"Dr. Roman? Doctor! Dr. Roman? Romani Archaman? Hello? Hello? Solomon??"
Mo Shuying lay on the wooden bed, calling out to Chaldea in boredom.
But he couldn't get through; the connection between them had been completely severed. The final Boundary Field protecting the people of Uruk wasn't just for deflecting people.
"Ugh, I can't reach Chaldea. I wonder how Fujimaru Ritsuka and my master are doing."
Actually, Fujimaru Ritsuka and their group were probably fine. They were teleported not far from the front lines, and he had already killed Kingu, so there was no way anything bad would happen to them.
But Li Shuwen was different. Li Shuwen was old. Although his lethality hadn't decreased, his stamina and strength were declining. To ordinary people, an old man like him seemed deceptively strong.
Even if he were to be punched by this old man and die, he wouldn't accept it!
Mo Shuying had already witnessed the power of the Demonic Beasts. If they were just ordinary Demonic Beasts, it wouldn't be much, but if they were those reinforced offspring, then Li Shuwen should consider returning to Chaldea first.
Night was nearly over.
After finishing his spiritual cultivation, Mo Shuying walked out to stretch his legs. The defense along the front lines at night hadn't weakened much; the city walls were full of soldiers, all wide-eyed, staring out, terrified that Demonic Beasts might suddenly appear!
"It seems I'm not the only one who struggles to sleep at night."
Walking down to the city base, Benkei emerged from the darkness. Mo Shuying glanced at him, nodding slightly.
"Sir, would you like to come up and take a look? I'm on night duty tonight and was just about to patrol the front lines. Would you like to join me?"
Benkei extended an invitation, and Mo Shuying considered it.
"Is that allowed?"
"Of course, sir. You are not a malicious person, so there will certainly be no problem."
Benkei still smiled as he spoke. This time, Mo Shuying also smiled, gesturing for him to proceed. Then, the two climbed the high wall and began their patrol.
"I've already heard from Lord Leonidas about your deeds, sir. It is truly an immeasurable act of merit. I deeply admire your strength, perseverance, and courage. I know that I am not your equal. In fact, one might ask, who could be?"
Benkei's eyes were fixed on the wall outside, but his mouth didn't stop moving.
It took Mo Shuying a moment to realize that Benkei was praising him.
"Me? You're giving me too much credit. I'm just doing what I can. Since I came to Chaldea and encountered so many things, if I don't do it, who else will? Although I firmly believe that even without me, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, these two excellent girls, humanity's last hope, Chaldea's last Master, would still be able to save the world, but now that I'm here, I really want to help them share this burden."
As someone who had once saved Humanity's History in a game, Mo Shuying deeply understood that saving the world wasn't something one person could accomplish alone.
Every adventure, every encounter, had transformed into tiny threads, weaving together a rope of victory.
"Sir, your righteousness is profound. Though it may sound presumptuous for me to say so, I believe I have some strength. If you need it, I am willing to contribute my part for Humanity's History."
As Heroic Spirits, they were already aware of the burning of Humanity's History. If Humanity's History disappeared, they, Heroic Spirits condensed from human faith, would also cease to exist.
So, in the unseen realm, perhaps countless eyes were watching Mo Shuying and the others. They, too, were waiting—waiting for a chance to help!
"Thank you! When the time comes, I will definitely rely on everyone's strength."
Mo Shuying nodded. Benkei seemed pleased, and just as Benkei was about to burst into hearty laughter—
*Swish!*
A golden light streaked across the sky, passing through the Boundary Field in the air without hindrance, flying rapidly towards Uruk!
"Is that…?"
Mo Shuying frowned. The other party's speed was too fast. He thought he saw a familiar-looking girl!
"Ishtar!!" x2!
Mo Shuying and Benkei exclaimed simultaneously! The one who had just flown past was none other than the goddess Ishtar! The goddess of beauty, harvest, and battle in Mesopotamian mythology! Representing Venus!
Speaking of Ishtar, she also had deep roots with Uruk.
Because Uruk was originally her territory, she was essentially driven out by Gilgamesh and was no longer worshipped by the people of Uruk.
As an arrogant goddess, Ishtar once sent her Bull of Heaven to the lower world, intending to give Gilgamesh a taste of his own medicine. Who knew that Gilgamesh and Enkidu would team up to defeat the Bull of Heaven? It could be said that Ishtar and Gilgamesh had a feud.
And the direction Ishtar was heading was clearly Uruk. Although he didn't know what this reckless goddess was thinking, it certainly wasn't anything good!
The night dissipated, and the morning light illuminated the entire land of Uruk, making Gilgamesh's palace appear even more resplendent and magnificent.
The King was already at work early in the morning. To be precise, the King had only rested for an hour last night before waking up to continue working.
Soldiers continuously carried clay tablets into the main hall, while in the side hall, Merlin quietly entered with three people.
They hadn't slept last night either, rushing through the night, finally seeing the legendary Gilgamesh at this moment!
"Information from the front line is still too slow. Sigh, it's troublesome without paper. Tell the secretaries to change the interval for making clay tablets to one hour. Try to make as many clay tablets as possible to transmit messages."
"Yes!"
"Also, there's a delay in material transportation from Eresh City. It must be that Demonic Beasts are obstructing the path. Immediately dispatch twenty people from the East Gate barracks to drive out the Demonic Beasts. Leave the site to Tim; that's his hometown, and he's more familiar with the terrain."
"Yes!"
"Oh, right. I heard Tabah's daughter gave birth? Then…"
The King sat on his throne, occasionally picking up a clay tablet to read the information on it, then using that information to arrange subsequent matters.
Everything seemed so orderly. Soldiers received their commands one by one and ran out of the divine tower hall to carry out their respective tasks.
This scene of wise governance made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash somewhat disbelieving.
"Is that King Gilgamesh? The oldest one in history? The tyrant?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in the quietest voice possible, but Gilgamesh still heard them.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, Fujimaru Ritsuka. You, where did you get the idea that I'm not a tyrant?"
Gilgamesh's voice boomed through the entire hall. Everyone turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who suddenly felt a bit nervous under so many gazes.
"Ahem, esteemed King Gilgamesh, we are from Chaldea—"
Fujimaru Ritsuka tried to introduce themselves, but Gilgamesh cut them off.
"You don't need to bother with that official jargon. I know very well who you are. All right, Siduri, take everyone else out for now. I want to have a word with these individuals."
Gilgamesh looked at Siduri, and the masked beauty, Siduri, nodded, then led the other bystanders away. Thus, only Gilgamesh and Fujimaru Ritsuka's group remained in the hall. At this point, Gilgamesh took a deep breath and spoke.
"Half a year! You've finally arrived! Do you have any idea what I've been through these past six months!?"
Gilgamesh gritted his teeth and said, full of resentment.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned.
"Huh?"
