"Everyone, please contact your respective captains first. We will meet at the gate of the front city wall later."
"At this time, the Flame High Priest is also rushing to the gate of the front city wall!"
After leading a group of acropolis commanders out of the temple without any danger, Nalant directly asked the acropolis commanders to disperse.
Whether we can capture the Holy City tonight depends on the leaders of the Acropolis and the Acropolis soldiers.
"Yes, Lord Nalant!"
Naturally, the Acropolis commanders had nothing to object to.
As a result, all the captains headed towards the defense areas where their subordinates were.
Nalant, on the other hand, sneaked all the way and rushed directly to the main entrance of the Flame Holy City.
About twenty minutes later, Nalant arrived at the main entrance of the Holy City of Flame.
However, the High Priest of Flame had not arrived yet, and Nalant saw his car on the way.
After all, the Flame High Priest was riding in a carriage, so he couldn't rush too fast in such an open and honest manner, otherwise it would be too easy to arouse the suspicion of the city guards on duty halfway.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the convoy of the Flame High Priest finally arrived.
At this time, Nalant also saw the Acropolis commanders arriving one after another.
"Your Excellency Nalant!" The first person to come was the leader of Nuk City.
"Well, how's it going? Have you contacted me yet?"
"Your Excellency Nalant, we have been contacted, and our Acropolis soldiers are ready."
"If something really happens, the Acropolis soldiers are willing to listen to us and prevent the Holy City from falling into the hands of the legions of gods!"
The leader of Nuk City responded softly.
"Very good, let's watch the show next. The High Priest of Fire has just arrived and will probably start taking action soon!"
After hearing this, the leader of Nuk City said no more, and then quietly followed Nalant to lie down on a roof, looking at the convoy of the Flame High Priest hundreds of meters away.
"Who are you? The gate of the city wall is not allowed to be approached without an order!"
It has to be said that although the city guard's combat effectiveness is somewhat weak.
But in order to prevent the city from being captured by the legions of gods, discipline is still necessary.
Seeing the arrival of the convoy of the Flame High Priest, the unknown defenders immediately shouted loudly.
Following this loud shout, hundreds of soldiers around them pressed their hands on their weapons to be on guard.
And hundreds of meters of long archers appeared on the city wall, waiting in full formation.
"Don't be nervous, it's me!"
At this moment, the Flame High Priest came out of the carriage.
When they saw the High Priest of Fire, the city guard soldiers were shocked and quickly knelt down to salute.
"I have met the High Priest. Please forgive me. I didn't know that it was the High Priest who was coming!"
"Well, everyone, get up!" The Flame High Priest waved his hand lightly.
Then he added: "Tonight, the enemy set fire to the rear of the Holy City. At this time, the city guard commander led people to put out the fire and take precautions."
"I'm worried that the front wall will encounter the same situation as the past few days, so I came to supervise the battle in person. Is there any movement from the enemy now?"
"Your Majesty the High Priest, there are already flashes of fire in the enemy camp, indicating that they are gathering troops and will soon launch a night raid as usual!"
"Well, take me up there and have a look!"
The Flame High Priest nodded and asked a captain of the city guard to lead him up the city wall.
After reaching the city wall, there were indeed flashes of fire inside and outside the Wave Legion camp outside the city.
In fact, the Flame High Priest is well aware of this.
His plan tonight can only be executed with the help of the wave army's attack.
As a result, the High Priest of Fire pretended to inspect, but actually waited.
Woohoo!
Soon, the attack horn of the Wave Legion was heard outside the city.
Dang Dang Dang!
At that moment, there was a response from the Flame Holy City, and the soldiers immediately sounded the alarm.
Then a large group of Acropolis soldiers were pushed and woken up by the city guards and pulled to the edge of the city wall.
These acropolis were in extremely poor mental condition because they had not had enough to eat for days and were in daily battles.
But the Flame High Priest naturally didn't say anything about this.
It was his idea to use these Acropolis soldiers as cannon fodder.
"kill!"
It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Wave Legion to arrive under the city wall, and a battle broke out between the two sides.
The Flame High Priest knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately ordered: "The enemy has begun to attack, what are you still doing? Call the long archers and city guards to fight!"
Hearing this, the captain of the city guard was speechless and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, the high priest, those long archers are to prevent enemies in the city from sneak attack on the city gate."
"And these city guard soldiers are a reserve team. Once the enemy really starts to attack, they will be dispatched!"
"Don't worry for those in the city, aren't there the city guards I brought with me now?"
"Look, the soldiers of the Wave Legion are almost on the city wall. What are you waiting for?" The Flame High Priest's face darkened and he spoke with some displeasure.
When the captain of the city guard heard this, he naturally did not dare to say anything more, "Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
Immediately, the captain of the city guard immediately called on the long archers and the remaining city guards to join the battle.
Although it would be a complete waste of force to let the subsequent city guards join, but who could call it the order of the High Priest of Fire?
After the long archers and city guards looking in the direction of the main entrance were transferred away, there was no need for the Flame High Priest to issue any orders.
The dead soldiers he brought below looked at each other and stood next to the remaining dozens of city guard soldiers.
Puff puff!
Then without any warning, these dead soldiers launched an attack.
All the long swords pierced into the bodies of these city guards.
"Hurry and open the city gate!"
After dealing with these soldiers, the dead soldiers immediately went to the city gate and then completely opened the city gate.
When the city gate was fully opened, more than a dozen dead soldiers rode horses and bolted towards the outside of the city.
The Wave Legion soldiers outside the city who were attacking the city were a little stunned when they saw this scene.
What's going on? Why does the city gate open automatically when I open it?
It turns out that although the Flame High Priest has determined who he wants to cooperate with, he does not dare to reveal the news in advance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because he is worried that once the news is leaked, he will face the attack from the other three legions of gods.
After all, although he can trust his own confidants 100%, who knows if there are spies of other gods in those gods' legions.
Even if there were no spies, after his news spread, other companies would definitely be on guard.
In this way, only when the time comes can you ensure that your victory will not be unexpected.
"Ah, what's going on? How did those knights get out of the city?"
"No, the city gate has been opened!"
At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall also discovered a problem.
Immediately came the exclamations of the city guard captains.
"My city guards are guarding below. How could the city gate be opened? You all stay here for me. I'll go down and check!"
But just when several city guard captains were anxious, the Flame High Priest stopped them.
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
Faced with the orders of the high priest, these captains still obeyed.
Even though I was anxious at the moment, I could only obey obediently.
Then, I saw the high priest of the flames quickly coming to the city, and ordered to the dead soldiers, "Bring white cloths and wait for the wave army to arrive. I will go to the carriage first. Remember, even if you die, you must ensure that the city gate is opened."
!”
"Anyone who wants to get close to the city gate will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Lord High Priest!"
Upon hearing this, the dead soldiers immediately took out the sleeves they had prepared in advance and hung them on their arms.
The Flame High Priest was hiding in the carriage.
This is just in case, if something unexpected happens, as long as she doesn't show up, the situation in the city can still be saved!
…
At the same time, the dozen or so dead soldiers outside the city had arrived in front of the Wave Legion camp as quickly as possible.
"We are sent by the High Priest of Fire, please get out of the way, we want to see the God of Waves!"
Following the shouting, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to stop him, and the rangers also followed around and did not step forward to stop him.
It wasn't until they arrived in front of the Wave Legion camp that they were blocked.
But at this time, the God of Waves had already heard the news of the opening of the Flame Holy City, and came to the wooden wall of the camp.
"Lord God of Waves, our High Priest is willing to choose to cooperate with you, Wave Continent. Now that the city gate has been opened, please send troops immediately, otherwise changes may occur if time goes by!"
Seeing the God of Fire, several dead soldiers didn't waste any time and immediately told the purpose of their coming.
After hearing this, the God of Waves was naturally overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha, you High Priest made a wise choice."
"Come here, send troops into the city immediately!"
"Yes, Lord God!"
Immediately, the Flame Legion immediately began a big move. The first to be dispatched were the large cavalry, and then the elite legionnaires.
These soldiers were all heading towards the Flame Holy City in a steady stream.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the high priest closed the city gate yet?"
Although they were ordered by the high priest not to pay attention to the city gate, the captains of the city guards who were guarding the city were still a little worried. They were looking down on the city wall with their heads down.
However, they found that soldiers from the Wave Legion were already attacking the city and began to run towards the city.
And the wave legion army in the distance came even more menacingly.
As a result, the captain immediately led more than 100 meters of subordinates towards the city.
When I climbed down the stairs, I saw more than a hundred fellow city guards standing at the gate, but they remained indifferent.
So he quickly came down below and asked the soldiers
"Where is your Excellency the High Priest? What's going on with you? Go and close the door quickly! A large army of enemy troops is coming from a distance!"
Puff puff!
However, what they responded to was a gleaming white sword.
In an instant, two or three unsuspecting city guard soldiers were chopped down.
This captain was not weak in strength, so he reflected on it immediately.
"Damn it, they are spies and traitors, kill them quickly and close the door!"
Even though the city guard captain was slow to react, he still woke up.
Of course, if these people hadn't been brought by the Flame High Priest, he would have woken up earlier.
Immediately, a group of city guards fought with more than a hundred dead soldiers.
However, most of the city guards were blocked on the stairs, and for a while the captain and others were unable to break through the defense of the dead soldiers.
Moreover, as the siege soldiers of the Wave Legion outside the city reacted, those soldiers also began to enter the city and join the battle.
…
"Damn it, the high priest actually betrayed the Lord God of Fire!"
"Quick, let's go to help immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"
At this time, everything that happened at the city gate fell into the eyes of Nalant and a group of Acropolis commanders who were lying on the roof not far away.
Seeing the fierce battle taking place at the gate of the city, these Acropolis commanders were eager to step forward immediately.
"etc!"
But just as they were about to move, they were immediately stopped by Nalant!
"Your Excellency Nalant!" Today's Acropolis commanders still fully agree with Nalant's words.
In this way, even though he was anxious, he still stopped his body.
"If you go over now, you won't be able to save much of the situation. Think about it, why is the High Priest of Flame hiding now?"
"He is just in case things are exposed and he will be accused of betrayal, so if you jump out, you may change the outcome of tonight's defeat."
"But it absolutely cannot change the decision of the Flame High Priest to continue to use the Holy City as a bargaining chip in the future!" Nalant said.
"Your Excellency Nalant, what should we do?" After hearing this, all the Acropolis commanders were very reasonable.
Although they might be able to close the door if they rush out.
But now that the High Priest of Fire is hiding, they have no evidence that it was the High Priest of Fire who ordered it.
"Do you still remember what you promised me last night?"
"Lord Nalant, of course we remember that the High Priest of Fire has rebelled. No matter what we do, our Holy City may not have much time left!"
"So, even if we have to bear the reputation of a traitor, we are willing to hand over the Holy City to you so that the civilians in the city can survive in the future!"
Naturally, several Acropolis commanders will not forget it.
And at this time, they also knew that there was probably no hope for the Holy City in their hands.
In this way, there will naturally be no resistance to handing over the holy city to Nalant.
"Very good. Since you agreed, then you should listen to me. Not only will the Flame High Priest reveal his true colors, but it will also protect the Holy City!"
"Yes, Lord Narante!"
When the commanders of the guards heard the words, they immediately responded.
Then, Narant's plan finally started.
First of all, the commander of the city guard who was busy putting out the fire suddenly received a report from a soldier, saying that the gate of the city wall had been opened by spies and that he needed immediate help.
Upon hearing this, the city guard commander did not hesitate at all, leaving some of his subordinates to put out the fire, and quickly headed towards the city gate with a total of fifty thousand people.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the news from the city gate to reach him.
Even if it is transmitted, it will take half an hour to an hour.
If this is the case, the day lilies will be cold by the time the city guards lead them over.
As the city guard commander rushed to the main entrance of the city wall, a group of guards commanders began to issue assembly orders to their respective captains.
When they came this time, they were accompanied by people.
Soon, these Acropolis soldiers gathered together, and their number reached half a million.
Of course, compared to the previous period when there were at least over a million Acropolis soldiers, the casualties at this time were already over half.
And these casualties have been caused in recent days.
One can imagine how miserable they were squeezed.
