"This..." The Flame High Priest suddenly changed his expression.
He did do this, but he just asked his subordinates to do it.
After all, there are many people who know that Nalant helped his Flame Continent Acropolis.
If I did it openly, I would definitely look despicable and shameless.
Originally, if this matter was not made public, it would not have any impact, but now the god actually asked the question in front of the entire Holy City's defenders, which directly made the matter public.
Sure enough, when the surrounding defenders heard this, they all looked at their high priest in surprise.
"Is this true? The high priest actually told these legions of gods the whereabouts of Nanalant."
"No way, these legions of gods have come to kill millions of civilians in the Flame Continent along the way."
"Yes, although that Nalant was also an intruder, I heard that he never killed civilians along the way."
"Even after the battle, they would not mistreat the prisoners, but send them away on the spot, and even give them travel expenses to return to their hometown!"
There were a lot of whispers and discussions around him, mainly because the news was too explosive.
In the eyes of everyone, although Nalant was an intruder, he not only had no bad reputation along the way, but was well publicized everywhere.
This is mainly because with the Legion of Gods as a comparison, the identity of Nalant and others as invaders is directly weakened.
Even a few days ago, Nalant helped four Acropolis defeat the Divine Army, causing the Divine Legion to suffer a lot.
This news was even faintly spread among the Holy City Guards.
If the Flame High Priest really did this, it would really be incomprehensible to all the soldiers defending the city.
"Quiet!"
The Flame High Priest also faintly heard the discussions around him, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted loudly at the people around him.
When the surrounding commanders and captains saw this, they also yelled at their subordinates.
In this way, the city wall finally became quiet.
Seeing that his subordinates were suppressed, the Flame High Priest thought for a moment and finally said: "Yes, this is indeed the case."
"Because I sensed that Narant may have a bigger intention, or that he may seem benevolent on the surface, but in fact he is trying to win people's hearts."
"So I tell you the news, and I want you invaders to have an internal fight!"
The High Priest of Fire admitted it generously.
Of course, even though I have admitted that I did it.
But the motive is deliberately beautified.
Naturally, this beautified motive was told to all his subordinates.
It can be regarded as adding the last layer of fig leaf to myself.
"Haha, since you are sure that those spies were sent by you, then we want to ask, why are those so-called Nalant troops still wearing the uniforms of your Flame Continent soldiers?" The God of Waves below asked with a sneer.
.
In his opinion, the Flame High Priest's hesitation and all other actions just now were just cover-ups.
After all, if Nalant really helped Flame Guard City, he couldn't think of any kind of person who would do such a thing to repay a favor with a grudge.
Isn't this too shameless?
I'm afraid the Dark Demon is nothing more than this.
Of course, this is also because the God of Waves and others are now '100% sure' that they were tricked by the High Priest of Fire.
This time, he preconceived the idea that all the actions of the Flame High Priest were acting.
The Flame High Priest was stunned when he heard this. He was a little confused.
Shouldn't Nalant's army be wearing Nalant's army clothes?
Why are you wearing the clothes of your own Flame Continent soldier?
In addition, if it is really the army of our own Flame Continent, it would be even more impossible.
Now most of the Flame Continent's troops are huddled in the city. Except for the scouts, how can other troops dare to leave the city?
"Your Excellency, God of Waves, I don't understand what you mean by this? Our soldiers from the Flame Continent are all within the Holy City and a number of guard cities."
The Flame High Priest asked and spoke.
"High Priest of Fire, you are still pretending. You deliberately gave us false information and then lured us to attack Nalant."
"In fact, they deliberately set traps to wait for us, and then took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack four of our cities."
"Our four cities combined have more than 100,000 soldiers, and you killed them all!"
"To be honest, High Priest of Fire, your plan really works."
"But you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't play tricks on our gods. Do you know what the consequences will be if you blaspheme the gods?"
The God of Waves spoke coldly.
"This... our plan? Your Excellency, God of Waves, are you mistaken? I don't have any plan, let alone blaspheming you gods, and I sent an army to attack your city!" The high priest of the flames was a little at a loss.
.
Cold sweat broke out on my back.
If you offend the gods, you will be targeted by the gods.
If there was no offense, even if he was defeated, he would still have a chance to blend in with the crowd unharmed, and he might even have a chance to survive after negotiating the terms of surrender.
But after offending the gods, there is no chance of survival.
The gods will find him at all costs and then kill him in the most cruel way.
Such as burning, stoning, quartering the body with five horses and other invasive tortures.
"Haha, Flame High Priest, do you think you can still quibble? It seems that you really want to treat us gods as fools, and you want to continue to blaspheme us."
"Why do you think we are here? We are chasing the army you sent to the Holy City of Fire. Have they already entered the city?" The God of Waves laughed angrily.
He thought that the Flame High Priest's denial was just sophistry, and he still wanted to show off his tricks in front of gods like them.
But the Flame High Priest was really anxious to death.
He really didn't send any troops, "Your Majesty, God of Waves, I really didn't send any troops, and the gates of our Flame Holy City have never been opened."
"Because opening the city gate requires my personal order, otherwise even the scouts can only use the hanging basket to get out of the city."
"Hmph, it seems that you, the High Priest of Fire, are ready to commit blasphemy to the end!"
"That's fine. Our four gods will let you, the blasphemer, know the consequences of blaspheming the gods."
"Besides that, I want to see if there are any other ways you can continue to quibble."
After speaking, the God of Waves waved his hand.
Immediately, soldiers of the Divine Legion came to the front escorting more than thirty people dressed as Flame Continent soldiers.
These Flame Continent soldiers are the scouts who were captured by the Legion of God not long ago.
"We did see an army belonging to our Flame Continent, but we only saw him coming towards the Holy City, and we don't know the rest. Please don't fight us anymore."
"Yes, that army is very long, at least hundreds of thousands of people. They are coming towards the Holy City. That's all we know."
These scout prisoners all had scars on their bodies, and they were obviously tortured by the gods' legions to extract confessions.
After all, the Legion of Gods is not a good person.
Especially now that he is being teased by Nalant, there is absolutely no place to vent his suppressed anger.
"High Priest of Fire, if you release everyone in that army now and accept the punishment of our Kingdom of God coalition forces, then we can forgive your blasphemy."
"If you don't hand it over, you will lose your last chance to make amends."
After showing the evidence, the God of Waves and other gods looked blankly at the High Priest of Fire.
The Flame High Priest was completely unaware of the situation and immediately asked the commander and captain beside him: "Did you let the troops enter the city?"
"Your Majesty the High Priest, we have not let anyone enter the city, but some scouts did report that a large army belonging to us was found in the nearby area."
"After the scout reported, I have sent a herald to send the news to the temple. It is estimated that these gods' coalition forces have arrived before the temple has a chance to send it to the high priest."
When the commander heard this, he immediately explained to the Flame High Priest.
It’s no wonder that the Flame High Priest was so slow to receive the news.
Because the Flame High Priest doesn't understand military affairs at all, he must be informed of all the news.
There will be a certain lag in the messages that can be sent to the temple.
It would be good if only the commanders and captains of the city defenders could receive the report as soon as possible.
"Damn it, where did that army go?"
The Flame High Priest suddenly cursed.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain around the Holy City. Our scouts were unable to continue to detect traces of that army."
"However, my subordinates speculate that they should have crossed the road outside our holy city and headed in the other direction. Otherwise, these gods' coalition forces were coming from the direction of West Asia City, and it is impossible not to encounter them." The commander.
continued.
Upon hearing this, the Flame High Priest immediately spoke downwards and said: "Your Excellency, God of Waves, an army did appear near our Flame Holy City before, but they have already bypassed our Flame Holy City and left towards the other end."
"Also, if they are really wearing the clothes of our Flame Continent soldiers, I think it must be Nalant's trick."
"Why don't you gods lead the coalition forces to pursue us now, and then we can find out the situation clearly.
"High Priest of Flame, it seems that you really want to be a determined blasphemer."
"Very well then, we will satisfy you!"
The God of Waves didn't believe the lies of the High Priest of Fire at all.
Mainly because their scouts had already explained that the army finally fled into the Holy City.
At that moment, the God of Waves directly pulled out the divine sword from his waist, and then slashed it down towards the Flame Holy City.
Boom!
Buzz!
The divine sword slashed down, and a huge roar exploded on the city wall.
Fortunately, this flame holy city is also maintained by a magic circle, so it consumes magic and divine power to block this attack.
But the soldiers on the city wall were having a hard time.
Immediately, hundreds of people were knocked away by the shock wave.
As for the Flame High Priest, fortunately, with the blessing of divine power and the commander beside him who risked his life to protect him, he was not injured.
But even so, it scared him quite a bit.
God took action himself, which shows that the other party is really angry.
"Your Majesty God, please don't do anything, please listen to my explanation!" The Flame High Priest immediately spoke to the gods below.
"What else do you want to say?" The God of Waves temporarily stopped.
"Lord God, I can guarantee that the army before was definitely not mine, and I did not blaspheme the gods."
"If the gods don't believe it, I am willing to send an army to pursue you." The Flame High Priest said.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, how is this possible?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, we don't have to bow to these invaders. They really want to attack the city, so let them try!"
Faced with such a low profile of the Flame High Priest, the surrounding commanders and captains immediately spoke out eagerly.
In their view, the high priest was asking for perfection.
My Flame Continent was originally the party being invaded, and now I am still helping these legions of gods to hunt down others with a low profile. How is that possible?
However, how could the leaders and captains understand the mood of the Flame High Priest.
He now devotes all his energy to removing his blasphemous reputation.
Otherwise, he could imagine that he would be doomed no matter what.
So, he didn't care so much, as long as he could survive, everything would be fine.
"Shut up, do you still know that I am the high priest of the Flame Continent?"
Faced with the scolding of the Flame High Priest, the leaders and captains naturally did not dare to refute at this time and immediately shut their mouths.
The gods below looked at each other, "What do you think this high priest of fire wants to do?"
"Is it true that he didn't send that team?"
"Is he still acting?"
"Acting, whether he is actually acting or not, since he wants to send troops, then we will let him send troops!"
"Yes, even if he is acting, let's see how he defends the city when the time comes!"
Immediately, all the gods immediately unanimously agreed to agree to the request of the flame high priest.
After all, no matter what, if the Flame High Priest is willing to send troops, then they have nothing to lose.
Even if the high priest of fire can no longer play the role in the end, he and others can still destroy hundreds of thousands of his troops in one fell swoop.
"High Priest of Fire, since you request so, we will give you another chance."
"How many troops are you prepared to send?" the God of Waves asked.
"I am willing to send 500,000 troops, but I need the gods to promise not to attack my army and ensure their safety!"
The Flame High Priest breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the army, he is not stupid and needs the guarantee of these gods.
"Yes, if it is confirmed that you are not a blasphemer, then our divine army promises not to attack your army!"
"But the High Priest of Flame, we give you the opportunity, and we hope you will take advantage of it!" The God of Waves agreed.
"Don't worry, your Excellencies, I will prove that I have not blasphemed in this matter!" the Flame High Priest replied immediately.
Then, the coalition of gods retreated to a place thirty miles away from the Holy City of Flame.
In the Flame Holy City, troops also began to be mobilized to prepare to leave the city.
Although the leaders and captains were very resistant to the orders of the Flame High Priest.
But in the end, he had no choice but to obey his orders.
In order to handle this situation well, the Flame High Priest specially sent one of his most trusted commanders and two captains.
"Listen carefully, this mission is to catch up with that team and fight them in a big battle!"
"You don't have to annihilate them all. You just need to prove that the army is fake!"
