That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

“That’s right, I am a collaborator, not your subordinate. I demand the right to refuse any tasks you assign me.”

Hall didn't want to be ordered by the wise king to do trivial things.

"..."

"The North Wall is currently under attack by monsters. Go and assist the King of Sparta in defending the North Wall. There are no weaklings among those who serve me. After you complete the mission, I will decide your fate."

"can."

"Step down, Siduri. Go and arrange for the officials to come to the audience immediately. We've wasted a lot of time. If we don't hurry, we'll have to cut back on sleep again tonight."

"As ordered."

Before leaving the main hall, Hall remembered something and turned to the wise king on the highest throne, saying, "By the way, there's no need to send soldiers to the southern jungle."

What do you know?

“I have fought against that pillar goddess. If she intended to destroy Uruk, she could have razed it to the ground in less than a day. The only one who can rival her is Inanna, who possesses complete divinity.”

After watching Hall leave, the wise king fell into deep thought.

Inanna, who is completely divine, is the goddess of Venus who wields the Bull of Heaven and has reclaimed all powers from the goddess of the underworld. In terms of strength, she is enough to sweep away Uruk in the Age of Gods.

If that's really the case, there's indeed no need to send soldiers to their deaths.

The question is whether the gaze of a magician from another world is credible, and whether Hall himself, who revealed this information, is trustworthy.

And the true purpose of that pillar of goddess.

"But Merlin hasn't come back yet."

······

Hall intended to meet up with Leonidas I, but was told by soldiers that he had already led his troops to the North Wall, so he went alone.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the guards: "Wait, you can only leave Uruk with the king's permission."

"I am the commander of the North Wall assigned by Wang Xin."

"A newly appointed commander? Excuse my rudeness, but where are your soldiers?" The soldier looked at Hall with suspicion. This outfit was indeed something only Gilgamesh's strange direct subordinates would wear, but he was told that he only knew eight people. Hall was a completely new face he had never seen before.

Hall pointed to himself: "I am an army all by myself."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot release you easily before the King's orders arrive."

"Ok."

Hall shrugged, deciding to use the Magic Eye to hypnotize him to save himself the trouble.

"and many more."

Another gatekeeper jogged over and, upon seeing Hall, said with admiration, "You must be the brave warrior who just fought the Southern Commander. I heard you were taken to see the King."

He turned to his colleagues and said, "He is a powerful warrior who has contributed to the protection of Uruk. I'm afraid the orders haven't reached here yet because he hasn't had enough time to meet the king."

The soldier scratched his head. "Oh, okay then. You can go now."

"Thank you so much."

After Hall left, the two soldiers began talking again.

"Hey, are you sure? If not, we'll be punished."

“If that person really wants to leave the city, we are powerless to stop him. The Southern Commander is a strongman who can easily defeat a hundred soldiers by himself. I saw him defeat the Southern Commander with my own eyes. Didn’t you see the light that just fell from the sky?”

"Isn't that a blessing from the gods?"

"No way! In short, they are the backbone of Uruk's defense, and we should respect them."

······

To reach the North Wall, one must traverse the main road; the sky and the surrounding wilderness are shrouded in cursed traps designed to harm monsters.

Hall admired the scenery of the Age of Gods and walked for about half an hour before arriving.

boom! boom! boom!

"Third quarter! Hurry up and go support the third quarter defense!"

"Second archer unit, shift targets and fire towards the area to the south where monsters are densely packed!"

"Hold on! Don't let these monsters break through here!"

The first sound was a deafening explosion, followed by the roars of monsters and the shouts of human soldiers. Just by listening to the sounds, you could imagine how fierce the battle was behind that magnificent city wall, which was dozens of meters high, as human soldiers fought against the monsters using battlefield engineering facilities.

Hall arrived at the city gate and saw that the thick wooden gate had been lowered. Behind the gate, a large number of soldiers were huddled on the defensive railings fighting against the monsters. No soldier paid any attention to Hall's arrival.

There is a spiral staircase on the side of the city gate passage.

"This should lead to the city wall."

As Hall peeked out from the stairs, a gentle breeze carrying the stench of blood and the roars of monsters rushed towards him.

Looking north, swarms of monsters, like ants, marched across the land, assaulting the northern wall.

Hundreds? Thousands?

Countless, each of these monsters possesses the power to tear apart a tank.

Legend has it that Tiamat created eleven monsters to fight her children in order to avenge her husband.

The monsters attacking the North Wall were mass-produced monsters that inherited the name of the child of the goddess Tiamat.

"Although there are eleven in mythology, three types are mass-produced here."

Muxiu Huxiu: In mythology, it is an angry serpent with lion's feet for the front feet and eagle's feet for the hind feet. It has horns on its head and a tail like a shoe.

Ugal: A lion-headed monster with golden-red fur.

Ulidim: An angry lion, who looks about 80% like Ugal.

This was not the first time Hall had seen the child of Tiamat.

The earliest instance was in the world of Fate/Apocrypha, where Hall encountered Bashmu, summoned by the Assyrian Empress Semiramis, whose strength was almost comparable to that of a first-class Servant.

On the north wall of the city, the captain in charge of the soldiers' archery noticed the arrival of this stranger, Hall. He drew his longsword and, with a fierce but inwardly stern expression, demanded, "Who are you! How dare you trespass into a military stronghold!"

Hall withdrew his gaze from the horde of monsters and said calmly, "I am the commander assigned by Wang Xin."

"A new commander? Why didn't we receive any orders!" The captain scrutinized Hall suspiciously.

"Because it was just assigned."

"Wait a moment." Seeing Hall's composed attitude, the soldier captain did not dare to act rashly.

He turned and left, and a moment later brought a follower to Hall.

With silver hair, red eyes, two horns on her forehead, and a beautiful face, she wore Japanese-style armor. What caught Hall's attention most was her weapon.

He held a sword in one hand, a gun in the other, and carried a fiery red longbow on his back.

In this era, you can't even call yourself an Archer if you can't fight in melee.

Hall knew her; she was one of the seven Servants summoned by the Wise King, Archer Tomoe Gozen, who perished three months before the story began, along with one of the eleven demonic beasts, the commander of the demonic beasts that attacked the North Wall.

She didn't know Hall either, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a magician? I heard you're the commander appointed by Wang Xin, do you have any proof?"

"The King of Sparta can attest to my identity."

Tomoe raised her delicate eyebrows: "As you can see, the situation is urgent. Please wait here. After the monster horde recedes, I will confirm your identity with the Spartan King."

"no problem."

"Sorry."

Tomoe Gozen hurriedly left, and then saw countless rockets being launched, indiscriminately bombarding the land where monsters gathered in the distance.

Hall left the city walls.

"To defend the north wall, we need to show the wise king our results as soon as possible."

Not to brag, but for a qualified Caster, it's nothing at all.

Even if it weren't Hall, any magician skilled in battlefield construction and puppetry would be more powerful on the battlefield than other class Servants.

If there were followers of the same caliber as Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong from the Three Kingdoms period, they might have already begun their counterattack against Warcraft.

This is the Age of Gods, so there's basically no need to worry about magic depletion, let alone the hassle of extracting magic from ley lines.

"Speaking of which, this thing should come in handy."

Hall reached into the alternate dimension, fumbled around for a while, and took out a dodecahedron.

This is an alchemical creation obtained from the Atlas Institute; as long as magic power is provided, it can continuously produce all kinds of magical puppets.

The demonic eye flashed, piercing through the top-tier alchemical ceremonial garment in its hand.

"Unfortunately, the creator of this work did not use the puppets as weapons when designing the puppet world, so there are no weapon-type puppets."

"Let's modify the design of the magic puppet appropriately, and the magic interface also needs to be modified to suit the environment of the Age of Gods."

Hall crouched down, unfolded the transmutation circle on the spot, placed the alchemical costume inside, and immersed his mind in it to modify its magical structure.

A magical puppet capable of rivaling the monsters of the Age of Gods...

The simplest and most practical one is the "Duoduoyishanhao" from Daqin Technology.

"It's so boring."

Hall immediately shook his head and rejected the idea.

If you're going to do it, do it beautifully.

Hmm...

Building Gundam in the Age of Gods isn't unreasonable, is it?
