The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

But people could not see the shape of the huge black bird. All they could see was a dark chaos, as if it was something invisible and intangible.

All I could see was that everything in the sky was scattered all over the place, as if it had been blown by the wind.

Because the night wind is something that cannot be seen or touched. It is the invisible wind, a mystery that no one can see.

Even with Gilgamesh's clairvoyant eyes that could see into the future, he could not clearly see the giant bird lurking in the dark night sky and swooping down on him.

But Gilgamesh always had some warning in his heart, telling him that there was indeed danger coming towards him.

The magic wands and magic costumes taken out from the treasury were used to perform great magic from the Age of Gods, but most of the magic was not able to hit the invisible wind.

However, such a large-scale coverage attack can always hit the target. Even if it is a blind cat, it can at least catch a dead mouse. As long as there is no gap, no matter how you try to hide, you will not be able to escape. There is space to hide.

But this was not the wind that was easily blown up like before, but a terrifying thing that could knock the sun down from the sky and take it away from the sky.

The Aztec people feared this demonic bird, just as they feared the black panther of the First Sun, which was about to destroy the world.

The black panther devoured the world, and the magic bird took away the sun. The world was destroyed twice.

At this singularity, at this moment in Sumer, Uruk is undoubtedly the center of the world.

When the king here is struck down, what difference is there between that and the sun being struck down from the sky? When the city of Uruk is also desolate, the world is no different from destruction.

As a Caster, Gilgamesh couldn't exert much power in such a battle.

After all, at this moment his magic power is not only used on himself, he has also contracted several servants, and there are also places where this city needs it.

Gilgamesh could only draw out his magic wand again, and the door to the Babylonian treasury opened to the limit of his ability at once.

He took out all the magic costumes worth using from his treasure house. The number should not be more than a thousand, but at least six or seven hundred.

The bombardment of pure magic power finally destroyed the entire tower temple. Fortunately, the building was built up layer by layer, so the bottom was not hollow and would not fall down once it was shattered. However, the palace had also disappeared.

The height of the tower temple was reduced by two stories, but the dark night sky created by it also disappeared with the destruction of the palace.

The invisible wind that blew at night also disappeared, and the demon bird that devoured the sun disappeared with the disappearance of night.

“是你那9双眼睛的0敏锐，4让你察觉到了8吗？还是你拥4有的2智慧让你知晓9的呢？”0」々5￥

The final target of Gilgamesh's attack was not to find the invisible magic bird, but to bombard the entire palace with all his might to destroy this simply set up magic barrier.

When the barrier is destroyed, the familiars created by the barrier will disappear along with it.

"Hmph! I'll tell you, my eyes can see through the truth of it all. It's just a barrier, which is nothing."

Gilgamesh did not seem panicked, after all, he did not even break his own self-restraint.

Now he is not a Servant, and certainly not a Caster, although he is not limited to using magic.

This is nothing more than a self-restraint, a way to save one's own magic power.

"Well, it seems that you still want to wait for me to ask questions?"

Seeing no response from Manshu, Gilgamesh did not continue to wait, but directly asked.

Gilgamesh really doesn't have much time to waste, as we all saw the priests on the other side who were protected when the palace was destroyed.

“King of a foreign land who holds the power of the God-King Marduk, your abilities are even better than I expected and you are worthy of my help.

I allow you to borrow the power of Uruk. Any of the remaining fortress cities should be very welcoming to a powerful person like you. Whatever you want to do, I believe you will be responded to.

But Uruk does not need it yet. Uruk is a city that should be protected by me. It does not need to rely on more power. "

Gilgamesh did not intend to stay in Uruk with the help of Mansu's power, but instead planned to send him to other fortress cities.

This will actually help alleviate the situation better. Brooke can still hold up, but it is hard to say about other cities.

At least among the northern cities, only Nippur can hold out for a while. The destruction of other cities under the attack of monsters is probably just a matter of days.

"Okay, let's get back to work. We've wasted a lot of time."

After saying this, Gilgamesh stood on the ruins with a calm expression and asked the priests to continue reporting to him.

"Does Uruk not need it? Hahaha... This is good news. But I won't be polite with you. Bring me the token that can mobilize power and the people who may be used as witnesses."

Mansu had nothing more to say to Gilgamesh at this moment. At least Gilgamesh, who had returned from his adventure, had a much better personality, and his actions at this moment were entirely for the city.

There's no point in continuing to play around here, and it would seem unreasonable if we continue.

Anyway, I got what I needed, so there is no need to continue wasting time here.

"Siduri, I'll leave this guy's matter to you! Although it will be troublesome, it should be no problem if it's you. Don't mobilize more than 30% of the resources, and don't let it affect the battle situation on the north wall."

It's not possible to just find any priest to arrange people, so Siduri has to be arranged to lend the power.

⑸After receiving Gilgamesh's order, Siduri handed the clay tablet in her hand to other priests and walked over.

⑺ "That's fine. Since the deal has been concluded, as a guest, you can't be too rude and unreasonable. Let's return everything to the way it was before."

Liu Manshu nodded with satisfaction, and a cloud of smoke rose from the ruins where the two men had fought.

In just a few seconds, the smoke covered the entire venue, and then a gust of wind came from somewhere and blew away the smoke, and the destroyed palace stood up again on the ground.

3. "Keep watching over your city, Gilgamesh."

Si Manshu turned and walked down from the pagoda temple, and Siduri followed quickly in obedience to the king's order.

4 "The chief priest over there, Merlin should have escorted a few people to Uruk not long ago."

Ermanshu was not in a hurry to do what he was going to do, but asked a few people from Chaldea first.

j "Oh, yes. They came to Uruk a few days ago. I arranged their living arrangements. Do you know them, too?"

iSidulli was still thinking about what Manshu would do next, but she didn't expect that Manshu would ask Chaldea first. She was a little surprised for a moment.

a "We know each other, so take me to see them first. Then introduce me to the remaining fortress cities. Gilgamesh doesn't need my power in Uruk. After all, mobilizing the entire battle situation is not something I am willing to do."

oAt least dealing with so many government affairs every day is simply torture for Manshu, so you might as well throw him to the Warcraft front to kill Warcraft for a day.

The current situation still requires Gilgamesh. The Warcraft goddess Gorgon is not difficult to deal with, but the troublesome one is Kingo beside her.

If the group is unable to get rid of Gorgon for the time being, maintaining the battle situation requires coordinated deployment.

"Now, the cities in the north have been almost completely destroyed, with only Nippur still holding on. Behind the Absolute Warcraft Front set up by the king, there are the cities of Lagash and Girsu in the east, and Larsa in the south."

Siduri led the way for Mansu and introduced him to the remaining cities of Sumer.

There are indeed not many cities left now, mainly because the Gorgon's offensive is too fierce. Half a year of attacks has almost destroyed all the city-states in the north.

Quetzalcoatl swallowed up the two most important cities in the south, and there were indeed not many cities left.

Needless to say, Nippur is a big city connecting heaven and earth.

Lagash was also one of the largest cities in the Early Dynastic Period, but this city was not recorded in the Sumerian King List. However, more than 100 years later, this city was once known to occupy a large territory from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. The patron saint of this city was Ningirsu.

The other cities are small and unknown cities, and they rose in a later era.

During the Early Dynastic period, the largest cities were Eridu, Kish, Lagash, Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, to which Umma could be added later.

"Nippur is the only place left in the north. Well... there's not much point in going to Girsu. I'll go to Nippur."

Except for Nippur, all the cities are behind Uruk, and there doesn't seem to be much point in going there.

Moreover, we have to consider the situation when Tiamat wakes up later, so it is better to choose a location far away from the Persian Gulf.

So although there are still a few options, after a little thought, Nippur is the only one left.

The remaining cities can do nothing now, and will be the first to suffer when the final battle comes.

This is definitely not an option. After all, Manshu still needs to build a temple there. If it is destroyed directly when the war breaks out, wouldn't it be like cutting off one's own arm?

"This is it. They happened to be not out working today, so you came at a good time."

The resting place of Chaldea is a three-story house. The mosaic decoration made of nails on the outside looks pretty good. After all, it was used as a tavern before, so it still needs decoration to attract customers.

Siduri went over and knocked on the door. Mashu came over, opened the door, and greeted her happily when she saw Siduri. Then she saw Manshu following behind her, and the joy on her face became even stronger as she greeted Manshu.

Mashu welcomed the two of them in, ran to call Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, and sat around a table.

"It seems like you guys are living quite well in Uruk and have gotten used to this era."

"Yes, life here is still full of mystery and fun. My senior and I have completely adapted to this place."

Mashu's emotions were quite high as she answered.

"Then keep doing what you're doing and head in the direction you want to go. I just happened to be passing by here to take a look."

"Are you planning to leave now?"

"Before coming here, I visited the king here. Although he is more magnanimous than before, he is still not much different. He asked me to find another place. If you don't believe me, you can ask the chief priest here."

Manshu shook his head and said.

Chapter 141 Direction (4)

"This wine looks much better than the cheap stuff on the market. Even in this era, there are always good stuff."

Time passed quickly and it was evening. Manshu was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed here and planned to take a walk.

Although the rebuilt fortress city of Uruk no longer resembles the old Uruk, it still has an exotic feel. Although it has changed, it is still quite good.

At least the style looked somewhat different from the cities Manshu had seen before. This city was re-planned for war.

Manshu planned to stay here for two days and then leave after seeing the city.

It was also a good opportunity to explain my request to Siduri, who was standing beside me, and asked her to transport the materials she needed to Nippur first.

However, although Gilgamesh promised Uruk's resources, there was not much that Manshu could use in this city.

The resources here are by no means sufficient, and all Gilgamesh can provide is to lend materials and manpower without affecting the operation of Uruk itself.

I hope there are still enough manpower and material resources in Nippur. Although that city was once a big city, it has now declined and is no longer what it used to be.

The constant invasion of monsters is enough to force local people to choose to flee, and the urban population in this era will not be too large.

Although scholars have speculated that the city of Sumay in the Early Dynastic Period had a population of tens of thousands, this requires adding the population of the rural areas surrounding the city.

The Sumerian cities in the Early Dynastic Period had already reached a three-tier settlement system, that is, a three-tier settlement system consisting of metropolis-town-village.

In contemporary archaeology, when the settlement level of a region reaches three layers or above, it can often be judged as a national society.

However, under the ravages of the endless stream of monsters, the towns and villages around the city have long ceased to exist.

The city of Uruk could retain some pastures and villages outside the city, but in the cities to the north of Uruk, without the protection of an absolute line of defense against monsters, even the city walls could hardly resist the attacks of monsters, not to mention the villages.

In this era, a city with a population of several thousand can probably be considered a big city. After all, most people would have died in the attacks of monsters.

How many human corpses would be needed to create those 10 monsters? For the Sumerian world more than 4000 years ago, that was probably more than half of the population.

Therefore, we cannot expect too much manpower to be available in the city of Nippur, but in this land, more things may need to be considered to be done with the help of others.

But this is something to be thought about later. Now Manshu picked up the beer and handed it over. This beer looked much better than the cheap beer out there that wasn't even filtered.

The beer that I saw being sold outside before was probably just cheap and was treated like daily drinking water, so it was not processed much.

The wine here is normal and drinkable. After being processed beyond the times, it is drinkable.

Manshu happily put the wine in the glass into his mouth. He hadn't tasted beer for a long time, so it was nice to enjoy it occasionally.

Yue Qun: As long as the drink is not bitter, Manshu can always accept it.

At night, several people celebrated here by drinking. Of course, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu were not yet adults, so they drank juice, and so did Anna.

Ushiwakamaru and Benkei also heard that there were guests coming, so they came here to drink together.

In Uruk, Mansu spent two pleasant days and saw most of the scenes in the city.

It is indeed the same feeling as when you first enter this city. Although it is facing an almost doomsday situation, it is still a city full of vitality and hope.

"Although I don't like the king here, I have to say that he is indeed a competent king at this moment. Seeing this is enough, I can't be too lazy, otherwise I will be outdone."

Manshu continued to move forward, leaving the city and heading north.

Siduri had already prepared the token of leaving the city, and stamped it on the clay tablet with Gilgamesh's roller seal as proof that Manjusri was going to mobilize the city of Nippur.

Cylinder seals are also a unique feature of the Sumerian region. Their function is equivalent to the seals we usually use.

Cylinder seals appeared before the invention of Sumerian writing. The Sumerians used clay chips to record their wealth and sealed them in mud balls for preservation.

But if someone stole the mud ball at this time, there would be no way to prove that the mud ball originally belonged to him or the property recorded in the mud ball belonged to him. Therefore, the Sumerians carved patterns on hard objects to represent themselves, and pressed them on the mud ball before it dried, so as not to worry about others stealing and claiming the property.

Later, such things were standardized and were generally cylindrical stone pillars with patterns on the sides of the pillars that symbolized identity or things that wanted to be recorded carved on them.

Then you just need to roll the stone pillar on the undried mud slab one or two times to print the pattern on it.

However, it was not until the Akkadian Empire that the format of the cylinder seals was standardized. After all, only a unified country could unify the weights and measures of various regions.

Mansu took the clay tablet from Uruk that explained his identity and prepared to set off.
