Valhalla Saga

Chapter 35 - Battle # 3

&

A group of ships rushes back and forth on the mist lake.

The sound of the periodic horn made me nervous.

Sigrun swallows an elongated dry saliva with a stiff face. She had been nicknamed Steel Heart, Sigrun of Floating, etc. ever since the Valkyrie Sanctuary, thanks to her huge height and a look that did not change significantly under any circumstances, but the truth was different.

Unlike her appearance, she was not particularly brave or bold. Of course, it didn't mean she was a coward. It was just that he was not one of the most conspicuous Valkyries to remain calm anytime, anywhere.

Sigrun just doesn't have much to look at. To be precise, the look on his face was not very good.

Even though I smiled brightly, I looked expressionless to others, and I could only tell when I laughed too much.

Sigrun closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. After graduating from the Valkyrie Nursery, I've only been out a month or two, but the Great War has resumed. I couldn't tell anyone, but I felt scared and scared.

What will happen next? Half of all the Valkyries lost their lives in the last Great War.

What about the warriors? The warriors of Idun's army. Brothers on the battlefield laughing, crying, chattering with Sigrun himself.

I was afraid of losing them. I was afraid. I had never known Sigrun to be such a coward.

Sigrun tries to catch his breath again. However, no matter how hard I took a deep breath, my heart fluttered.

But that's when it happened.

“May Idun's blessings be with you. ”

I felt a soft touch on my forehead. The benevolent and warm spirit of Idun envelops the body that started from the forehead.

Sigrun opens his eyes, dazzled. As expected, Taejo stands before you.

“Commander.”

Sigrun says, she's as close to expressionless as ever, but she seems to know what she's thinking inside.

[Fearful]

[Sigrun]

As soon as I saw it, I could see it with Taejo's dragon eyes, but Sigrun didn't even notice it.

Taeho grabs Sigrun's hand. Sigrun's eyes are wide open, startled, but he doesn't take his hands off or step back.

Taeho looks at Sigrun's eyes and says.

“Of course I'm afraid. It's not weird to be scared. So am I.”

Sigrun blinks. You swallow the drought. You listen to Taeho.

“But we can still fight. I'm not alone. I have people with me. ”

Taeho's words had power. Sigrun recalls Gudrun, the Sanctuary's motivator. I thought of the lowest warriors I had installed to protect myself on the expedition.

“Ithun must be looking down on us. Our men will be with us. So let's be a little more courageous. Protect each other with precious people. Can you do that? ”

Taeho asks. With such a kind question, Sigrun pauses for a moment. I nodded and replied.

“You can. ”

Taeho smiles again. I loosened the hand that was holding Sigrun's hand and hammered his chest twice.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

[relaxed]

[mindful]

[Sigrun]

Taejo, who checked Sigrun's status, took another step and grabbed Sigrun's sheep shoulders with both hands. I blessed him again.

“May Idun's blessings be with you. ”

Sigrun also blessed Tae Ho. It was a face filled with shyness unlike hers.

“Yeah, well, cheer up. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Taejo taps Sigrun's shoulder and turns around and heads back towards the cabin. The silent Kuulin said so far.

‘I thought you said something about a dinner party, but you're responding well. Is this the effect of Bragi's runes? ’

He kicks out his tongue to make sure that Taeho's words are always uncomfortable.

‘Well, having a run in Bragi won't change your brain all of a sudden. ’

The idea of what to say was not the tongue, but the head.

Sticky Taejo quickly said.

“No, but I did it because I cared. I've seen it work before. ”

I did, because I used to say something similar to the youngest son of a thrilling team at the Dark Ages World Championship to encourage them.

"Oh, yeah, that happened. I'm the only one who didn't know. ’

The effect of imitating Heda was amazing. Taeho sighed as he felt worse than he heard profanity, but he finally caught his breath.

Kuulin can't be serious either. He's joking to loosen his nerves.

‘No, I mean it. ’

Two years frozen and frozen, Ku Hulin perfected Taejo's mind-patterns and added an additional blow.

Taeho smiles as his eyes become untouchable. He says something else.

‘Anyway, as soon as you lift the headcount limit, you collect blessings diligently. ’

Sigrun came to meet Tahoe and gave him his blessing. The Valkyrie has cleared all the conditions for the visiting warrior.

Of course, with just one blessing, I could only make a fake Valkyrie that was very low in completeness, but it was better than nothing at all.

“We need to strengthen the power a little bit. ”

‘Yeah, well, you should get some rest, too. You must be tired from all the black flashes. ’

After returning to the garrison, there was a good chance there was no rest. I had to rest a little while while I could.

Taeho immediately heard Kuulin's words, then went into the nearest cabin and lay down on the bed.

And the same perspective.

Sigrun, standing dazzled outside the cabin, immediately turns his head to the side in surprise. It was because Adenmaha, who had a pale face and looked painful, was approaching.

“Sir?"

When Sigrun asked with a worried voice, Adema frowned and soon sat down next to him.

“Hey."

“Yes?”

Adenmah shrugs her lips. Then he said in a small voice.

“Don't cross it. Okay?"

Sigrun doesn't answer right away. It was because it took time to understand what she was talking about.

But it wasn't that long. Sigrun looks up to his side, smiling slightly at the excitement of Athenmaha and nodding.

“I understand.”

Athena vomited a breath of relief.

&

The time of rest was short. As soon as we got to Idun's garrison, Taeho hurriedly got off the ship. The ferry is lined with heavily armed army warriors of Idun.

“Taeho.”

“Heda.”

I had a lot of eyes, but Taeho didn't mind. I ran straight to Heda, and Heda did not stop him. I hugged her forcefully and gave her blessings for a short time.

Adenmaha and Sigrun disembark the ship. Heda smiles at Athenmaha, who pushed Taejo away.

“Adenmaha, well done. ”

“Valkyrie's mission. ”

Athena, who was slightly puffy with her lips, was always as excited as ever, and Sigrun approached Gudrun.

Heda said, looking back at Taejo.

“Our troops have been ordered to march. Under Gudrun and Sigrun's command, they'll be deployed to defend the outskirts of Valhalla. ”

In a short sentence, Taeho read a lot of things. I asked Heda directly.

“Where can I go? ”

Taeho and his troops will act separately. There were too few things you could do with a dozen lowly warriors. The fact that the leader is not Hedana Adenmaha suggested Taeho's sole behavior.

“I'll tell you about it now. ”

Heda gives a short glance at Sigrun and Gudrun, then takes Tahoe and Adenmaha to a building near the Ferry. Merlin and Skazaha await you inside the building. Ragnar does not look as expected. Probably by the front lines or by the gods.

“My king.”

“Taeho.”

“I've been back.”

Taejo briefly greeted the two of them and looked at the widespread map on the table in the middle of the room. Asgard and Midgard are drawn on the left and right side of a large map with solid lines in the center.

“You may already know, but I'll explain quickly. ”

Heda approaches the map and says, placing glittering green stones on the map.

“A cluster of Fallen Soul Fragments appeared on the front line. Almost simultaneously, there were autumn soul fragments all over Midgard. ”

The total number of soul fragments processed in Asgard is six.

Since the number of soul fragments was estimated to be 14 to 15, the remaining nine soul fragments appeared almost simultaneously.

“I'm guessing a massive soul-convergence on the front line has resurfaced some of the soul fragments from all over the place. ”

The number of sparkling stones on the front line was five. I didn't know exactly how many soul fragments I needed to wake up Pennier, but I was more likely to lose months if only one or two of the soul fragments in Midgard were taken.

“The frontline is in a state of fluctuation. Many giants and magic have appeared in Midgard as well. Freya says it looks like Loki, the false god, did the trick. ”

Heda has placed about a dozen red flags on Midgard. It was worse than when the Forwards were alive.

Even at this moment, there was a high probability of combat on the ground. Moreover, with that number, the remaining Valhalla warriors in Midgard were unable to respond.

At that moment, Taeho remembers Helga, King Ivar, and the Kataronic Warriors.

I remember the battlefields I fought with the Human warriors.

They were alone. Asgard was in need of assistance as soon as possible.

“Odin plans to deploy a large number of troops to Midgard to retrieve the autumn soul fragments. ”

Heda places the blue flags on Midgard. Taeho clearly understood what that meant.

“Are you going to break the Feud? ”

“Yes, the goal of this operation is to simultaneously deploy the elite warriors right after we dismantle the fighting pits. ”

The Confederacy not only prevented giants, but also more than superior warriors.

So we break the tournament. We dispatch powerful warriors simultaneously to clear up Midgard's mess.

“I know what you're thinking. Once you unlock the tournament, the giants will be able to deploy troops to Midgard. Before Freya reinstalls the fighting system, there will be a really big fight. It's never gonna be easy. ”

In the Great War, Midgard suffered little harm. But this time it was different. I might have a lot of blood to be afraid of just imagining.

“Taeho, as the captain of Idun, you have been ordered to take part in this operation. Merlin and Adenmaha will be with you. ”

Heda was not with him. Taeho nods. I thought so. I needed someone to protect Idun who couldn't leave the side of the golden apple. Skazaha and Heda could be trusted.

“I'll take good care of Idun. ”

“Yes."

Heda forced a bright smile. He said, holding Taeho's hand.

“We don't have much time. Should I say hello to Idun?”

“Yes, this time it has to be. ”

I laughed a little as Taeho said. Athenmaha, who was looking at the two of them quietly, said small.

“I'm just getting ready to go. ”

Athena leaves the building with Merlin first. Taejo gives Gaebulg to Skazaha before heading to the temple with Heda.

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

Skazaha and Kuulin needed a salutation as well.

Taeho heads to the temple with Heda. As usual, I could feel the energy of Idun as I waited for a while.

“My warrior Tahoe. ”

He smiles under the golden apple tree. It was a kind and warm smile, as always, but Taeho could feel sadness from her smile.

Taeho approaches Idun. Idun lowers his posture in front of him, touching Taejo's cheek and asking.

“Did you greet your father and mother well? ”

It was the answer as I thought. Taeho slowly nodded and said, showing the sentence of Idun on his wrist.

“I received a sentence from Elder Idun and · · · Bragi. ”

“Yes."

Idun's eyes were still hidden. However, Taeho could feel the longing in her eyes.

Idun picked his breath. I sprayed my lips a few times and then smiled again.

“When you recovered the legacy, I was going to tell you a long story. I wanted to tell you a lot about the Great War. But we'll have to postpone the situation until further notice. ”

It was not a time to relax and talk about the past.

At this very moment, there will still be warrior fights in Midgard.

“My warrior Tahoe, my one and only commander. ”

I lowered Idun's position. At eye level with Taejo, she opens her arms and hugs Taejo.

“There's only one thing I want from you. There's only one thing I can tell you. ”

Taeho felt the warmth of Idun. Her sincere voice warms my heart.

“Come back alive. I have to, no matter what. ”

There was fear in Idun's voice. Taeho smiled for that.

“I'll do as I'm told. ”

It's not nonsense. Idun bites his lip, then nods. After pushing Taeho away, he was a horse.

“Once the Matchmaking System is disengaged, the interference with my connection will also be eliminated. So use the warriors of Idun. I'll always be with you. I will do everything in my power to support you. ”

“I will.”

“Yes, I really don't have time. I hope you still have time to say hello to Heda. ”

Idun, pranksterly speaking, stood up. He raises his head as it is, and gives me the highest blessing possible.

“May my blessings be with you. ”

It was always the same finish. However, Taeho impulsively kissed the forehead of such an image. I always bless her, but I speak for her who is not blessed by someone.

“May my blessings be with you. ”

It was a blessing that didn't have any effect. The blessing that Tahoe gave Sigrun was to use the power of Idun.

However, Idun frowns for a moment, then smiles like a girl from Karr.

“That's the best protection. It's the best protection. ”

Yidu smiles brightly and takes a step back. I clenched my tiny fist and tapped my chest twice.

“Go, my warrior Tahoe. For Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

Taejo also tapped his chest twice. And then he added a word.

“To Idun. ”

Idun laughs again. I left my deepest regret behind and let Taejo go.

&

Taeho gave the warriors the armor of Idun's troops that he had recovered from Barnheim.

As a lowly warrior, they had too much armor, but they didn't mind. I didn't care if I lost all my armor. It was important that at least one more warrior returned.

Sigrun and Goodrun lead the warriors away from the encampment one step ahead.

Skazar returns him to Taejo, while Adenmaha and Merlin board the ferry and wait for Taejo.

Taejo and Heda didn't talk for long. Finally, we gave a long and deep blessing and let each other go.

The ferry heads for the center hall of Valhalla.

Valkyrie Hrist of the same visual Freya Corps delivers the Banahaim's ship to Freya.

Freya sees Odin. Odin nods.

I put the decision back in my mouth.

“Disarm the Matchlock. ”

Freya opens the barnheim's ship.
