Chapter 408: One person guarding the gate

Immediately, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada told Wu Ming the location of the city with the remaining citizens.

The Servants were divided into two groups, one went to the north wall to build the city wall, and the other escorted the evacuation of the citizens.

The army was also divided into two groups, one went with the Servants who went to the north wall, and went to build the north wall together, and the other army stayed and escorted the citizens with the Servants who escorted the citizens.

After that, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Leonidas, and Fuuma Kotaro brought troops to the northern wall to help build the defenses.

Okita Souji and Tomoe Gozen were arranged to cover the evacuation of Babylon City and Nippur City, and the army was also divided into two.

Wu Ming always felt like he was taking care of girls cough

After that, Wu Ming also came out of Babylon, seemingly afraid of being beaten by Wu Ming and Humbaba, and the Demon Beast stopped moving.

Wu Ming left Humbaba, and he came to the city where Amakusa Shirou Tokisada said there were survivors to save him.

It was almost night, Wu Ming returned to Humbaba alone.

Humbaba didn't rest on his stomach this time, but walked around like a patrol.

"Well, Humbaba, there's nothing strange about that."

"Woo~woo~"

Hearing Wu Ming's question, Humbaba shook his head and made two calls, indicating that there was nothing strange.

"Really." Wu Ming already understood why there was no abnormality.

In the cities where Wu Ming left, there was nothing left.

At that time, Wu Ming investigated it, and the traces of the Demon Beast's invasion of the city were quite clear.

Wu Ming searched the city carefully, but he found no living person, not even a corpse.

Except for some blood on the ground, only the panicked city remained, and it seemed that the rest of the people were dragged into the den by the Demon Beasts.

Wu Ming quickly inspected all the cities in the north at his own pace.

Wu Ming discovered one thing, no matter who or where, there was only a small amount of blood.

And currently, there was no Demon Beast whose mouth was big enough to eat a person in one bite.

If so, there is only one possibility.

"Although it is extraordinary, all those people should have been brought back to the den by the Demon Beasts." Wu Ming said solemnly.

And what did the Demon Beasts do to bring those people back to their old lair? As a backup? Feeding Tiamat? As nutrition for the production of other Demon Beasts?

Although it is cruel to say that, but for those who have already gone to the Demon Beast's lair, the Demon Beasts have not done anything they wanted...

"Woooo~" Humbaba lowered his head and rubbed Wu Ming in a sign of comfort.

"Even though I'm not in a good mood, I'm more worried about one thing." Wu Ming patted Humbaba, said that he was not worried, and then continued.

"You said, could it be that those people turned into Demon Beasts after being captured"

This sentence made Humbaba slightly dumbfounded.

"I don't think Tiamat, who can produce many Demon Beasts, needs food, and I don't think these Demon Beasts will bring people back because they help their fellow tribesmen store food."

Then, Wu Ming smiled casually.

"Of course, I'm just guessing. Could my guess be wrong?"

Because of that, Wu Ming's smile immediately turned calm.

"And the one who uses the body of 'Enkidu', she must have something to do with Tiamat."

Being able to steal Enkidu's body unnoticed must be something the seventy-two demon gods do.

"But since they were able to entrust the Holy Grail to them, and they acted together with the Demon Beast Tiamat, and told me that she is the child of the same mother, there is no doubt that she must have a relationship with Tiamat, and the relationship is very close. " Wu Ming said with certainty, and then started to think about who exactly the person in 'Enkidu' was.

"Woooo~" Seeing Wu Ming frowning, Humbaba made sure to move forward, pushed the defenseless Wu Ming to the ground, and then pressed his huge head against Wu Ming.

"WaitWait, Humbaba, what are you doing!?"

The person who was pushed down was shocked, and his mind jumped out of the contemplation just now.

"Woooo~~" Humbaba didn't pay attention to Wu Ming's question, but continued to act like a "baby", constantly rubbing Wu Ming.

But as everyone knew, considering Humbaba was big to rub like this, Wu Ming couldn't stand it.

"I...I know, I won't think about it anymore, you put me down first!"

"Woo~woo~"

...

After a short commotion, Wu Ming put Humbaba away, and then, it was evening and the sun was setting.

"Really, don't jump on me again in the future. Your head is bigger than my body. How does it feel to jump straight at me." Wu Ming resolved the mess that Humbaba had caused, a little helplessly said to Humbaba.

"Woooo~" Humbaba sat down honestly, like a child admitting his mistake.

"Well~ I don't blame you, I'll pay attention to it next time." Seeing Humbaba not being excited, Wu Ming was amused, then quickly comforted and touched Mumbaba.

"Woo~woo~" After being touched by his master, Humbaba showed a happy expression.

For a moment, Wu Ming sat on top of Humbaba, who was walking slowly towards the north with Wu Ming.

Wu Ming looked at the endless plains to the north and the mountain cypress forests to the northwest.

There was no doubt that the Demon Beast was from there.

"By the way, the cedar forest seems to be your territory, Humbaba."

Wu Ming suddenly remembered that Humbaba used to live in the cedar forest.

"Woooo~~" Humbaba's big head nodded, and now it was like he had a home and couldn't go back.

"Un~ but you don't really care, do you." Wu Ming just smiled hearing that.

Humbaba didn't care where he lived, and the cedar forest just because it was a good forest, so Humbaba settled there.

"Woooo~" Humbaba exclaimed happily.

After Humbaba had Wu Ming as his master, it was a very happy thing to be by the master's side.

Seeing the lights of the City of Babylon behind him, Wu Ming asked Humbaba.

"Are the vines ready?"

"Woooo!"

Since Wu Ming was required to defend against Demon Beast attacks, Humbaba started planting vines underground when Wu Ming went to look for survivors during the day.

Don't think Humbaba is really just hanging out.

"Very good, then we are now waiting for the Demon Beast's attack. I have a feeling that the Demon Beasts will definitely attack tonight," said Wu Ming solemnly.

Although he really wanted to complain about how his master found out, Humbaba wasn't making fun of himself, after all, it was right to follow his master.

After that, until almost dawn, there was no movement on the plains, not even birds and rabbits.

"They will come."
