Give Me the Name of God

Manda took Odysseus and Longerson into the underworld. They no longer need to swallow powder and have the ability to fall asleep on their own.

There are certain risks in following Odysseus to the City of Sound. Manda didn't even believe the punctuation mark of what Odysseus said. But since they are traveling through the underworld, the time and place are controlled by Manda, so it is difficult for Odysseus to set up an ambush in advance. Manda is very familiar with the terrain of the City of Sound, so this risk can be taken.

Moreover, if Zhengnan is really missed, the southwest will not be able to escape. Being able to go to the southwest to fight a blocking battle under the cover of Odysseus is already considered the lowest-risk option.

When they arrived at the City of Wonderful Sound, Manda used a mansion he bought in the past as an exit. This mansion had been idle and had become a paradise for rats and spiders.

After waking up the two of them, Manda directly asked Odysseus to take him to the castle. The streets were crowded with people, and many nobles took their belongings and prepared to take refuge in the countryside. From time to time, the shouts of soldiers could be heard in the distance.

Odysseus said with a ferocious look: Two thousand years have never changed. I always know how to enjoy happiness. When fighting, I can run faster than anyone else. When the battle is over, I will come back to pick fruits. I will let you run. Run away from me. Cut one!

When they arrived at the gate of the castle, a guard recognized Manda and shouted in fright: You, you, what do you want to do?

Odysseus frowned and said, You don't even recognize the Minister of State, Marquis Claudesay?

The guards were stunned for a moment and quickly saluted: Marquis Odyssey Arthur! Marquis Claudesay!

The two walked directly into the castle. Whenever they met someone, they would emphasize: This is the Minister of State, the Marquis Claudesay, and this is the General, the Marquis Longessen.

Along the way, no one was suspicious. Odysseus used his skills to tamper with everyone's memories.

There were no high-level believers around Shelty, and it was too easy to manipulate them. When they arrived in the hall, Manda saw Shelty sitting on the throne wearing a crown, with a smile on his face that still held the unique majesty and gloominess.

Hello. Shelty greeted Manda. It seemed that his condition was not too bad.

Hello, Grand Duke Shelty. Manda responded, but Shelty did not respond.

Odysseus reminded from the side: You have to call your Majesty.

Manda quickly changed her words: Your Majesty the King.

Shelty nodded with satisfaction and said, Say your name.

Manda was startled: He doesn't know me?

He wouldn't be a fool if he knew you.

Manda leaned over and saluted: Your Majesty, I am Marquis Claudesay, your minister of state.

Shelty nodded and said: Hello, Marquis Claudesay, hello Minister of State!

Manda muttered, Sounds like two people.

Shelty looked at Lungerson again: Give me your name.

I am General Longson.

Hello, General Longson.

He turned and looked at Odysseus again: Give me your name.

Manda held back her laughter and said, He doesn't even recognize you?

Odysseus took a deep breath and said: Yes, I recognized him before I left. I taught him many times... Forget it, let's talk about the war. Three days ago, I went out of the city to conduct an ambush. The location was chosen. This forest...

Odysseus introduced the ambush battle in detail. Although he repeatedly emphasized that his tactics were outdated, both Manda and Longerson believed that Odysseus' commanding ability was excellent and his location selection was good. If the timing is chosen well and the troops are chosen appropriately, there is almost no chance of a miss.

But in this almost perfect ambush, Odysseus returned defeated.

Pope Madesa is an eighth-level Divine Punishment Warrior. His seventh-level skill is Stone Rain, which drops stones as sharp as arrows from the sky. I have seen this skill and I have taken precautions. I asked the soldiers to wear it. He wears the heaviest armor and engages in hand-to-hand combat, without giving the Pope a chance to use his skills. No matter whether he uses Flowing Flame or Stone Rain, his people will be injured.

But I didn't expect that he still used Stone Rain. The God's Punishment Warrior didn't have many casualties. The casualties were all soldiers from Zhengnan. Their armor was too hard. After the battle started, his Stone Rain never stopped. He seemed to With endless divine power, more than half of our soldiers were quickly killed or injured.

Manda asked: What then?

What's more? Losing more than half of the battle means defeat.

Longgesen said: That means their weapons and equipment are superior to yours.

It's not me, it's us. You are now part of this war. Madesa's weapons and equipment are far superior to ours. I always think that the strength of the previous Pope Kequen exceeded Madesa, but Madesa The army is stronger than it was during the time of Qequen.

Manda shook his head and said: You shouldn't attack rashly. Although the ambush is advantageous, you are giving up the advantage of the city.

I want to test the enemy's strength. If the city defense fails, we will lose our retreat.

Longsen said: How many people do you have left now?

Odysseus frowned: How many times do I have to say it? It's us! We have more than 10,000 soldiers left, and Madesa's strength is about 20,000.

The difference in strength is nothing, Manda said confidently. The advantage of the city is enough to make up for this difference.

Longerson asked again; How are your ordnance prepared?

Odysseus was a little bored: General Rungersen, don't you want to command the battle?

To be honest, I don't think too much about it, Longerson frowned, You didn't make any mistakes, but you still lost. I'm not sure I can do better than you.

Odysseus sighed: Let's go see the ordnance...

When everyone arrived at the top of the city, Manda saw a row of low wooden sheds erected on the city wall.

Is this to resist the stone rain?

Yes, although it is a little simpler, this is the best method I can think of.

Longgesen said: If even the armor can't stop the stone rain, how effective can these pieces of wood be?

The wooden shed can't stop it, and the armor can't stop it, but the wooden shed and the armor together may be able to stop it.

Longerson nodded and said, That's all we can do. Ask the soldiers to find some hay and rags and put them on the roof of the wooden shed. Maybe we can hold on for a while longer.

He looked down the city: What is the distance of Madesa's flame flow technique?

Normally within a hundred steps.

Where's Shi Yuji?

More than five hundred steps.

Dig another trench outside the moat, more than a hundred steps away from the moat.

Odysseus nodded and said: I understand what you mean, but the enemy army will come at any time, and there may not be enough time left for us.

Then we must act quickly. Before the enemy comes, digging an extra foot will be considered a gain. We must use all means and make all preparations we can to have any hope of winning.

…

Three days later, the flag of God's Punisher appeared on the horizon, and Pope Madesa led an army to press against the city of Saraswati.

Manda roughly calculated the number of enemy troops, and found that there were only about 10,000: Does this count as contempt for us?

Longerson shook his head and said: It's not a slight, because we don't know where the other troops are.

Five hundred steps away from the city, the God's Punishment Army stopped.

Pope Madesa is sitting on horseback. Judging from his appearance, he is a middle-aged man in his forties. But according to Odysseus, his actual age should be as old as Pluto and the demigod Akira. Rather, he wore a blue robe, no beard, his hair and eyebrows were golden, and he held a golden scepter more than seven feet long in his hand.

Manda stared at the scepter for a long time. The scepter was only two fingers thick, and at the top was a sword of divine punishment that was more than five inches long. The value of the scepter far exceeded the gold itself.

Is this a decoration? Is it a weapon? Or a divine object?

Odysseus whispered: It should be some kind of divine object. I see that when he performs his skills, he often starts from the scepter. Sometimes he breathes fire, sometimes he emits light. Of course, it can also be used as a weapon. He stabs with the scepter. Many of my soldiers died.

I have never seen the Divine Punishment Warrior need to use a scepter to activate skills. Maybe this scepter can enhance the power of the skills, or it may contain other special powers.

While he was thinking about it, the Pope ordered a general to come forward and read the declaration of war.

The content of the letter of challenge is very simple, with only three sentences:

Before the war begins, you can surrender and all the crimes you have committed will be forgotten!

While the war is ongoing, you can surrender and the crimes you have committed will be judged leniently!

After the war is over, you are not allowed to surrender. All those who resist will be executed!

The general used singing skills, and the loud sound caused severe pain in the eardrums, and many soldiers were vomiting.

Lungerson asked Manda: Do you want to surrender?

Manda looked at Odysseus: What do you think?

Although he knew it was just a joke, Odysseus still looked at Manda with contempt: Why don't you spit in Longson's face?

Lungerson ordered the preparation of trebuchets.

Upon seeing this, the Pope struck the ground with his scepter and shouted: The war begins!

This muffled roar was like thunder, and even Manda felt the powerful impact. A soldier who was responsible for controlling the trebuchet accidentally fell down and hit his head on the stone, causing a bloody head.

Seeing that the God's Punishment Army was still standing neatly on the spot, Longgesen ordered a battle. More than fifty trebuchets were launched at the same time, and a large piece of stone rushed towards the enemy's formation.

The pope poked his scepter, and the flying stones shattered in the air one after another, as if they hit a wall.

Shield? Sixth level skill?

The attack range of the stone covered almost the entire military formation. How could the range of his shield be so large?

Is this the power of the Pope?

Manda tightened her eyes of insight and saw that the Pope's divine power was being continuously fed into the scepter. The scepter indeed enlarged the scope of the skill, but this divine power came from the Pope himself.

After a round of flying rocks, Longerson ordered the attack to be suspended.

Don't waste stones, wait until the opponent crosses the trench and then fight back.

Seeing that the stone throwing stopped, the Pope raised his scepter, stopped the sixth level skill, and switched to the seventh level skill.

A dark cloud gathered at the top of the city, and Odysseus said: The rain of stones is coming!

Longerson ordered the soldiers to get into the wooden shed. He, Manda, and Odysseus were still standing at the top of the city.

Sharp gravel fell one after another. Even though thick hay was laid, the wooden shed was still riddled with holes. Fortunately, with this buffer, the shields and armor of the soldiers hiding in the lower room of the wooden shed were not penetrated.

The three people standing outside the wooden shed were unscathed. The gravel was bounced away before hitting them. It seemed that there was a shield protecting them.

The Pope frowned. Could it be that some of them also know how to use shields?

Are there seventh-level divine punishment warriors among the enemy troops?

How can this be? There is only one seventh-level warrior in the Romuru Kingdom, and that is Bucken.

Could it be that……
