Nan She left angrily, leaving a bag on Ananu's head.
The bag on his head recovered almost instantly. Anu touched his head and just chuckled, not paying attention.
"It's obvious that you don't want her to be by your side."
Enkidu hugged one of his legs.
He could feel that the vitality in Ananu's body was a little less, to the point of being insignificant.
"It's enough to have you by my side, Enkidu, and maybe Gil."
Enkidu watched Ananu being silent for two seconds and nodded.
...
Early the next morning, Ananu couldn't wait to arrive at the military camp.
While walking, I was still understanding the situation with Lu Silan.
"In the year you left, the army did not reduce or increase its numbers, but it carried out its tasks."
Lu Silan said seriously, holding a clay tablet in his hand.
"What monsters have you killed?"
Ananu asked curiously.
"I have killed several species, and I almost killed a Basiumu, but it escaped."
"But under the command of the general, we did not pursue it. After all, our purpose was only to protect the safety of Uruk."
Ananu nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, that's good. This is the purpose of establishing this so-called 'professional army'. Is there anything else going on?"
"Yes." Lu Silan nodded, hesitantly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ananu was confused.
"Yes, we also killed a group of bandits who invaded Uruk." Lu Silan still chose to report honestly.
"That's great." Ananu nodded with a smile, and then complained, "By the way, do any bandits dare to care about Uruk? Are they so bold?"
There are not only cities in this land, there are also quite a few people living in places without the protection of cities, and they are unwilling to believe in gods, and have been living a relatively barbaric and primitive life.
Every winter, these people would form teams and go to the edge of the city to plunder.
It's just that because Uruk is relatively powerful, it hasn't been robbed very often in the past. This year is strange.
"Maybe it's because King Gilgamesh's shrinking focus and his focus on production caused some misunderstandings among those people." Lu Silan smiled and expressed his guess.
For more than a year, Gilgamesh has not launched or presided over any foreign wars, and has maintained a peaceful relationship with the surrounding small and weak cities. This has been the case since Gilgamesh took office as King of Uruk.
, an unprecedented situation.
That crazy and murderous king could make such a choice. In the eyes of some people, there was only one possibility, and that was that Uruk was useless and unbeatable.
So they wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was still some food left in Uruk to catch the autumn wind.
As a result, Adkat and a dozen professional soldiers from Uruk taught them what cruelty is.
A dozen people killed a team of hundreds of people, and even a few people ran away in the end, because--this group of people ran so damn fast, they could walk like flying in the snow!
"But then again-"
Ananu looked at Lu Silan and looked up and down with an incomprehensible look.
"You've grown a lot stronger over the past year."
"Ah, this...it's true." Lu Silan showed a shy smile, "But the changes in Sir General and his friends are more obvious. They should have started morning exercises now. You can go and take a look.
"
"Okay." Ananu nodded, looking a little uncomfortable.
He probably knows what it will be like inside the barracks now...
"Well--"
"oh--"
"ah......"
"Huh-huh-"
Before he was completely close to the barracks, Ananu heard such a noise.
"Commander, you... eh? Commander!?"
Lu Silan just wanted Ananu not to be too surprised, then turned around and found out.
A tall man with a height of more than two meters and long yellow hair was standing next to him.
Lu Silan:???
"Hahahaha - it seems that the effect I wanted has been achieved! This is what defending Uruk should look like!"
The giant man Ananu strode into the barracks, surprising the soldiers who were warming up.
Let me go! I thought that our style of painting was invincible in this city, but I never thought that there would be such a fierce and domineering man with such a cool and domineering style!?
"May I ask who you are?" A soldier stood in front of Ananu, looking at Ananu's muscles with admiration.
Such muscles are romantic~
It has to be said that after a year of high-intensity training, the aesthetics of this group of warriors have completely gone astray, even Adkart is no exception. He is looking at the yellow-haired brawny man with admiration.
......etc.
Yellow hair?
Adkart's eyes changed.
"it's me!"
Ananu showed a very healthy smile and gave everyone a thumbs up.
"I'm back!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Commander!?"
"Lord Commander!?"
A group of people immediately gathered around and looked at Ananu in disbelief.
Lu Silan stood behind Ananu, looked at Ananu who was surrounded by a group of people, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.
Then, he smiled involuntarily.
...Looking at your back?
That's pretty good.
My passion has been left in the sea, and now, it is indeed better to do this.
His mood is actually a bit complicated.
In Mesopotamia, when he first learned about Ananu, he wanted to escape crazily. If he had not been unable to disobey Gilgamesh's order, he would have even wanted to escape from Uruk, not wanting to see him.
To Ananu.
Noerla and Xiang An still had too great an influence on him.
It was so big that he couldn't look at Ananu's face again...
Ananu's, death.
Thinking of this, Lu Silan's mood couldn't help but sink.
He quickly shook his head and got rid of this thought.
I am ready to face everything calmly. After completing this journey that no one knows about and belongs only to myself, I will welcome my ending with an attitude that can still bring a smile - I have decided!
With this thought in mind, Lu Silan closed his eyes, covered his trembling pupils, and then stepped forward to greet Ananu, together with his other army comrades, to celebrate his successful return from the underworld.
On the other side, in the temple of Ishtar...
"You said, Ananu, you want to come to see me?"
Ishtar's face showed a hint of panic that she was not aware of, and she looked down at the calm-looking Kurgalu.
