I'm really not an old sword

"Praise humanity~"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought so too.

Humans do not have sharp claws or strong bodies, and are far weaker than the beasts in nature.

But relying on courage and wisdom, humans have grown step by step into the king of primates.

Even now, facing an almost impossible-to-defeat wave of monsters, countless people, knowing they will die, are still brave enough to keep their loved ones alive.

However, looking at those people who were more or less risking their lives to resist monsters that were much stronger than them, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly thought of Lin Qingsu.

My heart suddenly went from being touched, excited, sad, to feeling completely miserable.

"Everyone does his job."

"Hmm?" Merlin tilted his head and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"fine."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head, feeling increasingly uncomfortable as he watched the scene below.

This is what Lin Qingsu said to her.

Before they fell out, Lin Qingsu told him this when he was taking her to visit the city where refugees lived outside the Holy City.

Everyone has his or her own responsibilities.

Teachers teach students, craftsmen forge iron tools, farmers work in the fields, and mothers raise children.

The king and the knights need to protect them.

"If one day, I and the knights, enjoying their offerings, need these farmers, workers, craftsmen, teachers... and need these ordinary people without professional training to take up arms to resist foreign enemies for their families."

"I was no longer fit to be king at that time."

Chapter 5: Warcraft, City Breaking, Life and Death, and the Future

So how is my work in the city these days?

Standing on the stage, Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the ordinary people below who originally had their own jobs in the city fighting against the monsters. He felt mixed emotions at the moment. He admired their courage but also felt that they should not be here, and he felt more and more powerless against himself.

Let’s go deeper.

Who was right and who was wrong between King Gilgamesh and King Arthur?

Fujimaru Ritsuka really couldn't tell the difference.

From what she had seen in the city over the past two days, King Gilgamesh was not some tyrant who cruelly oppressed his people.

And King Arthur, who repeatedly targeted her and even took away her close friends such as Matthew and Leonardo da Vinci, was also a good king in treating his people.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka came back to his senses and looked at the smiling Merlin. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'm wondering who is right and who is wrong between him and King Gilgamesh."

"what?"

Merlin became interested.

Of course he understood that the 'he' that Fujimaru Ritsuka was referring to was Arthur Pendragon.

At Merlin's repeated urging, Fujimaru Ritsuka told him everything he was thinking: "If what he said is true, then King Gilgamesh is wrong; but I really can't think of how King Gilgamesh could be wrong."

"You think too much."

Merlin said with amusement, "Neither of them is wrong."

"No one is wrong?" Fujimaru Ritsuka became more and more confused.

"Who said there can only be one way for the king?"

Merlin explained, "However, even with one path, there may be completely different ways to deal with different situations. It is absolutely unacceptable to apply one principle to everything."

Speaking from my heart.

Lin Qingsu and Fujimaru Ritsuka said that at the time, although they believed it from the bottom of their hearts.

But it's more for the CPU.

Try to see if it is possible to give this girl of destiny to NTR from Chaldea and the restraining force.

And now, Gilgamesh is facing the siege of the alliance of the three goddesses and countless monsters, and his subordinates are all civilians. He is the only king who has the strength to fight back.

There's really no other way.

Let him do it.

Given the same resources, all Lin Qingsu could do was not to sit idle in the palace every day, but to go to Ishtar and Ereshkigal, and even Quetzalcoatl, in person to seek help from these three benevolent goddesses.

The only thing Lin Qingsu didn't understand was that Gilgamesh sat in the palace all day long.

Is he the only one in the entire city of Uruk who knows how to work?

The government affairs of a city and the allocation of border defense would completely collapse without him sitting in the temple writing and drawing?

He doesn't even have the chance to spare half a day to talk to the goddess?

The difficulty of conquering Ishtar and Ereshkigal is almost zero.

Lin Qingsu didn't believe that Gilgamesh didn't understand this.

Not to mention his "clairvoyance".

How can he rely on the charm of the last human master?

One is greedy for money;

A lonely one.

After the two of them possessed Rin Tohsaka, they both changed from moody goddesses to goddesses with kind hearts.

Doesn’t Gilgamesh understand what the Three Goddesses Alliance is all about?

If he had gone to look for it, why would so many humans have died? With the help of Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and possibly Quetzal, there would be no need for so many humans to die after being beaten by the Goddess of Warcraft, leaving only the last refuge.

Of course, Gilgamesh also has his own opinion.

The last chance to save Uruk that his "clairvoyance" saw was the last human Master, someone like Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Or if he were to act prematurely, would that detonate Tiamat prematurely?

Even if we take a step back and say that when the Warcraft attacks the city, you, as the king, can kill all the Warcraft in seconds, which is better than you just sitting there working.

Only Jingu can take action and you can't?

You let humans fight Warcraft until the end, but when they meet Tiamat, they will be killed instantly, right?

To put it more bluntly, it's like a third-rate screenwriter who, in order to highlight the protagonist, lets Gilgamesh sit on the sidelines and watch the show, sitting in the office working every day, and when Fujimaru Ritsuka comes, throws all the work to her to do.

Otherwise, if Gilgamesh does everything alone, what is the role of the protagonist?

And this is the biggest difference between Lin Qingsu and him.

Lin Qingsu didn't understand and didn't like his and Solomon's logic.

These two people have "clairvoyance", but they don't even think about trying to make their fate better. They just grab the last chance of their fate that they see.

If there was no chance, Solomon would have simply sought death.

Back to the topic, Fujimaru Ritsuka was confused by what he heard. He felt that he understood but also felt that he didn't understand.

Before she could think about it any further, her feet suddenly trembled violently.

Then several screams were heard.

Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly looked down and found that a gap had been created in the city wall by the monster.

Although there are Heroic Servants such as Jeanne d'Arc, Anna, Leonidas I, Ushiwakamaru and others participating in the battle, the number of monsters is too large, and none of them has a laser cannon, so they can only kill them one by one. Therefore, all they can do is hunt monsters outside the city to relieve the pressure on the people who are defending the city.

But many monsters still broke through their defenses.

He bumped his head against the wall.

One or two hits were fine, but after so many times, a gap was eventually created in the tall and solid city wall.

The surrounding monsters immediately rushed in like crazy.

Joan of Arc, Anna and others wanted to go back to protect, but as soon as they made a move, they were surrounded by monsters that rushed over from all directions.

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately looked at Merlin.

When she turned around, she found Merlin, who had just been advising her like a caring elder...

Ran.

Immediately, Fujimaru Ritsuka was both angry and anxious, but he had no idea what to do.

Although she had received special training from Scathach and Dr. Roman, she was at best a slightly better magician. She could barely fight against one or two monsters, but even if there were three or four, she would have to consider building a grave for herself in advance, not to mention the endless tide of monsters.

Released several magic tricks from a distance.

Interrupt the actions of several monsters.

But it was of no use against the monsters pouring in from the gap.

People died every moment. Without the protection of the tall city walls, the ground was soon covered with broken limbs and bright red blood.

"Who will save us?"

It's not just Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Joel, who gave Anna cookies, was thinking the same thing.

He just took the initiative to apply for a callback yesterday and was responsible for part of the defense.

Looking at the monsters rushing in frantically from the gap, and looking at his colleagues and descendants who were laughing and talking not long ago but were now killed by the beasts one by one and not even their bodies were left intact, Joel's face turned pale and his eyes were full of despair.

'boom! ’

A dazzling firelight appeared around the breach in the wall.

That is the last line of defense for pre-equipment.

The violent explosion devoured all the monsters that had just rushed in or were about to rush in. The dozens of meters high city wall collapsed and countless pieces fell down, turning into a ruin several meters high that blocked the gap.

"Are you saved?"

"We are saved!"

The people who survived near the gap were in tears and cheered differently.

"This line of defense can't be held!"

Joel shouted, "Retreat, retreat to the next line of defense!"

Joel's shout alerted the survivors.

This was a plan that had been planned long ago. Once the defense line was breached, they would quickly move to a more internal defense line.

They reacted one after another, supporting their legs that had become limp from fear, and dragging their injured companions as they rushed towards the inner defense line.

"Uncle Joel!"

A young voice sounded from behind Joel.

Joel turned his head and saw a blond, blue-eyed boy, no more than fifteen years old, jogging towards him.

"Heller."

He knows him.

Before the disaster, they were citizens of Uruk.

His father died early, but he still has a mother and several younger brothers and sisters at home. In order to protect his mother and younger brothers and sisters, he volunteered to go to the front line a few days ago. He is a brave, loving and courageous young man.

"Hurry up and go, it will be too late if you finish it later."

Joel said hurriedly, "In a few minutes, those beasts will crawl over the ruins and jump in. This line of defense will be untenable."

Heller immediately became nervous when he heard this. He would not doubt Joel's words as he had already safely evacuated from several lines of defense.

"Uncle Joel, what about you?"

Joel paused when he heard this, and looking at Heller's frightened but concerned expression, a warm feeling passed through his heart.

Then he smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes: "It doesn't matter."
