Chapter 408 New Mission

"Too slow!" Jill was handling official business on the throne: "Li Yu, you, who can move through space, are too slow today~" After finishing the official business in his hands, Jill (Niang Shan) said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, it's all because of Ishtar. He kept talking so much and didn't get to the point, which caused me to waste a lot of time. Otherwise, if you summoned me, I would definitely come as soon as possible!"

“Forget it…” Wang Shanshan coughed twice: “Let’s get to the point quickly~ You know, time is very tight now~”

"You should know the city of Nippur," Wang Shanshan asked.

Mash said, "Is it the city that is still barely holding on on the other side of the Warcraft front? It is said to be a fortress city of the same level as Uruk."

"It seems you guys have put in a lot of effort~"

After hearing what Mashu said, Shanshan nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, but because of the attack by monsters, the city is now under siege. Since the attacks of monsters are cyclical, I have been organizing troops to help the people of Nippur City to take refuge during the intervals, but now it has reached its limit. So this time I have to help the remaining citizens take refuge together."

Mashu said, "That's a large-scale rescue operation, but I still don't understand the attack cycle of monsters."

"Warcraft, like ordinary creatures, has its own schedule and does not stay in a state of combat all the time."

This time, Wang Shanshan did not mock the other party but instead patiently explained.

"For example, a water snake that can rival ten soldiers actually has very low endurance. Legends say it can travel ten thousand miles a day, but in reality it has no such ability. The longest time a water snake can travel at its maximum speed is only one minute. If it exceeds this limit, its explosive power will drop instantly, and it will need to eat to replenish its energy."

Doctor Roman nodded as he took notes in Chaldea and said, "I see. It's similar to a cheetah. Its high-speed movements require a lot of calories, so a cheetah's hunt must be decided within ten seconds."

"That's a correct understanding. Even you guys are not completely useless~" Shiningly praised: "That's right! Even if you are a monster, you can't change your nature as an animal. For example! The Babylonian dragon has low suppression ability but extremely high durability. It can go a day without food and still function normally."

Wang Shanshan took the water from Siduri and drank it before continuing: "The monsters have their own characteristics. Originally, the monsters could not attack in such an orderly manner. However, a commander appeared among them, the Scorpion Man. He led all the monsters and launched a general attack on the battle line every seven days. However, such attacks always have omissions. The defenders saw the opportunity and launched a counterattack with all their strength."

"And this was the battle where Tomoe Gozen played an active role. ...Hmph, even though he's a mixed-blood, he's still a pretty good fighter."

A flash of reminiscence flashed across Wang Shanshan's eyes. Although he said that he didn't care, he knew clearly that if it weren't for those heroes fighting with all their might, Uruk would have fallen by now. Wang Shanshan was still very grateful to them in his heart, but if he was asked to say it out loud, forget it. A tsundere is a tsundere and will never admit defeat.

"Yeah~ I quite agree with this point." Meili closed her eyes and nodded: "After all, defeating Scorpion Man will have a huge impact on the battle line. If it weren't for Tomoe Gozen's desperate fight, perhaps the battle line would have collapsed long ago. Of course, this time it's our turn~"

"Who are you looking down on!?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "With me here, it won't be your turn to fight to the death"

"Yeah~" Meili nodded with a smile: "Of course~ I am absolutely convinced of Brother Li Yu's strength~"

"Li Yu's bravery is something that even I cannot find fault with~" Siduri said happily, "I have never heard such praise from the king~"

"Humph! I am the idle king! I should affirm the ability of my subjects and discuss the matter objectively. Isn't this what a king should do?"

Jill smiled on the side. After all, Li Yu was a master who convinced her: "Yesterday, Li Yu, you, Ushiwakamaru Muqing and Saber successfully fought off the attack of the monsters and caused heavy losses to the other side. According to this calculation, there are still six days before the next round of large-scale attack."

"So I have decided that you will be responsible for taking this opportunity to take the people in the city back to the northern city for refuge~" Wang Shanshan continued: "When this operation is successful, I will take back my previous evaluation of you as "useless"!"

"As someone who is qualified to restore human justice, please serve as my agent!"

"Yes! I will definitely complete the task!"

Gudako said excitedly!

Siduri, who was standing by, also had tears in her eyes.

"Wait a minute, Siduri! Why are you standing over there so moved that you are crying?" Wang Shanshan said with eyes wide open in confusion.

"Huh? No, no, that's not the case. I'm just remembering the hard times Fujimaru and the others had when they were doing odd jobs. Really."

Siduri immediately put away her previous expression and said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Fujimaru, you can finally stand at the official starting point. However, from the king's perspective, it may be a little early." Mary laughed.

"It's OK~" Li Yu glanced at Gudazi: "You are still too young to have someone as powerful as me to help you~"

"Speaking of which, what should we do with the clay version of Destiny? Isn't interpreting it also a very important topic?" Meili asked Wang Shanshan.

"No, I won't interpret it," Wang Shanshan said: "Since it's something that Fujimaru Ritsuka got, she should interpret it herself."

"Eh!? But I can't understand it at all!" Gudako said you don't understand the feelings of a poor student~
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just put your hands on the board and read with me,” said Wang Shanshan.

"In the city, in the city. The eye connecting heaven and earth, XX(Kil), the wasteland of Kara"

As Gudako and King Shanshan chanted the spell together, the clay tablet emitted a dazzling light.

"I cannot condone the king's evil deeds, nor can I ignore the king's cruelty...

"Senior! Wake up!!"

"Ah!!" Gudako was startled and almost jumped up when she opened her eyes.

"Senior! How are you? How do you feel? You look terrible!" Mashu asked Guda with concern.

"I... seem to have had a very uncomfortable dream..." Gudako said, clutching her chest.

“Hmph~ It seems that you~ didn’t get a clear answer. But even so, the cause and effect should be established. Because the content on this clay tablet is a record of what I unconsciously "saw" when I came back from the abyss.” Wang Shanshan leaned back in the chair behind him and said lightly with his chin supported by his hand.

"The man who calls himself the Magic King... Although you are trying to find out who burned the human principle, you have few clues. After all, the identity of the one in Chaldea has been exposed. He is the real Magic King~"

"But the body of the Magic King is driven by an unknown entity~ That's all... One day, you will understand why the things you peeked into exist in this way."

"Before that, just put these problems behind you. After all, even if you don't want to see it, the other side will come to you."

The Chaldeans did not say anything about this, for they already knew that the one who possessed Solomon was Goetia.

But this is the enemy they have to face, and it is useless to tell Wang Shan now.

So we didn't talk much.

After they left the palace, Ishtar, Anna, and Gougo, who were waiting in the dormitory, asked about the next move. "What? You want me to cover those ordinary humans?" Ishtar pouted.

"Stop complaining~" Li Yu stepped forward and rubbed Ishtar's hair hard (Ishtar: Don't mess with it): "Here~" Li Yu waved his hand and a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, diamonds, agates, jade and jade stones clattered all over the ground.

"Are you satisfied now~?"

Ishtar's eyes suddenly glowed with gold.

$_$ "No problem! Leave it to me! I am the protector of mankind! Protecting mankind is my duty!"

Dog brother covered his face speechlessly: "This broken god is hopeless~"

"Well~ I'm going to trouble Anna again this time," Gudako walked up to Anna and said.

"Well~ It's okay, I'll try my best..."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Everyone came to the northern fortress as quickly as possible...

"It's still as lively as Uruk. In addition to the soldiers, there are many people living and working here." Mashu stood on the busy street with a smile on her face.

Meili stepped forward with her magic wand and said, "Well, after all, we have been defending for half a year. In order to maintain normal operation, we must build appropriate streets. However, we must be more careful about the attacks of monsters here."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers began to sound the alarm, busy asking the citizens in the raided area to take shelter and calling for corresponding combatants.

Meili pointed at the monster climbing up the wall and said, "Look, there are monster attacks like this from time to time."

"Leave it to me~" Li Yu flashed and rushed out.

"Well! I can help too!" Anna was not slow either.

"It's not good to let you be the only one in the spotlight~"

Dog Brother shook the blood-red spear in his hand and followed: "Your performance is too bad! But I will be subjected to devilish training from the master! Ha!" A blood-red light flashed from the spear in Dog Brother's hand and directly penetrated the bodies of the three monsters.

"Don't underestimate me!" Anna's small body flashed, and the sickle in her hand fluttered in the air, instantly cutting off the necks of several monsters.

The three of them wiped out all the monsters in a short while.

After defeating the monster, the group turned around and saw Leonidas: "Hahahaha welcome, welcome~ You guys acted so fast that I didn't even have a chance to show off~"

Ushiwakamaru also appeared in front of everyone and greeted everyone, while Benkei ran over panting: "Finally caught up~ Ushiwakamaru-sama, you are too fast!"

"Please respect yourself before you jump off the city wall!"

"And rushing into a group of monsters alone, even if it's you, you'd better be safe than sorry."

Mou Qing kept complaining to Ushiwakamaru about all the "willful" behavior he had done along the way.

Ushiwakamaru laughed loudly and said that he just didn't listen to what you said. In short, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I'll dare to do it again next time!
"We're also rushing over here non-stop on the front line." Ushiwakamaru poked Li Yu with his elbow and said with a smile: "We just finished a fight yesterday and we're going to continue today!"

"Don't forget about us," Saber's voice came, and she and the master also walked over from behind.

"Yo, Master~" Brother Gou, who is a master fan, greeted him immediately.

Gudako smiled and said that everyone is gathered together again.

"This should be the first time we're going to have a big group battle!" Ushiwakamaru grinned and said, "I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Hmm!" Saber nodded: "Everyone here is a trustworthy comrade!"

"Hahaha..." Scathach sneered: "Xiao Ku's movements were a lot slower in the battle just now~"

Cu Chulainn broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained: "Master... Master! I was not serious just now! Believe me! I am definitely not backing down! I will try my best in the next battle!"

"That's the best~" Scathach frowned: "I thought you had too much contact with Maeve recently, which caused you to be exhausted~"

"Don't talk about adult topics like this in front of children!" Cu Chulainn cried with a sad face, "I will fight with all my strength next time!"

"Hmm~" Scathach nodded with a satisfied look on her face: "If your performance in the next battle is too bad, I will give you a hellish training~ Or rather, I am looking forward to it~"

"Please don't show such a dangerous smile, Master!" Cu Chulainn was so scared that he was sweating all over...

Everyone laughed out loud at Dog Brother's performance.

Leonidas also smiled and invited everyone to go up to the city wall. After they reached the city wall, he said to the others: "Although there are a lot of things I want to say now, I still have to explain the current situation first."

Then Leonidas pointed to a turret-like object not far from the city wall and said, "That is the key to repelling the monsters—the turret called the Seal of Divine Authority."

"Eh~!? Isn't this name the same as the clay tablet in the king's hand? Could this thing also be one of the king's treasures?" Mashu had already changed into the dark purple leather armor and was fully prepared for battle. She asked in surprise after listening to Leonidas' introduction.

"Of course!" Leonidas nodded. "You know, the king has a variety of powerful weapons, and this one is a large manual catapult. After the soldiers smash the lapis lazuli on the launch pad with hammers, the magic power stored in the gem will be released all at once, and it will be used as a thrust to shoot the treasure, that is, the weapon, towards the target."

“Hahahaha… This must be the Shining Railgun…” Roman laughed and continued to complain, “Under normal circumstances, King Gilgamesh would never agree to letting his soldiers take their treasures and then throw them away.”

"Yeah~" Li Yu nodded: "But after all, he is King Gilgamesh, this approach is understandable."

Niu Rou Wan sighed, "Although those are all valuable treasures, and we wouldn't use them like this if we weren't against such a large army of monsters, the turret's hit rate is really poor ~ very poor. As a result, it can only be used to contain the enemy, and the occasional hit is just good luck. This is the current situation."

"There's nothing we can do about it~" Li Yu spread his hands helplessly: "After all, it's already amazing to have this in this backward era. The king's treasury is also due to the times... Uh! I suddenly thought of something!"

A golden ripple suddenly appeared behind Li Yu. …
