"Faster, faster!"
But when they saw soldiers reporting towards the front gate, all the wealthy households became extremely anxious.
Because although the gate is open at this time, it will take a lot of time for the flood to completely recede.
In this way, it will definitely not be possible to drain away the flood before Commander Nakandel arrives.
Priest Rem also saw the worries and anxiety of the wealthy families.
He sighed and said: "Everyone, now that the city gate has been opened, you can escape first. I will watch over you."
Rem knew that with Kandel's temperament, if he waited for him to come, these rich people and their guards would never be able to escape.
After all, just the crime of attacking the soldiers defending the city would allow Kandel to kill them very reasonably.
"Priest Rem, how could we leave you and run away alone."
Although the rich families were moved when they heard this, they still hesitated considering the Rem sacrifice.
"I am the priest of Machile City. Kandel does not dare to do anything to me, but you are different."
"So now that Kandel has not come, you also have a raft, immediately follow the river out of the city, and then escape from here!"
Rem, however, immediately comforted everyone.
"Priest Rem, you are truly a kind priest!"
A group of wealthy people no longer hesitated, and felt that Kandel would not harm Priest Rem.
As a result, all the soldiers who were under control were tied up, and then they escaped from Machle City with their guards and their families.
Not long after these wealthy people escaped, Kandel finally received the news.
"What? How dare Kandel and those untouchables attack the soldiers guarding the city?"
Candel was furious.
Then he said loudly: "You guys come with me, and you must let those untouchables know the consequences of offending me today!"
Immediately, Kandel led hundreds of soldiers directly to the sky and headed towards the back of Machle City.
In less than five minutes, Kandel led his subordinates to the back of the city.
At this time, there was no such wealthy figure on the city wall. Only Rem Priest stood on the city wall and waited for him quietly.
"Priest Rem, what are you doing? Do you want to join the enemy?"
As soon as Kandel landed, he grabbed Rem's collar and asked.
Priest Rem said: "Commander Kandel, the door has been open for so long, but the enemy has not made any movement."
"So, I am not betraying the God of Fire, but I am trying to save the followers of the God of Fire."
"On the contrary, Kandel, why did you do everything possible to prevent the city gate from being opened to release the flood and allow the believers to evacuate safely?"
"Is there something unknown in your heart?"
Priest Rem's subsequent question actually didn't mean much.
But he wanted to use this method to force Kandel to acquiesce in releasing the flood, and then let the civilians evacuate.
It's just that Priest Rem never thought that there was something wrong in Kandel's heart.
Facing his question, Kandel seemed to sense a huge threat.
Immediately, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Priest Rem, I told you that those leaflets just now were all a trick by the enemy, don't you know?"
"How can there be any good people among these invaders, especially the God of Fire who died on their continent of Io?"
"It's not necessarily true that they are even more bloodthirsty and cruel than those legions of gods."
"You actually made excuses to join the enemy because of your greed for life and fear of death."
"Today, I, Kandel, am here to clear you up as a traitor to the God of Fire!"
Saying that, Kandel directly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Kander, how dare you..."
puff!
Priest Rem never dreamed that Kandel would actually dare to kill it.
You must know that if a priest of his level wanted to be executed in the past, he had to report to the God of Fire.
Even if the God of Fire dies now, it will still be decided by the priests of the Trial House in the Holy City and the high priest.
Now Kandel did not hesitate to kill him. In the past, he would have definitely been investigated.
However, now that the Flame God Continent is besieged on all sides, and Kandel has already surrendered to the enemy, he is naturally not afraid of any pursuit.
On the other hand, the soldiers and captains who were guarding the city were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Commander... Your Majesty, Commander..."
They are loyal to Kandel, but they are equally loyal to the God of Fire.
If they just kept Priest Rem under guard, they would not hesitate.
Because after all, you can see it and be responsible.
But if Kandel asked them to kill Rem Priest, they would never do it.
But now Kandel actually killed Priest Rem in front of them.
This is a bit offensive to the God of Fire.
Because existences like Rem Priest are like apostles of gods.
Although he is not an envoy of God, he is definitely in a higher position than soldiers and commanders like them.
"Close the city gate immediately to guard against enemy raids."
"In addition, Priest Rem betrayed the God of Fire and wanted to join the Io continent invaders. He deserves to die!"
Kandel did not explain much at all, but suppressed with the absolute authority of his command.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
All the soldiers and captains could do was suppress their thoughts and follow Kandel's instructions to close the door again.
After Kandel had done all this, he asked people to store the body of Rem's sacrifice in a tower not far away, in order to avoid being known to too many people in the city and causing unnecessary trouble.
If he hadn't been worried that throwing Rem's corpse outside the city might cause opposition from the soldiers and captains, he would have just thrown Rem's corpse into the flood outside the city.
After finishing everything, Kandel quickly rushed back to the main entrance of the city wall.
What Kandel didn't know was that even if he deliberately concealed it, he already had absolute authority in the city.
But when he killed Priest Rem in front of so many soldiers and captains, how could he keep this matter a secret.
Soon the matter began to ferment only a little later.
The first ones to start were some of the closest wealthy households who did not participate in opening the city gate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because they saw the city gate being opened from a distance before.
Later, I suddenly saw that the city gate was closed again, so I was curious and secretly asked the soldiers guarding the city.
These wealthy families are closely related to the soldiers, and some of these soldiers or captains are even their relatives.
In this way, the news of Priest Rem's death naturally cannot be concealed.
After these wealthy households found out, they felt that there was no hope of escape, and they became increasingly dissatisfied with Kandel.
So, they secretly asked people to spread the news that Rem was killed by Kandel.
Faced with the news of Kandel's death, these wealthy households remained calm.
Because they have a family and have never been poor in the past, they only have respect for Rem and have no other special emotions.
But ordinary civilians are different.
The kindness of Rem Priests in the past was deeply rooted in their hearts.
Many civilians even went to temples to pray for treatment because they had no money for medical treatment.
