Give Me the Name of God

Kallen is a vassal of Grand Duke Denke, and he came to the royal capital to support him on the Grand Duke's order. Although the king had issued an order not to allow lords from all over the country to approach the royal capital, the majesty of the Grand Duke could not be underestimated. None of the lords along the way dared to stand up and stop Kallen.

After rescuing the wounded General Rungesen, Carreon basically surmised the change in the situation, and the coward king gave in again.

This will be a fatal blow to all the lords who support the king, and they will become sinners in the eyes of the God's Punisher.

And among them, Carreon was the leader. What did his army do? First, he disobeyed the king's order, and then posed a threat to the God's Punishment Army. After Bucken took control of the royal capital, he could directly execute Kallen for heresy.

"Leave here as soon as possible," Longgesen reminded. "The king has reached a peace agreement with the God's Punisher. You may be attacked by the King's Army and the God's Punisher Army."

"Wait one more night. I am here to support the Royal Capital. As long as the God Punisher does not enter the Royal Capital, I can at least be considered a master. Besides, the city wall is still strong and there are reinforcements outside the city. Your Majesty may be able to change his mind and continue. Continue fighting with the God’s Punishment Army.”

Longerson shook his head and said, "Don't wait, don't wait even a moment, give me some food and water, and we'll go our separate ways."

Carreon was startled, then smiled and said, "General Longsen, I saved your life, and you just want to leave?"

"I'm not an ungrateful person, but I don't want to implicate you. I will become one of the biggest sinners in the kingdom. If you take me with you, your situation will be even more embarrassing."

"That's not necessarily the case. Rest peacefully, General. When it's time to set off, I won't hesitate at all."

That night, the gates of the royal capital were opened wide, and Bucken led his army into the cathedral.

At dawn the next day, Bucken came to the palace and met the king.

Having just experienced a month of fierce fighting, the king was a little embarrassed when he saw Buckon.

But Bucken was very natural and summed up the previous events in a few words:

"This is not entirely your fault. Some of the actions of the former Archbishop Howitt did offend your majesty. He has passed away and the murderer has been severely punished. There is no need to delve into the past. The tolerant Lord can tolerate everything. After the smoke disappears, the Lord's Grace still bless your kingdom.”

The king felt a lot more at ease and was secretly glad that he had made a wise decision.

After a lot of polite words, it was time to get to the point. Bucken made a request: "Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to exterminate the rebels outside the city."

The king was stunned. He knew that the "rebels" in Bucken's mouth were referring to Carreon's army.

No matter how cowardly the king is, he also knows the purpose of Kallen's coming. Kallen is here to support the royal capital, and there is the instruction of Grand Duke Denke behind it. If he attacks Kallen now, he will offend all the lords in the north. , will also chill all the lords of the kingdom.

"Earl Smokestone may have some misunderstandings with us," the king smiled modestly. "It's not too late to find out the truth and deal with it. I have sent an envoy and received a reply soon. I think Earl Smokestone is very happy." I will leave the royal capital soon..."

"Leave? Are you going to let him escape?" Bucken's tone suddenly changed.

The king explained patiently: "I just don't want to make a hasty decision."

"You don't need to make any decisions. I have already drafted the order for you. I just need your seal."

Bucken took out the drafted document and waited for the king to seal it.

The king's face turned pale with fright. No matter how serious the conflict with the God Punisher was before, Howitt had never done such an egregious act.

But Bucken had already placed the document in front of the king. He was waiting for the king to complete the task, rather than asking the king to make a choice.

The fifth-level domineering force made the king breathless. He turned to look at the Minister of State, who had a blank expression on his face, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Lesio, do you think we should have some more discussions?"

Negotiate? What else can be discussed? More than 10,000 God's Punishment Army have entered the city. Most of the king's troops have been disarmed. The Fengxiao War Cavalry has been imprisoned like prisoners. The only armed force the king can use is more than a hundred guards in the palace. , at this point, what else is there to discuss?

Bucken was right in front of him, and if the Minister of State took action, it was still possible to kill him.

But what happens after killing him? Next, we will face a war with the Pope. The lesson of Rungersen is before our eyes. There is a high probability that the Minister of State will be used as a scapegoat and end up with the same fate as Rungersen.

The Minister of State forced a smile and whispered: "This matter should be decided by Your Majesty."

Bucken ignored the minister of state and came directly to the king, staring at the great seal of the kingdom.

Under his gaze, the king tremblingly picked up the seal and stamped it on the document.

In the afternoon of that day, Bucken led his troops out of the city to attack Carreon's camp, but Carreon had already left with his troops.

Bucken did not dare to pursue because he was not sure about the attitude of other lords. He once again drafted a document requesting the king to issue an "evil-killing order."

The so-called "Exorcism Order" is an order to exterminate heretics nationwide. The king hesitated again, which made Bucken very impatient.

"If you think this is a burden, just give the seal to me for safekeeping!"

The king did not dare to say more and quickly stamped his seal on the document.

It took a whole month for this order to finally spread to every corner of the kingdom, but the feedback received was very mixed.

The feedback from the northern lords was very positive. The northern princes, led by Duke Denke, were willing to obey the kingdom's orders and kill the heretics in the territory as soon as possible. However, they also put forward two conditions. One was that the previous things should be forgotten, including Carré. Everyone, including Eun, is thinking about the kingdom and cannot be held responsible for the past. Second, the God Punishers cannot build churches in their territory for the time being. The reason is that the situation is not yet stable and the local lords cannot guarantee the safety of the God Punishers.

Such a reply made Bucken very angry, but after calming down and thinking about it, he discovered an important issue. The northern lords were very united, and Denke used some means to establish a strong prestige among them.

If you think about it carefully, the reason is not difficult to guess. The capricious king gave the lords a serious sense of crisis. In order to survive, they must find a strong backer, and Archduke Denke is obviously the best choice.

Don't be too tough on them. If a unified resistance from the north is aroused, Bucken, whose foothold is not yet stable, may not be able to withstand it.

The situation in the south is even more chaotic. The overall situation is divided into three parts: southeast, due south and southwest.

The situation in the southeast region is the most difficult. The lords headed by Archduke Besariu refused to accept the king's order and declared that they would continue to maintain a hostile situation with the God's Punisher.

The attitude in the due south region was unclear, and the lords headed by Grand Duke Shelty did not give any clear response. They were waiting and watching.

The southwest region is a bit funny. They don’t have a strong leader, and there is a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending." Some people said they were determined to fight the God Punisher to the end, some said they resolutely followed the king's orders, some said they were not involved in the previous events, and one lord said He had just had a quarrel with the local deacon before and could reconcile at any time.

Such a chaotic southwest attracted Bucken's attention, and he set his sights on Grayfish Town.

"This place is occupied by a God's Punisher named Roman Wilkins," Bucken discussed with his men. "Start with him first and make Grayfish Town a sacred place in the southwest. We will give him some support and let He wiped out Monchik in Seven Star Mountain and El Meng in Blackwater City. The other lords, frightened by force, will inevitably defect to Wilkins. At that time, we will use the power of the southwest to change the ambiguous attitude of the due south region and let the southeast Fall into isolation, then send troops from the sea to annihilate them in one fell swoop!”
