Nan She left angrily, leaving a bag on Ananu's head. The bag on his head recovered almost instantly. Anu touched his head and just chuckled, not paying attention.
"It's obvious that you don't want her to be by your side." Enkidu hugged one of his legs.
He could feel that the vitality in Ananu's body was a little less, to the point of being insignificant.
"It's enough to have you by my side, Enkidu, and maybe Gil." Enkidu looked at Ananu and was silent for two seconds, then nodded.
...Early the next morning, Ananu couldn't wait to arrive at the military camp. While walking, I was still understanding the situation with Lu Silan.
"In the year you left, the army did not reduce or increase its numbers, but its tasks were carried out." Lu Silan said seriously, holding a clay tablet in his hand.
"What monsters have you killed?" Ananu asked curiously.
"I've killed several species, and I almost killed a Basiumu, but it escaped."
"But under the command of the general, we did not pursue it. After all, our purpose was only to protect the safety of Uruk." Ananu nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, that's good. This is the purpose of establishing this so-called 'professional army'. Is there anything else going on?"
"Yes." Lu Silan nodded, hesitantly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ananu was confused.
"Yes, we also killed a group of bandits who invaded Uruk." Lu Silan still chose to report honestly.
"That's good." Ananu nodded with a smile, and then complained,
"By the way, do any bandits dare to care about Uruk? Are they so bold?" There are not only cities in this land. There are also quite a few people living in places without the protection of cities. They are unwilling to believe in gods and have been living a relatively barbaric and peaceful life. primitive life.
Every winter, these people would form teams and head to the edge of the city to plunder. It's just that because Uruk is relatively powerful, it has not been robbed very often in the past, but this year is strange.
"Maybe it's King Gilgamesh's shrinking focus and his focus on production that caused those people to have some misunderstandings." Lu Silan smiled and expressed his guess.
For more than a year, Gilgamesh has not launched or presided over any foreign wars, and has maintained a peaceful relationship with the surrounding small and weak cities. This has been the case since Gilgamesh became the king of Uruk. , an unprecedented situation.
That crazy and murderous king could make such a choice. In the eyes of some people, there was only one possibility, that is, there was no way to fight Uruk, it couldn't be defeated.
So they wanted to take advantage of the fact that Uruk still had some food left over to catch the autumn wind. As a result, Adkat and a dozen professional soldiers from Uruk taught them what cruelty is.
A dozen people killed a team of hundreds of people, and even a few people ran away in the end, because--this group of people ran so damn fast, they could walk like flying in the snow!
"But then again -" Ananu looked at Lu Silan, looking up and down with an incomprehensible look.
"You've grown a lot stronger over the past year."
"Ah, this...it's true." Lu Silan showed a shy smile,
"But the changes are more obvious, General. They should have started their morning exercises now. You can go and take a look."
"Okay." Ananu nodded, looking a little uncomfortable. He probably knows what it will be like inside the barracks now...
"Well--"
"oh--"
"ah......"
"Huh-huh-" Ananu heard such a sound before he was completely close to the barracks.
"Commander, you... eh? Commander!?" Lu Silan just wanted Ananu to not be too surprised, then turned around and found out.
A giant man with a height of more than two meters and long yellow hair was standing next to him. Lu Silan:?
? ?
"Hahahaha - it seems that the effect I wanted has been achieved! This is what defending Uruk should look like!" The giant man Ananu strode into the barracks, letting the soldiers who were warming up join forces. Qi was stunned.
I go! I originally thought that our style of painting was invincible in this city, but I never thought that there would be such a fierce and domineering man with such a cool and domineering style!
?
"May I ask who you are?" A soldier stood in front of Ananu, looking at Ananu's muscles with admiration.
Such muscles are romantic~ I have to say that after a year of high-intensity training, the aesthetics of this group of warriors have completely gone astray. Even Adkart is no exception. He is using an appreciative expression He looked at the strong man with yellow hair.
......etc. Yellow hair? Adkart's eyes changed.
"It's me!" Ananu showed a very healthy smile and gave everyone a thumbs up.
"I'm back!" Everyone was stunned.
"Commander!?"
"Lord Commander!?" A group of people immediately surrounded him, looking at Ananu in disbelief. Lu Silan stood behind Ananu, looked at Ananu who was surrounded by a group of people, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.
Then, he smiled involuntarily. ...Looking at your back? That's pretty good.
My passion has been left in the sea. Now, it is better to do this. His mood is actually a bit complicated.
In Mesopotamia, when he first learned about Ananu, he frantically wanted to escape. If he hadn't been unable to disobey Gilgamesh's order, he would have even wanted to escape from Uruk, not wanting to see him. To Ananu.
Noerla and Xiang An still had too great an influence on him. It was so big that he couldn't bear to watch Ananu's...Ananu's death again.
Thinking of this, Lu Silan's mood couldn't help but sink. He quickly shook his head to get rid of this thought.
I am ready to face everything calmly. After completing this journey that no one knows about and only belongs to me, I will welcome my ending with an attitude that can still bring a smile - I have decided!
With this thought in mind, Lu Silan closed his eyes, covered his trembling pupils, and then rushed forward. Together with his other army companions, he hugged Ananu and celebrated his successful return from the underworld.
On the other side, in the temple of Ishtar...
"You said, Ananu, you want to come to see me?" Ishtar looked at the calm Kurgalu below with a look of horror on his face that he was not aware of.
"Yes, my god." Kurgalu told Ishtar calmly.
"He will come to see you before nightfall."
