Give Me the Name of God

Leonder's words were somewhat cryptic, which made Manda uncomfortable.

Moreover, his approach was also very cryptic, and he said so many threatening words, but he did not force Manda to stay. He just prepared a manor for Manda, with no guards and a lot of young and beautiful maids.

Do you think you can keep me in this way? Do you think I'm such a lecher?

Manda originally planned to use the underworld shuttle to leave immediately, but after calming down, he felt some deep meaning from Leonder's words.

What matters most to Manda is the last sentence, Typhon's position and Leonder's position.

What does their stance have to do with Manda?

It is difficult to predict the position of the gods. Let’s start with Leonder. His position has a distinctive feature, that is, he is an ally with everyone.

In the previous northern war, he and Bucken had a tacit understanding with each other, and this should be regarded as an alliance.

Not long ago he formed an alliance with Shelty again.

He and Manda have always maintained a good relationship. Although there is no alliance, they are de facto allies.

This should be the position he said, he can join any force.

But if he chooses Bucken or Shelty, the consequences for Manda will be disastrous.

If Leond surrenders to Buckon, the north will be unified, and the southeast will fall. The grievances between Manda and Shelty are too deep, and there is basically no possibility of an alliance. They can only wait to be defeated one by one.

If Leander defected to Shelta and lost the control of the southeast, Shelta would attack the southwest unscrupulously, and Bucken would put pressure from the north, leaving Manda with a dead end.

This is just the level of the human world, rising to the level of gods. Behind Sheltai is Cronus, behind Bacchan is the Lord of Divine Punishment. No matter which side the powerful Typhon joins, it will cause serious harm to Hermes. threaten.

Once you see through the stakes, your thinking becomes clear.

Leander made a mistake and rashly captured the southeast when the north was not completely stable, resulting in an overly long front line, too many problems, and the situation getting out of control.

This is in line with the divinity of Typhon, who made a similar mistake when he attacked Mount Olympia.

According to Typhon's temperament, he definitely wants to remain independent rather than be attached to other gods. Once he chooses to be attached, his speed of developing followers will be limited, and his power will also be limited, but the prerequisite for maintaining independence is that Leonder can solve the current dilemma.

Leonder was unable to solve the dilemma, but Typhon grasped a key point. Leonder's position was a matter of life and death for Manda.

So He gave Manda a multiple-choice question, either help Leonde clean up the mess, or sit back and wait for death.

What a shameless coercion! But Manda really fell into the trap. Judging from the current situation, Manda has no choice but to help Leander solve the problem.

Medusa ate the black goose meat, drank the green fruit wine, looked at the gorgeous maids around her, and sneered at Manda:

"I have long said that no man is good. When I asked you to go to sea, you said you only had ten days and wouldn't give you one more day. Now that you see these charming women, you have time?"

Manda shook his head and said: "I have no choice. Do you understand that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold?"

"don't know!"

Manda looked at the sleeping Susi: "He understands, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to help me."

Suss knows the situation in the southeast best, but you can't expect him to help others manage the territory that once belonged to his family.

While Tila was still sleeping, Manda used the underworld shuttle to send him back to Parrot City. The navy must be on full alert, and the angry Sheltai is likely to launch a surprise attack.

As soon as they arrived at Parrot City, the oracle ring turned on. Manda quickly set up the altar and summoned the god Pan.

The old goat sighed and said, "You are really hard to find. Where have you been these days?"

Manda told God Pan about her experience at sea, and God Pan was quite surprised: "Poseidon is really hidden. From this point of view, he is not our friend. The relationship between Athena and him is extraordinary. We We should be more vigilant.”

While speaking, the old goat took out a piece of pure divine blood stone: "This is a reward for you. According to my calculations, after you have eaten all the divine blood stones, you will have completed the sixth level of cultivation. By then, I will tell you the whereabouts of the seventh-level statue.”

Manda was stunned: "Isn't there any ready-made one?"

"Originally, I had it, but I lost it accidentally," the old goat said with a smile, "Don't be so greedy, you have to put in more effort if you want to become a saint. I came to you to tell you something important. Kronos has completely After taking over the authority of Ares in the human world, the Queen of Heaven is very angry and her mood is not very stable. You have to be careful of followers of Hera."

Manda whispered: "You mean, let me kill them?"

"No," Pan Shen shook his head and said, "The Queen's strength should not be underestimated. Father does not want to anger her unless it is absolutely necessary."

"what should I do?"

"Keep them away from your territory, especially high-level believers, but it is by no means expulsion. Make them leave willingly without angering the Queen of Heaven. Remember this."

Pan left, and Manda rubbed her temples vigorously.

There is a sixth-level believer of Hera in Seven Star Mountain right now. He cannot be killed or driven away. He must be allowed to leave his territory and he must be willing to do so.

Is the Minister of State so easy to deceive?

I still don’t know how to deal with the mess in the southeast, but now there is another thorny issue.

But thinking of the two things together, a beam of light suddenly flashed in Manda's mind.

Mess, mess, who's the best at dealing with mess?

The royal capital controlled by the God's Punisher was definitely in a mess, but it had maintained stability for decades.

Manda used the underworld to travel back to Qixing Mountain, and happened to meet the anxious Pluto.

"Sir, I sent you an urgent letter, but you have not responded. The royal capital has sent a messenger. Bucken has become the king. He wants to canonize you as the Duke of the Southwest and ask you to go to the royal capital to receive the title."

Manda asked: "Where is the messenger?"

Pluto said: "It was intercepted in Bluestone City and has not yet penetrated deep into our territory."

With just one piece of information, Manda was able to deduce Bucken's intentions.

Messengers were sent from the main road and issued a canonization edict to Manda openly and openly. This was announcing his status and questioning Manda's position.

It's not a test, it's not an investigation, it's a direct questioning.

Bucken was already prepared for Manda's refusal, and had also thought about the charges for Mandala. As long as Manda refused, Bucken would immediately declare Manda a traitor.

This is not a big deal. This is not the first time that Manda has become a traitor. The key now is to see the attitude of others. Shelty has already rejected Bucken. Who else is there besides him?

There must be Leonder, there are only a few forces in Romulu Country, which confirms what Leonder said before, his position is very important.

Buckon's messenger was still waiting for a reply, but Manda didn't want to waste time on this matter, so he gave the task to King Tikas.

Tikas is also a king, an authentic king jointly appointed by the previous king and the minister of state. Although he does not hold any actual power, he is more orthodox than Bakenlai in terms of lineage, legal principles and certification by authoritative institutions.

Such a good king cannot always be a decoration. His food, clothing, housing and transportation must be of the highest standard. He must do something useful. Manda is going to send him to Bluestone City to negotiate with the messenger.

Pluto reminded: "If you want to send the king, you must first obtain the consent of the minister of state."

"Not only does he have to agree, but he has to do something for me. Southeast needs him very much right now."

Manda came to the residence of the Minister of State. As expected, the Minister of State did not agree with the king leaving Qixing Mountain.

But Manda had no intention of asking for his advice: "Bucken has proclaimed himself king, and the king should negotiate with the king. This is called equality of status. If I intervene, I may make mistakes because of Bucken's temptations. Decide."

This is a threat from Manda. If Ticas is unwilling to come forward to negotiate, Manda may turn to Bucken.

Lesio could naturally hear the implication, and knew that he could not refuse the current situation, but he did not want Ticas to go to Bluestone City, it was too dangerous.

"Bucken's messenger should be allowed to come to Seven Star City to meet with His Majesty. This is the only etiquette thing to do."

"That's impossible," Manda shook his head. "Do you think I would show the entire southwest to Bucken's messenger? Would I show him the entire landscape of Seven Star City?"

Lessio knew that he could not convince Manda, so he could only make one last request: "At least let me go with His Majesty, I can protect his safety."

Manda rejected Lesio again: "I think I made it very clear. The situation in the southeast determines our future. Your student is very smart and knows enough about the southeast, but when faced with his own family's territory, he will definitely had other ideas, so I needed someone smarter and better at handling government affairs than him to help me."

“I can supervise and mentor Seuss in other ways that don’t necessarily have to go to Southeast…”

Manda shook his head and said: "I provided shelter for His Majesty and took a lot of risks for it. I tried my best to protect His Majesty's status and suffered a lot of hatred for this. The transaction must be fair. I not only want to see your sincerity , but also to see your chips.”

Lessio said no more, Manda was more domineering than he imagined.

Although he was extremely unhappy, he also recognized Manda's resourcefulness. The situation had undergone such complicated changes, and Manda had made the best response.

After a good discussion, Manda took Lessio to Longyin City overnight. The strength of the sixth-level believer was extraordinary. He did not need to take powdered medicine and could use skills to put his soul into a state of sleep.

After understanding the current situation in the southeast, Lessio put forward two conditions:

First, Lesio's identity cannot be disclosed. This is not a slight on Leonder, but a precaution against Typhon.

Second, business matters were settled by Manda, while Lessio only made suggestions on government and military affairs.

At dawn the next day, Leander had changed his decree and promised to purchase wheat at the price of ten copper coins per pound and barley at the price of eight gold coins per pound.

At the same time, he also handed over the deployment of troops in the southeast to Manda.

After taking the deployment map back to the manor and looking at it for a while, Manda was shocked and quickly circled Xiangteng County and Quehua County on the map with a pen: "We must send additional troops to these two places immediately. I'm worried that Bucken has already taken action. !”

Lessio looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is enough to send more troops to Quehua County, and divide half of the troops in Xiangteng County to the surrounding villages."

Manda said in shock: "There are only 800 people in Xiangteng County, you still want to divide the troops?"

Lesio smiled and said, "It's just a suggestion."
