The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing
Page 305
At this point, all we need to do is prepare for the final battle, but of course we do need to clear away the final dust before that.
After Manshu stayed in the abyss for a while, he stretched out his hands and scooped up a handful of water with both hands. He brought the water from Ereshkigal's underworld to his own underworld and placed the water at the foot of the mountain in the center of the underworld.
"In this way, this underworld seems to have no problems. If we continue to improve the city of Nippur, everything will be complete."
Water is still very important. The spirit of God walks on the water, and the original appearance of the universe in Sumerian mythology is also a boundless ocean.
The abyss at the beginning of creation and the ocean currents at the time of creation are still helpful here.
Manshu let the body put the water it brought back at the end of the endless tide, where it eventually formed a lake.
The primordial water fell into it, and Manjusri controlled his body to scoop up the water and drink it.
In the underworld, the lake that eventually formed looked extremely dark, and there was no light at all.
But if there is light, the lake still won't reflect any light, because then you can really see that the lake itself is pitch black.
But it seems that the dark thing is not the water itself, but a dark object is reflected in the water. That object occupies the entire surface of the water, so people can only see black.
Manshu allowed the body to return to his temple, made a decision, and gave the body a false consciousness, allowing it to rule the underworld below as Nergal.
"I will give you the vast space under the earth. Only the sun in the sky and the sun under the water are beyond your reach. Everything else is up to you."
The two most important things could not be entrusted to this newly created being, just as the cliffs and temples on the ground were not entrusted to Ninurta.
Nergal, who had come back to life, received an order and fell into the underworld, sitting on a high mountain in the center of the underworld.
The days were quiet for another two or three days, and the exchanges between Uruk and Nepal became more frequent, with intelligence being passed on to each other.
According to Mansu's previous order, the people in Nippur also asked Uruk to carry some bricks and other building materials removed from the abandoned city of Babylon.
Mansu took away the building materials that were brought to Babylon and went off to study other things.
However, the peaceful days here could not last long. Soon, information came from Uruk again, this time it was about the Warcraft Goddess.
"We have received more intelligence from Uruk. The magical beasts in the fir forest have gathered in large numbers. They should be launching an unprecedented general attack. So far, the number of magical beasts we have observed has reached 10."
"Is it 10 just from what we saw? This number is too exaggerated. The total population of Uruk and Nipur is probably no more than now. Only Sumer before these things happened could have so many people."
The number of 10 Warcraft troops is still terrifying, not to mention in Sumer more than 4000 years ago. Even before modernization, an army of 10 people was a force that could not be ignored.
And in this era, it is generally speaking true that one does have the power to completely sweep across this land.
"With this number... no matter how much the defense of the city walls is reinforced, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for too long. What does King Gilgamesh plan to do?"
Even if you believe in God's power, you must also think about sharing God's worries. If you can get some support, at least you can share more of God's burden.
Moreover, at this moment, Nippur is not completely a burden, but a very important defensive line. As long as the Warcraft front is not defeated here, the pressure will be much less.
“King Gilgamesh planned to use a decapitation tactic to directly destroy the base of the Goddess of Warcraft and the goddess herself, because he was too passive in a defensive battle and his chances of winning were slim.
That is why the king sent us here in the hope of gaining support from Nippur. Regardless of whether this can be achieved, the king will send elite troops to help Nippur defend the city and buy time for the plan. "
Chapter 167 Process
"Are you ready to take the initiative? This is indeed a rational and correct idea. I'm sure my father will agree."
The one who will make the final decision naturally cannot be the priest. They are no longer the masters of this city. They can only be said to be the management class. How can they be qualified to make the final decision?
After the priests had discussed the framework of the Great Peace with Uruk, they reported everything to Ninurta in the palace, who made the final decision and determined the true direction.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this plan. Under the attack of such an astonishing number of legions, the best that can be done by simply defending is to block the attacks of the monsters.
The current attack of Warcraft is just to survive for a while longer, and it cannot solve the substantive problem.
“It’s really boring to just deal with government affairs and repair the city. It’s like going back to the time before the birth of mankind.”⒐
Ninurta is not very happy with what he is doing now. Of course, as the god of agriculture, he does do a lot of things personally, but he does not need to approve or plan everything himself.
In the myths of the Sumerian and Akkadian eras, humans were created by Enlil to replace the gods' hard work day after day, to do what the gods usually do, and to free the gods from labor.
No matter whether it is Ninurta or Nergal, their original attributes were gradually ignored, and the only thing that was valued in the end was war.
The regime changes in the Mesopotamian region were quite common. Located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, the Mesopotamian region was constantly invaded by foreign tribes from other regions.
The Sumerians who were originally from this area ended their rule after the Third Dynasty of Ur, and the Amorites established a new regime here.
Soon after, the rise of Persia engulfed this land, and later a man named Alexander from the Greek city-state took Persia into his arms and made Babylon the capital of the new empire.
When the kingdoms established by the successors disappeared, the Persians once again swept across this land and confronted Rome. Then, under the guidance of the Prophet, the Arabs on the peninsula finally swept across this land. Even now, war has never been far away from here. ⒋
"I will report this matter to my father in person. You just wait here."
This time, Ninurta did not let the Uruk envoy go up the mountain to report, but chose to go on his own.
Ninurta certainly wanted to participate, so she chose to go by herself in the hope that she could volunteer to sign up during the exchange.
Otherwise, Ninurta thought that if she didn't take the initiative to propose it, Manshu would definitely not think of her. After all, Manshu asked him to come out more to deal with unnecessary chores rather than to let him fight.
If a battle really happens, it will probably be the final moment, so who knows how long we will have to wait.
"What happened? You came here in person. Could it be that the tide in the Persian Gulf has risen today?"
Mansu seemed a little surprised at Ninurta's arrival. After all, no matter what the matter was, it was better to let the person who came to report come first. After the report was relayed again and again, there would inevitably be continued missing information.
So Manjushri gave the order in this way, and Ninurta had always carried it out in this way, so it was unusual for Ninurta to come up in person.
"Oh, father, the father who created us and all the great works on this earth, it was the king of Uruk who got the news. He found that the abominable evil god had prepared his army again in the distant cedar forest and was about to invade this land created by the gods again.
The evil god gathered a hundred thousand monsters, trying to recreate the army of Tiamat who wanted to exterminate the gods in revenge. The King of Uruk believed that such a large army was beyond the power of Sumer to defend against, and hoped to cooperate with us to kill the goddess who created the monsters before the monster army completely tore the foundation of the earth. "Eight
Ninurta reported the situation to Mansu truthfully. Since he came here in person, he could not omit any information that would upset his spirit. Otherwise, how could he make any requests or wishes later?
"So that's what happened. Why bother coming here in person? Without government affairs, there would be little time for rest. Even gods still need to rest. Even if the body doesn't need it, the spirit always needs it."④
There is still some necessary care for the tool man, after all, if it breaks down, it will be a waste of effort to remake it.
As for the report, now is indeed the time to kill the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon. The time to kill Gorgon is originally decided by her.
When Gorgon decides to launch the final attack, that is when she will die. The large number of Warcraft troops is indeed a point that cannot be ignored.
Even if Manshu wanted to kill all those things, it would still take some time. One hundred thousand is not a small number, not to mention that those monsters are not all fake.
Although it was much more intense, it was definitely created by the power of the goddess Tiamat, and it could rightfully be called the creation of the eleventh son of Tiamat.
"I have already planned this matter. Just reply to the king of Uruk and ask them to use Nippur as their base before the operation. I will help them destroy the temple of the goddess of monsters."
By this time, the Gorgon was no longer a serious enemy.
The Sumerian side has already pulled two of the three goddesses into its own camp. Although the three goddesses alliance has camp constraints, they are between the three goddesses.
This means that the other goddesses can hold Kingu back, and all that remains is for Uruk to face Gorgon head-on.
This alone is enough. Manshu actually doesn't have anything extra to replenish. He just needs to wait for the Axe of Marduk to be transported over from Uruk.
Since Manshu was going to destroy the temple next, there was no need to use the Axe of Marduk to destroy the Blood Temple of the Gorgon.
It would be a bit of a waste to use this axe to directly smash the Blood Temple. It would take 3 hours to destroy the Blood Temple, and the divinity of Marduk, Tiamat, and Gorgon would completely cancel each other out.
When the temple was smashed, the divinity in the axe was completely consumed. Mansu kept the axe and prepared to use it again.
"Everything on earth will be in accordance with your will, our Father. When the matter has been reported, our loving Father God, I hope you can listen to my request based on my personal desires."
Ninurta paused here and asked cautiously.
"Well? Then present your desires to me."
Manshu thought that he had indeed overlooked what this tool man was thinking, but what desires might he have? He didn't seem to have set up anything too complicated.
Manjushri, confused, asked Ninurta to speak first and he would decide based on the circumstances.
"Regarding the matter proposed by the King of Uruk to go deep into the abode of the evil god and kill the goddess of the devil before the devil swallows up Sumer, I hope to be able to participate in it."
"Just this one?"
Mansu leaned his head back subconsciously, and when he saw that Ninurta didn't continue talking after she finished speaking, he asked with a strange expression.
“Father, are your children greedy, with one request after another uttering from their mouths.”
"Then you can come with me. It will save me some trouble. If there is nothing else, go back first. When the people from Uruk come, you can go with them."
Manshu waved his hand with a lack of interest. He thought it was something else. This kind of thing was nothing special.
Ninurta was quite excited to express her emotions here, but she also followed Manjusri's order to leave as soon as possible and walked out of here.
"The next thing is how to smash the Nine Blood Temple. Well, just go ahead and force your way in. As long as we can't make the Gorgons affect them, it won't be too difficult."
As for destroying the Blood Temple, Mansu had originally intended to use the Axe of Marduk as a weapon, so he had considered it in advance.
If no other methods are used, the only obvious way to destroy the Blood Temple is to use the Axe of Marduk to smash the Blood Temple.
After all, there is a contractual relationship between the three goddesses. Even the goddesses cannot be exempted from the price of violating the contract between the three goddesses, and they will be killed directly.
Therefore, it is impossible for the goddess to come forward to destroy the Temple of Blood, so Uruk will not be able to mobilize any major firepower.
Moreover, even if they had the firepower to destroy the Blood Temple, they would still need to think about how to deal with the Gorgon after penetrating it.
The ready-made Axe of Marduk can be said to be the only obvious solution.
However, Manshu still has the strength to break through the fortress embedded in the mountain. If all the prepared things are used, it is possible that the temple and the goddess in the temple can be destroyed.
But Gorbagon is not the final BOSS, Qi Manshu has no intention of resting until the end.
"The loving Father has heard your request. The Holy One wants me to regain the power of a warrior. I will go with the warriors who are going to kill the goddess of monsters as a warrior who can conquer monsters. I will leave one of the goddess's snake heads and hang it on my chariot."
Ninurta said this to the envoy from Uruk after he came down the mountain. The envoy left happily after receiving the promise.
"This way there won't be any difficulty, and we'll even have an extra helper."
"Then let's go back to the Chaldean Embassy now and make final preparations before setting off for Nippur... King Gilgamesh, will you stay here? This should be a literal decisive battle."
After receiving the confirmed information, Merlin looked at Gilgamesh and asked.
"Of course, orders can be issued here. If you are unable to do so, the next battlefield will be Uruk.
When Uruk falls, the Mesopotamian world will meet its end. How can I not stay here when that happens? "
Gilgamesh refused the invitation to go to the battlefield. Possessing the ability to see the future, he knew that the moment of the real decisive battle had not yet arrived.
"So you're planning to be the last bastion? I know Uruk is the oldest fortress city of mankind, but I now realize what exactly constitutes its foundation and is the cause of its origin.
However, the Gorgons still have Kingo, who is the joker of this singularity and may be even more difficult to deal with than the Gorgons. I think you are the only one who can stop the impostor, or do you think he will not appear on the battlefield?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If there is a place to die in this battle, then this holy tower is the place where I will die. I will leave the task of dealing with that guy named Jingu to Quetzalcoatl! That guy is not a goddess and is not affected by the alliance contract. Is that right, Quetzalcoatl?"
According to the theory, Gilgamesh handed the problem of Kingu to Quetzalcoatl, and among them, apart from Gilgamesh, only Quetzalcoatl could stop Kingu.
Although Jingu has not performed well, he can undoubtedly be regarded as the strongest pillar in this land.
If Gilgamesh really relied on his strength, he would not be able to stop Kingo. Even if he was in good condition, it would still be hard to say who would win between the two. What's more, he has sealed his strongest treasure and is burdened with a large amount of magic power.
But because Kingu used Enkidu's body, he was unable to fight Gilgamesh normally, so currently there are only two people on the Uruk side who are capable of stopping Kingu.
"Well, leave this mission to me. Anyway, I can't go to the Blood Temple with you, so let me do the task of stopping Jin Wugu."
Quetzalcoatl was quite happy to take on this task, otherwise she seemed to have nothing to do.
The people who were ready to go to this battle quickly made their final preparations. They set out from the Chaldean embassy, said goodbye to the old man who came to express his gratitude, said goodbye to the soldiers who saw them off, said goodbye to the guards at the gate, and quickly rushed to Nippur with the help of Merlin's magic.
"It's really efficient. It's only been a day. According to normal human strength, even if you run at full speed, you should reach Nippur by night."
Ninurta, who was still handling government affairs, was surprised to hear that the people who were going to carry out the decapitation operation in Uruk had arrived, but she soon smiled.
"Then let me meet the next group of companions... No, let them go and rest first since they are rushing here like this. I will go there myself."
Ninurta thought about it and decided not to let everyone come to him first, but got up and went there.
"I personally asked my father for this matter, so there can't be any mistakes. They should be in perfect condition and clear away all fatigue first, so that there won't be any problems."
Ninurta, who had risen for this purpose, also brought the wheat that he had planted with his own hands, which was a symbol of abundance and gave the power of life.
Chapter 168 Before the Journey
In the house that Hedgehog had just prepared in Nippur for entertaining guests, the priests, cooks and servants who were in charge of the banquet gathered here to entertain the distinguished guests who had come from afar.
4 "Eat to your heart's content, for these are harvested from the fields designated by the Most Holy One. Rich and light springs flow through those fields, and the fruits there are enough to remove fatigue just by eating them."
As for the brave warriors who were going to go deep behind enemy lines to kill the goddess of warcraft, Nippur would naturally use the best things he could to entertain these risky warriors.
The Demon Goddess of Daina was the one who caused the entire Sumer to collapse into its current state, but she had previously appeared in person to destroy the city of Nippur. The hatred this land has for her has reached a point where it is difficult to express, and even being cut into pieces would probably not be enough to vent its hatred.
"Everyone in Nippur is just as enthusiastic as the last time I came here. They prepared too many dishes."
: Mashu couldn't help but be amazed at the food that was constantly being served on the table. This was even more exaggerated than in Uruk, and the other party's words were indeed true.
Qiu and his companions quickened their pace and arrived in Nippur. Although they used the means of transportation created by Merlin's magic, considering the road conditions more than 4000 years ago, even relying on the means of transportation was still mentally and physically exhausting.
But just smelling the unique aroma coming from the food on the table made them feel relieved from their mental fatigue, and also stimulated their appetite which had been reduced due to the fatigue of the journey. They could imagine how wonderful it would be to eat these foods and what kind of effects they would have.
