Chapter 1278 Great Victory

"kill!"

When the 20,000 people were evacuated, a wave of cries of killing erupted in the city.

You can see a Great Wall of Flame starting to shine in the center of Beitie City.

This flame spread from the left city wall to the right city wall, stretching for several miles. It was particularly spectacular when standing on the city wall.

And those were the soldiers and horses that had been ambushed by Bei Tiecheng before. At this time, they got the signal and these soldiers and horses began to counterattack, encircling and suppressing the soldiers of the Guangfeng Legion who fell into the city.

…

"what happened?"

The shouts of killing all day long in the city can be heard just as clearly outside the city.

Just like several other legions of gods who were tricked by Nalant.

Faced with the sudden closing of the city gate and the fierce counterattack by the defending soldiers, both the gods and the legion captains were confused.

Wasn’t it all good before planning?

Everything is developing according to normal steps. If we only need to wait for another half hour, I'm afraid today's victory will be decided.

"Lord God, it's not good!"

At this moment, the hurried messengers in front finally returned out of breath.

"Lord God, the enemy suddenly rushed out of 20,000 elite soldiers who had been waiting in ambush, and directly blocked the front wall."

"In addition, there seems to be a large number of enemy troops ambushed in the city. They have begun to counterattack at this time and have surrounded our legion warriors who entered the city before!"

The messenger immediately reported the situation in the city.

"What? Not only did they ambush elite soldiers and block the city gate, but they also organized a counterattack to surround our legion warriors?"

"This... this is impossible. We are attacking suddenly. How can the enemy organize a counterattack?"

After hearing the report from the soldiers, the God of Storms had not spoken yet, but the commanders and captains were the first to express their shock.

Because according to normal circumstances, the enemy should be caught off guard, and then be defeated by the Storm Legion without being able to organize an effective counterattack, and then there will be a one-sided massacre.

But in this situation, it seems like they have been plotted by the enemy.

"Let the army begin to attack the city immediately, and cooperate with the soldiers in the city to capture Beitie City!"

Although they were shocked, at this time the Storm Legion could only choose the most helpless way to make amends, just like Nuuk City and Gray Rock City did.

That is to immediately send a large army to attack the city frontally to relieve the pressure on the soldiers trapped in the city.

They even thought about the possibility of directly breaking through the city wall by relying on their numerical advantage.

Of course, it turns out that this option is useless.

Because since the city was prepared, how could it not have been expected.

Especially today, Nalant is personally in charge.

In this way, the God of Storms and others have not received any news about Nuk City and Gray Rock City, so they have nothing to draw lessons from.

They were destined to lose another group of legionnaires under the city wall.

"Commander Bei Tiecheng, people from outside the city are here."

"Let your men on the wall guard the city as you did before. Guard now. The 300,000 soldiers of the Storm Legion in the city are enough to deal with them!"

Nalant immediately saw the movements of the Storm Legion outside the city, and immediately spoke to the commander of Beitie City.

"good!"

At this time, the commander of Bei Tiecheng was already faintly excited.

Because, with the current situation, he has already seen that the balance of victory is really tilting towards them.

Especially at this time, the Storm Legion soldiers on the central street below the city were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Before, these soldiers of the Storm Legion set fire to block the stairs of the city wall, trying to prevent everyone on the wall from going down.

But now it was the turn of the Storm Legion soldiers whose retreat was blocked to start attacking from the stairs.

Of course, there were rolling logs waiting for them on the stairs.

There was no need to engage in close combat. When enough Storm Legion soldiers climbed up the stairs, several rolling logs were thrown down directly.

Coupled with the shooting of the long archers, these Storm Legion soldiers could only be buried at the entrance of the stairs in waves.

Soon, the Storm Legion outside the city also launched a charge and began to officially attack the city.

However, there are a hundred thousand soldiers on the front wall.

Coupled with the cover of the high wall, even if there were two or three times more enemies, there was no way they could really capture the city wall.

Time passed by, and the battle outside the city was still stalemate, but the battle inside the city had begun to end.

As nearly half an hour passed, the Storm Legion in the city began to retreat due to a sharp drop in morale. ,

But when there was no way to retreat, they could only crowd in various street corners and wait for the soldiers in the city to slowly encircle and annihilate them.

As for counterattack, that is absolutely impossible.

Without being familiar with the environment in the city, and without the number of soldiers in the city, it was pretty good that they could hold on for so long.

The defenders in the city climbed to the commanding heights early and continued to fire arrows at them.

When the first ray of red glow of dawn shines on Beitie City, the war is finally coming to an end.

The Storm Legion soldiers in the city have basically been wiped out. At this time, the defenders in the city have begun to search everywhere for fish that have slipped through the net.

As for the outside of the city, after several hours of continuous siege, they could only abandon the bodies of tens of thousands of people and withdraw their troops again.

"We won!"

"Yes, we won, hahaha!"

As everything inside and outside the city fell into silence, there were no more shouts of killing, and no one knew who started it.

After the announcement of our victory, more shouts came out.

Later, more soldiers and captains joined the cheering crowd, and the entire Beitie City burst into cheers.

"Your Excellency Nalant, thank you for helping us last night. Without you..."

At this time, the commander of Beitecheng thought of Nalant. He also wanted to thank Nalant for his help, so he turned towards Nalant and prepared to say words of gratitude.

But when he turned around, Nalant was nowhere to be seen, and his mid-thank words stopped abruptly.

"Nalant is gone?!" Commander Bei Tiecheng looked at his subordinates.

"Yes, Lord Commander, just when we won the victory, Nalant disappeared in the blink of an eye!" The subordinates were also confused.

Because they were more surprised than the commander of Beitecheng when they saw Nalant teleport with their own eyes.

"He was still there when we didn't win just now. But when we won, he left. Your Excellency Nalant is truly a being worthy of admiration."

For a moment, Commander Bei Tiecheng murmured.

The main reason is that today's performance is really too great.

Not only to avenge them for the previous killings outside the city, but also to avenge the evil deeds done by the Storm Legion in the past few months.

Fortunately, I didn't trust Nalant at first and had doubts about him.

Commander Beitecheng felt deeply guilty.

…

"I've met the High Priest!"

In the Flame Temple, every time there is a great victory, the city guard commander must be personally summoned by the Flame High Priest. This is already a routine.

And when the news from Beitecheng was delivered to the Holy City after dawn, the flame high priest immediately summoned the commander of Beitecheng.

"Well, get up, Commander Beitecheng, let me ask you, did you say in your report that all the credit for this victory lies with Nalant?" Did the Flame High Priest nod expressionlessly, looking towards Commander Beitecheng? Ask out loud.

"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, if it hadn't been for Nalant's arrival, we wouldn't have known the Storm Legion's plan..."

Immediately, the Beitecheng commander immediately told what happened, and he was different from the other commanders.

The other two commanders had only a moment of contact with Narant, and they did not understand Narant's character.

But the commander of Bei Tiecheng admired him quite a lot.

For example, when the enemy invaded the city, he couldn't wait to start the battle after the enemy had 100,000 people entering the city.

But Nalant remained calm, as if he was determined to win.

It was precisely because of Nalant's persistence that they achieved such results.

When the high priest above heard this, especially when he saw the fanatical expression of the leader of Beitecheng, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It seems that this Nalant is indeed of great help to you, but Commander Beitecheng, you have to remember!"

"After all, he is still the leader of the foreign invaders, and our God of Fire also fell on their continent of Io."

"Although we don't know how the God of Fire fell, we still need to maintain the necessary vigilance against him."

"So, you don't need to publicize this matter. If anyone asks you, just say it was the guidance of the God of Fire."

"By the way, if that Nalant appears again in the future, remember to notify the temple as soon as possible."

"This..." Commander Bei Tiecheng's expression froze.

He never imagined that Nalant's great help to his Beitecheng would be exchanged for such words from the high priest.

Looking at his extremely serious expression, there was not even a trace of gratitude to Nalant.

This made the commander of Beitecheng feel a little unbelievable, and he subconsciously said: "Your Majesty the High Priest, we should be wary of Nalant, but it is inappropriate to hide his achievements, right?"

"After all, I can confirm that without the help and information of Baron Nalant, we in Beitecheng would not have defeated the enemy tonight, and it is hard to say whether the enemy would have directly captured the city."

"Commander Bei Tiecheng, are you bargaining with me? Do you want to betray the God of Fire?"

"The things I'm talking about are guided by divine will and are completely in line with the will of the God of Fire. You can only show your piety by obeying."

When the Flame High Priest saw that Commander Beitecheng still dared to question, his face suddenly became slightly sullen.

But Commander Bei Tiecheng did not expect that coming to the temple would result in this effect.

His expression changed slightly, but thinking of the God of Fire whom he believed in, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, High Priest, I will remember it!"

But after he finished speaking, the high priest's expression finally softened, "Well, that's right. Commander Bei Tiecheng, your military exploits last night were outstanding. After driving all the enemies out of our Flame Continent, I will definitely give you It’s a big reward, you go back on duty first!”

"yes!"

After hearing this, Commander Bei Tiecheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he responded and then retreated.

After the Flame High Priest left Beitie City, his expression instantly turned gloomy.

"This damn intruder, does he want to secretly bribe my subordinates in this way?"

"No, I can't let him succeed. No matter what, only I, the high priest, can have the final say in this Flame Continent from now on!"

The Flame High Priest murmured.

…

A few days later, outside the city of West Asia.

"Lord God, we have almost dug the tunnel and can launch a raid into the city at any time!"

"In addition, the spies we placed in the city more than a month ago secretly spread the news yesterday, indicating that they are ready to cooperate with our army to attack at any time."

"Well, very good!"

In the Ice Legion camp, the Ice God listened to his subordinates' report and nodded with satisfaction.

True to form, coupled with the strategy of joining forces with the outside world, this is the two-pronged siege plan of their Ice Legion.

At that time, both plans will be carried out simultaneously.

Even if the defenders in the city really notice it, it will be too late by then.

If they defend the city gate, the legion warriors rushing out of the tunnel will be able to spread from the center of the city and eventually occupy the entire city.

And if they discover the low-key first, they will defend the tunnel first.

Then after the city gate is opened, what they will encounter is an even more violent blow from the Ice Legion.

The Ice Legion was immediately ready to set a time to start a formal attack.

But at this moment, another subordinate's announcement came from outside the door.

"Lord God, urgent information!"

"Huh? What urgent information?" The Ice God was a little surprised.

"Lord God, as usual, the scout captain will find a way to capture scouts from several other divine legions every half month to learn about their battle conditions."

"And just the day before yesterday, the scout captain received important news from a scout of the Divine Legion."

"After the scout captain verified the news, he didn't dare to neglect to report it to the Lord God!"

The subordinate explained respectfully.

"Bring it here!" The Ice God didn't waste any more time upon hearing this, and immediately asked his subordinates to bring the message over.

And when he opened the letter and read all the contents, the Ice God couldn't help but sigh.

Then he frowned and looked at the subordinate who delivered the letter, "You said that your scout captain has confirmed the things in this letter?"

"Yes, Lord God, the scout captain has verified the news about Gray Rock City and Nuk City."

"The captain personally led people to those two places to conduct on-site inspections. At the same time, he also captured several scouts from the Legion of Gods for maggot hunting."

"Now the commander is heading to Beitecheng for final verification, so he asked his subordinates to send the news first!"

The subordinate immediately spoke up after hearing this.

"Get out of here!" The God of Ice waved his hand and called back the messenger.

The commander who had reported earlier asked curiously: "Lord God, what's wrong?"

The Ice God did not speak, but handed over the note.

Upon seeing this, the commander immediately took it and then quickly checked it.

It doesn't matter if it's unbearable, but at first glance, even cold sweat breaks out on his forehead.

"This... this can't be fake, right? How could it be like this?" The commander was a little unbelievable.

"There shouldn't be any lies. The scout captain has personally verified it. With his experience, it is absolutely impossible for him to send this news to me without 100% confirmation!" The Ice God said solemnly.
