Give Me the Name of God

Manda's first target was the Minister of Finance. Although he was a second-tier official, his family background was much richer than that of the General and the Minister of State.

Refugees besieged the city, and the Finance Minister could not return to his outer residence. However, there were nearly a hundred servants and bodyguards in the residence, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

In order to get rid of suspicion, Manda and others put on the clothes of refugees. Leo still wore the robe of God's Punisher and could grab food for the refugees. He didn't care about offending these nobles.

Late at night, the operation began. Manda promised Leo not to kill anyone as much as possible, but as soon as they entered the house, Lion Girl and Moira killed more than a dozen servants. Leo was deeply indignant at Manda's barbaric behavior, but he saw more than a dozen people. There was a corpse, and other people in the mansion gave up resistance on the spot.

Proper bleeding will reduce more casualties, Manda smiled, Master Deacon, can you appreciate the wisdom in this?

According to the previous agreement, Manda asked for money and Leo asked for food, and neither party was disappointed.

Manda found more than three thousand gold coins in the finance minister's outer house, not including various gold objects and jewelry.

Leo found more than 20,000 pounds of grain in the outer house. In the absence of a carriage, he dispatched a hundred monks to transport the grain.

A refugee could receive twenty pounds of grain, which allowed a thousand refugees to leave the royal capital. Leo, who participated in the robbery for the first time, had mixed feelings. He knelt on the ground and confessed all night. The strong sense of guilt made him I can't get a moment's peace of mind.

What's worse is that there is another feeling that is even more powerful than the guilt, like a ball of fire burning from the chest to the throat, and then from the throat to the top of the head.

At dawn, Leo, who looked haggard, found Manda and said with a tangled expression: Let's do it again.

Manda looked at Leo in astonishment and yelled angrily: I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! The Lord will punish you!

Leo remained silent. Manda looked around, took out the map, pointed at one of them and said, Let's go here tonight.

Whose villa is this? Leo's face showed unconcealable excitement.

The Sheriff of the west side of the city, Hobbes.

Leo suddenly lost interest: I am very familiar with Hobbes. He is an honest official.

Manda smiled and said, Really?

Leo thought for a moment and said: Even if he is greedy for a little money occasionally, he will not have much wealth. He is just a peace officer.

Manda curled her lips and said, Really?

He is a believer in the Lord, and I believe in his character! Leo said with a stubborn face, If you don't believe me, let's go and have a look tonight. I even doubt that he has an outhouse at all!

Late at night, Manda took Leo to the Sheriff's outhouse. Leo was dumbfounded on the spot when he saw the scale of the mansion.

It doesn't matter how big an official is, sometimes it depends on his power. For ordinary people, bribing a magistrate is much more affordable than those unattainable ministers.

Although this outhouse was a bit remote, it was larger than the Finance Minister's outhouse. Before the robbery, Leo closed his eyes and prepared to repent.

But after a while, he opened his eyes, gave up repentance, and said to Manda: Do it, the Lord will not blame me!

In five days, Manda ransacked all the ministers' outer residences and harvested more than 17,000 gold coins. Leo harvested more than 100,000 pounds of grain, and with funding from the church, they successfully persuaded more than 10,000 victims to leave.

The blame was placed on the God's Punisher and the victims, and Manda returned to the capital to receive the credit without any guilt.

But the king had no intention of rewarding Manda. There were still refugees pouring in from the south. The number of refugees under the royal capital once again approached 30,000. There was only one way to send them away, and that was to open the granary.

But this time Manda didn't make any suggestions. He just watched silently, watching the decision of the king and the minister of state.

The reason is simple, someone will speak for him.

Archbishop Howitt did not want the refugees to invade the royal capital, and the nobles did not want it even more. Their outer residences had been looted. In addition to being heartbroken, they and the archbishop remonstrated with the king and requested that the granary be opened immediately.

I have to admire the strength of the Minister of State. Even at this stage, he still did not change his mind and allowed the king to make a decision with only a few words.

The royal capital's granary cannot be moved, and the refugees have to rely on their own hands to survive.

This ridiculous and outrageous decision finally ignited the anger of the nobles, but they did not expect that they would resist so fiercely.

With the support of the archbishop, they led their servants to forcibly capture the granary, removed one million pounds of grain from the granary, and sent it outside the city.

The process was violent and the ending was perfect. The only unfortunate thing was that Manda was implicated. He was the chief peace officer of the capital.

This happened! This happened! the king roared, My granary was robbed, Kretsch Monchik, how can you have the dignity to stand here and talk to me!

It is indeed embarrassing. Logically speaking, Manda should take the blame and resign.

But he didn't want to do it. The ministers involved in the robbery said it was not their fault. Why should Manda take responsibility for this?

No matter in any era, the thickness of the skin determines the upper limit of a person. Manda promised the king on the spot: Give me a month, and I will kill all the villains involved in the robbery, whether he is a noble or a divine punisher!

After saying this, the Minister of State could not sit still.

Your Majesty, the ministers made such a mistake for the safety of the royal capital. As for the archbishop, I heard that he also opened the granary of the cathedral. He was also bent on resolving the crisis caused by the refugees to make up for it. Bucken’s mistake.”

Make up for it? Do you think such a mistake can be made up for? the king shouted, Bucken tried to kill the king. Unless you see his head, nothing will be enough to make up for his crime!

The Minister of State said with red eyes: This is not the archbishop's fault. It was him who sent us the news in time. Have you forgotten?

I can live to this day, and I should be grateful to the Lord of the Gods for his blessing. Do I still need to thank that bad old man?

Manda secretly observed the king's expression. The erosion of the artifact seemed to have brought some changes to him. He was not so easy to accept the opinions of the Minister of State.

But the Minister of State Affairs did not give up. He sobbed softly: Will this crack never be repaired? Will the royal capital never return to its former peace?

The king fell silent, and Manda guessed the outcome.

Without a second thought, the king accepted the advice of the Minister of State and dropped the matter.

But Manda gained another important piece of information. The Minister of State not only likes to solve problems in a gentle way, he also likes peace. Even if it is only a superficial peace, he will spare no effort to maintain it.

Since you can't judge his thoughts logically, you can only grasp some of his characteristics. As long as you master enough, you can naturally find a way to get along with him.

Go, Sheriff, the king ordered. You have food. Send the refugees away.

One million pounds of grain gave Manda and Leo absolute control, as Bucken's stockpile of grain was running out.

He only has more than 10,000 refugees left on his hands, and these refugees may not remain loyal.

There was not much time left for him, so he decided to gather all his strength and attack the royal capital.

He plans to take action tomorrow night. This time he will not be so cautious. As soon as the Long Fengxiao warriors leave the gate of the royal capital, he will immediately send out the God's Punishment Army to entangle them, and then let the God's Punishment Army hidden in the city attack the palace. .

Late at night, Bucken returned to the tent early to rest, and he wanted to gather energy for the battle tomorrow night.

But he never dreamed that while he was sleeping, two divine punishment warriors sneaked into his tent and stabbed him more than a dozen times.

Archbishop Horwitt took the first step.
