After a day of fierce fighting, longerson led his soldiers to temporarily repel bucken''s army.


    The battle was very fierce. More than 1000 people were killed in the battle of the Golden Lion iron guard stationed at the head of the city, nearly 2000 newly recruited soldiers were killed, the city gate was seriously damaged, and six stone throwing trucks were damaged.


    Longersen paid a heavy price for a difficult victory, but bucken''s loss was even heavier. More than 10000 people were killed by the divine punishment army, and almost all the siege weapons were destroyed. Although they still did not retreat, they could not launch an attack on Wangdu in a short time.


    The Government Secretary was very satisfied with the result of the battle: "the enemy was badly hit. We don''t need to stick to it for two months. We can drive away the enemy in at most one month!"


    Longersen is also full of confidence. After this baptism of life and death, the young soldiers have become real soldiers. They no longer expect to cut off bucken''s head, but they firmly believe that they will win the final victory.


    But one person doesn''t think so.


    The king said something to boost his morale. He returned to the palace in a carriage, drank a whole can of wine, and lay in bed trying to sleep.


    But he couldn''t sleep, perhaps because he slept too much during the day. He called the queen and two maids. One night, he was exhausted. His body seemed to have been taken away. There was only one thing that hadn''t been taken away, that is fear.


    Close your eyes and you can see the flying corpse. You can hear the name of Howitt in a quiet place. A guard''s body is a little similar to Howitt''s. in disorder, the king suddenly pulled out his long sword to kill the guard, and then stumbled out of the palace.


    He got on the carriage, came to the north of the city and entered the temple.


    He sat before the high priest flannes, silent for a long time and shed tears.


    "I''m scared, really scared!" the king cried.


    The high priest stroked the king''s head and said in a deep voice, "did you pray to the Lord of the gods?"


    "I pray all the time."


    "You need the power of the Lord of the gods. The blood under the wall is a gift to the Lord of the gods first, and the Lord of the gods will reward you."


    The king raised his head, looked expectantly at the high priest and asked, "can I be stronger?"


    The high priest nodded and took out a divine blood stone: "eat it. It is the will of the Lord of the gods. You will become extremely powerful and you will destroy all enemies."


    The king picked up the divine blood stone and swallowed it without hesitation. In the high priest''s prayer, his pupils began to slowly relax.


    "Praise the Lord of the gods, praise the great lord of the gods..." in a whisper, the king fell into a deep sleep.


    ……


    In the military tent, bucken listened silently to the complaints of the officers.


    "The walls of the king''s capital are too strong. Our siege car is useless. We should let the craftsman make a war Tower!"


    "The war tower is too slow. It will be destroyed by a riprap truck before you get to the bottom of the city!"


    "We almost broke the city gate and asked the craftsmen to make several more siege vehicles. As long as we break the city gate, we will win!"


    "Riprap carts and war towers are useless. Why don''t we attack Simon? Archbishop, didn''t you leave an insider there?"


    There are indeed some insiders in the west of the city, but the government minister is too guarded. They have no chance to fight at all.


    After a few words of encouragement, the next step is to distribute food. The Government Secretary''s calculation is very accurate. Bucken has less than 2 million pounds of food in his hand, which can last for up to 20 days.


    The high deacon Amador came to bucken and saluted, "Sir, are we going to tell Rahn Pigou about the war?"


    "Of course," bucken ordered someone to get the paper and pen, "tell him that we have won a great victory, the king has been captured by us, and the king is trapped in the palace by us."


    ……


    Stanley stayed under Blackwater city for more than ten days and fought several battles with the werewolves, basically small victories.


    In a battle during the day, aylmen sent cavalry to attack the enemy camp. Stanley then caught up. The two teams of cavalry took advantage of the enemy camp. The enemy failed to organize an effective counterattack from beginning to end.


    If Aermeng had sent troops to follow up in time, he should have won a great victory today. He could not only destroy the enemy''s camp, but also burn the enemy''s food.


    But at the critical moment, Aermeng''s cavalry retreated, and Stanley could only retreat with him.


    "What a good fighter! I missed it!" Stanley sighed. "That''s why I''m willing to follow gassack. With him, I can concentrate on fighting without wasting my mind on mutual doubt and suspicion!"


    Lulian gently stroked the fat Knight''s cheek and said with a smile, "I''m afraid you won''t live long with gassac. Even he can''t count on an old fox like elmen."


    "I really don''t understand. Why do we calculate with each other? If Almon doesn''t want to fight, what do you want us to do here?"


    Lulian said, "you know the truth. He wants to fight, but he doesn''t want to lose his own soldiers."


    "When I''m a fool? Will I let him fool me? I''m really tired of this boring war. It''s a humiliation to a general!"


    Stanley pushed Lu Lian away, put on his clothes and walked outside the tent. He wanted to wake up in the evening wind. When he came to the edge of the camp, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.


    "Are you tired?"


    It''s Manda. He''s awake!


    Following the voice, Stanley turned around. He didn''t see Manda''s figure. After looking for it for a long time, he heard Manda say, "is your heart bitter?"


    "I''m suffering!" Stanley determined the direction of the voice and walked towards a pile of weeds.


    "Do you feel insulted?"


    "A little."


    "It''s hard to be riding on the crotch."


    "Well, that''s a little too much. I''m not so seriously humiliated... Are you talking to me?"


    Stanley went to the grass. From there, he saw Manda, but he was stunned.


    He found that Manda didn''t seem to be talking to him, but to his big white horse.


    "Being ridden is not a shame. It''s your destiny. Don''t you feel proud to step on the battlefield with me?"


    The white horse lowered his head, as if he were listening to Manda, and listened very carefully.


    Stanley said in amazement, "are you really awake?"


    Manda raised her head, looked at Stanley, turned to big white horse and said, "kiss him!"


    The white horse snorted and came to Stanley with trembling lips.


    Stanley dodged the white horse, looked at Manda and said with a smile, "can you talk to the horse?"


    Manda suddenly got up, remained silent for a moment, then ran away, and Stanley hurried to catch up.


    "Stop, where are you going!"


    "Ah! Ha ha ha!" cried Manda, holding her hands high, as she ran. "You can''t catch up with me!"


    Stanley really couldn''t catch up. After being promoted to level 5, Manda''s speed increased again. No creature walking on the ground could catch up with him, even the lion girl flying in the sky.


    Manda ran from the east of the camp to the west, and then from the west to the East. The whole camp was stirred.


    "Millo, did you catch him!"


    "No, he''s over there. Hurry up!"


    "He''s running again. Stop him quickly!"


    "Guatel, where''s your trap!"


    "Come on, come on! He fell into the pit!"


    "Hold him down, hold him down? Tie him up!"


    The whole camp took half a night to subdue Manda. After being tied up, Manda returned to her previous state, with a dull expression and no words.


    Stanley asked Millo, "did he succeed in his promotion?"


    Millo gasped and said, "maybe this is the divinity of Hermes."


    "What''s the name of his skill? All creatures in the world can conquer it?"


    Millo said blankly, "what is conquest? Anyway, I''m completely convinced."


    ……


    The next morning, Manda broke free of the rope and ran out of the camp.


    Stanley, who learned the news, grabbed the guard and said angrily, "where has he gone!"


    A guard was black and blue and said, "we can''t beat him or catch up with him. It seems that he ran to Blackwater city!"


    Stanley looked at Blackwater city in the distance and couldn''t speak for half a sound.


    The lioness said fiercely, "Manda said, don''t step into Blackwater city. You can kill you when necessary!"


    Stanley said angrily, "crazy woman, he went to Blackwater City, not me! Will you reason?"
