After entering the holy city, Nalant quietly arrived at the dungeon on the temple mountain.
In order to avoid being discovered by the guards, he teleported directly into the dungeon.
After entering the dungeon, Nalan Lanhuai first appeared in the cell of the leader of Beitie City.
But at this moment, the commander of Beitecheng was already a little out of character.
His hair was dry and messy, his complexion was even sallower, his eye sockets were sunken and the corners of his mouth were chapped, and he had a lot of beard.
"Why is it so miserable?"
Although I knew that the Flame High Priest would definitely not give these commanders an easy life if they were detained, but I didn't expect that it would be so miserable.
These commanders have the strength of majestic paladins, and they only need to be equipped with a giant dragon to become a dragon knight.
But now they are obviously looking like this because of hunger and thirst.
One can imagine how stingy the food given was to starve a dragon knight like this.
At this time, the commander of Beitecheng was lying on a pile of thatch. Although he noticed some movement, he did not open his eyes to check.
I guess I was already so hungry that I had no energy left, so I didn't want to put in any extra effort to get up and check.
Nalant saw this, but walked over, and then whispered: "Commander of Beitecheng!"
"Huh?" In a daze, Commander Bei Tiecheng only felt that he heard a familiar calling voice.
This voice seems to be that of Lord Narant.
"I must be hallucinating, it seems I'm about to starve to death!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng had a slight reaction, but immediately fell silent again.
He thought it was his hallucination because Narant had saved him twice before when he was almost in despair.
So I have subconsciously developed a sense of dependence.
"Commander of Beitecheng, I am Nalant!"
Seeing this, Narant called out again.
But this time, Commander Bei Tiecheng finally understood that it was not an illusion.
Immediately he opened his eyes and looked at Nalant.
"Your Excellency Nalant, am I not dreaming?"
The commander of Beitecheng tremblingly raised his hands to touch Nalant, wanting to confirm again whether the scene in front of him was true or false.
"You are not dreaming. I am here to see you. Get up and sit down!"
Nalant didn't mind, and directly took the arm of the commander of Beitecheng and made him sit up.
Then he took out a small piece of cake and a small jar of water from the storage space.
When he saw the cake and water, Bei Tiecheng didn't care to say anything else, he immediately took them and ate them hungrily.
Unfortunately, the cake was only half the size of a fist, and Commander Bei Tiecheng ate it in just two bites.
Seeing this, Nalant didn't take out any more cakes, although he had all kinds of big fish and meat in his storage space.
But at this time, with Bei Tiecheng in command, any more food would be harmful to him.
After all, if a person who has been hungry for a long time eats a huge amount of food in an instant, he will die.
Commander Beitecheng himself did not ask for food again, but wiped his mouth before looking at Nalant gratefully.
"Your Excellency Nalant, thank you for coming to visit us, but it is too dangerous here. It is better for Your Excellency Nalant to leave as soon as possible!"
"You don't have to worry about my safety, and my coming here this time is not just to take a look at you."
"But I want to tell all the Acropolis commanders some bad news!"
Nalant smiled and shook his head and said.
"Bad news? Mr. Nalant, I don't know what the news is. Could it be that the High Priest of Flame is planning to execute us?"
Commander Bei Tiecheng was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he came up with a guess.
In his heart, he already knew that he and several other Acropolis leaders would be eliminated by the Flame High Priest sooner or later.
This is not too surprising.
What surprised him was that Nalant shook his head and said, "Commander of Beitie City, this is not the news. In order to make the Acropolis soldiers obediently serve as cannon fodder, the Flame High Priest does not dare to deal with you for the time being. He needs to
I will use you as a bargaining chip to make your subordinates obey me."
"Your Excellency Nalant, what other bad news is there?"
Commander Bei Tiecheng was a little confused now.
"I'm afraid this bad news is what you Acropolis commanders least want to see, that is, the Flame Holy City is about to fall."
"And it will be tomorrow night."
Nalant stopped talking and informed the situation directly.
"What, the Holy City is about to fall!" Upon hearing this result, Commander Beitecheng's face became even uglier than when he had guessed that he might be executed.
Obviously, the capture of the Holy City was still more important to them than their own life and death.
"Your Excellency Nalant, there are many city guards in the city. Even if the city guards' combat effectiveness is terrible, they are well-equipped and should be able to defend it for a period of time!"
"Of course, I don't doubt Lord Nalant's news. I just don't know which invader from the Kingdom of God will invade the city?!"
"Commander Bei Tiecheng, what you said is indeed correct. If normal conditions prevail, the Flame Holy City can indeed hold on for a period of time."
"At the very least, there is a high probability that it will not be breached until all the food is consumed, but this is only under normal circumstances."
"There are many ways for a city to be breached, and one of the easiest ways for a city to be breached is to have a traitor, and a very high-status traitor!" Nalant said with a smile.
"The traitor, is he the commander of the city guard? Or another captain?"
Commander Bei Tiecheng understood instantly, and couldn't help showing a look of resentment on his face.
If the city is attacked frontally by the enemy, there will naturally be nothing to say.
But the betrayal by the traitor is absolutely unbearable, and the traitor's status is not low.
"It's not the commander or captain of the city guard, but the high priest of your Flame Continent!"
"What, the High Priest of Fire has become a traitor, Lord Nalant, how is this possible? Why would he do this?"
Although I and others have fallen to this point, it is all because of the Flame High Priest.
But Commander Bei Tiecheng and others never dreamed that the high priest of fire would betray the God of Fire.
After all, he is the high priest, and in the past he was the agent of the high priest of fire. He is the highest status existence after the god of fire and the divine envoy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why do you do this? Isn't it simple? I'm just afraid of death!"
"Once people are afraid of death, they will do many unexpected things. Commander Beitecheng, you don't have to be too surprised. The Flame High Priest..."
Immediately, Nalant told the commander of Beitie City why the Flame High Priest was preparing to betray the Holy City of Flame and how he would carry out all this.
"This traitor, he really deserves to die. The Holy City and the Temple are our last hope in the Flame Continent."
"Once the holy city and temple are occupied by the legions of gods, Lord Flame's divine origin will definitely be taken away by those gods, and Lord Flame God will never be able to recover from the future!" Commander Bei Tiecheng's face showed an incomparable expression.
Angry look.
In his opinion, the Flame High Priest had definitely done something heinous.
"This is indeed the case, and this is also the reason why I came here this time. Commander Beitecheng, I want to ask you, do you want to keep Beitecheng?"
Narante smiled and spoke.
"Of course I have!" Commander Bei Tiecheng replied without any hesitation.
"Your Excellency Nalant, I wonder what you can do?"
"The way is very simple, that is to let my army enter the city and take over the entire Flame Holy City from now on!"
Narant continued to speak.
"Let Lord Nalant's army enter the city?!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng did not expect this method.
He immediately fell into a brief silence.
If it were to be an acropolis or something like that, Commander Bei Tiecheng might not hesitate to agree this time.
But if it was the Holy City of Flame, he still had worries in his heart.
After all, the Flame Holy City is still the most sacred area in their hearts.
If this area is given to the enemy, no matter what their starting point is, they may be suspected of betraying the God of Fire.
Of course, this is just my previous thought.
If the Flame High Priest is really planning to sell out the Holy City to those legions of gods, it would be better to hand over the Flame Holy City to Nalant.
After all, with Nalant's kindness, the Flame Holy City was handed over to him, and at least the civilians were safe.
And if Mr. Nalant still abides by his previous promise, he can also keep the statue and belief of the God of Fire.
"Lord Nalant, if...if the Flame High Priest is really planning to rebel, then I feel that handing over the Holy City to Lord Nalant is the best outcome!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng expressed his thoughts immediately.
Of course, as he spoke, the Beitecheng commander felt a little bit ashamed.
The reason is very simple. His words have a premise, that is, if the Flame High Priest is really ready to rebel.
Doesn't these words mean that he doesn't trust Narant?
Narant had saved them twice.
"Haha, Commander Bei Tiecheng, don't feel you owe me anything, and don't feel embarrassed."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to promise the Holy City and the Temple to others without any reservation based on a single thought."
"This has nothing to do with being suspicious or distrustful, but rather being cautious about the faith in your heart!"
Nalant saw the dilemma of the commander of Beitecheng, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort him.
This is the reverse routine.
It was obviously Narant who made money from this matter.
But he still pretended to be considerate of Commander Beitecheng.
Commander Bei Tiecheng also looked like he was crying with gratitude.
"Okay, Commander Beitecheng, I believe there will be a result tomorrow as to whether the Flame High Priest really betrayed."
"And when I come here tonight, I just want to say hello to you commanders in advance, and then let you cultivate your state!"
"Commander Bei Tiecheng, you have a good rest. I will go see the other commanders now and tell them about this incident!"
"Okay, Lord Nalant!" Commander Beitecheng nodded immediately.
Immediately, Nalant left a few pieces of cake and a jug of water, and then headed to the next cell of the Acropolis Commander.
The experiences of these Acropolis commanders were all the same. Every one of them was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
It is estimated that if Nalant had not come to rescue them, I am afraid that these Acropolis commanders would have starved to death within half a month at most.
At the other Acropolis commanders, Narante woke them up in the same way, gave them some food and water, and then told them about the High Priest of Fire.
These Acropolis commanders were all shocked by the plans of the Flame High Priest.
But after hearing Nalant's suggestion, they, like the commander of Beitie City, had the idea that rather than letting the holy city fall into the hands of those divine legions, it would be better to give it to Nalant.
After getting this answer from everyone, Nalant agreed to arrive again tomorrow and let the Acropolis commanders remember to take a good rest tonight.
After that, Nalant left the dungeon directly.
…
The next night, the action of the Flame High Priest officially began.
He first ordered his confidants to set fire to the area behind the Flame Holy City.
The fire caused a large number of houses to be set alight, and flames shot into the sky.
Taking this, the Flame High Priest personally came forward and ordered the city guard commander to lead people to extinguish the fire and at the same time strengthen the defense of the city's back entrance.
Naturally, the commander of the city guard didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He even felt that it was necessary to send more manpower to garrison the rear area tonight.
Since the enemy can set fire to such a large area of houses in this city, it means that the enemy must have many spies in this city.
After the city guard commander went to put out the fire, the flame high priest said to the leader of the dead soldiers: "Are you ready?"
"Master High Priest, preparations are complete!"
After hearing the inquiry and confirming that nothing was missing from the hundreds of heavily armed dead soldiers, the leader immediately reported to the Flame High Priest.
"In that case, let's go!"
The Flame High Priest didn't hesitate and boarded a carriage that had been prepared long ago.
The dead soldiers were wearing city guard uniforms and following on both sides of the carriage.
Tonight's action is crucial, and the Flame High Priest naturally needs to personally control the battle.
And with his status as the high priest, his subordinates can do things better.
…
And when the Flame High Priest began to launch his own plan.
Narante came to the temple dungeon again.
There are at least hundreds of guards inside and outside the dungeon, but for Nalant, who has the mysterious and unpredictable space teleportation, it is not difficult to solve them.
After knocking down the guards on duty in the dungeon one by one, Narant opened the cells of the acropolis leaders.
"I have met Lord Nalant!"
The spirits of several people have improved a lot today.
Although he only ate the equivalent of two or three meals, a titled knight is a titled knight after all.
With food intake, the recovery ability is terrifying.
"Well, fellow fellows, please put on your clothes. I will take you out now. The Flame High Priest has started to take action, and there is not much time left for us!"
Nalant stopped talking and pointed to the armors of several soldiers at the end of the corridor not far away.
Nalant himself can come and go without a trace without worrying about being discovered by guards in other temple areas.
But the Acropolis commanders still need to be cautious.
After all, this is the temple of the Flame Holy City, and it is definitely heavily guarded.
"Okay, Lord Nalant!"
When several commanders heard that the Flame High Priest had begun to take action, they immediately went to the unconscious city guard soldiers without any hesitation, then took off their armor and put it on themselves.
"Let's go out!"
After finishing dressing and confirming that nothing was missing, the leaders and Nalant left the dungeon directly.
