The siege had begun.
In the face of the mighty Beast Tide, military orders were like mountains.
Irin was in a trance. He had the illusion that he was playing a tower defense game.
This game was called "Guarding Uruk."
They were about to face the first wave of siege monsters.
Everyone knew how Gilgamesh treated the red-haired man.
That was why their faces changed.
Who dared to refuse!
Maybe they would die!
After a short silence, the seven heroic spirits adapted to Gilgamesh's way of naming as quickly as possible.
It seemed that the names of the heroic spirits were not important to him.
The seven ranks corresponded to the seven unique types of soldiers.
They were:
"Saber" Knight of Sword.
"Lancer" Knight of Spear.
"Archer" Knight of Bow.
"Rider" Cavalry.
"Caster" Magician.
"Assassin" Assassin.
"Berserker" Berserker.
This was obviously not a serious Holy Grail War.
In a proper Holy Grail War, there were seven types of soldiers. Within the limited range of summoning the Holy Grail, the Master and the Servants would form a team. The seven teams would engage in a fierce battle, and the one who survived in the end would obtain the Holy Grail.
It should have been like this.
But now.
Their masters were all Gilgamesh and he was the only one.
They were also inexplicably summoned to the "God's Generation" recorded in the magician's book.
They came to this battle.
Their enemies were obviously no longer each other, but the Beast Tide in front of them and the aliens in the sky.
Their identities were more like the "humanoid weapons" summoned by Gilgamesh from the Heroic Spirit Throne.
But it didn't make sense.
Gilgamesh looked extremely powerful.
He didn't even move his fingers. He raised his eyelids and directly subdued the red-haired man, who was one of the top 100 in the real world.
This level was beyond imagination.
What made Irin feel strange was that such a powerful person, King Gilgamesh, summoned the seven heroic spirits from 5,000 years in the future. Other than shouting "666" behind Gilgamesh's thigh, what else could they do?
This was one of the things that made Irin puzzled.
The military order was issued.
The expressions of those of the corresponding ranks changed.
Miriam did not say anything, and habitually exchanged glances with Irin. Irin slowly shook his head.
Irin was afraid that Miriam would misunderstand and think that she shook her head to tell her to refuse. With Miriam's temperament, she might just draw her sword and chop at Gilgamesh's face. If that happened, things would get out of hand. Thus, Yi Lin took advantage of the fact that Miriam did not understand the meaning behind his gaze and whispered, "Do your best, and be careful."
Miriam nodded, finally completing this brief exchange of glances.
After all, they weren't ordinary people, so it was normal for them to not have telepathy with each other.
Along the way, Miriam had learned that the Irin was extremely sinister and adept at scheming. Therefore, she did not hesitate and jumped off the city wall in her silver armor.
Miriam's job class was Saber, which meant that she was a Knight of the Sword.
Aside from Miriam's rank, Irin did not know the corresponding ranks of the other Heroic Spirits.
The red-haired man's face alternated between pink and black, and it was extremely ugly.
He did not know what kind of bad luck he had, but ever since he came to Uruk, he had been targeted by Gilgamesh, and his mentality was about to collapse.
But at this time, he could not do anything. Joe D. Solomon glanced at the horde of beasts from afar, laughed loudly, and leaped down from the city tower.
Another one.
Among the seven, Irin had not had any contact with her before, and that was the woman who had the ability to move at supersonic speed in Wuke Town. She snorted coldly and looked unhappy, but she also jumped off the city wall obediently.
Irin used this to deduce their corresponding ranks.
"Michelle …"
At this time.
Yan Fenggong, who was still panicking, pursed his lips slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he shouted at the woman below Wuke Town's city wall, "Michelle, be careful! This is Kanzaki! "
Oh, Irin finally knew her name.
The woman called "Michelle" by Yan Fenggong did not reply. She did not even turn around to look at Yan Fenggong. A stream of light flashed in her right hand, and a scythe-like weapon with a bumpy surface that seemed to be made of densely packed small parts appeared in her hand.
She carried the scythe on her shoulder and did not say a word.
"Sigh …"
On the side, Gu Tianqing sighed softly, "As expected, the divination told me that today's luck is not good."
After saying this, Gu Tianqing moved her arms and legs and prepared to jump off the building.
Irin opened his eyes wide, and felt that something was wrong.
According to Gilgamesh's list, Swordsman, Spear, Mad, and Knight were all ranks that were suitable for close combat. It could be seen that Gilgamesh was not randomly giving out names in a fit of anger. Instead, he was planning to let the Heroic Spirit soldiers with decent close combat abilities go first and block the horde of beasts.
But Gu Tianqing?
"What's your rank?"
Gu Tianqing smiled, "Originally, today's divination was not good, but the surprised expression on your face made me feel that everything is not that bad. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm a Lancer who walked out of the Heroic Spirit Constellation. "
After saying this, without waiting for Irin to respond, Gu Tianqing nimbly jumped off the city wall.
It was not only Irin.
When Gu Tianqing jumped off the city wall, the ahoge on Miriam's forehead also trembled slightly.
She was surprised.
During this journey, other than wearing gloves, smiling fakely, playing cards, and snatching food, Gu Tianqing did not contribute anything else. Now, Gu Tianqing jumped down and hinted that she was a close combat apostle?
This was a bit ridiculous.
"This should not be fake."
Irin frowned. Logically speaking, the Heroic Spirit Constellation was based on a person's ability and experience. Of course, apostles had many tricks up their sleeves, and there was more than one suitable rank. Take Yi Lin as an example. Among the abilities he possessed, the ones that could be compatible with him could be the assassin class, the cavalry class, and even the archer class, which was known for its long-range attack ability. Yi Lin could also have a little bit of it.
But in the end, the Heroic Spirit Constellation chose to let Irin descend on Uruk as a magician.
Obviously, the Heroic Spirit Constellation recognized Irin as a magician, which was far more suitable than other people, and also surpassed Irin's other abilities.
But how could Gu Tianqing have anything to do with the gun-grade "Lancer"?
Irin could not imagine Gu Tianqing suddenly taking out a big gun and swinging it to death. It was too strange.
It was simply too strange.
But Gu Tianqing had already jumped down.
Irin could not ask in detail.
He could only curiously observe Gu Tianqing's performance on the battlefield.
Irin looked around and observed everything in front of him.
This place was strange everywhere.
Irin did not dare to let his guard down.
Gilgamesh's voice spread across the battlefield. It was very clear, and it was assisted by magic.
Under the command of Gilgamesh, teams of soldiers in ancient armor, sandals, and long spears followed the four heroic spirits and stood on all four sides of the city wall of Uruk, waiting for the enemy.
Although the four Heroic Spirits did not have much experience on the battlefield, the Uruk soldiers were obviously professionals. They could even lead the Heroic Spirits and prevent them from getting lost or escaping.
As the horde of beasts approached, Irin finally had a direct estimate of the number of beasts.
From the number of beasts on each side of Uruk, it was more or less balanced.
There were about ten thousand beasts running wildly on each side of the city wall.
The Uruk soldiers led by the four Heroic Spirits were in a standard 20 square formations, each of which was made up of 100 soldiers.
In other words, each side of the city wall was defended by two thousand elite soldiers of Uruk.
Every side of the city wall was two thousand versus ten thousand!
In terms of numbers, Uruk's side was at an absolute disadvantage.
After this batch of beasts fell from the crack in the sky, the eyes in the crack flashed and there were no other movements.
"Probing?"
After thinking for a while, Irin understood the enemy's plan.
Uruk's opponent seemed to be a foreign race with intelligence, and not just wild beasts that only knew how to kill. This was even more troublesome.
"Xiao Bai!"
Irin called out Bai Xiaoyi.
Everyone had Spiritual Weapons, so Irin did not need to hide. He directly called out Bai Xiaoyi to act as a high vantage point.
When Bai Xiaoyi appeared, she was instantly stunned by the epic battle in front of her. But after a while, she, who was used to seeing big scenes, quickly calmed down. Without any nonsense, she flew into the sky. It was rare for her to appear, so she was full of energy. Today, she must not be defeated by that "little beauty"!
Hmph!
Our mother-daughter Heavenly Team is the best!
Irin did not know that Bai Xiaoyi was secretly encouraging and cheering herself on.
With the help of Ling's vision, Irin saw the situation of the entire battlefield from above.
"Oh?"
Gilgamesh raised his head. His golden hair fluttered in the wind, and his chin was raised at a 45-degree angle. He glanced at Bai Xiaoyi in the sky and sneered, but did not say anything.
Nearly forty thousand monsters surrounded Uruk City, leaving no room for escape. At a glance, the black tide of beasts and the strange eyes on each of the beasts were filled with an aura of despair.
However, none of the soldiers, including the residents of Uruk City, showed even the slightest hint of fear in this situation. The soldiers who did not follow the battle, as well as the residents of Uruk, were all kneeling on the ground and mumbling.
If one listened carefully, they would hear that they were mumbling two names over and over again.
One of them was King Gilgamesh, who was standing on the city wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
The other name was the god they believed in, "Xi"!
Irin was paying attention to everything around him.
He was thinking about two things.
What he had experienced so far, was it the history that had been buried in the past and reappeared by the power of the Holy Grail? Or did they really travel to five thousand years ago and experience the war that was happening now, and it was evolving into a part of history?
The other thing was, where was the god they were talking about, "Xi"?
Was he still alive?
No, he must still be alive.
Otherwise, he would not have experienced all those things in reality five thousand years later.
If "Xi" was in this world, then where was she now?
Did she know that he came from five thousand years later?
Did she know what happened five thousand years later?
More and more doubts.
While Irin was thinking, the tide of beasts approached, and the war was about to start.
"Wooo —"
On the city wall, professional bugle soldiers, under the command of King Gilgamesh, blew the horn to attack.
"Boom!"
On the west side of the town of Uruk, Miriam held an invisible blade in her hand, and with nimble steps, the ground shook as she charged out. She seemed to have taken a step forward, but in the blink of an eye, she had crossed a distance of nearly a hundred meters. One person, one sword, charged into the tide of beasts.
"Hiss —"
Miriam's wrist shook, and an invisible blade flashed through the tide of beasts, and hundreds of beasts of different sizes were dismembered in the blink of an eye!
"What!"
Miriam's performance shocked Irin, who was watching from the side. Although the ability of the tide of beasts was unknown, Miriam's sword was far beyond Irin's imagination in terms of speed and range of attack.
In a few breaths, Miriam had already killed several beasts in the tide of beasts, and the ground was covered in stinky blood. The soldiers who followed behind stepped on the sticky blood, and they sang loud and clear war songs as they fought against the tide of beasts.
"Something's not right."
Irin's gaze moved away from Miriam, and he observed his surroundings.
On the east side.
At first, the red-haired man was determined to die, and he had no choice but to charge into the tide of beasts. But when he charged, he did not control his strength well, and he took a step forward, and a deep pit appeared. With each step, he created a pit as he fought against the tide of beasts.
Wherever his fists passed, the beasts were crushed into meat paste. It was very violent.
The red-haired man was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed. He laughed wildly as he tore the beasts apart with his bare hands. His expression was one of pleasure and satisfaction.
"Something's not right."
Irin's frown deepened.
On the south side.
Gu Tianqing smiled, and like a bolt of lightning, he charged into the middle of the tide of beasts. Behind him, a blindfolded vengeful spirit in a blood-stained dress flashed past. The vengeful spirit held a hammer in one hand and a half-meter-long iron nail in the other. The tip of the sharp nail emitted an ominous gray aura as it pierced into the tide of beasts.
The beasts that were pierced by the nail froze on the spot for a moment, and in the next second, they fell to the ground in pain. They rolled, twisted, and twitched, and the blood vessels on their bodies burst. Not long after, a beast that was perfectly fine died on the spot after being pierced by the nail. All the blood vessels on its body burst, and it died.
Gu Tianqing charged in easily, pierced a bunch of beasts, and broke out of the encirclement easily. His movements, speed, and reflexes didn't seem like they belonged to a Psychic Adept.
On the north side.
Michelle, who had the ability to move at the speed of sound, held a huge scythe in her hand, and moved at lightning speed in the midst of the beasts. She single-handedly destroyed the tide of beasts, and the Uruk soldiers behind her were happily harvesting the beasts.
"Everyone has been strengthened?"
Irin quickly came to this conclusion based on the performance of the four sides of the battlefield. After thinking for a while, Irin opened his panel and looked down at the three command seals on the back of his hand.
After thinking for a while, Irin said softly,
"I see."
He understood now.
No wonder Tower gave them a hint when they entered this place. They had to "adapt to the new rules". The abilities of all the Heroic Spirits were greatly strengthened. Firstly, after adapting to the new rules, they were given the corresponding "class skills", and their combat power was more in line with their class.
Also, King Gilgamesh did not return the three command seals to their original spirits simply because he looked down on them. Among them, as the master's command seals, other than being able to command the Heroic Spirits to do whatever they wanted, each command seal contained terrifying magic, and was enough to bring immeasurable strength to the Heroic Spirits.
Therefore, they became stronger with a head of thick hair.
The reason was so simple.
Gilgamesh, who had been observing the battlefield, suddenly frowned, and an ordinary looking clay tablet appeared out of thin air. He took out a pen and wrote something on it.
Huh?
Does King Gilgamesh have a habit of writing in his diary?
Before Irin could take a closer look, Gilgamesh quickly put away the clay tablet.
"Heh, boring probing."
The battle on the battlefield was in full swing, but Gilgamesh yawned, turned around, and walked down the city wall. Amidst the cheers and the worship of the Uruk people, he walked towards the palace.
Irin was stunned.
Just a moment ago..,
The moment Gilgamesh turned around, Irin accidentally saw something.
He saw with his own eyes that Gilgamesh's eyes turned from golden to an ordinary light red.
Wait a minute..,
The eyes he had been maintaining before, could it be a pair of … magic eyes?
Or the golden and very advanced kind?
An hour later.
The first wave of beasts that attacked Uruk was completely annihilated.
Outside Uruk City, piles of monster flesh and corpses were piled up.
The first battle..,
Was over.
