Chapter 1297 Undercurrent

And the snow and ice that fell was enough for the coalition of gods on the city wall to eat a pot.

It rained heavily for two days, and almost none of the defenders in the city could keep themselves dry.

Now as the ice and snow fall, all the gods and gods can only feel their whole bodies trembling.

"Lord Commander, we... what should we do now?"

On the city wall, a group of allied soldiers from the Kingdom of God were shivering all over, and their armors were frozen to the bone.

And because the city was full of snow, they couldn't even find some firewood to keep warm.

"We...we are bald tailed!"

A leader in charge of leading the team immediately suggested speaking up.

"Okay, let's break out!"

This proposal was immediately recognized by the commanders of the other three divine legions.

Of course, they were all trapped on the city wall at this time, and how to retreat became a problem.

In the end, these gods' coalition simply pulled thousands of ropes behind Peak City.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, they began to evacuate along the rope.

It's just that they don't know that every move they make is under Nalant's surveillance.

As a result, Nalant's army was already ambushing them outside.

When these gods' coalition forces were halfway down, Nalant's army immediately rushed out.

"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"

With a sound of sonar rand, these cold and hungry soldiers of the Legion of God had no will to resist at all.

They immediately raised their hands and surrendered, and the number reached more than 200,000.

As for the more than 200,000 god-legion coalition forces remaining on the city wall, they were actually prepared to fight tooth and nail.

Narant did not tolerate them either, and once again made the talented girls suffer heavy rain and snowstorm.

After repeating this for two days, these guys could no longer hold on and took the initiative to surrender to Nalant's army with white flags.

Under the surveillance of Nalant's army, these soldiers of the Divine Legion first took off their weapons and armor, and then followed the rope to the bottom of the city wall to surrender.

"Lord Narante is mighty!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to defeat the coalition of gods and legions so easily!"

For Nalant taking back Pika City without any effort, the leaders of the Flame Continent who had been captured by Nalant paid high respect to him.

Before this, they had never thought that the Legion of Gods could be so vulnerable.

Of course, they also followed the team to retreat to the rear city and did not follow Nalant to Gaopo.

Otherwise, after going through a series of sieges of cities and territories, the allied forces of gods will be overwhelmed.

They wouldn't be too surprised by today's results.

After the Allied Forces of Gods stationed in Pica City were captured, all the water in Pica City was drained out in just two days.

Although there was mud and ruins in the city, with so many prisoners there, it only took two days to clear them all.

After capturing Xia Pica City, Nalant did not rush to the Flame Holy City immediately, but asked Shirley to pay close attention to the battle situation in the Flame Holy City.

He understood that although those acropolis were so easy to breach, the Holy City of Flame was definitely not something that could be captured in a short period of time.

Because the Flame Holy City not only has high walls and many soldiers, but is also the last spiritual symbol of the Flame Continent.

No matter how unpopular the Flame High Priest is, for the sake of the God of Flame, the soldiers and commanders of the Flame Continent will fight to the death.

And this is also true. After Nalant took back Pica City, a group of Kingdom of God legions began to attack the Holy City of Flame from their respective positions.

When the two sides started fighting, there was the most intense offensive and defensive battle in the Flame Continent in recent months.

None of the legions of gods dared to stay, for fear that the Holy City of Flame would be taken away by several other legions of gods.

As for the Flame Holy City, the first soldiers sent out were the soldiers who had withdrawn from the previous Acropolis.

It is worth mentioning that these soldiers are now assigned to the commanders of the Holy City Guards.

In Nalant's view, the Flame High Priest was simply stupid.

At such a critical moment, the most important thing is to unite the strength of the entire army.

If these soldiers were allowed to be led by their original commanders to fight, they would undoubtedly have higher combat effectiveness.

After all, these commanders not only have prestige for the soldiers, but also know them very well.

But the Holy City Guards have no idea about the daily habits, strengths and weaknesses of these guards.

In order to preserve the strength of their men, some captains even placed these soldiers on the city walls as cannon fodder.

And those soldiers from the Acropolis were not stupid, so it was easy to see how they were treated differently.

Suddenly, these Acropolis soldiers also secretly became dissatisfied with the Holy City guards.

"Lord Commander, I just heard a lot of soldiers come secretly to complain, saying that the captains of the city guard are very shameless."

"In order to take care of their city guard subordinates, they often let our soldiers from the city guard take the lead to withstand the rain of arrows under the city wall."

"Only when the soldiers of the Legion of Gods have climbed onto the wall and the rain of arrows below stops shooting, will the city guards join the battle!"

"Even our soldiers on the Acropolis will be on duty in the dark every day after fighting during the day."

"Those city guard soldiers have never been on duty."

"The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction, but the city guards ridiculed us and said that we were the defeated ones, so we need to do more to atone for our sins to the God of Fire!"

The leader of Nuk City was sitting by the campfire eating toast, and a captain secretly reported to him.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the leader of Nuuk City showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

But thinking that there were still menacing enemies outside the city, he immediately reassured them: "Our current battle is not for the city guards nor for the high priest."

"We are here for the God of Fire and the Flame Continent, so just be patient!"

"If we can really drive away those intruders outside the city, then it will be worth it even if we are a little more tired!"

"But, Lord Commander, this is really unfair."

"We have made so many achievements in the Acropolis before, but in the end, let alone rewards, we didn't even get praise!"

"Now the city guards are even using the excuse that we lost the acropolis to ridicule us."

"If you can't defend the Acropolis, can you blame us?"

"These armies of gods unite together, and the number of each attack reaches more than two million."

"We have tried our best to hold on for a day and a night!"

Although his captain is also loyal to the God of Fire, he obviously does not have as high a view of the overall situation as the leader of Nuuk City.

At the moment, I still can't suppress the resentment in my heart.

After hearing this, the leader of Nuk City sighed and patted his subordinate on the shoulder.

The most aggrieved person is actually his commander.

The dignified commander of a city originally had hundreds of thousands of subordinates, but now he has become a captain with ten thousand people.

And they are also doing the hardest and most tiring work.

But so what? Do you not obey the arrangements of the high priest?

Although there must be subordinates who will support him.

But he didn't want his enemies to take advantage of him.

I don't want the entire Flame Holy City to be in danger because of him.

In this case, he could only swallow his anger.

In fact, he was not the only one who swallowed his anger, the same was true for the other commanders who retreated from the Acropolis.

Their treatment will never be much better than mine.

In addition, he heard from the commander of West Asia City that they also confirmed one thing.

That is, their Flame High Priest actually sent spies to provide these gods with information about the location of Nalant's army.

Although in the end it was unknown whether it was due to intelligence errors or other reasons, the coalition of gods did not catch up with Nalant.

But through the identities of several city guard soldiers who were killed by the coalition of gods, they were able to be 100% sure of this matter.

And this also allowed the leaders to see clearly the high-mindedness of their former high priests, who seemed to be kind and generous.

Although Nalant was also an intruder, he helped them block several attacks from the legions of gods.

And it also gave them a rare victory in several months.

Even though Narant may have some purpose, this does not prevent the fact that Narant has helped them.

Under this fact, because the other party is also an intruder, they can't even make any substantive thanks to Nalant.

But he couldn't frame Nalant together with the more ferocious intruders.

Thus, it can be seen from this that the High Priest is not as holy as he appears.

It can even be said that the high priest is somewhat shameless and despicable.

"well……"

Finally, the leader of Nuuk City sighed.

And he didn't know that as the war continued, the situation of the commanders and soldiers who had retreated from the Acropolis would become increasingly difficult.

Time flies and half a month later.

The fighting outside the Flame Holy City has never stopped in the past half month.

Of course, a group of divine legions will not use their own legion elites to consume.

But they can continuously form armies from the home continent and those captives to carry out wars of attrition.

In this way, the land above and below the Flame Holy City has been infected with blood, showing a bright red color.

Although they still have not been able to break through the Flame Holy City, there is actually an undercurrent surging in the Flame Holy City.

The reason is that the Holy City of Flame's supplies are extremely depleted due to the war.

Originally, in order to cope with the siege, the Holy City of Flame had stored enough food and supplies for a year in the city.

But in the past half month, fires have continued to occur in the city.

And every time a fire breaks out, a large amount of the Flame Holy City's supplies can be destroyed.

This is due to the infiltration of the Kingdom of God’s legions into the Flame Continent.

There are a lot of secret spies in the Flame Holy City, and the Flame High Priest is an incompetent commander.

The inability to effectively solve these spies' problems resulted in the Flame Holy City's supplies being reduced by two-thirds in less than half a month.

As a result, supplies that were originally enough for one year are now only enough for three or four months.

Of course, the original three or four months was not a short time, but now it has only been more than half a month.

But the Flame High Priest has a very sense of crisis.

After learning the news, a strict food rationing system was immediately issued.

The first people to have their rations cut the most are the civilians in the Holy City.

The daily rations of civilians were reduced from three meals a day to one meal, and the original food with a small amount of meat and white bread was reduced to a piece of black bread.

Next were the soldiers and commanders who retreated from the Acropolis.

They originally had three adequate meals of white bread and meat every day, as well as dried fruits and other foods to replenish their physical strength.

But now it has become two meals a day of black bread and a small amount of meat, and there is no other food.

As for the city guards, their three meals a day are still white bread, and their meat diet has not been reduced. Only dried fruits have been changed to one portion every three days.

Of course, this is definitely a very obvious difference between the soldiers who retreated from the Acropolis.

Why are you all fighting against the enemy? Your city guards seem to have cut down on food.

In fact, I just cut down on some snacks.

Soon, the soldiers' dissatisfaction spread among the crowd.

You must know that although the civilians are also dissatisfied, they have no ability to resist and can only accept it silently.

But the soldiers who retreated from the Acropolis were different. They were more cohesive than the civilians.

Therefore, under such dissatisfaction, several Acropolis commanders also quickly tried to express their dissatisfaction to the Flame High Priest.

Ask the Flame High Priest to improve the food of their guards, so that the soldiers can at least be fed and have enough physical strength to fight.

The reason why several commanders stood up was because they couldn't bear to let their subordinates suffer.

It’s even more so for the temperature of the Flame Holy City.

Because they knew that if the soldiers continued to accumulate resentment.

I'm afraid something bad will definitely happen after that.

What they didn't expect was that their request was quickly rejected by the Flame High Priest.

The High Priest of Fire did not even receive them.

They just sent a herald and said arrogantly that those of them who retreated from the Acropolis were already guilty.

Now the high priest did not punish them, but allowed them to perform meritorious deeds, which was a great mercy.

In this case, the most important thing they should do is to sacrifice their lives to fight for the Holy City.

As for food, etc., now that the situation in the Holy City is so severe, everyone is complying with the restrictions.

Don't think about eating and drinking for pleasure.

After receiving the news, the faces of several commanders turned livid and their fists clenched loudly.

It was only by suppressing and suppressing that they finally suppressed the anger in their hearts.

While their own anger was suppressed, it was not that easy to appease their subordinates.

In the end, the commanders could only use lies to appease their soldiers.

The High Priest of Flame said he would consider it and asked them to wait for a few days to delay the matter.

Of course, they also know that this may drag on for a while, but it cannot drag on forever.

But what can they do?

I can only pray sadly to the God of Fire.

Feeling sad for the impending destruction of the Flame Holy City.

…

"This Flame High Priest is truly a talent. I guess the gods will reward him after they know what he has done!"

Naturally, Nalant knew everything about what happened in the Flame Holy City.

He really didn't expect that the Flame High Priest would be so mentally retarded.

However, reality is often more magical than fiction.

Throughout all of human history, whether in previous lives or in this life, there are not many such foolish and brainless people.

In this way, what the Flame High Priest did was seeking death.

The worst thing is that the soldiers and civilians of the Flame Holy City will probably be buried with him in the end.
