In the distance, Princess Sissila couldn't help but cry out in alarm. She looked very anxious. She was very worried about Metatro's safety, and at the same time, she secretly blamed this brave warrior for being so reckless. He simply wanted to be in the limelight without caring about his life.
Medanzo didn't show the slightest trace of fear. Amidst the battle cries of the crowd, an ethereal song was suddenly heard. It was sung in a language that no one could understand, but it was indescribably beautiful. Dozens of galloping horses suddenly knelt on the ground, and the knights were caught off their horses. Wight, who was flying in the air, shouted, "This is a sonic phantom attack! There are assassins in the north!" The mages chanted in unison. Prayers dispelled the influence of the song, and many warriors came back to their senses. Just now, some of them had dropped their weapons when they heard the song. The battle formation of the palace guards was a little chaotic. Only the masters remained clear-headed. Medanzo had already landed in the distance. He stood there with his golden spear in hand. Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in the forest in the north.
It was clearly a mountain, but it seemed to have turned into a sea. A blue wave was pouring down, and there were three people standing on the top of the wave. No, it should be two people and an upright monster. The monster had the head of a fish and the body of a human. It swung its tail rapidly to stimulate the wave. Behind it stood two supreme mages with staffs in their hands. They were Goliath and his student Walter. As for the 'monster', it was naturally Silvia's summoned beast, Rulio. The three of them had actually come, and they had even formed a small battle formation.
Seeing the wave rushing towards them from afar, many warriors tried to hide in fear. At this moment, they heard a buzzing sound from the staffs, and the phantoms in their souls were broken. It turned out that everything was just an illusion. But the three of them had already appeared on a steep slope in the north. They were very fast, and they had come from the deep forest. As soon as Sinach's hunt ended, the guards in the mountains naturally retreated. But the three of them immediately rushed out.
As soon as the illusion of the waves broke, Goliath and Walter raised their staffs at the same time. Countless spiraling wind blades shot out, diverting the rain of arrows. Rulio, on the other hand, brandished a serrated long sword, and a transparent blade aura surged towards the Assyrian Imperial Guards like a flying wave.
The two supreme warriors swung their swords at the same time, and the arc of light cut through the transparent sawtooth blade. The imperial guards pulled out their swords. Their blades were engraved with flowery script. Amidst the chanting of the Heavenly Officials, they formed a formation of swords that looked like a well. It was as if they were an impenetrable fortress.
The dazzling appearance of Medanzo and the sneak attack of Goliath and the other two completely attracted everyone's attention. At this time, Yi Fei shouted, "Watch out to the south!"
At this time, an assassin appeared silently from a third direction. Just as Rulio swung his serrated sword, a lonely figure suddenly appeared from the south of the hunting ground. He was wearing a coarse linen robe and had worn boots. He held a warrior's longbow in his hand and carried a quiver of arrows on his back. He nocked an arrow and shot it from a distance.
The arrow was silent, as if it could pierce through space. It whistled when it got close. The guards behind Sinach were caught off guard, and the shockwave caused by the arrow sent them tumbling. Then, there was a loud bang, and a white light rushed out of the void, shattering the arrow. The magic formation formed by the Heavenly Officials had neutralized the arrow's attack.
Then the white light burst out in succession, making rhythmic banging sounds. Gilgamesh did not just shoot one arrow, but steadily moved forward and shot a series of arrows. He strode on the grassland, not too fast or too slow, leaving a line or two of deep footprints behind him. Medanzo was the first to charge, followed by Golier and Gilgamesh, one in the open and one in the dark, from the north and south. When Gilgamesh shot a series of arrows, Medanzo waved his golden spear and rushed into the battle formation again, while Rulio did not stop once he swung his sword.
The fierce battle had already begun. Powerful assassins appeared from three directions at the same time, but the guards did not panic under the restraint of Sinach. Two hundred imperial guards, four supreme warriors, three supreme mages, and a group of court mages seemed to form an impregnable battle fortress in the wilderness. They did not disperse to launch a counterattack, but advanced in the direction of Medanzo.
Two supreme mages prayed for the warriors in the battle formation, and the weapons used by the imperial guards were all blessed with magic. The light connected together, like a moving, murderous wall. And the great formation of mages commanded by Faust firmly guarded the battlefield, making up for every flaw in the defense, and could also launch a counterattack.
The most magnificent battle scene appeared on Medanzo's side on the west side. The attack of the Key of Destiny in his hand was beyond people's understanding and could not be diverted at all. It was like the test of fate, and in a head-on battle, it could only be resisted head-on. The golden light was like a dazzling bolt of lightning that slashed down from all directions, but he was fighting and retreating.
Because the opponent's battle formation was moving rapidly in his direction, Medanzo could never resist it alone. At most, he could only restrain the attack while retreating. If there were no other people on either side to help, Medanzo would have been trapped by the enemy at this moment and would not have been able to escape even if he had wings.
The fiercest battle took place on the north side. Rulio's blade was almost transparent, and with a wave of power, it was far less magnificent than the golden light of Medanzo's spear.
But behind him was Goliath and Walter, who were operating magic to protect him from the counterattack while increasing the power of his attacks. The imperial guards' battle formation on this side burst out a series of flashes from time to time, creating a state of intense anxiety.
The calmest battle took place on Gilgamesh's side in the south. He simply walked over from afar, continuously shooting arrows. Every time he got closer, the power of his arrows would increase by a fraction as he silently shot them out. Only when they reached the front of the battle formation did they let out a whistling sound, and were constantly smashed by the magic protection and the light of various swords, leaving only bursts of energy shock waves.
Princess Sissila finally saw Gilgamesh. His appearance was so simple, and he kept shooting plain arrow after plain arrow at the enemy. Sissila felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. She could no longer hear the sounds of the fierce battle, and could only stare blankly at Gilgamesh approaching from afar. She opened her mouth to shout something, but her throat seemed to be blocked.
In the ambush of three fronts, Medanzo's side was clearly at a disadvantage, while Rulio's side was evenly matched. Only Gilgamesh was advancing step by step. But the guards on Sinach's side had yet to display their greatest fighting strength. Faust had commanded the court guards to deploy a magic formation, only to stabilize the situation and protect His Majesty. Sinach himself had drawn his sword, the blade faintly emitting a blood-red light, but he had yet to make a move.
Flying Bull Shenyi leaned against the carriage, staring at the approaching Gilgamesh, his pupils gradually contracting. In the distant camp, Cripps had already led three hundred imperial guards towards them on horseback. Sinach used a magic signal to order them to outflank Goliath and Walter. It seemed that the stalemate would soon be reversed. If these assassins did not hurry up and flee, they would not be able to escape.
To succeed in an assassination, the most important thing was to succeed in a sneak attack. If one failed, they would have to flee a thousand miles away. Facing a battle formation head-on like this was already a failure for the assassins. Sinach gripped his sword and sneered. He was thinking about which assassin to behead first.
Yi Li did not care about the outcome of the battle, nor did she care whether the assassins would succeed in assassinating Sinach. She only watched Gilgamesh's movements. There were only twelve arrows in Gilgamesh's quiver. Based on his shooting speed and distance, he would run out of arrows in less than a third of the way.
When the last arrow in Gilgamesh's hand left the bowstring, Yi Guan also shot up from the carriage like an arrow leaving the bowstring. He let out a deafening roar in mid-air and brandished a strange weapon in his hand. It looked like a long prism, but it was twisted into a spiral arc. It also looked like a curved blade with two sharp strings on both sides. Its shape was very similar to a strange bull's horn that had been polished and elongated.
When this weapon was brandished, it gave off a soul-shaking sound. A spiral storm surged out of the air and swept towards Gilgamesh's figure. Gilgamesh had once shot down her twin sister, the Heavenly Bull Goddess Zhu Xuan, with one arrow. Yi Li was waiting for him. Not only did this attack carry great power, but it also contained an angry imprisonment. She wanted to wrap Gilgamesh in the center of the storm and prevent him from escaping.
Gilgamesh threw away the longbow after shooting the last arrow. If one was close enough, they could see that he was wearing a pair of boxing gloves. They were carefully made from the toughest snakeskin of Humbaba. Enkidu also had a pair of the same boxing gloves. His boxing gloves shone with a faint golden light, but the aura of power was different from that of a pure warrior like Enkidu. With a low hum, it contained a strange magic. It was as if there was an invisible armor spreading along the boxing gloves and covering his whole body.
If he swung his fist, not only would there be a powerful impact, but there would also be an instantaneous high-level magic. He was ready to swing his fist to meet the storm falling from the sky.
However, at this moment, there was another unexpected change. Gilgamesh had only swung his fist halfway when he suddenly turned his wrist and grabbed a longbow. It was the famous divine bow that he had forged with his own hands.
This bow had been given by Gilgamesh to Amon, and Amon had given it to Medanzo for safekeeping. At this moment, it was back in his hands. Gilgamesh turned his wrist and held the bow in his hand, just in the posture of shooting an arrow. Then, he pulled the bowstring and pulled out an arrow from the bowstring out of thin air. This was not an arrow condensed from energy. This time, he had come to assassinate Emperor Sinnach. Under his linen sleeves, there was a bracelet. It was this supreme mage's spatial artifact.
This arrow was drawn from the bracelet. It was about three feet long, and the white shaft was filled with a terrifying aura. There were strange veins on the body of the arrow that seemed to be flowing. Without the feather, it was just a bare shaft. There was also no arrowhead. The tip of the shaft was naturally pointed, making it look extremely sharp. This was Humbaba's tusk. It should have been curved, but Gilgamesh had refined it into such an arrow.
The spine of Gilgamesh's divine bow was refined from Humbaba's Gu Gu, and the bowstring was made from Humbaba's snake tendon. As soon as the arrow was placed on the bowstring, the bowstring immediately made a strange vibration. It sounded like an angry roar, but also like a wail of pain. The sound of thousands of wild bulls roaring could be heard in the wilderness. In an instant, this plain-looking warrior seemed to have become an indomitable god. Even the grassland around him became blurred under the powerful aura.
The gauntlet glowed with golden light as he slowly pulled the bowstring. In mid-air, there seemed to be a phantom of a nine-headed serpent. Faust's expression immediately changed. This was because Gilgamesh was not aiming at the flying bull god in the sky, but at him, who was floating in mid-air in the distance and presiding over the magic formation.
This series of unforeseen events happened at the same time. Gilgamesh drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The flying bull god rushed into the sky and fired a thunderstorm at Gilgamesh. However, Gilgamesh did not even raise his head. He did not pay any attention to the thunderstorm at all. This was because he heard a voice in his soul that he absolutely trusted. "Gil, let me handle the matters in the sky. You deal with the magic formation with all your strength."
This was the voice of God Amon, and the real sneak attack had only just begun. A long sword carrying the power of sealing slashed through the void, and the spiral-shaped storm was abruptly cut in mid-air before it could fully unfold. Following this slash, Amun also stepped out of the void with the Eye of Sealing in his hand. Since the divine emissary sent by Enril had made his move, he, the god, had finally appeared in person.
Amon cut the storm with one slash. He then swung his sword with a devouring power towards the flying bull god opposite him. The flying bull god waved his spiraling longsword, and a fierce storm rolled up in mid-air. He forcefully received Amon's slash, and his figure flew backwards. At the same time, two figures suddenly rushed out from Sinnach's guards into the sky. Accompanied by thick smoke and flames, they attacked Amon from the left and right. In an instant, they formed a triangle in the sky.
They were the two great generals under Enril, the God of Flames, Kibir, and the God of Ashes, Nugus. Enril had long anticipated that Amon might come to assassinate Sinnach, and had already set up an ambush in advance. However, Enril did not expect that Amon would make such a big move. Moreover, Faust and Princess Sissila were the real threats to the emperor.
Fierce battles broke out in all directions at the same time, from the sky to the ground.
The experts of the mortal world had no time to care about the battle between the gods. Gilgamesh's arrow had already been shot. This was the most powerful arrow he had ever shot in his life. No matter how sturdy an ordinary bow or arrow was, it would not be able to withstand such abundant magic power.
The sharp whistling sound of the arrow instantly drowned out all the sounds of fighting on the battlefield. If Faust did not respond with all his strength, he would definitely be shot dead on the spot. The mages who had set up the formation were all shocked. At the same time, they mobilized their most powerful magic power. A brilliant light spread out, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.
The whistling arrow shot into the rainbow, shattering the colorful halo layer by layer. Finally, it strangely froze in the air. The strong impact of the arrow did not dissipate, as if it was frozen in the viscous air.
Outside the formation, the court supreme mage Wight shouted anxiously, "Master, the scroll!" Then, a look of panic appeared on his face. The magic formation that had been enveloping the entire battlefield suddenly retracted its power, no longer protecting the warriors and King Sinnach.
Before Gilgamesh shot the arrow, Sinnach's guards had been steadily gaining the upper hand. Although the assassins were attacking from three directions, the guards' formation was very tight, and they were only advancing rapidly towards Medanzo in the west. Faust led the team of palace clerics to lay down a divine spell formation that covered the entire battlefield. The weapons of the imperial guards were engraved with the inscriptions of the divine spell formation. Under the activation of the divine spell formation, the weapons were linked together like an impenetrable fortress.
Their first duty was to protect His Majesty's Ankin, so they did not disperse and attack separately. In the distant camp, Cripps had already led three hundred imperial guards to the rear of Goliath and the other two, and would soon defeat the assassins. Goliath, Walter, and Rulio's retreat had been cut off, and Medanzo, who was in a bitter battle, could not escape either. Although Sinnach was cruel, his command of the battle was not chaotic at all.
Yi Li's attack was the first surprise. The imperial guards did not know the origin of this female giant, and did not expect her to be so powerful. Could it be that a god was hiding beside Emperor Sinnach?
The thunderous roar of Joyful Thunder as it soared into the sky and the thunderstorm that spread out was so terrifying that the warriors facing Gilgamesh felt their minds being seized by it.
Amun's appearance was the second surprise. He stepped out of the void, waved his sword, and cut off the thunderstorm, repelling Yi Li. Then, thick smoke and flames appeared in the sky, and a battle between the gods really began. The imperial guards facing the south almost forgot to breathe at this moment, and looked at the sky with an extremely shocked expression. No matter what kind of warrior they were, when they saw the gods fighting in the sky with their own eyes, they would always be in awe. Not everyone could be Enkidu!
The third surprise was the long-fang arrow shot by Gilgamesh. Its power was unparalleled, and the whistling sound of it even drowned out the fierce battle of the gods in the sky. Its target was Faust, who was floating in the air. The court supreme mage White, who was floating above Sinnach, was shocked. He subconsciously shouted for Faust, reminding the sage to use the scrolls.
In fact, White had long wanted to remind Faust to use the scrolls, but he did not say it just now because there was no need. The assassins could not break into the battle formation, and the protection of the magic formation was very tight, so there was naturally no need to waste the defensive scrolls. Gilgamesh was still far away, so there was no need to use the offensive scrolls for the time being. But against Rulio and the others, they could use the high-grade offensive scrolls, which would save them a lot of effort. White used two high-grade scrolls to shoot down Medanzo from the air.
Perhaps because the imperial guards had gained the upper hand, Cripps and his men were about to surround them, so Faust did not have to use the scrolls for now. But when Gilgamesh shot that arrow, White realized that the situation was not good. He did not think that the assassins could succeed, but seeing so many unexpected changes suddenly happen, he was worried that the situation would get out of control, and he reminded Faust to end the battle quickly. Unfortunately, his reminder was too late.
It was too late to use the defensive scrolls to deal with Gilgamesh's arrow, and could only use the magic formation to activate the instantaneous magic. White's heart suddenly turned cold when he saw the arrow shattering the halos on the rainbow one after another and finally being frozen in mid-air. This was because the divine spell formation formed by the team of palace priests and guards under Faust's command had suddenly broken away from the fierce battle.
