Last time you wanted to kill your son, will you kill me this time

Xu Zhi's face was a little complicated and surprised, but he calmed down again. It seemed bold, but in fact it was taken for granted.

He looked at Gilgamesh, who is known as the King of Heroes. He was on the verge of death last time. He killed his dear son with his own hands after being resurrected. At this moment, he was on the verge of death for the second time. Like a treasure, he swung his sword.

Perhaps from the beginning, Xu Zhi should have thought about what it would mean for him to choose a brave young insect ape who dared to roar at the vast giant and ask questions among a group of trembling insect apes.

He has no fear, and it is natural for him to swing his sword at himself.

This is his character.

Xu Zhi said calmly, "Gilgamesh, let me warn you one last time. Please stop your atrocities. This is barbarism, not civilization. Your next actions will pay a heavy price in the world!"

"There is no price, heavier than death."

Gilgamesh slowly opened his bright red eyes, as if he had returned to his youth, revealing the long-lost blood and madness in his youth, "It's just like when I went to kill Finbar giant with the heart of death. Like a beast, today, I want to kill the giant intelligent beast, steal his civilization, seize his power, and realize eternal life in the true sense."

"I want to lead my people and challenge you!"

His body was full of muscles, and his snow-white skin was like a god in Norse mythology. With a strong roar,

"This is the first collision between civilizations. One intelligent civilization challenges another unique intelligent behemoth... Even though you once guided our civilization, the intelligent behemoth is blocking ours now." pace."

He raised his long sword high, his silver-white messy hair was blown by the strong wind, arrogant and wanton,

"I will use the strength of the whole country-"

clang!

clang! clang! !

The dull and distant stone bell sounded slowly, and the entire Uruk royal city boiled.

The hundreds of thousands of troops assembled in the entire city rushed out densely, forming a dense and orderly array.

Xu Zhi looked at this scene and sighed, "As early as I didn't know, more than ten years ago, Gilgamesh was ready to attack the giant of wisdom, and the whole people were soldiers... .Today , but to lure me here, if I don't agree to his conditions, he will bring people to kill me."

Brave and resourceful, from this perspective, he is indeed a great tyrant.

... ..

Mesopotamia, the giant city of Ur.

Ishtar stood calmly in front of the palace, even though she was far away, she could still see the towering giant standing next to the king's city, whose face pierced through the clouds with a white holy radiance.

"What a magnificent and perfect life this is."

Ishtar was shocked, but his pupils shrank slightly, "It's time to do it. If it wasn't for finding a helper, with His Majesty Gilgamesh's tyranny, how could he give the precious blood of power to others? He From the beginning it was for this moment, looking for other helpers."

Tread!

With a light leap, she turned over and rode on the Ara giant beast, put on a black felt hat, and swung the black stone hammer made of the giant beast's bones.

"Mother! Grandma! Grandmother!"

There are countless men and women on the plain who hesitate to speak.

"Zarn, are you still alive?" Ishtar suddenly turned his head.

A young man showed a bitter look, "Grandma, my father is already lying on the hospital bed, dying of old age..."

"Son, wait for Ishtar, the king of the grassland, to come back and extend your life!"

Ishtar flashed a flash of sadness, looking at the towering giant in the distance, with great desire, "I am not Gilgamesh, I can kill my own son with my own hands, I can't bear my son, grandson, dying of old age In front of my eyes, I want to get more blood of power, even the blood of a giant of wisdom, maybe it is the blood of immortality... ”

"Go out."

She suddenly slapped the giant Allah beast below her, revealing the bravery and courage of the prairie barbarians, and led the most elite barbarian cavalry army to set off.

"History will remember this great moment. In the 175th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, the Sumerians will kill the giant beast of wisdom and drink the blood of eternal life!!!"

... ..

The sacred tree near the capital.

This vast ancient tree that once reached the sky and was used to test the three treasures of civilization has been abandoned for a long time. At this moment, a giant city in the Enkidu Forest is built on the tree and is prosperous.

The highest tree house, on the tree trunk on the outer balcony.

Leaning on a wooden crutch, Enkidu quietly looked at the shocking picture of the terrifying giant piercing into the sky in the distance, and several disciples stood quietly behind him.

"Teacher, it's time to go, I promised the king's promise, and it should be fulfilled..."

Someone whispered a reminder from behind.

"No, we resist the decree, we choose to do nothing in the giant forest city of Enkidu." Enkidu sighed, even if he looked at the royal city from a long distance, the terrifying power of the giant was overwhelming. Come.

"Is the teacher afraid?" An upright disciple couldn't help but ask: "The three most powerful kings of the three king cities of Sumer joined forces to attack, even the legendary wisdom behemoth may not be able to... "

"No, it's not fear. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of throwing away something more important than life." Enkidu said softly: "My civilization and wisdom prevent me from slaughtering and giving away like a brutal beast. Our civilized and intelligent giants who save our race, without kindness and morality, will be no different from beasts... My disciples, tell me! Are we going to become barbarians now?"

The disciples were silent.

Their teacher is one of the three strongest king city leaders, the great forest hero king who survived the blood of power, but...

"I resisted the decree and refused to participate in the war. My crime is unforgivable. My head will be cut off."

Enkidu looked at his most powerful disciple, Utana Pizm,

"If His Majesty the King had won and carried my head to the palace, I would be guilty of disobedience. With His Majesty's tyranny, I would have died without a doubt. This is all my own idea. Please, Your Majesty, please do not harm the royal city." ... "

"If the behemoth of wisdom wins, then hold my head and give it to the behemoth of wisdom, pray for the forgiveness of the great giant, and let the behemoth of wisdom know that we still have the true inheritors of civilization, not pure barbarism, please don't Completely exterminate our race, leaving a glimmer of life."

"teacher... "

Next to him, the most trusted disciple, Utana Pizm, looked at this great Sumerian wise man in silence.

"Kill me." Enkidu stood on the outer balcony of the Supreme Tree House and opened his arms calmly.

There was a moment of silence, my heart skipped a beat, and blood bloomed.

puff!

Utana Pizim beheaded his mentor.

One of the strongest heroes of Sumerian civilization, Enkidu, the king of the forest, died without any resistance.

Utana Pizim looked at the calm and familiar face on his teacher's head, which was silently wrapped in animal skins. Suddenly, his heart felt sour. He vaguely knew that there was something extremely important in his life that was slowly breaking.

...

The sky is shaking.

"volley!"

Countless black and red bows and spears were like spikes, piercing into the dense sky clouds and mist, and shooting at the terrifying intelligent behemoth.

The earth was howling, and the earth shook.

Countless elite soldiers like ants rushed to the soles of the shoes, and countless stone buildings in the city collapsed, one after another, like toy fortresses built with building blocks, constantly collapsing.

Civilians and women are fleeing, screams, weeping, crazy roars, dying roars, explosions, beast roars, wild laughter, countless voices are intertwined.

The most powerful royal city of Uruk has been completely reduced to a bloody battlefield.
