Give Me the Name of God

Manda squatted on the grass next to the official road, thinking over the tactics in his mind.

It would be perfect if there were no more than a hundred God's Punishment Army members who escaped. Kill as many of them as possible and then go back to receive the credit.

If there are no more than five hundred people, we must fight seriously and kill as many as we can.

If the enemy has more than 500 people but less than 1,000 people, then it can only be a symbolic battle. Although you can take advantage of the ambush, it is the enemy's last stand and it is hard to say whether you will win or lose.

If the opponent's strength exceeds a thousand, Manda decides to stand still and let them go, pretending that he has not seen anything. The general of the Golden Lion Guard was trembling all the time. Seeing that this coward didn't look like he wanted to fight, it would be enough to have a tacit understanding afterwards and give the king a reasonable explanation.

From midnight until dawn, Manda was frozen, and there was no one on the road.

From dawn to noon, under the warm sunshine, the frozen Manda was warmed up, but he still didn't see half of the God's Punishment Army.

It was not until the afternoon that news came from the royal capital. The battle was over. Archbishop Howitt was dead. A part of the God's Punishment Army broke out from the north of the city, and the rest were wiped out.

According to eyewitnesses, Howett died with dignity and without leaving the king a chance to insult his body.

The battle for the royal capital has come to an end, as for the king's oath...

The king ordered that day to arrest all the God's Punishment believers and send them to the north of the city. Longgesen was worried that the King would release them. After all, he had sworn to his god in public that he would not harm innocent God's Punishers.

But the king offered them as sacrifices to Zeus, and gave a reasonable explanation: "No one is innocent. People are born with original sin. This is not what I said. This is the teaching of the Church of Divine Punishment. .”

Tens of thousands of God's Punishers died on the altar, and hundreds of priests were busy for several days, each of them changing dozens of knives.

For several days, the sky over the king's capital was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Manda was really worried about the king. He didn't know whether this move was approved by Zeus, or whether the reward or punishment waiting for the king was.

The king cannot make any mistakes. Manda is still waiting for the king's order. Stanley has captured three small towns in succession. It is almost time for Manda to go back to "suppress the bandits".

But the king disappeared for nearly a month, and no one knew what he did during this month. When Manda was summoned to the palace, he discovered that there had been some changes in the king.

The king was originally a third-level believer of Zeus, but this time, judging by the value of the divine blood stone, the king had risen to the fourth level.

He was rewarded by Zeus, which meant that his sacrifice was approved by Zeus.

The king who was successfully promoted was in good spirits. While ordering the continued arrest of the God Punisher, he finally remembered what happened in the southwest.

"Roman Wilkins has occupied two more towns. Count Monchik, your former ally is really powerful."

Manda didn't dare to say anything. The king looked at Longgesen and said, "What is El Meng doing? Just watching like this?"

Just as Longerson was about to speak, the Minister of State suddenly interrupted: "Your Majesty, Marquis Hermon wants to withdraw his troops."

"Really?" the king sneered, "Don't even bother to look? Has he become so arrogant?"

The Minister of State said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Almen has just sent news that the Blue Wolf Kingdom has sent an army to wander near Blackwater City."

The king was stunned: "They want to start a war? Why? We have not had any conflict with the Canglang Kingdom for many years."

"I guess the Blue Wolf Kingdom has received the news that we are fighting the God Punisher. They think this war will not end easily, and they may want to take advantage of it."

The king frowned. The minister's guess was reasonable. This war will indeed not end easily. There are still a large number of God's Punishers in the country, and the Pope may send troops at any time. If Canglang Kingdom gets involved again, the situation of the entire kingdom will be in danger.

"The internal troubles have not yet subsided, and we must not add more external troubles. Let Al go back fiercely. This time it is related to the safety of the kingdom and the survival of his territory. Ask him to prepare for war with all his strength. When necessary, the kingdom will give him support. "

Manda's face was expressionless, but the joy in his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Al Meng gave him a perfect assist.

The Minister of State reminded: "Your Majesty, the southwest needs stability."

Another assist, Manda was really curious as to why the Minister of State was so friendly to him.

The king nodded and said: "As you said before, whoever makes the mistake will bear the responsibility. Count Monchik, no matter what happened in the past, it all started because of you. You will return to the southwest immediately and destroy Roman Will. Kings’ Rebels.”

Manda stood up and said solemnly: "I am willing to fight for your glory."

"Don't be so impatient. I haven't finished speaking. I have already issued an order to eliminate all the God's Punishers in the kingdom. Not only Roman Wilkins, but all the God's Punishers around your territory must disappear. If Bucken is really near Grayfish, and I must see his head. This is a mission you must complete."

Manda bowed deeply and said, "I will do my best."

"There is no best effort. As long as you are alive, you cannot let him leave alive. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Manda responded loudly. He clenched his fists and tried his best to control his inner excitement. After staying in the capital for a whole year, he was finally going home.

After leaving the palace, Manda immediately packed her bags. In the afternoon, Stanton made a special trip to the door and wanted to hold a farewell party for Manda. Manda declined. He wanted to leave the royal capital immediately. If he delayed for a moment longer, the king might regret it.

Just after Stanton left, Longerson sent someone again. This time Manda did not dare to refuse. As one of the three giants in the royal capital, Longerson still had the ability to change the king's mind.

"I don't know why you are eager to return to Qixing Mountain. You became an earl before you were twenty years old. The favor you received even makes me envious. The king needs you, and the capital also needs you. I hope you make a careful decision."

"Your Majesty's decision is my decision, and it is my bounden duty to eliminate the rebels in the southwest."

The two chatted for a long time, but Longgesen still had no habit of inviting people to dinner. Late at night, the hungry Manda returned to the official residence, only to find that the Minister of State had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

"Sir, I'm very sorry. I have been at the general's residence. I really didn't expect you to come here..."

"It's okay, it's just a short wait," the Minister of State picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and said with a smile, "It's really delicious. The taste is really hard to part with."

"I still have a lot more in my wine cellar, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind it. Give me all the wine in the cellar, and your wives. Don't get me wrong. This is His Majesty's order. He asked you to leave your family behind and let me take care of it for the time being. He hopes that you will soon Go and come back early.”

What a risk, what a risk, thanks to Manda being prepared for it.

Manda first put on a surprised expression, then lowered her head sadly, and whispered: "I hope you can treat them well."

"Don't be so upset," said the Minister of State, "That's not really your family, is it?"

Manda was startled and stood up hurriedly: "Sir, I have never cheated..."

"Don't be nervous, sit down first, trust me, I come with good intentions."

Manda sat back on the chair again, sweat falling down her cheeks.

He seriously underestimated the Minister of State. He was not a psychopath with chaotic thinking. His IQ far exceeded Manda's imagination.

"Actually, I admire you very much. You are a smart person. Your intelligence never makes people feel disgusted. Just like your natal god, Hermes is so smart, but not as aggressive as Athena. Look at you. Your physique should be promoted to the fifth level soon, right?"

Manda swallowed his saliva. The other party knew his strength well. If he really took action, he might not have any chance of winning.

You might be able to deal with him for a while if you summon the clone, but you have no chance to put clothes on the clone and hang up the mirror.

Pray, pray to Hermes, pray that he really means no harm.

As his thoughts were whirling, he suddenly saw the Minister of State taking out a wooden box from his arms: "Now that you are gone, I don't know when we will see each other again. I have a gift I want to give you."

The Minister of State opened the wooden box, and inside was a stone statue of Hermes, which was more than a foot tall. The back of the stone statue was densely engraved with text.
