"The king has received Merlin's message. They should have started to return. If they go at full speed, they should be able to get back to Uruk within two days."
In the front hall, Gilgamesh knocked on his head and said to the people below.
Perhaps because he didn't get enough rest recently, he had a migraine.
The people in the front hall include Fujimaru Ritsuka, Lawrence, Enkidu and Siduri. The others are performing their duties and doing other things.
As for Merlin and Lemoni, in fact, if they didn't bring the two goddesses Stheno and Euryale, with the speed of Merlin and Lemoni, they would probably be able to reach Uruk today.
Now the servants belonging to Uruk are searching for the monsters, but...
This land fell silent.
A very eerie silence fell.
Everyone realized something was wrong.
There is silence on the eve of a storm. This is a truth that all children understand - there will be silence before the storm, the tide will recede before the tsunami, and the heaven and earth will give everyone early warning before the disaster.
"Ananu, how are you doing over there?" Gilgamesh asked via the mirror's communication, but the answer was not Ananu, but a roar.
Roar----
Roar------!!!
"Well--"
There was a certain magic in Abzu's roar, and even through the mirror, Gilgamesh showed a somewhat painful expression.
"Gil, turn off the communication! I will ask Enkidu to convey anything!" Ananu realized that something was not right and shouted to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh turned off the mirror's communication and rubbed his ears.
Enkidu closed his eyes, listening to Ananu's words in his soul, and his expression became solemn.
"Gil, immediately recall all the servants who are still outside." Enkidu said to Gilgamesh the first thing he said when he opened his eyes.
"What's going on over there with Abzu?" Gilgamesh stood up from the throne.
"Although Abzu and Tiamat now feed on each other, in essence, the status of these two creation gods is equal - at least, in this case, they are equal, because Abzu
Bozu woke up from the deepest part of the underworld because of Tiamat." Enkidu floated up, as if he was ready to fly out at any time, "Abzu's power is getting stronger and stronger, and his strength to break free is also getting stronger.
It is getting bigger and bigger, and now the power of Ananu and the power of Ereshkigal are very difficult to restrain, which shows one thing."
"——Tiamat, maybe, is coming."
"Fujimaru Ritsuka." Gilgamesh looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"I understand, King Gilgamesh, I will recall the servants of Chaldea now." Fujimaru Ritsuka understands the priorities of the matter. Now Bashumulahmu and the like are not the focus of the problem at all. How to defend it?
The fortress of Uruk is the most critical.
Even if Gilgamesh has understood that it is impossible for Uruk not to be destroyed, but——
If possible, he is willing to fight with the city until the last moment, and then leave the task of repelling the beast to the remaining people.
This is King Gilgamesh's most determined realization as the king of mankind...
...
"Tiamat's condition seems not quite right. What the King of Heroes means is, let us speed up."
Merlin's expression became serious and he said to Lemony beside him.
The five of them had just said goodbye to Eridu when they received such a message.
"Tsk." Lemony frowned.
It would be great if that guy Aga was here at this time...
That guy's Elma moves very fast even on land, but now...
"...If possible, I can take the four of you with me." After thinking for a moment, Lemoni lowered his head and looked at his body, then raised his head and said to Merlin.
"Huh?" Merlin was stunned.
"I don't mind." Stheno smiled and patted Lemoni on the shoulder, "Now is not the time for me to be jealous. I still have my self-esteem as a goddess."
Lemony glanced at her, and then Stheno glared back.
"Is that okay?" Merlin looked a little embarrassed.
Eurielle, who was holding Anna's hand, looked very interested.
"Lemoni's body is big enough. It should be able for all three of us sisters to sit on it, but what about Merlin?" Euryale pulled Anna back who wanted to retreat, and then looked at her with amusement.
With Merlin.
"It's okay, it can be like this."
Lemony put Stheno down first, and then took a deep breath.
He supported it with both hands and lay on the ground in a push-up position. He supported it with one hand and took out his golden spear with the other hand.
"What is this for?" Stheno squatted beside him, a little curious, and her two younger sisters also came over.
Lemony turned the golden spear upside down, with the tip facing backward, and then——
He used his chest muscles to clamp the handle of the golden spear.
Merlin and the three goddesses:......?
"Is this okay? I always feel like your golden spear will fall off..." Merlin's face suddenly twitched several times, and he had to hit himself to stop that unnatural feeling.
Stop twitching.
"...Why do you feel a little nauseous?" Euryale said hesitantly.
Anna didn't want to say anything.
"...I regret it a little bit, even though it's only a little bit..." Stheno covered his forehead and let out a long sigh as if exhaling his soul.
"Stop talking nonsense and come up quickly. If that bastard Aga is here, there won't be so much trouble... Don't waste time!" Lemoni seemed a little embarrassed and urged, "Merlin comes up first.
, and then others grabbed my shoulders, and one of them had to grab Merlin's back, hold on tighter."
Merlin looked troubled.
"Well, otherwise I'd better..."
"Hurry up!" Lemony interrupted.
Merlin swallowed and his expression turned bitter.
It seems there is no way to escape...
He definitely wanted to walk back by himself. After all, he himself was not a slow runner. At that time, he was the best runner in Camelot in Britain.
But Lemony made this...difficult..."sacrifice"...
Merlin struggled for a long time, and finally chose to lie on Lemony's back amid the joyful looks in the eyes of the three goddesses.
Just as the three goddesses were about to laugh, they heard Lemoni urging: "Hurry up, too."
The expressions of the three goddesses instantly turned bitter.
What an incredible method of transportation...
They sat on it anyway.
Stheno and Euryale grabbed Lemoni's shoulders respectively, while Anna lay on Merlin's back, looking like she was about to vomit.
"Hold on tight." Lemoni said to the four of them in a deep voice.
Then, the golden spear was launched instantly.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-!!!
After several stages of acceleration, Lemoni led several people to the high altitude and moved quickly towards Uruk.
