Creed of the heavens

Feathered snake god Fengshen pterosaur finally got rid of Rahmu's pursuit, and Uruk defenders manipulated the magic cannon with the seal of theocracy on the city wall to stop a small number of Rahmu who had escaped from the main force.

The oppressive Tiamat was suspended in the sea of ​​life and slowly moved towards Uruk, and the black mud spreading like a creeper was also approaching Uruk.

The Fengshen pterosaur had just landed, and Fujimaru jumped off the dragon's back in a hurry, and anxiously asked the soldiers guarding outside the sacrificial field, "Where is King Gilgamesh? We have something important to report!"

No one knew what was said between Gilgamesh and Jin Gu. When the King of Uruk returned to the sacrificial ground alone, although his expression was very dignified, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"I already know the situation."

Once back on the throne, Gilgamesh immediately assumed command again.

"Everyone obeys the king's orders!"

"Liberate the Fang of Napistine, and the soldiers who are still alive go to the city wall to manipulate the seal of theocracy to attack!"

"The final decisive battle has come, dedicate all your strength, and let Tiamat, the creator god of Sumer, witness the growth of mankind!"

Chapter 335 Confusion and Enlightenment

Following Gilgamesh's order, the few thousand people remaining in Uruk immediately took action according to their duties.

Craftsmen worked overtime to make weapons and armor, farmers were busy harvesting the last crop of wheat before the country collapsed, soldiers had lunch with their families, and began to make final preparations for the expedition.

Including Dingir, the seal of theocracy on the city wall of the Warcraft front, all the special magic cannons were turned to the south, ready to fire at any time.

There seemed to be no redundant people in the whole of Uruk, even the housewives and children staying at home were not idle. They seized all the time to cook food to ensure that residents of all walks of life in the city would not go hungry during the battle.

According to Romani Aqiman's calculations, it is only two hours before the sea of ​​life sweeps across to the border of Uruk.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly dense clusters of pale fangs rose up on the southern border of Uruk, overlapping like a forest of bones, just in front of the spreading sea of ​​life.

Lu Xiao looked at the Bone Fang rising in the distance with great interest: "Uruk's black technology? It is indeed the end of the age of gods when humans and gods say goodbye. Even in modern times with advanced technology, it is impossible to unfold this kind of thing so easily at once. Bar?"

Due to her poor compatibility with Gilgamesh, Arturia didn't like to stay in the sacrificial field, and she and Lu Xiao were standing on the top of the tower together.

Lu Xiao focused on Napistine's Fang, while Artoria focused on the city.

The busy and undisturbed people of Uruk attracted her attention. The people of Uruk were not ignorant of the coming disaster, they acted independently knowing everything. This kind of strong will The power moved Artoria.

"Lu Xiao."

"Ok?"

Artoria paused for a few seconds before asking hesitantly: "Which side of the life do you think is more in line with the universal definition of happiness for the people of the holy capital or the people of Uruk?"

"Um"

Lu Xiao rested her chin on her hands and was a little embarrassed: "This question depends on the people's own pursuit of a happy life."

"Every human being is an independent individual and will have different views on things. The same standard cannot be applied to everyone. The external environment is also an important factor affecting people's judgment."

"for example."

Lu Xiao raised her finger to the busy people of Uruk below: "After struggling for half a year under the oppression of massive monsters, the people of Uruk must have a different definition of happiness from the people under the rule of the Lion King."

"The half-year-long high-pressure life has cultivated their tenacity. Of course, the guidance of Gilgamesh, who is the king, is indispensable for this."

Lu Xiao said with some emotion: "I dare not say that everyone is the same, but there is absolutely no shortage of ignorant and self-righteous people in this world, so the correct guidance of leaders is needed."

"I've heard a saying before that human nature is inherently evil, that's why newborns cry when they are born."

"However, human beings who are inherently evil have the potential habit of instinctively pursuing justice. Although everyone has a different definition of justice, heroes who have made extraordinary contributions in each era will be particularly remembered by human history, and even in this world. Sublimated into a heroic spirit."

Lu Xiao knew why Arturia suddenly asked this question.

The Arturia in front of him has richer life experience than King Arthur in the normal timeline, but the years she wandered in the world were dominated by the dehumanized Lion King Godhead, and Artoria herself was more like a bystander man of.

Arturia has always been a representative of justice, a king of knights who abides by the spirit of chivalry.

Artoria, who inherited the memory of the Lion King, has always felt guilty about what "herself" did in the past, but she can't forget the happy smiles of the people living in the holy capital.

The holy city system built by the Lion King is essentially the ultimate form of the utopia that Arturia yearns for.

Although she disagrees with The Lion King's extreme approach, she has a lot of resonance with the ultimate goal she wants to achieve.

The tenacious fighting spirit of the people of Uruk under the huge external pressure is undoubtedly a shock to Artoria. This kind of social form is fundamentally different from the ideal land she pursues.

King Arthur hopes to put all the people under the protection of himself and the knights of the round table, and protect the people of the whole country with the efforts of a few capable people.

Gilgamesh is better at mobilizing the abilities of the people themselves and bringing the whole society under his control.

Although both approaches are a reflection of their respective leadership, the philosophies of the two sides are very different.

In Lu Xiao's view, the ideal town that Artoria wants to achieve is similar to the utopian society proposed by the ancient Greek scholar Plato, and it is the ultimate yearning for a better life.

Just like Lu Xiao explained to Artoria before, human beings are complex in nature, and people's ideas will not be exactly the same.

Some people yearn for the ideal life that Artoria pursues, and naturally some people hope to become the citizens of Uruk under the rule of Gilgamesh without useless people.

Reaching out and patted Artoria's shoulder, Lu Xiao continued to explain: "You are you, Knight King Artoria, and Gilgamesh doesn't get along well, and there is no need to regard his way of governing the country as the only answer." .”

"People are different, so why not kings? As long as you stick to your beliefs, I believe you will find a way to truly realize your ideal land one day."

It is normal for kings and kings to have conflicts between different governance concepts. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Alexander the Conqueror and Gilgamesh debated their respective ways of kingship, and the final result was that no one could convince the other.

From Lu Xiao's point of view, the social form Artoria pursued was a bit too idealistic.

But this is the general goal set by the immature knight king in his youth. Artoria, who holds the holy sword to live forever, has endless time to explore how to perfect his own ideas.

Lu Xiao's point of view has never changed. He believes that the basis of an ideal society is the coexistence of order and chaos, and a delicate balance must be found between strict laws and citizens' free will.

Lu Xiao never thought of becoming a king, that's not a life suitable for him.

But he doesn't mind acting as an advisor next to his favorite king, subtly guiding him and her in governing the country, and trying to achieve his ideals in this way.

As it happens, Artoria has the potential to become his ideal king.

But the King of Knights is still unable to get rid of the guilt and torment brought to her heart by the actions of the Lion King. In the confusion and guilt, it is still difficult for Artoria to embark on her own way of being a king.

Perhaps it is also a pleasure to witness the growth of a king who meets his ideals.

To be honest, Merlin is unqualified as a king's guide. As a half-succubus, his indifference to human beings has seriously affected his enthusiasm for guiding the growth of Artoria's idea of ​​governing the country.

In the legend of King Arthur, Merlin was Camelot's court mage and King Arthur's most important advisor, but at least in the Xingyue world, Lu Xiao thought that Merlin was not doing well enough.

Lu Xiao's persuasion made Artoria feel a lot better, and she still needs time to sort out her mood as she has not yet shaken off her confusion and guilt.
