Chapter 1257 Nalant’s Kindness!

But when Rem said such words here, he became his biggest enemy.

"Priest Rem, please don't say such words again. This is the last time. If you say such words that shake the morale of the army again, then don't blame me for being rude!"

"Come here, take Priest Rem down!"

Kandel gave instructions directly to his men.

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and watched Priest Rem heading towards the city wall.

At this time, the city was flooded, and the Rem sacrifice came from the temple, relying on a temporary raft made of wooden planks.

After a while, Rem was escorted back to the temple.

But after returning to the temple, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he looked at the trembling civilians on the rooftops around him.

"Kander must be crazy."

"If this continues, what difference will it make whether the city of Machle is defended or not?"

Unfortunately, Rem does not have military power in this city.

In this way, he could only vent a few words, shake his head and return to the statue of the God of Fire to pray.

…

"Sir, the water in the city is at least two meters at this time, and most areas in the city have been submerged."

"Only a few buildings with particularly high bases, such as temples, have not been flooded."

Outside the city, Nalant also received reports from his subordinates from time to time.

Because the city of Machile did not have air combat capabilities, Nalant had complete control of the air.

"That guy Kandel is not willing to surrender. Is he really prepared to live and die with the city?"

"Yes, this guy must be crazy. We told him long ago that the city cannot be defended, but he didn't listen."

"If it's not too late to surrender now, Lord Narante probably won't suppress the civilians in the city."

After hearing the report, Nalant had not yet reacted, but the leaders and priests on the side were already dissatisfied with Nakander.

In the case of the Flame Continent, not only was it occupied by Nalant, it would also be occupied by those divine continents.

This is the general trend, but Kandel insists on going his own way, which may cause tens of millions of civilians in the city to be buried together. They really have no respect for Kandel.

"Haha, as the saying goes, if God destroys him, he will go crazy. If the Kandel you are talking about is not selfish, then there is a high probability that he is really crazy!"

Narant finally chuckled at this time.

After hearing this, all the leaders and priests looked over.

Arnold hesitated for a few times at this time, and finally knelt down with a thud.

Nalant wondered why this guy was so shameless, always kneeling down to beg for mercy.

However, what Narant expected was that Kandel did not beg for mercy this time, but instead asked Narant a question.

"Lord Narant, if Kandel really doesn't surrender, will you...will you keep raining until the rain floods the entire city of Machile?"

This question is actually not just what Arnold wants to ask.

Other commanders and priests also want to know.

So they all waited for Nalant's answer.

Nalant heard this and smiled slightly: "I said I couldn't do it, do you believe it?"

However, Nalant did not answer directly. Instead, he asked everyone in return.

Everyone pondered for a moment, but they still couldn't give an answer.

Arnold was the first to speak at this time: "Lord Nalant, if I were put in your position, I would not be able to make a choice."

"With the current attitude of Kandel in the city, if the city is not completely submerged and they are cut off from the supply of food and materials, then I am afraid that Kandel can really stay trapped."

"And if the Io army directly attacks Kandel City with such complete defenses and such towering walls, it will definitely suffer huge losses..."

"You are right. If you are merciful, this is indeed the result I will encounter!"

Regarding Arnold's analysis, Narant nodded with satisfaction.

However, after a pause, he changed the subject and said, "However, there are at least tens of millions of people in this city."

"Although I, Nalant, kill decisively, I am not a real executioner."

"I can tell you now that the massacre I told you before was just to scare you!"

Narant said frankly to everyone.

Originally, Nalant felt that even if he told the truth, these commanders and priests would not believe him.

But after he finished speaking, Arnold immediately nodded and said: "Lord Nalant, I, Arnold, believe this, so I did not continue to ask you to let the civilians in Machlie City go."

"Well, you believe it? You're not flattering me just to please me, are you?"

Narante asked in surprise.

Arnold's expression became solemn, and he said, "Baron Nalant, from the moment I was captured by you, Arnold, I have never been afraid that I will die."

"Because even if you don't kill me, I will understand myself when I can be sure that the civilians of the Fire God Continent can live in peace."

"Before, I really didn't know what kind of person you were, Lord Nalant."

"Speak of your kindness. Outside the canyon, you killed millions of gods' coalition forces just talking and laughing."

"But you may be cruel, but after you invaded the Flame Continent, starting from the time you broke into South Carlo City, you didn't kill even one innocent person after entering the city."

"In addition, you don't take any of the wealth donated by the wealthy households in the city."

"I want to say that even though I, Arnold, grew up in the Divine Continent, and the entire continent nominally belongs to the Divine Lord, I have never seen anyone as upright as you."

"From the moment I became aware of these circumstances, I gradually realized that Lord Naranter, your cruelty is probably disguised by you."

"Because a benevolent enemy can never scare the enemy."

"So, when you face us, although you often say you want to massacre the city, you are just talking every time."

"You actually saw through it!"

Nalant stopped pretending after hearing this.

He, Narant, really couldn't do anything like massacre the city.

After all, they are all living people, including children, mothers, fathers and grandparents.

These are all living things.

"Lord Narant, you really don't have to pretend anymore in the future, because your kindness makes us admire and happy more than your cruelty."

"Today I know that Sir Nalant must be very entangled, so I, Arnold, am willing to serve you. I will go to Machile City to assassinate Nakander later."

"If the assassination is successful, I believe that the priests and other soldiers and generals in the city will definitely surrender."

"But if I can't succeed, then Lord Narante, you can fight however you want. This is the fate of Machile City."

Arnold smiled at Narante.

There was a hint of sincerity in that smile, but also a hint of pain and confusion.

Originally, he was the God of Fire and the most pious and reliable leader of the Flame Continent.

But now he wants to take the initiative to assassinate the leader of a city and let the city be given to the enemy.

Although he was trying to save the civilians in the city, this must still have a lot of psychological burden.

He didn't know whether this was a betrayal of the God of Fire or an attempt to save the Flame Continent.

Nalant saw Arnold's expression, but shook his head and smiled: "Haha, Arnold, you really underestimate me."

"If we want to capture this city, there is no need for you to go out, and there is no need for the civilians in the city to be buried with Kandel."

"Tomorrow at the latest, I can capture this city without spending a single soldier. Do you believe it or not?"

Arnold obviously didn't believe it, but he really couldn't find anything to say to refute Nalant.

Mainly because of all the magic that Narant has done during this period, they have developed an obsessive trust in Narant.

Once Nalan makes a promise, they feel it will happen.

"Okay, get up and just wait quietly until tomorrow!"

Nalant stopped talking to Arnold and instead looked at Vivian aside.

"Vivian, start planning!"

"Yes, sir!"

After hearing this, Vivian immediately responded and headed towards the Eagle Beast team not far away.

Soon, Vivian arrived in front of the Hawkmon team.

"Meet Miss Vivian!"

"Well, have you received all the things that my lord ordered before?"

"Miss Vivian, they have been collected and installed on the hawk beast!"

"Very well, let's go!"

Immediately, under the leadership of Vivian, all the hawk beast knights got on their mounts and then soared into the sky.

When a group of hawk beast knights flew over Machle City, they dispersed everywhere.

Then one by one they took out stacks of parchment from a cloth bag beside them.

When the parchment was taken out, the knights scattered it all over the city.

Of course, in order to make these parchments fall into the hands of everyone in the city more accurately, the Hawk Knights chose to fly at ultra-low altitude this time.

After all, the streets have been completely submerged, and the people trapped on the rooftops of the city are basically civilians.

As pieces of parchment fell.

Many curious people came forward to pick it up and check it out.

I saw writing on the parchment, and the content was very concise.

"This time, our Io mainland army must conquer the city of Machile. Originally, our army could completely submerge the city of Macile with water, leaving no chickens or dogs left in the city."

"But after all, there are tens of millions of civilians in the city. When I heard that my subordinate Hawk Beast Knight reported your pitiful situation, I, Nalant, still softened my heart."

"I am willing to give up this great opportunity and decide to give the civilians in the city one day to evacuate safely."

"On this day, Machile City can open the city gates to release floods and allow civilians to escape!"

"And I, Narant, in the name of God, promise not to take the opportunity to attack Machile City, nor harm the civilians, and will stop the heavy rain to facilitate the movement of civilians."

"I hope the civilians in the city will seize the opportunity and not stop at this time."

"Nalant, the commander-in-chief of the Io Continental Army!"

"This... is this true or false?" Although the literacy rate among civilians at this time was not high, now that everyone gathers together, there are always some people who can read.

Especially in the inner cities, the literacy rate is even higher.

When these people read out the contents of the parchment, everyone was stunned and somewhat unbelievable about the contents on the parchment.

But just when everyone was in shock and confusion, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.

At this time, the Hawkmon knights who were still circling began to shout at a low altitude: "The one-day deadline starts from now on."

"Our Lord Narante has ordered that you all seize the opportunity to release the flood immediately and evacuate immediately!"

"In the name of God, we adults will never attack Machile City in one day!"

After saying that, the Eagle Beast team flew high into the sky and disappeared.

"Yes...it's true, the rain has stopped!"

"Yes, these invaders from Io Continent shouldn't lie to us. If they really want to capture the city quickly, they only need to rain for a day or two at most, and we will be drowned directly."

"Yes, we need to escape. Open the city gate immediately so that we have enough time to escape!"

"However, if the city gate is held by soldiers, we will not be allowed to open it."

"Let's go find the priest..."

Afterwards, the wealthy households in Dongcheng took the lead in taking action, rowing sampans made of wooden planks towards the temple.

In fact, these people did not need to come to Rem Sacrifice, Rem Sacrifice also knew the situation.

Because those eagle beasts also dropped parchment towards the temple. ,

"Master Priest, do you think this is true or false?"

There were many other attendants and priests in the temple. Upon seeing this, they immediately looked at Rem with hopeful eyes.

Rem frowned and thought for a moment, "Whether it's true or not, if you can give us a day, that would be very nice."

"At that time, we will open the side walls and send people to monitor the enemy's movements."

"If they try another trick, we will be able to respond immediately."

Priest Rem immediately said the best way.

"That's right, those invaders only occupied the front wall area. There were no troops placed on the sides and rear of the city. As long as we don't open the front wall, the danger will not exist."

The other waiters and priests heard this and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then, I will go find Commander Kandel now."

Upon seeing this, Priest Rem did not dare to delay, and immediately rode the wooden raft towards the city gate again.

Soon, Rem arrived at the city wall.

"Commander Kandel!"

At this time, Kandel also held a piece of parchment in his hand, which his subordinate had just taken from the hands of civilians.

He had naturally seen the movements of the Eagle Beast knights before.

"Rem, didn't I tell you to stay in the temple with peace of mind and not come here again?"

When Kandel heard this, his already gloomy face seemed to become even more ugly.

"Commander Kandel, I know you care about the safety of Machle City, but the tens of millions of civilians in the city really need help."

"Since the intruders outside the city are willing to let them leave, why not..."

"Shut up, Priest Rem. You are a priest after all. Do you believe the words of an enemy? This is obviously a trick!"

Before Priest Rem could finish his words, Kandel interrupted him angrily.

Rem was not prepared to give in this time, because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, tens of millions of civilians would really die without a burial place.

"Commander Kandel, although you are the commander, I am also the priest of Machile City. I have the right to ensure the safety of believers in the entire Machile City."

"So this time, Commander Kandel must open the city gate to release the flood, and then let the civilians evacuate."

"I think as long as we are more vigilant and only open the gate at the back of the city, even if the enemy makes any changes, we will be able to detect and prevent it immediately." (End of Chapter)
