Lords of Camelot
Chapter 243 Snake God
Ritsuka turned around and looked at Merlin, and both of them could see what the other meant in the other's eyes. Stay here in Ur to see the situation first, there is no need to leave in such a hurry.
Several people also asked about other situations, and Ba Yuqian also asked why the people of Ur were living here and never thought of leaving.
The leading woman immediately showed a look of panic. They could not leave Ur, otherwise they would lose their lives.
This jungle treats both intruders and those who want to escape equally - taking lives equally.
So doing nothing is already the best defense, and everyone understands this concept.
And since the other party is now willing to receive them from Uruk, they naturally have to stay for a day.
At dusk, they met again. Merlin looked at Ritsuka and believed that Ritsuka had already discovered what he discovered.
In this case, it would be better to ask Ur what's going on tomorrow morning. It would be better if the jungle goddess can be stimulated to appear.
The peaceful night passed like this, and in the early morning of the next day, Merlin summoned all the people who were still alive in Ur.
He stood in the crowd and shouted to everyone: "I heard that you don't need support. We can also understand that you can survive without resistance.
After all, this is a common tactic used by people who give up on themselves, so...how many people are chosen to sacrifice? "
His last words made the bodies of all Ur citizens present tremble. Merlin's words tore away the thin fig leaf in everyone's hearts and brought naked fear back to their minds.
"About one a day? I saw the population of Ur before I came here, and after a rough comparison, I came up with the answer. The number of men here is really too small."
This is an obvious fact. The largest number of Urs are women, followed by the elderly, and finally children.
Although no battle has come to this Ur, it is unnatural that the number of adult males is so rare.
The best understanding is this, God asked for sacrifice, and Ur satisfied God.
"There's nothing we can do about it! In order to survive in Ur, living sacrifices are necessary!"
"Everyone makes selections based on acceptance and recognition."
"Just send one person to the Temple of Eridu a day! That devil will be satisfied!"
Such explanations arise one after another among the crowd. In order to survive, sacrifices are always needed, especially in such a collapsed era.
Who would want to do such a thing if there was a better choice.
"Is this your choice..." Ritsuka murmured with a complicated expression. How could things have developed to this point?
Does the Jungle Goddess take pleasure in living sacrifices? It seems that the old man was right, someone who has such joy in his heart must not agree with it.
Matthew couldn't agree with this method. She shouted to the crowd around her: "Is this how you protect yourself!?"
Tomoe Gozen and Kotaro didn't speak. They had both experienced dark and cruel times. But in their hearts, they recognized Ma Xiu who could shout such words. She was pure and qualified to shout like this.
"What do you outsiders know! You have never seen that terrifying goddess, so you can say such stupid things..."
"Even if everyone in Ur comes together, they can't communicate with each other. What else do you want from us?"
"That's basically a monster that lives in the forest, a monster that only knows how to hunt and kill!"
"Human ethics no longer exist in Mesopotamia. This is the only way human beings can survive now."
In this case, let alone gathering intelligence, even communication is very laborious.
Even those who came from Uruk could not help but have a look of disappointment on their faces at this time. How could they go further under such circumstances?
Even they are unable to save the current city of Ur.
"Sorry, it seems that my words caused trouble." Matthew was also very aware that her words had just aroused fear and anger in everyone's hearts, but no one would blame her for the current situation.
Rather, it was appropriate for her to shout such words.
However, at this moment, wild laughter came from the top of the surrounding trees. Everyone looked in the direction of the laughter and saw the strange servant Leopard Man they had encountered in the jungle standing on the top of the tree.
And judging from her excited look, it was obvious that everyone's conversation just now had entered her ears.
"Don't worry about it, nya! The living sacrifices are all still alive. If I kill them, I will be called an old-fashioned! By the way, my favorite food is the heart of a brave man~"
She stood on the top of the tree and looked down at the people below. Because of her arrival, the citizens of Ur had all run back to their homes. To them, the leopard man was the embodiment of fear.
Then she jumped up in front of Ritsuka, turned around casually and continued:
"Now all those people have been dragged to the Temple of Eridu for forced labor! By the way, I like birds, fish, and can eat people! Leopard warriors are here!"
"Although I don't think this guy is the Jungle Goddess, she is obviously related to the Jungle Goddess! Ritsuka, please give the order!"
Tomoe held the pheasant tightly and prepared for battle. This time, he must capture this strange servant alive!
Ritsuka nodded, and then looked around. The citizens at the scene had dispersed. With Merlin by his side, Mashu would be free to fight. The fight was four on one and their chances were good.
"Kotaro is responsible for the containment, and Anna and Tomoe Gozen are in charge of the front! Mashu! You are responsible for the support, do you understand?"
Ritsuka immediately gave the order, and all four servants rushed out after receiving the order. It just so happens that I'm holding back some evil fire in my heart, so I'll take it out on the Leopard Man!
However, four against one could not suppress the leopard man in front of him. Ritsuka widened his eyes and watched the leopard man igniting golden arrogance and leaping back and forth in the battlefield like a real cheetah.
She swung that ridiculous, indescribable weapon and knocked Mash away with one blow, and then blocked Tomoe Gozen who was swinging his pheasant sword at her.
The battle between the two sides was a complete see-saw. Even Kotaro, who was known for his agility, found it difficult to match the Leopard Man's agility. Merlin could see at this time that the Leopard Man's divinity was probably quite good. This guy was definitely not an ordinary servant.
After another blow to drive back the four servants who were charging towards him, the leopard man was able to stand upright and wipe the sweat from his forehead. It can even be said that she feels most comfortable now as if she had just finished an aerobic exercise.
"I will not allow you to take away the living sacrifice~ Then all my efforts so far will be in vain, and I will be made to cry by Kukul." At this point, she raised the baton He pointed to the crowd and said,
"This is our world, the land of spiral snakes. Human beings who cannot discern the definition of God, leave now!"
