Manda squatted in the grass beside the official road and thought over the tactics in her mind.


    If there are no more than 100 people who have escaped from the divine punishment army, it will be perfect. Kill them as much as possible, and then go back to receive the merit.


    If there are no more than 500 people, we should also seriously fight a war and kill as many as we can.


    If the enemy force has more than 500 people but less than 1000 people, it can only fight a symbolic battle. Although it takes advantage of the ambush, it is hard to say whether the other party will win or lose.


    If the other party''s strength exceeds a thousand, Manda decides to stand still and let them go as if she didn''t see anything. The general of the Golden Lion Iron Guard has been shivering. He doesn''t look like he wants to fight. Afterwards, he only needs to have a tacit understanding and give the king a reasonable explanation.


    From midnight until dawn, Manda was frozen and no one was seen on the road.


    From dawn to noon, in the warm sun, the frozen Manda was warmed, but she still didn''t see half of the divine punishment army.


    It was not until the afternoon that the news came from Wangdu Li. The battle was over, Archbishop Howitt died, some divine punishment troops broke through from the north of the city, and the rest were completely destroyed.


    According to witnesses, Howitt died with dignity and left no chance for the king to insult his body.


    The battle of the king''s capital is over. As for the king''s oath


    On the same day, the king ordered to arrest all God punishing believers and send them to the north of the city. Longson was worried that the king would release them. After all, he vowed to the God in public that he would not hurt innocent God punishers.


    But the king offered them as sacrifices to Zeus and gave a reasonable explanation: "no one is innocent. He was born with original sin. This is not what I said. This is the doctrine of God punishing the church."


    Tens of thousands of divine punishers died on the altar. Hundreds of priests were busy for several days. Everyone changed dozens of knives.


    For several days, the king was covered with clouds, lightning and thunder. Manda was really worried about the king. He didn''t know whether it was recognized by Zeus or whether it was a reward or punishment waiting for the king.


    The king can''t make any mistakes. Manda is still waiting for the king''s order. Stanley has captured three towns in a row. It''s almost time for Manda to go back to "suppress the bandits".


    But the king disappeared for nearly a month. No one knew what he had done in that month. When Manda was summoned to the palace, he found that the king had changed.


    The king was originally a third-order believer of Zeus, but this time, judging by the value of God''s blood stone, the king has risen to the fourth order.


    He was rewarded by Zeus, that is to say, this human sacrifice was recognized by Zeus.


    The king, who was successfully promoted, was in a good mental state. When he ordered to continue to arrest the punishers, he finally remembered the things in the southwest.


    "Roman Wilkins has two more towns, count munchke. Your former ally is really powerful."


    Manda didn''t dare to say anything. The king looked at longson and said, "what''s Almon doing? Just look at it?"


    Just as longersen was about to speak, the Minister of state suddenly interrupted, "Your Majesty, marquis Almon wants to withdraw."


    "Really?" the king sneered. "Don''t even bother to look? He''s so arrogant?"


    The minister said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis Almon has just sent a message. The Wolf Kingdom has sent an army to wander around Blackwater city."


    The king was stunned: "they want to go to war? Why? We haven''t had a conflict with the wolf country for many years."


    "I guess the Wolf Kingdom has received the news that we are fighting against the divine Punisher. They think the war will not end easily. They may want to make some money from it."


    The king frowned, and the minister''s conjecture was very reasonable. The war will not end easily. There are still a large number of divine punishers in China, and the pope may send troops at any time. If the wolf country intervenes again, the whole kingdom will be in danger.


    "The internal worries have not subsided, so we must not add foreign aggression. Let elmeng go back. This time it is related to the safety of the Kingdom and the survival of his territory. Ask him to make full preparations for war. When necessary, the kingdom will give him support."


    Manda''s face was expressionless, but her inner joy almost jumped out of her chest. Whether it was true or false, elmeng gave him a perfect assist.


    The Minister of state reminded, "Your Majesty, the southwest needs stability."


    It''s another assist. Manda is really curious about why the Government Secretary is so friendly to himself.


    The king nodded and said, "as you said before, whoever''s fault will bear it, count munchke. No matter what happened in the past, it all started because of you. You immediately go back to the southwest and wipe out Roman Wilkins''s rebels."


    Manda got up and said solemnly, "I''d like to fight for your glory."


    "Don''t be so anxious. I haven''t finished yet. I have issued an order to destroy all the divine punishers in the Kingdom, not only Roman Wilkins, but also all the divine punishers around your territory. If bucken is really near grey fish town, I must see his head. This is your mission."


    Manda saluted deeply and said, "I should do my best."


    "Nothing. Do your best. As long as you live, you can''t let him leave alive. Do you understand?"


    "Yes!" Manda responded loudly. He clenched his fist and tried to restrain his excitement. After staying in Wangdu for a whole year, he was finally going home.


    After leaving the palace, Manda immediately packed her bags. In the afternoon, Stanton made a special trip to the door to give Manda a farewell party. Manda declined. He wanted to leave the capital immediately. If he delayed for another moment, the king might repent.


    As soon as Stanton left, longersen sent someone again. This time Manda didn''t dare to refuse. As one of the three giants of Wangdu, longersen still has the ability to change the king''s mind.


    "I don''t know why you are in a hurry to return to the seven star mountain. You became a count before you were 20. Your favor even makes me envy. The king needs you, and the king also needs you. I hope you can make a careful decision."


    "Your Majesty''s decision is my decision. It is my bounden duty to eliminate the rebels in the southwest."


    They talked for a long time, but long Gesen still didn''t have the habit of inviting people to dinner. Late at night, hungry Manda returned to the official residence, but found that the Government Secretary had been waiting in the hall for a long time.


    "Sir, I''m very sorry. I''ve been at the residence of the senior general. I didn''t expect you to come..."


    "It doesn''t matter. It''s just a short wait," the minister took a glass of wine, took a sip and smiled. "It''s really mellow. It''s really unforgettable."


    "There are still many in my cellar, if you don''t mind..."


    "I don''t mind. Give me all the wine in the wine cellar and your wives. Don''t get me wrong. This is your Majesty''s order. He asked you to leave your family and let me take care of it for the time being. He hopes you will go and return early."


    It''s dangerous. It''s dangerous. Thanks to Manda''s preparedness.


    Manda first put on a surprised expression, then bowed her head with sadness and whispered, "I hope you can be kind to them."


    "Don''t be so depressed," said the minister. "It''s not your family, is it?"


    Surprised, Manda hurriedly got up and said, "my Lord, I''ve never cheated..."


    "Don''t be nervous. Sit down first. Trust me, I came with kindness."


    Manda sat back in her chair, sweat falling down her cheeks.


    He seriously underestimated the Minister of state. The other party was not a neurotic patient with confused thinking. His IQ was far beyond Manda''s imagination.


    "In fact, I appreciate you very much. You are a smart man. Your intelligence is never disgusting. Just like your God, Hermes is so smart, but he is not as aggressive as Athena. Look at your physique, you should be promoted to level 5 soon?"


    Manda swallowed his saliva. The other party knew his strength like the back of his hand. If he really started, he might not have any chance of winning.


    Summoning the separated body may be able to deal with him for a while, but he has no chance to dress the separated body and hang the mirror.


    Pray, pray to Hermes, pray that he really meant no harm.


    Thoughts flew around, and suddenly the minister took out a wooden box from his arms: "as soon as you leave, I don''t know when we can meet again. I have a gift for you."


    The minister opened the wooden box and put in it a stone statue more than a foot high and a stone statue of Hermes. The back of the stone statue was engraved with dense words.
