The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

At this moment, the Uruk warriors in the rear ranks also began to waver.

The reason is simple: the being standing at the front of their formation is none other than the sage Enkidu, a friend of the king who has sacrificed much for Uruk and guided their king, leading him to make changes.

And this person is now their adversary.

"That's not Lord Enkidu!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Lord Enkidu would never show such an evil smile!"

"Yes, Lord Enkidu would never have such an expression!"

"Who are you? Why are you impersonating Lord Enkidu?!"

However, this wavering quickly turned into anger.

The warriors of Uruk banged their weapons and shields, hurling insults at the people before them.

If it weren't for the fact that many generals were still maintaining military discipline, they would have already charged forward and fought to the death without a care in the world.

"...Enkidu, is that it?"

Joan of Arc gripped the battle flag tightly, her eyes fixed solemnly on her opponent.

After arriving in this era, she also learned about the name Enkidu.

A sage who was the king's friend and guided him to the path of a wise ruler.

At the same time, he was also an incredibly powerful warrior.

Although it's unknown whether this Enkidu is the real Enkidu, his strength is undeniable, and it's also certain that he's on the opposing side.

Therefore, fighting is the only option.

"Really, is this what they call 'old humans'? The facts are right in front of them, yet they still refuse to believe them, letting their emotions override their reason. How utterly foolish."

However, the being that appeared to be Enkidu paid no attention to Joan of Arc before him, and instead sighed to himself.

"I had hoped to shake up these worthless pieces of trash that were putting up meaningless resistance, but it seems to have had a slightly counterproductive effect... But what about the pillar of support? With her abilities, surely she could recognize this machine?"

Enkidu looked towards Uruk in the distance, seemingly meeting those dark silver eyes.

"If only it could make you break down completely... Looks like that's not going to be so easy, is it?"

Enkidu shifted his gaze and surveyed the Uruk army formation.

"Meaningless bloodshed, destruction no matter what... Fine, I'll see how long these pieces of trash can hold out... Until then, I'll give you some small gifts as a greeting present."

No sooner had Enkidu finished speaking with a mocking tone than countless chains shot out from the ground once more.

However, their target was not Joan of Arc who was right in front of them... but rather the densely packed Uruk soldiers behind her!

Chapter 40 Troublesome Situation

Watching the chains fly by, Joan of Arc gritted her teeth inwardly; her worst fear had come true.

With the enemy launching such a wide-ranging attack on the rear, even she couldn't possibly protect everyone.

So... the only way...

Although it's quite difficult, we can only try to defeat the caster first!

Joan of Arc's eyes narrowed, and she raised her banner, ready to charge toward Enkidu.

However, several chains suddenly changed direction, blocking Joan of Arc's path.

"It happened!"

Restrained by the chains, Joan of Arc had no time to launch a second charge.

"Raise your shields and block!"

Faced with the approaching chains, Uruk's commander gritted his teeth and immediately issued the order.

However, even the commander himself didn't know how useful it would be.

After all, although they had never officially witnessed Enkidu's martial prowess, they had heard that he possessed the strength to fight a king who could single-handedly break through a city.

Although the person before him was certainly not Enkidu, the king's close friend, the aura emanating from him was in no way diminished.

Faced with such a powerful attack, the commander could hardly feel any sense of security from the shields held above him by the surrounding guards.

Just as the chains reached the sky above the Uruk army formation and were about to fall, countless blue arrows of light shot from afar, accurately shattering each chain.

"Ok?"

The man who resembled Enkidu raised an eyebrow and used the same trick again, turning the chains into countless weapons that flew towards Uruk's army once more.

However, the second wave of arrows of light still accurately neutralized every weapon.

Enkidu (presumably) finally got a little serious and was about to make another move when she suddenly clicked her tongue, tilted her head slightly, and an arrow of light whizzed past her ear.

"That's enough. If you want to continue, then I'll be your opponent."

At some point, Arjuna, dressed in white, stood beside Joan of Arc, facing Enkidu (presumably) alongside her.

"Oh?"

Enkidu (presumably) raised the corner of his mouth.

"India's great hero? While letting you leave here is an option, now is not the time to get entangled with you any further..."

As he spoke, Enkidu's (presumably) body gradually turned into soil and flowed into the earth.

"Then let's leave the battle to be decided next time... if you can live to see that day."

Just as Enkidu merged into the earth, a frenzied horde of monsters surged forth once more.

Arjuna frowned, nocked an arrow, and shot it. The arrow turned into a rain of light on its way, annihilating all the attacking monsters. Then he turned to look at Joan of Arc.

"It seems he really has left... Is he alright?"

"Yes, I am not injured, but why is Mr. Arjuna...?"

Joan of Arc asked Arjuna with some curiosity.

Although the three of them were fighting within the defensive line, because the line was extremely long, they naturally had to stay far apart and generally wouldn't interfere with the situation on the other side.

"You've made such a commotion here... I think even Saber must have noticed, right? It's just that because I got here first, she hasn't made any special moves yet."

"Is that so... Anyway, thank you so much. If it weren't for Arjuna's help, the losses here would have been incalculable... By the way, it would be better to go back and report to Master about what happened earlier."

"Yes... Well then, since you witnessed the whole thing, the report is yours. For now, Saber and I will hold the line."

Arjuna nodded and drew his bow again to clear out another wave of minions.

"I understand. I'll be back as soon as possible."

────────────────────────────────

On the city wall, Orpheus shifted his gaze from the front lines to the first messenger to arrive.

"Regarding the dense forest that suddenly appeared in the south, as I just mentioned, let's send people to try to explore it first. Don't go in directly. Start from the periphery and advance slowly."

"Ah, yes!"

The messenger received the order and quickly left, while Orpheus also strode off.

"Wait, Your Majesty, although it hasn't been fully confirmed, this is still quite important intelligence!"

Hiduri, standing nearby, became anxious and quickly said something.

"what?"

Orpheus then stopped walking.

"Just now, the scouts who were sent to the north to investigate reported back that someone suspected to be the enemy commander has been discovered... However, I believe this intelligence needs to be reconfirmed."

"who is it?"

"...According to the scouts' report, it's...it's Lord Enkidu!"

"Oh, I see."

"king?"

The unexpectedly lukewarm reaction made Sidduri look at Orpheus with curiosity.

"There's no need to reconfirm; the scouts did a good job."

"Eh?"

Hiduri stared in astonishment, but Orpheus had already turned and left towards the temple without looking back.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, you don't mean to say that the enemy commander is really that sir?"

I never expected this; I thought even you would waver slightly.

"Qi already knew, didn't she?"

[Yeah, I saw it the first time. What, you saw it too?]

Why won't you say?

"Well... like I said, if I told you directly and definitively, it might lead you to make the wrong judgment. So I think it's better to let you gradually move from doubt to confirmation, and at the same time, prepare yourself mentally during this process... Besides, for charlatans like us, there needs to be a sense of mystery, like 'I know, but I'm just not telling you,' right? What's the fun in just telling you everything?"

"..."

Orpheus felt that the last one was the real reason.

It's been so long since we last spoke that I've almost forgotten that guy also has a bit of a mental illness.

It wasn't until Orpheus entered the inner hall of the temple that Siduri caught up with him, as if only just realizing what was happening.

"Hiddeni, he really is getting stuck on a nitpicky point."

"No way! The king is too lenient. This is a very important issue! If that person really is Lord Enkidu, there's a high chance that the morale of Uruk will collapse!"

Hiduri was on the verge of a breakdown. It was really hard to keep up with the thinking of a king who was so unpredictable.

"Oh, it seems I've heard some rather interesting news."

At this moment, Merlin swaggered in with Hercules.

"Good morning everyone! Merlin, your trusted advisor, has arrived!"
