He didn't expect why Collier would get things to this point.
Originally, according to his imagination, as long as a few severe crackdowns were carried out during the day, these civilians would stay at home.
"Your Majesty, these civilians are rioting. They don't obey orders at all."
"The five thousand people you gave me have been surrounded by them!" Collier also informed Kandel of the situation in the city.
"How is it possible that those untouchables have such courage?"
"Your Majesty, there are some people among the civilians who are specifically agitating, which is why these civilians rioted."
"My subordinates feel that those who are specifically agitating should be instigated by the wealthy households in the city, because they are all better dressed."
"What's more important is that these civilians had a lot of weapons in their hands. Being caught off guard, the subordinate's team was directly surrounded by them. Finally, when the subordinate saw that something was wrong, he quickly fled to report, otherwise he would probably be attacked by the mob in the same way.
Surround."
Collier still seems to be frightened.
"Damn it, they are still indispensable. Come with me. Those mobs dare to undermine the stability of Machile City. This is betrayal of the God of Fire. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
Kandel suddenly became furious when he heard that it was the rich man who was instigating it again.
He already knew what happened during the day.
Those who controlled the soldiers and opened the back gate of Machle City were all rich people and their guards.
Now those wealthy households have fled, but I didn't expect that these wealthy households in the city would still be so bold.
Soon, Kandel came to the city with a group of close subordinates, but by this time, the five thousand soldiers had already been wiped out by a group of angry civilians.
When Kandel saw this, he immediately became furious.
"You untouchables dare to riot. Do you know that you are betraying the God of Fire?"
"Come here, kill all these mobs!"
Kandel immediately issued the order. He wanted to deal with these mobs as quickly as possible.
"Don't be afraid of them. We also have weapons in our hands. If you fight with them, we won't survive tonight."
"That's right, everyone will fight with them unless they are willing to open the city gate and let us out of the city."
On the civilian side, there were also people shouting in the crowd.
Previously, a group of civilians had greatly increased their confidence due to the encirclement and suppression of five thousand soldiers. Now when they heard the agitation, these civilians really screamed and started to rush towards Kandel's people.
Soon, a war broke out in the city again.
Of course, Kandel sent 20,000 people this time, so he would not be completely surrounded like before due to lack of numerical advantage.
Even because Kandel directly issued the order of suppression as soon as he appeared on the scene, the soldiers were no longer as confused as before, wondering whether they should kill the civilians.
All of a sudden, there were cries of killing and wails and screams in the city of Machile.
However, the few people who had been encouraging before retreated to the outermost edge of the crowd and quickly headed towards the east area of the city.
Not long after, several people knocked on the doors of various mansions and manors.
"Sir, there's already a fight over there, and Commander Kandel has personally arrived with his soldiers!"
"Okay, let's take action now, this is our only chance!"
Hearing this, these wealthy households cheered loudly, and then headed toward the side door of the city wall with their waiting family members and guards.
And these wealthy households did not act alone. When they passed the residences of other wealthy households, the wealthy households in these mansions and estates would also join them with their families and guards.
But in a short time, this group of wealthy households gathered tens of thousands of people and approached the city gate in the dark.
"who?"
Soon, when these people arrived at the city gate, they were immediately discovered by the guards on duty above.
"It's us. Open the city gate quickly and leave together. Otherwise, when the army of invaders comes tomorrow, Macile City will no longer be able to defend it."
Several people immediately ran out among these wealthy households.
When some soldiers or captains on the city wall saw this, they couldn't help but speak out.
He may be called father, or eldest brother, but in short, he has many relatives among them.
"There's no time, hurry up!"
When these wealthy households heard this, they quickly urged them.
When the soldier or captain on duty heard this, he hesitated for a moment and chose to open the city gate.
As the city gate opened, the wealthy family immediately began to flee with their families.
However, this scene was immediately discovered by the soldiers a little further away.
Dang Dang Dang!
Suddenly, intensive alarm bells sounded from the city wall.
Hearing the alarm bell, groups of soldiers rushed towards this direction.
After the city gate was opened for the first time during the day, Kandel had already given instructions, so these soldiers reacted so quickly.
When the rich people saw this, they immediately shouted to the guards: "Quick, go and stop these soldiers!"
These guards had long been promised heavy rewards, and their families were among the ranks.
Hearing this, they all rushed towards the additional soldiers.
Soon, a fierce battle broke out on the wall on this side.
"what happened?"
Kandel, who was still in the city at this time, soon heard the bell and noticed the fighting breaking out on the side wall.
But after only being dull for a moment, Kandel guessed what was going on in the next moment.
"These damn guys must have opened the city gate and escaped again!"
Kandel was so angry that he couldn't care less about these civilians. He left these subordinates where they were and immediately headed towards the side wall.
With Kandel's departure, the morale of the soldiers in these cities was greatly reduced.
Because not only did the commander leave, but shouts of killing came from the side walls. They didn't know what the situation was now.
"Kill, everyone, kill them, and then we can go directly to the city gate and open it."
"Kill!"
Compared with the declining morale of the soldiers defending the city, the civilians now have greater confidence.
They thought that other places in the city had gathered to resist Kandel. And, as chaos broke out on the side walls and in the center of the city, more and more chaos occurred in other parts of the city.
The civilians knew that staying in the city would be a dead end.
As Kandel's control over the city weakened in the darkness, the city had completely become a paradise for rioting civilians.
"Kill, kill these guys who want us to die in the city!"
More and more civilians followed the sound and came to the center of the city to besiege.
"Hurry... retreat quickly!"
Seeing this, Collier had no choice but to continue issuing the order to retreat.
Under such circumstances, if hundreds of thousands of civilians emerge from the surrounding alleys later, no one will be able to leave.
Next, this team of 20,000 people followed in their previous footsteps and began to retreat steadily.
As they retreated, the civilians became even more excited.
"Come on, let's open the city gate!"
"That's right, let's open the city gate immediately before we have a chance to escape."
Of course, these civilians are also very smart. They know that opening the city gate now is the best way.
Otherwise, once they wait until dawn, civilians like them will have no advantage.
At this time, Kandel did not know that other civilians in the city were already heading towards the gate of the city wall, and he soon came to the wall on the side.
When he saw tens of thousands of civilians fighting life and death with the soldiers, he immediately became furious.
"You damn mob!"
Boom!
Boom!
Commander Kandel began to take action desperately, and the sword in his hand whirred as he swung it.
The loud explosions frightened the wealthy households who had been stranded to death, and they began to flee.
Upon seeing this, many of the guards of wealthy households gave up the fight and chose to jump from the city wall towards the outside of the city.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" When the wealthy people and guards were dispersed, Kandel's subordinates immediately cheered.
After all, Kandel just appeared for a moment and immediately turned the situation around.
Kandel didn't look too happy, because today's encounter had exhausted his good mood.
"Close the city gate immediately and strengthen your realm!"
Kandel gave instructions to his subordinates.
He did not order any more subordinates to pursue the fleeing rich and common people.
Because he knew that it would be best to stabilize the situation in the city before dawn.
As for dealing with these mobs, you can deal with them however you want after daybreak.
Dang Dang Dang!
And just as Kandel was thinking this, the alarm bell sounded again in his ears.
When he turned around to look, he found that both the front city wall and the city wall on the other side were lit by fire.
"Damn it!" Kandel was almost furious.
He has an impulse now.
That is, even if the army of Io continent does not slaughter all these civilians, he still wants to kill them all.
But how could Kandel know that as long as he did not allow civilians to evacuate the city, it would be absolutely impossible for the civilians to live in peace.
Seeing the warning signals coming from two places at the same time, Kandel did not choose to go to the front wall to support him, but instead went to the wall on the other side.
The reason was that a large number of his subordinates were stationed on the front wall, accounting for two-thirds of the army in March.
Just a few untouchables will definitely not be able to make waves.
But the side wall is different. The number of guards is actually not that many, and it is very easy for the untouchables to attack from the inside.
But Kandel didn't know that the seemingly impregnable main entrance was actually not as impregnable as imagined.
As groups of civilians advanced, hundreds of thousands of civilians gathered under the main gate wall.
"Everyone retreats, everyone retreats, otherwise the commander-in-chief has ordered, and those who dare to approach will be shot without mercy!"
"Also, do you know that what you are doing is betraying the God of Fire?"
Seeing the dense crowd of civilians, the subordinates did not dare to take action immediately.
In addition to the large number of people on the other side, they really can't attack civilians.
"We just want to live, why do you want to stop us?"
"Priest Rem was also killed by Kandel. You are the ones who really betrayed the God of Fire."
Despite the warnings from the guards, the civilians still slowly approached the city gates and walls.
"Pool, what should we do now? Do we take action immediately?"
At the same time, the few captains left by Kandel above the city wall were in a dilemma.
"Gude, you are crazy. They are all civilians in Machle City and believers of the God of Fire."
"We killed them. What difference does it make to betray the God of Fire?" Captain Poole said.
"But Poole, Master Kandel has already told you that anyone who comes near will be killed without mercy."
"These civilians will soon enter the restricted area. If we don't kill them, I'm afraid we will be attacked by them soon!" Captain Goode immediately retorted.
"Good, have you ever thought about whether what the Commander-in-Chief has done these past two days is a little too much?" Captain Poole looked around and spoke to Captain Good in a low voice.
"Pool, this... aren't you afraid that the commander will find out and punish you?" Goode's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Poole to be so courageous.
"Gude, isn't the commander here?" Gude shook his head.
"Besides, what I said is true. You saw the situation during the day. The civilians were forced to take shelter on the roofs by the floods."
"If the floodwaters were half a centimeter higher, most of the roofs in the city would be submerged."
"Have you ever thought about how many civilians will be killed or injured by then?"

"Since the invaders outside the city promised to let the civilians leave, why don't we agree?"
"Anyway, we can let the civilians leave through the back door or the side doors on both sides."
"At that time, we will monitor the enemy's every move on the city wall. If they make any changes, we can immediately close the city gate in time."
"Instead of like now, no civilian is allowed to leave!"
Poole explained to Captain Goode.
Captain Goode fell silent after hearing this. Naturally, they also knew about this matter.
But there is a real difference between knowing clearly and speaking out.
Unexpectedly, Poole had the courage to point it out directly.
"Pool, what do you want?" Good looked at Poole again.
"Gude, maybe we have failed in this war since the chaos began in the city and the civilians resisted us."
"Look at the situation in the city now. There are shouts of killing everywhere."
"They are all civilians in the city, believers we want to protect! But they don't seem to be willing to protect us."
"So, did our commander do something wrong?"
"Of course, I am sure that as soon as the night passes, these civilians will be severely liquidated."
"So Good, we can't make any more mistakes by following Commander Kandel." Poole finished speaking slowly, staring at Poole intently.
Fortunately, if he dared to say these words in front of Gude, he must have a certain degree of confidence that Gude would agree with him.
Goode was silent for a moment, and then finally said: "Pool, you are right, the Lord Commander is indeed wrong."
