Several Acropolis commanders sneered.
Although they will not take the initiative to break up with each other, because of what happened tonight, they will have a fierce battle with the Flame High Priest and the commander of the city guard.
But everyone has finally figured it out, and they are no longer ready to shrink back.
Instead of being suppressed by the Flame High Priest, they would be unable to defend the Flame Holy City with peace of mind.
It would be better to rely on the Acropolis soldiers brought by himself and others to act freely.
Only in this way can we better guard the Holy City of Flame and serve the God of Fire.
Facing the rebuttal of the Acropolis Commander, the face of the City Guard Commander changed several times, but in the end he could not continue speaking.
Now that these Acropolis commanders are guarded by soldiers, there is no way to deal with them in this temple.
At this time, the Flame High Priest above came to his senses and immediately put away the murderous intent in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Do you still have me as the high priest in your eyes, especially the commander of the city guard?"
"When will it be your turn to give orders in this temple? Everyone should retreat!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!" With such a good step, the city guard commander naturally followed the downhill slope.
And when the city guard commander called his subordinates to retreat, the Flame High Priest said with a smile: "Guard captains, call your subordinates to retreat too!"
"If the enemy knows about it and thinks there is internal strife in our Holy City, how will our Holy City be able to defend it then?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, but Your Excellency the High Priest, we will not fight within the Holy City."
"Because we are loyal to the God of Fire. As long as no one deliberately tries to kill us, we will defend the Holy City to the death."
Several Acropolis commanders did not continue to contradict, but they stated their current principles.
And their principle naturally made the already selfish and controlling Flame High Priest even more resentful.
It's just that at this moment, the Flame High Priest obviously has no way to deal with them.
"Don't worry, I will tell the commander of the city guard that they will not make any mistakes in the future!"
The high priest promised to speak.
"Okay, captains, since you don't want to rest, then continue to be on duty!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
Then, several Acropolis commanders retreated.
boom!
When the Acropolis leader exited the temple, the sound of smashing items was immediately heard in the temple.
"These damn guys, how dare they do this, how dare they do this!"
The Flame High Priest threw away all the exquisite porcelain cups and fruit plates on the table beside him, and then roars came from his mouth.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, I think these people are already rebellious. If we don't deal with them, I'm afraid the Holy City will fall because of them!" The commander of the city guard was also very angry, and immediately added fuel to the fire.
"Sooner or later I will deal with these guys, but now that they are on their guard, it is not easy to force them."
"You city guards should not take any action for the time being. Everything is focused on the Holy City."
Fortunately, although the high priest is selfish, he is also more afraid of death, so he does not dare to do anything immediately.
Next, the Holy City of Flame continued to be besieged by four legions of gods.
Under the siege of these legions of gods, the strength and supplies of the Holy City of Flame were constantly being consumed.
As for the legions of gods, they are not afraid of consumption at all. They use the materials of the entire continent to deal with a city, and they can definitely last longer than the high priest of fire.
As for Nalant, since he rescued several Acropolis commanders in the last raid, he has not taken any action, but built a strong camp ten miles away from the Holy City.
Because ever since he learned about the refutation of the High Priest of Fire by the Acropolis leaders that day, he knew that the seeds he had planted were completely successful.
Compared to other legions of gods attacking and seizing the city, this time he was 100% sure that he only needed to wait for the seeds to grow, and then the Flame Holy City would be his.
"Looking at this situation, it should be time to harvest!"
Through the news about the Flame Holy City that Nalant had obtained these days, he felt that the Flame Holy City would soon belong to him.
If not for anything else, it’s because the Flame Holy City is about to reach a desperate situation.
As for the Flame Holy City that has reached a desperate situation, there will be many variables.
At this moment, the morale in the Flame Holy City is low, and more importantly, the food reserves have bottomed out.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, we only have enough food for a month at most!"
In the Temple of the God of Fire, the civil affairs officer looked pale and reported the situation to the High Priest of Fire.
"Didn't I ask you to reduce the food supply?" The Flame High Priest looked livid.
Under the tenacious defense of numerous soldiers, the Holy City of Flame was not breached.
Unexpectedly, the food crisis may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, the supply has been reduced to the point where it can no longer be reduced."
"Now, except for the soldiers guarding the city, all civilians in the city are only provided with one meal of black bread every day."
"But even this meal of black bread can only help the common people's stomach. The common people have no strength to move now."
The civil affairs officer immediately explained.
"Is there any other way?" the Flame High Priest asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, there is no other way. The civilians' rations cannot be reduced any more. If they are further reduced, the civilians will inevitably starve to death."
"As for the rest...there are only food rations for the soldiers guarding the city."
"Now the rations for the soldiers on the Acropolis are two meals of black bread a day, and one meal of meat a week."
"And the city guard's ration is two meals of black bread and one meal of white bread per day, plus one meal of meat per day."
Although the civil affairs officer told the rations of the soldiers defending the city, he naturally did not dare to suggest that the rations be deducted from the soldiers.
If the soldiers don't have enough to eat, who will defend the city?
"Well, can't this be reduced? Let's reduce the rations of the soldiers in the Acropolis again, change the daily black bread to one meal, and reduce the meat!"
But the Flame High Priest has no scruples about this, especially the Acropolis soldiers.
Today's Acropolis soldiers have become increasingly dishonest since the last incident.
For example, they secretly scolded him, the high priest, for being partial and only looking out for the good of the city guards but not caring about the life and death of the city guards.
Also, he originally arranged for the Acropolis soldiers to be responsible for most of the night duty in the Holy City.
But later, the Acropolis commanders wrote reports at the same time, saying that the Acropolis soldiers had great objections to this.
I also want to have enough time to rest, if I don’t adjust and improve the guard status of the soldiers on the Acropolis for a long time.
As time goes by, I'm afraid some Acropolis soldiers will be unconvinced, and they might unite to protest.
To the Flame High Priest, this is a naked threat.
These guys eat the food provided by the Holy City, and the God of Fire gave them the opportunity to become guards in the past.
Now he dares to say any words of protest because he is suffering and tired. This is simply taking advantage of the crisis of the Holy City to add insult to injury.
Of course, in the end, the Flame High Priest had to give in and let these Acropolis soldiers rotate with the City Guards on night duty.
Although the city guards were responsible for one night's duty and the city guards were responsible for two nights' duty, this greatly affected their authority.
In addition, even after the compromise was made on their side, the Acropolis commanders were still worried.
I wanted to separate the several Acropolis commanders on duty, but they refused on the grounds that they were familiar with the other Acropolis commanders and could better cooperate in the battle.
In this way, in his opinion, the current soldiers and commanders of the Acropolis have become absolute thorns, the kind that can be quickly removed.
If it weren't for the enemy, he would have asked the city guards to arrest these city commanders and deal with them severely, letting them know the consequences of disobeying him as the high priest.
Of course, now may be a good opportunity.
The current Acropolis soldiers still have some fighting ability, but if they are starved, these Acropolis soldiers may be destroyed.
"Your Excellency, High Priest, isn't this good? If they only eat one meal, these Acropolis soldiers may not even have the strength to fight..." The Civil Affairs Officer was startled and immediately reminded the Flame High Priest.
Of course, when he saw the face of the Flame High Priest, he was afraid that the Flame High Priest would misunderstand that he was speaking for the Acropolis soldiers.
To be continued...
