Give Me the Name of God

The next day, Bucken suddenly mobilized troops and horses under the city. The originally concentrated formation became a lot sparse. The cavalry, which was almost useless in the siege battle, was arranged to both wings of the team. It looked like a flat ground battle was about to begin. war.

The change was so unusual that Longgesen, who had been fighting for half his life, immediately became vigilant. He wanted to report the matter to the king, but his messenger was blocked outside the palace gate.

The king refused to receive anyone, not even Rungersen himself.

Longsen couldn't think of anything wrong with the king. The king was at war, but the king didn't even want to hear the battle report.

In desperation, he had no choice but to tell the news to the Minister of State. Although it was against the rules, and although he still felt a little disgusted with the Minister of State, he was the only person he could trust in the royal capital.

Seeing the changes in the enemy's forces, the Minister of State immediately made the correct judgment.

"The enemy wants to divide their troops. They ride horses to move quickly, not to fight with cavalry."

Longgesen said: "It seems they still want to attack the city from the west."

"Don't be so arbitrary," the Minister of State shook his head and said, "Maybe it's the west of the city, maybe it's the east, or it might be the north. My father often said that anything we can think of, the enemy can also think of."

Longerson stared at the Minister of State for a long time. He was very familiar with this sentence. General Lessio had said it to him many times before.

"I asked people to go to the city to investigate and see if there is any movement. Most of the ordnance defending the city is in the south of the city. In case the enemy attacks from other city gates, we have to prepare early."

Just as Longesen was about to walk down the city, he was stopped by the Minister of State: "Don't go anywhere, just stay here. Leave the affairs of the city to me. Don't leave your position at all."

"But if the enemy is really..."

"General, you are used to attacking cities, and you must have forgotten the essentials of defense," said the Minister of State. "My father also said that when defending, the most important thing is to identify the enemy's position. Now the enemy is still Here, you must stay here.”

The Minister of State led more than a hundred guards and took the lead in starting an investigation in the west of the city. They searched all morning and found nothing.

After returning to the mansion and having a simple lunch, the Minister of State was about to leave for the east of the city when he saw Georgia, the captain of Longsen's army, walking in.

"Sir, the general has something important to discuss with you. The enemy's formation has become more dispersed, and there are many carriages appearing on both wings."

The Minister of State frowned. It was obvious that this was a sign of the enemy's division of troops, and the scale of the division might become even larger.

What else is negotiable? Haven’t you said everything that needs to be said? With Longgesen's ability, he should know how to deal with this change.

"I know about this." The Minister of State for Affairs said casually.

Georgia said: "Sir, if you need help, I can stay and assist you. This is also the general's order."

"Thank you for your kindness," the Minister of State smiled. "I think General Rungersen needs you more than me. Let's get back to the battlefield."

Georgia walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said: "I found some strange things on the way here. I should have reported it to the general first, but you are responsible for the affairs in the city. I think I can show it to you first. .”

Giorgia handed the Minister of State a piece of dark stone on which a vertical line, a circle and several small dots were engraved.

It looked nothing special, like a failed sculpture. The Minister of State held the stone piece and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "It seems you are right. I do need your help. How many people do you have on your hands?"

"I only took fifty soldiers with me."

"Fifty people, that's enough. Follow me to the east of the city immediately."

The Minister of State knows this stone piece. It is an ancient method of transmitting messages in the God's Punishment Army. Although it has been abolished for many years, the Minister of State still clearly remembers the meaning of this stone piece.

Pure black stone flakes are rare. As long as they are discarded on the road, they will be easily discovered by other God's Punishers.

The vertical line on the stone tablet refers to the Sword of Divine Punishment, which means there will be a war today. The circle represents the sun, which means that the battle location is in the east. The number of stars is very dense, which means that the battle time is late at night. A few simple strokes have been passed on. With enough information, all God Punishers who pick up this stone piece are obliged to participate in this war.

The God Punishers in the city are finally about to take action, but why do they use such a backward method to deliver the message? This is too easy for people to discover, and how much combat effectiveness can the temporarily assembled God Punishers have?

"We need to think about this problem carefully," the Parliamentary Secretary said to himself all the way. "We must think about it carefully."

At night, Bucken led his troops to attack the royal capital from the south of the city. Longsen was not surprised by this. He knew that Bucken's food was running low, and Longson would not be surprised if the opponent attacked at any time.

The battle went step by step, the disadvantage of the troops would not change, and the advantage of the city wall would not change. Although the king did not visit the battlefield in person, the soldiers who had experienced the battle of life and death had learned how to face the war.

The holy light flashed, arrows flew, and at the gate of hell, the soldiers calmly completed their mission.

There is no need to pay attention to the fallen companions, no need to be afraid, and no need to be sad. Killing one more enemy is the best memorial to them.

A group of God's Punishers gathered on the streets in the east of the city. He rushed towards the city gate with crude weapons. The leading God's Punisher shouted loudly: "Avenge the Archbishop!"

The rest of the God Punishers chanted the Archbishop's name: "Howitt! Howitt!"

When the city gate was close at hand, Stanton, who had ambushed in advance, led his law enforcement officers and wealthy businessmen to fire random arrows on the city wall.

The law enforcement officers' archery skills were poor, and some did not even know how to draw a bow.

The archery skills of the wealthy businessmen are not much better. Although they have many servants who can fight, they are all just wandering ruffians, far from real soldiers.

But it was such a makeshift army that actually killed all the God's Punishers. There were two reasons. First, they took advantage of their position on the city wall. Second, their opponents were very unbearable, and their combat effectiveness was even worse. Not as good as them.

Moreover, the Minister of State still had backup. Even if Stanton couldn't stop the Punisher, there were still fifty soldiers led by Giorgia to back them up.

"Fifty people, that's enough!" The Minister of State said the same thing to Stanton. He despised this group of God's Punishers because he knew that the real threat was not here at all.

Looking at Stanton who was cheering for joy, Georgia shook his head and said: "My Lord Sheriff, don't be so happy yet. What you killed was not Bucken's soldiers."

Stanton frowned and said, "Then whose soldiers are they?"

"They are the remnants of Horwitt. Didn't you hear it just now? They kept shouting Horwitt's name."

Stanton sneered and said: "I hate smart people the most. The enemy troops outside the city also shouted Horwitt's name, but they are Bucken's army."

"That's different," Georgia looked at the body of God's Punisher and sighed. "Although they are all fighting for Howitt, they are really different."

In the shack in the north of the city, the old man covered in abscesses heard the news from the east of the city.

"They are all dead," the old man nodded. "They are brave people, worthy of the dead Howitt. Now it is our turn. It is time to give Archbishop Bucken a gift!"
