Give Me the Name of God

Vol 4 Chapter 617: hostage

"May the goddess of wisdom bless you."

This sentence is too informative.

This old king should not be a believer of Athena, but Manda said this deliberately.

This is framed, not only with language, but also with actions. He has just beaten the Bayer, who seems to be a very powerful Bayer.

Provoking disputes in the name of the goddess of wisdom is certainly not good for Odysseus.

It's not a good thing for Odysseus, and certainly not a bad thing for Manda.

Seeing the figure of Manda going away, the dispatcher king almost shed tears, and a lot of suspicions that were difficult to clear were held on his body.

The Bayer commanded one of his subordinates and said: "Go and follow them."

The king hurriedly explained: "They are just merchants from Roma, who sell me some small things."

The Bayer pointed at the king with his horse whip: "I will tell the Grand Duke about this matter. You'd better come up with a reasonable explanation. What about the tax this month?"

The king hurriedly asked people to bring the money bag, and four strong young men drove the reindeer and pulled the sleigh to the Bayer.

There were two hundred gold coins in the purse, and wild boars and pheasants were placed on the sleigh.

The Bayer counted them, took their things and rode away.

The king called in two men and said: "Look where the Roma passersby have gone. Don't disturb the Bayers. If they are still wandering around tonight, they must tell me before dawn."

...

Manda took the people trekking in the snow, and not far away saw a cave.

Chuyt frowned, Cheerdan grinned, Worm knocked his fangs, and was going to live in the cave again tonight.

A fire was built, and after eating something, Manda opened the Styx island and began to read letters.

Today I received a lot of urgent messages, some from Stanley, some from Manu, some from Dunnison, they all reported the same thing, Xie Ertai captured the capital and declared the king.

Unlike everyone's reaction, Manda was not surprised by this result. After writing a reply, he said to Worm: "Did the clerk go?"

"Let's go." Worm arranged insect silk outside the cave, and everything outside was under his control.

Manda said: "Catch that Bayer in here."

He knew that someone was following, and he also knew that the other party was a second-order believer, and he also knew that a second-order believer was behind him.

He could have caught the Bayer long ago, and the reason why he waited until now was to wait for the dispatcher to leave.

The old king is very old, and what Manda will do next will likely affect the old king's health.

Worm brought the Bayer in, and because he was struggling, Worm broke his arm.

"Look at you!" Manda blamed Worm. "Why are you always so rough and the bones are exposed. Look at how painful this is. Just cut it off?"

Worm nodded and said, "Wait for one hand."

The Bayer knelt and cried, begging Manda to let him go. Manda responded in fluent Ruase: "I can let you go, but you have to listen to me and answer a few questions first. Who are you?"

"We are the ambassadors of Grand Duke Bayev. We come here to collect taxes from Lares every month."

"Old Lares?" Manda frowned. "Do you know he is the king?"

"He, be it."

"What do you mean by counting?" Manda picked up the dagger on the side.

"He is a king, but his country is not a kingdom..."

The Bayer's expressive ability was so poor that he could hardly speak a complete sentence between surprises. It took Manda a long time to understand what he meant.

Lares Loraya is indeed the king of the kingdom of dispatchers, and the Loraya family has indeed ruled the dispatchers for thousands of years. However, because of the unique geographical location, this country is extremely backward. To be precise, they are neither of them. The last country was a collection of dozens of primitive tribes who lived on hunting.

The Bayers were also very backward, but a feudal dynasty faced a primitive tribal group, and the two sides had obvious generational differences. The advantage of the Bayers was crushing, and the state of dispatching officials was the Bayer in name. Dependent countries, but their status is not much higher than that of slaves. According to this Bayer, the dispatcher is responsible for guarding the guard dog near the tundra, so that a grand prince’s subordinates dare to call their king. Come and drink.

After verifying the identity of the king, Manda asked two more questions. He thought that the Bayer would not give an answer, but the result was far beyond Manda's expectation.

"Is Lares a believer in the ancient gods?"

The Bayer shook his head and said: "He is not a believer, and none of the dispatchers are believers. According to the law made by our king, the dispatchers are not allowed to believe in any god. Every year we send a high priest to check if Believers who find gods appear among them will execute one-tenth of their men."

This is strange. Under such high-handed laws, it stands to reason that the dispatchers should not take risks, especially their king, but where does his power come from?

Manda then asked: "Have you met a believer of Athena recently, whose name is Odasi?"

The Bayer shook his head and said: "I haven't met a man named Odasi, but I heard that a man named Odysov went to the tundra. He seems to be a friend of the Grand Duke."

"Odysov..." Manda laughed, his name was really nothing new.

"You came to follow me, how can you meet your leader?"

"We have a checkpoint in the south. We usually spend the night there. Please let me go back. If I go back too late, our general will doubt it."

"Your general?" Manda thought of the fat man with a mustache. "Is he a believer in the ancient gods?"

"He is a third-order believer of Perses."

Perses, the **** of destruction, is also a believer in Titan.

"Apart from you and him, how many ancient gods are there in your team?"

"There is one second order and four first orders."

"How many ancient **** believers are there in that post?"

"No, no more..."

The Bayer paused for a while, and Manda smiled and chopped his **** with a dagger.

"Yes! And there!" the Bayer cried aloud, "There are a second-order and a first-order believer in the checkpoint, and ten ordinary sentinels, no one else!"

Manda looked up at Worm, Zuyt and Cherdan: "I don't need to worry about this, right?"

Chuyt said: "We are deeply ashamed of making you bother with so many questions."

"There are a lot of people on the other side, you have to be more careful."

Worm moved Ao Ya and said, "Is this a humiliation to me?"

"Which of you can speak Ruasei?"

Cheer Dan said: "I can speak, but the accent is not pure."

Chuyt said directly in Ruasai: "My accent is very authentic."

Worm would write or say, but he didn't need to do this.

Manda ordered: "Clean up the checkpoints. Everyone should leave the totem of the goddess of wisdom on their bodies, and leave a living one to send the letter back. Let him tell Grand Duke Bayev that the soldiers in the extremely cold land are wearing them. After passing the tundra, Master Odysov will fight with us. If we dare to despise our king, Master Odysov will throw King Baier to feed the bear."

The Bayers did not understand Manda, but Worm, Chuyt, and Cherdan understood very well.

Every time Manda fought with Odysseus, Manda was led by the nose, and this time Manda had to strike first.

The three took the Bayer and immediately set off. On the way, Chuyt carried the Bayer collar and said: "Have you heard the orders from the adults? Only one person can go back alive to deliver the letter. Do you want to be that person?"

"Yes, I want..." The Bayer cried silently.

"Just think about it, don't play tricks, you will definitely not be the only one who wants to survive then."

Worm looked at Chuyt and couldn't help shaking his head. This man was too cruel.

Others have a chance to be the lucky one who survived, but this one has absolutely no chance, he knows too much.

...

Manda stayed alone in the cave for a long time, he was preparing for the next business.

Xieertai captured the royal capital, and the next target must be the southeast. On this point, he and the Minister of State had the same idea.

Typhon certainly doesn't want to be attached to others, but Leonde certainly can't fight Shelty alone. The only thing he can count on is Manda's containment in the west.

Manda can give promises, but how much value can the promises have? How many days can Leonde stay?

If you can't give a convincing bargaining chip, Leonde will fall to Xertai at any time.

What method should be used in exchange for Leonde's trust?

There were some footsteps outside the cave, and the clerk came back.

Want to cut the weeds so quickly? This group of people is really impatient.

Manda entered the underworld calmly. When the dispatcher king brought people in, he saw the fire on the ground and the leftover food, but did not see a half-person figure.

Are they gone? Where did you go?

The king saw a little blood on the ground and muttered to himself: "There seems to be a battle here."

A dispatched soldier walked into the cave and said, "Your Majesty, there are footprints outside the cave, and the footprints are in the direction of the checkpoint."

"Checkpoint? They were captured by the Bayers?" The king sighed, "I hope this matter doesn't involve us."

...

Manda is very familiar with Longyin City, and this time walked directly into Leonde's castle.

Leonde was sitting alone in the hall drinking sullen wine, and he was not surprised to see Manda.

"At this time tomorrow, if I still can't see you, I might have surrendered to Shelty."

Manda sneered: "Are you so weak, aren't you afraid of sanctions from the Emperor?"

"The emperor will forgive me. He knows how difficult my situation is. I don't have to say any more, Manda Crowdersey. I just want to know one thing. Will you help me?"

Manda nodded and said: "Of course I will help you, our situation is not different."

"There are big differences. The southwest is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the southeast doesn’t even have a barrier. Your soldiers can deal with Shelty for a year or even longer, but my soldiers can’t hold it for two months. Even if you are defeated, you can escape to other places. There is the kingdom of Dir to the south and the kingdom of Canglang to the west. You are so smart, you can always find a place to settle down, but what should I do? I can only escape to the sea, and I don’t know Bo Will Saidon take me in, so Manda Crowdersey, tell me, how can I trust you?"

Manda shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I still haven't found the answer, so I just don't think about it. Tell me what you want?"

"Since you are so sincere~www.readwn.com~ then I can just say it, I want your family, two families."

He wanted to hold hostages. In the ancient East, there was a similar tradition when the princes formed alliances.

Manda lingered, Leonde went on to say: "I want to be careful, don't just find someone to perfuse me. I know your family's rules are divided into direct and side lines. Although they are called family members, there is a relationship between them. The difference, I want your immediate family, and as long as I am familiar with those who are too smart, I can't figure out those who are too smart, Horna, Quinta, Pluto, Udora, Worm, choose two of them."

Manda closed his eyes and whispered: "You make me very embarrassed."

Leonde shook his head and said: "I don't want to embarrass you. If you don't trust me, you can leave at any time. If you trust me, bring them in within two days."

Leonde got up to leave, unexpectedly Manda stood up first.

"Why wait for those two days. I am disappointed for Typhon and sad for you. If you insist on surrendering, please say hello to Xie Ertai."
