Because of the distance, they couldn't hear the shouts outside the city at all.

"The attack of the Wave Legion was dispersed? Damn it, what happened!" The commander of the city guard was not calm now.

The conspiracy he finally set up, with victory in sight, now actually told him that the attack outside the city had been interrupted.

This helps him calm down.

"How is the condition on the city wall?"

"Lord Commander, the number of Wave Legion soldiers on the city wall has begun to decrease!"

Woohoo!

At this moment, the faint sound of horns reached the city.

"This is... the clarion call for the Wave Legion to retreat?"

"Asshole, damn it, how could this happen!"

The commander of the city guard's face was ashen, his eyes were full of blood and anger, and he looked like he had the urge to eat people.

When his subordinates saw this, they couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

Obviously, with the sound of the horn, it means that their plan has completely failed.

Victory was already in sight, but in the end the cooked duck flew away. No wonder he was so excited.

Moreover, if several Acropolis commanders find out what happened this time, it will not be so easy to kill them again in the future.

"Commander...Commander, now that the enemy has retreated, we...should we go to support, no...otherwise, what if we are noticed by the commanders of the Acropolis!"

Although the current appearance of his leader was terrifying, his captain had no choice but to bite the bullet and warn him.

Because if it were any later, they would have exposed their secrets.

"Let people go to support immediately!"

The city guard commander also came to his senses after hearing this, gritted his teeth and issued an order to his men.

"Yes, Lord Commander!"

Immediately, his men retreated and led tens of thousands of city guards toward the front city wall.

"Quick, speed up, the front wall needs support!"

"Hurry up!"

With shouts and shouts, tens of thousands of city guards rushed up the city wall.

And when they rushed up to the city wall, what they saw was that the ground was bright red, and the corpses of enemies and Acropolis soldiers were lying on the ground.

The surviving city guard soldiers were all slumped on the ground covered in blood, as if they had walked out of hell.

When seeing them, these Acropolis soldiers did not show any expression of joy, but looked at them coldly.

That look made the city guard soldiers feel uncomfortable all over.

When the city guard captain who led the team saw this, he immediately said bravely: "Brothers of the city guard, I'm sorry that we are late."

"The Ice Legion attack behind the city is too fierce, and there are a large number of spies to provide internal support for them."

Since the plan failed, naturally these Acropolis soldiers should not know about this matter.

Even if we cover it up now, there may still be many loopholes, but there is nothing we can do about it.

"Really? The rear city wall was almost breached and you went to support us. Then our front wall was breached. Can the Holy City be saved?"

At this moment, several city guard commanders came over and asked the captain of the city guard.

"These... commanders, the main reason is that we did not expect that the battle on the front wall would be so fierce!"

The city guard captain's expression changed several times, and he found an excuse again.

"Huh, let us rescue the wounded first. We are too lazy to question you, the little captain. We will naturally go back and question your commander later!"

Fortunately, several Acropolis commanders also looked down upon a mere captain like him, and immediately dismissed him coldly.

"Okay, I'll have people start rescuing the wounded right now!"

Immediately, the captain of the city guard led his people to rescue the wounded.

The several Acropolis commanders looked at each other and led thousands of subordinates towards the direction of the temple.

boom!

"Cavalry? Coming from the south, it's that damn boy again!"

In the temple, the city guard commander has arrived and informed the Flame High Priest of the failure of the plan.

After learning that it was a cavalry team from the south that ruined their good deeds, the Flame High Priest immediately guessed the identity of the spoilers.

At that moment, the expression on his face almost became distorted.

Because Nalant kept causing trouble for him again and again, not to mention that Nalant's existence had already damaged his prestige.

It even made him bear the label of blasphemy.

Just for this reason, the Flame High Priest wanted to eat Nalant alive.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, what should we do now? We failed to kill those Acropolis commanders tonight. I'm afraid they will notice some clues later." The city guard commander spoke in a low voice.

"What should I do? Isn't there an excuse for being attacked behind the city wall? Just use this excuse to shut their mouths."

"Do they want any other reason? This holy city is still decided by me, the high priest!"

Although the plan had failed, the Flame High Priest was not as uneasy as the city guard commander.

The commander of the city guard thought that some of the commanders of the city guard might find out the clues and cause trouble.

But the Flame High Priest is confident. Even if they find some clues, as long as they don't get 100% evidence, they don't dare to make mistakes.

At least they dare not do anything to the high priest themselves, otherwise they will never be able to bear the accusation of betraying the gods.

"But then again, these guys will never be reused in the future. I have to find a way to take away the military power in their hands." The Flame High Priest continued at this time.

Just as the Flame High Priest finished speaking, a report from his subordinates came from outside the temple door, "My Lord High Priest, the Commander of the Acropolis wishes to see you."
