Chapter 770 Speech and Farewell
"Gauguin!"
"Let's go Fujimaru, the Rahmu are already surrounding us, we don't have time to wait for her to change her mind!"
At the last moment when they were isolated from each other by the prism, Fujimaru still stared at this lonely and clumsy goddess, and still refused to blink until the beautiful shadow left on his retina gradually disappeared.
"If this is the goddess's choice, you should respect it, Fujimaru." Sakuyue held the half-dead Jingu in one hand and supported the weak Quetzalcoatl with the other, never looking back. "If you feel unwilling, Let’s get it back next time.”
"I understand, Sakusuki." Fujimaru wiped his face fiercely and followed his footsteps, "What should we do next?"
"Back to Uruk, the war has advanced to the next stage. Since the Warcraft have played their cards, we should retaliate."
"good."
After a while, Uruk Palace
"The most difficult opponents have stepped onto the stage, and Eridu, ruled by the Sun Goddess, has been bloodbathed by them. Under the deterrence of the Lakhmu battle group, no city is safe - it is necessary to fully shrink the front line. "
Shuo Yue stated the threat bluntly, turning her eyes slightly to look at the people gathered in the palace.
Gilgamesh, the king on the throne, Enkidu who came as a Lancer, Ishtar, the mistress of the sky, Quetzalcoatl who has fallen from divinity, and the divine blood of Gorgon. The little goddess Anna summoned by the medium, the British sage Merlin, the Chaldean master Fujimaru, and Archer Tomoe Gozen.
Plus the goddess Ereshkigal who watches in the underworld, and myself as a traveler in another world.
A total of ten people, this is all the combat power Uruk displayed before the final disaster came.
Compared with the Lakhmu group, which numbered over ten million, and the two main god-level Baal Lakhmu, there was a huge gap in terms of both quantity and quality.
What's more, the enemy's real commander, the culprit of this singularity - has not appeared until now.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, by now, you should know who the enemy is at the end of this singularity." Gilgamesh mentioned the term calmly, "Human evil, as it is literally said, is human evil. Stains, various disasters that destroy humanity. The more humans develop, the more powerful they become, like cancer eating away at the body from the inside of society.”
"Wait a minute." Ishtar suddenly said, "Is it the mother who is awakening now? This situation should be caused by the god Tiamat?"
"The Beast I am talking about is the god Tiamat." Gilgamesh said, "The opponent we are going to challenge is a genuine divine body from the primitive world. Although he was seriously injured and on the verge of death in the battle with the cook, he is completely intact because of it. Awakening, it returned to its full glory yesterday.”
There was a brief silence, and the pressure from the God of Origin made everyone's mouths dry. After a brief explanation, Gilgamesh waved his hand, with a solemn look on his face:
"Put aside the matter of mother Tiamat for now. The key now is to prevent the massive encirclement and suppression of Lahm. The king has ordered Uruk to enter the highest combat readiness state, and the four hundred divine power seals have also replenished ammunition. All are still The able soldiers have also been sent to the front line by my king, but that's all..."
"It's not enough." Before Gilgamesh could continue, Shuo Yue shook her head and asserted, "No matter how high the attack level of the Divine Power Seal is, it's only A level. If Rahmu intends to defend, it will have no effect at all. As for the soldiers, ——”
He didn't say any more, but everyone knew it.
In the face of a battle at the level of the Gods, what can mere human soldiers do?
Gilgamesh's face darkened, and there was a hint of anger hidden in his tone: "All my magic power, the fully open Uruk treasure house, all the elite soldiers, the gods and servants guarding the front... aren't these enough? ”
Shuo Yue still shook his head, and Gilgamesh began to take a deep breath. Everyone felt that he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time: "What if the underworld is added to the mix? Don't think that I don't know that you are hiding in the goddess. The power underneath is also Uruk’s trump card!”
Shuo Yue quietly listened to the king's angry words, bit her lip, slowly, firmly, shook her head——
"What on earth do you want to say, bastard! In your eyes, my Uruk is just a paper basket that is about to collapse!"
"Your opponent is me. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!" Shuo Yue also roared angrily, with veins sticking out. He actually looked even more angry than Gilgamesh: "You guy , Even if you have to sacrifice the lives of your people, are you still not willing to bow to me?"
"Haha, it's ridiculous. If I bow to a bastard like you, I would rather die! Isn't it the remaining life of Uruk? If you want it, you can take it from your fate!"
"Gilgamesh!"
"Shut up and don't forget who committed all this, bastard!"
In the silence, the young man with an ugly face restrained his voice, but still spoke in a low voice: "Why bother? Even if everything is destined to perish, why don't you want to seize that short moment of respite."
"I said, I won't take it." The king on the throne sneered.
"That's what you think, but what about your people? Today, there are still new lives born -" Shuo Yue took a deep breath, "Are you going to let those innocent children be buried with you!"
If it were the Holy King guarding Britain, he would definitely show a wavering look after hearing these words. This hesitation originated from her compassion.
However, the one who now sits on the throne is a tyrant and dictator from Mesopotamia, a heroic king who defines his own axis.
The King of Uruk is never merciful.
Facing Shuo Yue's angry eyes, he stood up without changing his expression.
"Destruction is finally coming. There are probably two days left, but you don't need to collapse with Uruk."
Facing the surprised eyes of the people, Wang said loudly:
"If you want to survive, go to the north wall! If you want to fight, then become the cornerstone of Uruk!"
Everything was silent except for Gilgamesh's passionate voice, which echoed in the palace and was transmitted to the entire city through the magic amplification array.
"The time limit is until dusk, go and say your final goodbyes to your family and friends!"
So frankly, sacrifice and survival are put on the stage for the people to choose.
At the end of his speech, Gilgamesh calmed down, turned around, passed by Shuo Yue, and returned to the throne.
"Have you seen this majestic city? This is the dignity and glory of my king, cook." He said softly, arrogantly and without concealment, "Before I use my last ounce of courage and shed my last drop of blood, I will The King will not allow you to tarnish our glory.”
Shuo Yue gritted her teeth, slowly exhaled the turbid air, sneered and walked away: "It's up to you, but remember, as long as I judge that Uruk has lost the ability to fight, I will immediately take over the battlefield."
"Huh, whatever you want."
After Sakuyue left, Gilgamesh ignored the slightly solemn atmosphere in the palace, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he looked at Fujimaru beside him: "This search operation was also quite bumpy. ,Thanks for your hard work."
Fujimaru laughed dryly: "It's okay, it's the king..."
"Don't worry about our quarrel." Gilgamesh saw with just one glance that Fujimaru was hesitant to speak, and raised the corner of his mouth teasingly, "It's just a difference in ideas. It's better to say that I appreciate his behavior. "
"appreciate?"
"Yes." The smile on Gilgamesh's lips became even weirder, "At least it proves that no matter what happens, that guy will run back and serve my king's Uruk until death... Tsk, tsk, using modern words In other words, he is a good tool man. ”
"Um..." Fujimaru had a dark look on his face, and Enkidu beside him also smiled and said:
"Gil, as a servant, I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you just said?"
"It doesn't matter, that guy knows it in his heart, that's why he is so angry with me, hahahaha..." Gilgamesh laughed out loud with joy, "That is to say, this cook escaped with his tail between his legs, otherwise I would still be here I’m really looking forward to his expression now.”
Even your own people are being tricked. As expected of you, King of Heroes!
The corner of Fujimaru's mouth twitched, but he didn't notice that Merlin beside him remained silent. He just stared silently at King Gilgamesh who looked up and laughed, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Perhaps because of the same nature, as a hybrid between a dream demon and a human, he can understand to a certain extent the reason why Tian Zhichen, who is also an inhuman, is really happy.
Gilgamesh, who sits on the throne, is the judge of mankind. Therefore, although he will protect [human beings], he will not take special care of [individuals]. The reason why he is interested in humans and chooses to like them is because this king feels that the things created by humans are valuable, that is, "although humans themselves are It's boring, but the things created by humans have value." This belief made him sit in the palace of Uruk.
On the other hand, Shuo Yue, the last knight - can no longer be described as a simple 'human'. He does not have the same feelings for human beings as King Arthur or Artoria. The reason for protecting Uruk so carefully is just based on the simple thought of "This is a place that I recognize that people want to protect. In this case, let's help them."
If there is no one he cares about, even if a world is destroyed in front of him and mankind collectively dies, there will be no psychological burden on him, and he may still hold up his wine glass and appreciate this rare scene.
After realizing that humankind would be destroyed, these two guys with bad personalities reached a consensus earlier than anyone else, and silently formed an alliance, working together to delay the destruction of this singularity until now.
Beliefs that are so similar that they resonate with each other cannot even be touched by Enkidu, who is a close friend - and this is the reason why Gilgamesh laughs.
"What a beautiful encounter, what an interesting story..." Merlin murmured to himself, closing his eyes in contentment, "There will never be another strong yet gentle soul like the two of them."
Not a friend, but a confidant.
They are so incompatible with each other, yet they trust each other so deeply.
"Merlin, are you in a daze again?" The King of Heroes called, causing Merlin, who was immersed in feelings, to open his eyes and smile.
"Your command, King."
"Don't play tricks now. Success or failure will depend on these two days. I want you to show your determination to die." Gilgamesh waved his hand without any doubt, "Gorgon is begging you, Fujimaru. We must unite all forces that can be united before the Rakhmu attack."
No one objected. Even the king who had died of overwork several times never complained about the hardship and tiredness. What right did others have to rest? After a brief explanation, Fujimaru and the other two set off immediately and headed for the dangerous northern shore of the Persian Gulf again. After watching them leave, Gilgamesh turned to the sergeant next to Siduri and said:
"How is the transfer going?"
"Although we did a rehearsal in advance, there are still some shortages." The sergeant replied ashamedly, "If this goes on, we won't be able to completely guide the citizens to take refuge before sunset."
"Really." Gilgamesh's eyes flashed, and Siduri saw the king's embarrassment and took the initiative to step forward.
"King, let me go."
But before she finished her words, she was met with a ruthless rebuttal:
"No, Siduri!"
I have never seen Gilgamesh so angry. He was like a golden lion with his hair and beard standing up, staring fiercely at his most respected female priest, silently threatening.
Don't allow her to leave his sight.
The sudden response made Siduri take a step back. She stared at the king who suddenly took a tough stance with her eyes wide open. After a long, long silence, her eyes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head to look at the clay tablet in her arms.
Finally, she closed her eyes resigned to her fate, raised her head slightly, and when she opened her beautiful eyes again, she looked seriously at the king she had served for countless years, with a curved corner of her mouth, revealing a peaceful smile.
The light gray eyes contained an undeniable tenderness, just like an elder sister, making even the high and mighty king avoid her gaze as if it was burned.
"Really? Then... go..."
"Excuse me." Without too much nostalgia and reluctance, the head priestess saluted as usual, turned around, and disappeared at the end of the gate.
The beautiful figure gradually dissipated,
"Do you need me to follow?" Enkidu said sympathetically.
"No need." After a brief moment of weakness like an illusion, Gilgamesh regained his cold and capable appearance. "It's not worth using your level of combat power to evacuate the people. Let's go. We have more important things to do."
Turning his head to the side, his eyes penetrated the wall, as if he could see everything that happened in the tower. The king narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself.
"A hysterical clay doll... Ha, did he lose his heart after the Holy Grail was taken away?"
