"Lord God, what should we do now? Those envoys from the inner realm seem to be following us!"
The leader of the war legion asked with some worry.
The God of War thought for a moment and shook his head, "They can follow them if they like. The God of Justice will never take action, and the same goes for other divine envoys."
Immediately, the God of War ordered the legion to continue advancing and must intercept Nalant's army as quickly as possible to avoid any accidents.
After about half a day, Nalant's army stopped.
"Sir, the War Legion has appeared in front of us and has blocked the only way out. The strength of the War Legion has reached 1.8 million."
It turned out that Shirley's Swift Eagle had already detected the war legion on the way.
I have to say that these divine legions really put a lot of thought into this time.
They have already considered the roads near Bekel City, which has blocked all Nalant's retreat routes.
Upon hearing this, the faces of all the guards' commanders couldn't help but change.
It's not that they are afraid of the death they are about to face, but that after their army fails, no one will be able to compete with these legions of gods.
Then the dawn that their Flame Continent finally saw will be extinguished.
At this time, the commander of Nuk City suddenly spoke, "Lord Nalant, you have the Swift Eagle Squadron. Why don't you take the Swift Eagle Squadron and evacuate to the Holy City immediately? Leave this place to us!"
"For the Flame Continent, even if we sacrifice ourselves, it will be glorious, and we can go to meet the God of Flame!"
"However, our Flame Continent cannot lack Lord Nalant. As long as Lord Nalant is here, we will still have hope of regaining the continent in the future!"
"Yes, the leader of Nuk City is right. Lord Nalant, please evacuate first, and we, the Flame Legion, will try to see if we can break out the Lightning Legion and escort them away!"
"As long as you are here, we in the Flame Continent will still have hope!"
Hearing this, several other Acropolis commanders also obviously agreed with the words of the Nuk City commander.
But in the face of their persuasion, Nalant smiled slightly and said, "You guys underestimate me, Nalant. I, Nalant, am not someone who runs away from battle."
"Besides, the war hasn't started yet, and it's not like we really have no chance, so please stop saying these depressing words!"
After saying that, Nalant looked at Shirley and said, "Shirley, I asked you a few days ago to pay attention to the surrounding areas that can be defended. Do you have a suitable location?"
Shirley nodded immediately after hearing this, "Sir, there are a total of two suitable defensive terrains near us."
"One of them is surrounded by water on three sides, so the enemy cannot attack us from all sides at the same time."
"In addition, there is a hilly terrain. The hilly area is very large and can fully accommodate our station. It is also surrounded by cliffs with a height of fifty or sixty meters. In this way, the enemy can only attack directly in one area.
Come to us!"
"But sir, because of the steep cliffs on this hill, although the enemy cannot attack us, it will be extremely difficult for the army to retreat when the time comes!"
After following Nalant for so long, Shirley has a rough understanding of the impact of topography on war.
In their current situation, the best way is to choose terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so that the enemy's strength advantage cannot be used for defense.
However, since these legions of gods have chosen the vicinity of Bekel City as the battlefield to encircle and annihilate Nalant, in addition to ensuring that Nalant will not be able to escape easily, it is also because there is no ideal defensive area nearby.
In this way, after searching for so long, Shirley finally picked out two terrains with slight advantages.
The first terrain is surrounded by water on three sides and protected by rivers, which can prevent the enemy from attacking them as much as possible.
After all, even if the Divine Legion chooses to send people to attack in the area surrounded by water, it will definitely not be as easy as attacking on flat ground, and it will be much easier for Nalant to defend.
The second hilly terrain is a better location for defense. Steep mountain walls can block enemy attacks better than rivers, and even better than city walls.
Of course, the hilly terrain is good, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, once the defense fails, they will have nowhere to run even if they want to.
After all, if you are backed by a river, if you really can't defend it, you can still rely on swimming or making a simple raft to escape.
But there is a risk for the Sky Knights to jump off the cliffs that are hundreds of meters high, and not all of the Flame Legion are Sky Knights.
Even then, the enemies only need to wait and see below, and each one of them will become a living target in the air, making them easier to kill.
Nalant thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's go to the mound!"
"Even if Hehe still has a chance to escape by then, how many people can actually escape when faced with the siege of the gods' army?"
"It's better to put ourselves to death and survive. Let everyone have the courage to die and let these gods' legions take a good look. If they want to take us down, they must have good teeth, otherwise they will look for their broken faces.
ah!"
"That's right, let these legions of gods take a look. Our flame legion is not that easy to deal with. We will knock out all of their teeth!"
"We all listen to Lord Narant!"
All the Acropolis commanders admired Nalant for his refusal to evacuate.
Now that I heard Nalant's words with determination to die, I was even more excited.
At that moment, everyone was clenching their fists and blushing, eager to fight to the death with the legions of gods right away.
"Then let's go!"
Nalant nodded with a smile, and then began to turn around with his army.
And as Nalant left the avenue and headed towards the side path, it didn't take long for the Divine Legion to discover the problem.
At this time, the Storm Legion, Ice Legion and Wave Legion happened to meet at one place.
"That kid has deviated from the main road and headed towards the path on the right."
"It seems that this boy has discovered the traces of the War Legion."
"That should be the case, but this kid can't run away. There is also a dead end on the right side. If you want to escape, you still need to meet the War Legion. Their ultimate goal may be here."
"There are several hills here, but other than that there are only a few small towns, not even a city!"
Several gods took a simple map and looked at it.
This map was drawn some time ago, and it marked several rivers, villages, hills and other patterns.
Although it is said to be a map, it is not much different from graffiti, but it can still be used to determine the next destination of Nalant and others.
"Haha, this damn kid can't run away this time. Let's send a message to the War Legion now and ask them to go to the front of the trail and block that kid."
"good!"
All the gods had rare smiles on their faces at this time.
Because Nalant is really stuck this time.
Soon, the War Legion also received the message, entered the trail and began to surround Nalant.
Naturally, Nalant didn't want to break out from the war legion because there was simply not enough time.
Once they are dragged by the War Legion for several hours, waiting for the other legions of gods in the rear to catch up, then the enemy will swarm forward, and the Flame Legion will not be able to stop them no matter what.
In this way, their destination is the previously selected hill.
On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at the hill.
Although this hill does not have a barrier that only one person can pass, it does have a steep slope with a drop of more than 100 meters, and because there are steep cliffs in the rear and on the left and right sides, it can also limit the enemy's attack route.
After the army arrived, Narant immediately ordered the army to start urgently deploying defense lines.
A large trench was dug on the side of the hillside, and trees were cut down to build walls and barbs to prevent the enemy's cavalry from charging.
After a busy night, the simple fortifications are almost completed.
Nalant then asked the Goblin team to bury all the remaining magic energy of Glory's Wrath on the hillside. This was the final preparation.
At this time, a group of gods' legions finally arrived belatedly under the triangle.
When these legions of gods looked at the fortifications Nalant had built on the hill, instead of being worried, they were even happier.
Because only when it reaches this point can it be proved that Narant is really at the end of his rope.
Otherwise, with Nalant's cunningness, he would not choose to challenge their divine army in such a place with no escape route if there was any possibility of escape.
To be on the safe side, the Divine Legion did not launch an attack immediately.
Also began to lay out fortifications at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, the fortifications they deployed were for Nalant's escape.
In this way, in addition to the front, there are also a large number of sentries on the left, right and rear of Nalant and the others. The Divine Legion has also deployed a large number of sentries and dispatched many long archers.
At that time, even if there are sky knights who want to escape with their flying ability, they will end up being shot into hedgehogs.
To be continued...
