"Yes, he wants to defend the city, so he can just stay here and defend it. Why doesn't he let us leave?"
"No, we must find a way to open the city gate and evacuate."
"Yes, we want to find a way to open the city gate and evacuate. Why don't we rescue Priest Rem now and let Priest Rem lead us to several other city gates and open the gates."
"Yes, let's do that."
It has to be said that when faced with the threat of death, people's desire to survive will really amplify infinitely.
Especially when there is a glimmer of hope ahead, no one wants to give up.
As the desire to survive increases, people will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
In the past, they would not have had the guts to fight against several heavily armed soldiers.
But now if you stay in the city, you will be dead, so naturally no one is afraid.
So, after a short discussion, these wealthy households immediately summoned their family guards to come.
Then let these guards rush into the temple with a heavy reward.
There were only eight soldiers escorting Rem for sacrifice this time.
Obviously Kandel did not expect that such a situation would follow.
In this way, eight soldiers faced hundreds of guards and had no power to resist at all.
He just raised his sword and threatened a few words, but after a while he was swarmed by the crowd and tied up.
"Priest Rem, are you okay?"
After subduing a few soldiers, the wealthy people all came to the Rem Priest.
"You...can't do this!" Rem's first words after being unchained were to anxiously tell a group of wealthy people that what they did was wrong.
But the rich obviously can no longer control that much.
"Priest Rem, the Io army outside the city only gave us one day.
"If we can't escape within this day, then I'm afraid they will really flood the entire city of Machile."
"So, we must find a way to escape, and Priest Rem, you are kind and will definitely help us escape. After all, there are tens of millions of civilians in our city."
The wealthy households immediately made a request to Rem Sacrifice.
"Oh, I just went to persuade Commander Kandel to open the city gate, but Commander Kandel didn't agree, so he tied me up."
Rem sighed again.
"Priest Rem, what should we do now? Do we really have to wait for death in the city?"
"Priest Rem, you must save us. We imagine that if the God of Fire knew about it, he would be merciful and help An Ping survive."
Knowing that they had guessed correctly, everyone immediately begged Rem.
"Hey, let's try it now. Let's go to the back door first!"
Rem Priest originally planned to allow the civilians in the city to retreat safely.
At this time, I heard everyone's prayers and it was natural for me to do so.
Afterwards, Rem led everyone directly towards the back door of Machile.
This is the farthest place from the front gate, so Rem Priest thought that he would just open the city gate and start releasing the flood.
Even if Kandel knew about it by then, it would still be not long after.
By then the fact has happened, and Kandel may not be able to persist after knowing it.
When Rem led everyone to the back door, there were also many soldiers standing on the wall of the back door just on duty.
"Priest Rem, what are you doing?"
When the captain of the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the back door saw Priest Rem bringing a group of wealthy people, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He immediately asked Priest Rem.
"I came to open the back door this time because the floods in the city could not recede and the civilians could not move in the water, so they could not escape."
Rem was very straightforward and directly informed the captain of the guard of his purpose.
"Priest Rem, I'm very sorry. We can't open the city gate without the commander's order."
Unfortunately, the captain on the city wall directly rejected Rem's request.
"Captain Rick, there are tens of millions of civilians in our city. If we don't open the city gate, and if the rain continues tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties among the civilians."
"If something like this really happens, then what's the point of the existence of Machleh?"
"Besides, when we open the city gate to release floods, we only need to keep an eye on the enemy's movements to ensure the safety of the city gate."
Rem refused to give up and continued to persuade.
But he didn't notice that the wealthy people around him started to wink again.
Obviously, with the situation just now, these wealthy households are already in ruins.
They knew that if they could not escape from the city this time, they would definitely be held accountable by Kandel.
"Priest Rem, why don't you go to the commander and ask for a warrant so that I can open the city gate."
The guarding captain still persisted.
"Do it!"
But at this moment, several wealthy households suddenly spoke up.
Immediately, hundreds of meters of guards swarmed up the city wall at the same time.
"What do you want to do?"
The captain was horrified when he saw this.
It's just that they were not prepared before, so they were caught off guard and were immediately subdued by the guards of these rich families.
"You..." Rem couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.
"Priest Rem, Kandel will definitely not let us open the city gate, so we might as well open it ourselves."
"If there is really a danger, we will close the city gate immediately."
Several wealthy households spoke.
After hearing this, Rem was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in approval.
Although this was against the rules, he had no choice but to do it for the sake of tens of millions of civilians.
"Quick, open the city gate!"
Immediately, several wealthy households immediately ordered the guards to open the city gate.
Although it was flooded, for the title knight, it was still possible to just open the city gate.
Immediately, the guards, who were more than ten meters tall, forcibly opened the city gate and blocked it with wooden bolts to prevent it from being pulled shut again by the current.
As the city gate opened, large volumes of flood water found their pouring outlet and began to drain out quickly.
While waiting, there were naturally soldiers running towards the main entrance.
After all, even if there are no enemies on the wall behind this, there are still the necessary guards.
The wealthy households only restrained dozens of soldiers and captains directly above the city gate.
