Chapter 1242 Occupying the Flame Continent?

And if they stay in the Io continent, they may obviously be wiped out by the Io continent coalition forces.

Speaking of which, the legionnaires on the Flame God Continent are actually completely abandoned.

What awaits them will be the judgment of their enemies.

"Let's go and take a look first!"

Nalant had not yet figured out how to deal with this group of legionnaires from the Flame Continent.

After all, these soldiers are devout believers of the God of Fire, and they are not weak in strength.

If it is not solved well, it will still be very troublesome.

The solution once and for all is to kill them all here.

But to be honest, although Nalant is very ruthless towards his enemies.

But he is not the one to kill when it is not necessary.

Now that the God of Fire has fallen, it can be said that the legionnaires of the Flame Continent no longer pose any threat to him.

So in such a situation, if you can avoid killing, you should try your best not to kill.

Of course, this also depends on how these legionnaires from the Flame Continent choose.

"Okay, Baron Narante!"

The high priests nodded immediately after hearing this, and then followed Narant towards the Flame Continent Legion in the distance.

Soon, Nalant and several high priests came to the front of the Flame Continent Legion.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Flame Legion immediately stopped the soldiers behind him.

When the soldiers saw Nalant, in addition to being wary, there was deep fear in their eyes.

They don't know yet that it was Narante who killed the God of Fire.

But before Nalant killed five divine envoys in a row, they saw it very clearly.

"My lord, I would like to ask a question. Can you answer me?"

What surprised Nalant was that the leader of the Flame Legion took the initiative to speak to Nalant.

"Tell me, what's your question? If you're in a good mood, I might be able to answer you!"

Nalant nodded and spoke to the leader of the Flame Legion.

"I would like to ask this sir, is the fall of the Lord of Fire, the Lord of Fire Continent...is it true?"

The leader of the Flame Legion slowly asked Nalant.

And there was both a little expectation and a little anxiety in those eyes.

Although they knew that even if the God of Fire was still alive, there was a high probability that their legion would not be able to escape from this continent.

After all, even the other four gods and continental coalition forces ran away directly, and the God of Fire would definitely not be able to come to rescue them even if he was alive.

However, what the leader of the Flame Legion cares about most now is not his own life or death, but the future of the Flame Continent.

If the God of Fire is still alive, then even if today's battle is defeated and their entire army is wiped out, the God of Fire Continent will still be stable.

But if the God of Fire really falls, let alone them, even the Flame Continent may face annihilation.

Thinking of their family, the Fire Lord hoped very much that the gods had deceived him.

Unfortunately, the facts could not be changed. Nalant did not speak, but directly took out the armor and sword of the God of Fire from the storage space again.

Seeing the armor and sword of the God of Fire, the leader of the Flame Legion understood everything instantly.

The body couldn't help but sway.

"Lord God..."

He shed silent tears.

It took him a while to recover from his depression.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, the leader of the Flame Legion saluted Nalant.

"Thank you for telling me the truth. In addition, I would like to ask how you are going to deal with us!"

At this time, Nalant finally answered: "It depends on how you choose."

Nalant's intention was very obvious, it was to see if the other party wanted to die or to live.

After hearing this, the leader of the Flame Legion turned his head and glanced at the Legion soldiers behind him.

Then he turned around again, saluted Nalant again and said, "My lord, I am willing to let the soldiers of the Flame Legion lay down their weapons and surrender. I just hope that you will not kill them."

"In addition, I will choose to commit suicide and follow the God of Fire, so that you can accept the surrender with confidence, and they will definitely not cause trouble to you in the future!"

"Oh?" Nalant was a little surprised. He didn't reveal his intention to kill him.

But he begged for mercy for his soldiers, but he still wanted to die.

This actually made Nalant take a look at the commander of the Flame Legion.

At the very least, this commander has some integrity.

The willingness of these Flame Legion soldiers to surrender made Nalant suddenly have more ideas.

That is, the God of Fire's continent is also leaderless now. Can I take the opportunity to conquer that continent?

After all, even if he didn't go to conquer it, the other four god continents would definitely attack the God of Fire Continent immediately.

Rather than finally killing the God of Fire and letting others pick the peaches, it is better to swallow them all yourself, which will not benefit the enemy at all.

Of course, the reason why Nalant didn't want to do it before was because Nalant couldn't bring his army to the Fire God Continent.

Although he can go there himself, and there should be no threat to him on the God of Fire Continent.

But the problem is, no matter how powerful he is, he is still just one person.

With such a vast continent, he simply cannot realize his intention of occupying it.

But if these legionnaires from the Flame God's Continent are willing to surrender to him, then Nalant can find another way.

These invaders originally left several mobile continents on the continent of Io.

But it seems that only these invader legions can activate the mobile continent.

These high priests of the Kingdom of God have gone to explore it many times, but in the end they were unable to activate it.

Therefore, as long as he persuades the soldiers of the Flame Legion to surrender, Nalant may be able to accomplish this matter.

In fact, Nalant himself could use the Death Continent to go there.

However, the rich death aura of the Death Continent will probably be discovered by the natives of the Flame Continent and the surrounding God Continent as soon as it gets close.

Wouldn't it immediately prove that there is a problem with their Io continent?

Therefore, the Death Continent cannot be blatantly exposed under such circumstances.

Nalant looked at the leader of the Flame Legion.

"I accept your surrender, and I promise to treat those who are willing to surrender well."

"But there's one more thing, that is, you can't die for the time being, because I need you to do something for me."

"I can't die? What do you want me to do for you, sir?"

The leader of the Flame Legion was a little confused.

"Actually, it's very simple. I just want you to help me operate the mobile continent that your Flame Legion used to invade our continent of Io."

Narant doesn’t mince words.

"Operation Mobile Continent?"

The leader of the Flame Legion was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

His expression suddenly became excited.

"Do you want to invade our Flame Continent?"

"Impossible, it's impossible for me to help outsiders invade our Flame Continent!"

Obviously, the resistance of the Flame Legion Continent is very strong.

"Really? If you don't agree, then I can only say sorry, I cannot accept your surrender!"

A sneer immediately appeared on Nalant's lips.

He will certainly not be merciful to disobedient enemies.

When the leader of the Flame Legion heard this, his body suddenly froze, showing an expression of pain.

Obviously, the lives of more than 500,000 subordinates behind him are also something he cares about very much.

When Narant saw this, he already had a way to deal with it.

His expression softened and he continued: "Actually, have you ever thought about it, even if I don't go to your Flame Continent?"

"But now that the God of Fire has fallen, your Flame Continent can no longer stand on it."

"The gods around you must be eyeing you in the Flame Continent."

Narant spoke kind words.

The face of the leader of the Flame Legion changed again and again, but he always remained silent.

Obviously, although Nalant was telling the truth, he was not willing to become an helper for outsiders to invade the Flame Continent.

Nalant continued without any hurry: "Also, imagine what the consequences will be if other gods capture your Flame Continent?"

"First of all, the temple and statue of the God of Fire will definitely be destroyed."

"Then they enslave and brainwash all the followers of the God of Fire, forcing them to change their beliefs again."

"And among you believers in the Flame Continent, there must be many people who are unwilling to change their followers."

"Then what we will face will definitely be a bloody purge and massacre."

"By then, the Flame Continent will be filled with blood. Am I right?"

After listening to Nalant's words, the leader of the Flame Legion had a painful expression.

Because although Nalant was just imagining it, the commander knew that it was the fact.

And it will only be more cruel than what Nalant said.

For example, if someone changes his or her faith recently, the whole family will be implicated.

Not only to ensure that there will be no unrest, but also to coerce and intimidate others.

In addition, a large amount of wealth in the Flame Continent will be detailed.

The believers on the Flame Continent can only become slaves with nothing within a few decades.

Only after decades of oppression have ensured that there are no more resisters and the faith has been completely changed.

Only then would the invaders loosen their control slightly over the believers in the Flame Continent.

Nalant chuckled and continued: "But, actually, this can be changed."

"Then let me occupy your Flame Continent."

"Because I am different from other gods in the continent. Although I also need the power of faith, I will not be forced to change my faith."

"We will not destroy the temple and statue of the God of Fire."

"I can even make you believe in the God of Fire all the time. You just need to believe in one more god in addition to the God of Fire."

"What?" After hearing Nalant's words, the originally dull leader of the Flame Legion looked at Nalant in disbelief.

Apparently what Narant said shocked him.

“There is no doubt that everything I say is true, and I, Nalant, will do what I say!”

Nalant knew that the leader of the Flame Legion was tempted.

And he didn't deceive the leader of the Flame Legion.

He is indeed prepared to do this if he takes over the Flame Continent.

The reason is simple, compared to bloodbaths and forced changes of faith.

It is definitely more cost-effective to slowly fuse the believers of the Flame Continent by boiling frogs in warm water.

Because there is bloodbath and coercion, it must mean there is resistance.

And it would still be a fierce resistance, if a massive amount of manpower and resources were not invested.

That would probably take decades of hard work in the Flame Continent.

But Narant's approach was different.

Anyway, the God of Fire has fallen now. Even if there are believers, if they want to revive, it will be at least tens of thousands of years later.

In this way, using Nalant's method, he added his faith to the Flame Continent.

And he usually uses small favors to attract believers.

I believe that it won't be long before these natives of the Flame Continent, who don't have much hostility, will soon become believers of the Bone Dragon Knight.

And when they become devout believers of the Bone Dragon Knight, it means that Nalant will completely establish a foothold in the Flame Continent.

Subsequent operations will be even simpler.

That is to continue to benefit the Flame Continent in the name of the Bone Dragon Knight.

Over time, the faith of the Bone Dragon Knight will become the authority of the Flame Continent that is not inferior to the God of Flame.

As for the God of Fire, because he has fallen, he can still be worshiped by believers across the continent in a short period of time.

But as time goes by, such beliefs will be forgotten from generation to generation.

After all, the Bone Dragon Knight faith can completely replace him.

Without deliberate guidance, time is the best tool for forgetting.

And the leader of the Flame Legion obviously didn't know this.

After hearing Nalant's assurance, he was immediately moved, and some hope gradually rose in his eyes.

Being pious, he must still care about the God of Fire very much.

Therefore, Nalant's promise not to change the faith of the God of Fire was absolutely fatal to him.

After all, he was even willing to commit suicide and follow the God of Fire.

"Sir, is what you just said true?"

After hesitating again and again, the leader of the Flame Legion finally couldn't help but confirm again towards Nalant.

"Didn't I say that I, Nalant, must mean what I say?"

"And if you don't believe it, even though you are just a defeated general who surrendered, in order to save the innocent lives of the God of Fire, I don't mind swearing to the gods here to reassure you.

With that said, Nalant swore: "I, Nalant, tell the God of Glory that I did not tell you a single lie just now."

"If the Flame Continent is captured, the belief in the God of Fire is allowed to be retained, and the temple and statue of the God of Fire will not be destroyed."

"And among the believers, as long as there are no resisters, I will not be bloodbathed and enslaved."

"But use normal laws of the Kingdom of God to maintain the order of the Flame Continent."

"How about it, can you believe it now?"

After the oath was completed, Nalant looked at the leader of the Flame Legion.

The eyes of the leader of the Flame Legion instantly filled with excitement.

Again, in this world, people's respect for gods is extremely high.

The leader of the Flame Legion knew that Nalant believed in the God of Glory.

Therefore, I feel that this belief is absolutely reliable and Narant will definitely not violate it.

Fortunately, Nalant is indeed prepared to implement it truthfully, so the leader of the Flame Legion will not be disappointed.

"I, Arnold, am here to thank you for your kindness on behalf of all the believers in the Flame Continent."

"I, Arnold, am willing to surrender to you, sir!"

Finally, the leader of the Flame Legion knelt on the ground with a thud.

He excitedly expressed his surrender to Narante.
