Rain seems inconspicuous and does no harm.
But that depends on the number of times and the amount of rainfall...
For example, one or two heavy rains have no power.
What about a hundred or a thousand heavy rainstorms?
Such heavy rains, even in previous lives, would have flooded a modern city in just one day and one night.
What's more, there was a huge city wall in ancient times, like a basin-like city.
And that's what Narant thinks.
Now that the defenders in the city thought they had found a way to defeat their attack.
Then make them happier with iron ahead of other desperate methods.
At first, the amount of rain dropped by the Gifted Daughters was not large, which was controlled intentionally by Narant.
Because he is attacking the city now, he naturally has a certain plan.
In this way, the rain every hour only wets the entire city of Machiavelli.
Let the ground, wells and ditches become full and saturated.
And everyone in Machile City saw this situation.
Instead of panicking, I started dancing happily.
In a besieged city, besides food, water is actually the most important thing.
But now, the rainwater has been stored, enough to drink for at least half a month.
They are naturally happy.
It's just that it's too early for them to be happy.
After these three rains, darkness came.
Just when everyone in the city finished their dinner and looked at the stars and moon above their heads, they were getting ready to rest.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the top of the city wall again.
The defenders didn't pay much attention to this situation.
One is that in the dark night, they cannot see the specific appearance of the gathering of dark clouds, so they only feel that the stars and moon are blocked.
The second is that even if we know that the other party is planning to rain again, there have been three games during the day, so whether the fourth game comes or not is not the same.
With such a small amount of rainfall, their city of Machile has enough drainage channels to drain it away.
However, this time the defenders in the city never dreamed of it.
The three rains during the day were only moderate rains and were deliberately suppressed by the Lightning Legion.
The girls of the Lightning Legion can release the largest amount of rain, which is a heavy rainstorm.
Boom!
Boom!
At first, the sky looked the same as before.
After several thunders, a burst of raindrops fell.
Everyone in the city felt more at ease listening to the raindrops.
On such a rainy day, it would be impossible for the enemies outside the city to make any moves.
