Chapter 1289 Reaping the Consequences
However, at this time, the commander of West Asia City had no time to think about the killing of more than ten Holy City Guards soldiers outside the city.
Because his attention was attracted by the last words spoken by several people.
"What does it mean to detect the traces of Nalant and report it to the army of gods and gods?"
The commander of West Asia City couldn't help but look at the other captains, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
"Lord Commander, could those people be dead soldiers deliberately released by the Legion of God to sow discord?" A captain saw his eyes and spoke in shock. Obviously, what he heard before was not an illusion.
At this time, another captain said: "I don't think so. These intruders are usually extremely arrogant. There is no need to use such a trick on us."
"And haven't you seen that those people are really dead? Who would be willing to use his own life to complete this lie?"
After hearing the words of his subordinates, the commander of West Asia City was left silent.
Because the last name really speaks volumes.
First of all, the performance of those people before did not look like they were cheating.
Secondly, even if it’s fake, what’s the point?
To drive a wedge between himself and others and the high priest?
But even so, the hands of these invaders are stained with the blood of the civilians of their Flame Continent.
Even if they are dissatisfied with the high priest in their hearts, it will never affect their will to fight against the gods' army.
Therefore, there is obviously no need for the Divine Legion to suddenly launch such an inexplicable provocation plan.
In this way, it means that their Flame High Priest really sent out spies, and then reported Nalant's traces to these legions of gods.
Isn't this just repaying kindness with enmity?
In any case, Narant helped them defend the acropolis.
His own high priest actually behaved like this.
However, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, the commander of West Asia City cannot let this incident affect morale for the time being.
In other words, he needs further evidence to 100% confirm this matter.
So the commander of West Asia City said: "Don't think about this matter for the time being, and first appease your respective subordinates."
"After these enemies retreat later, I will send people to the Holy City to find out if the Holy City Guard really has the Captain Keze just now!"
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
All the subordinates nodded in agreement after hearing this.
This matter is no small matter, so it naturally needs to be verified.
And if there really is Captain Keze in the Holy City Guards, then this matter will be considered 100% certain.
While the defenders of West Asia City were thinking a lot, the coalition of gods outside the city retreated after leaving behind several corpses of Flame Continent soldiers.
"Lord God, those Flame Continent soldiers have been executed!"
Soon, soldiers came to report to several gods.
"Everyone, what should we do now?"
After the reporting subordinate left, several gods immediately started discussing.
Upon hearing this, the God of Waves immediately spoke: "What else can we do? Continue the pursuit. These people have attacked four of our cities one after another. They must pay a price."
"Moreover, now that they are heading towards the Flame Holy City, we are just chasing them to make the final judgment."
"If it is really the trap set by the Flame High Priest for us, then no matter who captures the Flame Holy City, he must pay the price for his blasphemy!"
"Okay, then let's continue the pursuit according to what the God of Waves said!"
After all, they were being tricked around. How could a group of gods have ever enjoyed such treatment? They wanted to capture the army in front of them no matter what.
After making the decision, a coalition of gods set off again to pursue.
Of course, in order to prevent the defenders in the West Asian city from attacking from both front and back.
The God of Ice has issued an order. As long as the defenders of West Asia City dare to leave the city, the stationed Ice Legion will immediately attack and destroy them.
"Lord Commander, look, those people are also planning to spare our West Asian city!"
"Yes, Lord Commander, what should we do now?"
Soon the defenders on the city walls of West Asia discovered the movements of this coalition of gods.
The commander of West Asia City stood on the city wall and frowned.
"That army has at least more than 1.8 million people, and there are four flags of gods, which shows that they are a coalition of gods!"
"Even if we leave the city, we won't be able to defeat them. Instead, we may lose the city of West Asia."
"So, let them pass now. If they really attack the Holy City, there will be a lot of supplies that need to be supplied later."
"And when it really comes to that, we will specifically attack their supplies!"
The commander of West Asia City is not stupid, and he has no brains to step forward to intercept.
In addition to blocking the enemy's attack, the biggest role of the acropolis is to prevent the enemy from getting past them to attack the Holy City.
Because they have this thorn in their side, whether it is blocking the opponent's supply line or launching an attack from behind at any time, it will be possible.
The most unwise thing is to rush out immediately and fight to the death with someone.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
Upon hearing this, all the captains watched helplessly as the divine coalition crossed West Asia City.
Naturally, the pursuit of the alliance of gods was quickly noticed by Nalant and others.
At this time, Nalant and others were only more than twenty miles away from the Holy City, and there were even scouts from the Flame Holy City wandering around from time to time.
Only because of the driving force of Nalant's Storm Knights, these scouts did not dare to approach for the time being.
However, if the other party is aware of the problem, I believe more scouts will come soon.
"Sir, the coalition of gods in the rear have already caught up!"
Shirley little Loli conveyed the movement from behind to Nalant.
Narant was not surprised. In fact, he had been waiting for this news.
"Very good, then this is our chance to escape!" Nalant said.
"Sir, how can we escape?" Shirley was a little confused.
At this time, there were scouts from the Flame Holy City everywhere, and there were pursuers behind them.
How can my master realize what he told me before, not only to successfully escape, but also to truly solidify their identity to the Flame Holy City.
"Haha, it's very simple. You'll know it later, Shirley!"
Immediately, Nalant went to his Lightning Legion queue in person.
Then he started explaining to the girls.
After receiving the instructions, the girls immediately put their talents into use.
As his talent was displayed, a strong wind suddenly began to blow around him.
And the strong wind carried the sand and gravel, which actually had the effect of a sandstorm.
As the sandstorm spread, dozens of miles around became an area that seemed to be shrouded in fog.
Even the scouts of the Flame Holy City had to take shelter because of the bad weather.
Of course, there were sandstorms all around, but Narant's team was the only one who was in the eye of the sandstorm and was not affected.
And this sandstorm continued to move along with Nalant and others.
Gradually, Nalant led the team to a location less than three miles outside the Holy City of Flame.
It's not that he wants to humiliate the high priest of fire in the holy city.
But if you want to cross this area, you must take the road near the Flame Holy City.
After all, the Holy City of Flame is the center of the Flame Continent, and the surrounding roads are guided by it and radiate in all directions.
With the arrival of Nalant, sandstorms also swept through half of the Flame Holy City.
As a result, the defenders on the city wall could not look down on the scene three to five hundred meters away.
Even though Nalant and others were only more than three miles away from the Flame Holy City, they seemed to have come and gone without a trace.
Moreover, the dust of the sandstorm can completely hide the traces of their progress.
"Damn it, what the hell kind of weather is this? There's such a big sandstorm."
"Yes, there are sandstorms in our Holy City, but could this be because the high priest asked us to cut down and burn all the trees and vegetation around the Holy City half a year ago?"
"It's really possible. Last time I went outside the city, I saw a lot of sand that had turned white and yellow because there were no trees or vegetation."
On the walls of the Holy City of Flame, soldiers hid in the walls and complained about the sudden spooky weather.
While they were complaining, Nalant's team had completely crossed the Flame Holy City and headed south.
And after crossing the Holy City, he asked the Lightning Legion to reduce the wind speed, and at the same time sent a part of the Lightning Legion girls to the end of the team, and controlled their talents to start raining down rain.
This was because Narant wanted to better hide the traces of their party.
Because this is also the most important part of his plan.
The sandstorm may not be able to cover up their whereabouts 100%, but coupled with the heavy rain, Nalant believes that even the traces of thousands of horses galloping past will be eliminated directly.
After all, there were already many troops mobilizing around the holy city, so the traces and smiles of their group would be even less noticeable.
…
A few hours after Nalant and others crossed the Holy City, a coalition of gods finally arrived outside the Holy City of Flame.
Although the sandstorm covered up some of the traces of Nalant and others, they still followed the traces and found them near the Holy City.
"Lord God, the traces of that army finally disappeared here, and the Holy City of Flame is three miles ahead!"
Standing at the fork in the road, the scouts of the gods' army came to report to the gods.
Just as Nalant thought, there were sandstorms first, and then heavy rains washed them away. Even if they walked through with thousands of troops, the traces had completely disappeared.
Instead, they were heading towards the Holy City of Flame. Due to the constant mobilization of troops and horses in the past few months, there were always traces of chaos on the road.
This forced the scouts of the Divine Legion to be misled.
After all, they never expected that it would be clear skies all the way, but it would rain heavily a few hours ago.
And the downpour was quite strange, as it only fell as wide as the road.
And these traces of rainwater, because there is not much water, have long been baked away by the hot sunshine.
Dang Dang Dang!
Just after the legion finished reporting, an urgent alarm bell sounded from the Flame Holy City in the distance.
And all the gods naturally knew that the Holy City must have discovered traces of themselves and others.
In fact, on the way before, they encountered many scouts from the Flame Holy City.
They caught and hurried without any thought of hiding their traces.
"Let's go directly to the bottom of the Flame Holy City!"
The four gods had gloomy faces. At this time, they were 100% sure that they had fallen into the trap of the Flame High Priest.
They never imagined that this high priest of fire would have such courage and thought, and specially designed such a complete set to plot against them.
The reason why many gods fall into this trap is entirely because they are usually too confident and arrogant.
After they thought about it, after the death of the God of Fire, even if the High Priest of Fire resisted, he was still afraid of these gods in his heart.
In this way, they have a huge psychological advantage, and they feel that mere mortal ants will definitely not dare to play too many tricks.
But unexpectedly, this time he encountered a courageous mortal ant.
Soon, a group of gods led their subordinates to a location less than one mile away from the Flame Holy City.
"Let your flames be sacrificed! Our four gods want to see him!"
When the army came to a stop, a small group of cavalry immediately came to the bottom of the city wall.
With a roar, all the defenders on the city wall were immediately startled.
The four gods arrived together, but they had never encountered such a situation before.
Soon, the Flame High Priest who got the news hurried to the city wall.
When he saw the nearly two million coalition forces of gods and gods outside the city, he couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes.
But in order to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates, he suppressed his fear.
"I am the High Priest of Fire. What do you gods want from me?"
The Flame High Priest spoke loudly to the cavalry below.
The cavalryman did not answer him, because there were already four gods coming from behind in luxurious carriages towards the bottom of the city wall.
Soon, the carriage stopped and four gods appeared.
As soon as they appeared, the huge pressure was released.
Suddenly, the defenders on the city wall felt inexplicably panic and fear.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Flame High Priest gritted his teeth and recited a few words of prayer, and a burst of light immediately shone in the temple behind the city.
When the light swept across the city wall, the fear and pressure on the soldiers weakened slightly.
Although the God of Fire has fallen, the remaining divine power in the statue is still strong for the time being.
"Are you the High Priest of Flame?" Several gods did not care about the divine light in the city.
After giving Yiji a show of strength, the God of Waves spoke first.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I am the High Priest of Flame!" The High Priest of Flame pretended to be confident.
"Very good, then I want to ask you now, where did you get the courage to blaspheme our gods?" The God of Waves called teasing into blasphemy.
After all, gods also want to save face.
But the Flame High Priest felt baffled.
Just as these gods thought, in order to preserve the holy city and maintain his status, he could bravely confront the gods.
But he would never dare to use despicable means to insult or scheme against these gods.
Even if they are planning, it is still considered their divine army.
"Really? You dare to quibble in the face of the gods. Let us ask you, you sent spies to deliberately tell us that it was Nalant who helped you defeat the gods' army a few days ago."
"And you also know where Nalant's location is. Is this something related?"
