Time passed by bit by bit.
During this period, the army of demonic beasts continued to attack the absolute beasts' frontline, attempting to flatten it and occupy the southern part of Mesopotamia.
Unfortunately, the soldiers of Uruk were very tenacious. They continued to take turns to defend. When they were tired, they would be replaced, and when they were injured, they would retreat. Batch after batch, they took turns to fight against the demonic beasts. With the guardrails and spears, they managed to block the attacks of the demonic beasts.
The demonic beasts continued to attack, but in the end, their bodies were pierced by the spears of the soldiers of Uruk, and they fell to the ground. Even if the demonic beasts continued to pounce on the soldiers, they were blocked by the guardrails and could not break through the defensive line.
Under such circumstances, the demonic beasts were defeated one after another.
Of course, the human side was not completely without casualties. Sometimes, there were situations where the defense line was breached, resulting in a number of people dying under the fangs of the demonic beasts. But very quickly, the gap was immediately filled up, and the demonic beasts were once again blocked. They could not cross the absolute beasts' frontline and attack Uruk.
The war between the humans and the demonic beasts continued like this, and blood and corpses became the main decorations of the land.
However, in general, the demonic beasts had more casualties, and the humans had fewer casualties. From the results, it was clear which side had the upper hand.
This situation made Matthew exclaim in surprise.
"I really did not expect the humans of Kamigami to be so tenacious. Their opponents are clearly the demonic beasts."
The humans guarding the frontline were all ordinary soldiers, not heroes or magicians. Yet, they were able to block so many demonic beasts with their spears and shields. It was really incredible.
Although the number of the demonic beasts was huge, their individual strength was not weak. In Rozen's words, they were between the middle-level and high-level Tamed Monsters. Ordinary humans would not be able to defeat such demonic beasts without at least ten brave warriors. But here, with just a few hundred people, they were able to block the attack of thousands of such demonic beasts. One could imagine how incredible it was.
Even Attila gave a rare evaluation.
"Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and strength, they were able to defeat the demonic beasts' army with their formation and strategy."
That was right.
At first glance, the difference in numbers and strength between the two sides was huge, but a closer look would reveal that Uruk's soldiers were actually fighting in an orderly fashion, and their tactics were constantly changing.
For example, when the Magical Beasts attacked in groups, the soldiers would always ignore the Magical Beasts behind them and only target the few Magical Beasts that were charging at the front. They would concentrate their forces, with about three to five people dealing with one Magical Beast. They would use the guardrail to block the Magical Beasts and concentrate their attacks on them. Then, they would quickly change their positions and focus their attacks on the next batch of Magical Beasts that charged at them.
Therefore, it seemed like the humans were outnumbered by the magical beasts, but in reality, the humans had the advantage in numbers. They were able to defeat the magical beasts that pounced on them.
On the other hand, the Magical Beasts were strong and numerous, but they were like a plate of loose sand. They only had a single instinct, and that was to charge at their prey and bite them to death. It would be strange if they weren't defeated one by one.
Rozen was sure.
"There must be a commander who is very good at military operations, right?"
That commander seemed to be the talent that Gilgamesh used a special method to recruit, as Enkidu mentioned before.
Rozen could imagine what kind of existence that person was.
Because his Divine Eye had already observed that there was an unusually powerful Aura appearing from time to time on the Magical Beasts' side.
The owner of that Aura wasn't human.
On Chaldea's side, Roman also sent a report.
"Multiple servant responses have been detected. There is definitely more than one servant on the Magical Beasts' side!"
That's right, there seemed to be servants on the Magical Beasts' side.
"Is it a neutral servant summoned by the Holy Grail?"
Rozen guessed that, and he also asked Enkidu about it.
As a result, Enkidu said so.
"I don't know. Gilgamesh never said how he recruited those talents. Maybe he summoned them himself with the Holy Grail?"
It wasn't impossible.
But now was not the time to discuss that.
Rozen and Enkidu, who were lying in ambush in the mountains, waiting for their target to appear, kept quiet most of the time.
Until …
"Detected Spiritual Base response is approaching quickly!"
Da Vinci's voice sounded from the communicator.
"The Spiritual Base's value and magical reaction can't be wrong. It's similar to the sixth singularity's Goddess Lungominiad!"
Almost at the moment when such a voice fell, in the sky, a stream of light swept from a distance, heading in the direction of the Magical Beasts' front line.
"It's coming!"
Enkidu's spirit was lifted.
Rozen also narrowed his eyes, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he saw the true body of the stream of light.
She was a slender, fair-skinned girl who looked like the young lady next door.
The girl had long, black, and beautiful hair that was tied into two ponytails, which fluttered naturally in the wind. She also wore a golden headpiece that looked like a crown on her head, and she wore an exotic, classic swimsuit-like attire. Nearly 80% of her skin was exposed to the air, and even her feet were bare. She was quite bold.
However, even though she was dressed in such a bold and revealing outfit, she didn't look dirty at all. Instead, she had an indescribable charm and beauty. She even exuded a sparkling sense of nobility, just like a princess.
The girl was on a huge and gorgeous bow, floating in the air, flying at an extremely fast speed.
Rozen could "see" that the girl in front of him, who looked like both a princess and a missy, was a real God.
Yes.
She was the goddess of Venus, Ishtar.
The bow that Ishtar stepped on wasn't an ordinary weapon either. It was a heavenly ship that doubled as an airship — "Marana."
It was said that Marana was the ship of god in Mesopotamian mythology, and it was also the interstellar portal that connected Earth and Venus. It was both Ishtar's weapon and her mount, and it had a wide range of uses.
Thanks to it, Ishtar could travel anywhere in the world freely. She was even called the mistress of the sky by the people.
Now, the goddess appeared in front of Rozen.
"Lord Rorelles."
Enkidu looked at Rozen.
"Yes." Rozen nodded and said calmly, "Let's do it."
Enkidu smiled when he heard that.
Magic power began to surge around him like a storm.
"Huh?"
In the sky, the girl who was flying at high speed seemed to sense something and looked over in surprise.
Then …
"Now!"
Enkidu dashed out of the deep mountains and waved his hand. Golden ripples appeared in the space around him.
