Nalant nodded and continued to speak to Arnold, telling his next plan in advance.
And Arnold also knew that since the army of Io continent launched an attack.
If the defenders of the Flame Continent really resisted, casualties would be inevitable.
He nodded to express his understanding.
"Lord Narant, I will try my best!"
Arnold also hoped that the defenders of the Flame Continent could surrender, otherwise he would be helpless if both sides really took action.
Next, Nalant led the army to march for a day, and finally arrived at the first city blocking the road ahead at dusk.
This city is called Nankaro City, and it is not small in size, with at least four to five million people living there.
And because it is located on the border, in order to prevent the invasion of other gods from the continent, there are more than 300,000 permanent troops stationed in the city.
The arrival of Nalant and others was quickly discovered by the defenders in the city.
Being stubborn, Nalant did not launch an attack immediately, but prepared to start the attack again early tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Nalant gathered a large army and marched to the city.
Looking at the densely packed defenders on the city wall, Nalant looked at Arnold beside him.
Arnold expressed his understanding and immediately rode his horse towards the city wall in front.
When they got closer to the city wall, which was more than two hundred meters away, Arnold shouted towards the top of the wall.
"Guards in the city, listen, I am Arnold, the commander of the Flame Legion."
"I came here this time in the hope that you would lay down your weapons and accept surrender."
"The army behind me is Lord Nalant from the continent of Io. He has promised that as long as the defenders surrender, he will not harm anyone in the city."
"Even after that, Lord Nalant promised to keep the temple and statue of our great God of Fire and preserve our faith!"
Arnold didn't hesitate, for fear that the city's defense commander would be confused, so he immediately explained the benefits of surrendering to Nalant.
"What, you are Commander Arnold?"
When the defenders in the city heard that it was the commander of the Flame Legion, they were immediately shocked.
Especially the priests and leaders guarding the city, when they saw Arnold's appearance clearly, anger rose on their faces.
"Arnold, you traitor, not only have you betrayed the faith of the God of Fire, but you have also brought your enemies to attack our Flame Continent."
"Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the God of Fire?"
Obviously, everyone was very puzzled by Arnold's behavior.
"This priest and leader, I, Arnold, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"It's not like you betrayed the God of Fire."
"Only by choosing to cooperate with Lord Nalant can we, the God of Fire, find a chance to recover."
"After the death of our great God of Fire, do you think that other continents will not covet our Flame Continent?"
"Think about it, compared to the conditions promised by Baron Nalant, if the Flame Continent is occupied by several other god continents, what will be the consequences?"
Although Arnold was scolded as a traitor by the commanders and priests on the city wall, he felt extremely uncomfortable and sad.
But he didn't want to see the defenders in the city suffer casualties, so he still earnestly persuaded everyone in the city to surrender.
However, the defenders in the city were obviously determined to defend to the ground.
After all, they had an army of 300,000 and strong defense, so they didn't pay attention to people like Nalant.
"Arnold, get out of here, go back and tell those people in Io continent that there is no way our South Carolina city can surrender."
"If he dares to attack, then our army in South Carolina will let him know what the wrath of the God of Fire is."
After speaking, the commander and priests in the city ordered several soldiers to shoot arrows outside the city, directly forcing Arnold back.
Arnold finally had no choice but to return to his position in pain.
Nalant already knew the result of Arnold's persuasion to surrender, so he didn't wait for him to tell him, and said to Arnold: "Arnold, you have done your best, go to the rear and wait."
Arnold nodded and went to the back of the camp in despair.
Nalant said to his subordinates: "Let's start, start attacking the city according to the previous arrangement!"
"Yes, Lord Narante!"
Woohoo!
Immediately, the sound of horns came from the Nalant camp.
One after another, magic armored vehicles approached the Nankaro City Wall, followed by large catapults.
"Target city wall in front, first test shot, catapult launch!"
"The city wall in front of the target, the first test shot, the magic cannon is launched!"
Whoosh whoosh!
A total of fifty catapults and three hundred magic armored vehicles were launched for the first time under the command.
Along with the roaring sound that broke through the air.
Hundreds of cannonballs hit the city wall hard.
However, the accuracy of this first round of shooting was still somewhat lacking.
Therefore, only less than half of the cannonballs hit the city wall, and even fewer hit the top of the city wall.
When the defenders on the city wall saw this, they burst into laughter.
"Haha, these people from the continent of Io are so ridiculous. Do they just want to use such weapons to attack the city?"
"Yeah, look at those armies, it seems that even the Golden Knight realm has a limited number."
"Yes, if they dare to attack the city, then we will kill them to pieces!"
Both the ordinary soldiers guarding the city and the priests and commanders of Nancaro City breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
However, they didn't know that this first round of attacks was just the beginning.
Next, Narant will let them know what fire coverage is.
"Adjust the angle, target the enemy city wall, and launch the catapult!"
"Adjust the angle, target the enemy's city wall, and fire the magic cannon!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
This time, whether it is a catapult or a magic energy cannon.
The accuracy instantly improved several times.
Hundreds of cannonballs, nearly ninety percent of them, hit the city wall.
Most of them were bombarded near the top of the city wall.
Immediately, exclamations and wailings came from the Nankaro city wall.
"Quickly, rescue the wounded and stay hidden!"
Seeing this, the garrison commander and the priest did not dare to be too careless.
Immediately issued hidden orders to his subordinates.
Then, the catapults and magic energy cannons outside the city began to fall on the city wall like raindrops.
Although the soldiers on the city wall deliberately concealed themselves.
But casualties are still inevitable.
The only good thing is that the enemy's ground troops have not started attacking yet.
"Damn it, don't these guys get their magic crystals for free? Why are they bombarding them all the time like this?"
Even in a continent with gods like the God of Fire, mana crystals are considered a scarce resource.
In this way, feeling the constant bombardment outside the city, the city guard commander felt a little distressed.
To be continued...
