Give Me the Name of God

Manda left the royal capital overnight from the south of the city. Longesen and Stanton personally sent Manda outside the city.

Longgesen warned Manda several times: "See clearly the opponent's strength before taking action. There is really no chance of winning. Don't be reckless. Tell me the news first and wait for my reinforcements!"

Stanton was full of gratitude to Manda: "No matter what, you saved me. I came back alive. I must come back alive."

Stanton is really a real person.

Taking his "servants" with him, Manda set off from the south of the city, made a large circle outside the royal capital, and arrived at a house near the west of the city.

In this house, the gold coins and weapons that Milo had snatched were stored, as well as the food that Manda had previously hoarded.

…

Backen sat in the mansion and sipped the cider in his cup. He bought a batch of weapons from the Golden Light City. They were supposed to be delivered to the royal capital the day before yesterday, but there was still no movement. He reminded the God's Punishment Warrior who escorted the weapons, Even if something big happens, the date cannot be delayed. This matter was done behind the Archbishop's back.

So what happened? Did someone leak the news? Was there an accident with this batch of weapons? Kidnapped by the king? Or was he discovered by the archbishop?

At dawn the next day, the archbishop asked him to go to the cathedral.

Bucken's heart trembled. It seemed that he had been discovered by the archbishop.

Before that, he purchased a lot of weapons through different channels. The purpose of hoarding weapons was to seize the palace. As long as he had soldiers, he couldn't help the archbishop not agreeing. But now that the matter was exposed, he had to give the archbishop a reasonable explanation. .

The archbishop did know about it, but he did not find out about it from outside the city, but got the news from the city.

Rungersen knew about the weapons, and so did his commander Giorgia.

Georgia knew it, and so did the archbishop.

He could guess the origin of these weapons and Bucken's intentions, but he didn't want to tell the truth because there was still an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with.

"There are many cities in the south that have no harvest, and a large number of refugees are flocking to the royal capital. The first batch of refugees is probably more than 10,000 people, and they will arrive at the city in less than ten days. Bishop Bucken, what do you think we should do?"

Bucken let out a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as it wasn't about weapons, everything else was easy to talk about. Moreover, Bucken had already prepared for the issue of refugees.

"Sir, as believers in the Lord, it is our unshirkable responsibility to save these poor creatures. I suggest that we open the city gate and let them enter the capital, and open our granary to let them tide over the difficulties."

Leo, who was sitting aside, was stunned. This was the same idea as his. He didn't expect that the hard-hearted Bucken actually had such a soft side.

Howitt shook his head and said: "The total number of refugees may exceed 50,000, and our granary alone is simply not enough."

Bucken said: "Of course we can't rely entirely on our granary. The king is the master of a country, and it is his obligation to save his people. All the nobles in the royal capital should also contribute."

Howitt sighed and said: "This is what worries me. The nobles have nothing to lose, and they will not allow refugees to enter the city. As for the king, when have you ever seen him care about the lives of civilians?"

Bucken stood up and said: "Sir, please forgive my stubbornness. I don't care what the king and the nobles think. I only care about the sacred duty given to me by the Lord. I can't just watch those refugees die. I will fight to the end." .”

Leo stood up after hearing this and said: "I am willing to fight side by side with Bishop Bucken and fight together for these poor people!"

Howett nodded and drew a mark of the Sword of Divine Punishment on his chest: "The Lord will definitely hear our voices, and the merciful Lord will definitely bless us and those poor people."

After sending Bucken away, Howitt's face sank, and he glared at Leo and said, "What did you mean by what you just did?"

Leo looked confused and said: "Sir, we have the same idea as Bucken, shouldn't we make it clear?"

"We think the same thing? Where did you get that conclusion?"

Leo was surprised: "Don't Bucken also want to protect those refugees?"

Howitt sneered: "Would Bucken care about the refugees? How could you be so naive? His purpose in wanting the refugees to enter the city is to disrupt the order of the royal capital, take the opportunity to attack the king, and even seize the king's power by force!"

Leo took a breath and said, "How is this possible?"

Howitt shook his head and said: "At first, I just thought he was a bit domineering, and I also knew that he had hidden some of his troops in the capital, but I didn't expect that he had thousands of troops."

Howitt told Leo about the weapons, and Leo was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground: "He bought weapons for a thousand people? How could we not know about it?"

Howitt smiled bitterly and said: "We know too little about him. His ambition is far beyond our imagination. The refugees pouring into the royal capital will become another weapon for him. He will even take this opportunity to usurp the throne. Once he succeeds, you and I will definitely die. This time, we must stand on the side of the king and do our best to destroy Bucken's conspiracy."

Leo looked pale and said, "Will the king help us?"

"Stop saying such childish words. The king can't help anyone! He won't care about anyone except himself! Do what we should do, let the king try his best to do what he should do, and finally achieve a A situation that both parties can bear, this is the result we want. As for Bucken," Horwitt gritted his teeth and said, "We can no longer be soft-hearted towards him!"

…

Manda stayed in the house for three full days and finally waited for Manu.

You can't blame Manu for being late, it's Manda who came early. The incident in the royal capital disrupted Manda's plan.

Manu brought five hundred civilians with him. His task was to transport the weapons, food and gold coins purchased by Manda to the Bellamiya Mountains, and then use Manu's mountain drilling skills to transport them to Qixing Mountain.

After completing the delivery, Manda asked about the situation in the mountain. Manu said: "Stanley is following your instructions to recruit troops in the name of Roman Wilkins. The population of Qixing Mountain has reached 2,000 people."

Manda frowned and said, "There were originally more than a thousand people in the mountain. I sent so many gold coins, but I only attracted less than a thousand people?"

Manu looked embarrassed and said: "Sir, the population near Qixing Mountain is not large to begin with, and even fewer people are willing to go up the mountain to become thieves..."

Manda rubbed his forehead. Population was the Achilles' heel in remote areas. To solve this Achilles' heel, gold coins alone really couldn't solve the problem.

Manu wanted to say something that would make Manda happy: "Sir, the three mountain villages have been completed, and the remaining four have also started construction. New roads are being laid in the mountains. In two months, the first batch of food will be harvested... …”

Manda struggled to squeeze out a smile and said with appreciation: "You did a good job."

In fact, he was very dissatisfied. It was far more difficult to run a territory than he thought.

After sending Manu away, Manda found Pluto and applied the potion he prepared.

"Are these wounds fake?" After applying the potion, several wounds appeared on Manda's body. Apart from not being very painful, they looked no different from real wounds.

"It's all fake, but others can't detect it. Don't worry, sir." Pluto is very confident in his skills.

Manda clutched the oracle ring and prayed devoutly to Zeus: "Great Lord of the Gods, if my decision is appropriate, please give me the oracle."

After waiting for a long time, the emerald on the ring glowed.

That night, Manda quietly returned to the royal capital, went directly to the palace, and asked to see the king.

Not long after, Manda saw the king. Seeing that Manda was covered with bruises, the king's heart trembled.

"Did you miss?"

Manda shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I succeeded. I intercepted the weapon of God's Punisher, which is in this box."

After speaking, Manda took two steps back and presented the huge wooden box behind him in front of the king.

"That's it?" the king asked in surprise, "Is this a weapon that can arm a thousand people?"

Manda said: "The general's information is wrong. The weapons here cannot arm a thousand people, but in the hands of believers of the Lord of the Gods, they are more powerful than a thousand people."

After speaking, he opened the box and shouted: "Praise the great Lord of the Gods!"

Dazzling light rushed out from the box, and the king immediately stood up, his lips trembling and said: "This, this, this..."

Manda said slowly: "This is the Shield of Zeus and the Lightning Scepter, the artifacts of the Lord of the Gods!"
