"I have met the High Priest!"
Soon, several Acropolis commanders were brought in.
Several people first glanced at the city guard commander, and then saluted the high priest of the flames.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, captains! Come on, give some seats to the captains!" The Flame High Priest's face now had the twisted and cruel look on his face, which had been completely replaced by a smile.
However, if it were before, perhaps the leaders of the Acropolis would still think that the Flame High Priest's attitude was that of a corporal.
But after knowing the true face of the Flame High Priest, all the Acropolis commanders increased their vigilance.
Waiting for the attendants to bring chairs, several Acropolis commanders also sat down.
After that, only the city guard commander stood alone in the hall.
"Captains, I heard that in addition to the rear of our Flame Holy City, the front wall also encountered fierce attacks from the enemy?"
"Fortunately, several captains resisted with all their strength, so the enemy's conspiracy was not succeeded?"
After waiting for several people to sit down, the Flame High Priest struck first.
He knew that several Acropolis commanders came to the temple without his summons, and they must be preparing to report the matter.
In this way, by letting him speak, he was ready to set a good pace and block the mouths of several Acropolis commanders.
"Yes, Your Majesty the High Priest, we are here to report this matter to you!"
Several Acropolis commanders looked at each other, and finally Nanook City commander was responsible for speaking.
"Oh? What are you reporting?" the Flame High Priest asked, pretending to be confused.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, there shouldn't have been such a fierce battle on the city wall in front of us today. This was all caused by the departure of the city guards."
"Previously, in order to support the rear city wall, the commander of the city guard transferred 30,000 city guards who were on duty, and told us that other city guards would soon come to replace them."
"However, after an hour or two, the city guard was nowhere to be seen. When the enemy saw that the city wall in front of us was so empty, they launched a fierce attack."
"And this enemy's fierce attack caused half of the casualties on our front wall, which is nearly 20,000 people."
"We want to ask the commander of the city guard why their city guard didn't come to support our front city wall."
"No matter how urgent the battle on the rear city wall is, there are still millions of city guards in the city. Is it really so urgent that even one of the millions of city guards cannot send one person to support the front city wall?"
The commander of Nuk City continued to speak, and this time he finally pointed the finger at the commander of the city guards.
"There is such a thing, Commander of the City Guards, tell me what happened?" The Flame High Priest looked surprised when he heard this, and then asked the Commander of the City Guards in a deep voice.
The commander of the city guard bowed and replied: "Your Excellency, the high priest, it is all the mistakes of your subordinates."
"Because the battle in the rear is urgent and it takes time for other city guards to assemble, my subordinates simply dispatch reinforcements directly from the front city wall."
"Originally, my subordinate's plan was to transfer the reinforcements from the front city wall and then let the other city guards take turns."
"The time will be at most half an hour, or even less than half an hour, so it will not pose any threat to the defense of the front city wall."
"I didn't expect that my subordinates' orders were issued like this, but the messenger sent the wrong message, saying that they were sending the rotating soldiers to the rear city wall."
"This caused my subordinates to send out rotating teams, but they rushed to the rear city wall."
"Then, due to the fierce fighting on the city wall behind, my subordinates were not aware of the situation for a while."
"It was not until the battle on the rear city wall was almost over that my subordinates realized the mistake, and then they asked the city guards to send men to the front city wall again as quickly as possible."
"Captains, it is indeed my fault this time. I have already dealt with the military order of the messenger. I am deeply saddened by the damage caused to the front city wall. I am willing to apologize to the high priest."
The city guard commander burst into tears while explaining his reasons.
His expression when he spoke seemed extremely sincere. If he hadn't known what was going on, perhaps all the Acropolis commanders would have been deceived by him.
The Flame High Priest also showed off his acting skills at this time.
"There is such a thing. Why would such a mistake be made? Do you know that this small mistake by your city guards directly affected the safety of our Holy City of Flame?"
"You city guards should indeed bear this responsibility, and the punishment is also necessary." The Flame High Priest spoke in a stern tone of condemnation.
Of course, this was only the first half. After a pause, the Flame High Priest continued: "However..., now that the enemy is facing us, the Holy City still needs generals like you who know how to command battles to guard it."
"Commander of the City Guards, I will temporarily note this punishment. You'd better strive to have a significant performance in the next battle, so as to reduce your guilt."
"Otherwise, if you don't perform well and atone for your sins, then when the war is over, I will remove you from the position of commander under the witness of the God of Fire. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Your Excellency the High Priest, I will definitely surround the Holy City with all my strength and drive the enemies out of our Flame Continent!"
The Flame High Priest and the city guard commander sang together and quietly revealed the matter.
What they didn't know was that the more they behaved like this, the more the Acropolis Commander's heart became cold.
"Captains, you have also seen that the commander of the city guard also admitted his mistake, and I will remember this guilt for the time being. After the battle is over, I will definitely find him to settle the matter!" The high priest immediately looked at the guards.
City leader.
At this time, the commander of Nuk City said: "Your Majesty the High Priest, I'm afraid the culpability of the commander of the city guard goes beyond that. During this process, we have sent two waves of messengers to ask for support."
"But later, not only did we not receive support, even the messengers disappeared."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We would like to ask the commander of the city guard, where have our messengers gone?"
"Commander? What messenger? I don't know about this!" The commander of the city guard heard this and immediately shook his head in denial.
However, he knew that this excuse might not be able to convince several Acropolis commanders, so he continued: "However, there are many Ice Legion spies in the city today. Could it be that they were intercepted by these spies?"
"Captains, I will investigate this matter thoroughly when I go back later, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer in the next two days!"
The flame high priest above was afraid that the several city guard commanders would continue to entangle, so he immediately said: "City Guard Commander, you really need to investigate this matter clearly, and I will also see the results of your investigation when the time comes!"
"Okay, let's stop here for now. Next, let's talk about the rewards for the captains."
"This time, several captains fought bravely and withstood the fierce attack of the Wave Legion."
"In this case, captains, I have decided to let you take a good rest for a week. After all, you have been fighting for the past few months, and tonight is a bloody battle."
The Flame High Priest smiled and spoke to several Acropolis commanders.
That look was extremely sincere, as if he really sympathized with the hard work of the Acropolis commanders.
Of course, in order to get the Acropolis captains to agree to this 'good rest' reward.
The Flame High Priest added: "After the break, I decided to let you assume the leadership position again. Tonight's battle is enough to prove your loyalty to the God of Fire."
After saying that, the Flame High Priest waited for several Acropolis commanders to take orders.
This seems to be the reuse of several Acropolis commanders, but in fact it is the real killing move of the Flame High Priest.
A week's rest time shows that these Acropolis commanders need to temporarily put down their military power.
Once they relinquished their military power, the several Acropolis commanders no longer had any threat.
During this period, it would be easy for the high priest to deal with them however he wanted.
Of course, after several Acropolis commanders knew that it was the Flame High Priest who plotted against them, they naturally understood this.
The estrangement towards this high priest of fire became deeper and deeper.
They did not expect that even at this time, the Flame High Priest would still refuse to let them go.
At that moment, Commander Nuck said: "Your Majesty the High Priest, it is our responsibility to guard the Holy City."
"Now that the legions of gods have not retreated, we dare not slack off."
"So there is no need to rest. If the High Priest can directly resume our leadership duties, we can better serve the God of Fire!"
It has to be said that the Flame High Priest never expected that the Acropolis Commander would reject his arrangement.
She just refused his arrangement, and even shamelessly accepted only the second half of the reward.
The second half of the reward was originally just bait thrown by him, just to confuse a few people and make them accept the vacation with peace of mind.
And if they refused to rest, it would be impossible for the Flame High Priest to really let them resume their duties as leaders.
At that moment, the Flame High Priest immediately frowned: "Captains, your vacation is my reward for you. Does your refusal mean that you are disobeying my arrangements as the High Priest?"
"Your Majesty the High Priest, my subordinates don't dare. They really feel that the war is still going on and it is not easy to rest alone."
"In this case, please don't worry about us, Your Excellency the High Priest. Even if you die on the city wall, it will be our glory!"
The leader of Nuck City immediately responded with a low eyebrow.
Although their attitude was low-brow and submissive, the firmness in their words had already shown that they did not obey the arrangements of the High Priest of Fire.
