Chapter 326: Gilgamesh, the Virtuous King
The seventh anomaly is set in the time of the gods BC, the Uruk dynasty of the Sumerian civilization, and the ruler is the famous tyrant Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh's rule over the city-state of Uruk can be broadly divided into three phases.
The first is the early age of being wise and good at admonishment, the second is the irritable and rebellious youth, and finally the old age of regaining wisdom after enlightenment.
By the time the Chaldea entered the Seventh Anomalous Point, Gilgamesh had already gone through a legendary journey to find the Immortal Immortal Grass.
With the rich life experience, the impetuosity and rebellion of his youth gradually precipitated, and Gilgamesh decided to rule Uruk peacefully for the rest of his life until the end of his life.
A man who calls himself Solomon, the King of Magic, sends the Holy Grail to this era, shattering Uruk's stable life.
The seventh anomaly of this era was created by a native deity of this era with the power of the Holy Grail and the body of the deceased Enkidu as the foundation to create a false soul that should not have existed.
The Chaldean duo intervened in the Seventh Peculiarity earlier, and although the countless Warcraft caused a lot of pressure on the Warcraft front, with the help of several Heroic Spirits summoned by Gilgamesh using the Uruk Cup, the Uruk side counterattacked but defended more than enough.
Lu Xiao's clairvoyance did not see any heroic spirits on the city wall, and the people who manipulated those magic cannons were all living humans in this era, and the degree of damage to the city wall was definitely not the state of the early stage of the seventh anomaly.
"Boom!"
A deafening loud bang came from a distance directly opposite the Absolute Demon Beast Battle Line, and from Lu Xiao's height, he could just see a huge axe slashing into a mountain with a majestic momentum, and the magic enchantment around the mountain flickered a few times, completely stopping.
"Uh~ It's really late."
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao immediately understood the timing of his and Artoria's intervention.
But yes, the battle with Gorgon wasn't very difficult. β
'There are two goddesses behind the scenes assisting, and there is also a goddess who directly joins the battle, and it's strange that we can't win, and there is no room for us to play. β
But then it was different. β
Artoria was unaware of this era, and her original intention was to repay "herself" for her mistakes at the Sixth Anomaly by preventing the burning of people.
The Chaldeans have played an important role in the restoration of the human sciences, and Artoria intends to help them complete the restoration of this last peculiarity.
Riding East Stalien to Lu Xiao's side, Artoria looked at the giant axe and asked, "Lu Xiao, where should we go first?" Straight into the fray? β
Lu Xiao thought about it for a while: "No, let's go to Uruk City and say hello to the local ruler first." β
Gorgon's fate cannot be changed, she is just a pawn in the hands of the real mastermind, and the combat power of the Chaldean duo should be enough.
Lu Xiao and Gilgamesh were enemies of each other in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but there was no grudge between the two that could not be resolved, just normal Holy Grail War rivals.
Moreover, Gilgamesh of the Seventh Strange Point is not a Heroic Spirit, but a human living in this era, and he does not have the memory of participating in the Holy Grail War after becoming a Heroic Spirit, so there is no need to worry about being embarrassed when they meet.
As the queen of Warcraft, the monsters created by Gurgon are all ground types, and they are relatively safe in the air.
This was also the reason why the previous god was unscrupulous in the air, she probably didn't expect anyone to stop in the air at all, which caused the previous accidental impact.
Sitting behind Artoria and riding their horses together, the two approached from the air in the direction of the Warcraft front.
In order to avoid misunderstanding among the soldiers defending the city, Artoria chose to detour from the mountain area at the suggestion of Lu Xiao, avoiding the garrison range of the Warcraft battle line and officially entering the core area of the Uruk city-state.
Because Gilgamesh received refugees from all over the city-state of Uruk, the capital city of Uruk was several times larger than it was at the same time in history.
"Gah!"
Just as the two of them were admiring the magnificent city of Uruk from above, an ugly cry suddenly sounded from above the sacred tower in the center of the city.
A huge wyvern-like fantasy species spread its wings and flew towards the two of them, while deliberately releasing a loud scream to alert the inhabitants of the city.
"It's a fantasy with a high degree of intelligence...... Isn't this guy a pterodactyl? β
Pterodactyls are one of the dinosaurs that have been extinct on Earth for a long time, and they should not have existed in the era of the rise of humans.
A large number of magic patterns can be seen on the wings and body of the pterosaur that is approaching the two, and it should be the upper fantasy species of the pterosaur, and its combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
"Wait!"
A clear call came from the front of the sacrificial ground under the tower, and a heroic man with a white cloth on his head stopped the pterosaur's intent to attack, and his eyes were fixed on Artoria and Lu Xiao.
"Let them come."
"Ga~"
The pterosaur looked a little reluctant, but it finally obeyed the man's order, folded its wings and landed again on the tower, its eyes wary as it watched the descending Heroic Horse.
'EX-class clairvoyance......
Gilgamesh of the Seventh Anomaly is not the arrogant hero king that most people are familiar with.
As early as the early days of the Three Goddesses Alliance, he saw Uruk's final ending through his clairvoyance, which possessed future vision.
Even with the full force of the Deviant Sword, Gilgamesh would not be able to protect his people from the schemes of those behind it.
After some deliberation, Gilgamesh decided to seal the Obedient Sword, which consumed a lot of mana.
He took out a large number of treasures to enhance his magic power from the king's treasure, leaving only a small number of spell-based treasures, and used most of the treasures in the treasure house as cannonballs for the Warcraft battle line.
This was the most suitable choice made by Gilgamesh after calculating various unfolding, and the construction of the Warcraft front allowed Uruk to hold out for half a year, much longer than Gilgamesh's solo assault support.
Gilgamesh, who was in Uruk, focused most of his energy on command and coordination, entrusting the task of fighting on the front lines to the seven Heroes he had summoned.
Complicated thoughts flashed in their minds, and Lu Xiao and Artoria had landed steadily in front of the gate of the divine tower, looking at Gilgamesh dressed as a magician.
"Hmph~"
Although the elder Gilgamesh is a little less aggressive, more tolerant and patient than he was in his youth, his arrogant nature has not changed essentially.
After carefully looking at Lu Xiao and Artoria, the corners of Gilgamesh's mouth hooked up with all the interested and arrogant smiles.
"This king can't see your future, it's interesting."
"Based on the stories of the first six anomalies told by Matthew during the previous outing, you should be Assassin Lu Xiao and the Lion King from the sixth anomaly, right?"
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "I didn't expect King Gilgamesh to know about us, but I need to correct it, this is no longer the Lion King." β
Gilgamesh looked at Artoria and nodded in acknowledgement, "Indeed, this king can't feel her divinity, so he must have regained his humanity after losing the holy spear." β
It's also interesting to say that the two men had fought each other in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but now Gilgamesh and Artoria are both living humans, and they have no memory of that battle.
"Well, whoever comes is a guest."
Gilgamesh turned and walked towards the inside of the sacrificial arena, beckoning the two to follow.
"Although the problem of GΓΆrgonne is about to be solved, the real problem is just beginning."
"This king is thinking about how to make up for the gap in combat power, you have come at the right time, come in with me."
