Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo, though inferior to the eleventh son, were far superior to the average master and servant of Rahmu. They could only serve as vanguards, charging at the forefront, even venturing alone into enemy lines to establish greater advantages. If Ushiwakamaru was a spear, then Musashibo was the shield protecting that spear, an insurance policy to safeguard Ushiwakamaru.
At this moment, the two had already set up several obstacles at the forefront to stop Rahmu's charge, but because they were too close, they could not enjoy the support of the archers on the city wall, nor could they get much supplies. The surrounding area could be described as a meat grinder.
Human, Rahmu, Heroic Spirit—
These three different beings converge here. Although the vast difference in their strength makes their cooperation and battles somewhat uncoordinated, each being here still tries their best to play its greatest role and sacrifices itself to achieve final victory.
Merlin and Meryl had made preparations before they died, or rather, they had already made arrangements before Rahmu appeared. It was precisely because they had consumed too much magic power here that they realized it was meaningless whether they could escape from Tiamat or not, which is why they calmly performed their final dance.
After all, the creatures capable of fighting here far surpassed human capabilities. Even the humans of the Age of Gods could not calmly face these Rahmu, nor this brutal battlefield where people were being dismembered every second. Therefore, Merlin and Merly made some minor adjustments to the soldiers of Uruk when the Rahmu appeared.
One side of the battlefield.
Because the time dragged on for so long, the intelligence and performance of the Rahmu had also evolved. They realized that Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo were not easy to deal with, so they turned their attention to the soldiers who were still repairing the defensive buildings.
Although these soldiers had fought so many bloody battles against monsters, each of them was already among the best of humanity, heroes worthy of entering the King's Army and the Flame Gate Guardians, each incredibly powerful. However, this time the enemy was not a monster or any other enemy, but a Rahmu that was so bizarre that it exceeded human comprehension. This meant that even elite soldiers found it difficult to withstand more than one Rahmu, and even in one-on-one combat, they could only exchange severe injuries for one Rahmu.
"Forehead……?!"
A few stragglers crawled from the edge into the soldiers near the fortifications. Rahmu used his sharp tentacles to stab at the soldiers. Although he was caught in time, several soldiers were unable to dodge and were pierced through the calves and arms, splattering a lot of blood.
“%@@&%@%%——!!”
Upon witnessing this scene, Rahmu let out a gleeful, mocking laugh, seemingly rejoicing at the impending screams.
only--
"Ouch! My arm! And what are you laughing at, you monster?! It really hurts like hell!"
To Rahmu's surprise, these soldiers were different from the weak humans they had captured before. Even with their limbs pierced, they still swore and cursed. Far from losing their fighting spirit due to their injuries, they drew daggers engraved with runes from their waists and shoved them into Rahmu's mouth, catching them completely off guard. The other soldiers transformed into horse hunters, each wielding a spear and pinning Rahmu to the ground, where he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Afterwards, the soldier with the severed arm easily reattached it and even thoughtfully bound it with several strips of dark burlap.
Are you alright?
Their companions asked them how they were doing, but the wounded answered casually.
"No problem, the amulets that Merlin and the sorcerer gave us are so useful. As long as we wear them, we can't feel any pain or fear at all, and we can just fight directly. We feel full of power now!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the pink petal hanging around his neck, which was imbued with Merlin and Meryl's illusions to deceive the five senses.
However, his physical defects still affected the subsequent battle, so he took out a piece of dark bread from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth. The next moment, his severed limbs regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, a medical miracle worthy of being called the God of War!
This initially stunned both Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo.
Later, according to Chaldea's analysis, Merlin and Meryl were unable to create heroes on a large scale for tens of thousands of soldiers, so they could only mass-produce flower petals with illusions and have the priests sew them into amulets to help the soldiers overcome their fear and become berserkers who could fight without feeling pain.
Then, thanks to Tiamat's help, the black bread she baked with the Water of Life had considerable activity, with effects comparable to Gilgamesh's potions. As long as each soldier carried two pieces, it could be said that their battle survivability was maximized. This led to the extremely absurd scene in the battle between Uruk and Lahm, where humans traded battle losses with Lahm.
"This is outrageous! These soldiers seem invincible from any angle, right?"
Noticing that the soldiers around him had actually followed him here, and seeing their fighting style, Ushiwakamaru couldn't help but sigh. Rahmu was indeed a monster, but their side was monster among monsters.
The humans of the Age of Gods possessed superhuman physical abilities. Due to Merlin's illusion magic, they lost the sense of pain and were fearless. Everyone was willing to sacrifice themselves, and they also had extremely rapid regeneration and weapons enhanced with runes. Such an army could be compared to the heavenly soldiers and generals in mythology, right?
"Yes, I firmly believe we will win!"
Musashibo echoed the sentiment.
Although the situation remains unfavorable and it is only a matter of time before it is breached, he cannot imagine any reason to lose as long as he can fight alongside such warriors.
"Ok!"
Ushiwakamaru deeply agreed. As he kicked away two Rahmu, he leaped and stepped on a soldier's shoulder, cutting another flying Rahmu in half at the waist.
"I think so too! We have absolutely no reason to lose, right? Musashibo, I..."
"Well done, my warriors! The time you bought has not been wasted. My ultimate invention, in some ways surpassing my Ea's ultimate weapon, is finally ready for actual combat!!"
Before Ushiwakamaru could finish speaking, a very pleasant, cheerful voice suddenly rang out from the Uruk palace.
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh finally appeared atop the walls of Uruk, accompanied by hundreds of incredibly cool-looking golden cannons.
Gilgamesh's voice was like an encouragement, and his appearance was like a stabilizing force, instantly making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic. The golden light gate behind him gave him a dazzling golden effect, making him the center of attention as soon as he appeared.
But what the soldiers on the battlefield couldn't see was—
"Gilgamesh, are your hands injured? Why are they shaking so much?"
Standing beside him, Jingu asked in confusion, while Siduri beside him smiled slightly.
"No roadblocks! No roadblocks! What kind of sacrifice do you think I made? If it were you, you'd be crying right now, and you'd be rolling on the ground in heartache!"
Gilgamesh raised his hand and said in a trembling voice.
For him, there was nothing in this world that couldn't be solved with treasure; if there was, then he would simply invest even more treasure!
Hundreds of cannons adjusted their angles simultaneously, golden patterns covering the sky and earth like an ocean, and then—
"Use one-tenth of the treasure as ammunition! Prepare for the first volley!!"
"King's Treasury, I grant your permission! With the supreme wealth of Uruk, display your true defensive power! What penetrates the earth is our resolve—launch!!"
As the sound faded, streaks of golden light, like a meteor shower, streaked across the sky, illuminating everyone's faces, including—
Gilgamesh's eyes glistened with tears.
Chapter 299 Firepower Coverage
——Swish, swish, swish! !
Golden light rained down, piercing the sky and making the gloomy earth below, stained with blood, shine once more.
With Gilgamesh's support, countless golden trails started from the walls of Uruk, traversed the battlefield, and then rained down on the dark mass of Rahmu.
At this moment, the two pitch-black towers were also infused with more magic, and their light became even brighter. Then, under the golden rain of light, the two laser beams also quickly wiped away the dark clouds in the sky along with Rahmu, coordinating with the King's Cannon led by Gilgamesh.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!
The deafening explosions continued to assault people's eardrums, and the entire earth shook violently, emitting its own mournful cry. The flying sand and blood formed a natural protective barrier.
Musashibo: "Amazing, truly amazing, they actually had such hidden firepower."
Ushiwakamaru: "So this is the trump card Gilgamesh was talking about? It's incredibly powerful! But have those disgusting guys gone mad? They're charging forward despite this kind of firepower!"
Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo, who were closest to the battlefield, felt the heat wave coming towards them and glanced at the flying debris and dust of Rahmu. They couldn't help but sigh.
It wasn't just the power of the explosion; the heatwave alone forced Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo to bury their weapons in the ground to prevent them from being blown away by the aftershocks.
"Ugh..."
Barely surviving the explosion, Musashibo and Ushiwakamaru both looked up at the dark clouds that had been swept away by the Holy Lance and the King's Cannon, then looked at the battlefield ahead, and hurriedly inquired about each other's condition.
"Are you alright, Musashibo?!" Ushiwakamaru asked.
"I'm fine, Lord Yoshitsune. Gilgamesh's volley range isn't here, and the bodies of Servants aren't as fragile as you might think."
Musashibo answered.
"Ah That's good."
After learning that Musashibo was alright, Ushiwakamaru nodded slightly.
But before she could even catch her breath, the strange cries that suddenly appeared ahead made her tense up again. She hurriedly looked over and saw that the Rahmu that had been wiped out with a single click were now gathering in terrifying numbers and swarming towards them.
"This monster is endless, even more troublesome than a demon fallen into hell..."
She sighed inwardly, then prepared to draw her sword and continue the fight, but the next moment—
"Get out of the way of Lord Yoshitsune!"
Musashibo had once again shielded her in front of him, and then another endless rain of light shot in from the direction of Uruk's city walls.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble—!!!
Like the sound of fighter jets bombing, a large amount of mushroom cloud-shaped smoke and dust once again violently struck the already ravaged battlefield. Ushiwakamaru was unable to dodge in time and swallowed a mouthful of dirt. His light body was thrown directly to the ground, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Bah bah bah!"
Ushiwakamaru, her mouth full of dirt, looked up at the haphazard barrage of cannonballs. Being situated on the border between the two armies, she was arguably the first person, besides Rahmu, to experience the King's Cannon head-on. Although, due to the distance, the power of the King's Cannon she experienced was far less than one-thousandth of Rahmu's, she still had a clear understanding of its force. If she had to describe it, she could only say it was a terrifying power comparable to the lightning-covered might of the Heavenly Emperor Indra. She and Musashibo were like small boats teetering on the brink of capsizing; what about the others…?
She looked back at the soldiers behind her with concern.
After all, the human body is far too fragile under such artillery fire. Even a slight glancing blow from a stray bullet from the King's Cannon would be fatal, and as the leader, she was extremely worried about this.
only--
Wow! King Gilgamesh is so powerful!
"Is this the king's secret weapon? It's really amazing!!"
"Fight! Fight them hard! Let those monsters witness the power of Uruk!!"
"Where did this country bumpkin monster come from? Doesn't he know that the valiant Gilgamesh protects Uruk?!"
Clearly, compared to her worries, the Uruk soldiers hiding in the fortifications were not only unharmed, but also very enthusiastic, raising their weapons and cheering loudly for Gilgamesh's divine arrival. It was obvious that these soldiers cared more about whether they could kill Rahmu than about their own safety.
Ushiwakamaru was completely speechless upon seeing this.
I couldn't help but think how simple and honest people are these days. They're not worried about safety at this time, but rather enjoying the meteor shower.
But she now understood the true purpose of these fortifications: on the one hand, to withstand the Rahmu assault, and on the other hand, to allow soldiers to hide inside and avoid the salvo from the King's Cannon.
This has led to the current scene, where bloodthirsty spectators are hiding in the fortifications, enjoying the sight of Rahmu's death.
—Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The sound of the King's Cannon firing for two and a half minutes was deafening. During this time, what could be heard was not only the continuous explosions that were almost numbing, but also, more clearly, Rahmu's screams, accompanied by the twisting sounds of flesh being blown away, and even more intense cheers.
After this salvo, the battlefield, which had been like a meat grinder, suddenly fell silent. Soldiers crawled out of their fortifications, and everyone stopped attacking. Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo also retreated to join them. Everyone quietly watched the smoke curtain created by the explosion in front of them.
Whoosh—!
The moment the smoke cleared, everyone became alert, raising their weapons in preparation for the imminent arrival of Rahmu. They were all waiting for a new wave of attacks.
but……
"They retreated?"
Above the city wall, Kingu, who appeared alongside Gilgamesh and used his enhanced vision to survey the entire scene, slowly spoke.
Leonidas, who was leading his soldiers in defense, and Ushiwakamaru and others, who were waiting for the enemy's surprise attack on the battlefield, also noticed the anomaly.
It's hard to believe, but the Rahmu army, which had been launching suicidal attacks on Uruk like a swarm of insects from the very beginning, has actually retreated.
"Retreat? How is that possible?! Wow, they actually retreated!"
In the sky, Quetzalcoatl, riding a pterosaur, leaped down from the battlefield. Then she looked ahead at the black creatures that were retreating like a tide, now converging and retreating towards the Persian Gulf.
"Hahahaha!! They must be shocked by my cannons, right? After all, each cannonball is a human treasure imbued with epic and legendary power, and now it's being used so efficiently and brutally! Moreover, because the pressure on the monster front is much less than expected, the number of cannons is three times the original plan! Using completely destroyed Noble Phantasms as flames, the heat and brilliance are something that mere man-made monsters simply cannot comprehend or endure!"
