Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"Then I'll go back first, and you should rest early!"

"OK, good night."

"You've only been here a while and are you leaving now?"

"This is called hanging out. Good night."

"Haha, then I wish you a sweet dream."

After chatting for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka said hello to Anna and Merlin and waved goodbye.

She saw that Anna seemed to want to talk to Merlin, but since she was a little inconvenient, she simply gave the space to the two of them and returned to her military tent to rest.

Although she was very curious about the next conversation between the two, the most important thing was to respect Anna's wishes.

"Miss Gudazi, what exactly is she...?"

Looking towards the direction Fujimaru Ritsuka was leaving, and recalling the mysterious conversation between her and Merlin just now, Anna couldn't help but hesitate in her tone.

The other party, like her, is a masterless servant who has not provided any information about himself to Chaldea and his party so far, nor has he signed a contract with Gudav.

But the other person was different from her. He had no intention of avoiding contact with others during his actions, and he integrated into the entire group very naturally.

Perhaps she was influenced by the other party, but she gradually...

"She's different from us."

At this time, Merlin on the side smiled and said:

"We are not human beings. In order to survive in human society, it is understandable to hide the non-human side of ourselves."

"It's like the reason why you keep a distance from humans is not because you hate them, but because you are afraid of them, afraid that they will learn their true nature, and afraid that you will be disliked. This is a rare emotion."

"As for the other party, it is based on a completely different and complex reason, so its usual actions look different from ours."

"……I see."

Anna nodded slightly.

"Besides, this has nothing to do with you, Merlin, right?"

"You can't say that..."

——

The next morning.

"—The time has come. The sun has risen at seven o'clock."

Leonidas I stood in front of everyone and said:

"Most of the monsters will be hungry during this period. As soon as prey appears in their field of vision, they will attack immediately."

Ushiwakamaru smiled and said:

"But I'm not going to be used as food. Let's defeat them!"

"please."

Leonidas nodded and continued:

"According to yesterday's observation, there are about 300 monsters patrolling around Nippur City. Corresponding to them are Lord Ushiwakamaru, Lord Musashibo, Lord Gudako, and two hundred elite soldiers."

"Although we would like to mobilize more support, the defense of the north wall can no longer be reduced."

"Before the citizens of Nippur leave the surrounding area of ​​Nippur, please be sure to lure away the monsters."

"Understood!"×3

The three of them nodded decisively in agreement.

Needless to say, the soldiers were naturally commanded by Ushiwakamaru, with Musashibo Benkei as the deputy commander. Fujimaru Ritsuka said that she could not do such a job.

Then, Ushiwakamaru turned to the Chaldean group and smiled:

"When the sun rises, the battle should be over. I hope I can have lunch with everyone..."

"stop--!"

Before Ushiwakamaru could finish speaking, Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted her speech and said with a serious face:

"I said, this kind of death flag cannot be left randomly."

"Death...Flag?"

Ushiwakamaru was suddenly confused and said:

"what is that?"

Hearing these words that did not belong to this era, Gudafu couldn't help but smile. Due to time issues, he could only explain briefly:

"It's similar to some unlucky words that you shouldn't say before going on an expedition."

"It's not very auspicious... So, is this some custom from later generations?"

Ushiwakamaru nodded as if he understood something, and then humbly asked for advice:

"So in your day, what would you normally say?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka held his chin and thought:

"This issue is a bit complicated. Some simple words of encouragement to each other are fine. Other than that... in short, just treat it as an ordinary mission."

It may even be better to say something negative deliberately, which is reverse poisonous milk, but for ancient people like Ushiwakamaru, this method may still be too advanced.

"?"

Ushiwakamaru and others seemed a little confused about this strange custom. In the end, they imitated Fujimaru Ritsuka and simply waved goodbye to everyone and said with a smile:

"Then, I'll take the first step!"

…

…

The three of them led the soldiers out of the city and marched towards the city of Nippur openly. It didn't take long before they successfully attracted the attention of many monsters along the way.

"Pfft."

The sword flashed, and the head of the last monster in front of him, Mushu Huxiu, was chopped off. Ushiwaka Maru swung it in the air, shaking off the blood of the monster on the sword, while looking at the fighting situation of the others.

The situation on Musashibo Benkei's side was similar to hers. As for Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, the other party once again summoned Atalanta's spiritual shadow, and arrows pierced the air, taking away one after another accurately and fatally. A monster.

Compared with the situation of the three of them, the soldiers' side was much more lively.

"Da da da da da da...!"×n

Amid the deafening roar of gunfire, the last monster finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground without a sound.

Even the terrifying monsters that existed in the Age of Gods, as long as they had not left the category of living things, could not resist the power of modern killing weapons.

Of course, because the monsters were too tough, even modern weapons had to focus fire to quickly destroy them.

What they didn't expect was that because the sound of gunfire was too obvious in the wilderness, their tactics of attracting the enemy's attention were more successful than planned.

In this wave alone, they attracted more than 20 monsters, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of monsters observed yesterday.

Seeing this, Ushiwakamaru couldn't help but smile:

"If we can go on smoothly, maybe we can directly eliminate the monsters around Nippur!"

Musashibo Benkei echoed and advised:

"That's true, but it's better to be careful."

"Of course I understand."

Ushiwakamaru couldn't help looking at the distance on the other side and said:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Fujimaru and the others should have set off, right?"

Then, she frowned slightly, sighed with some confusion and regret:

"It's a pity..."

Just yesterday, Gilgamesh specially summoned her and ordered her not to enter Nippur. Otherwise, she actually wanted to act with Gudafu and the others.

In addition, there is one thing that everyone knows.

As we all know, Gilgamesh has a clairvoyance that can see through the future, and he specifically ordered her not to enter Nippur for no reason. Obviously, he saw something.

So, what did King Gilgamesh see?

After reorganizing the team, they continued to move forward. Along the way, they attracted more and more monsters very smoothly. Their speed of advancement became slower and slower, as if all the monsters near Nippur City were rushing towards them.

This was also the scene they expected to see.

According to the time, Gudafu and others should have arrived at the west gate of Nippur City.

At this time, Ushiwakamaru seemed to notice something, and his brows suddenly frowned.

"Wait, something seems wrong."
