Just as Nalant finished speaking, a swift eagle flapped its wings and landed from the sky.
Little Shirley immediately held the Swift Eagle in front of her.
Following Swift Eagle's report, Shirley's eyes widened immediately: "Sir, you are really right. Those legions of gods have already begun their fierce attack on the Holy City of Flame."
"And all the legions of gods launched a fierce attack at the same time."
"And because the soldiers on the Acropolis don't have enough to eat, and without the command of those commanders, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the Acropolis has weakened a lot, which makes the defense of the Holy City even more difficult!"
"Has it started? That's good. It's almost time for us to take action!" Nalant nodded.
At that moment, he called Quick directly, and then ordered the army to start pulling out the camp.
After packing up the camp, Nalant led the army straight to the Holy City of Flame.
Only after arriving two or three miles away from the Holy City of Flame did Nalant set up camp again.
The defenders on the city wall were shocked when they saw Nalant's team.
After all, several other city walls are now being attacked by the legions of gods, but there are no enemies on the south side. This also allows the defenders of the Flame Holy City to breathe a sigh of relief.
But if Nalant also joins the battle, the defense of the Flame Holy City will become more difficult.
Fortunately, although Nalant set up camp outside the city, he had no intention of attacking immediately.
After setting up the camp, they did nothing else except release a large number of scouts, which also made the high priest of fire and the city guard commander in the city breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Of course, even if Nalant did not join the battle, the other four legions of gods would continue to attack.
Just three or four days later, the Flame Holy City was on the verge of collapse.
Because many city guard soldiers could not bear the fierce fighting, they even began to secretly leave their posts and hide in the city.
Although the commander of the city guard also strictly arrests deserters, they will be killed if found.
But it still couldn't change the situation.
After all, the soldiers of the City Guards are from middle- and upper-class noble families, and it is okay to show off their power in front of believers and civilians.
But when faced with a truly bloody battle, a small number of people will still feel fear.
And the more this happens, the more unstable the military morale in the city becomes.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, more than a hundred deserters were caught today!"
The commander of the city guard will come to the temple to report every afternoon.
These days, the high-spirited spirit that day because of the suppression of several Acropolis commanders has long since disappeared.
Whether it was the commander of the city guard or the high priest of the flames, the worry on his face became obvious.
They all know that once the city wall is breached, they and others will suffer the consequences.
"They must be allowed to hold on, not only for the sake of our holy city, but also for their families."
"Tell them not to think that they can survive by hiding. If those divine invaders break through the city wall, they will also die by then!"
The Flame High Priest looked gloomy. He didn't expect the city guards to be so useless.
Some time ago, because there were soldiers from the Acropolis holding it up, it was not obvious that the situation was serious.
But as the soldiers of the Acropolis fell silent, the situation of the city guards was immediately highlighted.
The current Flame High Priest even slightly regrets why he had to deal with those Acropolis Commanders.
If I had known earlier, I would have waited until the war was over before dealing with them.
Of course, there is no regret in taking medicine in this world, and the Flame High Priest at that time did not know that these low-level soldiers who he usually looked down upon were so powerful.
In addition, even if he realizes the situation now, the Flame High Priest will not make changes.
Because even if he releases those commanders, he still needs to worry about whether these Acropolis commanders will bite him back.
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
"Well, in addition, you also tell them that if they don't fight well, their family will also be implicated."
"Now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary measures should be used!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
Faced with the arrangement of the Flame High Priest, the city guard commanders all obeyed obediently.
Immediately, when the city guard commander retreated, the Flame High Priest fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, he had already expected that the Holy City would be destroyed.
Whether it is because the city guards cannot be reused, or the food in the city is about to be exhausted.
This all means that the Flame Holy City cannot last long.
In fact, if it had been before, if the Holy City of Flame really couldn't be defended, he would have changed his appearance and pretended to be an ordinary civilian to avoid this disaster.
But now, with the blasphemy on his back, it may be difficult to escape.
After all, the former high priest was dispensable to the gods. He was still just an ant. What they wanted was the holy city and the temple.
But it's different now. He has become an equally important existence in the holy city and the temple.
Those soldiers of the legion of gods will definitely congratulate him for catching him, the high priest of fire, as the highest honor.
"No, I have to find a way!"
The eyes of the Flame High Priest began to flicker, and then he seemed to have made some important decision.
So he first spread out the letter paper on the table beside him, and then started writing on it.
After the writing was completed, he found several of his most confidants.
"Lord High Priest!"
Several attendants knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Get up, I have an extremely important thing here that needs you to go and do!"
"Then let the four of you send these envelopes to several god legion camps respectively!"
"Remember, apart from the four of you, no fifth person can know about this mission!"
The High Priest of Flame spoke solemnly.
These attendants can also be regarded as dead warriors, whom he deliberately cultivated after becoming the high priest.
He also has hundreds of such attendants.
Although his strength is not particularly high, he is loyal enough to kneel down.
"Yes, Lord High Priest!"
When several people heard that they were going to deliver a message to several legions of gods, they did not show any strange expressions on their faces, but responded respectfully.
Obviously, they are truly obedient to the orders of the Flame High Priest and will not consider anything else.
"Very good, go now, remember that this letter must be handed over to their gods with your own hands!"
Immediately, the Flame High Priest led several people to the back of the temple.
Behind the He Temple is a cliff with a height of four to five hundred meters.
However, the Flame High Priest had already made arrangements here and prepared a rope long enough.
In this way, the attendants who were responsible for delivering the message were all lowered into the hanging basket along the ropes.
It was almost late at night, and several messengers arrived near the legions of gods one after another.
Of course, their whereabouts were quickly discovered by the scouts of these gods' legions.
"who!"
When the scout saw the attendant appearing alone outside the city, he immediately drew his sword and questioned him.
"I come from the Flame Holy City Temple, and I have a letter here that I want to give to your god!" The attendant also received an explanation, so he responded to his purpose in a cooperative manner.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the Flame High Priest, these attendants will not reveal the identity of the Flame High Priest until they meet the gods.
In this way, he only said that he came from the temple, and this identity was enough to attract the other party's attention.
"Want to see the gods?"
Several scouts immediately tied up the attendant and took him to the camp.
The attendants were very cooperative and showed no resistance.
Soon, the news about the attendants reached the ears of the gods.
At this time, this camp is where the Wave Legion is.
The God of Waves looked at the attendants who were brought in and said with interest: "Are you from the Flame Temple?"
"Yes, Lord Kami!"
"Did the High Priest of Fire ask you to come?" the God of Waves continued to ask.
"Yes, Lord God, our Lord Priest asked me to send this letter to you!"
After speaking, the attendant respectfully placed the letter with his hands on his head.
The soldiers of the Wave Legion on the side saw this, took the letter, and immediately sent it to the God of Waves.
The God of Waves looked at the paint on it and then opened the letter.
After opening the letter and looking at it for a moment, the God of Waves did not show any surprise.
Instead, he said with a sarcastic smile: "It seems that the God of Fire has misjudged the person. Before the city was breached, he was thinking about saving his life!"
The content of this letter is very simple, that is, the Flame High Priest is willing to sacrifice the Holy City to obtain the protection and guarantee of the God of Waves.
In addition to ensuring that the High Priest of Fire will not be killed, it would be best for the God of Waves to hand over a city to him so that he can continue to live a wealthy and luxurious life.
Even if the God of Waves is willing, it won't be a problem for him to serve as the God of Waves' agent for the Flame Continent.
It has to be said that the Flame High Priest has completely betrayed the God of Flame and the believers and civilians of the Flame Continent.
But facing the ridicule of the God of Waves, the attendant seemed not to hear it.
Even though I didn't know the content of the letter before, I wasn't surprised when I heard it now.
"In addition to asking you to deliver a message to our Wave Legion, your Flame High Priest also contacted several other legions of gods?"
Seeing that the attendant continued to bury his head, the God of Waves knew that this was a dead soldier of the Flame High Priest. Obviously, he didn't care whether the Flame High Priest was shameless or not.
Just start asking the real question.
Regarding this question, the Flame High Priest had already explained it, so the attendant replied: "Yes, Lord God, besides me, there are three other messengers who left the Holy City together!"
"Hmph, he is quite smart!" After receiving the confirmation, the God of Waves snorted coldly.
It was obvious that the Flame High Priest wanted to use the Holy City as a bargaining chip and then sell it at the best price.
In this way, if you want to sell at a good price, you naturally need more competitors.
This is also the reason why the Flame High Priest will send people to the four legions of gods at the same time.
"In this way, you go back and tell your Flame High Priest that I, the God of Waves, can guarantee his safety, and will also give him a big city with a million people for him to serve as the city lord, ensuring that he can live happily in the city for the rest of his life."
"Of course, although it is just a city with a million people, it is not the agent of the entire Flame Continent, but you have to tell him."
"Even if we, the legions of gods, conquer the Holy City of Flame first, we may not be able to control the entire continent in the future."
"And being the first to capture the Holy City only means that we can obtain the origin of God. In this way, our Wave Continent is the strongest among the several divine continents."
"If he doesn't want to get nothing in the end, then it would be best for him to cooperate with our Wave Legion."
"After all, being the lord of a city with a population of one million is better than getting nothing at all!"
The God of Waves immediately gave his bargaining chip.
Although he despised the behavior of the Flame High Priest, the God of Waves would not refuse such a deal.
You even need to fight hard. After all, obtaining the Holy City of Flame not only has extraordinary significance, but also allows you to obtain the origin of God.
"Yes, Lord God, I will bring your words back to the High Priest!"
Then, the attendant was escorted out of the legion camp by the people of the Wave Legion.
In other legions of gods, similar things happened.
Taking advantage of the darkness, several attendants quickly returned to the temple.
The Flame High Priest quickly asked the results from several attendants.
Unsurprisingly, the four legions of gods were willing to ensure his safety at the cost of the Holy City.
As for other benefits, the Wave Legion promised a city with one million people, and the War Legion promised a city with three million people.
The Storm Legion and Ice Legion are weaker, but the promised city population has reached five million.
The Flame High Priest immediately fell into thinking about which side he should choose to join.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to join the Wave Legion.
As the God of Waves said, among all the legions of gods, he is most optimistic about the Legion of Waves.
In this way, although the chips offered by the God of Waves are a bit low.
But a city with a million people is enough for him to enjoy.
Thinking of this, the Flame High Priest immediately began to think about how to successfully complete this deal with the Wave Legion.
And this matter was of great importance. Except for his close confidants, who were more than a hundred dead soldiers, he didn't believe anyone else.
Even as the commander of the city guard, he could not guarantee 100% whether his plan would backfire on him after he learned of it.
"At that time, we must find a way to transfer the city guard commander. That way, the resistance encountered when the city gate is opened will be much smaller."
"When the time comes, as long as the people from the Wave Legion rush into the city, I won't need to worry anymore!"
Thinking like this, the Flame High Priest must have thought of a way to successfully sell the Holy City to the Wave Legion.
Moreover, this matter must be completed as soon as possible.
Because in order to prevent other legions from feeling that his winning rate is not high after he makes a decision, if he exposes the matter with the idea that no one can think of it, then his plan will definitely encounter some troubles.
So, he decided to take action tomorrow night.
Because he and a group of the Kingdom of God’s legions said that he would give them a reply in two days.
In this way, I will directly hand over the Holy City to the Wave Legion tomorrow, so I no longer have to worry about the matter being exposed.
…
When the Flame High Priest made arrangements to pack up and sell the Holy City to the Wave Legion in exchange for a chance to survive, Nalant also became excited.
Because this also means that the time has come to obtain the Holy City.
However, Nalant did not make any announcement about this matter for the time being, but left the camp alone and went to the Holy City of Flame.
If you want to capture the Holy City without spending a single soldier, you will need the help of a few seeds you planted.
