Chapter 1259 Priest Rem Was Killed

"Faster, faster!"

But when they saw the soldiers reporting towards the front gate, the wealthy households became extremely anxious.

Because although the gate is open at this time, it will take a lot of time for the flood to completely recede.

In this way, before Commander Nakandel arrives, it will definitely not be possible to drain away the flood.

Priest Rem also noticed the worries and anxiety of the rich families.

He sighed and said: "Everyone, now that the city gate has been opened, you can escape first. I will watch over here."

Rem knew that with Kandel's temperament, if he waited for him to come, these rich people and their guards would never be able to escape.

After all, just the crime of attacking the soldiers defending the city would allow Kandel to kill them very reasonably.

"Priest Rem, how can we leave you and run away alone."

Although the rich families were moved when they heard this, they still hesitated considering the Rem sacrifice.

"I am the priest of Machile City. Kandel does not dare to do anything to me, but you are different."

"So now that Kandel is not here and you have a raft, follow the current out of the city immediately and escape from here!"

Rem, however, immediately comforted everyone.

"Priest Rem, you are truly a kind priest!"

A group of wealthy people no longer hesitated and felt that Kandel would not harm Priest Rem.

As a result, all the soldiers who were under control were tied up, and then they escaped from Machile City with their guards and their families.

Not long after these rich families escaped, Kandel finally received the news.

"What? How dare Kandel and those untouchables attack the soldiers guarding the city?"

Candel was furious.

Then he said loudly: "You guys come with me, and you must let those untouchables know the consequences of offending me today!"

Immediately, Kandel led hundreds of soldiers directly to the sky and headed towards the back of Machile City.

In less than five minutes, Kandel led his subordinates to the back of the city.

At this time, there was no such wealthy figure on the city wall. Only Rem Priest stood on the city wall and waited for him quietly.

"Priest Rem, what are you doing? Do you want to join the enemy?"

As soon as Kandel landed, he grabbed Rem's collar and asked.

Priest Rem said: "Commander Kandel, the door has been open for so long, but the enemy has not made any movement."

"So, I am not betraying the God of Fire, but I am trying to save the followers of the God of Fire."

"On the contrary, Kandel, why did you do everything possible to prevent the city gate from being opened to release the flood and allow the believers to evacuate safely."

"Is there something unknown in your mind?"

Priest Rem's subsequent question actually didn't mean much.

It was just that he wanted to force Kandel to acquiesce in releasing the flood and then let the civilians evacuate.

It’s just that Priest Rem never thought that Kandel did have something in his heart.

Facing his question, Kandel seemed to sense a huge threat.

Immediately, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Priest Rem, I told you that those leaflets just now were all a trick of the enemy. Don't you know?"

"How can there be any good people among these invaders, especially the God of Fire who died on their continent of Io?"

"It's not necessarily true that they are even more bloodthirsty and cruel than those legions of gods."

"You actually made excuses to join the enemy because of your greed for life and fear of death."

"Today, I, Kandel, am here to clear you up as a traitor to the God of Fire!"

Saying that, Kandel directly pulled out the sword from his waist.

"Kander, how dare you..."

puff!

Priest Rem never imagined that Kandel would actually dare to kill it.

You must know that priests of his level had to report to the God of Fire if they wanted to be executed in the past.

Even if the God of Fire dies now, it will still be decided by the priests of the Trial House in the Holy City and the high priest.

Now Kandel did not hesitate to kill him. In the past, he would have definitely been investigated.

However, now that the Flame God Continent is besieged on all sides, and Kandel has already surrendered to the enemy, he is naturally not afraid of any pursuit.

On the other hand, the soldiers and captains who were guarding the city were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Commander... Your Majesty, Commander..."

They are loyal to Kandel, but they are equally loyal to the God of Fire.

If it were just to keep Priest Rem under guard, they would indeed have no hesitation.

Because after all, you can see it and be responsible.

But if Kandel asked them to kill Priest Rem, they would never do it.

But now Kandel actually killed Priest Rem in front of them.

This is a bit offensive to the God of Fire.

Because existences like Rem Priest are like apostles of gods.

Although he is not an envoy of God, he is definitely in a higher position than soldiers and commanders like them.

"Close the city gate immediately to guard against enemy raids."

"In addition, Priest Rem betrayed the God of Fire and wanted to join the Io continent invaders. He deserves to die!"

Kandel did not explain much at all, but suppressed with the absolute authority of his command.

"Yes, Lord Commander!"

The soldiers and captains could only suppress their thoughts at the moment and closed the door again according to Kandel's instructions.

After Kandel finished all this, he asked people to store the body of Rem's sacrifice in a tower not far away, in order to avoid being known to too many people in the city and causing unnecessary trouble.

If he hadn't been worried that throwing Rem's corpse outside the city might cause opposition from a group of soldiers and captains, he would have simply thrown Rem's corpse into the flood outside the city.

After finishing everything, Kandel quickly rushed back to the main entrance of the city wall.

What Kandel didn't know was that even if he deliberately concealed it, he already had absolute authority in the city.

But when he killed Priest Rem in front of so many soldiers and captains, how could he keep this matter a secret.

Soon the matter, only a little later, began to ferment.

The first ones to start were some of the closest wealthy households who did not participate in opening the city gate.

Because they saw that the city gate had been opened from a distance before.

Later, I suddenly saw that the city gate was closed again, so I curiously asked the soldiers guarding the city secretly.

These wealthy families are closely related to the soldiers, and some of these soldiers or captains are even their relatives.

In this way, the news of Priest Rem's death naturally cannot be concealed.

After these wealthy households found out, they felt that there was no hope of escape, and they became increasingly dissatisfied with Kandel.

As a result, they secretly asked people to spread the news that Rem was killed by Kandel.

Faced with the news of Kandel's death, these wealthy households were relatively calm.

Because they have a family business and have never been poor in the past, they only have respect for Rem and have no other special emotions.

But ordinary civilians are different.

The kindness of Rem Priests in the past was deeply rooted in their hearts.

Many civilians even went to the temple to pray for treatment because they had no money for medical treatment.

For them, Rem Sacrifice is a life-saving grace.

As a result, civilians throughout the city began to feel angry about the death of Rem Priest.

Gradually, this anger spread more and more widely, and many civilians even shouted slogans to avenge Rem's sacrifice.

After all, Kandel not only killed Rem Priest, but also hindered their chance to escape.

Coincidentally, as the rain stopped and the city gates were opened, flood discharge accelerated for more than half an hour.

At this time, the water level in the city had receded to less than one meter.

In such a position, there is no threat to adults.

So the civilians gathered together one by one and headed towards the city gate under the instigation of some thoughtful people.

"Lord Commander, what's wrong, the civilians in the city are gathering towards us!"

Kandel originally stayed in the tower to rest, but ran out immediately after hearing the report from his subordinates.

When he saw at least tens of thousands of civilians gathering towards the bottom of the city wall, he suddenly became furious.

"You untouchables, if you want to do anything, go back to your respective homes immediately, otherwise I will treat you as a traitor and kill everyone without mercy!"

After hearing Kandel's fierce words, all the civilians suddenly stopped.

However, there are thoughtful people among the civilians.

Seeing this scene, he immediately lowered his head and shouted: "Commander Kandel, why did you kill Priest Rem?"

"Priest Rem opened the city gate so that we could escape from Machile City."

"But not only did you not allow us to escape, you also killed Priest Rem. You wanted us all to drown together!"

"Yes, Commander Kandel, not only did you kill Priest Rem, but you also wanted all of us to be drowned. We want an explanation from you!"

"Yes, we want an explanation, we want to leave Machile City!"

With a few caring people taking the lead, the crowd suddenly became commotion again.

x thought about the murder of Rem Priest, and then thought that if he and others did not escape today, they would only be drowned by then, and the civilians' fear immediately disappeared.

Anyway, they are all going to die, so they must fight for that glimmer of life.

And those few caring people were naturally arranged by wealthy households.

They also didn't want to be drowned. They were smart enough to understand that this was their only chance to leave Machile City.

"Damn it, who dares to talk nonsense here!"

Candel was immediately furious.

Unfortunately, those who were interested before had their heads lowered and blended into the crowd, so he couldn't tell the difference at all.

But now that the tens of thousands of people below are already in a state of excitement, it becomes even more difficult to find out.

Moreover, with the roar of the civilians, there was a steady stream of civilians in Machile City gathering towards this side.

"Shut up, shut up everyone!"

Candel was immediately furious, running his fighting spirit and shouting at the civilians below.

But now that the civilians' emotions have reached their peak, and they feel safe in numbers, Kandel's scolding is of no use at all.

There were even some excited civilians who desperately tried to squeeze towards the city gate. It was unclear whether they wanted to break through the blockade and open the city gate, or because there were too many people behind them and they were being squeezed forward.

Clang!

Kandel naturally did not want to see any mistakes in the city gate.

As a result, he directly pulled out the sword from his waist.

The Dou Qi circulated and blasted directly downwards.

Boom!

"Ahhh!"

With an explosion, the sword light led by Kandel exploded directly in the crowd below.

Suddenly there were many exclamations and screams from below the city wall.

"Drive these untouchables away for me. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"

Kandel felt that this was not enough, and immediately issued another order to his subordinates.

"This...is, Lord Commander!" The soldiers who heard this hesitated for a moment, but when they saw Kandel's murderous eyes, they were immediately frightened and did not dare to say anything.

Immediately, the soldiers began to disperse and beat the civilians.

Because of the large crowd, civilians naturally couldn't escape so quickly.

Immediately many people were beaten to the point of falling on their backs.

Under such circumstances, there are naturally some civilians who do not want to sit back and wait to be beaten in vain, so they want to raise their hands to snatch the soldiers' long swords to prevent themselves from being beaten.

And with such a move, greater conflicts naturally arise.

puff!

Because of the fierce confrontation between the two sides, a soldier finally subconsciously took out a long sword and slashed at the opponent.

"Ah, Commander Kandel has given the order to kill people. Let's fight with them!"

"Commander Kandel killed people, let's fight them!"

However, the sight of blood here not only did not scare the civilians, but also made many civilians start to fight desperately.

Suddenly, what was originally just a dispersal gradually turned into a fight between soldiers and civilians.

Although the final result was that civilians left hundreds of corpses and fled, it also meant that Machile City was no longer monolithic.

…

"Sir, there was a fight between the soldiers defending the city and the civilians in Machile City. They killed each other and injured hundreds of civilians."

What happened in the city was naturally known to Nalant immediately.

"What?"

Before Nalant said anything, the commanders and priests on the side all showed expressions of disbelief upon hearing this.

"In addition, those civilians are still shouting slogans that Rem Priest was killed. Now the city of Machile is completely in chaos!"

The griffon knight under Nalant continued to report.

"Well, keep exploring!"

Nalant seemed to have anticipated all this, and immediately waved his hand to scare away the Eagle Beast Knight.

After the Hawk Beast Knight left, Nalant spoke to the leaders and priests.

"You seem surprised? Actually, don't be surprised. This is human nature!"

"I asked my subordinates to go to the city to announce that I would give the civilians of Machle City one day so that they could evacuate safely."

"I will never attack during this period."

"But Kandel stopped this, so he will definitely become the public enemy of all civilians in the city."

"It's just that I didn't expect that things would break out so quickly, and that Rem Priest was killed by Kandel."

"I thought the civil strife in Machile City would be tonight, because there must be many people in the city who are unwilling to be drowned."

"But now things have been advanced. It seems that we will be able to enter the city of Marchley at the latest tomorrow morning!"

"this……"

All the leaders and priests looked at Nalant with their mouths open.

They finally knew why Narant refused Arnold's request to assassinate Kandel.

It turned out that he had a better way to capture the city of March.

If chaos really breaks out in Machile City tonight, leading to conflicts between the city's defenders and civilians, then the city's defeat is indeed not far away. (End of chapter)
