Ritsuka could also see that the battle just now was clearly three versus one, but his side had no advantage at all. He was obviously a comedy type, but he turned out to be very good at it. It was an unexpected contrast.

Merlin also agreed with his opinion. Although he looked funny, the man was actually an incredible servant. However, they still had to rush to Ur first to determine the situation there. This was their main task.

And just as Matthew said, after about twenty minutes of walking, they finally arrived in Ur.

Judging from the size of the city, it is not much different from Uruk. Even Ba Yuqian, who has better eyesight, can already see the people still living here. It seems that the goddess of the jungle has not persecuted the people here.

Merlin briefly explored the surrounding environment, and then led a few people towards the interior.

Before they had gone far, they already met a group of Ur people who came out to fetch water. The uneasiness in their hearts was immediately put down.

As long as the people of Ur are still alive, there will be no problem. The next step is to rescue them.

"Hello, we are from Uruk and came to investigate the situation in Ur on the order of King Gilgamesh."

Ritsuka took the lead in walking out of his own ranks to communicate with the people of Ur. The other party was surprised to see the arrival of Ritsuka and his party, but still received them warmly.

"It's great that everyone is still here. Although we are only here to investigate, when we get back we will have King Gilgamesh organize a large-scale rescue team to come."

Merlin also revealed his plan, but this did not make the people of Ur in front of him rejoice.

Instead, the leader of them bowed to the crowd and declared that no rescue was needed.

They will not leave this Ur, and the monsters will not enter this dense forest. As long as they follow the laws of the forest goddess, this Ur will be absolutely safe.

Chapter 243 Snake God

【Hate/h ...

Ritsuka turned around and looked at Merlin, and both of them could see what the other meant in the other's eyes. Stay here in Ur to see the situation first, there is no need to leave in such a hurry.

Several people also asked about other situations, and Ba Yuqian also asked why the people of Ur were living here and never thought of leaving.

The leading woman immediately showed a look of panic. They could not leave Ur, otherwise they would lose their lives.

This jungle treats both intruders and those who want to escape equally - taking lives equally.

So doing nothing is already the best defense, and everyone understands this concept.

And since the other party is now willing to receive them from Uruk, they naturally have to stay for a day.

At dusk, they met again. Merlin looked at Ritsuka and believed that Ritsuka had already discovered what he discovered.

In this case, it would be better to ask Ur what's going on tomorrow morning. It would be better if the jungle goddess can be stimulated to appear.

The peaceful night passed like this, and in the early morning of the next day, Merlin summoned all the people who were still alive in Ur.

He stood in the crowd and shouted to everyone: "I heard that you don't need support. We can also understand that you can survive without resistance.

After all, this is a common tactic used by people who give up on themselves, so...how many people are chosen to sacrifice? "

His last words made the bodies of all Ur citizens present tremble. Merlin's words tore away the thin fig leaf in everyone's hearts and brought naked fear back to their minds.

"About one a day? I saw the population of Ur before I came here, and after a rough comparison, I came up with the answer. The number of men here is really too small."

This is an obvious fact. The largest number of Urs are women, followed by the elderly, and finally children.

Although no battle has come to this Ur, it is unnatural that the number of adult males is so rare.

The best understanding is this, God asked for sacrifice, and Ur satisfied God.

"There's nothing we can do about it! In order to survive in Ur, living sacrifices are necessary!"

"Everyone makes selections based on acceptance and recognition."

"Just send one person to the Temple of Eridu a day! That devil will be satisfied!"

Such explanations arise one after another among the crowd. In order to survive, sacrifices are always needed, especially in such a collapsed era.

Who would want to do such a thing if there was a better choice.

"Is this your choice..." Ritsuka murmured with a complicated expression. How could things have developed to this point?

Does the Jungle Goddess take pleasure in living sacrifices? It seems that the old man was right, someone who has such joy in his heart must not agree with it.

Matthew couldn't agree with this method. She shouted to the crowd around her: "Is this how you protect yourself!?"

Tomoe Gozen and Kotaro didn't speak. They had both experienced dark and cruel times. But in their hearts, they recognized Ma Xiu who could shout such words. She was pure and qualified to shout like this.

"What do you outsiders know! You have never seen that terrifying goddess, so you can say such stupid things..."

"Even if everyone in Ur comes together, they can't communicate with each other. What else do you want from us?"

"That's basically a monster that lives in the forest, a monster that only knows how to hunt and kill!"

"Human ethics no longer exist in Mesopotamia. This is the only way human beings can survive now."

In this case, let alone gathering intelligence, even communication is very laborious.

Even those who came from Uruk could not help but have a look of disappointment on their faces at this time. How could they go further under such circumstances?

Even they are unable to save the current city of Ur.

"Sorry, it seems that my words caused trouble." Matthew was also very aware that her words had just aroused fear and anger in everyone's hearts, but no one would blame her for the current situation.

Rather, it was appropriate for her to shout such words.

However, at this moment, wild laughter came from the top of the surrounding trees. Everyone looked in the direction of the laughter and saw the strange servant Leopard Man they had encountered in the jungle standing on the top of the tree.

And judging from her excited look, it was obvious that everyone's conversation just now had entered her ears.

"Don't worry about it, nya! The living sacrifices are all still alive. If I kill them, I will be called an old-fashioned! By the way, my favorite food is the heart of a brave man~"

She stood on the top of the tree and looked down at the people below. Because of her arrival, the citizens of Ur had all run back to their homes. To them, the leopard man was the embodiment of fear.

Then she jumped up in front of Ritsuka, turned around casually and continued:

"Now all those people have been dragged to the Temple of Eridu for forced labor! By the way, I like birds, fish, and can eat people! Leopard warriors are here!"

"Although I don't think this guy is the Jungle Goddess, she is obviously related to the Jungle Goddess! Ritsuka, please give the order!"

Tomoe Gozen tightly grasped the naginata and prepared for battle. This time he was determined to capture this strange servant alive!

Ritsuka nodded, and then looked around. The citizens at the scene had dispersed. With Merlin by his side, Mashu would be free to fight. The fight was four on one and their chances were good.

"Kotaro is responsible for the containment, and Anna and Tomoe Gozen are in charge of the front! Mashu! You are responsible for the support, do you understand?"

Ritsuka immediately gave the order, and all four servants rushed out after receiving the order. It just so happens that I'm holding back some evil fire in my heart, so I'll take it out on the Leopard Man!

However, four against one could not suppress the leopard man in front of him. Ritsuka widened his eyes and watched the leopard man igniting golden arrogance and leaping back and forth in the battlefield like a real cheetah.

She swung that ridiculous, indescribable weapon and knocked Mash away with one blow, and then blocked Tomoe Gozen who was swinging his pheasant sword at her.

The battle between the two sides was a complete see-saw. Even Kotaro, who was known for his agility, found it difficult to match the Leopard Man's agility. Merlin could see at this time that the Leopard Man's divinity was probably quite good. This guy was definitely not an ordinary servant.

After another blow to drive back the four servants who were charging towards him, the leopard man was able to stand upright and wipe the sweat from his forehead. It can even be said that she feels most comfortable now as if she had just finished an aerobic exercise.

"I will not allow you to take away the living sacrifice~ Then all my efforts so far will be in vain, and I will be made to cry by Kukul." At this point, she raised the baton He pointed to the crowd and said,

"This is our world, the land of spiral snakes. Human beings who cannot discern the definition of God, leave now!"

Chapter 244 Retreat

[If the fight continues, there will still be a tug of war... The opponent's speed and dexterity are quite high. Our own side lacks followers who can forcibly control or restrict the opponent's ability to move. It’s really not good to go on like this...]

Ritsuka had already made a comparison in his mind based on the previous battle. Now neither side had the means to win the victory with one blow. Delaying it any longer is just a waste of time, and the information collected this time is already pretty good.

He turned around and called Merlin, and Merlin immediately understood what he meant.

Then Ritsuka immediately called everyone to come closer, and Merlin's staff struck the ground at this moment.

The petals floated in the sky, and the pink magic light ball enveloped everyone, and then everyone disappeared into the petals.

"Hoho, have you escaped? Wise judgment, because..." As the leopard man spoke, he raised his head and looked up at the sky. A huge shadow passed over her head, and the roar of the pterosaur resounded through the dense forest.

The real goddess of the jungle stood on top of this huge pterosaur. Out of temporary excitement, she wanted to run out to meet this last master of humanity.

But there is no need to worry, the Goddess of Warcraft is still patient and does not take the initiative to attack. Why should she, the goddess of the Sun and Venus, rush to meet those lovely people?

But the little brother's voice just now was quite pleasant, and he was obviously a man of courage.

By the time Ritsuka and the others reacted, they had already left Ur, and now they were on the road they came from outside the dense forest.

Now that they have come out, they can now return directly to Uruk to report the matter to the king. I hope this is news that pleases King Gilgamesh.

When they returned to the tower, Davian happened to be here too. He came to report to Gilgamesh about the situation on the north wall.

Under Leonidas' training, the soldiers on the north wall have made great progress. Even without Davian, the current military strength on the north wall is enough to deal with Tiamat's group of monsters.

And when Ritsuka and his team reported the incident in Ur to King Gilgamesh, King Gilgamesh punched the armrest of his throne with dissatisfaction, shouting that he wanted to go to something so interesting. Take a look!

What is that leopard man? It feels great to hear it, but it is much more interesting than dealing with these tedious things in this shabby tower!

"King, please be more restrained. What is more important right now is the achievements of Lixiang and the others. After all, this time they came back alive and obtained a lot of information. This is a huge difference from before."

Siduri admonished Gilgamesh to be restrained, and Gilgamesh calmed down in time.

After hearing this, Gilgamesh coughed twice to get the atmosphere back on track. He waved his bold hand and praised:

"Indeed! In any case, this investigation of Ur will be of service to you! Let's put aside the issue of aid to the citizens of Ur and the leopard men for now.

Because this so-called Jungle Goddess and the Warcraft Goddess of the North obviously have completely opposite plans. "

Davian was also thinking about the information that Ritsuka and the others had found out. Leopard Man, Kukul, Living Sacrifice, Land of Snakes...are they real or fake, right?

Can the opponent this time exceed the standard to such an extent? Isn't this a deity with the same specifications as that unknown so-called Warcraft Goddess in the north?

"Oh? It seems that you have thought of something, Davian. You can say what you are thinking, no matter how exaggerated it is, I can accept it now."

Gilgamesh saw Davian's expression and knew that he must have something to think about. In this case, he might as well speak up and let everyone work together to give advice.

Davian nodded and then took a step forward and said to everyone: "Everyone, South America once had the custom of living sacrifices. Snakes in South America can be related to the highest-level Quetzalcoatl. In addition, what the Leopard Man said Kukul…

I think the true form of the Jungle Goddess is probably Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl, which evolved from it. "

【What! Is it actually Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl? Isn’t that the main god level of South America? Could he be such a formidable opponent? 】

Doctor Roman was already in the control room, scratching his hair and hysterical. What kind of scene is this? There is Tiamat in the north, and there is a pillar of the highest god in South America in the jungle. What kind of hell mode is Uruk like?

"But I remember Quetzalcoatl is a god who opposes living sacrifices..."

Matthew suddenly said this again. Dr. Roman had popularized a lot of knowledge about the world to her before, so Davian just said this and she immediately had relevant knowledge.

So Davian told another aspect for them: "But the Leopard Man said that all the living sacrifices were not dead, they were just forced labor in the Eridu Temple.

And that leopard man is also very interesting. I think it should be the branch spirit of [Wind of Impermanence] Tezcatlipoca, but this time it was summoned by Quetzalcoatl and came in a chain. "

[Tezcatlipoca? The God of the Underworld, one of the highest divinities in South America, the Wind of Impermanence... I was suddenly glad that the only one who came this time was the Leopard Man. If another main god comes, we will really not be able to deal with it. 】

Roman's scalp was almost scratched. He thought it was in hell mode before, but now he feels that Uruk can really be reopened...

Then Davian thought of the three words of advice the old man gave Ritsuka before.

He always thought that pleasure corresponded to Ishtar, and pain corresponded to the goddess of the jungle.

But looking at the current situation, something is obviously wrong. The jungle side obviously has nothing to do with pain.

Arresting people but not taking their lives, and even forcing them to work to actively deal with future situations, there must be something they don't know about...

As for confronting Ishtar with someone who is in pain...

Forget it, Davian felt that this was really stupid. Ishtar's behavior had nothing to do with being in pain.

Gilgamesh closed his eyes at this moment, but then he opened them helplessly and said at the same time:

"Damn it, in the current situation where human reason is incinerated, it is impossible to see the specific situation of the so-called South America. As expected, we still have to see the true form of the Jungle Goddess before we can make a judgment..."

Then he asked Merlin: "Merlin, was it possible to directly see the Temple of Eridu in Ur before? Is the Ax of Marduk still alive?"

"No, the sea of ​​trees is very dense. You can't see the real situation of Eridu from Ur, but I did feel a strong aura. It can be considered that the ax is still alive."

Gilgamesh nodded and agreed with Merlin's words, but this also meant that if they wanted to get the ax, they had to conquer the dense forest and the gods in it.

This is no simple matter, after all, he is the supreme god of South America.

"Anyway, it's been a long journey. Fujimaru Ritsuka! I'll inform you of new missions later, so please step back and have a good rest now! Merlin, you stay here!"

He asked the others to rest but left Merlin behind because he obviously had something else to discuss, and Ritsuka and the others also left knowingly.

Continuing to stay will only prevent Gilgamesh and the others from communicating smoothly, so it is better to leave now.
