This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I won't leave, my face has been lost. If you want to leave, just leave. I want to live and die with the City of South Carolina!"
The commander of the city defense had some integrity and did not choose to leave.
After hearing this, the priest had no choice but to take the remaining soldiers and start to flee.
"Sir, the city has been captured by us, and the enemies have begun to flee!"
When the priests in the city began to flee with the soldiers, Nalant quickly received the news.
"Very good, let the army start chasing. Remember, as long as the enemy surrenders, you don't have to kill him!"
Nalant came here to occupy the entire Fire God Continent, so naturally he didn't want to cause too many crimes.
Otherwise, the hatred between the two parties is too deep, and it will be difficult to use gentle means to control it later.
"Yes, sir!"
All the subordinates who heard the words responded one after another.
Immediately, another 200,000 troops were divided among the remaining 400,000 troops and entered South Carlo City directly.
Just over two hours later, the entire city of South Carolina was completely cleared.
The enemy will run away and surrender.
But the commander who defended the city did not run away. In the end, he wanted to resist desperately and held back a few people.
However, this situation was observed by the Hawkmon team and reported to Nalant.
Then Nalant personally took action and captured him very easily.
But the priest didn't catch him because he ran fast.
When the city guard commander was caught by Narant, he spoke out to Narant very forcefully.
"You foreign invaders, kill me if you dare. You want me to surrender. There is no chance!"
"I will never become a traitor like Arnold!"
Bang bang bang!
"Very good, very backbone. What I like most is people with backbone!"
"Aren't you asking for death? I won't kill you. I want to take you to see how I capture your Flame Continent one by one!"
Nalant clapped his hands and applauded the courage of the city guard commander.
I have to say that such a person who would rather die than surrender is still worthy of admiration.
"You are shameless!"
After hearing what Nalant said, the city guard commander immediately glared angrily.
"hehe!"
Nalant paid no attention to the city guard commander.
"Tie him up and keep him with you. Let's enter the city first!"
Nalant didn't hesitate, and immediately started to do this with his army.
At this time, a curfew has been implemented in the city, and no one is allowed to appear on the streets.
The reason why there is a curfew even during the day is entirely because the attack by Nalant and his friends was so sudden that the believers and civilians in the city did not remember to escape.
Although last night was a good opportunity to escape.
But the problem is that ordinary people can't escape.
In addition, if his escape was discovered, he would be worried about being chased directly outside the city by Nalant and others.
In this case, we might as well hide in the city against the city wall.
In their opinion, the city of South Carolina is so towering and has an army of 300,000 people, so it should be able to resist the enemy's invasion.
Unexpectedly, it only took half a day for the city to be breached.
After entering the city, Nalant walked all the way and soon arrived at the South Carolina Mansion behind the city.
Because this is a completely theocratic continent.
In this way, there are no city lords or nobles.
But those who are really in charge are some military commanders and priests.
In this way, there is no city lord's mansion in this city, but there is also a luxurious mansion.
This mansion is usually used for worshipers and leaders to live in.
When necessary, it can be used as a residence for high-level officials from the Divine Continent who come from other places.
In short, this luxurious mansion does not actually belong to any city lord's palace or noble manor.
After entering the mansion, it didn't take long for Quick and others to arrest several officials from the city.
These officials are civil affairs officials and have not escaped before.
"Meet...meet my lord!"
Several people cowered and knelt on the ground.
Even in this land of gods with faith, not everyone is not afraid of death.
"Well, which one of you is the Civil Affairs Officer of South Carolina City?"
"Sir, it's... it's small!" said a slightly obese middle-aged man.
"Very good, tell me about South Carolina's situation, population, wealth, and other information!"
Narant did not hesitate and went directly to the topic.
"Yes, yes, sir!"
Immediately, the civil affairs officer began to introduce the situation in South Carolina.
This South Carolina city has a total of more than 2.8 million residents.
Definitely not a small number.
As for wealth, the tax revenue collected by the City of South Carolina amounts to more than 10 million gold coins every year.
The vast majority of the tax money will be sent to the temple, while only a small amount will be left in Nankaro City to maintain the operation of the city, or to recruit and train soldiers.
The average income in South Carolina is pretty good, and at least people are rarely found starving to death.
Of course, the wealthiest people live in the DC area of South Carolina.
Narant was very satisfied with the news.
"Very good, now I want you to go to the city to summon all the powerful people living in the East District."
"Besides, I would like to inform you that all believers can resume their normal lives starting tomorrow."
"I allow them to pray to the God of Fire normally."
"Yes, sir!"
The civil affairs officer quickly wiped his sweat to show his approval.
Immediately, the civil affairs officer quickly headed to the East District.
But just over an hour later, the civil affairs officer brought thousands of wealthy households from the East District to the outside of the mansion.
However, what left Narant speechless was that each of these wealthy households in the East District brought a large cart full of gold, silver, treasures and valuables.
"I've seen you, sir. Please spare my life!"
When the wealthy people in the East District saw Nalant, they immediately knelt on the ground and begged him for mercy.
"Get up, why are you making such a fuss? I didn't say I wanted to kill you!"
Nalant waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up.
"Yes, yes, my lord is kind!"
When these wealthy households heard this, they immediately stood up cautiously.
"Sir, these treasures and objects were given to you by them as a tribute. I only hope that you can be merciful and spare one of them!"
