Today's incident did not cause too much of a commotion in Uruk.
Originally, a total of 113 people dying of exhaustion should have attracted the attention of the citizens of Uruk. However, the North Wall and the South Gate were constantly being attacked by monsters other than humans. The citizens of Uruk were already doing their best to cope with the various needs and difficulties that arose during the war. With the addition of a hundred thousand new soldiers, this matter became a big deal. Even if it caused a momentary uproar, it would soon disappear without a trace.
Therefore, the citizens of Uruk continued to forge iron, smelt copper, forge weapons, and make clay slabs. There were also various agricultural, food, and animal husbandry jobs. They were very busy.
The hundred thousand people who joined Uruk had also been arranged. Those with special skills were sent to work in related industries. Those who were previously soldiers were sent to the South Gate or the North Wall to participate in the war. Even the elderly and women who were incapable were sent to do chores. It could be said that the entire population was doing manual labor. One could imagine how lively the city was.
Of course, if there were children, Uruk would only protect them. They would not force them to work.
In Gilgamesh's words, it was …
"Children are the future of society and race. They only need to play to their heart's content and cultivate their knowledge and wisdom. In this way, humanity will continue to develop. In the end, society and the country will also develop, and they will become my treasures."
The king who had collected the prototype of human technology and the original codex of an era into his own treasure vault had declared so calmly.
The wise king who could foresee the future should be very clear that this era was the origin and beginning of humanity. Therefore, cultivating children's wisdom and allowing humanity to continue to prosper and develop was a very important matter.
It was a pity that Gilgamesh's efforts were completely useless.
There was no other reason. For some reason, among the hundreds of thousands of people, there were elderly and women, but there were no children.
"Could it be that the children who have yet to grow up are not enough to be used as materials to create magical beasts?"
Rozen was surprised and thought about it, but in the end, he could not come up with an answer. He could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Thanks to this, not a single one of the hundred thousand people who were rescued was useless. They all had their own things to do and could be considered to have integrated into the city of war that was Uruk.
News of victory came continuously from the North Wall and South Gate. With the help of a large number of tamed monsters sent by Rozen, the army of magical beasts and the army of the Jungle were gradually being defeated. They had a huge advantage that they had never had before.
However, they could not blindly counterattack. They still had to remain vigilant.
After all, they were only chess pieces for the war. The Goddesses had not yet made their move. They had to observe the battlefield.
In a situation where the culprit, the Goddess, had not been dealt with, no matter how much of an advantage they had, they could not let their guard down.
At the very least, no matter how many magical beasts there were in the North, the Goddess of Magical Beasts would be able to use her power to breed them again and replenish them at any time. The winged dragons in the South were also summoned by the Forest Goddess. Even the beastmen were existences that appeared along with the Forest Goddess.
No matter how many of such opponents were killed, they would not be able to cause any damage that could overturn the situation of the battle.
Fortunately, Uruk had this advantage as well.
Rozen used the magical power of the Holy Grail to summon an army of hundreds of thousands of tamed monsters. They could also be summoned again even if they were killed. If they were injured, they could recover with magical power alone, so they were not afraid of the enemy at all.
In view of this, the current situation of the war was in a relatively tense state. It all depended on which side could not sit still and directly send out a general.
Just like that, the sky gradually turned dark.
.....
After nightfall, the various sounds of smithing and shouting in Uruk gradually weakened until it completely disappeared.
The citizens of Uruk had finished their work for the day. After rewarding themselves with a sumptuous dinner, they went to bed early.
In this era, people rarely had the concept of staying up late. Going to bed early and getting up early was their way of life.
For tomorrow's busy work, the citizens had to rest well. This was something that even Gilgamesh emphasized.
As a result, the lights in Uruk basically disappeared after nightfall, even in the embassy.
However, Rozen and his party did not go to bed early.
At this time, Rozen, Matthew, and Anna were wandering around the streets of Uruk.
Beside them, Merlin was also following them with Fou.
"Yawn ~ ~ ~"
Merlin, with Fou on his shoulder, walked forward while yawning so much that tears appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Hasn't Garulla Spirit appeared yet?" Merlin said with a sleepy face, "If it doesn't appear soon, Brother Merlin really can't hold on anymore. For a nightmare, sleep is a big deal."
The great magician of Britain said such words that made people feel tired.
"Merlin, please shut up."
Anna sent her greeting in a concise and comprehensive manner.
"As expected of a useless person."
Chaldea's party also complained.
"Mr. Merlin …" Matthew also said hesitantly, "Nightmare should be an existence that creates dreams and devours other people's dreams, not an existence that needs to sleep, right?"
Alright, our little eggplant still couldn't help but complain.
Of course, this level was still too weak to deal with the great magician Merlin.
"Because I'm half human, so although I don't need to sleep as much as ordinary humans, I still need a certain amount of sleep."
Merlin continued to yawn without any guilt.
"Moreover, Brother Merlin, I worked with the sacrificial ground to set up the sea of flowers last night, and I still have to come out to fight the spirits tonight. This is really a squeeze, isn't it? Camelot still has the best treatment."
He had been complaining like this all along.
Rozen ignored Merlin and just walked forward while looking at Anna.
"I really didn't expect you to come with us." Rozen said, "Although Gilgamesh did entrust all of us and even sent Merlin here, your goal is the Beast Goddess, I thought you wouldn't care about the Underworld Goddess."
"… This is a misunderstanding." Anna sighed and said, "Even if this goes against my original intention, I don't intend to let what happened last night go just like that."
It seemed that this girl was quite vengeful.
