Give Me the Name of God

After a day of fierce fighting, Rungersen led the soldiers to temporarily repel Bucken's army.

This battle was very brutal. More than a thousand of the Golden Lion Guards stationed at the top of the city were killed, nearly two thousand newly recruited soldiers were killed, the city gate was severely damaged, and six catapults were destroyed.

A difficult victory cost Longson a heavy price, but Bucken's losses were even heavier. More than 10,000 people were killed in the God's Punishment Army, and almost all of their siege weapons were destroyed. Although they still did not retreat, in the short term No more attacks can be launched on the royal capital.

The Minister of State was very satisfied with the outcome of the battle: "The enemy suffered heavy losses. We don't need to hold on for two months. We can drive the enemy away in one month at most!"

Longerson was also full of confidence. After experiencing this baptism of life and death, the immature warriors turned into real soldiers. They no longer expected to chop off Bucken's head, but they firmly believed that they would achieve the final victory.

But one person didn't think so.

The king said some words of encouragement, rode back to the palace in his carriage, drank a whole jar of wine, and lay down on the bed trying to sleep.

But he couldn't sleep, maybe because he slept too much during the day, so he called the queen and two maids. One night, exhausted, his body seemed to have been stripped of everything except one thing. , that is fear.

If you close your eyes, you can see the flying corpses. In a quieter place, you can hear Howitt's name. The figure of a guard is somewhat similar to Howitt. In confusion, the king suddenly pulled out his long sword. He slashed the guard to death with his sword and stumbled out of the palace.

He got on the carriage, came to the north of the city, and walked into the temple.

He sat in front of the high priest Franes and remained silent for a long time, weeping.

"I'm scared, really scared!" The king burst into tears.

The high priest stroked the king's head and said solemnly: "Have you prayed to the Lord of the Gods?"

"I pray all the time."

"You need the power of the Lord of the Gods. The blood under the city wall is a gift to the Lord of the Gods first, and the Lord of the Gods will reward you."

The king raised his head, looked at the high priest expectantly, and asked, "Can I become stronger?"

The high priest nodded and took out a sacred blood stone: "Eat it. This is the will of the Lord of the Gods. You will become extremely powerful and you will destroy all enemies."

The king picked up the sacred blood stone and swallowed it without hesitation. Amidst the prayers of the high priest, his pupils began to slowly dilate.

"Praise the Lord of the Gods, praise the great Lord of the Gods..." In the murmur, the king fell into a deep sleep.

…

In the military tent, Bucken silently listened to the complaints of the officers.

"The walls of the royal capital are too strong. Our siege engines are useless. We should let the craftsmen build a battle tower!"

"The battle tower is too slow. It will be destroyed by a catapult before it reaches the bottom of the city!"

"We almost broke through the city gate. Let the craftsmen build a few more siege engines. As long as we break through the city gate, we will definitely win!"

"The catapults and war towers are useless, why don't we attack the west gate? Archbishop, didn't you leave an internal agent there?"

There are indeed some internal agents in the west of the city, but the Minister of State's security is too tight, and they have no chance to take action.

After saying a few words of encouragement, the food distribution was still to be done. The Minister of State calculated very accurately that Bucken had less than two million pounds of food in hand, which could last for at most twenty days.

Senior Deacon Amado came to Buckon and saluted: "Sir, do we want to tell Larn Pigu about the situation of the war?"

"Of course we have to tell him," Bucken ordered someone to get some paper and pen. "Tell him that we have won a great victory, that the capital has been captured by us, and that the king is trapped in the palace by us."

…

Stanley was stationed under Blackwater City for more than ten days and fought several battles with the werewolves, mostly with small victories.

In a battle during the day, Almen sent cavalry to sneak attack the enemy camp, and Stanley caught up later. The two teams of cavalry took advantage of the enemy camp, and the enemy failed to organize an effective counterattack from beginning to end.

If Aiermeng had sent troops to follow up in time, he should have won a big victory today, which would not only destroy the enemy's camp, but also burn the enemy's food.

But at the critical moment, Al Meng's cavalry retreated, and Stanley could only retreat with him.

"What a good opportunity to fight, I just missed it!" Stanley sighed, "This is why I am willing to follow Gassack. With him, I can concentrate on fighting without wasting my mind on each other's doubts and suspicions!"

Lurian gently stroked the fat knight's cheek and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't survive long if you follow Gaisak. Even he can't figure out an old fox like Elmen."

"I really don't understand, why are we plotting against each other? If Almen doesn't want to fight, why did he ask us to come here?"

Lu Li'an said: "You know the truth. He wants to fight, but he doesn't want to lose his own soldiers."

"Do you think I'm a fool? Will I let him fool me? I'm really tired of this boring war. This is simply an insult to a general!"

Stanley pushed Lulian away, put on his clothes, and walked outside the tent. He wanted to take advantage of the night breeze to wake up. When he reached the edge of the camp, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Are you tired?"

It's Manda, he's awake!

Turning around following the sound, Stanley didn't see Manda's figure. After searching for a long time, he heard Manda say again: "Are you feeling bitter?"

"I'm miserable!" Stanley determined the direction of the voice and walked towards a pile of weeds.

"Do you feel insulted?"

"A little bit."

"It doesn't feel good to be ridden on your crotch."

"Well, that's going too far. I wasn't humiliated that badly...are you talking to me?"

Stanley walked to the grass. He saw Manda, but was stunned.

He found that Manda seemed not to be talking to him, but to his big white horse.

"Being ridden is not a humiliation. This is your fate. Don't you feel proud to go to the battlefield with me?"

The big white horse lowered his head, as if listening to Manda's words, and listened very seriously.

Stanley said in shock: "Are you really awake?"

Manda raised her head, looked at Stanley, turned to the big white horse and said, "Kiss him!"

The big white horse snorted and came to Stanley with trembling lips.

Stanley avoided the big white horse, looked at Manda and smiled: "Can you talk to the horse?"

Manda suddenly stood up, remained silent for a moment, and then ran away. Stanley quickly chased after her.

"Stop, where are you going!"

"Yeah! Hahahaha!" Manda raised her hands in the air and shouted as she ran, "You can't catch up with me!"

Stanley really couldn't catch up. After being promoted to the fifth level, Manda's speed increased again. No creature walking on the ground could catch up with him. Even the lion girl flying in the sky couldn't catch up with him.

Manda ran from the east to the west of the camp, and then from the west to the east. The whole camp was thrown into chaos.

"Mirro, have you caught him?"

"No, he's over there, hurry up!"

"He ran away again, stop him quickly!"

"Guatel, where's your trap!"

"Quick, quick! He fell into the pit!"

"Hold him down, hold him down? Tie him up!"

It took the whole camp people half a night to finally subdue Manda. After being tied up, Manda returned to his previous state, with a dull expression and no words.

Stanley asked Milo: "Has he been promoted successfully?"

Milo gasped for a while and said: "Maybe this is the divinity of Hermes."

"What is the name of his skill? He can conquer all creatures in the world?"

Milo said blankly: "What does it mean to conquer? Anyway, I am completely convinced."

…

At dawn the next day, Manda broke free from the rope and ran out of the camp.

After learning the news, Stanley grabbed the guard and said angrily: "Where has he gone!"

A guard said with a bruised nose and face: "We can't beat him, and we can't catch up with him. He seems to have run to Blackwater City!"

Stanley looked at Blackwater City in the distance and was speechless for a while.

The lion girl said fiercely: "Manda said that you are not allowed to step into Blackwater City. If necessary, I can kill you!"

Stanley said angrily: "Crazy bitch, he went to Blackwater City, not me! Can you please be reasonable?"
