Valhalla Saga

Chapter 8 - Lesser Warrior

More than 2,000 Valhalla warriors were pillaged by troops outside the Black Fortress. Valkyrie Reginlaive, standing on a prominent rock, shouts, pointing to the doors of the purple space above the snow.

“Warriors! We are preparing a banquet for you in Valhalla! Once you're through the door, head straight to the ballroom! ”

“Ow!”

The warriors responded with a shout, according to Leginlaive. They were all hungry for alcohol and meat because they didn't have a place to drink because they were guarding the perimeter for the past week.

But I couldn't just run to the purple door. There were only two doors in the snow, so I had to wait my turn.

Rolls spewing hot steam over the snow blowing in the cool breeze, smiling as if they were excited to wait.

“I'm barely home. ”

“But it's been a peaceful week, hasn't it? ”

“Even Valhalla doesn't go to war every day. ”

Actually, it was a little fishy. At this very moment, there is a strong possibility of battle elsewhere in Asgard.

‘Obviously, the other two worlds were at war.' ’

Olympus and the Palace.

In Asgard, three worlds were at war. It was a war so big it was not easy to imagine how big the front was.

Taeho nods moderately as he listens to Rolf. Suddenly, he looks back toward the wall.

“By the way, Rolf, who are they? I feel a little different from the warriors. ”

He also turned his gaze to Taeho's question. When he saw the soldiers standing on the wall, guarding the west, he narrowed his gaze.

“Warriors not in Valhalla. I've heard that numbers are usually used to what we need. Some of them are from Nibbleheim or Nastron. ”

Soldiers who have moved to defend the Black Fortress instead of the Valhalla Warriors.

‘Oh, so it is. ’

I heard it was strange that the dragon's eyes couldn't see anything. But I understood what Rolf said.

‘Like the Valkyries, it's not that you can't see things differently, it's that you can't see things in the first place. ’

As you can see, there was very little accumulation of runes.

“Poor people. I've heard that emotions wither away from us. ”

He kicks his tongue as if he were pitying the warriors around him. He looks at the soldiers on the wall with pity, too.

But he's not so different from us, is he? ’

Being a recruiter is the same thing.

‘Well, it's just me, and the rest is a little different. ’

If the soldiers on the wall were forced to recruit, Valhalla's warriors felt they were volunteers.

Moreover, I didn't feel well because I thought it was the army anyway, and it was quite good to be treated.

And above all, the presence or absence of rune-driven growth was great. For the Valhalla warriors who worshipped the strong, the runes had a different meaning.

When we were all watching the soldiers on the wall together, it was soon the turn of the Siri army. Standing in the lead, Siri looks back at the troops and shouts.

“It's our turn! Let's move!”

Perhaps I've waited a long time for the warriors to make swift strides. Perhaps because he had experienced all kinds of Valhalla mounts, Taejo passed through the purple door without any objection. When I closed my eyes for a moment, I saw a very large hall that I had seen at the beginning.

“Wow, this is crazy. ”

One of the warriors next to you suddenly snorts and says. Then the other warriors began to reinforce one or two words.

“I'm drooling. ”

“It definitely smells like honey wine! ”

There was definitely a good smell vibrating everywhere. At the banquet on the first day of entering Valhalla, it didn't smell this good.

Siri led the excited warriors inside the banquet hall. There were hundreds of dining tables in a space so large that more than 2,000 people sat at once, and mountains of gruesome food were piled on top of it.

The warriors who were first seated began enjoying alcohol and food to their heart's content. Taeho also did not hesitate to reconcile with the Valhalla warriors for the past week.

But it was about 30 minutes after I started eating and drinking like that.

“Oh, Tae Ho. Look over there."

“My eyes are dazzled. ”

Turning around, the Valkyries are ascending to a place decorated like a headstone. There were three frozen Valkyries in the Black Fortress, all wearing dresses, not armor.

It was a sight for the unknown warrior. Rasgrid, wearing a blue dress and a silver coffin instead of a helmet, raises his glass lightly.

“Odin has paid for your efforts. Everyone who participates in this battle will be rewarded. ”

“Odin!”

“King of the Gods! ”

Las Grid raises his voice again, waiting for the cheers of the warriors to abate to some extent.

“I have one more announcement to make. Legginlaive.”

Legginrap in a red dress and a golden coffin replied to the call. Leginlaf, who took the center of the seat instead of standing aside, still cried out in a loud, faint voice.

“This time, I will announce those who have been promoted to a lesser warrior. Summoners, step forward! ”

This time, silence covered the banquet hall. Everyone swallowed a dry saliva with a nervous face as if they were waiting for the announcement of the winner.

“Thor's legion, warrior Brackey! ”

“Ulr's army, warrior rolls! ”

Every time a name is called, there is a crossroads between the warriors. He called the names of about ten warriors, and before he announced the last name, he straightened his neck once and looked toward the place where Ulr's troops had gathered.

“Army of Idun, Warrior Tahoe! ”

“Valkyrie Warrior! ”

The warriors cheer in unison. I didn't know anyone else, but Taeho had to admit it.

"Why not Giant Slayer or something? ’

A Valkyrie visiting a warrior.

But Taejo was already a warrior on the Valkyrie for the warriors.

In the end, Taeho, who had given up halfway, came out to the top, cheering everyone. Likewise, Lasgrid, who was giving up, told the warriors who were slaughtering him.

“As of today, you have been promoted to a lesser warrior. I look forward to doing more. This Dagger is a token of a lesser warrior. ”

As Las Grid gestures, Valkyrie Ingrid, in a green dress, hands out a dagger to the warriors. It looks crude, but the handle and blade are engraved with finely crafted runes.

After a brief promotion announcement, the banquet hall returned to the atmosphere of eating and drinking. Taeho has moved to a new dining table with a group of lesser warriors, including Rolf.

“You've been promoted, too. Well, who else would get promoted? ”

As soon as I sat down, my tall, tall hands were on my shoulders. Taeho can see who the target is without even looking back.

“And Bracci.”

“Of course it's me. ”

In the past week, Brackey has been getting pretty chummy, smiling, and emptying a big beer. The rolls across the hall say with admiration.

“You're both amazing. You've only been promoted to one expedition. ”

“How many times have you been on an expedition? ”

“I've been on a similar expedition three times before. Of course, this expedition was the most exhausting. ”

In fact, I was on the side of the promotion quite quickly, even if it was just a roll. It was unusual for Taeho and Braki to be promoted to a single expedition.

“Roll, Tahoe. Congratulations."

“Commander Siri. ”

Like the Valkyries, Siri dressed in comfortable clothes instead of her usual leather armor came to her with a bottle. She pours a glass of wine for Taejo and Rolf, then shrugs her shoulders with a smile.

“You're the same lesser warrior now. The more I see of Rolf, the more I see of him. ”

“I look forward to staying in a lower warrior camp. ”

As a Rolf, you'll feel like you went to middle school.

I guess it's just me, right? ’

It was just me and Tae Ho anyway.

As I laughed and shared the cup, I immediately saw another happy face.

“Wow, I knew it. I know. I have eyes for people. ”

Bjorn!

Bjorn smiles and naturally sits between Tahoe and Bracki, looking back at the warriors around him.

“Congratulations on your advancements. Are you planning a promotion celebration? ”

“Celebration plans? ”

“Huh, didn't you become a lesser warrior? Then let's enjoy the party. ”

Bjorn exaggerates and highlights the warriors.

“Interesting. Tell me more. ”

After escorting him to Brackey, Bjorn looks around Zec, leaning against the dining table and vomiting a gentle voice.

“How about going to Enahaim with me tomorrow? ”

“Enaheim?”

“It's one of the neighborhoods of Valhalla. Good booze, beautiful women, exciting gambling, tasty food, and exciting fights! A paradise where warriors can have anything they want! ”

At that moment, the eyes of the warriors changed. On the other hand, Siri looked pathetic, shaking her head a few times, and just went away.

Bjorn's voice is as low as a whisper.

“Entering and entering the Enaheim is one of the privileges of a lesser warrior than any other. Don't you guys have anything better to do with gold coins every time you go into battle or win a prize? It was given to me by Enahaim. ”

“Indeed. ”

“Somehow, it was useless. ”

“I thought it was a commemorative coin. ”

‘Heda said it looks like there's more to it than that. ’

Taejo stares back at everyone, including Rolf. Seeing their faces, they all had quite a collection of Doubloons. Bjorn's eyes shine again.

“I know some good places in Enaham. If you follow me, you'll know the true taste of Valhalla. ”

“Trustworthy.”

“I admire you.”

Looks like a bunch of recruits on a 100-day vacation. ’

Or should I say the first outstanding private soldiers?

I was just excited to go out and play.

When Taeho looks at everyone with his miraculous eyes, Bjorn quickly empowers his arms.

“Taeho, you're coming with me. Do you understand?”

“I trust you're not saying you'd rather hang out with an army of Valkyries than come with us. ”

As the rolls add weight, all the warriors look at Taeho with a stiff face. There was only one option given to Taeho.

“I'll go with you. ”

“Hehe, that's good thinking. ”

The warriors' expressions relax as the rolls laugh.

“Send troop Valkyries out when you get back. I've been on the expedition, and now that I've been promoted, I'll grant you almost absolutely nothing. ”

Bjorn explains the necessary steps for all warriors, then taps the table in a thumping tone.

“Look forward to it. Tomorrow we will know why Valhalla is a warrior paradise. ”

Bjorn laughs, and the warriors smile at each other.

And that was that moment. As if timing were right, Legginlae at the top raised her voice.

“Warriors, the legion of Valkyries is upon you. Return to the legion and unravel the poison. ”

The doors on one side of the hall open as one. Suddenly, there seems to be a dock over there.

“Time to part ways. But we will meet again soon. ”

“To tomorrow. ”

The warriors who toasted alongside Bjorn's shipyard greet each other silently and disperse.

Taeho left the pier alone because he had no affiliation with the same troops, and was able to find Heda without much to look for.

“The Valkyrie of Idun. ”

“Oh, that's the Valkyrie I heard about. ”

“Beautiful.”

Thanks to Taejo, Heda has become a celebrity among the warriors involved in the Black Fortress expedition. I was sitting there pretending to be rude, but my ears were burning red.

“Heda.”

“Let's go quickly. ”

As Taeho approaches and talks, Heda quickly grabs Taeho's hand and heads for the ferry. After being silent for a long time, I vomited a breath of relief after getting quite far from the dock.

“Hah, now I can live. ”

Taejo, who was watching such a heda, asked as if he was passing by suddenly.

“How's it going? ”

“Did something happen to you? ”

I haven't been able to visit Heda in a week. Taeho shrugs.

“It's been peaceful ever since. They've been scouted or searched a few times. ”

“It was somewhat organized. ”

It was one of the reasons why I didn't visit her even though I was going too far.

“More importantly, can I go out tomorrow? ”

“Huh? Out? ”

“That's actually · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Taeho narrated the story at the banquet hall only to the point. At first, it was Taeho who didn't think much of it, but I was more and more excited to talk about it. It was my first vacation in Valhalla.

However, Heda's expression seemed a little strange when he heard the story. At some point, he started avoiding Taeho's gaze.

“Heda?”

“Huh? Uh, yeah. ”

“Why are you avoiding me? ”

“Uh, I'm sorry. I got it when I got here. ”

As he shrugs his shoulders and looks at Taejo, Heda gives out a stoned scroll.

Summon Lesser Warrior

Lower warrior Itae Ho from Idun's troops will join the expedition of lower warriors from Ulr's troops.

Summon Day: Thor's Day

Like Valhalla, it was a commandment with no embellishment at all.

The moment I read it, I felt an ominous feeling behind my back. Taejo, who swallowed a dry saliva, looked at the summoning area and asked.

“Hey, are you sure? ”

“It's tomorrow. ”

Thor's Day.

Heda apologizes, and Taeho closes his eyes. As I was playing tomorrow, I remembered the faces of the Rolls and Warriors smiling brightly.
