Now that the other Kingdom of God escorts have evacuated, Nalant naturally has no need to continue to defend.
As such, he immediately issued an order to retreat.
However, these invading soldiers were naturally not allowed to retreat so easily.
When a group of Io mainland coalition forces and Nalant retreated, they followed and pursued them.
It's okay here in Nalant, because he is there to hold the battle in person.
The alien legion and the Storm Knights fought and retreated in an orderly manner, and the enemy could not take advantage of them at all.
But the Io continent coalition forces in other regions are different.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain falling. Once morale drops, it will be a disaster.
In this way, many soldiers were either killed on the spot or captured.
Narant couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the scene in the city.
This is the vast majority of the living forces in Io continent.
Originally, the city walls could still resist the invaders.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated by an inconspicuous alien race of hundreds of thousands.
Because these guys had selfish motives, their enemies found their weaknesses in an instant, and then triggered a great rout.
But even if you know the reason, what can you do?
Although these alien races were the first to retreat before, not many of them could escape now, and they were equally killed and captured.
When Nalant's team arrived at the gate of the temple city wall, half of the Io mainland coalition forces had not yet entered the temple city wall.
Because the invader army was pursuing very closely, and the route in the city was complicated.
Ordinary soldiers who have lost their command are like headless flies and can easily lose their way.
After waiting until they could see the invaders approaching the city wall, the high priests finally gave the order to close the city gates.
As the door slammed shut, the high priest and the escort soldiers who entered the temple were all silent.
Looking around, there were only about a million people left in the army that originally numbered millions.
Even less than the number of invaders.
"It's all your fault for this alien team. Why did you run away from the battle? If you can't resist, you can ask for support!"
At this moment, some leaders and priests of the Kingdom of God's Guards suddenly spoke and looked angrily at the only three to five thousand foreign soldiers left.
"There's nothing we can do. There are too many intruders and we can't stop them at all."
"In addition, we are fighting for you humans this time. Even if we lose, we have sacrificed so many people!"
When the foreigners heard the accusation, some were ashamed, some had no reaction, but some refused to fight back.
"Help our human race? This is a matter concerning the entire continent of Io, not just our human race."
"Besides, if I had known you were like this, I would have preferred you not to come here. Look at how many lives you have caused to our Io continental coalition soldiers."
The Divine Kingdom Guards immediately started questioning.
Suddenly, both sides turned red and showed signs of internal strife.
"Enough!" Fortunately, the high priests also knew that this was not the time to hold people responsible, and immediately stopped the soldiers of the Kingdom of God's Guards.
"Now that the enemy is still watching, it is not the time to hold anyone accountable."
"In addition, everyone, although we have lost the outer city wall, the wall of our Fire Temple is equally strong."
"Relying on this temple wall, we can also resist the enemy!"
"Besides, I had prepared for the worst before, so I moved some supplies into this temple."
"In this way, the supplies in this temple are enough for us to survive for more than a month, so we don't have to worry about food for the time being."
After waiting for the soldiers to calm down, the High Priest of Agni looked at the other high priests, including Nalant and others.
This can be regarded as a small way of cheering up.
However, everyone knows that without the outer city wall, relying on the limited space of this temple, it will only become more difficult to hold on.
What's more important is that the number of coalition forces on the Io continent has dropped sharply.
You couldn't even defend it with such strength before, how can you defend it now?
Woohoo!
Just when everyone was thinking this, a horn sound suddenly came from outside the wall.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing the sound, not daring to show any signs of neglect, and immediately climbed up the inner city wall.
When they came to the city wall and looked outside, everyone saw dense crowds of invader soldiers gathering towards the corners of the temple wall.
And a group of divine envoys are also among the invaders.
"Haha, the achievement was broken in one day. High priests, did you expect such a situation before?"
The faces of the gods were filled with smiles, and they immediately jeered when they saw the crowd.
"Hmph, you invaders, don't be complacent. Although you have captured the outer city, we still have the temple wall."
"If you want to invade again, then see if it's that easy!"
Several high priests of the Kingdom of God were dissatisfied and immediately struck back at the envoys.
"Really? You just had an army of three to four million people, and you also had such a towering city wall, but we have already broken it down."
"Do you think you can stop us with just the inner city walls?"
"Besides, I guess your number now is less than one million at most, right?"
"Haha, it's just a dream for a mere million troops to resist our god's army!"
"I advise you to surrender quickly. As long as you are willing to surrender to our divine continent, then we may still give you a chance to survive."
"Otherwise, once we break through the city wall, we will no longer accept your surrender!"
The divine envoy paid no attention to the counterattack of the high priest of the Kingdom of God.
In their view, the current Io continental coalition forces have become a trap in a jar.
"Surrender? Bah, our Fire Kingdom will not surrender even if we die!"
"That's right, we dwarves don't have the habit of surrendering. If you want to defeat us dwarves, then ask us if we can answer with the axes in our hands!"
"That's right, if you want us to surrender, then you have to try to see if your neck is so hard that it can be stronger than our sword!"
Upon hearing this, all the leaders and high priests immediately cursed loudly.
Everyone is the most devout believer in their respective gods.
Also know what it means to surrender to these invader legions.
In this way, no one among the high priests and leaders would choose to surrender.
After all, once they surrender, it means abandoning their faith and gods.
"If that's the case, then you just wait to die. If you fight against our two million legions of gods, you will regret it!"
Seeing that it was useless to persuade him to surrender, the envoys of the gods stopped talking.
Immediately, a group of divine envoys waved to the rear.
"kill!"
The invader army immediately moved into action and began to attack the temple wall.
Chapter completed!
