Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 23 The Taste of War

After listening to Manda's analysis, Leonde suddenly realized: "You already knew that the golden apple was fake, and you can tell the real thing from the fake, that's why you bought so many fetishes from the market!"

Manda blinked and said, "How can I tell the difference between high-end products like golden apples..."

"You lied! Brutal's eyes were blind, and he was burned to charcoal by Radon's anger, you know that!"

Leonde was roaring, he might tear Manda into pieces at any time, that's why Manda was worried, the rules of interacting with people were too complicated, what was originally a pertinent suggestion, but now it almost caused death.

His fingers were hardening, and Manda wouldn't let him bully him if he messed around.

Sphinx stood up, stepped forward and pushed Leonde away: "Now is not the time to argue about this!"

Everyone fell into silence, and Kunta whispered: "Manda is right, this is Nars' conspiracy!"

The Marquis of Nars deliberately sold a fake golden apple to the earl in order to arouse Typhon's anger. He knew the consequences of Typhon's anger, the earl would be injured, and most people in the valley would not be spared.

At this time, the valley had lost nearly 80% of its combat power. Nars had expected this, so he sent three desperadoes over to investigate the situation. As soon as they opened their mouths, they asked about the whereabouts of the earl. If they found out the truth, the marquis' army might have entered the valley.

In the panic, the Sphinx was dizzy, and she immediately ordered: "Assemble all those who can fight to the mouth of the valley, there is going to be a war!"

"Why did you gather at the mouth of the valley?" Manda sighed.

"Where do you think they should gather?" Lioness asked angrily, "Are they all waiting in the castle?"

"What's wrong with the castle, at least the enemy can't see us," Manda said, pointing out the window, "Gather everyone to the mouth of the valley, let the Marquis of Nars see us fighting to the death, and he will be able to kill us." Scared? He will see our fear, our panic, our desperate struggle when we have no choice! I feel sorry for Nars, he doesn't need to send three people out to find the way, you I am planning to show him all my family fortune!"

What Manda said made the Sphinx speechless, and after a long silence, the Sphinx asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I don't know if I should say it," Manda sighed, "You don't seem to like listening to the truth very much."

"I'm willing to listen when I'm patient," Sphinx hooked Gomanda's chin, "don't exhaust my patience."

Manda looked at the three heads on the ground and said: "Go to Portia first, clean up their bodies, and then send them to the mouth of the valley, as usual, as if everything happened."

"Nothing happened?" Leonde said angrily, "We should hang their heads in front of the castle gate of Cloud Desai, smear the blood of these people on their faces, and smear the flesh of these people." Stuff them in their mouths, this is the minimum warning!"

"It's quite enjoyable to do," Manda nodded. "It can fully display your anger, but it reduces our... forceful style."

Manda couldn't find a more appropriate word than forceful.

"What is compulsion?" Kunta looked at Manda in surprise.

"Forcing style...is a kind of state, a kind of tolerance, and a kind of majesty that shows strength silently and invisible!" Manda gave a serious explanation.

Kunta licked his lips and looked at Lioness, indicating that he didn't understand.

The lion girl looked at Leonde and said that she didn't understand either.

Leonde turned his head aside with a look of disdain.

Manda said deeply: "Whether the people who come are servants, peasants or believers of the ancient gods, we must let everyone understand one thing. In the valley of resentment, they are just ants."

Kunta understood what Manda meant: "Ants are just ants. Everyone is vulnerable in front of us. Send the corpse out as usual, as if it is no different from ordinary people, and let them know that everything is in front of us. So small."

Manda nodded and said: "Only in this way can the Marquis of Nars be truly deterred. In addition, we have to ask old Yaman for help."

Lion Girl shook her head and said, "I told you, he's not reliable."

Manda shrugged: "We have no choice, this is the first element of war."

"The first element..." Sphinx looked at Leonde, who still smiled contemptuously.

Manda was taken aback: "Have you not experienced war?"

Aren't they all big shots who are used to bloodshed? This is very different from Manda's imagination.

"You want to show off in front of us just because of your age?" Leonde said coldly, "Isn't the first element of war killing people? Everyone here has blood on their hands, and anyone who breaks into the valley will be killed. Let’s kill whoever stops us from completing our mission, we kill hundreds of people every year! Tell me, how many people have you killed so far?”

Manda couldn't answer, and the bookworm Worm glanced at Leonde: "War and killing are two different things."

"I know the meaning of war," Kunta said, "Since I came to the valley, there has never been a war here, at least ten years."

Sphinx said: "I haven't experienced war either. I came earlier than others, and it has been more than twenty years."

The lion girl has been in the valley for more than 20 years? Manda repeatedly looked at her charming cheeks and graceful figure. There may have been some misunderstandings about her age before.

"Have you experienced war?" Sphinx looked at Worm. Since the castle, there has been this bookworm. He, old Yaman and Portia are the people who have followed the earl the longest.

Wurm pondered for a moment and said: "I have experienced a war, just like the one described in "War Chronicle", but the number of people was not so large. A group of people broke into the valley, about a hundred people, and they almost burned the castle. .”

"Then what?"

"They're dead."

"More than a hundred people? How did they die?" Manda was a little puzzled. According to Worm's description, the earl at that time was fledgling, and the available people around him were limited. Even if the opponent was only a hundred ordinary people, such a victory It's also amazing enough.

"I don't know. At that time, I didn't have enough wisdom. I only remember that the count said that there is the power of hell and abyss in the valley. Unless Typhon's permission is obtained, trespassers will surely die."

These words filled Sphinx's chest with confidence: "Under Typhon's protection, no one can defeat us, so... what does this have to do with old Yaman?"

Manda said: "The first element of war is information. We need to know the strength of the enemy."

Leonde sneered: "Who do you think you are, the messenger of Ares?"

"That's not what I said..." Manda didn't know how to explain, Worm said aside: "This is the record in "War Discipline", the first element of war is news, it's on the fourth page, why do you Why don't you follow the count's advice and read more books?"

Leonde said: "You have eaten up all the books, what else should I read?"

"I'm eating a copy of myself!"

"Stop arguing!" Lion Girl looked at Manda, "Do you think we should ask old Yaman for information?"

Manda nodded: "Except for old Yaman, I don't know if there is any better source of news. If Marquis Nars only brought a hundred ordinary soldiers, we would be able to defend the valley. If he brought two Hundreds of soldiers, our war will become very difficult, if it exceeds five hundred soldiers, we must leave the valley, the sooner the better, I have only read a third of "War Discipline", and only know so much."

Worm hoarsely said: "You haven't read it, I gave it to you!"

Manda whispered, "But it's more useful in my head."

Worm ignored Manda's sarcasm, and said to the lion girl: "We can't give up the valley, this is the earl's territory, the last territory!"

Manda said: "This is war. On the battlefield, we only look at strength, and never care about anyone's wishes."

Worm stared at Manda with rounded eyes. Although he still had no expression, the Sphinx saw Worm's anger, and another person wanted to tear Manda into pieces.

The lion girl had no choice but to hide Manda behind her back, although the guy was twitchy once he got behind the skirt.

After some consideration, the Sphinx adopted Manda's suggestion. When everyone was about to leave, Leonde suddenly asked Manda: "Are you really only twelve years old?"

Manda smiled contemptuously, without making a sound, thinking to himself: This is the wisdom from Athena.

After laughing, Manda took two steps forward, then rolled his eyes up, foamed at the mouth, and lay on the ground convulsing all over.

Kunta turned pale with fright, helped Manda up, convulsed during the meal, Manda gradually calmed down, and managed to drink a little water.

"What happened just now?" Kunta asked in a low voice, "Did you get a revelation from the gods?"

Manda didn't answer, he frowned at Kunta, his face full of resentment.

Worm sarcastically said: "Excessive arrogance will attract the wrath of Zeus."

Leonde laughed and said: "As he said, this is the kind of thing called force. His force is too high. He must have been struck by the lightning of the Lord of the Gods."

Manda had no intention of arguing, and the voice of the natal god still echoed in his mind:

"If you dare to mispronounce my name again, I will kill you!"
