"Your Majesty the High Priest, everything has been arranged. According to your instructions, I will have people make a big noise on the wall behind the Holy City after dark."
"As soon as there is any movement, I will immediately mobilize the troops to support the rear under the orders of the high priest, leaving only the acropolis commanders to guard the front gates."
"And the Wave Legion outside the city will attack twice every night. When they realize that the defense of the front city wall is weak, I think they will definitely not miss this opportunity."
In the Temple of the God of Fire, the High Priest of Fire and the City Guard Commander were discussing tonight's plan.
And tonight, they will launch an erasure plan against several Acropolis commanders.
As long as a few commanders are eliminated, then the soldiers of the Acropolis will be well controlled by them, and there will no longer be such hidden dangers.
"Very good, then go ahead and do it!"
The Flame High Priest nodded and gave instructions to the city guard commander.
"Yes, High Priest!"
Immediately, the city guards slowly exited the hall.
At the same time, after a day's journey, Nalant's army finally arrived near the Flame Holy City.
However, he did not get too close like other legions of gods, but hid in a forest more than ten miles away from the Holy City of Flame.
"Quick, let the Knights of the Storm be ready for battle later!"
After setting up camp, Nalant immediately called for Quick.
"Sir, aren't we going to attack the Flame Holy City?"
Quick was a little confused.
If they attack the city, they Tempest Knights will be temporarily useless.
After all, cavalry can only exert its greatest advantage in flat areas.
If the knights dismount, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
But now there are still more than ten miles away from the Holy City of Flame, and my master is camped here.
Obviously tonight's action was not for them to attack the city.
"Quick, we will not attack the Holy City of Flame for the time being, because even if we attack the Holy City of Flame, we will still have to pay a lot of casualties."
"Sir, I am going to try and see if I can get some of the Flame Continent soldiers in the city to voluntarily open the city gate."
Nalant did not hide it from Quick.
"Sir, this High Priest of Flame will not surrender even if he faces an army of gods. He probably won't surrender."
"And this is the Holy City of Fire. I'm afraid those soldiers would have surrendered before, but they wouldn't dare in this Holy City of Fire!"
Quick felt that his lord's idea might not be feasible.
Because a holy city is extremely sacred in the hearts of all believers.
In this way, with this feature, even though many soldiers from the Flame Continent may have been willing to surrender in other cities before.
But I'm afraid that won't happen here, especially when there is a high priest of fire directing it above your head.
Otherwise, they will choose to surrender when the time comes, but others in the city will not be willing to surrender.
Then they will definitely bear the reputation of traitors.
I am afraid that few people would dare to betray themselves in front of their own gods.
"Quick, I have also considered this, but the Flame High Priest himself is too useless, so he still gave us a 50% chance of success."
"In this case, even if there is only a 50% chance, it is still worth a try. Anyway, if you want to storm the Flame Holy City, it will not take a day or two."
"If my attempt really doesn't work, it won't be too late to think of other ways."
Narant explained.
"Yes, sir!" The reason why Quick said so much was naturally not because he was disobedient.
I just want to understand my master's plans.
Now that he knew his master's plan, he naturally had nothing else to say.
After giving orders to Quick, Nalant did not stay in the camp for long, but took advantage of the darkness and flew directly into the sky.
Heading towards the Flame Holy City.
Arriving quietly above the Holy City of Flame, the plan of the Flame High Priest and the commander of the city guards just started to be implemented.
Dang Dang Dang!
Urgent alarm bells rang out from behind the Flame Holy City, and a large amount of firelight erupted from the wall behind.
The flame soldiers on the other three sections of the city wall were all shocked when they saw this. They had never seen such a fierce battle in this period of time.
Not long after, the commander of the city guard rode a fast horse to the front city wall.
"The Second Brigade, the Third Brigade, and the Fourth Brigade of the City Guards obey orders!"
"Lord Commander, my subordinates are here!" The three duty brigades located above the front city wall responded immediately.
"The city wall at the rear was attacked by the invaders of the Legion of Gods. They sent lurking spies inside and outside to cooperate. At this time, the city wall at the rear is in urgent need of support. You should follow me immediately."
The commander of the city guard yelled.
"Yes, Lord Commander!" Naturally, the three city guard brigades did not hesitate at all.
At that moment, the captain leading the team immediately started giving instructions to his soldiers.
Three brigades with more than 30,000 people began to dismantle the city wall.
Tonight, there were six city guard commanders on the front wall. Upon seeing this, they immediately turned to the city guard commander.
"Your Excellency, the original minimum guarding limit for the front city wall was 70,000 people, but now you have mobilized 30,000 people and left us with less than 40,000 people."
"When the Wave Legion's attack is detected, I'm afraid they will also launch a strong attack!"
Although the two sides had conflicts and dissatisfaction before, for the safety of the Flame Holy City, several Acropolis commanders still did their best.
The commander of the city guard was also very active at this time and said immediately: "Captains, don't worry, the army behind the city is already gathering and reorganizing."
"Within half an hour at most, they will come to support and make up for the missing defense!"
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, all the Acropolis commanders breathed a sigh of relief.
In half an hour, even if the wave army outside the city launched a strong attack, they could still withstand it.
After the city guards left the front city wall, Nalant did not show up to meet the acropolis commanders.
Because at this time, he had no intention of telling the high priest's plan to the Acropolis commanders.
After all, if I go down and make it clear to the Acropolis commanders now, whether they believe it or not, there will actually be no substantial harm to the Acropolis commanders.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without substantial harm, it will be difficult for Nalant to achieve his goal.
In this way, what he needs is to make the acropolis commander and soldiers on the front wall feel hurt.
If I inform them of this matter when the time comes, the gap between them and the Flame High Priest will be infinitely enlarged.
After the gap between the two sides is infinitely enlarged, they have the real possibility to directly turn against the High Priest of Water Flame and open the city gate for themselves.
On the contrary, if I did not cause serious harm to them, even if I tell them the truth, I am afraid that the most I will receive is their gratitude.
But this gratitude, as Quick said, is not enough for them to bear the name of traitors without any scruples.
Of course, don't blame Nalant for being cold-blooded and helplessly watching the Acropolis soldiers below fall into the trap and bleed.
Because what he needs to consider now is the Io continent soldiers he brought.
If he now cares about the maintenance soldiers of the Flame Continent, then he will also need to join the team that storms the Holy City of Flame.
And in the storming, there is no telling how many soldiers from the Io continent will die.
In this way, comparing the two, Nalant naturally chose to protect his own people.
While Nalant was thinking, the wave army outside the city also took action.
They should have also noticed the movement behind the Flame Holy City, and now they have advanced their daily attack time at night.
And just like them, the War Legion and the Storm Legion also noticed the movement and launched an attack.
The attack now is not only to prevent other gods from taking advantage of the army.
Another idea is that if other aspects of the Flame Holy City are surprised, the support will definitely come from other city walls.
And they will probably become weak here.
With such a plan, the Wave Legion assembled an army of 100,000 in the first wave and began to attack the city.
Of course, these 100,000 troops are still ordinary soldiers, not elite legionnaires.
"kill!"
However, one hundred thousand ordinary soldiers are not that easy to deal with.
In particular, the strength of the Acropolis soldiers on duty on the city wall was not much stronger.
Dang Dang Dang!
"Defense! Defense!"
Acropolis commanders led their subordinates to guard specific areas of the city wall.
As the enemy got closer and closer, they started shouting and giving orders to their subordinates one by one.
A battle broke out quickly between the two sides, because the originally 100-meter-wide moat outside the holy city had long been filled in.
The soldiers of Wave Continent who attack like this only need to quickly come to the city wall and then they can directly use siege equipment to climb the wall.
"Shoot the arrows and don't let them climb up!"
All of a sudden, there were endless roars and wailing sounds from up and down the city wall.
After fighting for about ten minutes, the God of Waves immediately received the news from the front.
"Lord God, there don't seem to be many flame defenders on the city wall tonight."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"Lord God, you can confirm that we have dragon knights conducting reconnaissance near the city wall."
"I found that when we attacked, only the city guards were on duty tonight, but the city guards who were always ready to increase their numbers in the rear were nowhere to be seen."
"So, the number of defenders on the front wall at this moment definitely does not exceed 40,000!"
The subordinate immediately replied affirmatively.
"If this is the case, then send 20,000 legion soldiers to give it a try!"
The God of Waves did not hesitate.
"Yes, Lord God!"
Woohoo!
Soon, the horn sounded again in the Wave Legion camp, and then 20,000 elite Wave Legion soldiers left the camp and attacked the city wall.
"No, the enemy has sent out legionnaires!"
And when the soldiers of the Wave Legion approached hundreds of meters away from the city wall, they were immediately discovered by a group of Acropolis commanders on the city wall.
After all, the soldiers of the Divine Legion are very different from ordinary soldiers.
Whether it is decoration or equipment, it can be recognized at a glance.
"Don't panic, everyone, just use all your strength to defend. Support from our city will arrive soon1"
However, facing the soldiers of the divine legion outside the city participating in the battle, the commanders of the Acropolis were still calm at this time and did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
Because they felt that as long as the city guard support arrived in the city later, no matter how many enemies came, it would not be a problem.
"Yes, Captain!"
Then, a group of Acropolis soldiers also continued to fight.
But as time went by, it soon came to half an hour later.
At this time, the battle between the two sides has entered a fierce stage.
Because of the addition of legionnaires and the numerical advantage.
Many soldiers from Waves Continent have already climbed onto the city wall.
Although many soldiers who climbed onto the wall were eventually driven off, as time went by, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city was declining.
Due to the ebb and flow, I'm afraid that if the reinforcements don't come again, they will be in some danger.
"Lord God, our army has begun to climb up the city wall one after another. The maintenance soldiers may not be able to hold it up in a short while!" The condition of the city wall in front was quickly reported to the God of Waves.
"Oh? What are the defenders in the Flame Holy City planning to do? Are the attacks on other city walls very fierce?"
After hearing this, the God of Waves became a little confused.
After all, there is actually no shortage of defenders in the Flame Holy City.
Although the strength is somewhat low, the number of soldiers can reach at least three to four million.
Even though I have consumed a lot these days, I still have about three million.
With such a huge quantity, there should not be a shortage of manpower.
In this case, either the other city walls are now in great danger and have completely attracted the defenders away.
Either that or the Flame Holy City is up to something else.
However, the God of Waves is naturally not afraid of this.
"Assemble thirty thousand legion soldiers again and let them join the battlefield immediately!"
Baotao Zi Shui ordered.
"Yes, Lord God!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates immediately went to take care of things.
Not long after, 30,000 Wave Legion soldiers were assembled, and these soldiers immediately joined the battle to siege the city.
And with their joining, the pressure on the defenders, who were already at a slight disadvantage, increased.
"What exactly happened? It's been almost an hour, I'm afraid. Why haven't the reinforcements from the city guard arrived yet?"
At this time, the commanders of the city guards still did not feel that there was any conspiracy behind the city guards not coming to support them.
On the contrary, I felt that some danger might have occurred to the city guards.
In this way, a group of guards commanders simply sent messengers to ask for help.
At the same time, he loudly encouraged his subordinates to continue to persevere.
But no matter how brave the soldiers of the Acropolis were, those soldiers from the Wave Continent who attacked the city walls were gradually able to gain a foothold.
This is the most terrifying stage.
Once the enemy can gain a foothold on the city wall, there will be a steady stream of enemies scaling the wall.
After all, in a city defense battle, the easiest time to defend is when the enemy is climbing on the city wall.
At that time, whether it was shooting arrows or hitting rocks, it could very well prevent the enemy from attacking.
But if you lose the opportunity to get close to the wall, there will be no danger for the enemy to climb.
"Warriors of the Flame Continent, hold on. Behind us is the temple of the God of Fire. We must not retreat!"
"Even if we fight to the last drop of blood, we cannot let the enemy take the Holy City."
"And our support will be back soon, kill!"
Several Acropolis commanders once again shouted to boost morale, and at the same time they finally joined the battle.
