"Ah~~~"
Tiamat was striding forward, her gaze fixed on Uruk, step by step, with Lahmu continuously emerging around her.
Lahmu were constantly being born, especially the flying Lahmu. It seemed Tiamat realized regular Lahmu posed little threat to Mo Shuying and the others, so she specifically produced flying ones. Now, around her, the Lahmu had formed a black cloud. Dr. Roman had given up counting them, as there were at least over a million!
When Dr. Roman told Mo Shuying this, Mo Shuying just smiled.
Only a million, he thought. That's really not many. In the original story, Tiamat, with a Holy Grail, brought hundreds of millions of her children to attack the city.
However, there was little difference between hundreds of millions and a million; Uruk couldn't stop either. Tiamat didn't even need to act herself; given enough time, these Lahmu alone could destroy Uruk.
Looking at Uruk now.
The remaining soldiers had taken their positions. The artillerymen were ready to operate the Divine Authority Seal to fire that resonant shot! Ordinary soldiers, following Leonidas and others, stood atop Uruk's south gate! Facing the steadily approaching Tiamat!
"Aaaaaahhh!!"
At this distance, people could already see and hear.
Mo Shuying appeared on the city wall. He could see some soldiers' hands trembling. This was normal; Mo Shuying wondered if he didn't have these abilities, he wouldn't do any better than them.
"Ereshkigal, how much longer?"
Mo Shuying spoke. The mirror stood beside him, showing Ereshkigal's arduous efforts.
Ereshkigal was very close. After learning of the urgency, Ereshkigal had barely rested, diligently moving the Underworld. Success was now within reach!
"Almost, almost, almost! One hour at most!!"
Ereshkigal indicated she was truly doing her best. Although she was the Underworld Goddess, dragging a massive world underground was incredibly arduous.
"Thank you, Ereshkigal. Go ahead and do it, we'll buy you this time!"
Mo Shuying's expression was serious. Whether the plan succeeded depended on whether they could stall for time.
*BOOM!*
A roar sounded, and Mo Shuying turned his head. Nabu's Fang had finally been destroyed by the black tide. A massive black tide surged in through the裂缝, quickly crashing against Uruk's city walls!
*RUMBLE!!*
"Hold steady! Everyone hold steady!"
The impact of the black tide made the city wall tremble. Leonidas shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to stabilize, but soon he heard a soldier's cry of alarm.
"General! Look!"
A sharp-eyed soldier had already spotted a dark cloud rushing in from the horizon. It wasn't actually a dark cloud, but an immense number of flying Lahmu!
"They're here! Soldiers! Grip your weapons! Don't forget what I taught you! Prepare for battle!!"
Leonidas roared. Not only did the soldiers raise their weapons, but the Divine Authority Seal also began to adjust its cannons, aiming at the direction of the incoming Lahmu.
These Lahmu flew very fast. They were Tiamat's vanguard, aiming to occupy Uruk before Tiamat arrived and present it to her!
"Gah gah gah gah! Uruk! Uruk!!"
After days of evolution, most of the Lahmu had learned to use human language.
They shrieked and charged, and then!
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!*
A large number of Lahmu directly crashed into a transparent Boundary Field. Many Lahmu were instantly killed upon impact with the Boundary Field, showing just how fast these creatures could fly.
"What's that?"
Gilgamesh frowned, then looked at Mo Shuying.
Mo Shuying was smiling, holding a short sword inlaid with a Philosopher's Stone.
After drinking with those soldiers, he was truly bored, so Mo Shuying had asked Gilgamesh for some magical materials, as Gilgamesh wouldn't use them anyway.
After getting several tons of materials, Mo Shuying switched to Hohenheim's Class Card and used these materials to create many Philosopher's Stones. He then placed all of them on the south side of Uruk, creating a simple, temporary!
Elemental Temple!
Hohenheim possessed an A-rank Territory Creation skill. He could not only create a Magecraft Workshop but also, given the right conditions, even a temple.
Normally, building a temple was not easy and required many preparations.
But this time, conditions were ample, materials were abundant, and Mo Shuying didn't intend to create a long-lasting temple, just a temporary one. So, using Philosopher's Stones! He literally stacked them to create a temple-level territory! It felt great being a rich guy!
And what stood before the many Lahmu at this moment was the temple's elemental Boundary Field! A Boundary Field with the power of five elements was not only sturdy but also!
Counterattacked!
*BOOM!!*
The impacted Boundary Field began its counterattack.
Earth, water, fire, wind, and void—the powers of the 5 great elements manifested on the Boundary Field: fireballs, ice shards! petrification! wind blades! aether blades!
Various attacks continuously shot out, killing the approaching Lahmu!
Furthermore, five elemental spirits, several meters tall, began to coalesce, stirring up an incredibly powerful elemental tide!
"So powerful!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash stood together. They knew this was Mo Shuying's Boundary Field because Mo Shuying hadn't finished setting it up when they woke, and they had watched him arrange everything.
Mo Shuying simply smiled at the praise.
He knew this Boundary Field wouldn't last long. The Philosopher's Stone was rapidly depleting, and once it was gone, the Boundary Field would fail.
Gilgamesh could see these issues. After all, he was also a man with Territory Creation A. The entirety of Uruk was a temple-grade territory he had designed and built with magic; Uruk was not merely a simple city.
"Divine Authority Seals, prepare!"
Gilgamesh shouted. There were only about fifty Divine Authority Seals operated by soldiers, and upon hearing the command, they aimed at the Lahmu swarm.
Although the Boundary Field blocked most of the Lahmu, some of them still had brains. They knew they could circle widely to bypass the Boundary Field and attack Uruk.
There was nothing for it; Uruk was too large, and time was short. Mo Shuying couldn't protect the entire city, only one side.
And once they bypassed the Boundary Field, these Lahmu would be free!
"Caw, caw, caw! Kill!"
A Lahmu climbed over the Boundary Field, yelling as it charged towards the city wall, but just as it crossed!
*"Pfft!"*
A spear pierced its large mouth, sending it back towards the Boundary Field.
Leonidas had several bundles of spears behind him. He grabbed one and threw it with immense strength and magical power. Even though the spear was an ordinary weapon, it could still pierce the Lahmu's hide!
It wasn't just Leonidas acting.
As more Lahmu climbed over the Boundary Field, they were met with a barrage of golden artillery fire!
*"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"*
For a moment, the edge of the Boundary Field was engulfed in explosions. If you dared to show your head, the soldiers would blast you into oblivion with cannon fire!
