Manda received a letter from Stanley. Stanley did win a battle, but it was not complete.

After capturing the receiver alive, Stanley, with the help of Manu and Toka, mastered Gatan\'s whereabouts and made a raid plan.

He led 5000 people to encircle Gatan. With five times the strength, he firmly believed that the enemy would not have a chance to escape.

But then a series of changes happened.

First, he misjudged the number of enemy troops, which was really not Stanley\'s responsibility. After so many days of struggle, almost everyone thought that the number of enemy troops was only 1000, but no one thought that Gatan hid some soldiers in a tunnel in the mountain.

Because the receiver was captured alive, the hidden enemy was exposed, and the actual number reached 3500, which was doomed that Stanley could not form a siege.

Manu\'s choice of exit was also inappropriate. There was little difference in troops, and the place of attack was so close to the enemy that Stanley was found by the enemy as soon as he made an action, which also left Gatan an an opportunity to escape.

Stanley took precautions against this in advance and let guatel lay traps on the enemy\'s escape route.

But unexpectedly, more than half of the traps arranged by guatel failed. Since guatel was promoted to the fourth level, there had never been a similar mistake, and Stanley was punished for the first time.

Gatan just ran away. As for Toka\'s failure to take the sentinels to fill the gap in the encirclement circle, it was purely a dream that Stanley pulled people into the water. The scuffle of thousands of people made dozens of sentinels stop the gap.

Despite all kinds of changes, as an excellent general, Stanley still achieved a wonderful victory. More than 3000 enemies were killed in this battle, leaving less than 400 disabled soldiers to Gatan, while less than 200 people were killed on Stanley\'s side.

Such a brilliant record made Stanley tremble. He was really scared. He suspected that Manda and Gatan had a deep hatred. Letting Gatan go was tantamount to committing an unforgivable crime.

Looking at the regret between the lines in the letter, Manda couldn\'t help laughing. He wanted to give Stanley a few words of encouragement and comfort, but he was worried that there was too much contrast with his previous attitude.

Thinking for a moment, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply. He criticized Stanley in more severe terms, and then affirmed the victory enough.

He wants to give Stanley a reward. He must. This victory has obviously been recognized by Cronus and has helped him win back his skills.

He wrote down a first-class merit to Stanley and gave Stanley the right of free reward and punishment in this battle.

That is, Stanley can freely reward and punish relevant personnel according to combat performance.

Stanley, who received the letter, burst into tears. He said in a trembling voice, "Manda forgives me. He gave me first-class merit and gave me the right to reward and punish freely."

Hearing this, all the people who had kept a distance from him surrounded him.

Manu was the first to say, "general, my contribution in this battle is self-evident. I believe you will give a fair reward."

Toka said, "my scouts and I have contributed a lot. I don\'t think you will ignore that."

Guater wiped his nose and said, "I also made great efforts with the craftsman!"

Stanley flushed his eyes and shouted, "go away! Go away! Don\'t you say it\'s all my fault? Don\'t you say it\'s all my responsibility? A group of ruthless people, you still want a reward? I won\'t give you a copper coin!"

……

Lying in the cave and watching the sunset comfortably, Manda was in a great mood.

It\'s better to keep Gaetan alive, which will make the next victory easier.

The remaining soldiers of Gatan can\'t run far. Sooner or later, they will be found by the sentinel. At that time, they will kill him again and put the third battle in their pocket. It will not only make all the believers of Ares lose their skills, but also get the reward of Cronus.

Thinking of the reward, Manda wondered if he should give Stanley more reward, at least 200 more gold coins.

Thinking of two hundred gold coins, Manda thought of another important thing.

The invisible hat hasn\'t been returned yet. You\'ll have 200 gold coins a day!

While the lion girl was hunting outside, Manda quickly arranged the altar. He didn\'t like the cute customer service brother. He quickly settled the account and returned the things. Manda didn\'t want to call him easily when it was not necessary.

But in the white smoke, what Manda saw was not the cute little brother, but the familiar figure.

Wide forehead, sharp jaw, goatee

The old goat is back!

Manda laughed excitedly, but heard pan Shen roar: "where have you been? I\'ve been looking for you!"

What is this? Don\'t you know where I\'ve been?

Stunned, pan Shen drank again: "answer me, where have you been?"

He really doesn\'t know? Or are you testing yourself?

How to answer?

Said he went to the drawing city first, and then got tifeng\'s help?

It\'s best not to tell him in a hurry. If he doesn\'t know, it\'s best never to let him know.

"I went to Wangdu." telling the truth is the best way to deal with it.

Pan Shen frowned and said, "what do you do when you go to the king?"

"I lost my way. I wanted to inquire about the trace of the enemy in the mountains, but I didn\'t expect to go in the wrong direction in the underworld and go to Wangdu in a muddle."

It is still part of the truth, and pan Shen seems to accept this explanation.

"Know you\'re afraid?" Pan Shen sneered. "Know how vulnerable you are when you lose your skills? Do you want to know the reason behind this?"

What\'s the meaning of this? Of course I know the reason behind it, but pan seems to know nothing about it.

Manda asked tentatively, "I prayed to you when I was in the king\'s capital, but I didn\'t receive your response."

Pan said, "I answered your prayer. You should see the light on the Oracle ring."

"I mean, I didn\'t see you on the altar."

"Who let you go to the king\'s capital? No wonder I couldn\'t find you," sighed the old goat. "Two months ago, the Lord of God\'s punishment planted a fog in the Golden Lion City (King\'s capital). My status is not enough to see through his fog."

Manda was stunned for a long time and said, "your position is not enough to find me? Then why can he find me? Is his position higher than you?"

The old goat frowned and said, "who are you talking about?"

"A young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair and long face, likes to suck snot, and speaks a little..." Manda wanted to say that he was a little stiff, but considering the young man\'s personality, he quickly changed his tone, "a little frank, he likes to say a word..."

Before Manda finished, pan Shen took over: "he likes to say that this is not something I can do."

Old goat called the boy "he", which was enough to prove the identity of the other party. He remained silent for a long time. He asked Manda, "did he give you anything?"

"It\'s not for free, it\'s for rent." Manda quickly handed the invisible hat to the old goat. When he saw the hat, pan Shen smiled.

"Congratulations, you met our father."

Hermes? Ben Zun?

Manda couldn\'t believe her ears: "no, it\'s not him. It\'s different from the statue. You said that the real statue is consistent with the appearance of the gods!"

"There are thousands of gods. Your father showed you one of them. As a mortal, it is your supreme glory to see the LORD God."

Manda\'s mind was blank. Recalling his dialogue with the young man, he didn\'t show too much respect. He had a lot of complaints and a little dispute. It was a miracle that he wasn\'t punished on the spot.

More importantly, the old goat couldn\'t find himself in the king because the Lord of God\'s punishment arranged a fog in the king.

The old goat didn\'t know he had gone to the drawing City, which proved that tifeng had used a similar method to block the old goat\'s sight.

But Hermes can find himself and prove that he can see through the fog of God\'s punishment.

Can he see through the mist of Typhon?

It should be possible. When Manda entered the stage, he changed a drop of blood directly from under TIPHON\'s eyes.

That is, he knows everything.

Manda couldn\'t help fighting a cold war.

The old goat said, "now that my father has given me help, I don\'t need to say more about some things. There will be another battle next. Remember that sentence, we must not lose to the believers of Ares. There are some rules that even our father can\'t do."

Thinking of the rules, Manda suddenly remembered one thing: "why did Cronus intervene in this war?"

Pan said with a smile, "I don\'t know his purpose for the time being, but it\'s definitely not out of kindness! You should also beware of his believers."

With that, pan Shen picked up his invisibility hat and asked, "is the rent ready?"

"Ready." Manda quickly presented two boxes of gold coins.

"I don\'t know the date of your lease. You shouldn\'t have miscalculated?"

Manda shook her head and said, "absolutely not!"

Pan Shen nodded and said with a smile, "in business, never deceive Hermes. This is a very serious crime."
