My mother's love song

Rhodes swallowed and fell into thought.

The number of Lahms who attacked Uruk was 40,000, which is four times the number in the FGO game.

Tsk tsk tsk, the number of enemies is really...

Too.little.

after all……

Our Warcraft Queen, Anna, can command over 200,000 Warcraft.

……

……

……

The city of Ur.

Because the city was located south of Uruk and the North Wall, it was spared from the invasion of monsters for half a year.

Today, it has been ravaged by Rahmu first because of its geographical location close to the Persian Gulf.

"vbgany! vbgany!kakwgkwgkwgkwg!"

While making a creepy laugh, Lahmu charged into the city at a strange pace that did not belong to a living creature.

“Eh, eh…! What is that, what is that, ahhhh!”

"Gun and bow are useless! They can't penetrate the monster's body! Isn't this stronger than the demon beast?"

Whether it was a strong warrior or a weak ordinary person, they were all vulnerable in front of Lahmu.

The black monsters slaughtered the citizens of the neighborhood, piercing or tearing humans apart with their claws.

"Eating humans...?... No, that's not right... They are... reshaping humans... Haha, how could that happen? It would be better to be eaten or killed than to become like that!"

Just like in a zombie movie, any human killed by Lahmu will immediately turn into Lahmu's appearance after falling down.

Screams continued to be heard in the city.

“Everyone, run outside…! Run, run…! Quickly, run ...

"Leave this to us! Escape to Uruk, quickly!"

Fortunately, most of the people in Ur were sent as captives to the Goddess of the Forest, so there were not many people left.

The people in the city quickly organized themselves and began to flee, with young men taking up arms and covering their retreat.

The Rahmu who poured into the city pounced upon these people.

Just when one of the men was about to be killed by the monster, a figure dropped from the sky, stepped on Lahmu's back, and pressed him heavily into the sinking ground.

"Eh? Ah, ah... who are you?"

"...I don't have a name."

The man stabbed the ancient naginata in his hand and pierced through Lahmu's head.

“I am just a man who killed, killed, and killed all the monsters in the wilderness, and even forgot the human language and eventually turned into a berserker. Yet you gave me food and shelter.

This is my return gift. Please flee quickly, these monsters are my prey."

The man who appeared there, wielding a naginata and fighting against multiple Lahmu, was one of the seven knights summoned by Gilgamesh, Lancer Musashibo Benkei.

The man escaped from the Uruk army after the Gorgon attacked the North Wall and killed his lord Ushiwakamaru.

It is impossible for Musashibo Benkei, a famous general in the Heian period who was known for his loyalty and bravery, to escape after his master was killed.

Because he was not Benkei from the beginning.

The man's real name is Hitachibo Kaison.

An immortal who once served Minamoto no Yoshitsune together with Benkei, and who survived for hundreds of years after the death of his master and comrade.

Now he has transformed into Niou [Benkei], and he is guarding the people of Ur alone.

"Very good, that's how it should be! For a man who has fallen into the animal realm, this kind of hell is suitable!

I am now a walking corpse! I can neither let go of my worries and attachments, nor can I reach the realm of Musashibo!

No matter how he practices magic or immerses himself in samadhi, it is meaningless! This man's nature has never changed at all!

"Huhaha, huhahahahahaha...! Ugly, equally ugly monsters! If you can kill an immature guy like me, come and try it!"

After killing more than ten Lahmu, Haizun's body was already stained with blood.

"What's the matter? What's the matter, you little soldiers! Why are you retreating? Has the cauldron of hell been opened?"

In response to Haizun's provocation, a passage was separated from the large group of Lahmu that surrounded him.

From there, a man's very familiar voice was heard.

"You are so brave, Benkei. The coward back then can really roar now.

Is the blood flowing a little smoother? Or is the original frivolous nature exposed again? Either way, it is very irritating. "

"Well, who are you? How dare you pretend to be familiar with me?"

Hai Zun shouted in a stern voice, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he was shocked.

“How is it possible, you…you are…!?”

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me anymore?"

Standing between Lahmu, the woman wrapped in black raised the corner of her mouth.

It’s not the white Ushiwakamaru, nor is it the black Ushiwakamaru.

The person who appeared before Hitachibo Kaizun was the strongest general in Japanese history, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the King of Chana.

……

……

……

Three hours after Tiamat awoke, the first wave of Lahmu arrived at the outskirts of Uruk.

Although the awakening of the Mother Goddess was a sudden event, fortunately Rhodes had informed Gilgamesh of the existence of the beast in advance, so this time Uruk was able to fight against Lahmu in a much better state than in the original story.

Gilgamesh instructed the craftsmen and soldiers in advance to set up 360 cannons and the divine seal [Dingir] in the city of Uruk overnight.

Long before Lahmu entered the outskirts of Uruk, the soldiers were already ready at the artillery position.

When the king gave permission to shoot, the soldiers used the lapis lazuli in the king's treasury as fuel and the seal of divine power to launch a fierce artillery attack on Lahmu's army outside the city.

In the daytime, the golden magic shells streaked across the blue sky like meteors.

“Chichi, chichi, chichi!?”

The bombardment came down like a golden rainstorm, and nearly a hundred ferocious Lahms were turned into powder in the explosion and sank into the ground.

"Wow, so impressive! Uruk still has this much firepower!"

Mashu stood in front of the observation deck of the sacred tower, looking at the ravaged horde of monsters.

She and Ritsuka Fujimaru arrived in Uruk on Quetzalcoatl's pterosaurs before Lahmu's attack and were taking a short rest.

Ritsuka turned to Gilgamesh and asked, "The Gorgon's attack on the north wall has been going on for half a year, but the king has not used these artillery batteries. Could it be that..."

“Ahh… In the center of Eri City stands a huge and majestic stone pillar, which records an ancient prophecy about “dragons and cities”.

"When the sky is covered with a halo, the land of Mesopotamia will return to its origin..." That's what it says.

Well. Until that kid Rhodes said the name of Tiamat, I didn't connect the prophecy with the current situation. "

Gilgamesh said calmly.

“Having said that, I did foresee the day of Uruk’s collapse from the beginning, so I have been conserving my energy and strength until today.

And now is the final battle in which we can squander our wealth without reservation!"

The king was nervously watching the battle outside Uruk when he suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, since you guys are free anyway, tell me about the battle in the Blood Temple.

Tell me how that Mellie guy died?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru explains the battle in the Blood Temple to Gilgamesh.

"…What? Is there such a thing?

That guy Rhode...actually chopped off Anna's head and put it on Gorgon's neck! ?

Hahahahahahahaha!!! Still the same whimsical guy as always!"

"That... King."

After looking around the hall, Mashu finally realized the sense of disharmony that had existed in her chest since she entered the tower.

She swallowed nervously and asked, "Where's Miss Siduri?"

……

……

……

Under the continuous bombardment of 360 divine seals, even Lahmu, who was far stronger than the Warcraft, found it difficult to withstand it.

Not to mention invading the urban area directly like in the original film, they couldn't even get close to the city gate and were blasted into black mud and sand in the wilderness.

However, the number of Lahmu that emerged from the Persian Gulf was too alarming.

The number of the first batch that arrived alone exceeded five thousand. Even with the strongest firepower, it was impossible to completely wipe out the enemy.

The Lahms, unable to get close to the city, split up several troops and began searching the outskirts of Uruk for humans who had not had time to escape back to the city.

"This way! Hurry and enter the city of Uruk. The king has issued an order to close the city gates before dark!"

Siduri left the ziggurat and is now directing the citizens' retreat outside the city.

The Rahmu who survived the bombardment soon spotted her and the citizens in the suburbs and surrounded them.

"wftckydrgojpsukbdrgovkhxdrgovkhx!"

After the mocking Rahmu surrounded the crowd, Siduri walked outside the crowd.

"I am the chief priest of Uruk, the second most senior person in the city after the king."

Siduri tightened her legs which were shaking uncontrollably and spoke to the monsters.

According to the analytical intelligence provided by Romani to Uruk, the monster named Lahmu is an intelligent creature.

They can communicate.

Lahmu is made of mud from the Age of Gods and does not exist in the tree of life systems to date.

There is no distinction between male and female, and they only rely on the power of the Mother Goddess of Creation to assimilate humans to complete their self-reproduction.

Based on observations of its internal structure, Chaldea concluded that Lahmu was still a juvenile.

From the perspectives of his combat power surpassing that of monsters and comparable to that of gods, and the fact that he does not need to eat or reproduce, Lahmu can be called a "complete creature."

Since it is such a superior and powerful creature, it must also have corresponding reserve and pride.

So Siduri said this.

“You can take me away, but... please let these citizens go.

I will obey your management, and you can use me to negotiate and make demands to the King of Uruk."

Siduri decided to pretend to surrender first, and then commit suicide when the citizens were safe while Rahmu and others were not paying attention.

After a chattering among the Rahmu, they smiled hungrily and made way for the people.

"We're saved! Thank you, Chief Priest!"

Upon seeing this, the citizens immediately fled towards Uruk.

The city gate was right in front of them, and people's eyes, which had been shrouded in fear, finally shone with peace of mind and hope again.

The next moment, Siduri realized her naivety.

Several Rahmugao laughed and began to run, catching up with the fleeing citizens and piercing them from behind.

Screams echoed in the wilderness.
