Chapter 1331 The War Is Coming

"Lord God, what should we do now? Those envoys from the inner realm seem to be following us!"

The leader of the war legion asked with some concern.

The God of War thought for a moment and shook his head. "They can follow them if they like. The God of Fairness will never take action, and the same goes for other divine envoys."

Immediately, the God of War ordered the legions to continue advancing, and they must intercept Nalant's army as quickly as possible to avoid any accidents.

After about half a day, Nalant's army stopped.

"Sir, the War Legion has appeared in front of us and has blocked the only way out. The War Legion has a strength of 1.8 million."

It turned out that it was Shirley's Swift Eagle that had already detected the war legion on the way.

I have to say that these divine legions really put a lot of thought into this time.

They have already considered the roads near Bekel City, which has blocked all Nalant's retreat routes.

After hearing this, the faces of all the guards' commanders couldn't help but change.

It's not that they are afraid of the death they are about to face, but that after their army fails, no one will be able to compete with these gods' legions.

Then the dawn that their Flame Continent finally saw will be extinguished.

At this time, the leader of Nuk City suddenly spoke, "Lord Nalant, you have the Swift Eagle Squadron. Why don't you take the Swift Eagle Squadron and evacuate to the Holy City immediately? Leave this place to us!"

"For the Flame Continent, even if we sacrifice ourselves, it will be glorious, and we can go to meet the God of Flame!"

"However, our Flame Continent cannot lack Lord Nalant. As long as Lord Nalant is here, we will still have hope of regaining the continent in the future!"

"Yes, the leader of Nuk City is right. Lord Nalant, please evacuate first, and we, the Flame Legion, will try to see if we can break out the Lightning Legion and escort them away!"

"As long as you are here, we in the Flame Continent will still have hope!"

Hearing this, several other Acropolis commanders obviously agreed with the words of the Nuk City commander.

But in the face of their persuasion, Nalant smiled slightly and said, "You guys underestimate me, Nalant. I, Nalant, am not someone who runs away from battle."

"Besides, the war hasn't started yet, and it's not like we really have no chance, so please stop saying these depressing words!"

After saying that, Nalant looked at Shirley and said, "Shirley, I asked you a few days ago to pay attention to the surrounding areas that can be defended. Do you have a suitable location?"

Shirley nodded immediately after hearing this, "Sir, there are a total of two suitable defensive terrains near us."

"One of them is surrounded by water on three sides, so the enemy cannot attack us from all sides at the same time."

"In addition, there is a hilly terrain. The hilly area is very large and can fully accommodate our station. It is also surrounded by cliffs with a height of fifty or sixty meters. In this way, the enemy can only directly attack in one area. Come to us!”

"But sir, the cliffs on this hill are so steep that although the enemy cannot attack us, it will be extremely difficult for the army to retreat when the time comes!"

After following Nalant for so long, Shirley had a rough understanding of the impact of topography on war.

In their current situation, the best way is to choose terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that the enemy's strength advantage cannot be used for defense.

However, since these legions of gods have chosen the vicinity of Bekel City as the battlefield to encircle and annihilate Nalant, in addition to ensuring that Nalant will not escape easily, it is also because there is no ideal defense area nearby.

In this way, after searching for so long, Shirley finally picked out two terrains with slight advantages.

The first terrain is surrounded by water on three sides and protected by rivers, which can prevent the enemy from attacking them as much as possible.

After all, even if the Divine Legion chooses to send people to attack in the area surrounded by water, it will definitely not be as easy as attacking on flat ground, and it will be much easier for Nalant to defend.

The second hilly terrain is a better location for defense. Steep mountain walls can block enemy attacks better than rivers, even better than city walls.

Of course, the hilly terrain is good, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, once the defense fails, they will have nowhere to run even if they want to.

After all, if you are backed by a river, if you really can't hold on, you can still rely on swimming or making a simple raft to escape.

But there is a risk for the Sky Knight to jump off the cliff that is hundreds of meters high, and not all of the Flame Legion is a Sky Knight.

Even then, the enemy only needs to wait and see below, and each one of them will become a living target in the air, making them easier to kill.

Nalant thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's go to the mound!"

"Even if the river still has a chance to escape, how many people can actually escape when faced with the siege of the gods' army?"

"It's better to put ourselves to death and survive, let everyone have the courage to die, and let these gods' legions take a good look. If they want to take us down, they must have good teeth, otherwise they will look for their broken faces. ah!"

"That's right, let these legions of gods take a look. Our flame legion is not that easy to deal with. We will break out all of their teeth!"

"We all listen to Lord Narant!"

All the Acropolis commanders admired Nalant for his refusal to evacuate.

Now that I heard Nalant's words of determination to die, I was even more excited.

At that moment, everyone was clenching their fists and blushing, eager to fight to the death with the legions of gods immediately.

"Then let's go!"

Nalant nodded with a smile, and then began to turn around with his army.

And as Nalant left the avenue and headed towards the side path, it didn't take long for the Divine Legion to discover the problem.

At this time, the Storm Legion, Ice Legion and Wave Legion happened to converge at one place.

"That kid has deviated from the main road and headed towards the path on the right."

"It seems that this kid has discovered the traces of the War Legion."

"That should be the case, but this kid can't run away. There is also a dead end on the right side. If you want to escape, you still need to meet the War Legion. Their ultimate goal may be here."

"There are several hills here, and apart from that there are only a few small towns, not even a city!"

Several gods took a simple map and looked at it.

This map was drawn some time ago, and it marked several rivers, villages, hills and other patterns.

Although it is said to be a map, it is not much different from graffiti, but it can still be used to determine the next destination of Nalant and others.

"Haha, this damn kid can't run away this time. We will send a message to the War Legion now and ask them to go to the front of the trail and block the kid."

"good!"

All the gods had rare smiles on their faces at this time.

Because Nalant really had trouble flying this time.

Soon, the War Legion also received the message, entered the trail and began to surround Nalant.

Naturally, Nalant did not think about breaking out from the War Legion because there was simply not enough time.

Once they are dragged by the War Legion for a few hours, waiting for the other legions of gods in the rear to catch up, then the enemy will swarm forward, and the Flame Legion will not be able to stop them no matter what.

In this way, their destination is the previously selected hill.

On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at the hill.

Although this hill does not have a barrier that only one person can pass, it does have a steep slope with a drop of more than 100 meters. Moreover, because there are steep cliffs in the rear and on the left and right sides, it can also limit the enemy's attack route.

After the army arrived, Narant immediately ordered the army to start urgently deploying defense lines.

A large trench was dug on the side of the hillside, and trees were cut down to build walls and barbs to prevent the enemy's cavalry from charging.

After a busy night, the simple fortifications were almost completed.

Nalant then asked the Goblin team to bury all the remaining magic energy of Glory's Wrath on the hillside. This was the final preparation.

At this time, a group of divine legions finally arrived belatedly under the triangle.

When these legions of gods looked at the fortifications Nalant had built on the hill, instead of being worried, they were even happier.

Because only at this point can it be proved that Narant is really at the end of his rope.

Otherwise, with Nalant's cunning, he would not choose to challenge their divine army in such a place with no escape route if there was any possibility of escape.

To be on the safe side, the Divine Legion did not launch an attack immediately.

Also began to lay out fortifications at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, the fortifications they had put in place were intended for Narante's escape.

In this way, in addition to the front, there are also a large number of sentries on the left, right and rear of Nalant and the others. The Legion of Gods has also deployed a large number of sentries and assigned many long archers.

At that time, even if there are sky knights who want to escape with their flying ability, they will end up being shot into hedgehogs.

When the Divine Legion made arrangements, the War Legion finally arrived.

It's just that the inner domain envoys following behind the gods' army surprised the Gods of the Wind and Waves.

"So, the God of Fairness has not discovered that there is a dark demon in Io continent?"

"That's right, with the reputation of the God of Fairness, it is absolutely impossible to protect the Io continent, so they should really not have discovered it!"

The God of War nodded.

The other three gods immediately frowned.

Although they have not seen it with their own eyes, they are almost 99% sure that there must be something weird in Io continent.

After all, the death of the God of Fire and the army of dark creatures cannot appear out of thin air.

"Everyone, let's put the Io continent on hold for now. The most important thing now is to deal with Nalant on the mountain first."

"After all, Io Continent relies on that kid. As long as that kid is dealt with, Io Continent should not be able to cause too much trouble."

The God of War continued to remind him.

"Yes, the most important thing now is to deal with that damn boy on the mountain first. By the way, these envoys from the inner void will not interfere, right?"

The God of Waves nodded immediately. Their Wave Legion suffered the most from Nalant.

"Absolutely not. If these envoys from the inner void dare to intervene, we will go directly to their gods. Those gods are not stupid, and they will definitely not offend four of our gods at the same time for a mere boy!"

"Okay, then let's start the attack!"

Immediately, the Divine Legion no longer delayed and began to mobilize the first wave of attacking troops.

In this first wave of attacking troops, each of the divine legions dispatched 150,000 people, which together amounted to an army of 600,000.

It's not that the Divine Legion is unwilling to send more, the main reason is that the area of ​​the hill in front is limited and Nalant has arranged it in advance.

Such a simultaneous attack of 600,000 troops is already the limit at this time.

And after the 600,000-strong army has clearly laid out the defenses in front, they will be able to dispatch more manpower later.

Seeing the army beginning to assemble below, the Flame Legion on the hill also began intense defense, sending 500,000 men to the fortifications deployed everywhere.

"The combined forces of the gods have nearly seven million troops in total. That Nalant only has less than two million troops. The number is four to one. Do these gods' armies look too high on Nalant! "

"Yeah, four against one, and it's the Army of Gods, and Narant's army doesn't seem to be as strong as the Army of Gods!"

"Didn't the War Legion say it before? That Nalant is more cunning. Of course, using strategies in battle is a skill, and this also shows that Nalant must have some special skills. This is why a group of gods and gods allied forces at the same time Unite against him."

"It seems reasonable. Maybe it's not that these gods overestimated Nalant, but that we underestimated Nalant!"

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it. Four legions of gods besieging a legion led by a mortal. It's hard to see even in our inner realm of the void!"

When Nalant and a group of gods were about to start a battle, the envoys from the inner domain not far away started talking.

The main reason is that the strength gap between Nalant and the Divine Army in front is really too big.

The number alone reached four to one, and in terms of specific strength, these divine envoys could tell at a glance that Nalant's Flame Legion was obviously not as elite as the God Legion.

"Lord Narante, look over there!"

At this time, Nalant also noticed the inner domain envoys.

The commanders of the Acropolis did not know the existence of the Inner Territory Envoy. When they saw a group of existences with such a huge aura, their faces turned pale with fear.

Nalant paused for a moment and then immediately guessed the identities of these people.

"Don't worry, those gods and envoys are not reinforcements from the Wave Legion. They are envoys from the gods in the void, and they are neutral existences!"

Nalant didn't want to scare his men to the point of weakness before the war started, so he immediately explained.

"A mission from the inner realm? We know this. Is it a mission from the inner realm that is here to investigate the Dark Demon God?"

Upon hearing Nalant's words, the commander of the Acropolis immediately reacted.

"Oh, you also know this?"

"Lord Nalant, our Lord God of Fire also sent envoys to the inner realm back then, saying that there seemed to be a dark demon in the Io continent."

"The Dark Demon is a very terrifying existence, so we heard a lot of news at that time!"
