The Warrior of Love

Moreover, she is a "good god."

"Good God...you mean?"

"In terms of stance, she is not necessarily our enemy."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he looked around, saw the destroyed streets, and frowned slightly.

"Of course, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's clean up these things first."

"understand!"

Avisbronn said respectfully, "Please leave it to my puppets. They will be sorted out soon."

Chapter 616: Post-War Statistics, Goddess Strategy

It was only later that Jiang Liu received the information that Uruk was attacked.

It seemed that Jingu took advantage of the opportunity when the Sun Goddess attacked the city of Lagash, attracting the attention of Jiang Liu and others, and concentrated his superior forces to launch an attack on [World of Warcraft Front o Babylonia].

The battle did not last long. From the beginning, Kingu wanted to weaken Uruk as much as possible, but he did not think that he could decide the outcome in one battle, so his main target was the soldiers and servants guarding the city.

Therefore, although the battle did not last long, it was extremely tragic!

Eight super beasts and three berserk servants. Although Kingu himself did not participate in the battle for some reason, the beast front still faced the biggest crisis since its establishment.

During the battle, the Servant of Uruk successfully killed the seven-headed snake named "Mushimahu".

The seven-headed giant snake Muthumahu is a highly poisonous monster with the same origin as the Greek nine-headed Hydra. The blood that flowed out after its death quickly evaporated under the scorching sun and turned into poisonous gas that killed countless soldiers.

Archero Tomoe Gozen paid a huge price to deal with Mushimahu. During the contact between them, his spiritual base was corroded by its poison. Before his death, he released his treasure and sacrificed himself to shoot and kill the poisonous dragon.

Sabero Amakusa Shiro is a servant with relatively low ability values. It is incredible that he can be summoned with the job of "Saber". He is indeed unable to fight against such a powerful enemy.

Although he was very brave in the battle, he was quickly defeated and was attacked and killed by a wild beast from the shadows, which was either a demon beast or a servant.

These two Servants and Lancero Leonidas were the Servants guarding the city wall from the beginning. The sacrifices of Tomoe Gozen and Amakusa bought time for the arrival of reinforcements.

With the support of Ridero Ushiwakamaru, Lancero Musashibo Benkei, Assassino Fuma Kotaro, and Berserkero Ibaraki Douji, the battle line gradually stabilized.

(Gilgamesh originally planned to summon only six servants after summoning Merlin, to complete the seven classes.

But for some reason, a chain reaction occurred when summoning, and Ushiwakamaru brought Musashibo out together, resulting in an additional Lancero Musashibo Benkei in addition to the seven servants.)

Both sides have invested all their strength. In terms of numbers, Jingu, who can drive an army of monsters, naturally has the advantage. Among the high-end combat forces, super monsters are also more powerful than ordinary servants.

However, Uruk has "Babylonia". This Warcraft front is not a simple city wall, but a complete set of defensive fortifications, with everything from magic barriers to city defense cannons. With this front as a support, even ordinary soldiers can control magic props to join the battle, which immediately makes up for the disadvantage in numbers!

Therefore, although Jin Gu's army of monsters was very powerful, the battle situation was quite tense and no one could completely overwhelm the other.

With Achilles, who was recovering from his injuries in Uruk, joining the battle, Kingu completely lost the possibility of breaking through "Babylonia" in one fell swoop.

Finally, because Jiang Liu had given some instructions to Lixiang and others before returning to Lagash, the "hired" Venus goddess Ishtar returned to Uruk, just in time to catch the end of the war.

Jiang Liu was not stupid. He wondered why the timing of Quetzalcoatl's attack was so coincidental and thought it might be an enemy strategy. However, he was absolutely confident in his own strength. He knew that as long as Quetzalcoatl was in Lagash, there would be no problem. The only thing to worry about was Uruk.

Therefore, he told Ritsuka and the others that they didn't need to go to Lagash City, but could go directly back to Uruk - and sure enough, they caught up!

At this time, Ishtar, who had lost face in front of Jiang Liu, showed the majesty of a goddess.

The golden flash that crossed the sky turned into countless stardust and fell down, destroying hundreds of thousands of monster armies in the flames!

Even two super monsters had their cores destroyed by Ishtar!

In terms of battle performance alone, the goddess's achievements alone matched what the Uruk side had accumulated in the entire battle.

Jingu understood that it would be difficult to continue expanding the victory, and that continuing the battle would only result in too great a loss, so he ordered the super beasts and his servants to retreat.

However, the losses of both sides are not just what is apparent, the subsequent impact has just begun to emerge...

"Rider disappeared?"

In the temple in the city of Lagash, Jiang Liu spoke into the stone mirror used to convey messages, with an inexplicable worry in his tone.

"But I can feel the connection with him. He has not returned to the Throne of Heroes yet... It seems that he will not come back."

Although he didn't know Achilles' current situation, Jiang Liu made such an assertion, and Gilgamesh on the other side of the mirror also agreed with his statement.

"There is another one, Berserker is missing too."

"Your Berserker... is Ibaraki Douji?"

"Yes, it's the demon from the Far East."

Gilgamesh sighed, looking tired.

"She was originally a very difficult person to control. She couldn't stand the loneliness after being restricted everywhere in the city. After the battle, she took advantage of the chaos and left. Although the contract is still there, it's meaningless to summon her back by force."

"It seems that even the Hero King Gilgamesh has subordinates that he cannot control."

Jiang Liu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ibaraki is a wild and unruly fellow. However, she still has a contract with you, so she probably won't attack humans.

In this case, you don't need to break the contract, just leave her alone, maybe she will be useful in the future, then use the Command Spell."

“Rider’s matter…”

"Let him be." Jiang Liu was silent for a moment, and soon became firm, "We don't have the energy to care too much now. The most urgent task is to deal with the "Three Goddesses Alliance."

"Yeah... the goddess of the sun showed up in your place, right? She's an opponent that may be even more formidable than the goddess of monsters. What do you think?"

"No matter how we plan, that goddess is not so easy to convince. We still have to fight in the end to let her see our resolve."

"This is not an easy task... Babylonia is badly damaged now, and I need to reinforce the city defenses, so I can't support you. Sorry, I may have to leave all the matters concerning the Sun Goddess to you..."

"It doesn't matter, this battle is necessary for me."

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "But you have to be prepared. Even if we capture the Sun Goddess, the Three Goddesses Alliance will not collapse. There are more troubles waiting for us... or you."

Chapter 617: His name is Achilles!

Rumbling--

A tree that was so thick that it took several people to hug it was pushed down by the huge force. A huge dark figure rushed out from the depths of the dense forest and attacked the intruders with a deafening roar.

A green light flashed in the space, and at the moment when it crossed the dark beast, a spear pierced through the tough skin, penetrated through the gaps in the bones, and pierced through the heart of the monster with just one strike.

"Ow—"

The pitch-black monster roared miserably, but was no longer able to support its huge body, and fell to the ground, creating a wave of air.

“Uh… huh!”

The green figure stopped. Although the battle was short and easy, his condition was not very good.

His body was covered in blood and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the monster or his own body. His simple and sturdy light armor was also damaged in many places, and he looked like he had finally escaped from the Shura battlefield.

But in reality there was no difference. He had just experienced a battle that was quite brutal even in mythology, and its intensity was no less than the famous Trojan War.

At least, during the Trojan War, no gods personally launched a large-scale attack...

"This is really outrageous."

Achilles sat down against a tree trunk and took a nap. His rising and falling chest showed how tired he was. The always majestic hero was now in a more miserable situation than a refugee.

The meteor chariot that swept across the battlefield was no longer with him, and his immortal body was long gone. His speed, which was once the fastest in the world, was greatly reduced because his ankle was pierced. Now he only had a spear in his hand. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was seriously injured. He had obviously reached the end of his road.

But even so, he participated in the Battle of Babylonia and successfully protected the city.

However, after the battle, he did not stay in Uruk, but tracked the enemy into the forest.

Needless to say, this is a very dangerous behavior. Although the previous battle could barely be considered a victory for Uruk, Kingo still held the initiative, and the Warcraft army was not fundamentally shaken and still possessed the combat power of multiple top servants.

Even if Achilles was in his prime, it would be impossible for him to challenge such an enemy alone and get away with it, let alone now that he had to endure severe pain even when running.

No matter how things develop, the outcome of death is foreseeable.

"call!"

After resting for a while, Achilles stood up again and continued to move deeper into the forest alone.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, although he left Uruk without saying a word, his master did not regard it as a defection and still maintained the connection with him, and continued to provide magic power to this day, allowing him to continue to stay in this era.

If the connection is lost, without "acting alone", he will definitely not be able to survive for more than a few days even if he hunts monsters and eats souls.

Achilles' job is "Rider". Servants of this job are known for their powerful Noble Phantasms and mobility, but now he has lost several of his proud Noble Phantasms and can only walk through the forest full of monsters.

If it were an assassin with stealth skills, it would probably be much easier at this point. Unfortunately, he was a warrior both in life and in death, and nothing else, so all he could do was keep fighting.

Perhaps it was because he was going deeper and deeper, although he tried his best to avoid attracting the attention of the monsters, and ended the battle quickly even if he took action, the frequency of encountering enemies was increasing.

The large monsters have abilities that are comparable to those of the servants. Although they have no idea what skills are, they have strong vitality and are often difficult to kill with one blow. After encountering such monsters one after another, Achilles gradually became exhausted no matter how brave he was.

However, he gradually caught up with the person he had been following.

If it were under normal circumstances, the opponent would definitely not leave so many traces that could be tracked in the forest, but now the opponent has been deprived of his sanity and turned from a hunter into a beast, so naturally he would no longer pay attention to these details.

After all, Achilles was a disciple of the wise Chiron. Although he only liked to practice martial arts, he knew a thing or two about hunting. In his eyes, the opponent's footprints were as eye-catching as torches in the dark night.

The other party obviously did not notice him following behind. After entering the depths of the forest, it did not continue to approach the "nest", but wandered in the forest.

Maybe it has something to do with territorial awareness. Although it is under the command of the Warcraft Goddess, the beast instinctively hates and fears her. It will not approach the Warcraft Temple without orders. Compared to the cold and damp caves, it prefers the sunny forest.

As the distance shortened, Achilles could clearly sense a strong and violent aura ahead, and the frenzied beast was already within reach.

Finally finding the target, his pace couldn't help but slow down.

What on earth am I doing now? This thought flashed through my mind for a moment.

But soon, his will became firm again and his pace quickened again!

The first time I heard the other person's name was when I was very young.

The father, the man who, like many Greek heroes, loved strong liquor, adventure and women, the man who was suppressed by his wife after marriage, told his young son the story of his youth with a blushing face after getting drunk one time.

This is really not a strange thing. No matter in ancient or modern times, in the East or the West, it seems that fathers all over the world will show off their past glorious deeds to their children in order to establish a tall and dazzling father image - although often it has the opposite effect.

But Achilles liked these stories very much. Perhaps it was because the demigod had the gene for adventure in his blood. He had a great longing for the world of heroes described by his father.

The name of a woman appeared in these stories. When his father talked about her, she seemed like a different person, like a young boy, which left a deep impression on Achilles.

She was a rare female hero, famous for her bravery and courage that was no less than that of men. She was competitive and stubborn, quicker and sharper than anyone else!

Her father, who was known for his strength, lost to her in a wrestling match, which he was good at, and as a result, he could not muster up the courage to be in front of her.

Thinking about it now, I probably started to feel curious and admire this heroine from that time on, but due to different times, I didn't have the chance to meet her during my lifetime.

The Seat of Heroes, which is independent of the timeline, and the burning fire that spread to the entire human history, brought together heroes from different eras, creating dazzling sparks from each other... and he also had the opportunity to meet the heroine.

Perhaps in other world lines, in different Holy Grail Wars, he and she had met before, but at least this was his first meeting in this singularity.

However, when they met, the girl he encountered was not the heroic female hunter he had imagined, but a madman who was corrupted by darkness and turned into a beast.

Should I say it's disappointment or regret... or is there some other impulse?

Achilles was also very puzzled. This person was obviously just an existence in his imagination and they had never had any actual interaction, but why did he touch his heart so much?

But despite his doubts, he knew exactly what his true feelings were.

Angry! Anger like never before!

He was even angrier than when his good friend Patroclus was killed by Hector!

If it is a duel on the battlefield, then there should be no complaints even if you are killed.

Whether it is revenge for others or being sought by the avenger, that is the fate of being a warrior and a hero. If you kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed. No matter how miserable the end is, just face it with your head held high.

But heroes should never be treated like this!

His rationality was stripped away, his soul was twisted, his memory was shredded, and even his proof of being a hero was discarded, leaving only a bloodthirsty and frenzied beast.

How sad, how pitiful, how... regrettable...

All this gave Achilles reason to be angry, so much so that he left Uruk alone.

This might be very unfair to my master, but if it was that person, he would definitely understand, because he is also a warrior and would definitely understand me. The reason why he did not cut off the magic power supply was also to express his trust in me.

"Huh...who is it?!"

The dark beast noticed something and let out a roar that smelled of blood.

The blood-soaked immortal hero stopped, clenched the spear in his hand, and took a deep breath.

"I am the son of the great hero Peleus and the goddess Thetis - my name is Achilles!"
