Davidian's Holy Grail War

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was the earthen-yellow roof of the divine tower. But the fact that I was here meant that the battle was at least over safely.

"Looks like you're awake, Lord Camelot. You've had a tough battle; I never imagined you'd be pushed to this point. Your opponent was indeed very strong... Lie down and get some rest."

Gilgamesh waved to David, who was about to get up, indicating that he should just lie down. David had played a crucial role in this battle and almost actually slaughtered the Gorgons.

To be honest, this was quite beyond Gilgamesh and Merlin's expectations; they had originally thought that Davian was a safety net.

As a result, the effect of his current ruthlessness is unexpectedly good; the ultimate ability of that Noble Phantasm is indeed something that even an EX-level Clairvoyant cannot see through.

"Now that the lord has awakened, let's discuss our next steps. Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Destiny Tablet has been brought back, hasn't it?"

Let's take things one step at a time. Let's talk about Ritsuka and the others first.

Anyway, after Gorgon declared that he would break through the North Wall and destroy Uruk in ten days, the monsters stopped launching concentrated attacks on the North Wall.

They now have ample time to analyze the current situation and gather intelligence, and to formulate new tactics.

Ritsuka and the others explained what happened in Kusa City.

They also mentioned that they had shot down Ishtar, tied her up tightly with ropes, and obtained a lot of useful information while asking her questions.

However, Ritsuka stopped there.

Because King Gilgamesh had already begun to laugh wildly.

"Pfft, hahaha! Stop talking! I'm dying of laughter! This kind of adventure can't just remain a legend. Not only were we shot down, but we were also tied up."

After Ritsuka released Ishtar at the last minute, she turned around and helped them by clearing away Kusa's sea of ​​skeletons, allowing them to escape.

At this point, King Gilgamesh began to laugh wildly again. However, after a brief burst of laughter, he adopted a thoughtful expression.

He roughly understood the situation, but there was no need to explain it yet. However, since they had this connection, things would be much easier. At this moment, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Fujimaru Ritsuka's face.

Strange... I didn't see anything wrong with her.

After noticing Gilgamesh's scrutinizing gaze, Ritsuka subconsciously touched her face. There was nothing strange about it, and it wasn't dirty.

"Alright, let's leave the story there for now. Let's move on to the Destiny Tablet. Ritsuka, take out that tablet and read it."

King Gilgamesh asked Ritsuka to take out the clay tablet. Ritsuka hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should I read it myself?"

“But, but I can’t understand it…” Ritsuka explained helplessly, but King Gilgamesh said that there was no need to read it.

Simply place your hand on the clay tablet and say the corresponding incantation.

When Ritsuka recited the incantation that King Gilgamesh had taught him, his consciousness immediately floated out of his body.

When his consciousness returned to his body, everyone couldn't help but ask about his condition. Ritsuka's expression had been extremely pale just now, and no one knew what he had seen.

Only Dulixiang knew what she was seeing and hearing; it was probably the true thoughts of the mastermind behind it all.

However, this seemed to connect something, and he suddenly understood many things. Now he understood the reason for the accumulation of light and the person's goal.

"Although it's not a definite answer, judging from your expression, you must have thought of many things."

That clay tablet was a record of a scene I inadvertently witnessed on my return from the end of my exploration of the abyss.

It is the ability to find the man who calls himself the King of Magic, and to find the rare clues to the person who has burned away humanity.

Ritsuka nodded, thinking that one day he would finally understand everything that had happened.

Before that, I'll put these things in the corner of my mind. Anyway, even if I don't want to, I have to face that guy head-on.

"Alright, let's talk about the Goddess of Warcraft. The losses this time were quite heavy. Kotaro delayed the enemy's return and has probably already perished. Leonidas, who faced the enemy head-on, has also returned to his seat."

However, these are not matters for you to ponder. Mourning the dead and making amends for the losses are matters for me to consider. The current situation is that Gorgon, the goddess wielding the power of Tiamat, will launch her attack in ten days, is that correct?”

Everyone present nodded; they had all heard the Gorgon's declaration.

Merlin also explained that there were only nine days left and the intelligence related to the Gorgon. They didn't have much time to waste and had to decide on their next strategy immediately.

"That guy said that humans have never been an adversary that we need to be wary of, right? The only ones we need to be wary of are the other goddesses, which is very advantageous for us."

David chuckled as he said he had thought of this before he passed out.

I never expected that the Three Goddesses Alliance had such inside information. It would be too embarrassing if we couldn't make use of it.

Mashu was stunned. In her opinion, this was something to lament. After all, it meant that the Gorgons didn't take them seriously at all, regarding them as insignificant ants.

As a result, Mr. Davidian started laughing, Merlin and King Gilgamesh were laughing too, and even the elders realized what was happening and started laughing as well.

"As expected of you, you think really fast. That's right, this is a great opportunity for us, and our chances of winning have increased by 50%! Listen carefully, Mashu! According to your investigation, the three goddesses have different natures, and that's when we start planning."

The Gorgons are currently the strongest force and harbor hatred towards humanity, making peace negotiations impossible. Therefore, the only option left is to defeat them.

Although the Goddess of the Forest covered Ur and Eridu with dense forests, she did not harm the citizens for her own amusement, and it is still unclear what her plans are.

However, Kingu also mentioned that the other two goddesses intended to make effective use of humans, so this guy might have plans to win them over.

"She only uses what is necessary when necessary, and her judgment of the situation is very clear. She is probably the most perfect goddess."

Gilgamesh made this assessment, and then he thought of the goddess from his own mythology... Never mind the comparison, it would be too embarrassing to lose something so important.

Judging from Gilgamesh's gesture of rubbing his forehead, everyone knew he was thinking of someone again, so they could only awkwardly laugh to ease the atmosphere.

"However, now is the time when we need her strength, and it's pointless to talk about her shortcomings now."

All I can offer you is guidance on the order and methods for conquering them. Let's start with Ishtar! She's the easiest! Fujimaru Ritsuka!

"Yes!" Ritsuka, whose name was called by King Gilgamesh, immediately stood up straight. He knew that the king must have already prepared the most suitable task for him.

And the rest depends on how he completes this task.

Chapter 254 The First Goddess

“My lord, do you mean to defeat Ishtar? I am afraid I cannot comply. No matter how great the damage caused by the goddess Ishtar, she is still the city goddess of Uruk. To turn one's blade against her is something…”

Siduri stepped forward to advise them, after all, this was their own city goddess, and it was too outrageous to try to defeat her.

Her words made the men present laugh, with King Gilgamesh laughing the loudest. After he had finished laughing, he asked Siduri:

“This is truly regrettable, High Priestess Siduri… Do you really think I am such a rude person? Even Fujimaru Ritsuka realized this.”

"Huh?" Siduri looked puzzled, as did Mashu. Tomoe Gozen, though slower to react, finally understood; so there was another way.

“Ishtar may cause trouble, but she’s not an evil goddess.” Ritsuka finally pointed out this crucial point, and the others only then realized it.

It was only then that everyone began to realize what Ishtar had done. When he bombarded the ranch, there must have been monsters appearing. Taking the ranch owner's property was probably his reward to himself.

Although the way it's presented is distorted, Ishtar seems to genuinely be protecting Uruk.

She had previously stated that she would protect Uruk if Gilgamesh died. While it's true that she hoped Gilgamesh would die quickly, it wouldn't be a lie to say she would protect Uruk afterward.

"You guys, that guy is still as stupid as ever. That woman can't abandon Uruk, that's the flaw."

There's no need to defeat him; we need to recruit him to our side! Understand? Hero Fujimaru Ritsuka! Isn't this your specialty?

Gilgamesh's words made Ritsuka's eyes widen, but he eventually accepted the fact.

It will be difficult, but he will try his best. It's just Venus, the goddess of Venus, right? He'll take care of it in one fell swoop!

[They actually have to persuade that crazy, unruly goddess... That's even harder than defeating her!]

Dr. Roman also felt that this was a difficult task, but he knew in his heart that if he could accomplish it, it would be of great help, so he still had to try his best.

"But this is much more worthwhile than defeating her. After all, she is a goddess and she is on the land of Mesopotamia. If she really goes all out, there are not many people here who can outdo her."

Merlin chimed in, saying that the three of them had now blocked all their escape routes, and Ritsuka had to go.

However, Ritsuka himself had no intention of resisting; on the contrary, he was quite willing to make the trip. He would much rather persuade Ishtar with words than fight.

“But sweet words and current strength alone are not enough. We have to give that guy a taste of sweetness. Fujimaru Ritsuka, I will give you a sure-fire way to win.”

After speaking, King Gilgamesh calmly waved his hand, and golden waves spread out in front of Ritsuka. What appeared in the middle made Ritsuka's eyes widen.

"As you can see, the maximum I can provide is 30% of the ores in my treasury. Do you understand now, Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

King Gilgamesh's offer was already quite generous. After all, Ishtar was one of the pinnacle goddesses of Sumer, and she wouldn't readily agree unless he offered her enough incentives.

The saying goes, "To stroke a stubborn donkey, you must first demonstrate your strength before showing respect."

As for force, they should have enough with Davian, and Ishtar knew this, so Davian didn't need to go this time.

This treasure is more than enough to show respect; the rest depends on Ritsuka's words.

"Negotiation is the most important skill for contractors. Go and bid for the goddess beautifully!"

That woman must be having a headache over her own savings right now, and she might even be out working to plunder the people's wealth when she's bored.

Your appearance is truly a godsend! Hahahaha!

Gilgamesh was very pleased with his plan, as it had given him both face and substance.

With Ritsuka and the others' requests and negotiations, Ishtar could legitimately return to Uruk as the guardian of the city, while secretly obtaining this batch of benefits. That woman would never miss such a good opportunity.

David was about to get up to go with Ritsuka and the others, but Ritsuka and Mashu stopped him this time.

A burning determination shone in their eyes; they seemed determined to complete this mission flawlessly on their own. This was a golden opportunity to prove themselves!

Since he was being watched so closely, David could only lie back down and continue AFK farming. Although he had the magic of the Holy Grail, he had indeed exhausted too much energy this time.

The damage caused by using the ultimate ability cannot be repaired by something like the Holy Grail; one can only wait for the body to recover to its optimal state on its own.

At this moment, he waved his hand, and his sweet little darling Gareth was summoned out once again.

Seeing her father in such a miserable state, she pouted and felt extremely sad.
