Give Me the Name of God

Among the tasks assigned by Hermes, Manda believed that investigating the gods' position was the most difficult, and not losing to Ares' followers was the easiest. As long as the brittle rock valley was defended, there was basically no possibility of defeat.

Now it seems that Manda was blindly optimistic. This task was not simple at all. The enemy did not pass through the Crispy Rock Valley, but directly attacked Qixing Mountain, and now they have a high probability of winning.

Just two villages were bloodbathed. Is this considered a victory?

It depends on the definition of victory and defeat.

Driven by Qixing Mountain, the surrounding villages were very prosperous, with five to six hundred people in each village. The two villages were bloodbathed, which meant that Hermes had lost more than a thousand devout believers, and the enemy also There are only more than a thousand people.

Judging purely from the number of people, even if the enemy troops are completely wiped out, it will only be a tie. If the losses are further expanded, it will become an out-and-out failure.

Of course, if the enemy carries Ares' blood, their lives may be more valuable, but the battle losses between the two sides cannot be too different.

Some lords repelled the enemy at the cost of several times or even ten times the battle losses. They called the result of such a battle a victory. Manda did not think so because it was not in line with the principle of fair trade.

Treat war as a business, and you must clearly calculate the costs and benefits. Losing land is a loss, and losing population is a greater loss. The lost land can be regained, but it will take at least ten years to replenish the lost population. time.

This is Manda's point of view, but now Manda is worried that Hermes has the same point of view.

If Manda is deemed defeated, what kind of punishment will it be?

It's useless to think about all this. The top priority is to think of a suitable tactic to allow Stanley to reverse the defeat as soon as possible.

Manda drew a sketch of Seven Star Mountain on the parchment. He was thinking about countermeasures when he suddenly saw the oracle ring on his finger light up.

Pan was looking for him, so it was concluded that the matter was settled, and Hermes concluded that this was a failure.

Manda had been brewing for a long time and managed to come up with a story. He arranged the altar and completed the sacrificial ceremony. However, when the white smoke cleared, the old goat was nowhere to be seen.

What happened?

God Pan doesn't want to see him?

Have you been abandoned by the gods?

It's just a temporary failure, so there shouldn't be such a severe punishment!

Manda grabbed his hair and trembled desperately. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down.

God Pan probably hasn't given up on himself yet, he was the one who lit up the oracle ring.

But why doesn't He want to see Him?

It was probably because Hermes was still furious and Pan didn't dare to meet him.

In any case, this matter has completely gotten out of control. If it cannot be handled properly, Manda cannot imagine the next consequences.

He didn't dare to stay in Drawsha City. He had to return to Qixing Mountain immediately.

Seeing Manda leaving suddenly, Leonder was a little surprised. Manda was injured and had to carry the lion girl on his back. Leonder kindly advised: "I know we will become enemies in the end, but that day is still far away. , stay here to recover from your injuries, and wait until you are healed before leaving. The followers of the God Emperor will not be so despicable, and I will never take advantage of others."

But Manda had already decided to leave, so Leonder had no choice but to prepare some bread and dried meat for him and left his room.

In this world, integrity is a rare virtue. Leonder has never flaunted his integrity, but he is not even willing to pry into Manda's method of traveling through the underworld.

Maybe they will really meet on the battlefield in the future, but Manda also believes that that day will not come so soon.

Manda carried the lion girl on her back and entered the underworld. Under the pressure of the lion girl, the wounds on her back made Manda break into a cold sweat.

Following the familiar road through the dark canyon, we came to the Acheron River.

He found the most familiar rock, took off his gloves, and stroked the lines on the rock.

The injuries on the fingers have improved a bit, and most of the wounds have scabbed over, but the blood scabs are a bit thick, affecting Manda's sense of touch.

It doesn't matter if it has a slight influence. Manda is extremely familiar with the road leading to Qixing Mountain, and he knows where the crack is.

After tearing open the crack, entering the passage, and traveling for a long time, Manda left the underworld and returned to the human world in a secluded alley.

This seems to be a cluster of residential buildings. When did Qixing Mountain have such a dense density of residential buildings?

Is it because too many people have moved in recently that the poet just built it?

Impossible. Looking at the mottled walls, these buildings are quite old.

This is not Qixing Mountain! Going the wrong way?

Manda's heart trembled, and she carefully walked forward in the alley with the lion girl on her back.

First she felt strange, and then she felt familiar. When she walked out of the alley and onto the street, Manda was shocked.

Manda recognized this street, which people used to call Bishop's Avenue.

Going west is the cathedral, going east is the palace!

This is the royal capital!

The tactile sensation is affected, and the exit may be a little deviated, but such a large deviation is too outrageous! How could it be possible to travel to the royal capital?

Wangdu is the realm of God's Punisher. To Manda, this place can be equated with nightmares.

Without thinking too much, he left quickly. Manda returned to the alley and tried to open the entrance to the underworld, but he failed.

All the processes were fine, but the entrance to the underworld did not appear, and his skills seemed to have lost touch with the underworld.

What is the reason? Could it be because he was injured and lacked physical strength?

It doesn't seem to be a problem with physical strength, every step of the skill is done very well.

Manda was about to try the sixth level skill again when he suddenly saw two God Punishers walking from a distance.

The two divine punishment warriors did not conceal their auras. Manda could smell that they were both second-level divine punishment warriors. He wanted to use his first-level skills to verify it, but he stared at their chests for a long time, but did not see the value of the divine blood stone. .

There must be something on their chests blocking their view, or maybe their clothes are too thick.

Of course, there is another possibility, but Manda doesn't dare to think in that direction.

Two divine punishment warriors came to Manda and asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Manda deliberately made a nervous and scared expression, lowered her head, and said cautiously: "My name is Leadson, and I am a businessman from the north."

This is the normal reaction of ordinary people when they see the God Punishers. They thought that the matter would just go away, but unexpectedly the two God Punishers refused to let go: "Who asked you to come here? Don't you know this is a forbidden area? "

When did this place become a forbidden area? In Manda's impression, this place was just an ordinary residential area between the palace and the cathedral, and the people who lived here were all devout believers in divine punishment.

Did they discover heresy here? Or discovered the remnants of Howitt's gang?

No matter what the reason was, Manda had to find a suitable excuse: "My wife is sick, and I want to take her to the church to pray. I am not familiar with the capital, and I don't know why I ended up here."

Never mention taking your wife to see a doctor. Doctors are equivalent to wizards in this era. Going to a doctor is equivalent to confirming the identity of a heretic.

A divine punishment warrior shouted: "All intersections are blocked, how did you get here?"

"When I came here, I didn't see the intersection blocked..." Manda didn't know how to explain it.

"Don't you want to go to church? Come with us, I will take you there!" A divine punishment warrior grabbed Manda's clothes.

Manda looked around and saw that no one was there. It seemed that there was no need to continue explaining.

There are two second-level divine punishment warriors. You don't need to use skills to kill them, and you can guarantee that they won't make a sound.

A divine punisher shouted: "Hurry up and follow me! Why are you dawdling?"

The only problem is that the golden finger is not working well. If they fail to kill each other and make these two guys yell, they will be in big trouble.

"I told you to leave quickly, didn't you hear me?" God Punisher punched Manda, who covered her face and sobbed softly.

"You still don't understand, do you?" Another God Punisher kicked Manda, and Manda clutched her stomach and wailed in a low voice.

It's better to use a dagger, it's safer this way.

"Follow me immediately!" A divine punisher stepped forward and grabbed Manda's hair. Manda suddenly raised his head and stabbed the opponent's throat with a dagger.

The other Divine Punisher was shocked. He just opened his mouth, but before he could shout, Manda pulled out the dagger and cut his neck.

"May your Lord take you to the Kingdom of God." Manda drew a symbol of the Sword of Divine Punishment on his chest. He was about to leave with the Lion Girl on his back when he saw another Divine Punisher appear at the entrance of the alley.

He was less than two hundred feet away from Manda. With Manda's speed, he could rush in front of him immediately and cut his throat before he shouted.

But Manda ran as hard as she could, but found that she couldn't run fast.

Much faster than ordinary people, after all, he has the physical talent of a sixth-level believer, but his second-level skills have failed.

Before he ran a hundred feet, he heard the God Punisher shouting loudly: "Come quickly! There are heretics here, and one of us has been killed!"
