Valhalla Saga

Chapter 42 - Counter # 2

&

The night before Tahoe left for Asgard, Odin gathered his warriors and Valkyries.

“Asgard is now occupied by giants. ”

It was already known, but the one who speaks was the king of the gods. I could feel again how desperate the situation was.

Odin explains the situation through a video spell that he showed Taejo directly.

A large, red circle sits atop the Asgardian model at the center of Valhalla. Giants.

“As you can see, there are two main forces for giants. One is the main force of Jotunheim, led by the magic king Urgard Loki, and the other is the elite group of Frosty Giant King Harmarti, who fought with our Asgardians on the front lines. ”

It was Odin who got the information from the crows for the past few days. It was so short that it lacked specificity, but it was still possible to draw a big picture of the great river.

“The main force of giants lies ahead of Valhalla and Thor's army. ”

Both were isolated by giants and magic. Furthermore, the distance between them was far apart. Valhalla lies at the heart of Asgard, and Thor's army sits at the edge of Asgard close to Jotunheim.

“There are two things we can do with our current troops. ”

Warriors gathered in Midgard, reinforcements of Nibbleheim, and the Black Viper Niedhog and the King of Birds Hresbelg.

It was a powerful force that was few, but no one could rest.

“One, support Thor. ”

Help Thor's army to defeat the Frosty Giant King Harmati and his army. The Magic King can be defeated and Valhalla can be avenged.

It seemed like the best way to do it, but not one by one.

The problem was that it took a long time.

“It's possible Valhalla won't make it. ”

Harmati's army was never weak. It is clear that even if you join Thor's forces, you will not be able to defeat Shui.

After the Great War, Valhalla has become the most important place in Asgard. Most of Asgard's gods have gathered in Valhalla at once.

“The other one supports Valhalla. ”

Eliminate Valhalla's difficulties by targeting the Magic King and his troops surrounding Valhalla. At least it increases the power to be agricultural.

It wasn't easy this way either. I'm not sure yet how much power the magic king is garrisoning. It could have been too much to take down with the current troops.

“It is possible to take a significant hit on either side. But I can't decide. ”

I needed more information

I needed time, too.

“Asgard is vast, and giants and magic have not conquered all of Asgard yet. There are gaps."

Odin thought it was guerrilla warfare.

Keeping Needhog and Hresbelg hidden, the warriors attack Giants and Mages from the Outer Rim for now.

As I said before, Asgard is large enough to be smaller than Midgard.

Giants were also dispersed. Survivors have plenty of places to hide, too.

Even during guerrilla wars, they were more likely to think that surviving warriors were spawning.

Sharpen from the outside. Gather information by defeating Giant forces.

Of course, there were also disadvantages.

It was inevitably time-consuming. Time consumption was not pleasant in any way, as the situation had to lead to a significant change before Valhalla was taken down.

“They might hear from Nibbleheim and notice the presence of Nidhog. ”

Nedhaug flinches at Odin's nomination and gives you a frightened look. Adenmaha who was next to him hugged him as if he didn't have to worry, so he calmed down quickly, but the watchers had to make strange faces mixed with warmth and anxiety.

Odin smiles bitterly. He turned his gaze away again.

“But over here is still Hresbelg. Moreover, the existence of Nidhog itself could be a means of oppressing them. ”

Huresbelg nods as he folds his arms. Next to him, Verde Polnir nods as if it were natural. Nidhog tilts his head as if he didn't know.

‘Giants are the nature of Needhog · · · No, the nature? You don't know what he's like anyway. ’

Black Poison Dragon Needhog.

A powerful being that could lead to the end of the world.

For those who did not know the true nature of Kuhulina Nidhog, the fact that Nidhog had become an enemy was a tremendous pressure.

“The warrior of Idun. ”

Taejo gives an example in Odin's name. Odin reaches out to Taejo himself and puts his hands on his shoulders.

“I leave the warriors in charge. Rescue Valhalla and Asgard as the Commander of Idun. ”

Among the gathered warriors, some were more experienced than Taeho. But the commander was only one taejo. And the warriors all knew what balls Taejo had built.

The warriors of Valhalla are not petty jealous. I thought I would honestly admire and love the great warriors.

Everyone surrenders to Odin's decision. Taeho also received an order with an example.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

The next morning, Taeho heads to Asgard with a group of elite soldiers who have been concealed.

&

Half a day after Tahoe arrives in Asgard.

Valkyrie Caldea of the Hermod Corps slowly opens her eyes. The first thing she caught in her blurred vision was a beautiful woman with a wild feeling.

“Are you awake? ”

Caldea blinks once. I got a little more lucid and remembered who the beauty was in front of me. Instead of answering that I was sober, I took out a joke first.

“It would have been better if you were handsome and not beautiful when you opened your eyes. ”

“You're fine.”

Syria shakes her head as if there was nothing she could do. However, his face was very bright. It's because I was so happy that Caldea had recovered enough to joke about.

Caldea looks at that series of faces and rolls his eyes again. It was a pretty cozy room with ceilings and walls. It was an unfamiliar space, but I was not afraid or uncomfortable because of Siri's presence.

“I'm Colonel Handsome. ”

That's when I heard his voice. Caldea, who reflectively rolls her eyes, vomits tiredly at Brackey's smile.

“Is your ear not healed yet · · · Your eyes seem dull. Where is handsome? Oh, is that just a misunderstanding? ”

“Phew. I'm pretty good at Midgard, too. Right, Siri? Huh?”

Brackey, who was impersonating Caldea's counterattack, suddenly asked Siri with a face. Siri shrugged and replied.

“I don't want to answer right now. ”

The word 'now’ sparkled Caldea's eyes. I quickly opened my mouth and intervened between the two of them.

“I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Bracki's a big deal. He's manly, he's strong, he's strong. Right, Siri? Everyone has a taste, right? ”

“What are you doing to me? ”

Caldea laughs as Syria grumbles. Then, I grabbed my stomach and groaned.

“It hurts. It really hurts. ”

“Don't overdo it, you just woke up. ”

It was a new voice again. I haven't seen him yet because of Brackey, the size of the distraction, but his voice was enough for Caldea.

“That's our Ice Princess. Can you give me a hug? I was dying. I want to hold her. Hug me.”

Las Grid sighs, but finally gives Caldea her wish. Caldea came back from the dead and asked me if I could do something for him.

Unlike Caldea, who was lightly dressed, Las Grid was dressed in armor, so it was not a warm hug. But Las Grid does not miss Caldea in his arms. She pretended to be strong, pretended to be nothing, and hid a lot of emotions.

“Caldea.”

Caldea grins at Las Grid's lofty call. He pushes Rasgrid away as if he really doesn't care, and leans back against the wall at the head of the bed.

“What a handsome guy you are. ”

“Really?"

When Brackey mumbles a little, Taejo approaches the bed. Caldea still asks with a bright face.

“Where am I? ”

“Nearby prices · · · ·. ”

You take back the small fortress the monsters were occupying, but the group leaves because it's too damaged to defend itself or hide their bodies.

The reason Taeho stopped speaking for a moment was not because of such circumstances, but because I wondered if the word 'folk price’ was right.

This was the house of Asgardian inhabitants - the house of God.

‘Erin was like this. Tuaha de Danans, to be exact. ’

Tuaha de Danan is a new breed. It was a group of gods, all of them.

It wasn't just Kuulin who saw where Taejo was embarrassed. Following the thread where the needle is going, Adenmaha, who was just beside Tahoe, elbowed him and stabbed him in the back.

“How awkward. I keep forgetting. I'm a god? ”

She's goddess of Tuaha de Danan and now a Valkyrie.

‘Las Grid and Caldea are also gods. Goddesses. Goddess Hedda. What are you so excited about? Have you forgotten where you are? ’

Asgard, the land of the gods. It was natural for the gods to overflow.

Meanwhile, Caldea suddenly swallows a large breath and nods, enjoying Taejo's awkward appearance.

“Anyway, you're alive. Yeah, I didn't think he was gonna die that easy. Good. Heda was right. ”

Taeho is rumored to have died with Odin. Idun and Heda tried to deny it, but everyone in Valhalla, including Caldea, had already accepted that the rumors were true.

When Caldea mentioned Heda, Taejo immediately bit his lips. I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but now was the time to put everything else first.

Las Grid, looking back for a moment, looks back at Caldea and says.

“I'll tell you about Caldea. Listen as you recover."

In Las Grid's hands, the light of recovery is young. Caldea accepts Las Grid's touch, but shakes his head about the story.

“No, it's okay. If we get information we don't need, we might leak it when we get caught. ”

“Caldea?”

When I got caught.

Caldea smiles bitterly at Syria's question and asks Las Grid and Taeho again.

“But teach me one thing. Is Odin okay? ”

“You're all right.”

Caldea was satisfied with Taeho's answer. It really became a comfortable face, vomiting deeply as if there was no time at all.

“Okay, that's enough. Now we can go in peace. ”

It was a thin voice, but I felt resolved. Las Grid grips Caldea's hand and asks.

“Caldea, where are you going? Is this about the letter you were holding? ”

“Yes, it is. We should go to the palace and call for reinforcements. Just like it was in the Great War. ”

It was like this a hundred years ago. The Valkyries of the Hermod Corps took all kinds of risks and sent a message to Olympus and the palace of Asgard.

“The path to the palace is filled with giants and magical objects. ”

“I know. But we have to go. It's important, right?”

Nearly 30 sisters have already been hunted. Caldea himself might be the last Valkyrie with a letter.

Even if Odin were alive, the situation was hopeless. I definitely needed the help of the palace.

“We don't have time. I'm off now. ”

“I can't do this alone. ”

Las Grid grips Caldea, trying to get out of bed. Taeho exchanged his eyes with Siri and told Caldea.

“We'll work with you. We'll make a gap. ”

It was Taeho's party who originally intended to conduct guerrilla wars in Asgard. There was also a purpose to deliver letters to the palace, so there was enough reason to fight.

But Caldea shakes her head.

“Tiachi, one of the Giant Kings, is guarding the road. And a lot of men. I know you broke the Tyrant's Brace, but... ”

That's it. Caldea stops talking without me knowing it's better for her to be in danger alone than for everyone to be in danger together.

It wasn't because Taeho told me about Nidhog or Hresbelg. What surprised her was purely one blessing.

“Oh, what the hell happened while I wasn't looking? ”

Only a few months after the battle at Caleb Ahim.

Syria and Bragi nod, smiling bitterly, feeling the same embarrassment Caldea was feeling.

Athena acted excitedly as if she had heard a compliment.

Caldea's gaze was still on Taejo. Taeho, who had opened up some of his power, said briefly instead of explaining it for a long time.

“A lot of things happened. ”

So much has happened.

Taejo grabs Caldea's hand. I asked her, who was simultaneously raising the light of surprise, embarrassment and hope in her blue eyes.

“Tell me about King Tiachi. ”

Caldea no longer refuses. He told me everything he knew.
