To become a king and a magician

Amidst the horde of monsters, Musashibo Benkei's voice echoed. Not far away, a sudden downpour of crimson rain caused all the affected monsters to collapse. Then, Akuta Hinako and Xiang Yu, riding the black horse, galloped out from the monster army and sped off towards the North Wall!

Seeing this, Ushiwakamaru immediately rushed back to the north wall.

And a few seconds later—

"BOOM——————————!!"

Several enormous tornadoes, reaching straight into the sky, appeared without warning across the wilderness! Instantly, they swept all the magical beasts into the fierce storm!

42. Defending the city

Since the Warcraft Frontier was established six months ago.

The greatest casualties occurred today.

"Casualties accounted for 60% of the total number of soldiers, and the attrition rate on the north wall was over 40%...?"

These casualties occurred in just over two hours; the monsters, with their sheer numbers, nearly overwhelmed the entire North Wall defense line.

If Natsukawa Tora hadn't arrived in time, the casualty figures would probably have been even more terrifying.

Sitting on his throne, Gilgamesh listened to the report from Oda Nobunaga and nodded seriously: "Yes, I understand. Take all the wounded soldiers back to Uruk. I will go to mourn the soldiers who have died later. The seriously wounded soldiers should be gathered at the shrine for treatment and care, and the lightly wounded soldiers should also return for treatment. The same goes for the Servants."

"Eh? Wait a minute, King Gilgamesh!"

Ushiwakamaru, who had also come to the Divine Tower to report, couldn't help but speak up: "If all the soldiers are withdrawn, the defense of the North Wall—"

“There’s no need to worry about that.” Gilgamesh looked at Natsukawa Tora. “Holy Sword Wielder, you can hold the North Wall by yourself, right?”

"If the opponent is just Warcraft."

Natsukawa Tora responded, "I can guarantee that the North Wall will not be breached no matter how many monsters come, but I cannot guarantee it if either Enkidu or the Monster Goddess appears."

"Yes, that's enough. Holy Sword Wielder, I hereby appoint you to guard the North Wall, Merlin, Merly, Morgan, and the Chaldea personnel to assist you. The rest of the Servants shall return to Uruk and rest for two days before returning to the North Wall."

"Also, how is the restoration work on the north wall progressing?"

“Merlin, Merlin, and Morgan are already working at full speed to repair them,” Natsukawa Tora replied. “They could be repaired by dusk at the earliest, but that’s just an emergency measure. I will use the Imagination Manifestation to complete them again later.”

Gilgamesh nodded: "That's good. Now, let's handle the logistical matters..."

The aftermath of the first Warcraft offensive continued into the afternoon.

Due to the sheer number of wounded, there is a severe shortage of medical facilities, medicine, bandages, and other supplies. In addition to the confirmed casualties, many soldiers remain missing, requiring further search and rescue efforts. Furthermore, there are tasks such as rebuilding the camp and handling the aftermath of the dead…

All sorts of things combined meant that Uruk didn't stop for a single day, shrouded in an unprecedented sense of tension and seriousness, as everyone worked hard to make up for the losses caused by the great battle. Even Natsukawa Tora was left behind before heading to the North Wall to use his imagination to urgently add a large number of beds and wards. That King Gilgamesh really intended to squeeze him to death from now on.

Although Xia Chuanhu had no objection to this, he still felt somewhat guilty for not being able to get to the North Wall in time, even though he had rushed there as soon as he received the notification.

If he had maintained such a high level of perception, perhaps the North Wall wouldn't have suffered such enormous damage.

.......

In the afternoon, at sunset, on the north wall.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Natsukawa Tiger, Merlin, Meryl, and Morgan, the North Wall, which had been severely damaged by the morning's battle, has now been restored to about 90% of its original condition.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the mountains of monster and human corpses piled up in the northern wilderness, Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched her hands slightly.

"I never expected...this would happen..."

To date, Fujimaru Ritsuka has traversed six singularities, and she has witnessed similar horrific situations in previous singularities.

Even just recently, at that fifth singularity, she witnessed a mythical war that spanned North America.

Logically speaking, she should have developed some resistance to such a horrific scene, but in reality, no matter how many times she sees it, Fujimaru Ritsuka feels that she will never get used to it.

"Today's battle is the most intense monster attack in history."

Merlin, standing to the side, explained, "The number of magical beasts confirmed to have been killed is already close to three thousand, and the actual number of magical beasts involved in the attack is even higher, probably close to ten thousand. It's as if they've deployed all the troops they've been keeping hidden all this time."

A total of nearly 10,000 Warcraft troops.

It is precisely because of such a huge number of them that the north wall suffered such damage.

"Although thanks to Xia Chuan's timely arrival, almost all the magical beasts were eliminated, and there shouldn't be such a strong impact in the future, the current situation is still not optimistic."

That's right.

Now is definitely not the time to relax.

The sheer number of monsters alone has already inflicted such damage on the monster front. If the Monster Goddess were to appear on the front lines, or if that imposter Enkidu were to join the battle, the Northern Wall would suffer even greater losses, and complete collapse is not out of the question.

The most fortunate thing right now is that Xia Chuan has already dealt with two goddesses. Otherwise, if all three goddesses were to invade together, we would be absolutely unable to resist, given how difficult it is to even resist one goddess.

Roman's voice came from the communication device on Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist.

This is the only good news.

Just then, footsteps came from the entrance steps not far away, and then Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Merlin saw Natsukawa Tora walking up.

"You're all here, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, just a little nostalgia for the battlefield," Merlin chuckled. "How's the situation on your end? Has Uruk stabilized?"

Xia Chuanhu sighed: "That's hard to say. From my perspective, the atmosphere in Uruk is quite bad right now. After all, we could see a glimmer of hope before, but today we are almost destroyed. It's understandable that things would change like this."

“We shouldn’t need to worry about that. King Gilgamesh will be able to control his emotions,” Merlin said. “As far as I know, King Gilgamesh said something like ‘Uruk will definitely be destroyed’ as early as half a year ago. Now the residents of Uruk are probably already preparing for the end of the world.”

"You were prepared long ago...?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was somewhat gloomy.

Natsukawa Tora gently patted her head: "Don't take it too hard, Ritsuka. You can have all sorts of emotions about this situation, but never dwell on the bad ones. Instead of wasting time being sad here, you should put more energy into changing the situation."

"After all, Gilgamesh's Servants have all returned to Uruk to reorganize, leaving only a few of us to defend the entire North Wall."

As Natsukawa Torara said, after the morning's battle, the Servants who were originally stationed at the North Wall had all suffered injuries of varying degrees. Ushiwakamaru and Benkei had many cuts, Leonidas I was also wounded in the chest by sharp claws, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone, and Tomoe Gozen was the most seriously injured, with a large piece of her abdomen being ripped out.

Oda Nobunaga, who provided fire support from the air, was the least injured.

As for Akuta Hinako and Xiang Yu, neither of them was injured at all. After all, the former was a mechanical creation and the latter was an elf, so they were not so easy to hurt. Therefore, they were able to return to defend the city again.

"Cheer up, Ritsuka, Mashu."

"Our battle in this era has only just begun."

43. So Tiamat is an Alter-generating machine!

At the same time.

At the foot of the mountain, deepest part of the cedar forest.

It is unclear when exactly, but this mountain facing the cedar forest has been transformed into a massive temple.

Passing through the tree roots and stone pillars standing at the entrance, and proceeding inside, the scene inside is reminiscent of the ovaries of some kind of animal.

Deep purple flesh and blood filled every corner of the temple. Huge fleshy spheres hung from the walls and ceiling, and upon closer inspection, one could see the figures of adults inside. As the fleshy spheres continued to writhe, the figures of those adults gradually collapsed and mutated, eventually forming one after another monstrous beast that emerged from the spheres.

This temple itself is a massive monster production facility.

Humans killed by monsters, corpses taken away by monsters, corpses devoured by monsters... all the remains of soldiers who could not be recovered by Uruk, as well as those humans who were abducted, will eventually be brought into this enormous temple and become raw materials for the Monster Goddess to create monsters.

The reason why monsters have never been completely eradicated is this: if anyone goes missing during a battle with monsters, they are most likely brought here for reuse.

A human can produce three Ulidim—at such an efficiency, the number of monsters will always exceed the number of humans.

This was especially true after the battle during the day.

As he inspected the production of magical beasts in the factory filled with beast eggs, Jingu's complexion improved slightly, despite his ongoing suffering from soul corruption.

The hundreds of corpses brought back from the battlefield can greatly increase the production speed of the second-generation monsters.

Unlike the first-generation monsters used for resource gathering, the second-generation monsters are based entirely on the eleven sons of Tiamat, and their individual strength is several levels greater than that of the first-generation monsters.

The projected production quantity for the second generation of Warcraft is 100,000.

Originally, in Kingu and the Goddess of Monsters' plan, the second-generation monsters were not intended for this purpose. The first-generation monsters were sufficient to destroy Uruk, and the second-generation monsters were prepared for battles that followed.

Although it is called the alliance of the three goddesses, in reality, the alliance between the three goddesses will only last until Uruk is captured. No matter which goddess captures Uruk, the other two goddesses will definitely launch an attack to seize the Holy Grail.

That's when the second generation of Warcraft will be used.

But now...

"Well!"

Pain returned from the depths of my soul.

Jin Gu frowned deeply. Even though he had gradually gotten used to the pain over the past few days, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable when it actually flared up.

Yes.

If it weren't for knowing the power of that Holy Sword Wielder, Jin Gu wouldn't have planned to use the second-generation magical beast ahead of time. But without using it, it would be extremely difficult to conquer Uruk with the current combat power of the first-generation magical beast.

It can only be described as a last resort.

After inspecting the production of the second-generation magical beasts in the factory, Jingu followed to the deepest part of the temple. Inside the mountain where a huge space had been excavated, there was a pool of thin black mud that exuded an ominous aura.

Looking at the enormous figure at the center, Kingu said quite gently, "Good afternoon, Mother."

"Enkidu?"

The enormous figure in the black mud spread its golden wings and looked up at Jingu below: "What is it?"

"The inspection of the production status of the second-generation magical beasts has been completed. I would like to come and see how the Sea of ​​Life is modifying [that]."

The Sea of ​​Life.

Known in the magic world as the Holy Grail Mud, the official name for the contents flowing from the Holy Grail, it is also called the Tide of Chaos by the Magic King Solomon.

This is one of the powers of Tiamat.

Anything touched by the Sea of ​​Life will enter into a pact with Tiamat at the cellular level, becoming an enemy of humanity, and will randomly gain abilities such as self-modification, ecological change, ecological integration, and individual proliferation.

Tiamat is known as the mother goddess of all beasts, and this power is a reflection of her title.

"Oh, well, the renovation went very smoothly."

The goddess of war raised her hands, which were submerged in black mud, and lifted up the body of a naked human woman. But strangely, this body had nothing but sexual characteristics; it had no features, no nose, no hair... none of these.

Jingu was not surprised at all, after all, this body was just a lump of flesh a size larger than a hand not long ago.

That was one of the spoils brought back by the monsters, a piece of the body of a Servant named Tomoe Gozen that the monsters had eaten off. Originally, it was just a piece of flesh a little larger than a palm, but now it has been regrown to the size of a human.
