Dragon of the Root

Chapter 955: No place is truly safe

At this time, Ishtar who noticed that people were walking away, was a little overjoyed at this time.

"Yes! I've been meaning to say this for a long time! Ahh~ it's really best to be cool~ my name has spread once again!"

At this moment, Ishtar seemed somewhat unreliable.

However Ishtar wasn't arrogant enough to think that she could eliminate all the Demon Beasts in the Persian Gulf with a single shot of a reduced Noble Phantasm.

Ishtar turned to look at the Persian Gulf. The smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated. Sure enough, many Kururu were still in the sky above the Persian Gulf.

It wasn't Kururu who was hit by Ishtar. The Kururu who were hit by Ishtar all fell into the water, and their life and death was unknown. Kururu took advantage of the opportunity after the explosion to fly into the sky.

Kururu who was clearly a mermaid, screamed like a snake, and rushed towards Ishtar as much as possible.

A beam of light shot out from Maanna, and directly hit Kururu in front. The power of light instantly smashed Kururu into pieces, and even spread to the surrounding area.

Ishtar kept her left hand straight in front of her and her right hand rested under her left elbow, revealing a smile, a beautiful smile full of confidence.

As long as anyone saw this scene, that person would be caught by Ishtar's current smile. Unfortunately only this incomprehensible and extremely ugly Demon Beast, Kururu could see this scene.

Demon Beasts were originally animals. Since it is an animal, it is good to appear in the form of an animal. But this mermaid has a shape similar to a human which looks very ugly.

The gills were like hair spread from the sides of the face, and the mouth was full of shark-like teeth. The head, shoulders, arms, elbows, and spine are all covered with jagged teeth.

Such a single fin is born to kill, even the septum between the claws has become so sharp that it can be used as a thin and transparent knife, and the pectoral part that looks like a female is actually two tufts of pectoral fins curved together and the waist also has a tail fin like that of a female cloak.

Further down, the lower body is really a thick fish tail. The skin of the whole body is covered with blue-brown scales, and a pair of blood-red eyes. His eyes were full of murder and hatred towards humans, this was the exact same look as any other Demon Beast.

"Even though I was forced by that Dragon Sage bastard, since I came here too late, there is no reason to let you go, so give me a good feeling!!"

In the next instant, countless rays of light, like bendable bullets, all flew towards Kururu who was rushing towards Ishtar, and the explosion occurred suddenly.

However, Ishtar who was bombarding the winged Kururu in the sky, did not find that in the depths of the Persian Gulf water, there were red eyes that were different from other Kururu, secretly looking at this scene.

...

On the north wall, Leonidas also heard Wu Ming's explanation no

"Oh, I understand. You think there will also be Demon Beasts in the Persian Gulf, and that's why the goddess Ishtar went there."

It is indeed possible.

Leonidas might not know, but Wu Ming had learned the intentions of the Demon Beasts from Merlin, and they were ready to attack Uruk from all directions.

The Demon Beast Commander also didn't know that Ullidim was being used by Merlin as a tool to gather intelligence, so their plan would likely proceed as usual.

Although there were defenses in the Persian Gulf, the defenses there were basically prepared for Kururu's possible presence on the Euphrates and Tigris.

The Persian Gulf in the southeast can be said to be a safer area than the northern wall, dense forests in the south, mountains in the west and even mountains in the northeast.

The only dangers were Kururu from the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, but Kururu couldn't go ashore. With proper defense, this was harmless in a sense, not to mention Gilgamesh also sent people down the river to hunt and kill Kururu in the Persian Gulf.

Although Gilgamesh also knew that there must be fish escaping from the net, Kururu in the river and the Persian Gulf, but he couldn't finish it, the Demon Beast couldn't do it.

But with Zhuge Kongming's Unreturning Formation covering more than half of Uruk, no new Kururu will enter the Persian Gulf via the Euphrates and Tigris. At Kururu on the Persian Gulf, the vicinity of the Persian Gulf is basically a safer area than Uruk.

No matter how you look at it, it is very easy, but Wu Ming doesn't think so.

Now Uruk, no place is really safe.

The safer the place is, the more likely it is to become dangerous. Uruk sat in the middle, and he was not attacked by any of the Demon Beast commanders. It's just that the Persian Gulf is only far away from the northern wall, this falls into the category of security.

Therefore, Wu Ming would let Ishtar go to the Persian Gulf to take a look at the situation. If there were no Demon Beasts, Ishtar would have come directly to the north wall for support. However if there was a Demon Beast, Ishtar would be responsible for its extermination.

Ishtar who possessed the Bull of Heaven, would not be afraid even in the presence of the Demon Beast commander, no, only when she met the Demon Beast commander, Wu Ming's heart was in line because this way, she could seize the opportunity to once again crush the Demon Beast commander.

"But it's okay, if there are Demon Beasts there and no one responds, Uruk and even all of Mesopotamia might be completely destroyed."

If a large number of Demon Beasts and even Demon Beast commanders really appeared in the Persian Gulf, neither the northern wall nor the Feathered Serpent God in the southern forest would be able to support the Persian Gulf.

Needless to say, the southern dense forest had started with Demon Beasts, and on the northern walls, they might have started fighting with Demon Beasts at that time. Similarly, there is no way to send troops to support.

Just as Leonidas sighed, Wu Ming noticed from the contract he signed with Ishtar that Ishtar's magic power had lost a lot.

It seems that there are Demon Beasts in the Persian Gulf, and there are still many, otherwise Ishtar would not have to work so hard.

"Looks like Ishtar has already started fighting Demon Beasts, and I can feel from her contract that she uses a lot of magic power."

Leonidas couldn't help but cheer.

"It seems you are right, Lord Dragon Sage."

But just as Leonidas was astonished again, the ancient bell hanging high on the north wall heard a loud and uninterrupted sound.

"Clang Clang Clang Clang------!!"

When the bell rang, the soldiers on the north wall who had kept their distance shouted.

"Demon Beasts are here!"
