Manda found Ogg and never asked the prophet. It''s definitely the wisest choice.
Ogg comforted Helena, then got out of bed, came to Manda, saluted deeply and said, "do you mind if I wear a dress?"
"I don''t mind."
"Don''t you mind asking her to wear a dress, too?"
"I don''t mind."
"Would you mind going out first?"
Manda turned and left the room. Ogg turned to the crowd and said, "you don''t mind going out!"
The lioness, Stanley, Eudora, Pluto, Moira and more than twenty attendants all went out of the room. Not long after, Ogg put on a gorgeous robe and came to the temple of Prometheus.
The so-called temple was just a wooden house dedicated to the statue. Under the statue, Ogg began a long prayer.
After being promoted to the third level, Ogg can gain more oracles and make correct judgments on many complex things, but this time, he disappointed Manda.
The prayer lasted all afternoon, but Ogg never received a response from Prometheus.
Ogg was very confused. Stanley made some conjectures: "the promotion to the fifth level involves the acquisition of divinity. Titan will keep a certain distance from the LORD God and do not want to pry into the mind of the LORD God."
Manda frowned and said, "what is divinity?"
"I can''t describe it," Stanley shook his head. "A drunk is a good example. Look at his behavior. Do you think he''s still a normal person?"
Is it half crazy to acquire divinity? This entangled Manda again.
In the evening, Manda made a decision. Her ultimate goal remained unchanged. She was still to get the name of God and eternal life. Since this is a necessary process, there is nothing to hesitate.
"I want to rise! Rise now!"
The old goat needs three days to prepare the sacrifice. These three days are also very valuable for Manda. He may not be able to direct the battle himself, but at least help Stanley prepare.
Food, weapons, reserve forces, terrain, climate and tactical choices... Stanley is an expert in war. These details don''t need Manda to worry about. Manda''s concern is not the enemy, but elmen.
In terms of military talent, Stanley must be above elmen, but in terms of political skills, Stanley and elmen are not at the same level at all.
According to Manda''s speculation, Almon will show his determination to fight back, the friendship of living and dying together and the majesty of the local Lord, and win Stanley to fight for him. During this period, coupled with the orders from the king and the glory from the knight''s soul, Stanley is likely to be trapped by Almon and fight for Blackwater at all costs.
For Manda, defending Blackwater city is of great significance, but this is Almon''s war after all. If Stanley and the werewolf fight to lose and lose, and finally let Almon reap profits, the consequences will be unimaginable. Almon may turn over at any time, or even annex the seven star mountain.
"No matter what methods elmen uses to force or tempt you, no matter how sincere he shows you, even if he admits that you are his long lost father, there are two boundaries that you must not cross,
First, never face the enemy alone. He is the master of Blackwater city. We are his helpers. If he doesn''t go out of the city and you don''t send troops, you can''t beat him even if you are defeated. "
Stanley nodded.
"Second, no matter how sincerely Aermeng invites you, you can''t step into Blackwater city. He may want to take your army, and you may take his city."
Stanley shook his head and smiled, "I''m not that crazy."
"Don''t need your madness, don''t his doubt. If he suspects, it''s your sin. I repeat, he is the master of Blackwater city."
Stanley looked at Manda quietly and said in a half tone, "you''re not sixteen, are you? Why are you more cunning than a man of sixty?"
"In fact, I''m 160 years old, but you can''t see it," Manda smiled. "If you can''t do these two things, even if you lose your title, I won''t let you go to the army."
Stanley got up and saluted, "don''t worry, sir, I can do it!"
"Good! Three days later, if I fall asleep, you take two thousand people to Blackwater."
Stanley left the assembly hall. Manda called the lioness and repeated what she had just said.
"If Stanley crosses those two lines, you will immediately join hands with Millo and take the command of the army."
The lioness said, "what if Stanley fought hard?"
"Kill him if necessary," said Manda calmly. "It''s better to die in your hands than in elmen''s hands."
……
Late at night, longersen and the government minister came to the palace. The king wanted to discuss the southwest with them.
"There are divine punishers outside and divine punishers inside. It seems that I underestimated Roman Wilkins. He is probably an insider sent by the Pope. In addition, there is a bucken nearby. According to this situation, elmen, who is suffering from the enemy, will not last long. The whole southwest may fall into the enemy''s hands. What do you think? What should we do?"
The minister said, "count munchke has returned to the southwest. It is his mission to destroy Wilkins. He also has the responsibility to help Marquis Almon resist foreign enemies."
"Mission? Responsibility?" the king said with a smile, "how capable can he be? He claims to have destroyed the giant enemy Harlem, so I called him to the king''s capital. I thought he was very talented. Now the truth is clear. He just falsely claimed the credit of others. He fought hard in grey fish town for two months and got nothing. Now he still expects him to resist foreign enemies. Isn''t it a fool''s dream?"
The minister looked at the king. He knew that the king had an idea, a crazy idea.
The king looked at long Gesen and said, "I''ve recruited another army in Wangdu. I''m going to give this army to you. You personally lead your troops to the southwest, destroy Roman Wilkins first, and then repel the enemies of the wolf country. The new foreign minister will then go to the wolf country to deter them, and then give them some sweets. The war is over. What do you think of this idea?"
Without hesitation, longerson got up and said, "Your Majesty, I''m ready to go out at any time."
The government minister quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, general longersen can''t leave the king''s capital. The war has burned the whole kingdom. We must first ensure the safety of the king''s capital!"
The king frowned and said, "you have heard the report of the war. We are winning wars everywhere. Who can threaten the safety of the king''s capital? The punishers around the king''s capital are almost killed. Will the enemy fall from the sky?"
The government minister was speechless. The king ordered longson to prepare food and weapons and send troops to the southwest five days later.
After leaving the palace, the government minister looked depressed. Longson rushed up and whispered, "Lord lesio, I also think your Majesty''s practice is a little reckless."
The Minister of state was stunned. For many years, longerson didn''t take the initiative to talk to him.
"General longersen, since you don''t feel right, why didn''t you remind your majesty?"
Longesen sighed: "I can''t find a reason to convince your majesty. If those war reports are true, the whole country is winning wars, and the king is really not in danger."
"War report, war report..." the Government Secretary repeated several times and suddenly asked, "how''s the war in Huarong city? I don''t seem to have heard the war report in Huarong city!"
"I didn''t hear it either. It is said that the war there is a little anxious."
The government secretary looked at long Gesen in surprise: "why can''t you hear the war report of Huarong city? Don''t all the war reports have to pass through you?"
Longersen shook his head: "Your Majesty has changed the rules. All war reports should be handed over to the new interior minister first."
"The newly appointed ministers... The Minister of the interior, the Minister of foreign affairs, the Minister of finance, the grand inspector and the grand adjudicator. Recently, many new ministers have been appointed," the government minister sighed, "it may be my turn."
……
At the head of Huarong City, bucken took count Justin''s head and was thinking about how to boost morale.
They have just won a great battle, occupied Huarong city and killed the city''s master Justin.
Huarong city is less than five days away from Wangdu.
Thank the Lord for his protection, defend his majesty and protect his glory... Bucken has said these words many times, and they must have heard enough.
These soldiers are veterans who have been retired for many years. The oldest Centurion is nearly 70 years old. They volunteered to the Pope and pretended to be slaves. Some have drifted on the sea for nearly a month, some have trekked in the mountains for dozens of days. One third of an army died on the road in order to fight in romlu country.
What are they doing for? To please the new archbishop of bucken?
Obviously not.
Bucken held Justin''s head high with tears in his eyes and shouted: "he looked at it from the clouds, he looked at it in the kingdom of God, he looked at the bravest soldiers fighting for him, you used to bleed with him, now continue to fight with me! Capture the king''s capital, kill the tyrant and avenge Archbishop Howe!"
