But when Rem said such words here, he became his biggest enemy.
"Priest Rem, please don't say such words again. This is the last time. If you say such words that shake the morale of the army again, then don't blame me for being rude!"
"Come here, bring Priest Rem down!"
Kandel gave instructions directly to his men.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and watched as Priest Rem headed towards the city wall.
At this time, the city was flooded, and the Rem sacrifice came from the temple, relying on a temporary raft made of wooden planks.
After a while, Rem was escorted back to the temple.
But after returning to the temple, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he looked at the trembling civilians on the rooftops around him.
"Kander must be crazy."
"If this continues, what difference will it make whether the city of Machile is defended or not?"
Unfortunately, Rem does not have military power in this city.
In this way, I could only vent a few words, shake my head and return to the statue of the God of Fire to pray.
…
"Sir, the water in the city is at least two meters at this time, and most areas in the city have been submerged."
"Only a few buildings with particularly high bases, such as temples, have not been flooded."
Outside the city, Nalant also received reports from his subordinates from time to time.
Because the city of Machile did not have air combat capabilities, Nalant had complete control of the air.
"That guy Kandel is not willing to surrender. Is he really prepared to live and die with the city?"
"Yes, this guy must be crazy. We told him long ago that the city cannot be defended, but he didn't listen."
"If it's still too late to surrender now, Lord Nalant probably won't suppress the civilians in the city."
After hearing the report, Nalant had not yet responded, but the leaders and priests on the side were already dissatisfied with Nakander.
In the case of the Flame Continent, not only is it occupied by Nalant, it will also be occupied by those divine continents.
This is the general trend, but Kandel insists on going his own way, which may cause tens of millions of civilians in the city to be buried together. They really cannot have any respect for Kandel.
"Haha, as the saying goes, the destruction of heaven will make it crazy. If the Kandel you are talking about is not selfish, then there is a high probability that he is really crazy!"
Narant finally chuckled at this time.
After hearing this, all the leaders and priests looked over.
Arnold hesitated for a few times, then finally knelt down with a thud.
Nalant wondered why this guy was so shameless, always kneeling down to beg for mercy.
However, what Narant expected was that Kandel did not beg for mercy this time, but instead asked Narant a question.
"Lord Narant, if Kandel really doesn't surrender, will you...will you keep raining until the rain floods the entire city of Machile?"
This question is actually not just what Arnold wants to ask.
Other commanders and priests also want to know.
So everyone was waiting for Narant's answer.
Nalant heard this and smiled slightly: "I said I couldn't do it, do you believe it?"
It's just that Nalant didn't answer directly, but asked everyone in return.
Everyone pondered for a moment, but they still couldn't come up with an answer.
Arnold was the first to speak at this time: "Sir Nalant, if I were put in your position, I wouldn't be able to make a choice."
"With the current attitude of Kandel in the city, if the city is not completely submerged and they are cut off from the supply of food and materials, then Kandel may really be able to stay trapped forever."
"And if the Io army directly attacks Kandel City with such complete defenses and such towering walls, it will definitely suffer huge losses..."
"You are right. If you are soft-hearted, this is indeed the result I will encounter!"
Regarding Arnold's analysis, Narant nodded with satisfaction.
However, after a pause, he changed the subject and said, "However, there are at least tens of millions of people in this city."
"Although I, Nalant, kill decisively, I am not a real executioner."
"I can tell you now that the massacre I told you before was just to scare you!"
Narant said frankly to everyone.
Originally, Nalant felt that even if he told the truth, these commanders and priests would not believe him.
But after he finished speaking, Arnold immediately nodded and said: "Lord Nalant, I, Arnold, believe this, so I did not continue to ask you to let the civilians in Machlie City go."
"Well, you believe it? You're not flattering me just to please me, right?"
Nalant asked in surprise.
Arnold's expression became solemn, and he said: "Baron Nalant, from the moment I was captured by you, Arnold, I have never been afraid that I will die."
"Because even if you don't kill me, I will understand myself when I can be sure that the civilians of the Flame God Continent can live in peace."
"Before, I really didn't know what kind of person you were, Lord Nalant."
"Speak of your kindness. Outside the canyon, you killed millions of gods' coalition forces just talking and laughing."
"But you may be said to be cruel, but after you invaded the Flame Continent, starting from the time you broke into South Carlo City, you didn't kill even a single innocent person after entering the city."
"In addition, you don't take any of the wealth donated by the wealthy households in the city."
"I want to say that even though I, Arnold, grew up in the Divine Continent, and the entire continent nominally belongs to the Divine Lord, I have never seen anyone as upright as you."
"From the moment I became aware of these circumstances, I gradually realized that Lord Naranter, your cruelty is probably disguised by you."
"Because a benevolent enemy can never scare the enemy."
"So, when you face us, although you often say you want to massacre the city, you are just talking every time."
"You actually saw through it!"
After hearing this, Narant stopped pretending.
He, Narant, really couldn't do anything like massacre the city.
After all, they are all living people, including children, mothers, fathers and grandparents.
These are all living entities.
"Lord Narant, you really don't have to pretend anymore, because your kindness makes us admire and happy more than your cruelty."
"Today I know that Sir Nalant must be very troubled, so I, Arnold, am willing to serve you. I will go to Machile City to assassinate Nakander."
"If the assassination is successful, I believe that the priests and other soldiers and generals in the city will definitely surrender."
"But if I can't succeed, then Sir Nalant, you can fight however you want. This is the fate of Machile City."
Arnold smiled at Nalant.
There was a hint of sincerity in that smile, but also a hint of pain and confusion.
Originally, he was the God of Fire and the most pious and reliable leader of the Flame Continent.
But now he wants to take the initiative to assassinate the leader of a city and let the city be given to the enemy.
Although he was trying to save the civilians in the city, he must still have a lot of psychological burden.
He didn't know whether this was a betrayal of the God of Fire or an attempt to save the Flame Continent.
Nalant saw Arnold's expression, but shook his head and smiled: "Haha, Arnold, you really underestimate me."
"If we want to capture this city, there is no need for you to go out, and there is no need for the civilians in the city to be buried with Kandel."
"Tomorrow at the latest, I can capture this city without spending a single soldier. Do you believe it or not?"
Arnold obviously didn't believe it, but he really couldn't find anything to say to refute Nalant.
Mainly because of all the miraculous things that Narant has done during this period, they have developed an obsessive trust in Narant.
To be continued...
