In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Anna nodded, not dwelling on the issue.

At that moment, Scáthach and Alter also came to see them off.

"Are we about to set off, Master?" Scáthach asked as she approached.

Luo Wei nodded and said, "Yes, we can't delay any longer. The longer we delay, the harder it will be to achieve the later plans."

"You guys aren't going too, are you?" Luo Wei asked.

"Although I really want to go, I think I'll pass."

Scáthach shook her head and said, "Even if I wanted to go with you, you wouldn't allow it, right? After all, we both have reasons why we can't be willful."

“I understand, thank you.” Luo Wei nodded.

“Do we need to stand on ceremony, Master? However, I heard about the plan from that succubus—after dealing with Gorgon, Tiamat's second wave of beasts will arrive. That place is near the Arabian Sea, and you will have to face the onslaught of the beasts directly, so you must be careful. But to make Tiamat's true form appear, we have to get close to the Arabian Sea. Gilgamesh is already at the pre-arranged location waiting for you to meet up. Leave things here to us,” Scáthach said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. This time, we must find out her true form no matter what, and I will use the Temple of Time when the time is right."

Scáthach nodded.

Watching Rowe and Anna depart, Scáthach turned to the man on the black horse beside her and said, "Are you planning to sneak over there?"

“That’s right. If you weren’t here, I would probably be setting up defenses here. But since you’re here, it won’t make much of a difference if I go out to help. So I’m going to sneak over to Gilgamesh and wait for him to come over.”

Hearing this, Scáthach smiled and said with emotion, "Although I am quite happy to have your recognition of my strength, it is really difficult to run away like this. However, you are indeed more suitable than me. You are not a Servant, but a god, and you have your own mount. Whether it is speed or other aspects, you are much stronger than me in this state. With you with him, I can rest assured."

"Sigh... So, it's such a rare opportunity to meet again, but why is it on a battlefield like this? The battles with monsters are far less intense than the battles with heroes. I kind of miss the old Holy Grail Wars."

Scáthach complained.

Exusiai, My Brother-in-Law Is No Good

Ever since Remien fell into a coma, Xiao Le's eyes have been getting weirder and weirder, and he keeps saying strange things like, "I'm about to turn eighteen," "I can't leave my brother-in-law alone in the house," and "Don't run around."

Previously, Remi'an would come to the room to check if it was safe before going to bed, but now the key is in Xiao Le's hands.

Fortunately, little LeBee is very thoughtful and will bring her a hot drink before bed.

That's great! My sleep quality has improved a lot!

But even though my sleep quality has improved, why do I feel like my body is getting worse and worse...?

Perhaps the milk of tumor-bearing animals isn't suitable for drinking before bedtime; that's an interesting research topic.

"I'll try it tonight and see how my sleep quality is if I don't drink it!"

—This is what Cheng Che recorded in his diary the day before he left Lateran.

Chapter 275 Here comes the little flying stick!

As dawn broke, Uruk and Mesopotamia witnessed another important sunrise.

On the northern city wall, rows of strangely shaped musical instruments, or rather, weapons capable of producing sound, continuously emitted low, guttural sounds. Similarly, below the Uruk city walls, the dark, phalanx of figures were Uruk soldiers, standing armed and facing the desolate plains to the north, where a dense, blood-soaked forest lay.

These figures were all human soldiers trained by Leonidas or Quetzalcoatl, who had endured hardships and survived time and again in such hellish conditions. Each of them had successfully crossed the limits of life and death in both body and will. At this moment, each of them could be compared to the soldiers in the army of King Iskandar.

Another group consists of those who have never received guidance from any gods or heroes, but their desire to live has driven them to struggle to this point in this painful world. Now, their willpower is in no way inferior to that of other soldiers, and they too are warriors who can regard death as nothing, having been assembled on this battlefield.

"Is this the final moment? It seems this disaster is coming to an end."

The Uruk soldiers stared at the distant, calm, and desolate plains while chatting idly with the Ur soldiers who had been transferred from Ur to guard this area.

"That's right. It seems that the goddess has already ridden her pterosaur back to Ur to make some preparations. That person whose name I don't know has also set off with Miss Anna. According to High Priestess Siduri, they should be heading to Gorgon's base camp to save the [Primal Mother]."

Gilgamesh was an honest man, or perhaps more accurately, proud. In any case, he disdained to deliberately conceal anything, especially from his people. From the moment Lovi explained the plan and gained the support of all his Servants, he had Siduri inscribe the fact that the plan had been changed on clay tablets, which were then hung in the square and on the walls of Uruk to inform everyone in Uruk and to solicit their opinions.

If he were in his youth, he would at most regard the people of Uruk as a bunch of ignorant people parasitizing him, supported and guided by him. He would think that as the king, they had no right to disobey his decisions and choices, and that their wisdom would not be able to comprehend his foresight. Therefore, Gilgamesh would certainly let them continue in ignorance.

However, people's thoughts change with age and experience. Having reached this age, seen many things, and experienced many hardships, he has now changed his mind.

No one in Uruk is a foolish people who would perish without a king; it is only because they themselves limited their potential and their wisdom. Even without themselves, the flame of civilization will not die out, and life will find its own way.

So Gilgamesh, who was already prepared to let go, handed over the opportunity and choice to them. He revealed to the public that the clumsy woman in the bakery was Tiamat, and changed the plan from eliminating her to saving her. He also engraved the fate of Uruk's inevitable destruction that he had seen before into the plan, and then let the people choose for themselves.

If you are willing to fight against fate, to battle as a child of man against the mother of creation, and to save her with the determination of humankind, then stay here.

If you cannot let go of the hatred in your heart, or if you cannot muster the courage to face death and want to continue living, then seek refuge at the gates of the underworld.

Gilgamesh would not blame them for either of their choices.

The former is the determination to strive for the future, willing to burn oneself and give one's life; the latter is the courage to live on with heavy sacrifices, and to continuously pass on the stories and civilization of this place.

No matter what choice he makes, Gilgamesh will not be angry.

So this time there was no impassioned speech, he didn't even show up, he simply revealed the truth and let life choose its own ending.

Uruk's choice did not disappoint him.

When the truth was revealed, the people of these different city-states were somewhat surprised to learn that the beautiful woman, clumsy in the bakery who always liked to bake charcoal-flavored bread and rock-flavored soup for them, was the legendary creator goddess Tiamat. However, they quickly accepted this fact and were all willing to offer their insignificant but very precious power.

Isn't it just two sides of the same coin? It's normal for gods to have different aspects, otherwise how could they be called gods? But even though people know they are one person, they still like to see them as two separate individuals.

Although they had little real connection to the mythical mother goddess and things that were too distant to be motivated, since they were too far removed from human life, they were motivated by the idea of ​​a woman in Uruk that everyone loved.

"However, it's really remarkable. Just a while ago I was worried about how to survive, and now I'm going to be involved in such a plan."

"Who knows? But compared to dying quietly in some corner of the wasteland, this kind of death is much cooler, isn't it?"

"Even in this state, you're still thinking about how to die in a cool way. You're really something else. But you're right, compared to dying meaninglessly, this kind of death suits me better."

The two soldiers were chatting and laughing. At this point, they looked at each other and smiled. At the same time, a slight tremor came from the ground, and a low growl could be heard in the air.

"Enough with the small talk, everyone! We're about to face our enemies. Remember, every monster we slay brings greater safety to our city and our families!"

Leonidas, at the very front of the group, drew his Spartan spear, while Ushiwakamaru, standing beside him, raised his katana.

"They actually came! Mage Melly is truly a prophet."

Ushiwakamaru sighed as he watched the approaching monsters.

"Yes, Lord Yoshitsune, that's precisely why we need to work even harder. Every one we eliminate reduces the threat over there."

"Haha, you're right. And today is different from before. So many people are here, everyone is prepared, and—such a beautiful and powerful warrior queen is here to help."

Ushiwakamaru glanced to the side, and Scáthach, the commander-in-chief of this battle, said this.

"Um... Lady Scáthach, are you really going to fight here? As the commander, shouldn't you be sitting on the city wall directing the battle and only taking action when it's absolutely necessary?"

"A normal head coach would do that, but for me, being on the front lines is more suitable than being a head coach. After all... I sometimes want to vent my emotions a little."

As she spoke, her wine-red eyes flashed with anger and displeasure.

Why should she be the one to guard the house?

Although the battlefield was indeed intense, what she wanted was not to fight against magical beasts.

As time passed, at the forefront of the battle line, a monstrous beast emerged restlessly from the wasteland.

"Um?!"

Everyone's eyes immediately became wary.

When they looked closely, they saw a white figure running wildly across the yellow earth in front of the monster at the very front. The figure was so fast that it left a blur, and the dust it kicked up was so thick that it filled the sky. The monster behind it could only stare at its taillights and eat dirt.

"Merlin the Wizard?"

Musashibo saw through the figure's true form.

While Merlin was leading the magical beasts on a wild run, from the depths of the wasteland, even more magical beasts, invisible to the naked eye, surged out of the forest like a hurricane.

"As expected, Gorgon won't give up easily and will continue to launch attacks, but I didn't expect them to send out such a large number."

"Hahaha, now I know why. No wonder Mage Merlin could predict the future. It turns out he had Merlin as bait. He really had a hard time. In that case, we can't let him down."

Ushiwakamaru laughed heartily in response, while Leonidas, standing nearby, raised his shield and spear and shouted.

"Move out!!"

Another brutal war is on the verge of breaking out.

……

"So many of them got close so easily?"

"Well, after all, Gorgon has lost her mind. Apart from the essential defensive magical beasts in the forest, she has pushed all the other magical beasts to the front line, so it will be much more convenient."

At this moment, Rowe and Anna were walking in the forest where the Gorgon headquarters was located. The climate here was far less sweltering than in the south; on the contrary, the pervasive smell of blood in the air was rather unsettling.

The plan to attack the Temple of Blood was prepared from both sides.

Let Merlin go to the front and provoke Gorgon to send more monsters to attack from the front. Meanwhile, Lovi and Anna will sneak in through a pre-planned path, strike at the heart of the enemy, and kill Gorgon to carry out the decapitation plan.

Correspondingly, Ushiwakamaru, Leonidas, and Scáthach need to withstand the pressure from the monsters head-on and try their best to distract the monsters from the two on this side, so as to increase the possibility of successfully infiltrating.

"If it were you, you'd be stuck with monsters right now. With your strength, you can't even clear out tens of thousands of monsters, so how could you possibly defeat Gorgon?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Anna nodded without refuting, and silently tightened her grip on the purple scythe.

Her eyes gazed silently into the depths of the forest, her gaze filled with seriousness and determination.

He silently vowed to himself, 'This time, this time, I must completely eliminate her…'

Seeing this, Luo Wei remained silent, offering no advice or encouragement. He simply stayed by Anna's side, helping her navigate the impending separation and fulfilling her unwavering belief.

Because Merlin had indeed lured the monsters out, the defenses here were extremely weak. To ensure that Gorgon would fall for the trap, Merlin dressed up as Athena and appeared in the forest right in front of Gorgon. The effect was exceptionally good, and they almost lured Gorgon out as well.

In short, thanks to Merlin's sacrifice, the two-man team made very smooth progress towards the heart of the Blood Temple.

"We're about ten minutes away from the Temple of Blood. Anna, you can decide everything from here on out."

Where the outline of the cave was now visible, Rowe stopped and spoke his last words to Anna, asking, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your help, Luo Wei, but this is something I've already decided, so I will still choose to do it this way, however—"

Just as Anna was about to finish speaking, she leaped in front of Rowe, raised her scythe, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Enemies!"

—Splash splash splash splash! ! !
