My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 735: One wave subsides, another wave rises

This sudden siege lasted until dawn.

The number of attacking monsters is far beyond imagination, but with Tomoe Gozen's inexplicable departure, Ushiwakamaru and Ibaraki were seriously injured in the rescue, and Anna, Merlin, Fujimaru and Sakutsuki were on the expedition. Now, the only two Heroic Spirits, Benkei and Leonidas II, are still responsible for defending the city.

When manpower is exhausted.

When the monsters were cut down like wheat, and the soldiers defending the city were replaced one after another, the burly Spartan king wearing an iron helmet finally heard the expected bad news -

"General, we are short of manpower!"

After months of fighting, the number of young and strong men in Uruk who were able to fight had been rapidly decreasing. In this attack and defense, the gaps caused by the lack of generals often required ten or even a hundred times more Uruk soldiers to fill the gap.

Warcraft girls can produce offspring continuously, but humans cannot give birth to 17 or 18 cubs a day. As a result, there will be a day when they will be stretched to their limits.

The Warcraft riot tonight has only accelerated this process.

But, at this time...

Leonidas II waved his hand and ordered the messenger to retreat. He then climbed to the top of the city wall and watched the fierce fighting on the battlefield in silence.

"It seems that no matter what kind of story it is, the heroes always follow the same path."

Hearing this, Leonidas turned around and bowed his head respectfully: "King."

"Yeah." The white ribbons were flying and brushing past the red battle robe. Gilgamesh, who had taken the initiative to leave the palace, walked forward, stood side by side with the loyal general, and looked ahead.

The pair of scarlet snake eyes saw the same scenery.

But the mood was completely different.

"——It is inevitable after all." Gilgamesh sighed with a slight regret, raised his hand, and the ancient book floated above it, slowly opening it.

In just a moment, a murderous atmosphere filled the air. Leonidas had no doubt that once the wise king activated the backup plan he had prepared in advance, the crisis of tonight would be easily resolved.

But what's the cost?
What's the cost?
“Aaaaa——” Just as Gilgamesh made up his mind, a pleasant ethereal voice rang out, and under the gaze of him and Leonidas, a familiar yet unexpected figure climbed onto the city wall.

Blue horns, white dress, and cross-shaped eyes as beautiful as stars.

The night was clearly as dark as ink that could not be dispersed, but when she appeared, the city wall suddenly became bright.

The light has descended here.

Perhaps no one will care about the darkness hidden in the light, but when a beam of light shines through the night, no one will be so dull as to not notice it.

"Roar..." For some reason, the monsters stopped charging forward and let out low growls with unclear emotions. The soldiers were stunned at first, and then followed the sound of the singing and found a figure appearing on the wall.

"Who is that?"

"Why does she have horns on her head?"

"So cute... ahem, no, I mean, why is she standing there?"

"And they're still singing... Is it time for intermission?"

"Would you like a cup of evening tea? I'll use Barshom's blood to make it for you. If you're still not awake, I'll give you a pee as a gift."

"Hey, hey, you... who is this girl?"

"I seem... to recognize her?" A soldier who followed General Tomoe Gozen into battle murmured in disbelief.

"She seems to be... the person in charge of the healing center?"

The person in charge of the healing center? In other words, the doctor?
The doctor stood on the city wall and sang? What song did he sing?

Execution song? The kind that sends us away early?

Instead of answering the question, the soldier's words made things even more confusing.

The girl in white, who looked out of place on the battlefield, was now standing on the bloody battlefield, singing with full concentration.

This was such a bizarre scene that some soldiers even frowned, looking vaguely unhappy.

"This is ridiculous. Even if the song is beautiful, it doesn't matter. Can it drive away these damn monsters?"

Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by the collar. When he turned around, he saw his compatriot staring ahead with wide eyes and a look of horror:
“You, look…”

"What are you looking at, I--" the soldier frowned, but when the scene came into his eyes, he fell into the same daze.

In front of him were the monsters trembling and kneeling on the ground.

The troublesome lion dog Ulidim, the domineering three-horned lion dragon Ushumugar, the sinister angry snake Mushuhuxiu, the mighty sun demon Ugar... no matter how powerful or ferocious they were, they were all lying on the ground at this moment, even though the stunned human soldiers were right in front of them, and some were even brave enough to poke them with guns, but they remained indifferent.

It was as if no one and nothing could affect the awe that was rooted in their blood.

"It seems like something is really different..." Murmurs appeared in every corner of the soldiers' team, and at the same time, the singing changed.

“Laaaa——”

Just like a mother caressing her angry child, yet telling them gently and in an undeniable way:

You should leave.

Then, accompanied by an orderly and rustling sound, the monsters stood up one after another, their scarlet eyes still lingering on the fresh humans, but when they passed by the glowing girl on the city wall, they averted their gazes and turned away as if they were burned.

Step by step, trampling the corpses and blood of their own kind, like a colony of ants returning to their nest, they disappeared into the depths of the forest, to the end of the world.

Never again.

After a long time, the sound of someone testing was heard.

"Go...go?"

"It should be... right." Even if seeing it is believing, the fact that the beast tide was dispersed so easily was too hard to accept.

It was not until Leonidas himself blew the horn and sounded the retreat that the soldiers, who had suffered so much that night, woke up from their dream and burst into tears of joy.

That’s right, the Warcraft retreated!
We have defended the Warcraft front!

“We won—!”

No one knew who started it, but people did not return to the city. Instead, they raised their weapons high and cheered loudly on the battlefield where countless blood had been shed. The sound was so loud that it was deafening.

They didn't know that on the city wall there was not only the young girl who turned the tide, but also their king and a certain female general who had 'deserted from the battlefield' from the very beginning.

"I, Ba, who abandoned the battle and fled, apologize to the king." The white-haired woman, who was exhausted and even the horse beside her was panting, knelt on one knee and bowed her head to admit her fault to the wise king, "It was because Ba did not participate in the war that the situation became so critical..."

"Don't overestimate yourself, bastard." The wise king narrowed his eyes and put away the treasure in his hand. "Just relying on you alone, you are not worthy of being called a master of overturning the war situation."

"Yes." Tomoe Gozen pursed her lips and agreed in a low voice.

Although she felt guilty for not being able to fight alongside her comrades, she did not regret it.

Because the girl she invited could allow more soldiers to take off their armor and go back to hug their wives and children.

For this reason, it doesn't matter even if I'm punished by the king.

Ta, da, da... The wise king walked past her and towards the girl who truly saved the battle line, but paused slightly halfway.

There was an imperceptible sound, transmitted by the wind.

"Well done. You are worthy of being the Archer that the King has chosen."

Tomoe Gozen looked up in disbelief, looking at the back of the wise king, his pupils lit up: "...Yes!"

The wise king seemed not to have heard and walked over to the girl: "Hey, Za...are you okay?"

Ignoring Gilgamesh's stiff address, the girl with blue horns stared at the cheering people under the city wall with gentle starry eyes.

"I like it very much, kids."

"That's natural." Gilgamesh stood behind the girl, staring at her back calmly.

In the endless darkness, the girl in the white dress looks slender and thin, so fragile that she seems like she will disappear at any time.

"Are you OK?"

"Hmm?" The girl turned her head and blinked as if she didn't understand. The innocent and ignorant look in her eyes made Gilgamesh's face freeze.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

So the girl in white smiled and nodded, then looked back at the cheering people on the battlefield.

Her eyes were gentle and doting, but no one noticed that her face was as pale as paper.

The night is as cold as water.

"Hey, from the Minamoto family." In the crowd, Ibaraki Douji fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out. People consciously dispersed to give enough space to the dusty Tiger Fang Lolita and the bloodstained white robe of General Ushiwakamaru. "I've made up my mind. Tomorrow you will go to Uruk East Street with me."

"What? I'm busy." Ushiwakamaru wiped his beloved sword, "You want me to play childish games with you? I won't go."

"Hmph, you beg me but I still won't agree." Ibaraki snorted arrogantly, "Just tell me whether you want to go or not."

"Then... do it with reluctance."

"Hehehe." Ibaraki lay back contentedly, looked up at the sky, and was suddenly stunned.

"Ushiwakamaru..."

"what happened again?"

There was a gulp sound, which was the sound of Ibaraki Douji swallowing his saliva.

"Do you feel..." Her voice was dry, "something is flying towards us?"

"Huh?" The girl from the Yuan family looked up in surprise, and the next moment, her pupils suddenly shrank!

Something dark was constantly enlarging on her retina.

boom!
The violent explosion, accompanied by flames shooting up into the sky, attracted the attention of everyone in Uruk. Even Gilgamesh, who had one foot halfway down the city wall, frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

"Oops!"

Click.

This is the sound of the spine being broken.

“Ibaraki——!!!” Ushiwakamaru’s angry roar resounded through the sky.

When the dust cleared, in addition to the new corpses on the ground, there was also a little girl wearing twelve pieces of clothing who was grabbed by someone with one hand. As the black-robed man exerted force with his arm, her neck was broken cleanly and neatly!
Right at the feet of the man in black robe, Ushiwakamaru was coughing up blood, but he was struggling frantically like an angry trapped beast, his eyes filled with endless anger and murderous intent.

But there is nothing you can do.

"This is..." Tomoe Gozen heard his own dry voice and Leonidas' low sigh.

"Get ready." The Spartan king put on his helmet and strode out of the city.

The dull voice, as if resonating in the chest, told everyone calmly.

"It seems that the war tonight is not over yet."
