I'm tied to Athena.

"I didn't expect there's such a polite miko here in Ishtar."

Li Yun also briefly introduced himself, and then the one sitting high on the throne spoke, "Okay, that's all for the self-introductions. Xidulli, you step aside first."

He propped his head up with one hand, "I already know your situation. Although I am very busy right now, very, very busy, you are qualified to ask me to put aside my affairs and have a conversation with you."

"So, guests from other places, what do you want to talk to me about?"

It's not what I want to say to you, but what you want to say to me. The ancient king already knew that they had something to ask him.

"Alliance." Li Yun looked directly at the oldest king and told him the purpose of his visit.

"Huh...alliance?" The oldest king laughed, "What do you mean by alliance?"

"All!" The black-haired boy said decisively, "A full-scale alliance between Kuta City, Ur City, Eri City, and Uruk City!"

The young man's words made the king sit up straight.

"Kuta City is located inside the northern wall, almost in a straight line with Uruk, and the journey is not too far. Even a large-scale march would only take two days, so it is entirely possible to fight together."

"Besides, there is nothing that needs to be prepared in Kuta City right now. We can hand over the manpower and materials to Uruk and let Uruk make the best use of them."

"In addition, the defense line of the north wall does not include the fir forest. Once the north wall is successfully built, the fir forest will become the world of magic beasts. And Uruk's lack of wood has not changed. In other words, Uruk will fall into a situation of insufficient resources."

"But now, the southern cities of Ur and Eridu are surrounded by dense forests, which can fully support Uruk's timber needs."

"Most importantly, the cities of Ur and Eri can train soldiers to ensure the number of soldiers on the front line!"

"Now, all the cities in the Mesopotamian Plain know about the monster's attack, but even if other cities know about it, they don't plan to form an alliance with Uruk. They have always believed that they can resist the monster's attack. In other words, Uruk passively chose to fight alone."

"..." The ancient and proud king looked at the black-haired boy in front of him. For a moment, only each other's figure remained in their pupils.

Li Yun had thought of the alliance with Uruk on the way here. In the seventh singularity where they were not present, Uruk fought almost alone. Although other cities also provided help, they did not mobilize in full force, resulting in the almost complete destruction of the northern cities. Half a year later, they were of no use at all and were even a drag.

If the cities within the north wall were connected together in advance and the south was completely united, the defense of the north wall would be greatly enhanced and more strength could be conserved in advance.

The most important thing is that with more people, Gilgamesh will have more time to prepare for the final battle with Tiamat.

As for whether Gilgamesh will refuse, there is no need to worry about that.

Uruk is now in the preparation stage and has a great demand for resources such as food, materials, and manpower. It is obviously too difficult for Uruk alone to complete the best defense line in Gilgamesh's mind.

"Good suggestion...I won't ask you stupid questions about whether you can represent these three cities." His red eyes swept over the goddesses beside him. In fact, just by looking at the attitudes of the goddesses, he could tell - they were led by Li Yun.

"So, I agree with your proposal."

"Then let's get started without further ado." The alliance was officially established the moment Gilgamesh agreed, and after the alliance was established, Gilgamesh immediately began his work.

"As you just heard, the North Wall is short of manpower. You need to send some people from the three cities to the North Wall. In addition, I will send people to your cities to teach you the planting technology to ensure your food reserves."

"Also, please send more wood from Ur to Uruk. The planning process and materials here are a bit insufficient. In order to ensure the rapid operation of the city, it is also very necessary to re-plan the city. I will also re-divide your city according to your situation."

"..." Gilgamesh began to handle affairs. Uruk, which had originally stopped, continued to operate again, and the other three cities also followed suit.

Perhaps Gilgamesh's attitude infected Li Yun, he nodded to Gilgamesh and then left the temple.

"Then let's start making preparations according to what Gilgamesh said." After leaving the sacred tower, Li Yun said to Quetzal, "Ur and Eridu are in your care."

"Although I am a little reluctant to let my sister leave Liyun, but since Liyun said so, I will hold you!" The sun goddess summoned a pterosaur and flew away from Uruk, while the others headed for Kuta City.

but.....

"Lord Ishtar, your temple has been cleaned." Siduri's words made Ishtar a little embarrassed.

She is the patron saint of Uruk, so it is natural for her to stay in Uruk. But she looked at Li Yun... No, it was not possible. It was so hard to get Quetzal to leave him. If she stayed, wouldn't all her favorability be taken away by Athena and Elly?

Chapter 187: The North Wall is Completed!

Between the city and Liyun, Ishtar took less than a second to make a decision.

She still chose to act with Li Yun.

The reason is very simple - 'It is not me who is allied with Gilgamesh, but Liyun. And I am an ally of Liyun, not of Uruk, so I have not forgiven Uruk yet, and I cannot stay in Uruk.'

It is probably a replica of the saying in the Roman Empire, "A servant's servant is not my servant."

My allies' allies are not my allies.

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent." On the way to Kuta City, Athena looked at Ishtar with some surprise.

"What do you mean by eloquent? Am I wrong?" Ishtar hummed as she sat on the sky boat, "This is the chivalry of ancient Rome. Hmm, I am worthy of it!"

"But is it really okay for her to follow us like this? As a city god, if she stays in Uruk, there will definitely be many people coming to worship her." Anna has not forgotten how this goddess was won over by Li Yun to become a member of their side.

Gems were an irresistible temptation to her.

"Don't underestimate me. Even I know that the gems are not everything. Besides, he hasn't given me the gems he promised to give me yet. If he doesn't give them to me, I will never leave."

"Liyun, give her the gem." Anna pulled Liyun's sleeve and said something that made Ishtar very dissatisfied.

"Anna, I didn't do anything to you, how could you do this to me? Aren't we in the same group?"

"There is more than one goddess with evil intentions. Besides Quetzal, there is also you."

“.....Um...” Goddess Venus blushed all of a sudden and stammered, not knowing what to say.

The group returned to Kuta city chatting and laughing.

After returning to the underworld, Elly learned about this and directly sent down the will of God to her chief priest. The Mesopotamian plain is still controlled by God. Even Uruk, ruled by Gilgamesh, the king who disobeyed God, has not completely eliminated the influence of God, let alone other cities.

In the conversations with other cities, the chief priest of each city came forward, which shows how strong the control of the gods is over the cities now.

After receiving the divine will, the city of Kuta began to fully cooperate with Uruk's work. The original guards of Kuta City were transferred to the north wall, and the original planting technology was slowly improved under the experts sent by Uruk.

The most important thing is that Ai Lei pushed Li Yun out of the spotlight and asked Li Yun to handle all affairs of Kuta City on her behalf.

The underworld is not busy right now, because it has to prepare for the final battle with Tiamat, so planting flowers and the like can be put aside for later. After not joining the alliance of the three goddesses, Elly does not need to concentrate on harvesting human souls, so naturally there is no need to build a gun prison for them.

She had finally relaxed and now she refused to continue dealing with human affairs. It would be better for her to stay in the underworld and be a full-time housewife.

However, in order to reward Li Yun for his hard work, Ai Lei would occasionally gather on the surface to accompany him.

In this way, a month passed in Mesopotamia...

During this month, people from the four cities worked hard and the magnificent North Wall was successfully built thanks to their efforts!

On the day when the north wall was completed, Li Yun brought Athena, Anna and Ishtar to the north wall.

The completely completed North Wall is even more majestic than the unfinished North Wall. Just by standing on it, Li Yun can feel the greatness of mankind - the huge wall that divides the entire plain embodies the hard work and efforts of people in the entire mythological era!

It has only been two months since Gilgamesh decided to build the north wall, and only a thousand people have accomplished such a great feat within these two months!

In modern times with advanced science and technology, this kind of thing may not be completed in two years, let alone two months!

These are the people of the Age of Gods, these are the ancient humans who survived the wrath of the gods and the attacks of monsters!

"Is the Warcraft front finally completed..." Standing on the city wall, looking at the vast plain on the other side of the city wall. Next, from the end of the endless plain, there will be one terrifying Warcraft after another. These Warcraft will attack and plunder day and night, and what the people of the Age of Gods have to do is to stop them here!

"Lord Li Yun, long time no see." When Li Yun was marveling at the tenacious spirit of ancient humans, a girl in very revealing clothes walked up to him.

The girl's upper body was wearing armor that only covered her breasts, and her lower body was wearing a skirt armor that only covered her private parts. She was a very exposed warrior.

In her words, wearing too much can easily affect your performance.

Behind the girl is a monk carrying many weapons.

Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei, these are the names of the two people that appeared in front of Li Yun.

They are all servants summoned by Gilgamesh to deal with the Goddess of Warcraft... Speaking of this, Li Yun counted carefully again. Gilgamesh said that he summoned seven servants, but Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Fuma Kotaro, Merlin, Ento, Tomoe Gozen and Ibaraki Douji, there should be eight servants.

Shouldn't it be common sense that when you summon seven servants, eight servants appear?

During this month, Li Yun has established good relationships with the seven servants summoned by Gilgamesh...Why not eight? The main reason is that Ibaraki Douji ran away because he thought the Warcraft front was not fun.

Yes, he ran away and went to some other place, where he became the king of a mountain and lived a carefree life as the ghost king.

Although Li Yun also thought about stopping Ibaraki Douji, after all, this guy is Ibaraki Douji, and his fighting ability must be high. If he can be won over, he will be another powerful fighter.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yun is not very good at dealing with this kind of ghost, so... forget it.

"Long time no see, Ushiwakamaru." Li Yun also greeted them with a smile, "From now on, you will stay here to guard the defense line."

"Ah, according to the king, the army of monsters will attack soon, and things will get busy here. I guess we won't be able to meet for a while." Ushiwakamaru said with some regret, "I wanted to have a good competition with Lord Liyun to see who can kill more monsters."

"If it's just a competition, you can come to me anytime, even now."

"Really?" After getting permission, Ushiwakamaru immediately grasped the long sword at his waist, as if he really intended to fight with Li Yun here.

"Lord Ushiwakamaru, once you get excited, you will have no scruples. The North Wall has just been built, so let's talk about this later." However, the excited Ushiwakamaru was stopped by his retainer Musashibo Benkei behind him.

Chapter 188 Liyun and Gilgamesh

After the Warcraft front was completed, Gilgamesh held a banquet in a very humane manner, and the venue was inside the north wall.

In order to ensure the delivery of weapons, armor and materials, a small downtown area was built inside the north wall. This downtown area was where the banquet was held.

The soldiers who participated in the construction of the north wall cheered loudly at the banquet, and Li Yun and his companions also enjoyed this rare happy atmosphere.

but.....

"Well, the situation here has been dealt with almost completely. Also, let the people at the astronomical observatory continue their work. The divination work cannot be left behind."

"By the way, send someone to deliver rewards to the people in the planting department. The harvesting time is getting more and more accurate now, but it is not enough. We need to work harder and do better before the monsters attack!"

"We must hurry up with the chariots and other equipment. They are necessary tools to connect the two cities. If we can reach the other city one second faster, we can provide assistance one second faster and reduce casualties!"

"Also, tell that leopard guy to follow the plan I made for the soldiers' training. Don't let her teach the soldiers any useless skills like hunting and wrestling!"

Gilgamesh worked so hard even at the banquet, and Siduri, who had always been by his side, carefully recorded everything he told her to do.

He is really worthy of being called Jill Jiao Yulu. Li Yun finally understood why a guy like Jin Shanshan could be exhausted to death.

When Gudako and the others came to this era, it was half a year after the Warcraft battle began, which means that Warcraft had been attacking for half a year. In the period before Warcraft's attack, Gilgamesh began to work so hard. In other words, he had been working at such a high intensity for seven or eight months.

Just imagine taking a few minutes' rest every day for seven or eight months, and then starting to work hard again... Even a Servant wouldn't be able to withstand this.

"It's a banquet now after all, how about we do something that should be done at a banquet?" Li Yun sat down next to Gilgamesh with a wine glass and forcefully interrupted his conversation with Siduri.

"Besides, even if you can handle it, Siduri may not be able to withstand it. How about giving your chief priest a holiday?"

"That's right. Siduri is my chief priestess. If you tire her out, I won't let you go, Jinpika!" Ishtar also came over and grabbed Siduri's arm. "Speaking of which, Siduri is my chief priestess. I don't need your permission to find her."

"Siduri is mine tonight!"

"Eh, eh.... Lady Ishtar? Where do you want to take me?"

"Of course I'm having fun. What's the point of working with that boring guy all day long?"

As the voices became farther and farther away, Siduri was taken away by Ishtar, apparently to join other people's games.

"Oh, forget it..." Gilgamesh put down the slate in his hand as he watched Siduri leave. "Then what do you want from me?"

"Nothing, just letting you rest for a while. Although I am also very anxious about the Warcraft battle, I also know that health is the key. The Warcraft battle hasn't started yet, how about relaxing for a while?"

"Don't be silly. This is because the Warcraft battle has not started yet. I have to work hard. Once the battle starts, the battle will become the most important thing, and the internal affairs will have to be handled by others. If I don't handle it now, what if they can't keep up with the consumption of the battle?"

"From your tone, it sounds like we'll have to work even harder once the war starts?"

"Of course! Once the war begins, I must pay close attention to the actions of the monsters and the consumption on the front lines. Humans cannot match the monsters in terms of combat power, but they are smarter than monsters. So if humans want to gain an advantage, they must have intelligence, and of course the more up-to-date the intelligence, the better."

"You are worthy of being a king." Li Yun sighed. This is Gilgamesh who returned from the underworld and sealed the Sword of Separation. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a good public servant.

"But... well, indeed, what you said makes sense. A banquet should be held in a banquet-like manner. It is because I did not know how to read your expressions and ruined your fun." But then the king laughed again, "I will drink three cups as punishment."

After drinking the wine, Gilgamesh looked at the banquet full of joy and said, "Liyun, what do you think of my subjects?"

"Very good." The black-haired boy pursed his lips and then smiled brightly. "Whether it's the people here or the people in Uruk, they are not afraid at all. They only have expectations for the future, not fear of death. These are the best people."

"That's right. They all chose to follow me even though they knew they would fail. They are my subjects, the humans of the Age of Gods!"

"A mere natural disaster of magical beasts cannot make the people of our Age of Gods surrender!"

Gilgamesh paused, then continued, "How about you tell me your story? In order to preserve enough strength, I rarely use my clairvoyance now. As an ally, if I don't even know your story, it would be a great loss to my dignity."

"Although I think this kind of thing has nothing to do with majesty, but...it's rare that you want to understand someone, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Li Yun paused and started from the part about the dungeon.

His encounter, contact, reconciliation, and heart-to-heart with Athena, and then his encounter and contact with Elle... From the dungeon to now, what Li Yun remembers most clearly is not his adventurous experiences, but the time he spent with them.

"Well, a very heartwarming topic. I thought you would tell me some stories about battles or adventures." Gilgamesh looked at him with some surprise.

"There's nothing to say. I'm still too immature, and I need them to worry about a lot of things for me. In my story... no, in our story, they are the key to getting me to this point." Li Yun smiled gently. No matter in life or in battle, they silently supported and encouraged him. It was because of them that he could get here.

"To belittle yourself too much is to be too proud. Although I didn't hear you say anything else, even with the support of the goddesses, you can't get here if you don't make up your mind. This king has never misjudged a person, so you can hold your head high and be proud of yourself."

“It’s really rare that King Gilgamesh would support one person.
