Give Me the Name of God
Chapter 523 The Night of Killing in Xiangteng County
The nocturnal owl falcon returned to the royal capital and delivered the news that Bucken least wanted to hear.
Similar to the news received by Shelty, the secret sentry deployed by Bucken also saw the God's Punishers in Xiangteng County. The angle of investigation was different, and more information was received. They knew that the group of God's Punishers came from Bergemia. Shan Lai also delivered a lot of food, including a person Bucken least wanted to see, Leo Frank.
A few days ago, Bucken received news from the Holy Kingdom. The Pope recognized the identity of Holy Archbishop Leo Frank and reminded Bucken to stop fighting with Leo.
In Dwight's view, this was a warning to Bucken's proclaimed emperor. Although the matter was ultimately approved by the Pope, the Pope also expressed his dissatisfaction with Bucken in his own way.
But Bucken knew in his heart that this was not just a warning. The Pope wanted to restore the situation in which the religious power restricted the imperial power, but this time he became the restricted party. The Pope obviously wanted to hand over the religious power of Romulu to Leo.
Dwight's position is very clear: I choose to follow you because I think you are a person who can do great things. If you finally choose to bow to Leo, what is the meaning of everything I do?
Bucken said: Of course I will not bow to that fool. I can't wait to cut him into pieces.
Then let me cut him into pieces!
But why are you in Xiangteng County? Didn't Leo join Manda Claude Sai?
Dwight said: Don't forget, he was attached to Shelty before.
Did he break up with Manda?
It doesn't matter whether they split or not. For Leo, they just changed their masters. Think about where his food comes from? It must come from the support of Shelty, Shelty, Leonde, and Leo Frank. They became They have become allies, so they dare to transport food to Xiangteng County blatantly.
This is exactly what I'm worried about. Xiangteng County's location is too special...
Dwight stood up and said: Why have you become timid? If you continue to hesitate, Manda Crowder will also join their alliance. If the entire South is unified, how will we deal with it? Reconcile with Leo Frank? Do you want to be a puppet king? I fought with Leo, it was a brutal battle, where will this put me?
Bucken clenched his fists and said to Dwight: Go kill Leo and don't stay in Xiangteng County for a long time.
Dwight nodded and was about to leave when Bucken said: I will allocate an army to assist you.
Dwight shook his head: No need, I only believe in the Lone Shadow Army.
…
After preparing provisions and weapons, Dwight set off three days later. Xiangteng County was close to the royal capital and only took about five days to travel. After receiving the news, Leo immediately prepared for battle.
Late at night, Leo invited Manda to have a drink in the wilderness outside the camp. Since Horwitt's death, it seemed that all the rules of God's Punisher had become invalid for Leo.
I originally thought that following you would accomplish something, but it turned out that I came out as bait. Leo took a big sip of ale and stared at the night sky intently.
Isn't it because you called me here to hear your complaints? It's almost time for you to return to the camp. The war was about to begin, and Manda didn't want Leo to drink too much.
Leo smiled and said: Let me drink a few more drinks. It is best to make me lose my mind. Maybe I will die on the battlefield. It will definitely not be a bad thing for you to let Jenkins replace me.
Manda nodded: That makes sense. I'll pour it for you first, and then we'll do it...
Shh! Leo motioned Manda to shut up, but he saw a bird flashing past in the night sky and flying to the north.
see it?
I saw it, Manda nodded, What a strong bird.
That's no ordinary bird. Have you heard of the nocturnal owl?
Manda searched her memory: I seem to have seen it in some books.
This is a rare bird and the most outstanding messenger. I remember that Bucken owned two nocturnal owl falcons. It flew towards the north, probably delivering a message to the royal capital.
It may not be Bucken's, maybe it was raised by Leonde. It was just a bird that occasionally flew in the night sky, and Manda felt that there was no need to make so many associations.
Leo shook his head and said: Leonder has too many believers who can fly. They may not fly as fast as the owl falcon, but there is no kind of bird that is more reliable than humans.
Manda ate a piece of bacon and said, Why bother guessing? When it shows up next time, I'll call it over and ask.
Do you still have this ability? Leo smiled, It seems that I should call you here earlier. This owl falcon has appeared many times. They are delivering messages to designated places. Xiangteng County may have Bucken's detailed work.
Manda was startled. If it happened repeatedly, it would be a different matter. The bird should have been intercepted just now.
The two drank a few more drinks and were about to return to the camp. Manda's ears perked up and she turned to look at the night sky.
Weird, it’s that bird again! This time it flew south.
Manda wanted to activate the fifth level skill, but the bird flew too fast and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
This is much faster than a homing pigeon. Manda sighed.
Leo nodded and said: The carrier pigeon is incomparable. It only takes a little more than a day for the owl falcon to fly from the capital to here.
Does that prove that it didn't return to the royal capital just now? It can only deliver messages to Bucken?
Leo said: This is the magical thing about the owl falcon. It has spirituality and can send messages to different people.
Manda calculated the itinerary and asked Leo: Where is Dwight?
According to the information from the sentry, he just set out from the royal capital early the morning before yesterday, and he should be more than half gone by now.
No, as a believer of Hermes, Manda's calculation ability is much stronger than others, Dwight is very close to us. This bird just sent him a letter, and now it is replying to Xizuo. I’m afraid Dwight should have arrived in Xiangteng County.”
Impossible, I have sentries all around...
Stop talking and go back to camp to prepare for the battle.
…
Dwight arrived early, and he led the Lone Shadow Army to march at full speed day and night, just to catch Leo off guard.
As for Leo's sentries, they had been killed by Dwight's scouts long ago. No matter how much Leo's temperament changed, the qualities of an excellent general were not easily learned.
By the time Leo was ready for battle, Dwight had already appeared near the camp, and he could even see Leo's face.
Like a wolf smelling blood, Dwight had an excited smile on his face. Without wasting any time, he immediately led the cavalry towards Leo's camp.
Leo's war preparations were quite adequate. He brought more than two thousand God Punishers with him. Although they had not been on the battlefield very often, it was said that they had all undergone rigorous training.
When the enemy army approached, Manda saw the quality of their training. Even with the advantage of the camp, they could not stop Dwight's charge.
Manda opened Leo's mouth and poured down the medicine powder prepared in advance. This was a complete preparation for the last resort. She didn't expect that the last resort would come so early.
I can't leave my soldiers behind! After drinking the powder, Leo still wanted to continue directing the battle. He had already reached the camp and Lidwhite immediately activated the fifth level skill - Flowing Flame.
He had just been promoted to the fifth level, and his skills were not yet proficient. He could not create a large fire snake like Bucken did.
But dozens of fire snakes turned dozens of soldiers into ashes in the blink of an eye. This shock made Leo realize the reality.
May the Lord bless you, my warriors. Leo gave the order to retreat, then closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and fell into sleep.
Manda escaped from the underworld with Leo. As for this group of divine punishers, they have fixed tactics. How many people can survive in the end depends on their luck.
The commander who replaced Leo was Giorgia. When she first met him, Manda forgot his name, but when she remembered his name, she couldn't figure out his identity.
His identity is very complicated. He is the commander of Longson and the spy lurking around Longson. He is a die-hard loyalist of the former Archbishop Howitt and an outstanding general known as White Shadow.
After Howitt's death, Georgia returned to the Holy Kingdom and told everything that happened in the capital. After so many years of undercover work, he was always on the line of life and death. With this hard work, Georgia thought that the Pope must He will be reused and at least let him manage an army.
Unexpectedly, the Pope did not ask him to manage the army, but asked him to manage two choirs.
Don't think too much, this is equivalent to being idle.
Giorgia led a group of children to sing songs for more than a year, and finally waited for the opportunity. Leo made a comeback in the Romulu Kingdom. The Pope recognized his identity as the Holy Archbishop. Giorgia took the initiative to ask for the opportunity, as the White Shadow General. Joined Leo's team.
Having followed Lungerson for half his life, Giorgia's judgment of the battle situation was very accurate. With Dwight's current momentum, it was impossible to escape unscathed.
If you want to escape, you have to leave people to stop the attack, and leaving half of the people behind may not be enough. Qiaojia directly ordered that two-thirds of the people be left behind, and quietly evacuated the camp with less than 700 people.
This number of people was not enough for Dwight to kill, and most of them surrendered without resistance. Dwight did not see Leo's body. When asked about the prisoners, they only said that an army had escaped.
Dwight ordered to kill all the prisoners and immediately chased them. In the blink of an eye, only dead bodies were left in the camp.
After everyone had left, two figures appeared in the dark night.
One is the fifth-level disciple of Tartarus, Brayton, and the other is the three-headed dog disciple, Xu Mora.
Brayton looked at the body that was still warm and said to Xu Moura, Can you do it?
Xu Moura shook his head and said: It should be buried for two more days, I will try my best!
