Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Mashu, as always, was full of energy and greeted Gudaofu with great enthusiasm. Fou, who was standing on her shoulder, also chimed in with a similar greeting.

On the contrary, Gudao looked tired and replied listlessly:

Good morning. Haha~~~~~

Seeing this, Mashu asked with concern:

"Didn't you sleep well last night, senior?"

Faced with Mashu's concern, Gudao scratched his head and said:

"Well...about the same."

Although Gudako didn't teach him much last night, only explaining some principles and basics, he couldn't help but overthink after returning to his room.

Because that spell, called the Spirit Origin Shadow Summoning Technique, contained too many things that shocked him, such as...

However, Gudako asked him to keep it a secret, and of course he had to keep his promise, so he could only brush Mash off.

He quickly changed the subject, looking around and only seeing Merlin and Anna at the dining table, saying:

"Speaking of which, hasn't Gudako gotten up yet?"

Mashu, as expected, was drawn to the new topic and smiled helplessly:

"I already called Gudako, but she said she wanted to sleep for another ten minutes, so..."

Upon hearing this, Gudao couldn't help but laugh.

Only at this moment does Gudako's behavior truly match her appearance, making her seem like a genuine teenage girl.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka finally came downstairs, everyone had breakfast together and then headed to the Shinto Tower.

"Good morning, Your Majesty! And Miss Siduri too!"

Good morning, everyone.

"—Fujimaru, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Gudao and the others, Siduri smiled and nodded gently in greeting. Gilgamesh, no longer with his usual cold expression, revealed a rare smile.

Having successfully recruited two goddess Servants, Ishtar and Ereshkage, and simultaneously disrupted a corner of the "Three Goddess Alliance," the Chaldea group has fully demonstrated their value and is certainly worthy of his trust.

"Although it may seem a bit late to say this now, yesterday's operation was well done. The thousand people who came back from the dead asked me to express their gratitude to you on their behalf."

Upon hearing this, Gudao and Mashu were both excited and pleasantly surprised.

"Yes!"

On the other end of the communication device, Dr. Roman couldn't help but sigh:

"Who would have thought that King Gilgamesh's attitude towards us now is so different from what it was back then?"

"Because Fujimaru and the others have already proven their worth."

Gilgamesh gave a brief reply, then immediately became serious and said:

"Now let's get down to business."

"According to the original plan, after conquering Ereshkagil, the next target was Quetzal Coyatt from South American mythology. However, unfortunately, the plan has changed."

"There is a more important task to be addressed now."

A more important task?

Upon hearing this, the Chaldea group was somewhat puzzled, but remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue.

Gilgamesh paused for a moment, then continued:

"Nipouri is about to fall."

Chapter 447 The Great Rescue Operation for the Citizens of Nippur

Nippur is a city located on the northern wall of Uruk, left behind on the other side of the monster battle line. It is a fortified city of the same level as Uruk.

Despite being surrounded by monsters, they have managed to hold out until now by stubbornly defending the city.

However, facing the almost endless army of monsters, Nippur City, which stood outside the monster front, was ultimately outnumbered and its situation became increasingly difficult in the battle against the monster tide.

Therefore, before the Chaldean group arrived, they had already begun to arrange the evacuation and relocation of the citizens and soldiers of Nippur.

Since the monsters are still flesh and blood and need to eat and sleep, they cannot launch a continuous attack. So, while the monsters are resting, they replenish supplies to Nippur City and arrange for the citizens to be evacuated in batches.

However, the enemy eventually discovered their movements and increased the frequency of patrols around Nippur, making their operations increasingly difficult.

Due to logistical difficulties and continuous troop losses, the defenses of Nippur City are now on the verge of collapse and can no longer be held as fiercely as before.

After giving a brief explanation of the situation in Nippur, Gilgamesh said:

"There are about three days until the next major monster attack. Before then, everyone in Nippur must be evacuated."

Mashu understood:

"So, it's a large-scale rescue operation, right?"

"That's right!"

Gilgamesh gave the order:

"Without further ado, you shall proceed to the northern face of Uruk!"

"Leonidas will be responsible for arranging the specific battle plan."

"Yes!"

Gudao and the others nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

However, just as they were about to set off, they suddenly noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka was still standing there motionless, seemingly lost in thought.

Gudao asked with some doubt:

"Miss Gudako?"

"……what."

Hearing the call, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally snapped out of her daze, and facing everyone's gaze, smiled and said:

"let's go."

On her way to the north wall of Uruk, Fujimaru Ritsuka once again pondered the matter of Nippur.

Because of her intervention, the Chaldea group's actions and experiences in this world differed from hers, but the city of Nippur should not have been affected by her.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon should make her first appearance in Nippur City, just as she remembers, and meet Gudao and the others for the first time.

Although we now have the goddesses Ishtar and Ereshkigal on our side, Ereshkigal is in the underworld and is unlikely to play a significant role in the battle, so the situation remains far from optimistic.

After all, the enemy is Gorgon and Kingu, who possess Tiamat's special abilities and the Holy Grail's amplification.

So the question is, what should she do?

……

...

"Lord Fujimaru, everyone!"

As the group arrived at the northern wall of Uruk, they had just entered the garrison area when they saw Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei excitedly waving and rushing towards them.

"Ushiwakamaru!"

Gudao responded just as happily, and Ushiwakamaru came to the front of the group, excitedly saying:

"Everyone's finally here! I've been looking forward to this moment!"

"This is our first time fighting together, just thinking about it is enough to boost our morale!"

Upon hearing this, Mashu happily echoed:

"Come to think of it, this is indeed the first time we've all gotten together to carry out the same mission!"

Ishtar put her hands behind her head and said listlessly:

"Speaking of which, this task just requires clearing out some monsters and bringing the people back, right?"

"Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over such a simple task?"

Upon hearing her say that, Gudao instinctively glanced around.

Mashu, Merlin, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Anna, Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, Ishtar, and Leonidas I, who is not here for the time being.

The vast majority of their high-end combat forces have been gathered together, which is indeed a very large undertaking.

"That's a bad word."

However, Ushiwakamaru shook his head and said:

"Judging from the last Warcraft offensive, it seems that the enemy has produced another excellent commander who is no less capable than Kitaburier, and should not be underestimated."

"Moreover, King Gilgamesh speculated that the commander might be King Gu."

Incidentally, Kitaburi was the general in charge of commanding magical beasts before the arrival of Chaldea. In a previous battle, one of the Servants summoned by Gilgamesh, Tomoe Gozen, perished together with the enemy.

"Jin Gu...!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone's expression immediately tightened.

During their journey to the underworld yesterday, they not only successfully won over Ereshkigal, but Gilgamesh also took the opportunity to visit the grave of his close friend Enkidu on his way out.

As a divine weapon forged by the gods, Enkidu would easily attract the covetous eyes of others if buried in the human world. In addition, Enkidu had a good relationship with Ereshkigal during his lifetime, so Gilgamesh simply buried him in the underworld.

However, after visiting Enkidu's tomb, Gilgamesh gave a resolute answer—

Enkidu's body has disappeared.

This news essentially confirmed the information provided by Fujimaru Ritsuka—Kingu's body did indeed originate from Enkidu.

In other words, there is no difference in their functions.

"Tsk, if it really is that guy, then we're in trouble."

Ishtar, who had been bored, suddenly became serious.

Having been beaten up by Enkidu many times, she is certainly qualified to speak on this topic.
