Gray was also surprised: "I remember she was Sakura's..."
"Get out of my way. The only one I'm looking for is that golden--" Ishtar landed lightly, intending to let the Chaldean group get out of my way.
"Sister?! Why are you dressed so indecently!" Ying asked awkwardly.
Ishtar felt strange. She looked at Sakura who was calling her sister: "Sister? Who are you calling...eh?"
After meeting Sakura's gaze, Ishtar suddenly felt a tingling sensation at the back of her neck.
She was obviously a girl that she liked at first sight, but for some reason she felt that she was difficult to deal with.
"Is it really Toosaka Rin?" Morgan pinched his chin.
"I heard that she traveled around the world and hired young pirates to salvage sunken ships..." Shiomi narrowed her eyes, not wanting to admit that she had taught her magic and physical skills. "Although I knew she was a bit careless, I didn't expect she was still crazy."
Hakuno wasn't surprised, at the end of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, it was because she recognized Rin and Sakura that Gilgamesh was able to stop at just defeating the Servants.
——After all, he is the red devil who created the "Tōsaka Money is Power System".
"Dad, don't talk about my sister like that... My sister, I just, just..." Ying tried to defend herself, but couldn't think of anything nice to say for a long time, "It's just that I'm a little bit off topic!"
"A little?" Olga Marie tilted her head.
"Not right?" Lixiang was full of questions.
"That's all?" Mashu was a little dazed.
Ishtar felt an unprecedented shame, which was not as fatal as the insult to her dignity, but more like the embarrassment of having her past exposed.
Could it be that these guys knew the body she was possessing?
No, these guys are not from the Mesopotamian countries.
"Sister, it's not too late to stop now." Ying wiped her eyes seriously, her true feelings revealed, as if she had seen the shame of the family.
Ishtar finally reached her limit, holding her head and wailing, "Ah, I've had enough! No matter where you guys come from! I'm only looking for that Gilgamesh! Get out of my way!"
She raised her hand as she spoke, just as Toosaka Rin was using the seal to launch Gandr, but the magic power stored in her five fingertips was golden.
The power is absolutely beyond the reach of Gandr.
The golden magic bullet was fired, heading straight for Gilgamesh, who was walking up the steps and standing in front of the throne to watch the show, but the other party remained unmoved.
Because Mashu had already jumped up and raised her shield to block the attack.
Ishtar was surprised, but the battle did not give her the opportunity to be surprised.
"Please, Miss Anna."
Gray whispered, and she and Anna swung their scythes together, attacking from both sides.
——From the time they met until now, the girls have gained Anna's initial trust and made her willing to help.
With a low click of her tongue, Ishtar stepped back, her massive weapon flying out to block the attack of the two sickles.
"Don't think that having more people is great."
Ishtar became more and more excited. She held four gems of different colors between her fingers and threw them at the two men.
"With my voice, my shadow rends the earth."
Before the magic power of the gem could be released, it was swallowed up into the imaginary space and transformed into magic power that attacked Ishtar in return.
"what?!"
Having suffered a great loss, Ishtar distanced herself from the girl who performed the strange magic.
"Sister... Can you let us deal with Ishtar, Dad?" Sakura raised her wand.
"She's a goddess, don't force it." Shiomi said, "If the timing is not right, ask for help."
Sakura showed a look full of fighting spirit and responded crisply:
"Understood!"
Chapter 7: Settling in the Tower
"Aren't you going to help?"
Sakura and the other girls worked together to force Ishtar out of the hall step by step, and fought on the steps in front of the sacred tower.
From the throne in the hall, Bai Ye could still see the general situation of the battle.
"Don't worry, those kids are very powerful. Even the goddess Ishtar won't be able to defeat them so quickly." Shiomi said calmly, "Besides, if the situation is really unfavorable, we will take action."
The reason why the battle is fully entrusted to Sakura and the others is that magicians need to hone their skills and improve their experience in battle.
They split up and reunited, and after experiencing the battle at the singularity, they have gradually grown into "warriors" who are familiar with the battlefield.
"That's good..." Bai Ye hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Her servant and assistant Gilgamesh, because of the concept of "negation" created by this singularity, not only is he unable to fight, he can't even leave the tower easily.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to maintain the existence of this singularity unless you leave on your own initiative.
"Then let's continue with the topic just now—" Shiomi said seriously, "On the way here, we have heard from your court magician Meili that the one who is now fighting against the "Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia" you have built is an existence called the "Three Goddesses Alliance."
Bai Ye nodded deeply. "That's right, but at the moment we only know about the goddess Ishtar, and we don't have much information about the other two goddesses."
"But now we know that the other goddess is the goddess of the jungle, who turned the area of Ur in the south into a tropical rainforest." Meili said with regret, "We have lost two servants, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuma Kotaro. After they went to explore that area, they never came back, and their spiritual base reaction has completely disappeared."
"As for the third goddess, we still don't know the details." Bai Ye added.
Judging from the information they provided, the current situation in Uruk is not optimistic.
Before Chaldea and his party arrived here, they had already summoned servants in some way to defend the city and investigate the surrounding situation, and as a result, they lost at least two servants.
At this time, Siduri glanced at Bai Ye and said, "King, new matters are coming up soon. Can we temporarily stop the meeting and make other plans after the goddess Ishtar leaves?"
"But Miss Siduri has to stay here to assist me..." Hakuno looked thoughtful, "Let Archer come over for a while."
Not long after, the Archer mentioned by Hakuno walked into the hall. She was a white-haired female Servant dressed in ancient Japanese style.
Behind her are Sakura and the others who fought off the goddess Ishtar.
According to Ying's description, Ishtar didn't seem to have a strong will to fight. Even after seeing Anna, she realized something on her own, said something harsh, and then left.
"But even if I don't have the will to fight desperately... Goddess, the god-level servants are really insanely strong." Olga Marie sighed helplessly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Now let Archer take you to your rooms to rest." Hakuno smiled bitterly to comfort everyone. "How about arranging the guests' rooms in the side hall of the tower, Gilgamesh?"
"Don't ask me, you can handle such trivial matters yourself." Gilgamesh said casually.
Shirano understood, and she looked at Archer: "Then Archer, I'll leave it to you to take care of the guests. Originally, you were supposed to go to the front line to replace Lancer in defense—"
"Please do not worry about it, King." Archer bowed. "Receiving important allies is also part of supporting the defense of the northern wall. Besides, you have demonstrated enough strength to force the goddess Ishtar to retreat."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the Chaldean group and said, "Then I will take you all to your rooms to rest."
Then, Archer remembered that he forgot to introduce himself: "I am Archer, the Servant in charge of defending Uruk. My real name is Tomoe Gozen."
The girls made noises one after another.
The wife of Kiso Yoshinaka, a famous general of the Genji clan in the late Heian period, is not very famous, but for several girls of Japanese origin, she is still a familiar figure.
So, they said goodbye to Kishinami Hakuno and the others temporarily and left the palace. Then they followed Tomoe Gozen to the side hall on the side of the sacred tower, which was the residence that Hakuno had arranged for the Chaldean group.
Compared to the previous six singularities where they had to sleep in the open air, being able to live in the richest palace of this era in the seventh singularity made Xijian feel that even though the road ahead for repairing the singularity was arduous, at least he could feel a little more at ease for now.
"Archer, from what you said just now, Uruk...The Moon King seems to have summoned more than one Servant?" asked Xijian.
"Real names will suffice, everyone." Tomoe Gozen's tone was gentle and elegant. "Half a year ago, after the Moon King and King Gilgamesh arrived here, they summoned seven Servants to protect Uruk. In addition to me, there are Lord Amakusa Shiro, Lord Fuma Kotaro, Lord Ibaraki Douji, Lord Ushiwakamaru, Lord Musashibo Benkei, Lord Leonidas I, and Ms. Avalon."
"More than half of them are Servants from Japan," said Shiomi.
"Perhaps it's because the Master is the King of the Moon." Tomoe explained the situation, "Only Lord Leonidas I and Lady Avalon were the options suggested by King Gilgamesh, but the latter seemed to have originally wanted Lord Merlin."
"How many servants are left now?" asked Scathach.
Tomoe Gozen's expression turned bitter. "Except for the two you already know, Lord Ushiwakamaru also disappeared in the battle two months ago. Lord Benkei lost his will to fight and left Uruk."
Even though Ushiwakamaru - Minamoto no Yoshitsune - was the enemy who caused the defeat of Tomoe Gozen's husband Kiso Yoshinaka, she still felt sorry for him in the current situation.
"As for Lord Ibaraki Douji, he ran away because he found the job of protecting the city boring." Tomoe Gozen said this, his expression becoming distressed again. "Now the front line will be taken over by Lord Lancer Leonidas I and me, and Ms. Avalon will be in charge of the field investigation."
The girls were placed in a palace, with Shiomi, Morgan and Scathach being the only ones left in the corridor.
Tomoe Gozen obviously wanted to arrange for them to live somewhere else.
"Wait a moment, it's natural for me to live with my husband, and Scathach should live in a more spacious place with those girls." Morgan said with a smile.
"a ha ha ha……"
Tomoe Gozen just laughed awkwardly. Her intuition as an experienced person told her that the relationship between Shiomi and these two women was not simple, and it would be more appropriate for them to live together.
Chapter 8 Meili: Yes, this is what I want to see!
After settling the Chaldean entourage in the side hall of the sacred tower, Tomoe Gozen left first and went to the northern front to replace Leonidas I.
Leaving Shiomi, Morgan and Scathach in the room to contact Chaldea and discuss future strategies.
After all, Kishinami Hakuno had only accepted the arrival of Chaldea, and had not yet explained what they were required to do. If he rashly took action on his own, he would probably not be refuted by the easy-going girl, but it would inevitably disrupt some of the original plans.
"Then let's sort out the current situation." Shiomi sat on the carpet with Morgan and Scathach around the communicator. "First, the Gilgamesh we met was not the real Gilgamesh. The whereabouts of the real Gilgamesh are unknown. Second, the one leading the attack on the Mesopotamian city-states is the 'Three Goddesses Alliance'. Those tens of thousands of monsters should be their subordinates, and that Enkidu should be one of them, and the goddess Ishtar is also one of them..."
"The situation is even more grim than the sixth singularity..." Romani's voice came from the communicator.
Scathach nodded slightly: "If we rush to attack that number of God-era monsters head-on, they will only be exhausted to death in a round-the-clock battle."
"But that wall only prevents the monsters from breaking through, and it is already in danger." Morgan gave his opinion, "It is necessary to upgrade the defense measures of the northern wall according to the situation."
"Upgrade the city walls into a fortress like the sixth singularity?" asked Shiomi.
Morgan nodded: "It's not impossible. This is the Age of Gods. I can obtain magic more easily and transform the original northern wall, thereby reducing the burden on Wufu and Chaldea."
"But then..." Scathach smiled slightly, "you won't be able to leave Uruk, right?"
"After all, this singularity is more complicated. We can't let those children take risks to go out." Morgan just smiled indifferently. "Besides, this city needs someone to stay to assist in the defense. The only three people suitable for going out to investigate and fight are my husband, you and me."
Scathach was still smiling, but her attitude did not hide her seriousness: "Plus, refugees often enter Uruk to seek asylum. I think it won't be long before the Moon King will entrust us with work."
There is no doubt that this time the existing staff must be divided into two parts: field work and clerical work.
The girls, who are mainly magicians, are more suitable to stay in the city, build positions, and defend against monsters and other possible external enemies.
Field work is Shiomi's job.
"It's a reasonable judgment, but if only Shiomi and Lady Scathach are left, their combat effectiveness will be somewhat insufficient."
"Don't worry, I will also participate in the field work. After all, with your arrival, the king can finally start the search for Gilgamesh. Before, it was because I was the only one there that progress in all aspects was very difficult." Meli's voice sounded at the door.
She walked over gracefully, sat down next to the three of them naturally, and joined the discussion.
But what Mary didn't say was that she thought it would be more interesting to go out and investigate with Shiomi.
Although according to current trends, Morgan will choose to stay in Uruk to help improve Uruk's defense.
"That's even more unbelievable." Shiomi said bluntly.
Meili immediately had a tearful expression: "I didn't expect to be despised to this extent, wuwuwu..."
"That's what I'm saying. No matter what, Miss Mary has helped you. There's no need to be so harsh on her." Romani also complained in his tone, completely turning his elbow outward.
"...Romani..." Shiomi wanted to complain, but gave up.
People will lose their minds in front of their idols, but fortunately, as a doctor, Romani's "condition" is not serious.
"But if you think my power is not enough, why don't you summon another Servant yourself?" Meili suddenly stopped crying and restored her usual smile and suggested, "Just like you have done in other singularities."
"Only one?" Romani noticed Meili's wording.
"Yes, there is only one Servant left." Meili said, "In the final analysis, this time we seven Servants used the Great Cup of Uruk in the Treasury of Gilgamesh to simulate the Holy Grail War ritual, but the purpose is to repair the singularity. It is a form between the Heroic Spirit Summoning and the Holy Grail War."
She explained the situation with ease: "Because the Moon King is only a human, the source of magic power after his descent can be achieved by relying on Gilgamesh's treasures and the environment of the Age of Gods. But the land spiritual veins of this singularity have almost reached their limit. You should understand, right?"
Meli's meaning was very simple. In addition to the summoning of the seven servants, lone servants like Anna, the god-level servants of the Three Goddesses Alliance, and the endless stream of magical beasts that had not been killed for half a year, plus the defense line established by Uruk, were all using the spiritual veins of this land.
If Chaldea is allowed to continue summoning servants, the land will become barren due to the loss of spiritual veins, affecting the survival of ordinary people in the city.
Therefore, one Servant is the final limit.
This is not Mary's subjective judgment, but an objective reality.
So who will summon the servant? The choice is self-evident.
