After all, no one knows if Xia Die might have any tricks up her sleeve.
Smoke billowed everywhere, and the two men's immense power cleared a hundred-meter radius around them, leaving no trace of any magical beasts. However, the survivors in the distance were also in dire straits.
They were just ordinary people after all. Even if they mustered the courage to fight against the monsters, there was a fundamental difference between them and the monsters in terms of both combat power and numbers.
In a short time, the survivors' team also began to suffer casualties. After all, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Even if you kill them, you still can't beat them. This world is not the kind of idealistic world where you can overcome strength with so-called perseverance and miracles. The fragility of the human body was vividly displayed on the battlefield.
Claws pierced his chest, and blood splattered everywhere.
Meanwhile, Ushiwakamaru's team was also entangled by a large group of monsters and unable to break free.
"Damn it, if only Leonidas were here."
Seeing this, Ushiwakamaru gritted his teeth. This kind of army-based warfare was clearly more suitable for the other side, but the other side was currently guarding the northern defense line and could not get away.
However, just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to deal with the monster in front of her as soon as possible, golden light suddenly flashed in the sky.
"Oops..."
Thinking it was an attack, Ushiwakamaru instinctively assumed a defensive stance.
But in the next moment, those golden flashes fell from the sky like raindrops.
boom! boom! boom!
The bombardment was incessant, and dust flew everywhere. When Ushiwakamaru came to his senses, he found that most of the monsters around him had been wiped out.
The giant lions beside him and Mu Xiu and Hu Xiu all had huge blood holes in their bodies, and they were clearly not going to live.
In an instant, the pressure on this side decreased dramatically, and Ushiwakamaru successfully reunited with the survivors.
"Quickly, keep moving forward, don't stop!"
Ushiwakamaru waved his hand and killed the monster that was still alive next to the survivor, then guided the survivor toward the city.
With the monsters gone and Ushiwakamaru there to help, the dozens of survivors quickly made it to safety.
Seeing this, Jin Gu snorted coldly in displeasure, knowing that he would probably have to return empty-handed today.
"You've escaped with your life. Next time, I'll definitely kill you!"
After a brief exchange, Jin Gu glanced at Xia Die, then suddenly flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing her formidable enemy depart, Xia Die breathed a sigh of relief before turning her grateful gaze to the proud figure in the sky.
Ishtar, it was they who saved the survivors just now.
"Thank you, Ishtar. If it weren't for your help, these survivors might have suffered heavy losses."
As Ishtar slowly descended to her side, Xia Die smiled and said.
It seems I made the right choice in offering tribute before; I never expected the other party to help me at this critical juncture.
"Huh? Don't get me wrong, I didn't help those people. I was just annoyed by that man's city-state, so I casually threw a few magic bullets to vent my anger! It's just that those magical beasts were unlucky, they just happened... just happened to run into my magic bullets! Yes, that's it!"
After being thanked by Xia Die, a blush spread across Ishtar's cheeks. Her fingers unconsciously twirled around her hair. Looking at Xia Die's sincere eyes, she quickly waved her hand and said proudly.
ps
Please vote for me! Please recommend me! Goodnight everyone, I have to get up at 5 AM, so busy!
Xia Die (Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia): 12: Xia Die's CP!
"Yes, even so, your actions did help us. It was because of your actions that we were able to escape danger. So please accept this; it's just a small token of my appreciation."
As she spoke, Xia Die pulled out another cloth bag from her waist. This time, it contained far more gems than the one she had given to Ishtar last time.
It was a very large and substantial portion.
"Ahem, as a deity, I naturally cannot disappoint my followers. Since this is your kind gesture, I will accept it! Hmph, of course, I will not treat you unfairly. If I happen to find you in danger, I will still not hesitate to lend a helping hand!"
Then you'll give me more gems as tribute; this guy must have even more gems on him...
The thought of emptying Xiaodie's coffers while she herself gained a large number of gems made Ishtar's lips curl into a smile.
As a god, it's alright for him to be a little willful, right?
Meanwhile, seeing Ishtar accept the gem, Xia Die also smiled.
As expected, although she appears as a deity, she actually possesses the body of a kind and tsundere girl when she descends. This results in Ishtar having the spoiled nature of a god, but also possessing a tsundere and kind side after merging with the girl, making her completely different from the goddess of the heavens in mythology.
It seemed that the other party only made a move after receiving her tribute, but in reality, Xia Die was just giving the other party a reason to act with a clear conscience.
A proud and aloof personality can be troublesome, and sometimes being forceful can backfire. However, if you can get the other person's cat in line, things become much simpler.
Speaking of which, Xia Die's current state is actually a bit...unconventional, and Ishtar herself doesn't even realize that she has unknowingly become Xia Die's CP!
"However, I didn't expect you to actually bring so many people this far. That's quite impressive. Oh well, I'm not interested in these humans anyway. I was just venting my anger earlier, really!"
After accepting the gem with a smile, Ishtar seemed to feel that accepting it so openly was beneath her divine dignity, so she quickly changed the subject. However, at the end, she emphasized to Xia Die that she had really just acted casually.
“Yes, I understand, Ishtar means it.”
Xia Die simply smiled politely, but for some reason, Ishtar always felt that the other person had a strange, sarcastic attitude.
But then she thought about it again, and realized, no, this child is her loyal follower, a truly good person! How could she doubt this child!
"Never mind, we'll meet again sometime, my believer~"
After leaving behind a brief message, Ishtar boarded Maana and vanished into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile, Xia Die also entered the city. Looking at the survivors before her, a hint of dejection welled up in her eyes. The original group of over sixty survivors had dwindled to just over forty after the battle...
Although Xia Die understood that she could not completely protect them and was prepared for their deaths, she still couldn't help but show an uncontrollable sadness when death came.
After all, no matter what you go through, death is ultimately a cruel thing.
"Parting always comes so quickly, but you did very well."
Looking at the mangled bodies laid out on the ground, these brave warriors fought valiantly on the battlefield, but all their comrades could bring back were their broken bodies.
Under the minions of monsters, they couldn't even get a decent end.
The perceptive butterfly could sense that although they had died, their souls had not yet gone to the underworld.
"Although I can't do more for you, let me see you off on your final journey."
The butterfly gently reached out and caressed the broken souls that were wandering in the air.
In an instant, their souls dissipated and went to the underworld.
Just then, Xia Die heard a soft sobbing sound. Following the sound, he saw a girl sitting on the ground in despair, and in front of her was a bloody and mangled body.
The monster's claws pierced his chest and shattered his ribs. Although the boy was not completely dead, he was on the verge of death, and with each breath, Xia Die could see his body convulsing violently.
That was the excruciating pain caused by the ribs piercing my lungs.
Xia Die remembered this boy; he was the first survivor she encountered, the boy she snatched from the clutches of death. But his destiny would eventually arrive in another form.
"Rest assured, your efforts have not been in vain. They are safe now. Uruk will protect her until the very last moment of their fall."
Seeing the yearning light in the boy's eyes, Xia Die knew what he was thinking. He just wanted to ask Xia Die if his sister was safe.
After receiving a clear answer from Xia Die, he was visibly relieved.
Consequently, the light in his eyes dimmed considerably.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Go to sleep and you'll feel better after a good night's rest."
The boy's chest heaved violently, each breath aggravating his wounds and causing unbearable pain.
Unfortunately, Xia Die is a saint who brings death, not a bountiful journeyer who brings life. This severe injury is beyond saving.
Therefore, all that Xia Die can do is grant the other party liberation and relieve their suffering.
After gently touching the boy, Xia Die turned and left, ignoring the girl who was breaking down in tears, as well as the slight hatred and confusion in her eyes.
"No explanation needed?"
Anna looked at Xia Die's somewhat forlorn figure and couldn't help but say something.
"No need, she'll figure it out. Besides, she needs an emotional release right now."
Xia Die shook her head and said softly.
"Fine, whatever, it's none of my business anyway."
Anna pursed her lips, seemingly indifferent, but her small figure still stayed close to Xia Die's side. Although she couldn't touch her, she seemed to be using a special method to warm Xia Die's heart and soul.
"I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment, but... Miss Xia Die, Anna, you should come with me to see King Gilgamesh."
Just as the two maintained this tacit silence, Merlin walked over, waved to them, and said with a smile.
"I know, I know!"
Anna glanced at Merlin and said unhappily. When she walked up to him, she couldn't help but jump up and kick him in the knee.
"Ouch."
Xia Die (Absolute Demonic Front: Battlefront!): 13: I didn't care about Xia Die at all!
Despite having some prior knowledge of Uruk from the anime, Xia Die was still particularly surprised by the scenery along the way.
It's incredible that such a magnificent city existed thousands of years ago.
The market was bustling with activity, a cacophony of languages. Even in this apocalyptic world, the city's order had not collapsed; on the contrary, it was thriving. In everyone's eyes shone a confidence that their king would lead them to final victory.
To be honest, Xia Die was quite shocked when she saw this scene. It was because she had witnessed tragedies in other cities that she was so shocked by this city.
After all, compared to the devastation in other cities, this city had a thriving scene, without the slightest chaos. It should be noted that the troubles brought about by war are much more serious than in peacetime.
Only after arriving here did Xia Die realize just how outrageous this so-called wise king Shan truly was.
After climbing thousands of steps, Xia Die, led by Mei Lin, entered a grand hall.
After entering the gate, what you see is a magnificent palace.
Ancient murals showcase the prosperity of the nation's history. On the dignified throne, a handsome man with his upper body bare leans back, handling official business in an orderly manner. His pace is so fast that even the servants below can hardly keep up.
After seeing Merlin come out, he casually put the clay tablet in his hand aside, then rested his cheek on his hand and looked at Xia Die and Anna.
A pair of crimson eyes scrutinized Xia Die, her mind lost in thought.
