Chapter 1266: All the Way Forward, All the Way Home

And this is also true. After completing the trial meeting, Shirley will report to Nalant the reputation of the civilians in the city from time to time.

What the common people say most now is that Lord Narant is really kind.

Fortunately, Lord Nalant led a large army to occupy our city of Machile. Otherwise, if Macile City was occupied by those from the Kingdom of God, we might not be so lucky.

I hope Lord Nalant can always manage our city of Machile in the future, and at the same time drive back all the legions of the Kingdom of God, so that Lord Narant can protect our Flame Continent.

And these most straightforward conversations from the hearts of civilians also represent that although there are tens of millions of people in Machle City.

But Nalant will probably be more convenient to manage than those previous cities.

…

Compared to Narant, he was supported by the common people.

A few days later, the news spread that Machile City had been occupied by the Io continent army.

Faster, the God of Waves also received the message.

The look on his face was so ugly.

Commander Kandel, who originally bribed Machile City, was the most important piece for him to occupy the Flame Continent and drive away other legions of gods.

Not only can we cooperate internally and externally to capture the Holy City of Fire at the minimum cost and as quickly as possible.

At that time, relying on the defense of the Holy City, we can gradually eliminate the other three divine legions.

Unexpectedly, Nalant and these ants from the Io continent actually came out.

Even if he escaped, it actually directly led to the capture of Machile City. The chess pieces he used to execute the second half were also directly lost in Machile City.

"Damn ants, without the arrival of the Dark Demon, do you think you have the confidence to fight against our army of gods?"

The God of Waves roared angrily.

It's a pity that no matter how angry he is, he can't take out his hand to deal with Nalant now.

Because now several legions of gods are competing for speed.

Whoever can capture more cities and occupy more land now will be able to take greater initiative in the subsequent struggle for hegemony.

Therefore, he could only temporarily shelve the idea of ​​​​going to the south immediately to extinguish Nalant directly.

"Jeffrey, does the envoy to the central void have any information?"

"Lord God, there is no news yet, but if we count the days, we will return in the next few days!" The priest named Jeffrey immediately replied.

"If news comes from over there, tell me immediately."

"Although I haven't sensed the arrival of the Dark Demon God, it is safest to have people from the central void arrive just in case." The God of Waves commanded.

"Yes, Lord Kami!"

…

After capturing Machleh, Narante rested in Machleh for five days.

In addition to letting the soldiers have a good rest for a few days, they also made arrangements for the aftermath of the flooding in Machile City.

It was also to spread the news about Marchile City.

This will allow Nalant to better persuade other cities to surrender.

After all, the deeds of Machile City not only highlight the strength of Nalant's army, but also promote Nalant's kindness.

Five days later, when the construction of the Bone Dragon Knight's temple began, Nalant led his team on the journey again.

This time, he also left only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Machile City.

However, because there are too many people in Machle City, it is difficult to maintain order if the number of troops is too small.

So Narant asked two captains, Naple and Goode, to select 5,000 people each to help maintain order.

Nagood and Piper were almost killed by Kandel that night.

When Kandel was captured, both men were dying.

Later, it was Narant who asked Anne to take action, and they were rescued.

After the two woke up, they learned that Kandel had betrayed the God of Fire and was bribed by the God of Waves. The two of them immediately cursed Kandel.

I am also glad that I made a clear choice and opened the city gate to let Nalant's army enter the city.

Otherwise, if the city gate is not opened, not only will the turmoil in the city become more and more serious, but more civilians will die.

By then, heavy rain will continue to fall on Nalant and others outside the city, and the civilians in the city will really have no way to survive.

After all, since Kandel has been bribed by the God of Waves, he will definitely not care about the death of civilians in the city.

And when they learned that Nalant actually chose to let the two of them assist the stationed Io continental army in maintaining order in Machle City, the two of them happily agreed.

Because after Nalant and the Io continental army entered the city, not only did they not do any harm to the civilians in the city, they even helped the civilians in the city from time to time.

At least the thousands of seriously injured people who were injured by Kandel's suppression were saved by Narant's people.

But this was enough to make the two of them willing to obey Nalant's orders rather than see Machile City captured by other gods.

“Lord Narant’s army has arrived, that’s Lord Narant’s army!”

After the two of them traveled, Nalant and others arrived at the next city.

But there were still more than two miles away from the city, and dense crowds of people appeared on the road ahead.

Nalant didn't panic, because he had already learned about the situation here from Shirley.

And this dense crowd was the civilians who came spontaneously from the city ahead, as well as the city's commanders and priests.

Naturally, they heard about what happened in Machle City, so they very wisely chose to surrender to Nalant.

Moreover, in order to better let Nalant feel their sincerity, the commanders, priests and civilians all came outside the city to welcome him.

"I have met Lord Narante!"

When Nalant took the lead and led the team to the front, the crowd in front immediately fell to their knees with cheers.

Obviously, there were also people from Machile City in the crowd, and they all knew Narant.

"Well, everyone, please get up!"

Nalant spoke to everyone warmly.

"Lord Xenarant!"

Following Nalant's instructions, the crowd stood up.

Then the commanders and priests of the city in front walked up the first few steps: "Lord Nalant, since we learned about your kindness, we have been deeply moved by your kindness and greatness."

"So, we are here to send you our sincerest greetings, and we, the city of Binoka, are willing to surrender to you."

"Well, very good. I believe you will be happy with today's decision. I, Narant, promise that I will not touch Binoka City!" Narant was very satisfied with the words of the priest and leader.

"Lord Xenarant!" After hearing Nalant's promise, neither the priest nor the leader could restrain their excitement.

After a pause, the commander and the priest continued: "Lord Nalant, you must be tired from the journey. Please go to the palace in the city to rest."

"We have arranged the banquet and are waiting for your participation, Lord Nalant!"

In this way, Nalant led his army directly into the city of Binoka at the invitation of the two commanders and the priest.

In Binoka City, more civilians lined the streets to welcome him.

As if waiting for the arrival of the King Master.

"Sir, why are the people in these cities becoming more and more enthusiastic towards us now?"

"Although you must be very kind, sir, we are intruders after all!"

In the city, when she saw the civilians on both sides of the street cheering, Shirley lowered her voice and asked. ,

I have to say that only Shirley, a little Lolita, dared to ask such a question.

After all, there is a very serious ambiguity in this.

And Nalant will definitely not care about these weird problems of the little loli.

He immediately replied: "This is because of the comparison!"

"Comparison? What comparison?" Shirley was a little confused.

"This comparison is with those legions of gods."

"Shirley, have you heard about the cruelty of those legions of gods?

"It is because they are so cruel that our kindness is highlighted."

"And these civilians in the Flame Continent know that if they fall into the legions of gods, you can imagine what kind of suffering they will suffer!"

"So, since there is no possibility of resistance, they naturally choose the best possible ending to avoid suffering!"

Narant explained the little loli in detail.

"So that's it, sir, Shirley understands!" Little Shirley nodded, finally understanding what was going on.

After entering the city, Narante attended the banquet held in his honor by the city of Binoka.

The day after the banquet was completed, he led his soldiers to the next city without stopping.

And it was also because of the incident in Machle City that Nalant gained seven brand new cities in the next half month without losing a single soldier.

Although these cities are not as large as Machile City, they can be as small as one or two million.

The largest city has five to six million people.

By this time, the cities occupied by Nalant were actually basically on par with other gods.

This is probably something that the legions of gods did not expect.

In the past, they were accustomed to using thunderous means to force the enemy to surrender.

However, no one could have imagined that Nalant, the first unconventional being to appear, could capture so many cities by relying on kindness.

After Nalant continued to capture these cities, he rested for another week.

This time it was not really to give the troops a rest. After all, apart from the hard work of traveling, the soldiers actually ate and drank well along the way.

But because Nalant occupied too many cities, his soldiers had been dispatched to nearly 200,000 people.

When he set out, he only brought 500,000 yuan with him. After dividing the amount by more than 200,000 yuan, he was left with more than 300,000 yuan.

Although more than 300,000 soldiers are not too few, he still needs to add more for the sake of caution.

Therefore, Nalant has sent people back to the Mobile Continent in the rear to send teams to replace the soldiers on duty.

Let those soldiers come back to the front to assemble.

He needs to continue to maintain the team of 500,000 people before he can advance.

A week later, the 200,000 soldiers assigned some time ago gradually arrived at the front to join together.

After the rendezvous was completed, Nalant continued to advance rapidly.

Once again, three cities were captured without fighting.

Since then, Nalant is less than three hundred miles away from the Holy City of Flame Continent.

Once here, he stopped moving forward.

Because the three cities in front already belong to the satellite cities of the Holy City.

It is also called an outpost.

These outposts of the Holy City of Fire are directly under the command of the high priest of the Holy City.

The high priest of the God of Fire had no intention of surrendering.

Because there is a statue of the God of Fire in the holy city, the high priest is hostile and wary of any intruders.

Even Narant's fame has now spread to the holy city.

But the high priest sent an envoy to see Narant.

It shows the high priest's recognition of Narante's mercy.

Nor did he mind that Nalant captured those cities in the south.

However, I hope Nalant will not move forward anymore, because the high priest of the Flame Holy City will not be handed over to anyone.

He said that if Nalant was truly merciful and didn't want to see the civilians of the Flame Holy City suffer, then he would stop moving forward.

Even if it is not possible, Nalant can also capture other cities besides the Holy City.

When Nalant heard this, he agreed with a smile, saying that since the Flame High Priest said so.

Then Narante promises not to take a step forward.

Only then did the envoy sent by the Flame High Priest return in a hurry.

"Sir, why do you agree to them? The Holy City is very close now."

"We finally arrived earlier than other legions of gods. This is a perfect opportunity to capture the Holy City of Flame."

After the envoy left, both Quick and Vivian were a little confused about this.

Even Arnold and others hesitated to speak.

It's not that Arnold and others have betrayed the God of Fire.

But because they completely believed in Nalant's character.

Therefore, I feel that if the Holy City of Flame is left to Nalant to guard, it will be more likely to be defended.

Otherwise, when other legions of gods arrive, they will also choose to attack the Holy City.

At that time, if the Holy City is captured by other legions of gods, it will be a catastrophe for the civilians in the city.

More importantly, at that time, it was possible that the Temple of the God of Fire would truly be insecure.

Facing the questions from Quick and others, Nalant did not answer immediately.

Instead, he looked at Shirley and said, "Shirley, please tell me about the defense of the Flame Holy City."

"Yes, sir!"

When Shirley heard the words, she immediately began to speak.

"Sir, I asked Little Bee to sneak into the cities ahead and the Flame Holy City to investigate."

"I heard the conversations of the commanders of the outposts, and I also learned the strength of the Flame Holy City itself and the outposts from their mouths."

"There are now half a million people in each of these outposts."

"Among the 500,000 people, there are only 200,000 on guard duty on the city walls and 300,000 civilians."

"But in fact, this is all a disguise, because the real civilians in these outposts have actually been demobilized a long time ago."

"And those disguised as civilians are actually soldiers from the Flame Continent."

"When a war does occur, they only need to return to their respective residences, put on armor and weapons, and they will become elite soldiers."

"And these are just the soldiers at the outpost. As for the soldiers in the main city of the Flame Holy City, there are a full five million people."

"The Flame High Priest has issued orders to all defense commanders."

"Everyone must defend the city and cannot surrender or abandon the city. Otherwise, this will be betrayal of the God of Fire."

Shirley little Loli slowly told the story of the current investigation. (End of chapter)
