Chapter 1,252 The Army of Mercy(2/3)
Not to mention killing people and robbing wealth, the soldiers of the God Legion did all kinds of evil and did not take the lives of the civilians in the Flame God Continent seriously.
But Narant and the other soldiers not only did not break into the store.
Even his posture and appearance seemed meticulous.
Soon, Nalant arrived at the small town mansion surrounded by everyone.
It's just as luxurious as the small town mansion.
After arriving at the mansion, Nalant's operations were as usual.
First, people were notified of the entire process, and then wealthy households in the city were invited to prepare for the construction of the temple.
In this regard, the people in Maixiang City naturally cooperated fully.
At this moment, the two surrendered commanders and priests finally confirmed that Nalant was really not planning to plunder Maixiang City.
The two of them no longer felt guilty about their act of surrender, but only felt happy.
Fortunately, the two of them knew that Nalant would set off again tomorrow.
I was now ready to follow.
In this way, Nalant's next team to persuade him to surrender will become stronger and stronger.
As the team that persuades people to surrender grows, the success rate of those who persuade them to surrender will naturally become higher.
On the second day, Narant led the team to set off decisively according to the plan.
Because Maixiang City is small, Nalant only left a team of 5,000 people to guard it.
After capturing three cities in this way, Nalant's team only had 450,000 men.
However, he did not panic. If he really felt that his troops were not enough, it would be quick to wait for support from the camp.
The next journey lasted three days.
I don’t wonder why I walked so far this time, because this time I needed to cross a dense forest area.
Fortunately, there is a road here, so although the journey is a bit far, there is no danger.
The fourth city that Nalant and others came to this time was a medium-sized town about the same size as South Carolina City, called Dessen City.
When the defenders in Desen City saw the arrival of Nalant and others, they were not too surprised.
Because they already knew the news and were ready to defend themselves.
Seeing that there were dense ravines and horse-rejecting stakes even outside the city, Nalant immediately looked at several commanders and priests.
"It seems I have to thank you more this time!"
Nalant said with a smile.
"Lord Narant, we will do our best!"
After hearing this, several people nodded very solemnly towards Nalant.
The city of Desen was so well-defended and fully prepared, so naturally the leaders and priests did not dare to neglect it.
It's not that they are absolutely rebellious and want the Flame Continent to be occupied.
Rather, I feel that although Dessen City is fully prepared, there is still a high probability of being breached by Nalant.
Because the strength of Texas City is actually almost the same as South Carolina City and Mitchell City.
Even if you are fully prepared, you may only be able to hold on longer and kill more enemies.
But then, problems arise.
What if Desen City killed more of Nalant's subordinates, but failed to defend them in the end.
Will the city of Dessen be as safe and sound as the first three cities?
Especially like Maixiang City, it is almost the same as before.
The soldiers guarding the city returned the favor.
There is also an additional temple next to the palace square in the city.
As for the rest, civilians can do whatever they want, and they can even go there every day to contribute their faith to the God of Fire.
In this way, compared to the civilians of the Flame Continent from several other directions, this is simply the lucky one.
Afterwards, several priests and leaders immediately headed towards the city of Desen ahead.
After crossing various ravines and sharp horse-blocking posts, the group of people soon arrived at the foot of Desen City.
"Mike, Dori, Cullen, Kayled...it's you!"
Several people appeared, and sounds of surprise immediately came from the city wall.
When Mike, Dori and others looked at the top of the city wall, they discovered that there were densely packed soldiers, many of whom were not even wearing armor.
It seems that civilians in Desen City have been mobilized to participate in the defense battle.
If civilians were added to the original guards, the number of defenders would probably reach 700,000 to 800,000.
"Commander Daryl, yes, it's us!" After hearing this, several people clamored to say hello from above.
"I heard about it a few days ago. I heard that you have surrendered to the enemy. What are you here to do this time, to persuade me to surrender like the rumors say?" A mocking voice came from above.
The people below frowned when they heard this.
It's not that he feels insulted and angry, but it feels like it's not easy for Daryl to surrender.
"Daryl, yes, we did surrender to the enemy, but we are not afraid of death."
"We are very willing to fight to the death, but have you thought about the civilians and soldiers in the city?"
"They also have families, wives and daughters. Why push them into the abyss because of a battle that is simply unwinnable?"
"So, we finally chose to surrender, but we did not betray the God of Fire."
"If our God of Fire continent can finally settle down, we will immediately kill ourselves in front of the statue of the God of Fire and repent to the God of Fire!"
Dori and others immediately spoke upwards to explain.
But what greeted him was a burst of ridicule from above.
"Really? You actually talk about surrendering to the enemy as being so great and noble. Do you really feel no shame?"
"Forget it, I don't want to say anything to you. Everyone has his own ambitions. You want to live an ignoble existence, but I, Daryl, will never do that."
"If you want me to surrender, then you have to give up!"
"Have you seen the fortifications outside the city and the fortifications on the city wall?"
"I mobilized hundreds of thousands of people and it took me four days to complete it."
"If those damn intruders dare to attack, then I'll give them a taste of failure."
"In addition, I also know that they have a powerful explosive weapon."
"So you have seen the shed roof on the city wall, that kind of cannonball can't hit the city wall at all!"
Daryl above sneered at the persuasion to surrender.
In his opinion, he already fully understands the enemy.
The enemy itself is not strong because there are very few golden knights and earth knights among them.
Only the unknown explosive weapons are the most difficult to defend against.
However, according to the people who had escaped from the previous cities, he already knew how to restrain that kind of weapon.
That is, like a defensive trebuchet, a roof was installed on the top of the city wall.
These ceilings are like roofs with a bulge in the middle and sloping sides.
The material is a combination of thick wooden strips and iron sheets.
They used up all the metal in the city to build it.
At that time, even if the enemy's bomb hits the top, it will roll away directly.
Even if it explodes directly on the roof, it will not damage the city wall.
Also, in order to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels, they dug a trench three meters wide and twenty meters deep twenty meters outside the city, and filled it with water.
