"So, Commander Kandel, open the city gate. This is a matter of life and death for tens of millions of civilian believers!"
Priest Rem's words were sonorous and forceful, completely different from his previous appearance of giving in to Kandel.
When Kandel saw Rem like this, he was filled with anger.
He glared at Rem angrily and said, "Priest Rem, although you are a priest, you have no right to interfere with my city defense affairs."
"I want you to leave the city wall immediately and return to your temple, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Kandel was desperate at this moment.
Since he was bribed by the spies of the God of Waves a few months ago, he has no way out.
Because the spies of the God of Waves not only had evidence that he had embezzled a large amount of property.
He also promised him great benefits.
Then when the God of Fire's Continent is occupied by the God of Waves, they will consider Kandel's merits and let him hold some important positions.
Even if there are no other great achievements in the end, as long as the city of Machle is preserved for the God of Fire, Kandel's commander of Machle City will still be unable to escape in the future.
Compared to his colleagues who died in this invasion, Kandel felt that if he could really continue to serve as commander, it would definitely be a better outcome.
As for going further, he actually wanted to, but now seeing the situation outside the city, it was a bit difficult.
In this way, his bottom line is to defend the city of Marchley, no matter how high the price is.
Even if there were casualties among civilians in the city, it would not be as important as his own future.
And Rem's current actions greatly threaten his plan, so he will also regard Rem as an enemy.
"Kander, do you know what you are talking about? I am the commander of Machile City and a sacrifice to the God of Fire."
"If you are rude to me, you will be investigated!" Rem is not afraid of Kandel.
Because in fact, in their land of gods, the status of the priest is slightly higher than that of the military commander.
Because the sacrifice is responsible for appeasing the common people and gaining the power of faith for the God of Fire.
In the past, the commander was only responsible for maintaining order, and it only became more important when waging war abroad.
After all, if the God of Fire is still alive, then what enemy can invade the God of Fire Continent?
However, Rem obviously did not expect that Kandel no longer had any respect for the God of Fire.
After all, if you have enough respect, you won't choose to surrender to the enemy.
"Haha, punish me? Rem, do you think there will still be people in the Holy City to take care of these things?"
"I will give you two choices now, either return to the temple immediately, or I will have someone tie you back to the temple."
Kandel sneered and asked Rem.
"Kander, how dare you!"
"Then let me show you!" Kandel saw that Rem was still stubborn, so he was not polite.
"Come here, kidnap Priest Rem to me and escort him back to the temple immediately for my attention. He is not allowed to leave the temple again!"
"Yes, sir!" After hearing this, several subordinates immediately stepped forward and started to take action.
Although Kandel has secretly betrayed the God of Fire and thrown himself into the arms of the God of Waves.
But after all, he has been the commander of Machlie City for so many years, and he still has a group of loyal people under him.
And these subordinates were basically arranged by him to guard against accidents.
Soon, Rem was tied up and put on the raft, and then several soldiers took him to the temple.
"Look, look, what's going on? Priest Rem has been kidnapped!"
"Yes, why should Rem be tied up and sacrificed?"
On the way to the temple, Rem's condition was immediately noticed by the civilians on the surrounding rooftops.
Rem used to have a very good reputation in this Machle city.
Because he treats every civilian well, he is so loved by people.
At this time, when everyone saw that he was tied up, they were all shocked and confused.
Rem, however, did not speak because his mouth was blocked.
Of course, even if he could speak, he probably wouldn't say anything because he didn't want to cause riots in the city, because he knew that if they knew the purpose of being trapped, these civilians would definitely lose their trust in Kandel.
However, Priest Rem didn't want to cause chaos, but things had already happened to this point, and they were completely out of his control.
The civilians in the outer city are easier to say, they are all at the bottom of the city and do not have a strong sense of resistance.
But the wealthy households in the inner city and east city are different.
After they knew that Nalant was going to stop for a day to allow them to evacuate, they had long been eager to escape Machile City as soon as possible.
After all, Machile City is now at risk of being flooded by direct waterlogging, which is completely different from the impregnable nature that everyone thought before.
At this time, most of these wealthy households gathered around the temple, waiting for the return of Rem Priest.
Because they had heard from other priests in the temple that Rem went to ask Kandel to open the city gate to release the flood.
When they saw Rem being tied up and sent back by several soldiers, everyone had a bad feeling and immediately stepped forward to question him.
"Why did you tie up Rem to sacrifice?"
"That's right, release Rem Priest now!"
A group of wealthy households were considered to be powerful people in the city in the past, so naturally they would not be afraid of a few soldiers.
"Everyone retreat, everyone retreat, this is Lord Kandel's order."
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, several soldiers immediately drew their swords from their waists and threatened everyone to retreat.
"You let Commander Rem go first, otherwise we won't be able to rear!" A group of rich families immediately counterattacked.
When several soldiers saw this, they suddenly became furious.
"If you come forward again, I will kill you without mercy."
"If we don't retreat, let's release Priest Rem first!"
puff!
At this moment, perhaps because a few wealthy households were too far forward, a guard finally subconsciously swung his sword.
This sword struck directly on the shoulder of a wealthy man.
"Ah! These soldiers killed people!" Suddenly, the crowd became commotion, and they all retreated and ran away in fear.
But after being frightened, their anger grew even stronger, and they looked at several soldiers who wanted to come forward and devour them alive.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Listen carefully, because the Rem sacrifice has affected the stability of the city, this is Lord Kandel's order, you should leave here immediately."
"We will not harm Priest Rem, we are just keeping him under temporary custody!"
The soldiers were not afraid of the crowd's anger, and they only briefly explained the situation while warning.
"Didn't Priest Rem ask Commander Kandel to open the city gate to release the flood? How could it affect the security of the city?"
"Yes, isn't Commander Kandel unwilling to open the city gate?"
"Yes, but will the city gate be opened?"
Everyone didn't dare to step forward, but they didn't retreat either.
Because they still need to figure out one more important thing, that is whether they can wear a condom.
"Sir Kandel said that this time is probably a trick of the enemy. For the safety of the city, the city gate cannot be opened."
"So, everyone, get out of my way now!"
After saying that, several soldiers held long swords and led Priest Rem all the way into the temple.
At this time, the crowd's attention was no longer on Rem.
Instead, they heard that Kandel was unwilling to open the city gate, and everyone immediately became anxious.
"Kander refuses to open the city gate, so when will the flood in the city recede? How can we escape?"
"Yes, the intruders outside only gave us one day. If we don't open the city gate, it will be too late. Kandel wants to kill us."
