To ensure everyone's safety, Gilgamesh gave the order right away.
"Siduri, bring the civil officials and soldiers to make arrangements. Let the citizens enter the underground shelter immediately. When all the citizens are in the shelter, open the barrier around the shelter. Make sure the shelter is safe."
Gilgamesh gave the order.
The shelter was right under Uruk. If Lahhelm broke into Uruk and started a war there, the ground might be shattered. Plus, there was an entrance to the shelter. If Lahhelm discovered it, it would be a disaster. Therefore, Gilgamesh had already placed treasures in the shelter to open up a sturdy barrier to protect the shelter from the shockwaves of the battle.
"After the shelter is completed, you stay in there and don't come out again."
Gilgamesh looked at Siduri and gave her an order that was rare for him.
"I …"
Siduri opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter a word.
She knew very well that if she didn't leave and stayed, she wouldn't be able to help at all.
Although she was the Chief Shaman of the Sacrificial Ground, she didn't have much combat power and was no better than a common soldier. If she stayed in Uruk, she would be crushed to death like a grass on the street.
Therefore, if she stayed in Uruk, she would only be a burden.
"Go, Siduri."
Ishtar also said so. It was obvious that both Ishtar and Gilgamesh were concerned about Siduri's safety.
She had been by Gilgamesh's side since he was young, and had witnessed almost everything he had done. Even when Uruk was reduced to rubble when Gilgamesh went to the underworld in search of immortal herbs, she was the only one who stayed behind to wait for Gilgamesh's return. To Gilgamesh, her status was still a little different from that of an ordinary person.
To Ishtar, Siduri was also his most devout believer.
The two of them could be indifferent to others, but when it came to Siduri, they couldn't help but care about her.
It wasn't that Siduri couldn't understand.
So …
"… I understand."
Siduri turned around and faced everyone.
"I will pray for everyone and hope that you can defeat Tiamat safely."
With that said, Siduri bowed to everyone, giving the biggest salute she had ever given so far.
Everyone looked at Siduri and paid their utmost respect to this assistant-officer who did her best.
Rozen and Matthew also stepped forward.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time, Miss Siduri."
Matthew bowed to Siduri.
"Leave this place to us."
Rozen also looked at Siduri and promised in a warm voice, which was rare for him.
Siduri bowed to the crowd once more, then led a group of officials and soldiers out of the royal hall.
The royal hall suddenly became empty.
Gilgamesh said as he watched Siduri leave.
"Before tomorrow, all 200,000 citizens should be able to evacuate into the shelters, leaving Uruk empty."
"At that time, Uruk will definitely become a battlefield for Lehmu to hunt."
"It doesn't matter how many of those monsters are killed, so our task is to guard the entrance of the shelter and stop Lehmu."
"The entrance of the shelter is at the bottom of this tower. At that time, with the tower as the center, we will directly establish a defense line to fight against Lehmu."
"Since the enemy has turned into flying Demonic Beasts, the walls of Uruk are useless. All of you can wreak havoc around Uruk. Just be careful not to aim at the ground when you use your Noble Relic. You'll be fine."
With that, Gilgamesh turned to Rozen.
"And Tiamat, I will leave it to you."
"Use your method to weaken Tiamat's Spirit Base, reduce the size of her Spirit Base to its initial level, and then put the Self-Injuring Rope on her and seal her."
"As for how to deal with Tiamat after the seal, I won't ask. Do as you please."
Upon hearing that, Rozen lowered his head and looked at the Self-wounding Rope in his hand.
"Will it work?"
Rozen thought so and held the Self-wounding Rope tightly in his hand.
At that moment, a hand reached out and held Rozen's fist that was holding the Self-wounding Rope.
Rozen was startled and turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
That look, Rozen saw Matthew holding his hand tightly, looking at him with eyes full of support, encouragement, and determination.
"It will work."
Matthew said.
"If it doesn't work, everything will be in vain."
Altoria also spoke up faintly.
"Well, when the time comes, we will all go to hell together."
Jeanne d 'Alter sneered indifferently.
"Rozen -sama will succeed."
Shizuru had absolute trust in Rozen.
The others also looked at Rozen.
"I'll leave it to you, Master."
Ishtar smiled sweetly.
"Big sister, I have high hopes for you, Juventud."
Quizar gave a thumbs up to Rozen.
"Although it's a journey, it's fate. Let me accompany you to the end."
The two also looked at Rozen and said so.
"High taxpayer in the future, fight, and then hire me!"
The Leopardman also began to make a fuss.
"Unfortunately, I can't let you join my Iron Artillery Team, hahahaha!"
Nobunaga, on the other hand, laughed heartily.
At this moment, everyone's gazes landed on him.
Even Gilgamesh was like that.
"If we succeed, then mankind will officially say goodbye to the gods, cross the Evil of Mankind itself, and enter a new era."
"If we fail, all traces related to mankind on this planet will be completely erased."
"This is a crucial step for you to save the history of mankind."
"As long as we take this step, then the so-called burning of human reason will truly be solved."
Gilgamesh looked directly at Rozen.
"You are not only the hope of the future of mankind, but also the representative of mankind to challenge the catastrophe of the Spirit World."
"The bestial nature of mankind, the original sin of mankind, will be revealed in front of you."
"This king has opened the future of mankind and the era of mankind, and you are the heir."
"Don't let this king fail, Rozen."
Gilgamesh finally called Rozen by his simple name.
That meant Gilgamesh entrusted the future to him.
The oldest hero in human history, the oldest king, gave the world to Rozen.
Rozen understood all this.
So …
"Leave it to me."
Rozen gave the best response.
Inside Chaldea, Da Vinci and Olga Marie looked at the master for a long time.
Roman was also watching. There was relief on his face, but there was also sadness.
"I hope you can take back your future with your own hands, my brother."
Such a voice quietly reverberated.
For a long time, it didn't die.
