At this time, many stone houses in the city close to the city wall had been demolished, and all the stones were carried up the city wall.
When the coolies and escorts working in the city saw the arrival of Nalant and others, their faces that were originally full of sorrow finally regained some light of hope.
After arriving at the Temple of Fire, the high priests of the Kingdom of God did not rest, but entered the conference room without stopping.
"This time the invaders should have dispatched 400,000 troops per legion, with a total strength of two million."
"In addition, I heard from the escort soldiers who returned from the border that there are hundreds of dragon knights in these invaders."
"In addition to the Dragon Knight, it is now confirmed that the envoys of the five invader legions have also arrived!"
"So, this time the enemy is out in force, planning to annihilate all the forces of our Kingdom of God Alliance at once?"
After entering the conference room, Dagmar introduced more detailed information about the enemy to everyone.
After hearing this, the high priests frowned even deeper.
"It seems that is indeed the case. Therefore, this battle is directly related to the survival of our kingdom of gods."
"High Priests, we must go all out this time, there is no way out!"
Dagmar nodded, "I have sent messengers and mobilized almost all the guards of our Kingdom of Talented Goddess. The total number is nearly 400,000. I believe they will arrive in the next two days!"
"So are we. Except for a few kingdoms that need to continue to guard against the invaders' lairs, the rest of the kingdoms have also mobilized all their escort teams. These teams will arrive later."
"We calculated the day before yesterday that the strength of our Kingdom of God's coalition forces can be at least twice that of these invaders."
At this time, several other high priests also expressed their opinions.
Four million troops may sound like a lot, but there is a big gap in strength between them and the enemy.
Because almost all the elite guards from the Kingdom of God have arrived in the holy city.
There is nothing left except some remaining troops that need to defend the enemy's lair.
After the troops were counted, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
Obviously, the advantage in numbers cannot make up for the gap in strength, which makes everyone still remain pessimistic about the battle in the next few days.
"Everyone!"
At this time, Nalant finally spoke.
"Although we now only have an elite guard force of less than two million, have you forgotten that there are other races in Io continent?"
"I believe that other alien races will arrive soon, so there is no need to worry too much about the strength of the troops."
"Although the enemy is powerful, we and them have come from afar after all."
"After their two million troops are defeated, there will basically be no replenishment."
"So, as long as we rely on the Holy City to defend them and then consume their vitality, then it is not impossible to win despite the ebb and flow of one another."
"In addition, the high priests represent the strongest leaders of your respective kingdoms. If you don't have confidence, then what will happen to the guards under your command after they see this?"
Although Nalant also knew that the chance of winning this battle for the Kingdom of God coalition was really low.
But even if the odds of winning are slim, it's impossible to just surrender.
In this way, regardless of whether we can win or not, what we need most now is enough confidence.
If even the high priests have a negative attitude, then the state of the Kingdom of God's Guards may become even worse.
When Nalant said this, all the high priests of the Kingdom of God suddenly blushed.
Indeed, what they, the high priests, need most at such a critical moment is composure.
But because of the strength of the enemy, they have also developed a fear of the enemy these days. This is definitely a state that they, the high priests, should not be in.
"Baron Nalant is right. Although the enemy is powerful, we are not fighting alone. I believe that foreign teams will come in the next few days, and our strength will be strengthened again."
"Yes, no matter what, we have no retreat this time, so we must win this battle and cannot fail!"
After reflecting on this, the high priests of the Kingdom of God immediately changed their attitudes.
In the past, when facing the assassination of the Sun God Kingdom, although everyone was in a desperate situation, their will was not crushed, and they did not have too much fear.
In this way, it was hard for them to say that they were timid before fighting this time.
"Okay, high priests, since you are so confident, let's start arranging defense matters!"
Narant laughed upon seeing this.
Of course, that's not to say he thinks the odds have improved now.
On the contrary, he felt that even if these high priests of the Kingdom of God changed their mentality, it would not be of any help to the situation this time.
Because there is one thing he did not point out, that is, ordinary invader soldiers, they can indeed rely on the arrival of aliens to relieve their pressure.
But what about the five divine envoys?
A god made him Nalant still able to contend.
But as long as there is one more, Naranti feels that he can't stand it, let alone five.
Therefore, how to fight against these five divine envoys is the key to winning this war.
It's a pity that Narant can't think of any countermeasures.
Because, apart from him, there should be no one else on the continent of Io who can fight against the divine envoy alone.
Even if it is the Elf King and others, it will take several people to resist even slightly.
"Oh, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. I can't think about that much now!"
In the end, Narant shook his head and didn't think about it again.
Thinking about things that cannot be solved even if you scratch your head will only increase your worries.
…
In the next few days, all the high priests of the Kingdom of God were busy setting up fortifications.
Not only did the moat be dug deeper and wider, but many deep trenches were dug outside the city to restrict the enemy's movement.
After digging the deep trench, a group of high priests from the Kingdom of God felt that it was not enough, so they inserted many pointed wooden stakes diagonally into the ground.
It can also defend against the enemy's army and its siege engines.
In addition, within the holy city, the high priests built a wall more than ten meters high behind the city wall.
Although the thickness of the wall is only half a meter, it can temporarily prevent the enemy's attack in an emergency.
This is to prevent the enemy from being able to advance straight in after the city wall is blown down.
It can also be regarded as a summary of the experience gained by these high priests.
