Give Me the Name of God

Cuitishan left Qixing Mountain, and Elmeng wrote a long letter to Nars, detailing the conditions for the alliance, and asked Cuitishan to bring generous gifts and give her twenty people at the same time. guards to keep her safe.

As for Cuitishan's previous entourage, all the men were killed and all the women were divided. No one, including Roma, was spared. This was undoubtedly a huge humiliation and provocation to Nars.

Manda wanted to take this opportunity to test Nars's attitude. If he refused Elmen's gift, or simply killed the twenty guards, it would mean that he would start a war in the southwest.

If he accepts the gift, it proves that he accepts Manda's alliance conditions.

But Manda still didn’t know enough about Nars.

He accepted the gift, entertained twenty guards from Blackwater City, and wrote a sincere reply to Elmen, as if he didn't care about what Manda had done, and turned a deaf ear to his daughter's cries. .

After sending away the twenty guards, Nars immediately recruited troops and prepared to attack the southwest. He reported the incident to Archduke Denke through a secret message, claiming that he had suffered unprecedented humiliation and must pay for it with blood. own dignity.

Of course Denke understands Naers' intention. Dignity is part of the reason, but a very small part. Interest is the key.

Denke had no interest in the southwest before, but now the north is so stable. Since Nars wants to expand his power, Denke should provide support.

He sent Nars a large amount of weapons and food, and allowed Nars to use the Denco family emblem on the battlefield.

This means that although Denko did not send soldiers, Nars could declare war on Elmeng in the name of Grand Duke Denko.

Nars formed an army of 5,000 men. Without issuing a letter of challenge or making any fanfare, he quietly left the city of Drawsha.

A liquor vendor saw the march, calmly returned to the tavern, and told the boss Dunison the news.

Dunison has been in Drawing City for less than half a month, and the tavern's business is already quite prosperous. No matter where he goes, as long as he has enough capital, Dunison can start a business in a very short time. Looking at his talent, Manda once thought he was a follower of Hermes, but after Quinta's test, he found that his natal god was Hestia, the goddess of hearth and family. Perhaps because of Hestia's blessing, Dunison was able to quickly settle down no matter where he was.

Manda asked Dunison to follow Cuitishan to Drawsha City to inquire about the news. Fortunately, he had this extra precaution, otherwise Nars would have been caught off guard.

Dunison passed the Styx Island and reported the news to Manda.

Manda knew that Nars was here for him, and he had to mobilize his troops in time to prepare for defense. However, there were many counties in the southwest, and Manda did not have many troops. Which one should he focus on defending?

The poet gave advice: "We are the ones who offended Nars. Nars will definitely attack Qixing Mountain directly."

Che Erdan thought further: "Judging from Cuitishan's confession, she does not know much about the Southwest. I am afraid that Marquis Nars also knows very little about the Southwest, otherwise he would not take the initiative to form an alliance with Almen. He has no idea who is the master of Southwest.

Without understanding Southwest, Nars would not take action against Qixing Mountain first. In the eyes of outsiders, Qixing Mountain really has no value. Besides, Nars also thinks that you are a vassal of El Meng. According to normal thinking, It was deduced that he should attack Blackwater City first. "

Manda kept looking at the map, her eyebrows knitted together and never loosened.

After being quiet for a long time, Manda suddenly pointed at the map and said: "Choose three thousand people to follow me to Bluestone City. That is the enemy's target."

The poet didn't speak. Che Erdan shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

"Because this is the closest to Drawing City..." Manda wanted to give some more explanations, but suddenly Eudora rushed into the room and shouted: "Horna is awake!"

Manda smiled and said: "It's good to wake up. She has been sleeping for more than a month."

"She woke up and went to find Roma."

"Uh..." Manda's heart tightened, "What is she going to do with Roma?"

"fight!"

The Leo woman has lost all her powers and has completely turned into a blind duck, but she has never been timid when it comes to fighting.

Roma is nearly two heads taller than her, and even without the use of disciple skills, her physical condition is enough to crush the Leo woman.

But the fighting spirit of the Lion Girl was not comparable to that of Roma. Even though she had been in coma for more than a month, the moment she saw Roma, the fire of ignorance ignited her weak body. The Lion Girl jumped on Roma's face and scratched her. With a bite, Roma was caught off guard.

Roma couldn't speak and didn't even have a chance to explain. Her handsome and resolute face was quickly scratched to pieces by the Lion Girl. Roma couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the Lion Girl and threw her out the door.

As if the lion girl didn't feel the pain, she stood up and prepared to fight again. Pluto rushed over with Ogg, and controlled the situation with difficulty.

Manda didn't dare to show up. Some things couldn't be explained, and explaining them would be of no use.

At night, Ogg, who was covered in bruises, came to Manda's room, pointed to the scars on his body and said: "Your woman beat me, you have to compensate me."

Manda said with an indignant look: "Which woman is so cruel and hits her so hard?"

"If two people fight together, they will both fight to death!" As he spoke, Ogg had tears in his eyes.

"I will compensate you. This is all easy to say. I have something important to discuss with you. I am going to lead troops to Bluestone City. Please ask the great prophet whether my choice is wise."

Ogg looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, and whispered to Manda: "The great prophet once reminded me that you may never trust Him again."

Manda smiled after hearing this. Because she had been deceived by Prometheus, she no longer trusted him?

Hold a grudge against the gods?

Manda is not that arrogant and not that stupid.

"Please tell the great prophet that my reverence for Him has not diminished in the slightest, and I sincerely pray for His guidance."

After preparing rich sacrifices, Ogg began the solemn sacrifice. At noon the next day, he received the oracle from Prometheus.

"The great prophet said that going to Bluestone City is the right choice, but you'd better not go anywhere."

Manda blinked: "I don't quite understand this."

"The great prophet said you can feel it and no more explanation is needed."

"Can I feel it?" Manda was still confused, but Ogg didn't want to say more.

"That's all the great prophet told me. Your two women beat me like this. Now it's time to compensate me."

Compensation is easy to talk about, Ogg just wants a few pieces of exquisite jewelry for Helena.

But the oracle of Prometheus was too difficult to understand, and it took Manda two days to understand what it meant.

Going to Bluestone City was the right choice, which proved that Nars' goal was indeed Bluestone City.

Best not to go anywhere means that Manda himself had better not leave Qixing Mountain.

His fifth-level cultivation path is over, and he has to prepare for his sixth-level promotion. It is obviously unsafe to go to the battlefield now.

The safest place is Qixing Mountain, and Manda should stay here to complete his promotion.

But now there is neither a way to be promoted nor a sacrifice for promotion, so what's the point of waiting here?

Although he couldn't think of an answer for the time being, Manda still followed the oracle of Prometheus and asked Stanley and Che Erdan to go to Bluestone City to meet the enemy.

On the day the army set off, the oracle ring suddenly lit up. This was a signal from the old goat. He had a gift to give to Manda.
