Give Me the Name of God

Typhon's celebrations lasted day and night.

The chant of the Lord of Divine Punishment never stops.

Going west from Drawshaft City and walking out of two towns, you will reach the territory of Bucken. Bucken transformed the lord's castle into a church and accepted pilgrims from believers from all over the world every day.

These believers have been suppressed in the north for too long. They traveled across mountains and rivers and risked their lives to come here just to see the true face of the Archbishop and pray to the Lord under the leadership of the Archbishop.

In the same two months, Bucken gathered more than 10,000 believers. Drawing City and the surrounding villages and towns were like an arena, where the Lord of Divine Punishment and Typhon launched a competition to recruit believers.

The more exciting the contest between the two sides was, the more the embarrassment of Marquis Nars was highlighted. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that this was his territory, but he could only wander in the wilderness.

He once asked Archduke Denke for help, and Grand Duke Denke gave him great support and sent him a large amount of food and clothes.

What is this going to do? Let him spend the winter in the wilderness?

In fact, Nars knew in his heart that this was Denke's consistent approach. If you want to go to war, I will give you support, but there will be no substantial support until the war actually starts.

In other words, Denke will never send troops before Nars actually starts fighting.

This made Nars anxious. He wanted to take the territory back, but he couldn't afford to lose. If all the more than 10,000 soldiers were defeated, Nars would have nothing.

But the entire north was watching, and there was only one person who wanted to help him, and that was the former general Longgesen.

Longesen himself is also a marquis. His territory is in Frostflower City, the northern border of the kingdom. In addition to this city, he also owns four small towns.

The territory is not small, but due to neglect, the population in the territory is not large, and the number of soldiers and horses he can muster is no more than 3,000. Even so, he is still confident to help Nars take back Drawsha City.

But his friend, Lord Kalyan of Smokestone, stopped him.

Kalyan came to Frostflower City in person and warned Longson not to act rashly: Don't use your soldiers before getting the permission of the Grand Duke. Your territory is too far from Drawsha City. Long-distance raids are a taboo in combat, and you also To lead soldiers and horses through other lords’ territories is a provocation in itself for Denke.”

Provocation? Longerson sneered, Does he still care about provocation? Bucken stretched his hand to the door of his house. Doesn't this count as provocation?

Kalyan picked up the wine glass and said: As far as I know, the ones who really occupied Drawsha City are the followers of the Demon God from the Valley of Resentment.

Longson laughed and said: This is really ridiculous. Demon God believers and God's Punishers actually coexist peacefully in the City of Drawing. Do you think I will believe such a stupid joke? This is Bucken's conspiracy!

No matter whose conspiracy it is, as long as Nars doesn't start a war, no one else can interfere. This is the rule of Grand Duke Denke.

Rules, what good rules! Longerson sighed, I can foresee the outcome of this matter. The weak Nars never dared to take action. Bucken suddenly left the city and annihilated all his soldiers in one battle. , the weak northern princes hesitated to advance, and were defeated by Bucken one by one, until they collapsed. I have seen this kind of thing too many times!

Kalyan shrugged and said: I can predict another ending. The northern princes help Nars fight in a bloody battle, and Nars conserves his strength and watches from the sidelines. When the princes and God Punisher fight until both sides are injured, he will take action to kill. Quartet, by that time, he may even become the new Grand Duke.”

Longerson closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, Using his own territory as a bet?

Kalyan smiled and said, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. Let's not talk about Nars. Have you heard? The Grand Duke of Shelty and the Grand Duke of Besaliu in the south are planning to form an alliance.

So what if I heard about it? Longsen was not interested in this.

Both Sheltai and Besalyu are important figures. Together, they will become the most powerful alliance in the kingdom.

Longgesen shook his head and said: They are all strong men. As for their alliance, I'm afraid I can blow them apart by blowing hard.

Sheltai is a tough guy, why do you think he is willing to accept the Besa-ryu covenant?

It's just a joke. I just want to give Bucken some shock.

I'm afraid this is not a show, Kalyan said with a mysterious face, It is said that Count Craig Monchik manipulated all this.

Kretsch Monchik? Longerson's expression was full of mixed emotions. He had a very special impression of this young man. He had some admiration, some trust, some defensiveness and disgust towards him.

When he was transferred to the royal capital, he thought he had found a right-hand man for the king, but he didn't expect that all the loyalty he showed to the royal family was fake.

If he had manipulated this alliance, there might have been different results. He could always bring unexpected surprises to people.

But the question is, with his status, how could he control the two Grand Dukes? He was not even qualified to speak in front of the Grand Duke.

Seeing that Longson was a little distracted, Kalyan asked: I heard that he was your subordinate when he was in the royal capital?

Longerson shook his head and said: He is not one of my subordinates. I am not so lucky.

Do you know this person?

I don't understand. There is not a single word of truth in this person's mouth.

It is said that even his name is not true, Carrean laughed. The Marquis of Monchique (the real Marquis of Monchique, a noble from the north) has clarified to the Grand Duke Denke that there is no such person in their family. .”

Longerson blinked and said: He didn't lie about this. He always emphasized that he had nothing to do with Marquis Monchik, they just had the same surname. But at that time, I didn't believe him.

Kalyan said: The Grand Duke also found out his true identity. His surname is not Monchik, his surname is Claudesay, and his name is Manda Claudesay. He is one of the vassals of Viscount Saurons of Iron Mountain Town - —The illegitimate son of Baron Claudesay.

Longson frowned and said, Why does Archduke Denke care about this person?

He doesn't care about this person, but he cares about this matter. There are only three grand dukes in the kingdom, and two grand dukes have already formed an alliance. This means that Denke is isolated. He wants to renegotiate the alliance with this young earl. , either the three Grand Dukes form an alliance together, or they just pretend that nothing happened.

Lungerson was a little curious: What did he use to threaten Krejci... I mean Manda Claudesay?

Sorens handed over Baron Claudesay and his family to Grand Duke Denke. If Manda Claudesay does not agree to the Grand Duke's request, the Grand Duke will make his life experience public and kill all his family members.

Longerson took a deep breath: It turns out what he really cares about is his family.

…

At the foot of the Candinaya Mountains, the town of Bitter Water, located at the junction of the due south and southeast, ushered in a special day. Lord Viscount Sirako had been busy for ten days and finally prepared for this ceremony.

But when the ceremony began, he didn't even have a seat. This was an alliance ceremony between two grand dukes, and even the marquis from the two places were not qualified to sit and watch the ceremony.

But Manda could sit, and he stamped the seal of Shertai on the covenant on behalf of the Grand Duke of Shertai.

Looking at the flags flying outside the castle, the lion girl sighed: He is sitting in such a high position, but there is no clan emblem belonging to him here.

Roma was also expressing dissatisfaction in sign language: At least there must be a flag that belongs to us. They despise us too much.

Che Erdan thought it didn't matter: What does it matter if we have a clan emblem? There is no clan emblem belonging to us in this world.

Chuitt said: The emblem of the Monchik family was given to us by the king.

Che Erdan shrugged and said, So what? Is our master's surname Monchik?

Under the witness of the king, Manda and Besaliu made an oath together. At this point, Zhengnan and Southeast formed an alliance. Under the leadership of the new king Tikas, they jointly declared war on the false king and traitors in the royal capital.

After the alliance was formed, in accordance with the deployment of the Minister of State Lessio, Zhengnan and Southeast began to gather troops and horses, allocate money and food, and prepare for the next war.

But Manda gave an unsatisfactory answer: I can only do my best in this matter.

Besaliu frowned and said, You want to go back on your word just after the covenant was established? Have you forgotten your oath? Have you forgotten the majesty of His Majesty?

Where do you start talking about this? Manda shook his head and said, I am loyal to His Majesty, and I will never turn back on my oath, but I am just a count. No matter how much Grand Duke Shelty trusts me, he cannot change my identity.

Lessio knew Manda well: So what do you want?

Manda shrugged his eyebrows and said: I think His Majesty the King can change some things. The status of a marquis is not too much to ask for.
