I, Son of Tiamat

"Well, this king naturally knows." Gilgamesh wiped away the tears from laughing, and he looked at Qiye, "Are you really going to be responsible for making gunpowder by yourself? Although this king also knows that gunpowder cannot leak out. , but one person can't make a lot of gunpowder."

"Who do you think I am?" Qiye stomped his feet, and the ground beside him wriggled, and the wriggling ground formed a mud puppet-like thing.

Qiye looked sideways at the clay puppet that appeared beside him, "I can make clay change as an assistant. Although they have no intelligence, they will strictly follow my orders to act, so if they make gunpowder, it is The worker who reassures me the most."

"This is indeed a manpower problem." Gilgamesh nodded, "But what about the materials, do you plan to solve it by yourself?"

"Shells, sulfur, feces, these three things, Jill, you can help me solve them, I'll just take care of the charcoal material myself."

The manufacture of gunpowder must require the four things that Seven Nights said. After gunpowder comes into the world, people with a heart will definitely find the materials needed to make gunpowder, so Seven Nights will secretly be in charge of charcoal, and let Gilgamesh go for the other three things. Responsible.

Even if others knew about shells, sulfur, and feces, they would still be unable to make gunpowder without charcoal.

Section 49 Chapter 48 Uruk, the storm is about to come.

The atmosphere of Uruk has once again returned to the former enthusiasm, radiating a strong vitality, dispelling the previous heavy atmosphere.

Since the weapon of gunpowder appeared, the residents of Uruk are now full of confidence in the next war. Because of gunpowder, no one in Uruk will question the sage of Seven Nights now.

Especially those priests and nobles, as soon as they saw Qiye, they came over with great enthusiasm, and their mouths kept coming out of all kinds of flattering words that made people goosebumps.

In fact, the real purpose is to have a good relationship, and then see if you can get a way to make gunpowder from Nanye.

Because of the black powder, Qiye turned into a sweet pastry in an instant. He avoided these things with great trouble, while Gilgamesh smiled like a schadenfreude.

"Hahahahaha~ Now Qiye, you know why this king beats them with whips, because if you don't beat them, they will haunt you shamelessly."

The undisguised laughter of Gilgamesh came from the palace above the tower, and Qiye, who was sitting in the seat, gave Gilgamesh a blank look, "Don't tell me about them, now I'm annoyed when I hear it, Sai. Miramis is also very annoying, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit every day, she hates outsiders to step into our home the most."

"So, didn't this king ask you two to move to the palace, so they wouldn't visit you." Gilgamesh pointed to a direction of the palace and said.

"Forget it, I'm not from the royal family." Qiye waved his hand.

"Hmph, although the sages of Uruk are not the royal family of Uruk, half of Uruk belongs to you, so this palace also has half of yours."

Qiye glanced at the extremely generous King of Uruk, "Stop talking about these meaningless things, let's get down to business. What about the throwing soldiers I asked you to train, how are they doing?"

"Seven hundred throwing soldiers, lifting five kilograms of boulders, can accurately hit the target at a distance of 100 meters." Gilgamesh showed a proud smile, "And I also ordered the gunpowder sling. The people from the Ministry of Industry went to build it.”

Because gunpowder is very dangerous, once it explodes, it will be indistinguishable between the enemy and the enemy, so some soldiers who are not afraid of death have to be trained and let them throw these powerful weapons at the enemy's army.

Throwing soldiers and catapults have to be prepared.

Hearing Gilgamesh's response, Qiye nodded slightly, "I have prepared the black powder for the war, so now, only Kish's army is left."

"By the way, Jill, after you closed Uruk, is there any trouble in the city?"

"There are a few, but they were all thrown into the cell by this king." Gilgamesh said in a nonchalant tone.

In order to prevent the news of gunpowder from being brought out of Uruk, Gilgamesh directly ordered the soldiers to prohibit travelers and merchants from leaving Uruk, and to arrange accommodation for them in Uruk.

Although there is a place to live, but can't leave this city that is about to fall into war, those travelers and businessmen will naturally have dissatisfaction and panic.

After the dissatisfaction and panic, there was resistance... However, the rebels were quickly caught by Gilgamesh's soldiers and thrown into the cell.

At the moment when the war broke out, in order to keep the information of gunpowder and to keep Kish from knowing the existence of gunpowder, Gilgamesh could ignore the resistance of those people, and if he caught one who dared to resist, he would just imprison the other.

"I haven't messed around for a long time. They seem to have forgotten that I am a tyrant." Gilgamesh said with a sneer, and Qiye shook his head helplessly.

In an extraordinary period, it was treated in an extraordinary way. Although it was a bit brutal to directly imprison the rebellious travelers and merchants, it was understandable to be able to keep the gunpowder information and catch Kish's army by surprise.

"Then what about the prostitutes who let the clay figurines unlock their intellect? Have you decided on who to choose?" Qiye asked.

"Of course, this king has already decided on the candidate yesterday. It's Shanhant, the prostitute. That beautiful priestess set off yesterday. Maybe it will bring us good news in ten days. ' said Gilgamesh, rubbing his chin.

"Let the priestess unlock the clay figurine's intelligence is only the first step, we have to let the lock of the sky fall in love with Uruk, as long as it knows the prosperity and vitality of Uruk, then it will naturally not The tyrannical king of Uruk [The Wedge of the Sky] has been disciplined."

"Hmph, that being said, but this king really wants to see the lock of heaven created by the gods to discipline this king, and see what kind of power it has." Gilgamesh's face showed eagerness to try. expression.

Qiye smacked his lips, "If you want to have a fight with it, just fight it, anyway, you don't know each other if you don't fight, and if you don't agree with other people's strength, you won't give other people a good look."

"Hey, sage of Uruk, you are smearing this king!"

"Oh? Don't the tyrants of Uruk think what I said is the truth?"

"Although what you said makes sense, this king has objections."

There was a loud noise from Uruk's palace again, and the soldiers guarding outside the palace gate smiled knowingly. Today, the tyrants and sages of Uruk are still so noisy.

Unlike the lively atmosphere of Uruk, the city of Kish was full of chills. Because of Uruk's outrageous resistance to the order, the king of Kish, Aga, was furious.

As the most powerful kingdom in southern Mesopotamia, Kish, even the city of Nippur, the **** of the gods, would not dare to refuse his orders.

But now a little Uruk dared to resist his Aga's order, so the King Aga of Kish was angry. After learning that Uruk rebelled against his order and smashed the clay tablet of the order, he He began to mobilize most of the army, intending to let the army that he was proud of to flatten Uruk.

Aga, the king of Kish, sat on the throne. His face was rough and majestic. Because of his anger and dissatisfaction, his face was a little distorted, which made people tremble.

"This king, Aga, will personally lead the army to crusade against Uruk, and will flatten the city of Uruk that dared to resist Kish. Therefore, when this king is not in Kish, all the affairs of the city will be temporarily handed over to this king. sons and priests to take charge."

When the priest on the side heard Aga say such words, he quickly said respectfully, "Understood, but King, does the 'children' you mentioned include that 'Itisa'?"

After the priest mentioned the three words 'Itisha', the king of Kish, Aga, clearly showed a trace of disgust and disgust, "Although she is the blood of this king, it is only after this king is drunk that he has **** with him. Things made by lowly commoners are not qualified to step into the palace for half a step."

"Understood."

Chapter 50 Chapter 49 The army is coming and I think...

After Uruk rejected Kish's brutal order, Kish's army had already approached Uruk in less than ten days, let alone half a month.

There are three reasons why Kish's army was so fast.

First, in this mythological age, there is a powerful magic in the air, so the body of the living people is very strong, so the pace of progress is fast.

Second, the distance between Kish and Uruk is not very far. After two days and one night on the road, you can reach Uruk from Kish.

Third, the king of Kish, Aga, did not let the army bring a lot of food, but only let everyone bring a day's food...

Because the king of Kish, Aga, and his army believed that as long as they rushed to the vicinity of Uruk, they would deter the weak Uruk with a huge and majestic posture, making them fearful, and finally eat the food for the next day. , to crush Uruk with great fanfare.

It only took half a day for King Aga of Kish to think that they could crush Uruk once. After capturing Uruk, they would naturally be able to eat a lot in Uruk.

So there is no need to bring so much food.

Kish's strong army arrived in the area under the jurisdiction of Uruk, and the soldiers who were dispatched to station in Uruk immediately discovered this endless army.

When the soldiers of Uruk clearly saw the flag held by the army, his face turned pale, he immediately ran away, and began to return to Uruk, and conveyed the news that the Kish army had arrived to King Yuxian of Uruk. By.

Kish's flag is a pattern of a man holding a three-pronged spear in both hands, hunting a sharp-clawed eagle, which symbolizes Kish's urban god, and the city's urban **** is the **** of war 'Ninurta'.

The soldiers of Uruk returned to the city of Uruk, and hurriedly climbed the tower of Uruk and came to the palace.

"King! Kish's army has reached the border line, and it is estimated that it will soon come to our periphery!"

Gilgamesh, who was handling the tablet, did not panic, but threw the tablet in his hand and stood up, he said happily, "It's finally here, right? Then follow this king to rectify the army. , start preparing for a fight with Kish's army."

"Yes!"

The Uruk soldiers in the palace excitedly complied with Gilgamesh's order, followed behind Gilgamesh, and left the palace resolutely.

As for Seven Nights, the sage of Uruk, he is now playing with Semiramis at home with a young pigeon. This pigeon is the pigeon egg he brought back from the highland woods in the previous seven nights.

After a few days of care by Semiramis, that pigeon egg quickly hatched into a young bird.

"This pigeon was so ugly when it was a child." Semiramis poked the young pigeon's head with his light-white index finger. Although it was a jab, it was very gentle, and he used the belly of his index finger to poke it, not his nails. to poke.

Young pigeons are indeed quite ugly, with yellowish and messy young hair, big, bulging eyes, and long beaks...

"Well~ a bird looks like this when it just broke out of its shell. When it grows up and sheds its hair, it will become beautiful." Qiye said with a smile.

"By the way, Semiramis, what do the little pigeons eat?"

Semiramis looked at Qiye, she blinked her golden eyes, "Are you asking what it eats, or are you asking me what it eats."

"...Of course it is, you are no longer a little pigeon." Qiye responded to the strange question of Semiramis, dumbfounded.

"Hmph~ If Qiye asked me what I ate when I was young, I would tell you that I was fed dirt by someone when I was a child, and he almost killed me." Semiramis wrinkled at Qiye. nose.

"Cough...Aren't you living a healthy life now, don't worry about those things when you were a child." Qiye, who was coughing, looked away.

"No, I will never forget what happened when I was a child. Although there are some bad memories, there are also sweet memories." Semiramis pursed the corners of her lips, her first meal. It was the milk that Qiye personally fed with her mouth, a memory she would never forget.

"As for what the young pigeons eat, I know it's the pigeon's milk."

"Huh?" Qiye turned his head subtly to look at Semiramis and asked, "Pigeon's milk? Are you sure that pigeon stuff still has milk?"

"Of course, you are not familiar with pigeons, so of course you don't know what 'pigeon's milk' is. I know very well." Semiramis became a little proud.

As soon as he heard something he had never eaten, Qiye's black and white eyes lit up, "Semiramis, I think..."

"Don't think about it, pigeon milk is not cow's milk, goat's milk, donkey's milk, don't ask me to get it for you." Semiramis rolled his eyes for Qiye.

Semiramis knew him better than Qiye herself, so when Qiye said "I want to", she instantly knew that Qiye wanted to eat pigeon milk.

"Hmph, if you don't do it, I'll find a way to do it myself."

"Oh~ Qiye, let me guess, are you going to look for pigeon's milk in the pigeon's chest, but I tell you ~ pigeon's milk is not in the pigeon's chest." Semiramis faced Seven nights showed a sly smile.

"…"

Pigeon's milk is not in the pigeon's chest? where would that be...

Just when Qiye was struggling with this inexplicable problem, there was an extremely hasty knock on the door of their house.

After the knock on the door, the Uruk soldier said loudly, "Lord Sage! Kish's army has arrived near Uruk, and the king ordered me to inform you."

After hearing this sentence, Semiramis' sly smile paused for a moment, and she slowly lowered her eyes, rubbing the young pigeon's head with her fingertips, and said softly, "Qiye, you Be careful."

Semiramis knew that she couldn't stop Qiye from going to the battlefield, and couldn't convince Qiye to let her go to the battlefield together, so she could only wait at home for Qiye's safe return.

"Well~ I'll be careful." Qiye smiled confidently, "After all, there is a little pigeon waiting for me at home."

The 'little pigeon' here, whether Seven Nights refers to Semiramis or the young pigeon that just broke out of the shell, perhaps only Semiramis knows.

In fact... Seven Nights as the son of Tiamat is very special. As long as the sea is not completely polluted and the land is not submerged by the sea, then no matter what kind of attack he suffers, he can survive very well.

Is the endless sea completely polluted? The vast expanse of the earth is submerged by the sea?

Can these two things be achieved?

Of course, it is impossible to achieve~ So the present Seven Nights is an existence that can never die~

That... the pigeons really have milk [the novel expression of the same style as the protagonist]

Chapter 51 Chapter 50 Behind us is Uruk!

Everyone in the city of Uruk mobilized. Women and children went into the house to hide, while the strong men spontaneously followed the rear of Uruk's army and stood with the soldiers in the ring. above the city [wall].

Although Gilgamesh found out that the resident was following, he did not stop it. Anyway, the war would end soon.

Gilgamesh led a group of Uruk soldiers to the city wall. In their distance, just a hundred meters away, was Kish's army.

They stopped a few hundred meters away from Uruk City, out of the range of the bow and arrow. In the plain in front of Uruk, Kish's army was piled up.

The innumerable number of enemies made Uruk's soldiers heart beat faster and their hands and feet sweat.

Because the number of enemies is really too many.

After witnessing these enemies, Gilgamesh was arrogant and did not feel timid, but muttered to himself, "If everything goes well, Uruk will not suffer a single casualty. , completely defeat Kish's army."

At this time, a slightly smiling voice came from Gilgamesh's side.

"Of course it will go well. Jill, you will have to start thinking about whether there are enough cells for Kish's army."

This is the voice of the sages of Uruk.

Gilgamesh couldn't help turning around and looked in the direction of the voice. The Uruk soldiers behind him also looked at the sage with their king.

The sage was still wearing a pure white robe printed with doves, and his overly slender black hair was hanging down and draped behind his back. It was obvious that the war was about to start, and his black and white eyes were still so calm and gentle. A trace of anxiety and unease.

Looking at that gentle and gentle figure, the Uruk soldiers felt a little bit of timidity and anxiety in their hearts, and they all began to calm down.

Compared with the king of Uruk, this sage who has developed a terrible weapon seems to be able to make the soldiers of Uruk feel at ease~

Gilgamesh looked at Qiye with black hair and white robes, and he grinned, "Sage, this king thought you were going to have stage fright."

"How is that possible, Uruk is my home with everyone." Nanye smiled at Gilgamesh.
