Give Me the Name of God

More than a thousand people walked through the mountains for seven and a half days, and finally arrived near Crispy Rock Mountain.

The march was slower than expected. Although time was tight, Manda still had the patience to let the lion girl explore the location of the enemy camp first.

With Sanjila's lesson, Manda imposed strict restrictions on the lion girl. As soon as she found the location of the camp, she returned immediately and did not investigate the number and movements of the enemy troops.

The lion girl went there for half a day and discovered the enemy's camp on the halfway slope of the back mountain.

The enemy camp was much simpler than expected, with only a circle of fences and dozens of wooden houses, and no decent defensive facilities.

Manu was used to the simplest strategy, sneaking out directly from the hinterland of the enemy camp and catching the enemy by surprise.

Siegsel immediately rejected Manu's idea: "We can't be so reckless. Unless we kill the believer of the Earth Goddess immediately, we will be buried underground with a mud flow skill."

Manda asked in surprise: "What is the mud flow technique?"

"The goddess's fourth-level skill can summon flowing sludge, burying an area dozens of feet in radius. I have seen my teacher use the fourth-level skill. Although they all used sludge, it was far scarier than a swamp. ."

Being able to summon mudslides, Siegsel's description once again refreshed Manda's understanding of the original gods. A fourth-level believer seemed to have the power to crush thousands of troops.

According to this logic, the believers of Gaia should have conquered the world long ago, but this is not the case. The believers of the original god are almost extinct, and their situation is much worse than the believers of other ancient gods.

Perhaps there is a mysterious force that can limit the primitive gods, or perhaps this mysterious force is the weakness of the believers of the primitive gods.

"Ziegesei, what is your weakness?"

Siegsel pondered for a moment and said: "Time and distance, you should know that it takes a long time for me to use my skills, and the distance cannot be too close, otherwise it will affect my own people. What I am most worried about is that believers who are good at melee combat will rush up and fight I fought hard, and it was difficult for me to fight back in that situation, and I didn’t even have a chance to escape.”

Siegesei was afraid of close combat, and Manda knew this very well, so he chose Moira and Kesto, two melee experts, to assassinate the opponent's Gaia believers.

But the prerequisite for a successful assassination is to be surprised and have the upper hand. If the opponent is prepared and takes action in advance, the soldiers may have been wiped out before the assassin takes action.

Are these two the only weaknesses that believers in Gaia have? Does Zigese not know or is he unwilling to tell?

There is no time to think about this now. Tactics have been formulated in advance. Manda asked Siegsel to lead a sneak attack tonight.

Three hundred soldiers were ready, and Siegsel led his army to prepare to set off. A guard handed him the sword. Siegsel reached for it, but failed to hold it firmly, and the sword fell to the ground.

The soldier quickly picked up the sword. Zigese grabbed the sword and held it tightly in his hand. He looked at the soldier and then looked ahead.

Manu had already created the exit. Zigese took a deep breath and said: "Let's go."

His voice was so low that the soldiers didn't hear him clearly. The messenger was about to make a gesture to move forward, but was stopped by Manda.

"Come back, tonight's operation is cancelled."

Zigse was stunned, then quickly dismounted and said, "Sir, I'm just a little nervous."

Manda shook her head and remained silent. This was not nervousness, but timidity. Chigsel was timid.

He has always been a cautious person, but this kind of timidity has never happened before. Obviously, Gaia's believers make him very afraid, and he has no confidence to defeat his own kind on the battlefield.

Manda didn't want him to die in vain, nor would he let the soldiers follow him to die in vain. Someone else had to lead the troops.

Siegsel knows Gaia's believers best. If he doesn't dare to take action, who can lead the army on his behalf?

It seems that this is the key to the strategy. No matter who it is, encountering Gaia's believers will be in danger. The best option is to try not to confront Gaia's believers head-on.

But how can this be achieved?

Like Stanley, use the mobility of the cavalry and not give the opponent a chance to take action?

It may work on the plains, but this is mountainous terrain, and it is difficult for cavalry to be effective.

The troops are divided into multiple directions, and they are controlled back and forth?

It would be okay if we were on familiar terrain, but this was our first time fighting in Crispy Rock Mountain, and a slight mistake could lead to command confusion.

Manda held a stack of parchment and squatted in the corner of the cave to write and draw. After rejecting more than a dozen tactics, Manda remembered a detail: the opponent's camp was in the back mountain.

The so-called back mountain is relative to the canyon, that is to say, the opponent's camp is on the other side of the canyon.

"It's quite far, it's indeed quite far!" Manda smiled, called Chuitt, and asked: "If I let you go to the canyon again, are you sure you will come out alive?"

Chuitt said: "If you don't encounter the enemy, you will naturally come out alive."

"Nonsense, I mean when encountering enemies."

"If I'm alone, there should be no problem."

"How about some soldiers?"

Chuitt thought for a moment and said: "It depends on how many soldiers there are. If there are only thirty or fifty soldiers, it's okay. If there are more than a hundred, I'm afraid at least half of them will die."

"Thirty to fifty people should be enough," Manda turned to the lion girl and said, "Bring all the grain carriages here."

A thousand soldiers had prepared rations for more than 20 days, and there were more than 20 carriages transporting the grain. Manda pointed to the carriage and said to Zigese: "Get me some rocks."

"Stone?" Siegsel was stunned, "What kind of stone?"

"Any kind of stone will do. It can almost fill these carriages."

Siegsel didn't ask any further questions. Being timid was a very shameful thing, and the only compensation he could make was to unconditionally carry out Manda's orders.

Manda called Manu again and ordered: "Open a tunnel leading to the other side of the mountain."

"Where is the exit?"

"It's about ten miles away from the entrance of the valley."

Manu calculated his mana, nodded and said, "We can set off now."

Manda turned to look at Chuit and said: "The rest is all up to you. You must come back alive and I will give you a first-class meritorious service."

…

At dawn the next day, Davron had just woken up and was washing up when he suddenly heard a sentry report: "Sir, a team of carriages and horses is coming towards the valley."

Davron accidentally paid attention and asked casually: "Where do you come from?"

"Come from our place."

"What did you transport?"

"It should be ore."

"Transport ore from us to the southwest? How is this possible?" The south does not produce ore, and the southwest is full of ore. It is obviously illogical to transport ore from the south to the southwest.

"How many of them are there?"

"There were forty or fifty people and more than twenty carriages. One of them looked familiar. He seemed to have appeared with Krejci Monchik."

"A man from Monchik? He still dares to come! What does he want to do?"

Davron looked at the young man beside him and ordered: "We will set off immediately. This time we will teach them a lesson."

The young man asked: "Are you going to kill them?"

Davron hesitated for a moment and said: "If Monchik is here, let him live. If he is not here, kill them all."

Dear readers, I am very sorry that the release of the second chapter today will still be postponed until nine o'clock. Sala has been a little busy at work recently and is exhausted after staying up until late at night. Thank you for your understanding and support.
