Previously, like everyone else, Manda had a misunderstanding. He believed that only high-level believers could have the strength to keep artifacts.


    But he soon realized that strength is a very complex concept. Although the strength of high-level believers is strong, it can not be greater than the Lord of a country after all.


    The king was a believer of Zeus. He had a strong desire for artifact, and he also had the strength to protect artifact, which was recognized by Zeus.


    The only problem is that the king''s class should not be high and it is difficult to resist the erosion of artifacts.


    But it doesn''t matter. There must be talented people around the king to help him find a way to resist erosion. Even if he can''t resist, it has nothing to do with Manda.


    Seeing the shield of aegis and the lightning scepter, the king''s sweat flowed from his forehead to his heels. He was so excited that he almost forgot his identity. He almost plunged into the wooden box.


    He struggled to restrain his impulse and asked the guards to carry the wooden box to the treasure house. After a long recovery, he finally spoke:


    "Craig munchke, what reward do you want?"


    Manda did not look up. At the moment, he was not completely out of danger, because it was difficult to guess the king''s mind.


    "Your Majesty, my only wish is to serve a great monarch forever and will not change from generation to generation."


    generation after generation! Forever!


    These two words made the king''s body tremble uncontrollably.


    "Sheriff Stanton in the east of the city is too reckless. Sheriff Hobbes in the west of the city is the running dog of the divine Punisher. Sheriff donock in the north of the city is a loyal and honest man, but he lacks some wisdom. The king needs a chief sheriff. This position will belong to you."


    Manda quickly knelt down and said, "thank you, your great majesty!"


    The king didn''t hurry to let Manda stand up. He pulled out his sword and came to Manda.


    This makes Manda very nervous. Doesn''t he want to kill people?


    If he really dares to do so, Manda can only fight for one life and become a regicide.


    Mandador was worried. The king put his sword on his shoulder and whispered, "your title is not worthy of your official position. I want you to see my generosity. I officially canonize you as the count as the master of Romulus. In three days, there will be a canonization ceremony for you!"


    Three days later, in the most majestic Golden Lion Hall of the palace, the ceremony arrived as scheduled. Under the eyes of officials in the capital of the king, Manda won the title of the king. She not only became an earl, but also received the family emblem given by the king.


    In order to distinguish from the Marquis munchke''s family, the king designed a new family emblem for Manda, which is shaped like a spear, symbolizing loyalty and bravery.


    "Your Majesty, praise your greatness, your generosity and your glory!"


    The king tapped Manda on the shoulder with his long sword and said with a smile, "count munchke, praise your loyalty, praise your bravery, praise the great lord of the gods."


    "Er..."


    Manda trembled instinctively, and the Golden Lion hall was silent.


    There was no divine Punisher at the scene, and many people knew that the king was a believer of Zeus.


    But he praised the Lord of the gods in public, which exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    In longson''s view, the king is changing his attitude, and he will take more severe measures against God punishers.


    In the view of the government minister, the king was bewitched by crafty and crafty people and had some impulsive ideas.


    In the eyes of other ministers, the king seemed to have suppressed for too long and wanted to vent his emotions.


    Only Manda knows the real reason. Zeus''s artifact is too aggressive.


    After the canonization, the king read another document and appointed Manda as the chief sheriff. All the sheriffs in the four regions of the royal capital had to accept his jurisdiction. At the same time, it also marked that Manda had entered the second echelon of the royal capital bureaucracy.


    This made the ministers even more surprised. It was unreasonable to confer a young man of civilian origin as an earl. Now he was given such a high official position, and the king''s mind was beyond speculation.


    No one knows what spell Manda used to make the king appreciate him so much. There are some costs behind the huge profits, but these costs are insignificant for Manda.


    First, there was some estrangement between him and the general. Longersen was very satisfied that Manda intercepted the weapon of the punisher, but he didn''t know what kind of weapon the king could give him such a rich reward.


    He once asked Manda, but Manda kept silent. This was the king''s order. He could not disclose the truth to anyone. Although longson expressed understanding, it was inevitable that he had a grudge.


    Second, he was hated by bucken. When bucken lost his weapon and munchke was promoted, it was easy to connect the two things.


    Bucken discovered the "truth", but he did not agree with the "truth" seen by the king. Manda made a lot of money between lies and real dreams.


    He got rid of the artifact of Zeus and won the title and official position. The harvest was more than that.


    The protection of the artifact by the king was also recognized by Zeus. From the old goat''s mouth, Manda learned that Hermes appreciated this action very much. On the night of canonization, his experience increased by a full 30%.


    The next main task is to prevent bucken''s counterattack, but bucken is not in the mood to pay Manda now, and a greater opportunity is coming.


    More than 10000 refugees from the South arrived at the foot of the city two days later.


    Manda has seen refugees, but she has never seen such a huge refugee. She is ragged, yellow and skinny. She has lost all hope for life, but her primitive survival instinct is very strong.


    Standing on the head of the city, watching more than 10000 walking corpses crashing madly against the city gate, Manda seemed to see the coming of the end.


    The king was not unprepared for this. He discussed the countermeasures with long Gesen in advance: open the city gate, let the refugees enter the king''s capital, awaken their faith in the ancient gods in the name of the Lord of the gods, unite the refugees and take the opportunity to expel the divine punishers.


    Longesen has prepared the weapons accumulated for many years. These weapons are enough to arm an army of nearly 10000 people. If the plan of the grand general can be implemented, the archbishop is bound to be driven out of the king''s capital. Next, longesen will start the hunt and kill operation and cut off the Archbishop''s head before he leaves Roma.


    As long as you see the head of the archbishop, the local lords will see the king''s attitude. As long as the Romulus country is united, it is enough to resist the counterattack of the divine punishment holy country. Only one victory can mobilize the fighting spirit of all countries on the mainland, and the era of divine punishment rule will come to an end.


    What a perfect plan, but it was just a plan. When the news leaked out, the nobles of the capital immediately stood up and strongly opposed the king''s opening the gate.


    "Your Majesty, once the refugees enter the city, burn, kill and loot, they will turn the kings into Purgatory on earth!"


    "Your Majesty, there may be spies and even soldiers among the refugees. Once you enter the city, it will threaten your safety!"


    "Your Majesty, the refugees entering the city will threaten the granary of the king''s capital, and the civilians of the king''s capital will starve and even trigger riots!"


    The nobles certainly didn''t want the refugees to enter the city, because they must be the first to suffer, and the king didn''t care about their life or death. As long as the refugees rushed into the king''s capital, all the nobles would be looted.


    As for the risks they said, they are indeed possible, but relative to the benefits behind them, this risk is worth bearing.


    But the king hesitated. He wanted to think about it for a few more days. During this period, he asked longersen to try to stabilize the mood of the refugees.


    The mood of the refugees was difficult to stabilize. What they wanted was food, but the king refused to open the granary.


    At this time, no one thought that barken had helped longson.
