Davidian's Holy Grail War

The casualties among the soldiers weren't that great, after all, the First Legion was holding the line, and even if they were defeated, they could be summoned again. Having the Holy Grail as a source of magic power was just that awesome.

"Let the wounded rest in shifts, and I will arrange the supplies." Gilgamesh sighed. With Davian holding the line, the battle damage on the north wall was indeed quite impressive.

However, under such high pressure, the soldiers were under great mental strain, and it would be very difficult to manage without supplies.

"Today, all the soldiers and officers in Uruk can go and rest. With David as commander, there won't be any problems with the north wall. David, can you do it?"

King Gilgamesh gave the order that humans, unlike their followers, still needed rest.

Davidian nodded casually, indicating that these were all minor matters, and that entrusting the entire North Wall to the four Servants today was not a problem.

Just as he was about to leave, Ritsuka and the others arrived. It seemed they had new tasks to be assigned to them.

"We're here to find something. We're heading to Kusa City to retrieve the Destiny Tablets," Gilgamesh explained to the group that had arrived.

Ritsuka remembered that they had heard Siduri mention this thing before, and Merlin's trip was also to find it, but he didn't find it.

"Oh dear. This is quite an unexpected task. Is the Tablet of Destiny definitely in Kusa City?" Merlin inquired carefully, after all, he had been sent out by Gilgamesh to search around.

But then Gilgamesh himself remembered, and he had to ask more questions.

Gilgamesh simply nodded in response to his question and explained that he had seen the future in Kusa City on his way back to Uruk from the underworld.

He entered a meditative state there, then recorded his destiny on clay tablets before returning.

Furthermore, because it was recorded during meditation, there is no prior or subsequent memory of it.

If that clay tablet isn't found, even he, the one who wrote it down, won't know what's written on it.

This is still quite troublesome.

"So, you were writing in your diary while you were asleep?" Ritsuka couldn't believe such a thing could happen. Was she sleepwalking? Absolutely, right? King Gilgamesh must have written a bunch of things while sleepwalking.

Gilgamesh, however, did not get angry at what he said, but patiently explained:

"Occasionally, although destiny is something bestowed by the gods, I obtained it through these clairvoyant eyes. Sometimes I suddenly learn about futures that have nothing to do with me and record them unconsciously."

The smiles on everyone's faces fell slightly, but Merlin and Davidian didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

After all, David knew that these people with the qualifications of Grand Magicians looked strange from a special perspective. Even if they acted normally, their essence was still very different from that of ordinary humans.

"Although it means nothing to me, it may be a priceless treasure to others. The magical beasts are unlikely to understand its value, and it is very likely that they will leave it unattended."

Gilgamesh's explanation of the clay tablets ended there; he had other things to instruct Ritsuka and the others on.

"By the way, gather some information about Ishtar along the way. There are several ranches on the road there, and the ranchers have been reporting losses caused by Ishtar for several days in a row. Go and find out the details."

Ritsuka perked up at the mention of this; they had finally received a mission related to the Three Goddesses Alliance. This was a rare opportunity, and they were determined to make the most of it.

When Gilgamesh heard them include Ishtar in the Three Goddess Alliance, he paused for a moment, then smiled, as if he thought something interesting was about to happen.

Davidian noticed the change in his expression, and good heavens...

Gilgamesh even lied to him about this. He previously mentioned the Three Goddesses Alliance, but he only knew that the northern one was the Goddess of Beasts and the southern one was the Goddess of the Forest. He didn't know about the third pillar.

Judging from his expression, he clearly knew who the Third Pillar was. Yet he chose to keep it a secret even from Davian. Gilgamesh, you're something else!

This led David to believe that Ishtar was part of the Three Goddesses Alliance, and he even compared it to the old man's advice point by point.

Only after deducing this did he finally understand the correct situation.

Tiamat, the goddess of the northern beasts, is undoubtedly a person filled with hatred, while the goddess of the forest is a person filled with joy. The unknown third pillar of divinity is definitely a person filled with pain.

That matches up perfectly, there's no problem at all.

He couldn't help but glance at Merlin beside him. Davidian now even suspected that Merlin and Gilgamesh had completely conspired to put on an act.

Those two old bastards managed to keep everything from us! You two are really something.

"Then let's go! David, you lead them to the North Gate. If you can let them through, there won't be any problem. This mission won't take too long; they should be back in three days. Go and broaden their horizons."

King Gilgamesh waved his hand, signaling that they could leave and make preparations. After all, they still had three days to go, and they needed to bring everything they needed.

Davidian also went with them to the Chaldean embassy, ​​and the Chaldean group was very happy.

After all, it was an appointment from the king, and there was also a reward of twenty silver coins for witches, so even Anna was happy.

Even though she had just returned, she rushed back to her room to pack her things. She was determined to go this time!

David grabbed Merlin's clothes and told him to keep an eye on these people.

If anything goes wrong, Davidian wouldn't mind cutting Merlin's hair off strand by strand and making him bald before going out in public.

He's absolutely capable of doing something like that now.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this is a small matter. But you need to be careful. I feel that guy up north is about to burst, so you need to be cautious."

Merlin also reminded David to be wary of that guy in the north; things had come to this point, and she was sure she wouldn't be able to hold back any longer.

David nodded to indicate that he understood; Morgan had said something similar to him before.

He is now constantly on guard against the arrival of that guy from the north, and it goes without saying that ordinary human soldiers would be no match for him.

If they want to fight, they still have to rely on the four remaining Servants. The mission of Servants is to fight.

This is a fight for humanity, a fight for Ritsuka and the others' future, which makes it all the more joyful.

However, the Northern Beast Goddess was not the most critical issue, and Merlin also warned David An not to be expelled from the battle prematurely.

His real adversary was someone else, and the thought of that gave Davidian a headache.

Making others sacrifice for you is probably unavoidable...

Chapter 249 Tiamat

After Ritsuka and the others set off, North Wall enjoyed two peaceful days.

The well-rested soldiers returned to the battlefield and stopped all the attacking monsters.

David and Leonidas directed their soldiers to further reinforce the defenses of the north wall, killing as many of the mere monsters as they came.

However, on this third day, Davidian felt a sense of unease from the early morning for some reason.

Something seemed to be bothering his thoughts. He disliked this inexplicable feeling, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Just as all the soldiers began to eat in shifts at noon, and Davidian's worries eased somewhat, the earth began to tremble.

Davidian immediately stood up and activated the Dark Sword. Most people might have thought it was an earthquake, but Davidian knew perfectly well that was impossible; something enormous was rushing down from underground towards the North Wall!

"They chose this time...when Ritsuka and the others are coming back! Could it be..."

Shocked, David jumped off the city wall, unleashing a torrent of destructive dark magic. His Dark Sword, having already read the Evil Dragon Fantasy Book three times, was eager to reap lives.

The instant he landed, he plunged the dark sword into the ground, and dark magic coalesced into a massive sword aura that surged forward from underground. An explosion occurred underground, and David clicked his tongue…

That was a bad shot; I missed, and my opponent retaliated with the same tactic.

"All soldiers, return to the Seal of God! Ascend the walls and prepare for battle! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Leonidas shouted, ordering everyone to ascend the walls.

Davidian had already engaged the enemy first, and had not yet managed to defeat them, which was enough to explain what exactly had come this time.

The earth cracked open, and a colossal form rose from the ground. David's eyes widened. Was this the true form of the Northern Beast Goddess? This didn't match Tiamat at all. If anything, this was…

"Could it be... could it be!"

"It's even bigger than the former Fenbaba in the cedar forest... It must be, it must be!"

"It's the Northern Goddess of Beasts! It really is Tiamat!"

The soldiers cried out in terror, but at that moment Leonidas suddenly banged his shield.

The heavy sound brought all the soldiers on the city wall to their senses; Leonidas's sudden action had drawn everyone's attention.

"Calm down! I am still here, and Lord David is still here! How can we be afraid or waver when the North Wall has not yet fallen! Do not forget what you are supposed to do! Return to the side of the Seal of God and fully support Lord David's battle!"

Leonidas's powerful voice quickly calmed the Uruk soldiers. Yes, Leonidas was still alive, Lord Davidian was still alive! The north wall was still there, and they could not surrender now.

"Archers, follow me! Light the arrows and prepare to attack. Don't be intimidated by the enemy; be prepared for a full-scale battle!"

Tomoe Gozen raised her great bow. How could she admit defeat before the battle had even begun?

The Warcraft Goddess watched with great interest as these humans, resembling ants, scurried about. Only after everyone was ready did she speak:

"How noisy, humans! Humanity's nemesis, the leader of the Three Goddess Alliance, the monster you fearfully call the Beast Goddess—Tiamat, the Mother of Beasts—has appeared. Shouldn't you prostrate yourselves on your knees, offering wails and prayers?"

She fully demonstrated to everyone what divine arrogance was. Davidian did not let his guard down; he secretly transmitted his voice to Kotaro behind him:

[Kotaro, don't stay here. Go to Ritsuka's side quickly. I feel something's wrong. This is an order from the lord! You must bring Ritsuka back to me no matter what, even if it costs you your life!]

【Yes! Kotaro Fuma! Attack immediately!】 Upon receiving the order, Kotaro immediately bypassed the so-called Tiamat god in front of him from the other side.

It wasn't that Tiamat couldn't sense his departure. It was just that, in her perception, Kotaro's actions seemed more like choosing to run away after seeing an invincible enemy.

"It is thanks to you, Lord David of Camelot, that the Warcraft front has been able to hold out until this moment. But all of this ends here. The moment I arrived, the North Wall lost all hope."

She stretched out her enormous body to her fullest extent, and only then could everyone fully see her majestic divine form.

Its enormous wings spread out as if blotting out the sky, and its tangled hair forming a snake's head hissed. This is the kind of being that is the monster among monsters.

However, Davidian did not back down; on the contrary, he was unusually ignited. This was no joke; it was a rare battle against God.

“As long as I am here, so is hope. Besides, we have long wanted to try. Let’s see if we can accomplish the great feat of slaying a god with this mortal body. Tiamat, the mother of beasts, you are our best touchstone.”

After Davidian finished speaking, he pointed his dark sword at the sky, and the First Legion descended from the heavens.

Upon seeing this tiny army of humans, Tiamat laughed and mocked:
