【Shine】Vital

Passing through the long and narrow desert area, you can enter the range of the North Winterwood Battlefield.

Sitting on the military vehicle, Enkidu rested his head on his hands and looked at the scenery outside.

This piece of land is hilly, and the small plains that have been opened up have become the main battlefield. The Fuyuki River that runs across the entire Fuyuki area in the middle divides the empire and the alliance into two, facing each other across the river, and staring at each other.

The place they arrived is not the front line. In view of the fact that after two years of short peacetime rest, there are signs that the alliance is about to move again recently, the upper management has long decided to put Gilgamesh (incomplete version) in the rear to act as a deterrent, but now Gilgamesh Meishi (full version) is more lethal, so he will be transferred to the front line. If there is an accident, he will directly cooperate with Enkidu to fight - with Ningsun's classic battle back then as the foreshadowing, and the tower's military training results as a guarantee, the upper-level opponents Enkidu has certain confidence in his fighting power.

As for Gilgamesh?

Oh, this uncle (incomplete version) is a dangerous person who can single-handedly defeat the southern front of the North Fuyuki battlefield, so there is no need to worry about combat effectiveness.

The person who came to greet them was Gilgamesh's adjutant Aga. Like Ishtar, this black-haired man was from Uruk, Gilgamesh's hometown. Mixed with each other, except for anthropologists and historical researchers, it is difficult for anyone to clearly identify the ethnicity of the residents walking on the street.

Or maybe it’s just like this, the empire is exceptionally tolerant, and all kinds of heterogeneous people can live without restraint—not counting sentinels and guides, they are soldiers, and there are even regulations on fertility indicators during wars— The war with the alliance has been protracted and has reached an annoying level. Ning Sun once revealed at dinner that the high-level leaders are determined to end this war that has lasted for nearly 50 years.

Enkidu stood straight, looking into the distance, he could vaguely smell the bloody smell and gunpowder smoke buried deep in the ground.

This is war.

Not to plunder food and maintain survival, but to show off force, strength, and try to get more rights, and let this land be full of desperate wailing.

He stared indifferently at the front, and the wind raised his long green hair and white windbreaker high, like an indifferent and independent half-closed god statue, with a cold and hard side face.

Gilgamesh watched him until Enkidu followed his gaze and looked back.

The moment he met the blood-red pupils, the man who looked like a doll slowly smiled, even his eyes were bent, and the slender eyelashes attached to the corners of his eyes, showing a pure joyful smile.

Ahhh what fun.

Gilgamesh was very interested, and even looked at Enkidu with a little malice. He deliberately ignored the sound of his heart beating fiercely for a moment, and only thought that Enkidu was the most interesting human being in his life in the past twenty years. .

He lives as indifferently as a tool, no, that's not even called "living", without desire - how can this be called life?

It's boring and sad, just like this person walking aimlessly in the wilderness, not even knowing what he wants, and then until he rots and his body turns into dry bones.

But when he looked at Gilgamesh, perhaps he didn't even notice it, like a withered branch sprouting a new branch-the man, filled with vitality in an instant, began to look like a human being.He looked at him with extremely focused and pure eyes, as if projecting his heart to the only one person.

But at the end of the day, can humans repay dolls for their pure hearts?

Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms across his chest.

Because he knew how unrealistic what Enkidu wanted was, so he was delighted by the man's gesture of stretching out his hand to get it even though he knew it was impossible—he didn't hate human beings struggling for what they wanted. This is the reason why the human world has progressed (or fallen).

Well, let's observe and observe again, it's rare to meet such an interesting guy, maybe it can be used as a pastime to pass the time.

Thinking this way, he didn't mind Enkidu's straightforward and pure gaze, and calmly left his back to Enkidu, turned and walked into the camp.

Aga gave a military salute to Gilgamesh, who walked in swaggeringly, lay down on the seat, and signaled Aga to continue with his chin.

Aga stood up straight, and continued to report the situation without glancing at Gilgamesh's military boots on the low table out of the corner of the eye.

"...Three months ago, Lieutenant Colonel Emiya Kiritsugu discovered the movement of the alliance on the western front, and suffered a level-[-] mental attack. At that time, his guide, Mrs. Alice Fell, rushed to repel the comer. According to the mental frequency And the weapons used should be the third army of the alliance. They passed through the Yisi Plain, lurking in the upper reaches of the Fuyumu River, and have been..."

Enkidu stood behind Gilgamesh. He had not yet been approved to join the army, so he could not wear a military uniform for the time being. Instead, he wore a white windbreaker with a belt around his waist, which made his legs very long. Ishtar Er sat below, his eyes were as vicious and sharp as a knife.

Enkidu turned a blind eye, his eyes blanked in a daze - anyway, when he followed Gilgamesh, after the first combination, his abilities were not yet fully utilized, so the strategic significance of his own actions was not great.

Thinking this way, he scanned Mr. Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table sitting near the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it might be Miss Artoria, the commander of the knights, who ordered him to come.

The Knights of the Round Table are directly ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, but I heard that Miss Artoria doesn't like Gilgamesh very much, so they seldom come to the Rhea troops led by Gilgamesh.

Probably because this deployment will join forces with the Knights, so Lancelot, the second core figure of the Knights, was sent.

Enkidu guessed that this time it would be a big battle. Since the war began more than 50 years ago, the Rhea troops and the Knights have rarely been united. These two armies can be called the strongest in the empire. They are the strongest defense lines of the empire... It really shows that the upper echelon attaches great importance to this battle and wants to settle it once and for all.

Enkidu withdrew his gaze and continued to be in a daze.

When he came to his senses, the meeting was over, and Gilgamesh was standing, with the sharp lines of his military uniform wrapping his body, pointing his finger at a corner of the map, obviously thinking about something.

Enki didn't want to disturb him and was about to leave, but he heard Gilgamesh say to him lightly.

"Go back and get ready."

"……what?"

"Go back and get ready." Gilgamesh still didn't leave the map, "Combine tonight, and then go deep into my spiritual world. I don't care what methods you use to suppress all the factors that may cause mental riots. We're going out the next day, secretly."

Hearing his business-like tone, Enkidu was not used to it, but he still nodded calmly, "I see, then I'll go back to the tent first."

Gilgamesh gave a casual hum, and drew a circle on the map with a red pen.
