Give Me the Name of God

During the march, Leo Girl kept smelling Manda's body.

This made Manda a little embarrassed: "If you want to do something, at least wait until night."

The lion girl smiled: "Actually, I smelled it when you first came back. There was a strange rouge smell on your body. Are you looking for the Grand Duke or a girl these days?"

"The thing is like this..."

"No need to explain, I don't care about this kind of thing," the lion girl looked around and whispered, "The smell of this rouge is very special. This spice is so charming. Can you help me get some?"

Manda smiled and said: "When I find that woman's head, I will give you some rouge and take it as a return gift from her."

The lion girl said in surprise: "It's just a little rouge, you don't have to be so cruel, right?"

"This has nothing to do with being vicious, this is my promise to her."

The army galloped for a day, but at night, it rained heavily and they couldn't even find a place to camp.

When passing a mountain road, the danger pendant suddenly became hot.

Manda's heart tightened, and she looked at the rain and then at the terrain.

There may be a danger of landslides, it would be great if Manu were here.

Manda ordered the march to be accelerated. Tens of thousands of people were galloping on the mountain road for half the night. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise behind them and a large piece of rock fell.

Sure enough, a landslide occurred. Fortunately, less than 400 soldiers and some food and grass were buried under the rocks.

The next day, the rain became more intense, and the original dirt road turned into a swamp. The army struggled in the swamp for three days.

On the seventh day, they passed by the Volantilla River. The river surged and broke the bridge. Hundreds of soldiers sacrificed their lives in order to lower the water and build the bridge.

On the ninth day, cracks dozens of feet wide appeared on the road. Manda, along with more than 30 believers and more than 500 craftsmen, spent two full days building a soft bridge using bark and vines. During the march, the soft bridge broke, killing hundreds more soldiers.

Manda was really curious. Zeus had the ability to cause landslides and cracks, so why didn't he use it on his enemies?

…

Along the way, the heavy rain never stopped, and nearly one-fifth of the soldiers died during the march.

Manda prayed to Hermes day and night. After suffering for more than ten days, they finally arrived at the Crispy Rock Valley.

Passing through the brittle rock valley is the southwest territory, and the exhausted soldiers finally reached the end. The blessing of the gods was obvious. Outside the valley, the heavy rain was still pouring, but inside the valley, they saw the sunshine.

That was the warm sunshine that they yearned for so much.

But before passing through the valley, Manda put forward a condition. Only those who recite the honorable name of Hermes and sincerely pray to Hermes are eligible to enter the valley.

This is a very harsh condition, especially for the God Punisher. It is bowing to heresy, and may even be suspected of apostasy.

The generals of the God's Punishment Army gnashed their teeth, and some were already ready to use force.

But Leo was very sober. He looked at the terrain of the brittle rock valley and knew that there was no possibility of a strong attack.

Not to mention him, Archduke Shelty once sent Breton to attack Crispy Rock Mountain. Breton used his tactics to the extreme, and it was inevitable that he would be defeated in the end.

Looking at Manda's stern look again, Leo realized that this matter was non-negotiable. But God's Punisher's mood was not easy to appease, so he could only find the Holy Messenger Wilkins first.

"Can you first set an example for everyone?"

Of course Jenkins was willing, and he led his soldiers to pray to Hermes first.

Led by the Holy Messenger, the Divine Punishers stepped forward one by one to recite the honorable name of Hermes. Manda looked at everyone's expressions one by one. Anyone who was absent-minded would be immediately expelled from the team.

Manda did this not to accumulate merit, this was a life-or-death decision.

Hermes is protecting this land. If the faith cannot be unified, how can Hermes resist the power of Zeus?

…

Hearing that Manda was about to return, Silva quickly made preparations to welcome him. It doesn't matter what he wins, but this time he suffered a defeat. In this case, there must be no big celebration. It's better for the family to get together and have a meal. .

But the food must be carefully selected, it must be warm and enjoyable, and it must make Manda forget about the trouble of failure during one meal.

The poet told Silva not to worry, Manda would still stay in Parrot City for a while.

Silva felt that he should make preparations early: "I have suffered and been wronged outside. I have to live a comfortable life for a few days at home."

While talking, a maid caught two live chickens and walked to the kitchen. Silva frowned and said: "Where are you going to take those chickens? I prepared them for the master!"

The maid replied: "The Grand Duke of Shelty said that he would eat two more chickens today."

"He eats four roast chickens a day, isn't that enough!" Silva was very annoyed. "The master is just too kind to him. He is just a prisoner, and yet he is so arrogant!"

The poet shook his head and smiled: "This is not kindness. You don't understand his value. What Manda got from him is far more than a few chickens."

While he was talking, the craftsman official Mushat (a craftsman who was greened in the royal capital and took his children to Manda) came to report: "Sir, there is a crack in a section of the city wall, and the craftsmen are sealing it with clay."

The poet frowned and said: "How wide is the crack?"

"More than two fingers."

The poet said angrily: "Then why repair it? Just tear it down and rebuild it!"

"That section of the city wall is very dangerous, and I heard that the Marquis is coming back..."

The poet sighed and said: "Let me go and have a look. You guys really don't live up to expectations!"

The poet left, but the maid was still waiting for Silva's order.

"Master Butler, these two chickens..."

"Take it and give it to him," the steward sighed. "Hermes bless him, make him obedient, and bring us all the good things from him."

As soon as the maid left, Ogg ran over again and yelled at the maid: "I want chicken, I want the fattest chicken."

Silva said angrily: "Didn't you eat a roast chicken today?"

“I ate that for myself, and it was just for the great prophet!”

"Dedicated to the great prophet..." Silva was stunned, "You are about to advance to the fifth level!"

Ogg nodded, and Silva said happily: "Good thing, this is a great good thing. I asked people to prepare a few more chickens and a few more cans of good wine. The great prophet is so generous. He only needs such an ordinary sacrifice." Taste."

…

The poet inspected the city walls and eventually ordered them to be demolished and rebuilt.

This was a bit frustrating. Only last month, he wrote to Manda to report the good news of completing the encirclement.

But now Manda is about to come back, but something like this happens.

No matter what, you can't do it perfunctorily. It's like your own yard. Every inch of the yard wall must be carefully taken care of.

After supervising the scene for a few days, the poet returned to his residence after seeing that the city wall was in good repair. When he saw many people running to Ogg's house to celebrate, the poet realized that Ogg had become a fifth-level believer.

What gift should I give him? Ogg is his own family, and like himself, he is a main member of the Claudesay family.

Full of blessings mixed with a little envy, the poet has gone through a lot of hard work to advance to the fourth level.

The Titans take good care of their followers. They are promoted quickly and do not need special sacrifices. A few chickens and cans of wine are enough to gain the approval of the gods...

The poet's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a gust of chill. He turned his face and looked at the mountain village where Shelty lived.

Cronus is the second generation god-king, but he is also the king of the Titans.

A few chickens and a few jars of wine can also be used as sacrifices to Cronus.

Shelty has been ordering a lot of chickens and cans of wine lately.

Could there be some kind of coincidence? Could it be that Shelty was preparing for the promotion ceremony...

The poet took a breath of cold air and quietly came to the mountain village where Shelty lived.

Shelty was sitting in the hall and smiled when he saw the guard pushing the poet's wheelchair in front of him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The poet looked calmly and said: "I wonder what the Grand Duke has ordered?"

Shelty stood up, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Tonight, Hephaestus' followers will be unable to move, including his body and his traps."
