Give Me the Name of God

Manda stood on the newly built tower and looked at the distant sky.

It was very clear, there were no clouds, and there was a clear line between the sky and the snow.

"Are you sure there will be a snowstorm today?" Manda looked back at Ogg.

Ogg wiped his nose and said: "The great prophet said that the wind and snow will not come until noon. It is useless for you to stand here now."

Back at the wooden house, Manda counted the pearls she had coughed up in the past few days, seventy-two in total. The war is approaching, and the soldiers are chanting Mengda's name every day, and the output is quite gratifying.

But Manda was not in a hurry to convert them into primitive power. After the last pain, he felt that he had acted too hastily. From now on, he must not swallow more than a hundred pills at a time.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the wind started to pick up. The cold wind was mixed with snowflakes, which gradually became faster and faster. In less than a candle's time, everything as far as the eye could see was silvery white.

Boyuin stood at the door and murmured: "The beasts of the tundra are coming. Harumas bless us and let these beasts avoid our tribe."

Comparing natural disasters to wild beasts is a common characteristic of primitive people. Manda felt it was necessary to do a popular science:

"The change of weather has nothing to do with beasts. When cold air and moist air meet..."

Manda said a lot, and Boyuin seemed to understand: "Baikuga is right. The wind and snow do not come because of the wild beasts. What I said is that the wild beasts come because of the wind and snow."

If you put it that way, the difference is huge.

But why do wild beasts follow the wind and snow? In such a snowstorm, shouldn't the beasts find a place to hide?

Boyuin explained: "There are such winds and snows every day in the tundra, but in the land of the warriors, such violent winds and snows are very rare. Such violent winds and snows will break through the boundaries of the tundra, and the beasts will not If we get lost again, we will attack the villages where the soldiers are sent.”

Manda was very interested in this: "Has your tribe ever been attacked by wild beasts?"

"Every tribe has been attacked by ferocious beasts. The ferocious beasts from the tundra are difficult to defeat. Only the bravest warriors dare to fight to the death, and I am one of them."

Boyuin opened his shirt, revealing the wound on his back: "When I was young, a two-headed bear broke into the tribe. My mother took nine of my brothers and hid in the cellar. I was the only one. Fighting side by side with my father, we chopped off its head with hunting knives, stabbed his chest with hunting forks, and burned his hair with fire. We fought fiercely with it all night until we were exhausted, and then conquered it."

"What exactly do you mean by conquest?"

"Nunu!" Boyuin didn't hide it.

"Why does it have to be Nunu?"

Boyuin didn't look good this time. He tried to find an excuse for himself, but he didn't have the courage to deceive Baikuga.

In the end, he chose to tell the truth: "If we don't Nunu, we will be beaten to death by that bear."

"That's it." Manda looked into the distance, thinking about the logical problem of this paragraph.

After a long silence, Manda asked: "Who conquered whom?"

Boyuin smiled with emotion: "Who can tell clearly what happened after so many years."

"Take me to see the beasts of the tundra," Manda said solemnly, "and see if I can conquer them."

…

Gogoch, the general of the Bayer Kingdom, was drinking in his tent. He was the vanguard of General Lomonlov and led a thousand soldiers to directly attack the Bayouin tribe.

Originally, there were only two days left to travel, but a sudden snowstorm forced him to stop and set up camp. Depending on the situation, he would be delayed for at least half a day. The food in the Bayer Kingdom is very scarce. When sending troops to fight, they only bring one-way rations, and never more. All the rations for the return journey are robbed.

If he were delayed for a moment longer, the soldier might starve. It would be okay if he only went hungry for half a day, but no one knew when the wind and snow would stop. If it lasted for more than two days, he would be forced to retreat.

What to do after retreating? No food, no food. He is very familiar with the rules of the Bayer people. The vanguard rushes in front, and other troops grab from behind. All the villages behind him must have been robbed.

If you can't get it, you can only ask Lomonlov for it, but will he give it to you?

Maybe I can give him a few mouthfuls of leftovers, but I don't know how much ridicule and sarcasm I will suffer from him during this period.

Damn Lomonlov, why did you let me be the vanguard! I never offended him!

I gave him two hundred gold coins during the New Year. Did he think it was too little?

After drinking a can of soju, the irritable Gogol was about to go to sleep when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the tent.

He called the guard and asked, "Who's making the noise?"

"Several military tents were overturned by the strong wind."

"Is it their first day to go out to fight? Have they never seen wind and snow? Let them put up their tents quietly, or else they will sleep on the snow!"

After a while, it became quiet outside, and Gogol wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep.

After sleeping for a while, the noise started again. Gogol was furious. He just opened the tent and ran into the panicked guards.

"General, there is an enemy attack!"

"Nonsense! Where did the enemy troops come from!" This is not consistent with common sense at all. No one will send troops to fight in such bad weather.

The guards did not dare to defend themselves, but the sounds of fighting gradually came over.

The visibility in the wind and snow was very low, but the camp of a thousand people was not too big. Gogol realized that the guards were not lying and quickly ordered the entire army to meet the enemy.

But this order is not so easy to execute. Gogoch is a third-level believer of Pallas, the god of war (one of the second generation Titans, the natal god of Encia, a member of the Claudesay family). With his powerful Their bodies were still unable to stand firm in the wind and snow, let alone ordinary soldiers. When they struggled to get out of the tent, the enemy troops were already in sight.

They were very tall, at least two feet taller than ordinary people. They were not many in number, probably only about a hundred people. They were not moving very fast, but their formation was very stable, and the wind and snow did not seem to have any interference with them.

Their weapons were fairly sophisticated, including wooden shields and long swords, but their suits were very thin and could not even completely cover their bodies.

It's understandable that they don't have armor. After all, armor is too expensive, but why don't they even have a thick suit? Aren't they afraid of the cold?

Judging from the lines of their bodies, they seemed to be...women?

Gogol had no time to think about it. There were probably more than 300 people gathered around him. While the enemy was still 70 or 80 steps away, he immediately ordered to release arrows.

While the soldiers were firing arrows, Gogol activated the third-level skill of the God of War to drive away the chaos.

The chaos-chasing skill may seem ordinary, but it is extremely effective on the battlefield. This skill can dispel the fear and panic of soldiers, allowing them to accurately execute the general's orders while being calm and relaxed.

Because the skill is activated very covertly, it is difficult for the enemy to find the right time to interfere and destroy it. Encia relied on this powerful skill to maintain the soldier's fighting status during the hard battle.

After the first round of feather arrows, the enemy was not affected.

After the second round of feather arrows, the enemy was still moving forward.

After the third round of feather arrows, the enemy was already within twenty steps, and Gogol ordered his soldiers to form a shield formation to prepare for battle.

The soldiers quickly formed three rows. The first row of soldiers raised their shields, the second row of soldiers pressed against the backs of the first row of soldiers, and the third row of soldiers set up spears on the shoulders of the second row of soldiers.

The soldiers acted very calmly, but Gogol was not so calm. Although the visibility was poor in the wind and snow, he was sure that many arrows hit the enemy.

But he didn't see an enemy soldier fall. He saw an enemy soldier with a few arrows stuck in his body. He still maintained the same pace and followed the army formation to the front neatly.

They also raised their wooden shields, and the shields of the two armies collided.

Gogol ordered a thrust, and the soldiers of the third row thrust out their spears.

Most of the spears pierced the shield, and the feeling was the same as piercing a stone. The spear shaft was bent, leaving only a scratch on the shield.

There were also several spears that pierced the enemy's bodies, but the spear points only penetrated less than an inch. Under their skin, there seemed to be bones as hard as shields.

The most terrifying thing is that they don't know pain. After being injured, their bodies barely react at all, and even their expressions don't change at all.

Gogol took a breath: "This is a living corpse, the living corpse of a giant."

The enemy did not launch a counterattack. They held up their shields and kept pushing forward, allowing the Byers' spears to pierce their flesh again and again.

After a moment of stalemate, the Bayers couldn't hold on any longer. The enemy troops were much higher than them. From top to bottom, they crushed the first row of soldiers holding up their shields.

Without the cover of their shields, the female warriors began to fight back.

They raised their swords and slashed downwards together, with coordinated movements.

Under the vast snow, the blood of the Bayer people spattered everywhere, forming a thin red mist.

Bayer's soldiers were no longer calm, and the third-level skill of the God of War was ineffective because their general Gogoch had escaped.

The general fled, and the soldiers naturally had no possibility of resisting. They struggled to get up, turned around and ran wildly. After running a few steps, someone accidentally fell down, and the people behind accidentally tripped again. A group of people rolled and crawled in the wind and snow. See It works very quickly, but the actual efficiency is appalling.

The "girls" marched in neat steps and pursued in a leisurely manner. Their tactics were very simple - keep moving forward, and their purpose was very clear - kill everyone on sight.

Guatel sat on a girl's shoulder and looked at the battle with a blank expression. The ten-minute hourglass in his hand had not gone through half of it, and the battle was over.

There were more than 300 corpses lying on the ground, and more than 500 Bayers knelt down begging for surrender. Only less than 200 people fled with Gogoch.

Guatel commanded the surrendered Bayers to build a simple altar and pile all the corpses under the altar.

He prayed silently to Hephaestus, and when he received the answer, he lit the pyre under the body.

When the corpse was about to burn, Guatel gave the order: "Half of the people will stay, and the other half will be sacrificed to the God of Fire."

The girls turned their faces neatly and looked at the wailing Bayer people.

Guatel looked at the sky and shouted loudly: "Hephaestus in the flames, please look here. Thank you for giving me this victory. This is my return gift to you!"
