Faced with the orders of the high priest, these captains still obeyed.
Even though I was anxious at the moment, I could only obey obediently.
Then, I saw the high priest of the flames quickly coming to the city, and ordered to the dead soldiers, "Bring white cloths and wait for the wave army to arrive. I will go to the carriage first. Remember, even if you die, you must ensure that the city gate is opened."
!”
"Anyone who wants to get close to the city gate will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Lord High Priest!"
Upon hearing this, the dead soldiers immediately took out the sleeves they had prepared in advance and hung them on their arms.
The Flame High Priest was hiding in the carriage.
This is just in case, if something unexpected happens, as long as she doesn't show up, the situation in the city can still be saved!
…
At the same time, the dozen or so dead soldiers outside the city had arrived in front of the Wave Legion camp as quickly as possible.
"We are sent by the High Priest of Fire, please get out of the way, we want to see the God of Waves!"
Following the shouting, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to stop him, and the rangers also followed around and did not step forward to stop him.
It wasn't until they arrived in front of the Wave Legion camp that they were blocked.
But at this time, the God of Waves had already heard the news of the opening of the Flame Holy City, and came to the wooden wall of the camp.
"Lord God of Waves, our High Priest is willing to choose to cooperate with you, Wave Continent. Now that the city gate has been opened, please send troops immediately, otherwise changes may occur if time goes by!"
Seeing the God of Fire, several dead soldiers didn't waste any time and immediately told the purpose of their coming.
After hearing this, the God of Waves was naturally overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha, you High Priest made a wise choice."
"Come here, send troops into the city immediately!"
"Yes, Lord God!"
Immediately, the Flame Legion immediately began a big move. The first to be dispatched were the large cavalry, and then the elite legionnaires.
These soldiers were all heading towards the Flame Holy City in a steady stream.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the high priest closed the city gate yet?"
Although they were ordered by the high priest not to pay attention to the city gate, the captains of the city guards who were guarding the city were still a little worried. They were looking down on the city wall with their heads down.
However, they found that soldiers from the Wave Legion were already attacking the city and began to run towards the city.
And the wave legion army in the distance came even more menacingly.
As a result, the captain immediately led more than 100 meters of subordinates towards the city.
When I climbed down the stairs, I saw more than a hundred fellow city guards standing at the gate, but they remained indifferent.
So he quickly came down below and asked the soldiers
"Where is your Excellency the High Priest? What's going on with you? Go and close the door quickly! A large army of enemy troops is coming from a distance!"
Puff puff!
However, what they responded to was a gleaming white sword.
In an instant, two or three unsuspecting city guard soldiers were chopped down.
This captain was not weak in strength, so he reflected on it immediately.
"Damn it, they are spies and traitors, kill them quickly and close the door!"
Even though the city guard captain was slow to react, he still woke up.
Of course, if these people hadn't been brought by the Flame High Priest, he would have woken up earlier.
Immediately, a group of city guards fought with more than a hundred dead soldiers.
However, most of the city guards were blocked on the stairs, and for a while the captain and others were unable to break through the defense of the dead soldiers.
Moreover, as the siege soldiers of the Wave Legion outside the city reacted, those soldiers also began to enter the city and join the battle.
…
"Damn it, the high priest actually betrayed the Lord God of Fire!"
"Quick, let's go to help immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"
At this time, everything that happened at the city gate fell into the eyes of Nalant and a group of Acropolis commanders who were lying on the roof not far away.
Seeing the fierce battle taking place at the gate of the city, these Acropolis commanders were eager to step forward immediately.
"etc!"
But just as they were about to move, they were immediately stopped by Nalant!
"Your Excellency Nalant!" Today's Acropolis commanders still fully agree with Nalant's words.
In this way, even though he was anxious, he still stopped his body.
"If you go over now, you won't be able to save much of the situation. Think about it, why is the High Priest of Flame hiding now?"
"He is just in case things are exposed and he will be accused of betrayal, so if you jump out, you may change the outcome of tonight's defeat."
"But it absolutely cannot change the decision of the Flame High Priest to continue to use the Holy City as a bargaining chip in the future!" Nalant said.
"Your Excellency Nalant, what should we do?" After hearing this, all the Acropolis commanders were very reasonable.
Although they might be able to close the door if they rush out.
But now that the High Priest of Fire is hiding, they have no evidence that it was the High Priest of Fire who ordered it.
"Do you still remember what you promised me last night?"
"Lord Nalant, of course we remember that the High Priest of Fire has rebelled. No matter what we do, our Holy City may not have much time left!"
"So, even if we have to bear the reputation of a traitor, we are willing to hand over the Holy City to you so that the civilians in the city can survive in the future!"
Naturally, several Acropolis commanders will not forget it.
And at this time, they also knew that there was probably no hope for the Holy City in their hands.
In this way, there will naturally be no resistance to handing over the holy city to Nalant.
"Very good. Since you agreed, then you should listen to me. Not only will the Flame High Priest reveal his true colors, but it will also protect the Holy City!"
"Yes, Lord Narante!"
When the commanders of the guards heard the words, they immediately responded.
Then, Narant's plan finally started.
First of all, the commander of the city guard who was busy putting out the fire suddenly received a report from a soldier, saying that the gate of the city wall had been opened by spies and that he needed immediate help.
Upon hearing this, the city guard commander did not hesitate at all, leaving some of his subordinates to put out the fire, and quickly headed towards the city gate with a total of fifty thousand people.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the news from the city gate to reach him.
Even if it is transmitted, it will take half an hour to an hour.
If this is the case, the day lilies will be cold by the time the city guards lead them over.
As the city guard commander rushed to the main entrance of the city wall, a group of guards commanders began to issue assembly orders to their respective captains.
When they came this time, they were accompanied by people.
Soon, these Acropolis soldiers gathered together, and their number reached half a million.
Of course, compared to the previous period when there were at least over a million Acropolis soldiers, the casualties at this time were already over half.
And these casualties have been caused in recent days.
One can imagine how miserable they were squeezed.
