The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Altira remained silent, while Joan of Arc smiled faintly and answered on behalf of both of them.

Orpheus nodded, then raised his palm, and the purple mist began to condense, eventually forming a snake biting its own tail.

"I'll have to rely on you all from now on... so accept my power as the 'serpent'."

Chapter 85 The Qualification to Face It Directly

"Oh my, is this the King of Uruk? This is the first time I've seen him up close."

Sitting in his chair, Orpheus let Quetzalcoatl pinch and poke his face repeatedly, staring at Ritsuka and the others with indifferent eyes.

"Hahaha……"

To this, Ritsuka could only offer a helpless, bitter smile.

Finally, Orpheus sighed.

"Please explain."

────────────────────────────────

"Yeah……"

After listening to Ritsuka's explanation, Orpheus nodded.

To summarize, the gist is that Quetzalcoatl never intended to be hostile to humanity. He joined the Three Goddesses Alliance to seize the Holy Grail first, thereby restraining the other goddesses and protecting humanity. The three hundred warriors were not actually killed, but were taken back to Quetzalcoatl's stronghold for protection.

After Ritsuka and the others successfully infiltrated, they had various encounters with Quetzalcoatl. As a result, Quetzalcoatl developed an overwhelming affection for Ritsuka and decided to become her Servant, joining the Uruk faction.

"Um... you don't seem surprised at all?"

Ritsuka looked at Orpheus with some confusion, whose expression seemed to have not changed much.

"Did you anticipate this situation?"

"no."

Orpheus, however, simply denied it.

"As long as the probability is not zero, there is nothing to be surprised about."

Perhaps it's more reasonable for Quetzalcoatl, who is the epitome of goodness, to do good deeds.

“Is, is that so…”

Ritsuka's lips twitched. As long as it's not impossible, there's no need to be surprised... Thinking about it carefully, this seems to make a lot of sense.

"Now that Quetzalcoatl has joined our side, many things can be carried out, right, King Orpheus?"

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Orpheus's face showed a hint of doubt.

"Merlin, don't you know?"

"Ugh?"

Seeing that Merlin's confusion was genuine, Orpheus shook his head.

"No...it's nothing."

Merlin frowned and fell into thought, while Roman spoke through the communicator at that moment.

"If we had Quetzalcoatl's power, we should be able to deal with the goddess of the north, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

Ishtar nodded, but then pursed her lips.

"However... Quetzal is indeed very strong, probably even stronger than the Goddess of Beasts, right? But because of the Covenant, comparing their strength is meaningless."

"Sigh, so even with Quetzalcoatl, there's no way to deal with the goddess of the north?"

"Do not."

At this moment, it was Orpheus who gave the negative answer.

"Marduk's Axe should be in Eridu, right?"

"Ah~ that's right, so that's what King Orpheus was thinking... By the way, I can sense a kindred spirit in King Orpheus, why is that?"

Quetzal said with a laugh as he poked Orpheus's face.

"Well, it doesn't seem like the right time to discuss this. As for Marduk's Axe, we brought it along because we anticipated some potential issues."

"kindness."

With a slight smile, Orpheus nodded.

She had originally planned to carry it herself, but now that she had brought it with her, things were much simpler.

"I see. The Marduk Axe is the weapon used by Marduk, the god who defeated Tiamat in mythology, right? According to the lineage, it should be able to severely injure the goddess of beasts who possess the divinity of Tiamat."

Roman excitedly spoke into the communicator.

“That’s right, you guys can discuss how to use this against the Goddess of Demonic Beasts… Perfect timing.”

Orpheus shook off Quetzal's hand, stood up, and looked toward the temple entrance.

"Hidari, have you finished what I asked you to do?"

The priestess bowed respectfully in response.

"Yes, I have fulfilled my mission."

Orpheus nodded again, then turned his gaze back to Chaldea and the others.

"There's plenty of time along the way, let's get to the North Wall first."

────────────────────────────────

"This……"

The Chaldeans stared in disbelief at the scene in the distance.

The entire plain was almost entirely filled with hordes of magical beasts, and even above, groups of various flying magical beasts hovered and covered the sky like clouds.

"A rough estimate suggests that, including those lurking inside the cedar forest, the total number of enemy monsters exceeds 100,000. However, it seems they don't intend to attack with all of them; the first wave of attacks will only number around 10,000."

Joan of Arc, with a solemn expression, followed behind Orpheus, reporting the news.

"Now, after replenishment and consolidation, the fighting force at the North Wall has reached approximately five thousand... This is almost all of Uruk's remaining fighting force. If the enemy only has ten thousand, they can hold them off with the walls. However, it's unclear whether the enemy truly intends to capture the North Wall, and the possibility of them sending a second wave cannot be ruled out..."

"Wait, how are we supposed to get to the location of the Northern Goddess if we're surrounded by this many?!"

At this moment, Ritsuka spoke in a panic, causing everyone to fall silent.

Ritsuka and the others originally planned to use Uruk's offensive as a feint, while they would take the opportunity to sneak into the cedar forest where the Beast Goddess was hiding. However, the North Wall is now completely surrounded by monsters, and it's questionable whether they can even break through the monster horde, let alone sneak in.

"Then let's force a breakthrough."

"King Orpheus!?"

Ritsuka's eyes widened, while Merlin stroked his chin.

"Is King Orpheus planning to take action personally?"

"Ugh?"

Ritsuka and the others were all taken aback.

Indeed, if it were an attack like the one last time, it would seem like having more monsters wouldn't be of much use...

No, if Orpheus really makes a move, then no matter how many monsters there are, it won't be of any use. It seems that even the Chaldea group will become useless.

If one person can solo the Warcraft Goddess, what's the point of having them?

However, Orpheus shook his head.

If she were to take action herself, it would become a final battle between her and the goddess.

She doesn't have the time or inclination for that right now.

"Is that unit ready?"

As Orpheus asked this question, he looked at Joan of Arc, who nodded firmly.

"They are all ready."

"Yeah……"

Orpheus turned his head and gazed at a spot among the monsters.

"Then let's use it here."

────────────────────────────────

Standing atop a two-legged dragon, Kingu had a panoramic view of everything on the walls of Uruk.

"Has it appeared...?"

He landed gently on the ground and waved his hand forward lightly.

"Then let's use this to test whether you are qualified to face 'Mother' directly."

Amidst the violent tremors, the monster army began its advance towards the northern wall of Uruk.

Chapter 86 Heavy Cavalry

"These... could it be..."

Ritsuka looked at the hundreds of heavily armored warhorses before her, and her eyes twitched a few times.

"Is King Orpheus implying that a few hundred cavalrymen can break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of magical beasts?"

Although Ritsuka was surprised that Orpheus had created a force that shouldn't exist in this era, these are extraordinary times after all. It would be unwise to limit combat power just to maintain historical order when one has the relevant knowledge, so it's not entirely unacceptable.

However… Ritsuka, who had experienced the previous singularity, knew very well that heavy cavalry was indeed powerful and could be said to be invincible against ordinary infantry… but what they had to deal with were magical beasts!

The only way to deal with those beasts is to form a formation and fight steadily. Isn't it suicidal to charge at them on horseback?

There's no need to wait for the battle to begin; the moment Ma sees the monster, he'll immediately start going into uncontrollable chaos, right?

Wouldn't it be more reliable for you to send a light cavalry force to fight guerrilla warfare?

Orpheus ignored him and looked behind him.
