Chapter 1,257 Flooding the city of Machile(2/3)

It can rain heavily, and each girl can sustain it for at least an hour.
Nalant divided them into four groups and took turns.
Not only will there be enough time to restore the natural power, but it will also not overdraw the girls' strength.
In this way, even if it lasts for ten days and ten nights, it won't be a big problem for the girls.
The only thing to consider is that everyone needs sleep.
Even with extraordinary power, it can only last three to five days without sleep.
But three to five days is actually quite enough.
Based on the current situation, Nalant felt that the city of Machile could collapse in two days at most.
Time passed, and soon the morning sun rose from the east.
Watching the rising sun, Nalant and others came to the front of the formation to watch in high spirits.
A group of leaders and priests also came to Nalant's side.
"This... is still happening!"
And when they saw that there were still heavy dark clouds gathering above the city of Machile.
There was also the heavy rain that had covered the entire city of Machile, and they couldn't help but utter a sound of surprise.
They thought that last night would be like daytime, and if they let the rain fall for a while, it would stop.
So they didn't know how Nalant got the confidence to attack the city of Machiavelli.
But now I see the heavy rain that has not stopped that night, plus the turbid water that is constantly being discharged from the ditches in the city like a flood.
They finally knew what Narant wanted to do.
That was the flooded city of Marcheleth.
As for whether it will be successful?
People are not sure.
But no matter what, the soldiers and civilians in the city will definitely not have an easy time.
After all, the water discharged from the ditch has become so ferocious, so one can imagine how serious the water accumulation in the city is.
Even if it does not pose a danger to human life, flooding houses and materials is enough to cause heavy losses to the city of Machiavelli.
In fact, the situation in the city was much more serious than these leaders and priests imagined.
At this time, the water in the city was no longer limited to low-lying areas, but covered the entire city.
The water depth has reached two meters. Only behind the inner city, because of the higher terrain, there is only one meter of water.
But even so, basically all the houses were submerged in water.
Civilians and soldiers could only take shelter on the second floor of the house, or simply on the roof.
If you want to cross the street, you can only use floats or go directly through the water.
"Damn it, how long will this rain continue to rain?"
On the city wall, Kandel looked at the clear sky outside the city, his face looking horribly ugly.
I just received the news that the city is almost completely flooded.
Civilians can only hide on rooftops or other high places to avoid danger.
More importantly, the supplies that were safe last night were flooded today.
Because the rain was so heavy, many supplies that needed to be kept dry were difficult to move.
Since it cannot be moved and there are not many high places to store supplies in place, flooding will naturally happen.
Moreover, this situation will become more serious as the rain continues.
The city walls of Machiavelli are towering and the gates are airtight.
Except for a few ditches sealed with thick mithril steel strips, there is no other means of drainage.
In this way, the city of Machle is like a water tank.
As long as it continues to rain, the waterlogging in Machile will become more serious.
"Commander Kandel, the food of most civilians in the city has been flooded and is inedible."
"Now I have received help from the civil affairs officer, let us find a way to drain the rainwater."
"Otherwise, when the last bit of food is submerged, there will be no need for the enemy to attack."
"I'm afraid that all the food in our city will be flooded, and then everyone will starve to death." The priests of Macile City had also arrived on the city wall at this time.
Machile's combat defense was left to Kandel.
However, it is Rem, the priest, who is responsible for calming the emotions of the people in the city and ensuring the stability of the city.
But this rain directly made the originally stable city become precarious.
"Rem, what can I do? Do you want me to open all the four doors to drain water?"
"Then why are we still defending the city? Aren't we going to bring these Io continent invaders to our doorstep when the time comes?"
When Kandel heard this, he responded angrily.
Originally, he thought it would be extremely easy for him to deal with the invaders from the Io continent this time.
But now he realized that the opponent's methods were endless and he was unable to resist them.
"But Commander Kandel, if this continues, tens of millions of civilians in our city will either drown or starve to death."
"If this is really the case, it would be better to surrender the Io continent's army."
"After all, Arnold and the others said that this Io continent's army is different from other divine invaders."
Rem heard this and suggested speaking to Kandel.
Obviously, what Rem cares about is not the gain or loss of the city, but the life and death of the civilians in the city.
Because this is related to their essential work, maintaining the common people's faith in the God of Fire.
Since we want to maintain our faith, we naturally need to help and protect civilians.
It was precisely because of Rem's outstanding performance in the past that he treated all believers and civilians with a kind heart.
Only then did he stand out from the crowd of priests and become the priest of Machile City, which has tens of millions of civilians.
"Shut up Rem, how could you say such words that betray the God of Fire!"
"I, Kandel, am the commander of Macile City personally appointed by the God of Fire. As long as I am here, I will not surrender even if I fight to the last man!"
When Kandel heard Rem's persuasion, he felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and he immediately yelled angrily.
Rem also didn't expect Kandel to be so irritable. He frowned but said nothing more.
Kandel ignored him, "I want to see how long they can go down!"
But Kandel didn't know that what he said was a slap in the face.
Because Nalant really showed it to him.
Early the next morning, the water level in the city had risen to an average of two and a half meters.
At such a depth, the low-lying areas outside the city have been completely flooded, and even the roofs of many bungalows have been lost.
Only some buildings in the Twin Cities or houses on higher ground can still be seen above the water.
The consequence of this is that the civilians in the city have nowhere to hide and can only crowd on a few rooftops.
As for the soldiers in the city, they have all climbed up the city wall.
Of course, in order to avoid Nalant's trebuchet bombs, these soldiers basically withdrew to the rear city walls on the left and right sides of Macile City.
And Priest Rem actually came to Kandel again.
"Commander Kandel, a total of two thousand people died in the city last night due to floods and various other factors."
"And the rate and number will continue to increase because they are cold and hungry."
"So, Commander Kandel, I don't think we need to defend anymore.
To be continued...
