Because, after the God of Fire was completely occupied by their one god continent, it was their turn to face off between these god continents.
This duel may end in a few months, but it may also take hundreds or even thousands of years.
Therefore, occupying more cities means gaining more believers.
At that time, divine power and soldiers will have an advantage over other aspects.
For this reason, these beings who claim to be powerful gods have been trying every means to capture every city as quickly as possible.
For example, to massacre a city, you would specifically find a few cities with fierce resistance and then slaughter them cleanly.
Of course, during this period, one or two thousand people will be let go.
The purpose was to let them spread the news about the massacre of this city.
It is good to intimidate other cities and see if other cities still dare to resist.
Under such circumstances, soldiers in many cities and the chief priests guarding the city would not dare to resist.
After all, if surrendering can save one life, resisting will mean that no one in the city will be spared.
This will allow these legions of the Kingdom of God to capture some cities at an extremely fast speed.
Of course, there are actually advantages and disadvantages to such a thing.
If there are cities that are timid and surrender, they will naturally encounter those who would rather die than surrender.
And often when you encounter someone who would rather die than surrender, that is definitely the hardest nut to crack.
After all, being breached means massacre of the city. No matter whether it is the soldiers or civilians in the city, they will not fight to the death.
Anyway, you will die once, and you can earn another by killing more enemies.
If the city is breached and someone is brutally killed, there will be no way to take revenge.
…
Compared to these gods, they are ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.
Narant, however, still maintained his benevolent behavior.
After a day and a half of marching, his army arrived at the city of Maichel.
When the city of Maichel saw the army outside the city, the alarm bells in the city immediately rang both inside and outside.
Maichel City was built on a mound and was considered an important place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
What's more important is that there are 500,000 permanent civilians in Maichel City, and 400,000 garrison troops.
It is more difficult to deal with than the previous South Carolina City.
But after Nalant came to this flame continent, he never thought of hiding when he saw a strong bone.
In this way, even if the city of Maichel is difficult to deal with, he is bound to win it.
In accordance with the management, Narant sent Arnold to persuade them to surrender.
What surprised him was that the captured commander who had remained silent also wanted to follow Arnold.
Nalant did not stop him and allowed the two of them to go forward.
"The commander-in-chief of Maichel City, I am Arnold, the commander-in-chief of the Flame Legion."
"I came here today to tell you that now our Flame Continent has encountered the biggest crisis."
"You should also know that the other four armies of the Kingdom of God are already invading our Holy Continent."
"And the crimes they committed against our Flame Continent are even more heinous."
"If they are allowed to continue their occupation like this, the civilians in our Flame Continent will be slaughtered by them."
"So, I am here to propose to you that you surrender to Lord Nalant behind me."
"Because Lord Nalant is different from those gods. He does not kill innocent people indiscriminately and will not harm the civilians of our Flame Continent."
"More importantly, Baron Narante will not force us to change our beliefs."
"In this way, we can still serve the God of Fire and wait for the day when the God of Fire can revive again."
"Commanders and priests in Maichel City, I don't know if you heard my words."
"If you hear this, please accept my request!"
Arnold stood more than two hundred meters outside the city wall, shouting to the defenders inside the city with an extremely sincere expression.
Arnold's sincerity comes from the heart, because he has really seen the difference between Nalant and those gods.
In this way, he has decided that letting the God of Fire Continent be occupied by Nalant is the best outcome.
"Bah, Arnold, you traitor, how dare you persuade us to surrender here."
"You are the most trusted general under the God of Fire, but now you have betrayed the God of Fire."
"And he wants to trick us into surrendering!"
However, the defenders on the city wall did not believe what Arnold said.
On the contrary, he despised Arnold as a seller seeking glory.
"Everyone, I, Arnold, swear here that I am really not afraid of death, but I want our God of Fire to survive this catastrophe."
"You can scold me or spurn me, but please seriously consider my suggestion, because you cannot defend Lord Nalant's army!"
Arnold was not angry, but continued to persuade him earnestly.
Whoosh whoosh!
"You traitor, shut up!"
It's a pity that Arnold's response from the city wall this time was a few arrows.
Although it no longer has much lethality due to its remote distance, its attitude is already very clear.
"Dorie, Mike, I'm Cullen!"
At this moment, to Arnold's surprise, the captured leader Cullen also spoke.
"Cullen, are you still alive?"
Nalant and others rested for the night, and many soldiers and civilians had escaped from South Carolina City.
In this way, the city of Maichel naturally knew that the city of South Carolina had been breached.
But they obviously didn't expect that Cullen, who was on duty in South Carolina, would be alive.
"That's right, Dori, Mike, I'm still alive!"
"It's just that I have become their prisoner now."
"But even so, I still have something to say to you!"
"Then I hope you can carefully consider Arnold's proposal."
"Because as far as I can tell, this invading team did not do anything malicious in breaking into the city."
"This army from the continent of Io didn't even collect gold, and it also preserved the temple of the God of Fire."
"If they can continue like this, then I think surrendering to them is not necessarily a bad thing."
Cullen immediately began to shout to the top of the city wall.
Of course, he did not persuade the people on the wall to surrender like Arnold did.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because his contact with Narant was too brief, although Narant did very well in South Carolina.
But who knows if he was acting, so after he explained the situation, the decision-making power still rested with the defenders in the city to decide whether to surrender.
"Cullen, we will never surrender."
"If you haven't betrayed the God of Fire, then you should take this Arnold out of here, otherwise, we will be blamed for being rude."
Obviously, the people on the city wall were familiar with Cullen and had some friendship with him.
Even though Cullen was also suspected of trying to persuade him to surrender, his words were not as harsh as Arnold's.
Cullen didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately nodded and returned with Arnold.
"Lord Nalant, I'm sorry, we still failed to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender!"
