Valhalla Saga

Chapter 26 - Land of Battle # 2

The place where the Rainbow Bridge Bifrost stretched was neither Cataron nor Ladet.

It was a beautiful island in the middle of a large lake.

“Warriors, welcome you. ”

It was Las Grid who was waiting at the end of the rainbow bridge. Along with Valhalla warriors, there were a number of long clothes made of beast leather behind her back dressed in tribute, just like Ingrid did.

“Valkyrie Rasgrid, thank you for coming. ”

When Ingrid knocked on his chest twice to pay her respects, Las Grid also knocked on his chest twice.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

The two who spoke almost simultaneously, regardless of who first, laughed with their eyes, and soon the Valhalla warriors behind Las Grid welcomed Taejo's group in their own way.

“Temple of Lake Elidi. I visited them while I was alive. I came to ask if I really am Thor's son. ”

Brackey looks around and speaks in a voice filled with longing. From Taeho's point of view, it was an unknown name, so he nodded a few times and whispered a small Siri beside him.

“The so-called Pantheon. A temple with many gods in Asgard at once. It's one of the highlights of Midgard. ”

It turned out that I understood quite well. Those in long clothes made of animal hide were the priests.

After greeting Ingrid, Las Grid approaches Tahoe and Siri with a very small, unknown smile.

“Welcome, and now we can resume class. ”

Taejo and Siri flinch almost simultaneously. Las Grid said in a wicked voice, unfit for the name "Ice Princess."

“Half are jokes. ”

Why is it not just a joke, but half a joke?

While Taejo and Siri were avoiding their gaze, Las Grid, who looked up at the sky above the warriors' heads for a moment, once again became his usual serious face.

“This place is gathering information about Fallen Soul Fragments. So far, there has been a fragment of the Divine Spirit where there is something foreign. Humans from all over Midgard are cooperating. ”

Lake Ellie was the point of well-developed transportation, both by sea and by land.

Moreover, Valhalla warriors and Valkyries belonging to Asgard could not stay in Midgard's cities or villages for long. It was natural to relocate to the temple after you decided to stay for a while.

“Rest well today. ”

Las Grid, who left behind a message suggesting that tomorrow, came to the priests in long clothes and showed them to their homes. As Radette did, each warrior's room was prepared.

It wasn't that big, but it was a nice and cozy room. There seemed to be a good distance between a modest and hard room that could be thought of often as a temple room.

Taeho, who had been briefly unpacked, looked outside. Maybe it was because the time of arrival was too late. The first Valhalla warriors came out, sitting around a campfire in the yard, enjoying drinks and food.

“What are you talking about? ”

Sitting next to the newly seated Siri, one warrior raised his big horn and asked everyone.

“Why are we fighting? ”

“The answer is already out there. ”

The Valhalla warriors looked at each other as someone spoke first. And as if he had promised, he knocked twice and shouted loudly.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms! ”

A cool laugh followed the choir.

For Asgard and the Nine Realms. To protect Midgard and other worlds from giants.

They were always cheerful and cool Valhalla warriors. Taeho secretly smiled and looked back at the Siri sitting next to him. A white cheek of Siri was smiling bitterly because of the campfire that had risen in the cold night air.

“You look happy. ”

In short, Siri nodded favorably.

“It's good to be with the warriors of Valhalla. I think I've said it before, but I really like the way the warriors of Valhalla live now. There is no fight to be strong, fight for everyone, fight to protect the allies around you, and be · · jealous and jealous. Everyone cares about each other. It's fun.”

It was a story I heard when Siri and the two of them were isolated in the signs of a great war, even in the subspace.

Although the sincere voice of Siri was very small, Valhalla's warriors who understood it stopped laughing and opened their eyes.

“Huff! Siri! You liked us! ”

“We don't know that! ”

“We like you, no, I like you! Siri, put her in my arms! It's hugging!”

At the end, Braki spread his arms wide. Siri said, as she stood on the battlefield, her eyes turned cold.

“You're starting to hate me. ”

Brackey is roughened, and the Valhalla warriors burst into laughter again.

One of the warriors emptied his cup.

“I fight for Asgard and the Nine Realms, but I fight to be strong. It's so nice to be able to be strong every time you fight. Isn't that right?"

Warriors have agreed. Then another warrior stood up and revealed his ambition.

“I, for one, am going to confess to the Valkyrie of my legion at the end of this expedition. ”

“Well, yes. I see. Cheer up. Don't be discouraged. There's more to a woman than just a Valkyrie. There will come a good day. ”

The warriors nodding their heads in drowsiness begin to comfort you one step ahead.

And I wonder how many times it's been again.

Taeho, who was just drunk enough to feel good, went back to his room and lay down on his bed.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

The salvation of Valhalla warriors and why they fight.

Taeho himself was the same. The Nine Realms included Taejo himself and the world he grew up in.

No, it wasn't just that.

Midgard. The warriors of Valhalla. Siri and Bracki, all at Idun's encampment.

Heda and Idun.

Protecting the world was actually a hard sensation to sense. He had never stood on the front lines of Asgard as Ragnar had told him. It was not easy for my mind to fully understand that his struggle has contributed to the protection of Asgard and the Nine Realms.

Maybe one day we'll understand.

Perhaps the day will come when we will stand in the midst of a battle to protect Asgard and the Nine Realms.

Taeho closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep while continuing his grand thoughts.

And again, how much time has passed.

“Taeho, get up. ”

There was a waving hand on his shoulder. As Valhalla's warrior, Taejo always opens his eyes to battle.

“Commander Siri? ”

I could see the syrup on my cheeks because of the liquor. But he was as serious as he was on the battlefield.

She said low and fast.

“Valkyrie Las Grid has a story to tell. ”

“At this hour? ”

“We're not the only ones. He says he has a story to tell all the warriors, so we must hurry. The other warriors will already be gathered. ”

With the exception of Taejo, they were the Valhalla warriors who continued drinking. It would have been easy to get together.

Taeho, who got up from his seat quickly, left the room along Siri. Warriors gather in Las Grid's chamber, not the hall.

The room of Las Grid is twice as big as the room of the other warriors, but it feels very cramped with more than ten warriors and three Valkyries. As Tahoe and Siri stand by the gate, Las Grid nods, facing the warriors behind the wall.

“You're all here. ”

As I stood on the battlefield, I looked young. Ingrid was also somewhat stiffer than usual. As Caldeamann grins, Las Grid opens his mouth again.

“The Valkyrie Caldea of the Hermod Corps has received a special attention. ”

As he finishes speaking, Las Grid looks back at Caldea. On Caldea's shoulder, where everyone naturally looked up, there was a crow who did not know when he had been there.

Caldea takes a big breath and speaks in a quiet voice.

“The purpose of this expedition is not just to aid in the search for Fallen Soul Fragments. There's one more hidden agenda. ”

As long as it was not a larger expedition, there was a valkyrie on one expedition. There was a reason for Caldea's pursuit while Ingrid was already present.

“I'm going to need some clarification. Does everyone know about the fighting pits surrounding Midgard? ”

When asked by Las Grid, the warriors nod or say yes. Taeho also heard a little from Ragnar.

A magical wall surrounding the entire midgard stretched out by Odin and Freya.

Giants were unable to attack Midgard directly and focused their forces on the frontlines because of the presence of the Duel System.

Las Grid nods.

“Yes, as you know, the Grand Chamber is a great barrier against the enemies of Midgard. Unfortunately, it is not perfect. Asgard's inability to move back and forth is also one of its weaknesses. ”

Midgard was so enormous that there were gaps in the fighting pits that were inevitable. Even the opening couldn't be stopped until a small number of people came and went through the place.

It was also a relative barrier. The stronger you are, the harder it is to cross the wall. Thanks to this, you were able to effectively defend against the powerful giant's infiltration, but on the contrary, the infiltration of weak monsters sometimes opens the door without a pulse.

“In the last expedition, the Forwards appeared in bulk. Even more powerful giants have appeared. It's not supposed to happen. ”

Caldea's point was reasonable. Even if there is a flaw in the Matchlock, what happened on the last expedition has gone far beyond that.

“There is no problem with the tournament. So the gods came to a conclusion. And Heimdall finally found it. ”

The Forwards are hiding in Midgard. Whether it was done before the Grand Festival, or if it had been metallurgical for almost a hundred years since the Grand Festival was opened, there is nothing unacceptable.

“The secret purpose of this expedition is to destroy the Forwards' stronghold and drive them out of Midgard. ”

If you make a big move, the Forwards will notice. What was needed was a perfect surprise.

“We are not the only ones involved in this attack. We're closer to the vanguard, if you ask me. ”

“I will call upon Asgard's support when the attack begins. This expedition is never small. It's gonna be a big fight. ”

After Las Grid, Caldea said: I was still smiling, but I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was just a feeling, but the support she spoke of did not seem to end at the level of summoning the dozen warriors.

“Tomorrow we will begin the movement immediately. Maybe they're watching our every move. Because of this, we will approach the enemy in different routes, leaving a time gap. ”

There were three Valkyries. Enough to fool their eyes.

“That's all I have to tell you right now. I'll move and deliver the rest. ”

Caldea talks with a smile. Brackey and the warriors clasp their fists or nod their heads loudly, as if they were excited about the story of a great fight.

Kuulin was also excited. The Forwards were Erin's enemies. Moreover, they persecute Skazaha and target Taejo several times. Enemies must be defeated.

‘Asgard does it. Maybe it's time to put an end to the struggle with Bress. ’

Kuulin laughs fiercely. Taeho nods quietly, instead of answering Moore.

Las Grid vomits a long breath. She glances back at Ingrid and Caldea on either side and knocks her chest twice.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

Warriors also spoke up.

The crow sits on the shoulder of Valkyrie Caldea and quietly looks at the warriors.

King Ivar of Cataron marches fearlessly toward the hall of the palace. Her head was all tangled up as if she had jumped right out of the bedroom, and her clothes were halfway untouched. Moreover, I was barefoot because I also didn't wear shoes.

However, King Ivar chose to take one step further than to tidy up his clothes. And when he finally arrived in the hall, he shouted as if he were a child.

“Paul!"

“Ivar, it's been a long time. ”

He did not act like a king, but like he was treating the child of a neighbor who knew him well. The warriors and acolytes around him became frowned upon or startled, but King Ivar was different. He smiled as if he were pleased.

It was like twenty years of meeting, but Paul looked exactly like his memory. He was wearing the same robe as before, with clear, wide eyes on his wrinkled face as before.

As if he had ignored the flow of time, King Ivar felt strangely relieved.

Paul was a mystery. Rather, he would have been greatly surprised if he had appeared older and weaker.

Paul stands in the center of the hall. The contents are gone, and the ornaments are the only thing left.

“Someone elected Liberatus. ”

That's why I came back to Cataron. King Ivar was slightly disappointed, but soon he smiled again. Helga arrives at the hall one step ahead of King Ivar, answering in the voice described above.

“The warrior of Idun has taken the sword. ”

He was the most famous of the Valhalla warriors who came down to Midgard.

The fame of Scared's former Brackey, who returned from the dead, could not surpass Idun's warrior.

Who is loved by the beautiful and gracious goddess of life. He who thunders and lightning are acknowledged by Tor.

It wasn't just that.

A warrior in a Valkyrie, a giant killer, and a destroyer of the Winter Tree Forest. He had so many tinnituses.

And Paul added one more thing to many of those tinnituses.

Erin's successor.

Receive Camelot's Will.

Paul, Camelot's Archmage Merlin, tried to calm the excitement. King Ivar and Helga have spoken of the warriors of Valhalla and have informed you that they are gathered at the temple of Lake Elidi.

“But the warrior of Idun died in Valhalla. ”

Helga, who was chattering in excitement like a baby bird, suddenly said with a dark face. She watched the warrior Idun ascend to Valhalla with her own eyes.

But Merlin shakes his head. He could tell.

Idun's warrior is in Midgard. Moreover, he was not the only one with Riverratus.

“I'd better hurry.”

Lake Ellie was pretty far from Cataron.

Speaking low, Merlin touches the sword that was wearing on his waist. It was a broken half-sword, but it was more valuable to him than anything else.

The sword of choice Caliban.

King Arthur's legacy was the only one he could recover.

Merlin turns to face the direction of Lake Elidi. I didn't wait for the sun to rise.
