I, Son of Tiamat

In order to prevent daring humans from stealing the treasures in the cedar forest, the gods also specially dispatched two half-human, half-scorpion guards at the entrance of the cedar forest.

In addition to the guards at the entrance of the cedar forest, there is also a terrifying monster [Humbaba] wandering in the cedar forest.

Everyday ticket requests~

Section 38 Chapter 38 Uruk is arguing again!

The monster Humbaba's body is taller than the cedar that catches the sky, and when it opens its mouth, it will spew murderous poisonous gas and flames, and its shouts are deafening, like the roar of a flood.

Therefore, no human dares to step into the treasure house of the cedar forest.

"Then hunters, do you know that the treasure house of the cedar forest not only preserves the offerings of human beings, but also imprisons the wisdom of human beings, and your courage to resist the gods will be locked there." Seven nights after collecting the pigeon eggs to the hunter.

"What are you talking about?!" The hunter panicked until his face turned pale, and he quickly shook his hand, "Sage of Uruk, what are you talking about? How can you say something that goes against the gods."

It seems that it is another human being who knows the majesty of gods...

Qiye glanced at the panicked hunter, and ended the topic that made the hunter feel uneasy. In this era of the supremacy of the gods, speaking against the gods can be said to be a taboo existence.

Not everyone is like Gilgamesh, arrogant and arrogant to rebel against the gods.

"Come on, take me to the clay figurine you mentioned."

"Okay, but I don't know where it is, but it often drinks water with animals in a pond that is thousands of meters away. Maybe we can see it in the pond over there." The leading hunter began to lead the way. , and took Qiye to the pond where the clay figurines often go.

After Qiye left Uruk for one night, Uruk became noisy again!

But this time, it wasn't Gilgamesh's ghost, but the canal created by Qiye.

In a short period of one night, a huge river appeared inexplicably between the cities of Uruk and Kusa...

This incredible situation was like a spreading virus, quickly spreading to the whole of Mesopotamia. The residents of Uruk and Kusa were the first to know about this canal.

Residents of these two cities are having a heated discussion about which **** made the move and why that **** created such a river.

Although the gods have never done anything for human beings... but a river of this scale appeared overnight, no matter how you think it can only be done by gods.

So the residents of the two cities are talking about it.

The residents were talking about the river, and the nobles and priests of Uruk were in the palace, because the king of Kish city sent a clay tablet this morning, and the contents of the tablet made their faces solemn.

Gilgamesh was sitting on the throne of the Divine Tower Palace, and in front of him stood dozens of groups dressed in high-level costumes. They were composed of high-level priests and high-level nobles of Uruk.

This time, the palace was full of highly respected people from Urukde, and their expressions were so solemn and solemn, as if they had encountered some major crisis.

In fact, they really encountered a major crisis, and even the inexplicable gully could not attract their attention.

The priests with solemn expressions and the nobles glanced at the seat next to Gilgamesh. Originally, there was only one seat in the palace, which symbolized the position of the king.

But now... next to the place where Gilgamesh was sitting, I don't know when another place was added, this place was flush with Gilgamesh's throne, and it was made of exactly the same material as his throne.

Priests and nobles don't need to guess what this position is for, because they know very well that this is what Gilgamesh prepared for the sage who 'witches the crowd'.

To sit on an equal footing and share Uruk together... It's so ridiculous!

But the priests and nobles didn't put their minds on the extra throne either. Their minds are now all on the clay tablet.

That is the clay tablet that arrived in Uruk this morning, and it was passed from the city of Kish.

Gilgamesh, holding his chin, turned to the clay tablet placed beside him, and with a sneer in his scarlet eyes, he said, "Chief priest, tell us the contents of the clay tablet given to us by the king of Kish."

"Okay, King." Siduri came up respectfully and picked up the tablet full of words. She stood beside Gilgamesh, facing the people in front of her, and began to read the tablet. content on.

"I, King of Kish, Aga, son of Enmebala Geshe, issued an order in the name of 'the most powerful country in the north of Sumer', ordering the city of Uruk to send half of its labor to our country, responsible for digging small wells and deep wells With the water well..."

Siduri's gentle and melodious voice was very pleasant, but the content of her words made the faces of the priests and nobles gloomy, and the soldiers on the side couldn't help showing anger.

"Too deceiving..." A soldier couldn't help but murmured.

Kish, like Uruk, is a city.

But there are also places that are different from Uruk, that is, Kish is the lord of the big state and has power and power. The king of Kish did not want to contribute to the construction of water conservancy projects for himself, so he gave it to the now weak Wu. Luke gave the order.

Trying to take out Uruk's general labor force.

If half of Uruk's labor force was taken away, then this would undoubtedly be a traumatic situation for Uruk.

"...If Uruk refuses our country's order, then our country will send a large army to approach in ten days, capture Uruk, enslave the residents and nobles, and take away all property and identity."

Siduri read out the last contents of the tablet, and stopped talking. She lowered her eyes and stood quietly beside Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh sat on the throne. He glanced at the people in front of him with his chin on his back. The priests and nobles only had low expressions on their faces, showing uneasy expressions, but did not show anger or dissatisfaction.

'Tsk, these old guys, if they didn't take out labor, but half of the property of nobles and priests, they would definitely jump up now. ’

Gilgamesh, who was smacking his lips inwardly, looked away, and his scarlet eyes moved to the soldiers behind him.

Gilgamesh was satisfied with the soldiers who showed anger. Compared with priests and nobles who showed compromise, he preferred soldiers who were **** and knew how to resist dissatisfaction.

"You all know the contents of the clay tablet now, so what do you think?" Gilgamesh sat upright, his eyes narrowed, "Kish's King Agga is contemptuous, order, and intend to enslave us Uruk."

"Faced with the King of Kish who has insulted us, should we surrender to the King of Kish, or will we fight against it!"

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Live and die with Uruk!

Although the priests and nobles were a little used to Gilgamesh's speeches that made them tremble from time to time, when they heard Gilgamesh's order to resist [Kish], they couldn't help but be scared. Break out in a cold sweat.

"King, this is absolutely impossible!"

The nobles who were accustomed to the comfort immediately persuaded them, and one of the old men in noble robes said, "Kish's army is incomparably powerful and unmatched. If we Uruk resist rashly, we will only bring shame on ourselves. ."

"I also agree that the king of Kish has the kingship granted by the gods, and we Uruk should obey them and accept his orders."

"That's right, the country of Kish is so powerful and invincible. If Uruk chooses to resist, then after the defeat, not only half of the labor force, but us, including the king, will be reduced to Kish's slave."

This era is very barbaric. If there is a war between two countries, the side that is completely defeated will become the spoils of the victorious side, and everything of the losing side will belong to the victorious side.

Food, treasure, property, slaves, workers, residents, even priests and nobles, all of these will be obtained by the victorious side.

So the priests and nobles, who are used to comfort and happiness, would rather Uruk be taken out of half of the labor force than let Uruk go to war with Kish.

Because... they felt that the weak Uruk would lose.

Ah, no, I don't think so, but definitely!

Hearing these weak persuasion, Gilgamesh's expression gradually became cold and handsome, and an inexplicable chill rose in the persuader's heart. They knew that Gilgamesh was angry, but so what...

It's really impossible to start a war!

"King, since you took the throne, Uruk has been noisy, but everyone is enjoying peace and prosperity. We should now value peace and not start a war because of a moment's anger and let Uruk fall into In the abyss of war!"

"Enough, a bunch of idiots." The irritable Gilgamesh stood up, he took the clay tablet in Siduri's hand, and smashed it viciously in front of the group of priests and nobles, "This king ordered labor force What do you old folks say when you go to dig canals, irrigate farmland, and facilitate trade."

"Speaking of hurting Uruk's muscles and bones, let this king give up this idea, now, the king of Kish threw a clay tablet over here, and you old guys directly agreed to his order and sent half of the labor to Kish, let's break our nerves in Uruk."

Facing Gilgamesh's angry scolding, the priests and nobles kept silent, and showed... a hint of shame.

Seemingly aware of Gilgamesh's decision to rebel against Kish's order, one of the nobles also thought that the bad situation could be saved, so he said weakly, "King, I think..."

"This king doesn't want you to think so!"

Gilgamesh arrogantly interrupted the nobleman's words, and he pointedly pointed at the broken clay tablet on the floor, "This king will make Kish's army shatter like a clay tablet!"

"So, this matter does not need to be discussed, listen to this king, and this king alone has the final say!"

Hearing Gilgamesh's arrogant remarks, the faces of the priests and nobles turned bitter. This time Gilgamesh's turmoil is not just causing them trouble... It's really a disaster for their net worth. life.

At this time, Siduri came up. She faced Gilgamesh and said respectfully, "King, as the king of Uruk, you can't do it your way, because you are not alone in deciding Uruk's fate."

And when everyone heard the words of Chief Priest Siduri, they immediately looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Then Siduri continued to speak slowly while Gilgamesh frowned, "When the views of the king, the priests and the nobles are at odds with each other, when they are at a stalemate, they should go to a public meeting to see Uru. How the people of Grams choose."

After Gilgamesh heard about it, he looked at the soldiers behind him, "Soldiers, have you heard what the chief priest said, then tell this king loudly now that you are..."

"Bow your knees to Kish's royal family, or raise your arms to meet them!"

The soldiers who showed anger and fighting intent raised their heads, and they said decisively, "Let's face it! Live and die with Uruk!"

"Ha...hahahahaha!" Gilgamesh laughed wanton while holding his forehead, his expression distorted from overjoyedness.

Under Gilgamesh's hearty laughter, the priests and nobles who just wanted to enjoy peace and happiness turned pale, and could not help but take a few steps back.

"Hmph." Gilgamesh restrained his smile, and then snorted coldly. He glared at the nobles who had stepped back, "Did you hear, weak nobles, this is Uruk's choice!"

……

The major meeting about the fate of Uruk ended in this way. The priests and nobles took some vain steps and left the palace above the tower in a trance.

The matter of resisting Kish's orders and going to war with Kish is already a fait accompli, so the restless priests and nobles can only obediently cooperate with Gilgamesh and go all out to fight against Kish's army.

After Uruk's priests and nobles left the palace, Siduri looked at Gilgamesh with a solemn expression, "King, are you serious about fighting Kish, and have you thought about losing? The situation after that."

"Chief priest, this king is of course serious, and..." Gilgamesh's lips curled up, revealing a arrogant smile, "This king never thought that Uruk would lose, we Uruk have impregnable The city walls, and the strong and heroic warriors, do not need to fear them!"

"If there is something to think about... it should be thinking about what to do with Kish after Uruk defeated Kish."

Siduri sighed. In fact, she didn't really believe what Gilgamesh said, because at this time, Kish's comprehensive combat power was several times higher than that of Ulu.

"Wang, when you are full of confidence, I should say something to calm you down."

The chief priest Siduri said in a low voice, "We stick to Uruk, maybe we can use the built city wall to resist Kish's army, but it is not equivalent to completely capture Kish, so we can't get it from Kish. What, just let Uruk bleed in vain."

"That's enough." Gilgamesh lifted his hair, and he sneered, "Let Kish's army, Uruk's priests and nobles, let them know that this king's enslaved workers established the The city wall can withstand the attack of the enemy."

"Actually, that's enough."

Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person...

Gilgamesh enslaved workers and slaves and asked them to build the city wall for Uruk every day and night. This inexplicable move has always puzzled and dissatisfied the priests and nobles of Uruk.

If Uruk's city walls can resist the mighty Kish army, then the people of Uruk will be relieved at why Gilgamesh tried so hard to build the city walls.

It turns out that the tyrant is not just oppressing them for nothing, the reason why he oppresses them is to defend against foreign enemies and protect Uruk.

Looking at the arrogant (full of confidence) Gilgamesh, Siduri shook her head, "King, since Uruk has decided to fight Kish, you should pay attention to one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Some priests and nobles were reduced to slaves because they were worried that Uruk would be defeated, their property was taken away, and they might run away overnight with their families."

"This king naturally knows."

Some people did not have the idea of ​​coexisting with Uruk, so they fled Uruk with the property they looted, as well as their family members. In this way, even if Uruk was defeated by Kish, then they Nor will he become a slave to Kish, nor will his property be taken away by Kish.

The chief priest Siduri also left the palace. Gilgamesh was alone in the palace. He was used to being alone, but he glanced at the vacant throne next to him, and there was a sense of emptiness in his heart. .

"You are the only one who can talk to this king without fear... Hmph, when did this king become so boring, and he wanted to find someone to discuss the war with Kish."

Gilgamesh also left the palace, because the war was about to start, and he had to see the situation around Uruk himself.

As for the Seven Nights remembered by Gilgamesh, he and the hunters have now come to a pond in the forest.

Fortunately, the clay figurine described by the hunter is here.

"Lord Sage, look, it's it, it's what I call a clay demon and a clay figurine." The hunter with a somewhat nervous expression lowered his voice and pointed to the direction beside the pond.

Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked over. There was a clay figurine on the edge of the pond. It had a roughly human shape, but its body was formed like mud, and it did not have a clear face and slender fingers.

Although it seems to be formed by the accumulation of silt, the overall body of the clay figurine has no flaws, and it is perfect to the point of impeccable.

This is the perfect weapon made by the hands of the gods.

However, since they do not possess the same spirit or emotion as humans, they are basically the same as wild beasts.

Around the clay figurines, there are antelopes and other animals gathered together. These animals are not afraid of the strange clay figurines, and they all drink water by the pond where the clay figurines are.

With just one glance, Qiye could see the extraordinaryness of this clay figurine, but he only knew its extraordinaryness, and it was unclear whether it was a lock of heaven created by the gods.

So the next step is to confirm. As for how to confirm... This is too simple. As long as Qiye takes a bite of the clay figurine and swallows it, then you will naturally know the origin of the clay figurine.

Because the soil will tell Qiye everything.

Qiye turned his head to look at the uneasy hunter beside him, and said, "You can leave now, I will fight the clay figurine later, so I have no time to worry about your safety."
