That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"Hahaha, the battle report has been brought back to Uruk by the recorder. Now even the picky King Gilgamesh will be speechless!"

Tomoe Gozen's storyline

The plot after the singularity disappears

It appears in the interludes of Ibaraki-dōji's story.

Although I don't know why the Scorpion Man would praise Tomoe Gozen, she is a human Qi.

Furthermore, after the singularity disappears, you can see the Wise King and Siduri talking.

That's why I believe that after the singularity disappears, history is basically reset.

······

Besides, people live for Ereshkigal!

I'm sure!

Chapter 360 The Wise King's Approval

In the sacrificial palace, Gilgamesh, the Golden King, sat on the highest throne, having arrived before any of the guards. Stone slabs piled up on the table beside him, awaiting the king's instructions.

The high priest Siduri placed the five stone tablets presented by the soldiers on the table next to King Gilgamesh: "Your Majesty, these are battle reports from the front lines of the Northern Wall."

King Gilgamesh glanced at the stone slabs and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why are there so many stone slabs? Even when the monsters first attacked the North Wall, there was only one stone slab."

High Priestess Siduri reported softly: "Yesterday, the monsters attacked the North Wall twice. The second attack involved more monsters than any of the previous attacks, and it seems that an individual resembling a monster commander also appeared."

Gilgamesh's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the stone tablet. "What! I've never heard of such a thing!"

Generally speaking, although Gilgamesh doesn't waste magic by using his clairvoyance, he does retain the ability to foresee danger.

He would surely sense the massive attack on the North Wall by the monsters in advance, and then transport the treasures from the Royal Treasury to the North Wall in preparation.

The King of Gold hurriedly put down the stone tablet in his hand, picked up the battle report from the north wall, and quickly scanned the lines of cuneiform text on it.

"Warcraft Commander".

"A report on Hall, the new commander of the North Wall."

"Soldier casualty report."

"Logistical resource consumption and demand."

"what?"

"..."

"..."

"Humph."

"It's not that there was an accident, nor that I didn't sense it, but rather that even a large-scale attack by magical beasts no longer poses a threat to the Northern Wall."

"That magician..."

Ten minutes later, King Gilgamesh finished reading all the battle reports on the five stone tablets, and his tense expression relaxed somewhat: "You are quite capable, humph, but you are not qualified to obtain the Holy Grail just like that. What you can do, my treasury can also easily accomplish."

"Now that a monster commander has appeared, the defenses of the North Wall will become increasingly difficult. Don't let me down."

High Priestess Siduri looked at Gilgamesh in astonishment. It had been a long time since she had heard such "frank" praise from him, and what concerned her even more was the king's tone.

He sounded very unhappy, yet seemed quite satisfied with the result.

This inevitably brought back a distant memory for her, when King Gilgamesh was still an arrogant and cruel king. When he heard the rumors of divine weapons appearing in the forest, he disdainfully responded, dismissing them as beasts, yet seemingly showing a little interest.

Beneath the transparent veil, Siduri smiled faintly.

······

At noon, on the majestic and magnificent northern wall, Hall, along with King Ba and Leonidas I, held a discussion.

Tomoe Gozen said confidently, "After this battle, the monster army will not make any moves for a while. We should take this time to rest and replenish our logistical resources."

Leonidas I removed his helmet, revealing a resolute face and short red hair. He pondered, "The soldiers are almost used to fighting monsters. Train their bodies well. With strong bodies, the king's treasures and resources, and Hall's magic, the North Wall is another Demobil Pass. Even if billions of monsters attack, it will not waver in the slightest."

Hall casually remarked, "It's probably better not to set any goals."

"Flag?"

Neither Tomoe nor Leonidas I understood the meaning of this English word.

"Similar to bad prophecies, these kinds of prophecies often come true, don't they?"

Leonidas I deeply agreed: "Ha ha, that makes sense! That makes sense! I had a similar experience in my lifetime, though I was a group of priests who manipulated divine authority."

"King of Sparta, what is the state of the soldiers' casualties tonight?"

"We are all comrades who went to the battlefield together. Just call me by my name. Tonight, the North Wall faced the fiercest attack of the monsters, but suffered the fewest casualties. A total of more than ninety soldiers were killed, half of them died and the other half went missing. Hundreds of wounded are resting in the magic circle set up by Hall. Some of the wounded were transported back to the sacrificial site in Uruk, where the priests and witches are responsible for their treatment."

Tomoe nodded: "Then you can call me Tomoe, and Hall can be the same. The rate of missing soldiers is lower than before, which means that after the reinforcement of the North Wall defense, the monsters do not have the extra power to capture humans."

“Indeed, we still don’t know why they want to capture soldiers alive. Hall, what do you think?” Leonidas pondered, stroking his chin, utterly puzzled.

"It's very simple, humans are important nutrients for magical beasts."

Leonidas I nodded and then shook his head: "The law of the jungle, but if humans are treated as food, then there is no need to guarantee their survival."

As a transmigrator, Hall knew what was going on and continued to explain: "It's not that simple. These magical beasts are all conceived from the same womb. You can think of them as similar to ants. Living humans are essential nutrients for the queen ant. In this era, the human body and soul coexist. Once the body dies, the soul will leave the body and go to the underworld. Perhaps they have a need for souls."

Upon hearing this, Leonidas I exclaimed indignantly, "How evil! The flesh is no match for the souls of the soldiers who die on the battlefield!"

Hall looked at Tomoe Gozen and asked deliberately, "Tomoe, you encountered that dangerous monster, didn't you?"

Tomoe Gozen nodded solemnly: "Yes, it calls itself Kitaburil. It is a creature between a human and a scorpion, possessing intelligence that is no less than that of a human. It is the commander of the monster army and is quite powerful. It would be difficult for me to kill it alone."

Hall feigned a moment of hesitation, "The commander of the Warcraft."

Leonidas I said gravely, “No wonder. I have also been vaguely aware of the abnormality of the monster attacks during this period. They are not just ordinary wild beasts.”

"The attacking monsters are divided into different individuals, just like wild animals. Some have sharp claws, some are strong and powerful, and some can breathe fire. Their speed and strength also vary greatly. On the battlefield, you can't see any intelligence in these monsters. But if that's the case, their coordination shouldn't be so perfect. Their attack rhythm is like that of a human army."

“If there is an individual similar to the commander, then it can be explained clearly. This matter must be reported to King Gilgamesh as soon as possible.”

Tomoe nodded, her red eyes looking at Hall, and she smiled and praised, "Fortunately, we had Hall's support last night, otherwise the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain. The treasures and weapons we obtained from King Gilgamesh have been almost completely used up, and I am a little worried about the next attack by the monsters."

"You mean their commander, right?"

Tomoe arrived at the city wall and saw the soldiers of the North Wall below busy repairing the gaps in the iron railings and carrying soil to fill the holes in the ground. A look of worry appeared on her beautiful face: "Indeed, we humans have been able to hold on until now by relying on the advantages of the North Wall and the support of King Gilgamesh's treasures. But no matter how powerful the weapons are, they can never cover up the fact that humans are weak. It takes a team of dozens of people to defeat a single monster."

“Last night, the monster commander Kitaburiel saw through this. Its goal was not to kill me, but to break through the metal fence and tear a gap. When the monsters broke into the human positions behind the lines, it would be like a lion entering a flock of sheep, or like a riverbank bursting. If it cannot be resolved in a very short time, I'm afraid the chaos will spread rapidly until the North Wall falls.”

After listening to Tomoe Gozen's account, Leonidas nodded heavily: "I understand deeply. The key to the Spartan warriors' victory on the battlefield was the formation of their shields. Once a gap was opened and not replaced, the enemy was very likely to break through the formation."

“Last night, we encountered several very dangerous situations that we couldn’t handle on our own.”

Tomoe and Leonidas I both turned their gazes toward Hall, hoping he could solve the problem.

If the problem cannot be solved, they will definitely have to go back to report to King Gilgamesh. Although King Gilgamesh will likely produce a treasure to solve the problem, King Bass and Leonidas I will inevitably be reprimanded as incompetent bastards.

Hall scratched his head, and seeing their expectant looks, he couldn't refuse. He nodded and said, "Actually, I had already considered this beforehand. In order to avoid a chain reaction caused by the breach of the front line, I developed a set of equipment suitable for soldiers, which is now being manufactured. Would you like to take a look?"

Do you really have a solution?

The two were taken aback. They had indeed believed that Hall could provide a solution, but they hadn't expected that Hall had anticipated a similar situation and considered it thoroughly in advance.

"Come with me."

······

Beneath the high north wall, in another area equipped with a magic array, floats a black sphere with a radius of about two meters. It is perfectly round and flawless.

The black sphere is the "Puppet World" that Hall created at night using his mind-splitting ability.

"What exactly is this huge, mysterious black sphere?!" Leonidas I was so curious that he almost poked the black sphere with his spear.

"Don't rush."

Hall approached the sphere, placed his right hand on it, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, and countless tiny light patterns rippled and spread from his palm.

A few minutes later, the black ball popped out of a square platform, which then split open on its own and placed a black cube about the size of a suitcase.

Hall stepped on it, and the black cube lit up with white light, continuing to collapse inwards.

At the same time, Hall's body was enveloped in white light, and after it disappeared, he was wearing a set of closed armor. The style was similar to that of Berserker Lancelot, but it also had a high-tech sci-fi feel that Tomoe Gozen and the others had never seen before, making him look majestic.

Tomoe and Leonidas I looked at each other, completely bewildered.

“I call it the sergeant’s armed force.”

Hall's voice came from the armor.

"The full-coverage armor effectively enhances the wearer's strength. It contains multiple weapons that can transform into different attack forms, giving ordinary soldiers the strength to fight against monsters."

"The power source is true ether element. Within the magic array I set up, it only takes one hour to charge up the energy for six hours of activity."

"The most important thing is the armor's built-in self-destruct function, and the power of the self-destruction is linked to the total amount of residual magic power."

"Without my intervention, this black sphere can probably produce about thirty sets per day."

After the introduction, Hall pressed a button on his arm, and the armor dissipated as layers of magic, leaving only a black belt around his waist.

This armor set is equipped with the ability to fight monsters!?

Both Tomoe Gozen and Leonidas I were somewhat skeptical. Although monsters were insignificant to them, having experienced so many wars, they were well aware of the difference in combat power between humans and monsters.

Leonidas I scratched his head: "Hall, you're saying this equipment is designed for soldiers?"

"It's definitely better to have a soldier demonstrate." Hall looked around and his gaze fell on a soldier on the high wall in the distance who was watching the scene out of curiosity. He waved to him, signaling him to come over.

A moment later, a soldier arrived, looking uneasy, and asked, "Commander, is there anything I can help you with?"

He knew a new commander had arrived at the North Wall, but he didn't know Hall's name.

Hall handed the soldier a cool-looking black belt: "Put it on. I've adjusted it to fit your measurements. Once you put it on, you'll naturally understand what to do. Your task is to demonstrate the function of this equipment to the two commanders."

"Understood." The soldier took the belt, and the operating data flowed into his consciousness.

The soldiers were bewildered and quite surprised.

He noticed the curious looks from Tomoe and Leonidas I, and quickly fastened his belt, pressing his right hand on a button on his waistband.

呲味~

The magic transformed into white light, enveloping his body. In less than a second, he reappeared in Hall's black knight form, with no significant changes except for his size.
