"Soldiers! Take up your bows and arrows, with my permission!"
Gilgamesh stood at the highest point of the steps of the front hall and used magic to amplify his voice so that the whole of Uruk could hear it.
Except for the soldier who operated the divine seal, all the other soldiers picked up the bows and arrows in their hands. After drawing the bows and arrows, row after row of arrows were fired at the group of monsters.
The lethality of a single arrow is very weak, but when the number of arrows is enough to cover the sky, it is still useful.
What's more, the arrows are just cover, the real damage is the divine seal made by Gilgamesh himself.
boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous gunfire sounded, and the destructive power of the Divine Power Seal was huge. It bombarded the group of monsters, directly exploding large pieces of monsters and being torn apart in the rotation.
Ananu floated in mid-air without using much power. He just separated two pieces of the Key to the Sky and threw them to the two goddesses. His main attention was still on Tiamat and Ab.
On the ancestor’s body.
The two beasts were approaching very quickly... there were a lot less things for Ananu to worry about.
Now, he may not care about the life or death of ordinary soldiers... Blocking the beast here more is what Ananu needs to care about now.
This is also...a helpless thing.
On the city wall, the soldiers who were fighting in an orderly manner did not need the protection of Ananu and the two goddesses.
Now, standing on the city wall proves that they have long ignored their own life and death.
Their lives are Uruk, this great city that makes people proud.
Ishtar pulled Ma Anna away and bombarded the Rahmu who came from the sky, while Nanshe controlled the spring water to break up the formation of the monsters.
They didn't use much force. Like Ananu, their attention was on Tiamat and Abzu.
At the top of the palace, there were several other knights and servants, all of whom were also in a fighting state.
"Miss Lawrence is right behind us, Master - we have to hold on to this place!"
Matthew raised his shield, his eyes sharp.
The group of flying Lakhmu formed a large black mass and attacked towards the palace. Mashu raised the round table in his hand and knocked one Lakhmu away fiercely.
Zijuan, Liao Ye, and Ushiwakamaru also all took their stances.
There were a large number of Lakhmu. Some of them separated and flew towards the city wall, while the other part continued to hit the palace.
Some soldiers picked up the spears in their hands and went to fight with Rahmu and all the other monsters that climbed the city wall, but they were quickly killed. The number of humans was not as large as the monsters, and their strength was not as high as the monsters. Such a result
It is inevitable.
"——Damn it!" Ananu looked at the scene below and roared with gritted teeth.
He looked at Tiamat and clenched his fists.
Tiamat came closer.
If this continues, the soldiers in the city...
No, I must at least first——
"Ananu!"
Just when Ananu was about to gather his magic power and release the precious phantom, a serious voice suddenly sounded, causing Ananu to stop where he was.
He turned around and saw that it was Gilgamesh, holding a book made of two clay tablets in his hand, looking at him sternly from the top of the palace.
Gilgamesh didn't say anything, just looked at Ananu.
Ananu understood what Gilgamesh was thinking, but...
"Do what you should do." Gilgamesh said anyway.
Ananu gritted his teeth.
"--I know!"
There was irrepressible anger in his voice.
It's not anger towards Gilgamesh.
He knew, and Gilgamesh also knew, that the soldiers who still chose to stay in Uruk were bound to die. They had given up on life and death and chose to protect this doomed city no matter what.
, even if Ananu uses his Noble Phantasm to save them now, they will still stay here unswervingly until victory or death.
But Ananu's liberation of the Noble Phantasm here is of no use at all.
The swarm of magical beasts is just an instinct brought about by Tiamat unintentionally when she walks. Even if Ananu's Noble Phantasm destroys one wave, another wave of magical beasts will quickly gather together, forming a new wave of beasts to attack Wu.
Rook's Walls.
Moreover, Tiamat is approaching.
Delaying time is meaningless except to waste magic power.
Boom-buzz!!!
There was another violent vibration on the ground, and the city wall, which had already collapsed, fell into greater chaos.
"Ah ah ah ah ah------"
Tiamat's song is deafening.
She walked with a ferocious expression, and her huge body made very obvious muscle tension movements.
That's hostility.
It's not hostility towards Uruk.
Instead, he was targeting his husband, the founder god of Mesopotamia, Abzu.
Gilgamesh had closed his eyes.
Just as he expected, the defense line composed of Uruk soldiers collapsed almost instantly, causing huge losses.
"...Stand up, my soldiers!"
He sighed, his voice still loud.
The soldiers who are still alive are still fighting hard.
——Even if you suffer heavy losses, even if you are surrounded, even if you can’t see the hope of victory.
You still have to fight, you still have to defend, you still have to defend the dignity of yourself and the city-state where you live!
At least...Uruk was worth their lives.
"Ishtar - pull yourself up! Let yourself fly up!" Although Ananu was angry, he did not lose his mind. He still remembered what he should do now and roared at Ishtar.
.
"Don't rush me - I know!" Ishtar felt Tiamat's oppressive feeling that made people feel hairy all over, and drove Ma Anna to fly high into the sky quickly. She looked at the walking beast and swallowed.
saliva.
What I need next is... to find an... opportunity!
An opportunity...to push Tiamat and Abzu all into the underworld!
...I just don’t know if that guy from Ereshkigal is ready.
All that is left on the city wall of Uruk is a mess, but the divine seal is still placed there because it was made by Gilgamesh himself.
Gilgamesh raised his head and looked up at Tiamat.
Is this the Mother Goddess... Even if I have seen it in advance, I still have to sigh at how terrifying it is.
but--
No problem.
"Move, Seal of Divine Power!"
A large amount of divine power appeared on Gilgamesh's body, and his eyes lit up with light.
On the city wall, the soldiers were dead and wounded, and the lapis lazuli was almost exhausted. However, without the control of the soldiers and without the lapis lazuli filled divine seal, it still moved - in response to Gilgamesh's words.
