Give Me the Name of God

Don't start a war? Why such a strange request? Was Hermes a pacifist? When it's time to fight, it seems He never shows mercy.

Furthermore, what is the definition of war?

If you get angry one day and have a fight with Medusa, does that count as being involved in a war?

Faced with Manda's question, Hermes was extremely dissatisfied: Do you think I am the kind of god who cares about words? As long as a large-scale battle does not involve an army, it is not a war. Pan will give you a reminder when the time comes.

In addition, before you take over the Romulu Kingdom, all wars are allowed. Seize the opportunity and fight quickly. Don't let me wait too long, and don't let yourself wait too long.

Pan passed through the needle's eye and sent Manda and the Sphinx back to the mortal world, out of the sight of Hermes. The ferocious Sphinx wanted to swallow Manda in one bite. Along the way, Manda repeatedly Remind the Sphinx: For Typhon's safety, you must stay calm.

The exit is a bit far from the City of Wonderful Sound. Because of the psychological shadow of the three-headed dog, Manda did not go to the underworld. She originally wanted to use her flying boots to fly there, but the Sphinx didn't want to fly.

Once the wings are exposed, it is equivalent to using power. For the next month, I will be just an ordinary person.

This restriction was really harsh. Manda wanted to take the Sphinx to fly, but was worried that he might be scheming along the way, so he simply hired a carriage and headed to the City of Wonderful Sound with both of them on guard.

After the war, the outside of the city was desolate, with destroyed houses everywhere and many refugees begging for food.

Manda was accustomed to this, and the Sphinx had no feelings for mortals. Until the carriage came to the city, Manda's dull expression suddenly became a little excited.

An army was entering the city, and the driver was so frightened that he almost drove the car into the moat: God bless, is there going to be another war?

Manda took out a silver coin, comforted the coachman and said, Don't be afraid, tell me which god you believe in?

“Whoever protects me, I will believe in.”

Do you know where this army is?

It doesn't matter where the army is from, if they come they will do no good.

That's not necessarily the case! Manda smiled and jumped off the carriage. This was his army, the army from the southwest.

No need to ask, Longgesen must have transferred the southwest army to Wonderful Sound City, and his good subordinates who know how to look after things are helping Manda harvest the territory.

The Sphinx got out of the car a little slower, and the driver's smile made him uncomfortable.

Along the way, the coachman often showed him a strange smile, which made the Sphinx feel deeply hostile.

After entering the city, more and more people smiled at the Sphinx. Everyone's smile was weird. Manda gradually understood the reason. From the aesthetic point of view of normal people, the Sphinx was A rare beauty in the world.

The Sphinx has been away from the world for so long that he can only feel the hostility in his eyes, but not the love in his eyes.

When they arrived at Sheltai's castle, Longgesen, who was busy, was stunned and stared at the Sphinx for a long time.

The general who is not a womanizer has changed his gender?

No, this time it was real hostility, there was murderous intent in Longgesen.

Although the Sphinx hid its aura, the oppression of the True God gave Longerson a sense of confrontation.

Go and guard the door for me, don't let anyone in. Manda quickly sent the Sphinx away and asked about the situation of the battle.

In fact, Manda already knew the battle situation well. On Mount Olympia, he would observe the mortal world every day.

He knew that Madesa had led his army to sea, and he also knew that Roma had led Bayer's army south to fight against Baccon.

Backen, who was surrounded by enemies from both sides, could not hold on for long. In less than half a year, Manda would own the entire Romulu country.

Lungerson also realized this and gave Manda two pieces of advice.

If you want to be a king, you must reshape your identity. A noble will never support an illegitimate child, let alone the child of a slave.

“How do I reshape my identity?”

First of all, we need to create a legend, a legend about your father. Your father cannot be a human, but must be a familiar god. Your natal god is a good choice.

You can say that Hermes came to the mortal world, fell in love with your mother and gave birth to you. Your mother’s identity is also very important. She was not a slave, but a princess. In order not to bring shame to the royal family, she escaped to Backcountry, he joined the Claudesay family as a slave.

Manda nodded. He had read many similar stories in the divine genealogy, and he had also read many similar stories in history books about past lives.

It's a little too complicated.

This may not work yet, Longgesen said. Even if this legend is deeply rooted in people's hearts, you still have to kill most of the nobles. They will hold on to your identity and use the most vicious methods to create trouble for you. gossip.

Manda hesitated for a moment and said, What if I don't want to be the king?

That's simpler, Longgesen said. The most direct way is to continue to maintain Shelty's status as king, imprison him in the palace, and prevent him from contacting the nobles. And you can use your status as minister of state to slowly Slow takes over the power of the entire kingdom.

Manda shook his head and said: For others, this is a good idea, but Sheltai is too dangerous. Odysseus said that he will recover in a year. As long as he comes into contact with the army, Rom can be killed at any time. The country of Lu was turned upside down.

Longsen thought for a long time and said: Then use two methods together. First, let Shelty be the puppet king. After you take over the power of the kingdom, let him abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

Manda smiled when he heard this: You really want me to be the king?

Longerson leaned over and saluted: I can't wait to call you Your Majesty. Of course, if you must retain the status of Shelty's puppet, you don't need to be the minister of state. You can also be the archbishop.

Manda blushed: You know?

Everyone knows that Madesa received the news from the Holy Kingdom and spread it immediately.

I refused, I refused on the spot!

It's not a big deal, Longgesen said with a clear face. You have become the leader of the God's Punishers. You can eliminate the conflicts between the God's Punishers and the believers of the ancient gods, and you can bring peace to Romulu Country.

Peace, what I want most is peace, Manda sighed, But I will never be an archbishop. Before the war is over, let's send Shertai back to the royal capital.

Longgesen shook his head: It's too early. It's not too late to send him away after the war is over. You also know the significance of the royal capital. There will be danger in sending him there too early.

I'll go with him. It's more dangerous to leave him here. Zhengnan has always been his home base. Besides, I miss the royal capital a little. The war can last at least half a year. I can just test how many wings he has.

The Royal Capital is indeed a nostalgic place. Although it has been devastated by war, the prosperity of the past has not faded. Walking on the spacious streets makes you feel much better.

Manda did not dare to go to the underworld, so she led a team of people to the royal capital. The lion girl set out from Qixing Mountain. She flew and arrived a few days before Manda.

She cleaned the former Chief Sheriff's residence from top to bottom, and thought she would spend a happy time with Manda in her former residence, but when she saw Manda, most of her good mood disappeared in an instant.

There was a woman beside Manda, and she was a very beautiful woman.

Although Horna believed that her appearance was not inferior to hers, this woman had an aura that made people jealous.

Forget it, anyway, she never expected Manda to be devoted to her, nor did she want to know the origin of this woman. Two days later, Moira and Medusa also returned to the capital from the north. When they saw the Sphinx, Moira La was also a little jealous, but Medusa's reaction was quite different.

She straightened her body, her hair stood up, her pupils turned into a line, and she mumbled words in disobedience.

Ah You……

As soon as Medusa opened her mouth, Manda stepped forward and blocked her mouth. She almost suffocated Medusa to death because of her excessive force.

Manda forced a smile and said in Medusa's ear: This is Josephine, my new friend. Isn't she very beautiful? You will become friends!

Judging from Manda's appearance, she should know the identity of the Sphinx. Medusa took Manda outside the mansion and gritted her teeth and said: How dare you provoke her? Are you crazy with greed? Can't you find another woman? ?”

This was not my intention.

Do you know how dangerous she is?

Don't worry, she doesn't dare to hurt me. She can still protect me in critical moments. Try not to contact her. Don't say a word to her unless necessary.

…

Shelty stayed in the palace for two days, and more than sixty nobles came to see him.

Not to mention his relatives, not to mention his old friends from the southeast, the nobles who originally belonged to the royal capital behaved differently.

Because of Shertai's special situation, Manda only allowed him to show up once. Some people saw him once and then left. However, there were still many nobles waiting at the entrance of the palace, saying that they had important matters that they must report to His Majesty the King alone.

These people should be regarded as Sheltai's die-hard loyalists, and Manda will have to spend some time to defeat them all.

It's a pity that Bucken didn't give him a chance.

Manda thought the war would last for half a year, but a month later, under the fierce attack of Roma, Bucken abandoned the last city and fled to the West with thousands of remaining soldiers to the Canglang Kingdom.

Ever since the old king fell out with the God Punisher, the war that had lasted for several years in the Romulu Kingdom had come to an end.

Now that the war is over, does Manda take over the power of the entire kingdom?

It seems a bit arbitrary to draw a direct conclusion, but it is true that no one in the entire kingdom disobeyed Manda's decree.

Except for one group of people, the Baers brought by Roma.

Roma sent several letters one after another, and the Bayers got a little out of control.

They refused to return to Bayer Country and wanted to stay in the north.

It seems that the war is not over yet, and they must be taught a lesson.

Manda summoned the army and asked Roma to prepare for internal and external cooperation. However, the night before sending out the army, Manda suddenly received the oracle from the old goat.

You have taken charge of the power of Romulus. From today until this time next year, Romulus cannot be involved in any war.
