The Warrior of Love

Overall, it was similar to what Jiang Liu guessed: Quetzalcoatl had no intention of really destroying humanity.

She was summoned by the "Mother" and was given the task of destroying mankind from the beginning, but she is not a weak god who can be dominated by others. Even Tiamat cannot control her will.

On the one hand, although she was nominally a member of the "Three Goddesses Alliance", she did not put in any effort and never killed any humans - to be more precise, she killed and continued the battle.

On the surface, it looks like they are looking for adult men as sacrifices, but in reality, they are just looking for some people to wrestle because they are bored...

On the other hand, as the "pinnacle of goodness", Quetzalcoatl loves humans, but the perspectives of gods and humans are different, so she did not directly lend a helping hand to help humans resist the Demon Goddess.

Because she knows that this is just the beginning. If humans cannot even get through the hurdle of the Goddess of Warcraft, then facing future disasters, they will only become more desperate.

However, after this battle, I believe she is very clear about the strength of the human camp, and from now on, everyone will fight against the final BOSS together.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Liu also asked Quetzalcoatl about the secret of her sudden strength. The goddess raised her hand and pointed to the top of the temple. Jiang Liu stared at that place for a long time, and finally he realized it.

At the top of the temple is neither a statue of a goddess nor a mighty beast, but a huge stone plate.

It looks like a millstone, but there are many mysterious lines and patterns on it, which gives you a strong sense of historical vicissitudes at first sight.

——"Sun Calendar Stone".

One of Quetzalcoatl's treasures, it is a huge stone from the ancient Aztec civilization. It is said that the Aztec calendar and their various understandings of the world are engraved on it. It is a conceptualized treasure.

In mythology, Quetzalcoatl represents light, kindness, and the sun. This "Sun Calendar Stone" is of great significance to her. Basically, as long as Quetzalcoatl is within the radiation range of this treasure, she can enjoy divine blessings comparable to those in local combat, and her power far exceeds that of a normal servant of the god.

“Ugh! How, how could this happen?!”

A panicked voice came into Jiang Liu's ears. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the leopard man who pulled the head out of the ground.

"I was knocked unconscious? This is not good! What about the battle? How far has it progressed? I must have missed it! Wuwuwu, why did you use such a heavy hand on me? I am just a free leopard man."

The leopard man seemed to be greatly shocked and looked like he couldn't accept it. His doll costume showed a very human expression of a pitiful man who was about to cry.

This is not surprising. After all, he had just been hit by Quetzalcoatl and was knocked unconscious despite the physique of a god's servant. It can be seen that Quetzalcoatl really did not hold back.

It was said that the leopard man had betrayed Quetzalcoatl, which led to his severe beating. However, when he woke up, Quetzalcoatl had already discussed with Jiang Liu and the others about joining the group...

Then didn't she get beaten for nothing? !

"No! Don't do that!"

He learned from Anna that Jiang Liu had solved the problem and Quetzalcoatl was now his companion. This should have been a cause for celebration, but the Leopard Man rolled on the ground.

"He actually got along well with Kukul while I was sleeping... How cunning! I haven't taken revenge on Kukul yet, meow!

Thinking back, after being summoned, I have been bullied by Kukul. The pressure was so great that even my fur is not as shiny as before.

Now that I finally have the chance, can't you wait until I've taken revenge? At least, at least we need to make it clear who's superior and who's inferior. I joined first, so my status should be higher than Kukul's!"

"Well..." Jiang Liu scratched his cheek in annoyance. As the leader, he should have said something to comfort the Leopard Man, but from a personal perspective, his opinion of this magical creature was -

Try not to get involved!

Not only him, but even Anna and Duan Zang ignored the leopard man who was making a fuss and let him do it alone.

——However, unexpectedly, someone extended a hand of friendship to the leopard man on the ground.

"It's okay, hold my hand and stand up, Leopard Man-san!"

"Oh, thank you. As expected, there are still many kind people in this world——Huh?"

The leopard man in doll clothes tilted his head, blinked, and uttered the name as if sleepwalking.

"Kukul?"

"hello!"

Quetzalcoatl held the leopard man's right hand and smiled very kindly.

"Then--"

Like an Olympic athlete, the muscular Quetzalcoatl assumed a throwing stance, spun the leopard man like a hammer, and then threw him into the sky.

"goodbye!"

Chapter 627: Lord of the Wrathful Wind

"Is it finally starting?"

In the long, silent night, only the royal palace (temple) in the center of Uruk was brightly lit. The golden-haired king, who had just returned from the underworld, sat on the throne, with flickering firelight reflected in his ruby-like eyes.

"Although there are still many shortcomings, hesitation will lead to lost opportunities. It is time to make a decision."

As Gilgamesh said this, everyone gathered in the audience, whether it was Ritsuka and Mashu from Chaldea, or Merlin who was summoned, all looked serious.

While Jiang Liu was attacking Quetzalcoatl, Uruk was also simultaneously attacking Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld. Facts proved that Jiang Liu's trust in Lixiang was not in vain. This weak girl actually went deep into the underworld and convinced the aloof and awkward goddess.

There was a small episode in the middle. Gilgamesh fell asleep due to fatigue, and Ereshkigal took the opportunity to abduct his soul and took it to the underworld.

Of course, this is not a big deal, after all, it is not the first time that Gilgamesh has gone to the underworld. Later, he was indeed rescued by Ritsuka and others, completing the rare achievement of escaping from the underworld twice.

That goddess is similar to Quetzalcoatl, and although she says she wants to exterminate humans and rule Mesopotamia, she actually doesn't hate humans. It can even be said that she loves humans... and their souls.

Ritsuka had met many strange people in Chaldea. Ereshkigal was at best a little awkward, but it was not difficult to communicate with him. In the end, he succeeded in making her put down her disguise, change her mind, and stop dealing with Uruk.

However, unlike Quetzalcoatl, Ereshkigal is basically unable to move away from the underworld, so he cannot provide any substantial help to Ritsuka and the others, and can only cheer them on in the underworld.

But no matter what, the so-called "Alliance of Three Goddesses" is now in name only!

Two of the three goddesses were turned against the humans, leaving only the Warcraft goddess who still insisted on her position and was hostile to humans. However, judging from her divinity and style, this goddess was the least likely to compromise.

"So, in the end, there has to be a big battle to let everything settle."

Gilgamesh said calmly: "We will start preparing from tomorrow. We must mobilize all the forces we have at hand as soon as possible... Well, we have been in a "state of war" anyway, so it won't be difficult to prepare.

only……"

"It's just that this time we're taking the initiative to attack, which is very different from the previous defenses relying on city walls. Ordinary soldiers may not be able to adapt, right?"

A handsome man wearing a clean white robe and with messy and fluffy white hair, but who inexplicably gave people a gorgeous impression, stood up. Holding a magic wand, he talked in front of everyone with a frivolous smile on his face.

"This is exactly what I am worried about." Gilgamesh sighed slightly and glanced at the man helplessly. "What do you want to say, Merlin?"

The real name of the man in white is "Merlin", the most famous wizard in the Western world and the "Dream Caster" who plays the role of a sage in the Arthurian legend.

Originally, he could not be summoned because he was not dead at all, so naturally he did not ascend to the Throne of Heroes.

However, the singularity is a special world that distorts normal time and space. The binding force of concepts and laws is greatly weakened here. Therefore, many beings that are not qualified can also be summoned as servants.

The Merlin who appeared in Uruk now was just the "avatar" summoned by Gilgamesh. His real body was still a peeping Tom in the "utopia" independent of the outside world.

However, even if he is not the real body, Castero Merlin's personal ability should not be underestimated. Excluding problems with his personality and style, the wise king actually trusts this guy very much.

"We can't fight the goddess of monsters head-on. Monsters can be reborn after they die, but our warriors can't be resurrected, even if the goddess of the underworld stands on our side.

There weren't many human survivors to begin with. The population of Uruk and Lagash combined was less than one-third of what it was before the catastrophe. We must not only strive for victory, but also consider what happens after victory.

For the future of the Mesopotamian people, population is a resource more precious than gold. Even if we protect one more person, that means we have more hope. We must try to reduce unnecessary sacrifices."

Everyone, including the wise king and Ritsuka, nodded in agreement at Merlin's words, and they all looked at Merlin in anticipation of his thoughts.

"Well... So, let's be smart here and use blitzkrieg and decapitation tactics."

"A blitzkrieg, a quick battle?" Ritsuka hesitated, "Rush directly into the enemy's lair and kill them all?"

"Well, there are still many details to be solved, but this is roughly it."

Merlin said easily: "Everyone should have realized that although we seem to be passively counterattacking under the attack of the Warcraft, our strength has surpassed the Warcraft Goddess.

If we combine the power of Lagash City, the Servant-level combat power we can mobilize will not lose to the Goddess of Warcraft in terms of both quantity and quality.

Although we do not have the upper hand in the war between ordinary soldiers and monsters, we have a great chance of winning the war between servants.

In this case, we should leave the necessary forces to defend the city, avoid a head-on fight with the monster army, and then form a strong team of servants to deal with the monster goddess directly. "

After a pause, Merlin continued, "Hasn't there been news from Fujimaru's brother that he has convinced the Sun Goddess? The Beast Goddess has been completely isolated. In other words, she is the final enemy.

If all goes well, we can end this war in one day!"

"Decapitation tactics? Although it sounds risky, it is definitely worth a try."

Gilgamesh nodded: "This is my opinion as well. The normal war mode consumes too much energy for us. We must give full play to our advantages in high-end combat power and directly attack the core of the distortion - the Goddess of Warcraft!"

"I understand!"

Ritsuka clenched his fists and said firmly, "Mashu and I will also be prepared... Yes, we will also contact my brother."

"Your brother... well, I will not make a mistake. If nothing unexpected happens, he is the core of this battle.

I cannot leave Uruk, so I will have to ask him for help when the time comes.

No matter what, the Warcraft Goddess inherited the power of the "Mother Goddess Tiamat", so it is extremely difficult to kill her cleanly, and ordinary attacks cannot do it at all.

At this time, it depends on Jiang Liu, after all, he appeared in the name of that god——"

Gilgamesh spoke the name slowly with a deep tone.

"Enlil, Lord of the Storm!"

Chapter 628: You need to pay more!

This time when Jiang Liu came to Mesopotamia, he borrowed the name of "Enlil", the god of wind in Sumerian mythology.

Although Enlil is only the "God of Wind", he is actually an ancient god-king who has always held power. He has an extremely important position in Sumerian mythology, no less important than the god Anu and the god of war Marduk.

It is also worth mentioning that although in the mythology it was Marduk who killed Tiamat with an axe and split her body into mountains and rivers, the heaven and the earth were created from then on.

But in fact, the reason why Marduk was able to kill Tiamat was because he borrowed the power of Enlil and used the divine wind to cut the body of the mother goddess, giving her a fatal blow.

In the Sumerian mythological worldview, only "wind" is the nemesis of Tiamat, and its restraining effect on the mother goddess is greater than that of Marduk (thunder, sun, fire).

Under the rule system of the Type-Moon world, the restraining effect in the myth is almost absolute. According to general logic, since "Enlil" has descended to this singularity, it is natural for him to defeat the goddess of Warcraft (Tiamat) who inherited it.

Gilgamesh's confidence also comes from this.

However, he was still a little optimistic, as things would not turn out so simply.

Because Jiang Liu really just borrowed a name, this spiritual base is a "degraded version" that completely imitates the original body. Although the parameters of various abilities have been reduced, it still has all the abilities it should have.

Although he was nominally "Enlil, the god of wind", in reality he did not inherit any divinity, let alone power.

The servant's panel looked quite realistic, and it really looked like Enlil had descended... but that was actually Jiang Liu modifying the ability of "Stormbringer" and then impersonating him.

Seriously speaking, Jiang Liu can now display a fighting ability that is not inferior to Enlil, and even his fighting style can imitate the "God of Wind". It doesn't matter if he is Enlil himself.

——But he really couldn't restrain Tiamat.

This battle will ultimately have to be fought with hard efforts!

Of course, even without the advantage in compatibility, Jiang Liu is extremely confident in himself.

After exchanging information with Uruk through long-distance communication, a battle plan was quickly formulated.

On the Uruk side, the wise king Gilgamesh, Lancero Leonidas, and Lancero Musashibo Benkei stayed behind, commanding the army to garrison on [Monster Front o Babylonia] to fight against the monster tide that was bound to attack wildly.

The remaining Servant-level combat forces: Ridero Ushiwakamaru, Castero Merlin, and Assassino Fuma Kotaro, were incorporated into the "Assault Team".

Naturally, the duo from Chaldea will also attack.

In the city of Lagash, only Castero Avisbronn was left to guard the city. Compared with the remaining combat force in Uruk, it seemed a little weak. However, although the city of Lagash was small in scale, its fortifications were more complete than those in Uruk, and the average combat power of the soldiers was much higher.

With Avisbronn's army of puppets and warriors who can fight monsters, and relying on the cliff wall created by Jiang Liu, it is not difficult to block the wave of monsters!

Jiang Liu brought Athena, Anna and Duan Zang to join the assault team.

By the way, because of the covenant between the "Three Goddesses Alliance", the three goddesses cannot attack each other, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Therefore, neither Ereshkigal nor Quetzalcoatl can fight against the Goddess of Warcraft, and their fighting power cannot be taken into consideration.

Of course, this kind of "peaceful and friendly" constraint only applies to the goddesses. As long as you don't directly attack the Warcraft Goddess, but only destroy some of her followers, there is no problem at all.

Therefore, Quetzalcoatl said that she could help Jiang Liu and the others deal with the Warcraft and Jingu, but at most she could only go outside the temple. Because of the covenant, she did not want to enter the temple and face the Warcraft Goddess.

After the personnel allocation was decided, another day passed in the blink of an eye.

Both Uruk and Lagash have informed their people of the upcoming final battle so that they can be mentally prepared in advance, and have begun emergency mobilization of young and strong people and soldiers.

Interestingly, Danzo, who was in charge of detecting the movements of Warcraft, met the former Uruk Servant who ruled the mountain, Berserkero Ibaraki Douji, when he passed by a certain mountain.

This demon servant who was born in the Far East, took advantage of the chaos after Kingu's attack on Uruk to leave Gilgamesh's army. He has been missing since then, but unexpectedly, he has become a mountain king.

Of course, this was not a big deal. After all, she and Gilgamesh parted ways amicably. She just ran away because she couldn't stand the constraints.

Since she is unwilling, it will be useless even if he is forcibly summoned back. Now Itsuki doesn't even need Gilgamesh to provide him with magic power. He relies entirely on hunting monsters and eating souls. The contract between him and Gilgamesh only serves to maintain his existence.
