12. War of the gods
The Celestial Fortress of Valagare, the floating air battalion built by the guardian administrator Odin specifically for his own Heroic Army, and the huge buildings below are collectively called Valhalla. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a city that floats in the sky, and in the eyes of the local Viku people, this is the best place to go after fighting and dying, of course, few people know that Valhalla itself is actually a part of the city that Odin used his own power to intercept from the Titan city of Ulduar.
Odin himself was the most powerful of the Titans' Guardians, and the leader of the Guardians at war, so it stands to reason that he should be stationed in Ulduar's headquarters, but the disagreement between him and the Guardians has existed since before the Titans left.
Tyr helped the then Ancestral Dragon defeat the infected powerful Ancestral Dragon Clongara, and felt that he had to guard the Prison of the Old Gods and defend against the invasion of the Elemental Lord, and had no time to maintain the stability of the world, so Tyr stepped forward and asked the Titan to give the Ancestral Dragon Titan power, which was the reason for the emergence of the Five Guardian Dragon Legions.
But Odin distrusts the natives of Azeroth, and is more likely to be worried about their highly free intelligence, because Odin knows that the freer the wisdom, the easier it is to be lured by the Old Gods and other dark forces, and he is determined to build a strong force of complete loyalty to maintain the stability of Azeroth.
The other Guardians thought that Odin had done too much, and even a fierce dispute broke out, and eventually Odin fled in anger and intercepted a part of Ulduar to make Valhalla, using the loyal Veku people with strong fighting power and extremely strong souls as their own source of soldiers, the Heroic Spirits.
In fact, the eventual fall of the Black Dragon King, the guardian of the earth, Nesario, also proves that Odin's views are not all extreme and wrong, but overall, Odin is a guy who is not liked.
In the face of the existence that is not recognized by him, he appears arrogant and rude, and those who have been recognized by their own strength will be courteous to him.
And the only indicator of his value in judging a creature is strength! the power of the body, the power of the soul!
That's why Gavincent Skowald was recognized by him, the kind of strength and will that the Viku people had gained in a thousand battles was simply the most perfect warrior in Odin's mind.
But now, the Firmament Fortress Waragarh, and the entire Valhalla, are in the midst of war.
This is a battle against the gods and the Viku heavens, and the opponent, naturally, is also a god.
The mist shrouded the once-glorious golden sky, the mountains that carried the base of Valhalla burned, pale flames licking the walls of this glorious golden temple, and the roars of the behemoths, and the dead who came out of the mist, expressionless and radiating the power of shadows.
On the other side, the Viku warriors who had arrived from Skod Ehir and Hedashar were also wearing rudimentary armor and carrying weapons in their hands, and rushed into the battlefield of life and death in a frenzy, pursuing the supreme glory they longed for in the black smoke that filled the sky and danced in the blood.
"Defend Odin!
A roaring, horned warrior, covered in blood-red rage and blood, dragged his axe out of the line strewn with corpses, slashing the mist-like dead souls of the Veku who lunged at him in front of him, and himself, pierced through the heart and abdomen by three gray-white spears pierced from the mist, and was never to live again after roaring Odin's name and rushing into the mist with a fatal wound.
The magical-like opponent he smashed, in fact, the moment he was chopped up, he was reborn in the fog of another place, and then chopped by another warrior.
After going back and forth like this three times, this misty Veku was truly dead.
In fact, he had already died once.
These misty Viku are the dead souls of the Viku who rushed out of Hoswald and the Harbor of the Scorn, and they have an evil name called Kovadir, the "unjust souls of the dead country" in the language of the Viku, they are undead creatures that are very similar to the undead, and belong to the Shadow Nation of the god of death Hela.
Hela has endowed these Viku warriors with mist-like bodies and near-immortal wills, and every few hundred years, they are driven to attack Valhalla, and farther away, on the sea that has been completely shrouded in mist, bone warships are laid across the mist, they are alone in the mist, they look lonely, but they are not.
In the tattered warships, which were filled with seaweed and bones, and which looked like they were about to sink in the next moment, their badly damaged decks were juxtaposed with an almost infinite army.
Their bodies were the color of rotting flesh, their hair wet and pale, their armor made of the bones of sea creatures, and their eerie bony spears in their hands, the sea frozen in the cold breath wherever they stood.
In the looming mist, this army is cast of dead steel, eerie and chilling, they are the elite of Hela, the undead army of the Cordivar camp.
This is much more spectacular than the Lich King's Undead Scourge, and frankly speaking, the strength of this army is much stronger than the Undead Scourge, if it is this army that invades the civilized world, even if 1W Dick comes, it can only wait for death in despair.
This is not an army that belongs to the human world, and it will not appear in the human world.
This is a war that has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years.
The fog shrouded the large square beneath Valhalla, the square that was once used to worship Odin, had become a battlefield of flesh and blood filled with death, and the fog enveloped the land, constantly eroding the square, and the valiant Viku warriors fought to the death, but still could not hide the fact that they were retreating.
But even so, they have not lost their fighting spirit, and they can't even see the slightest discouragement, but have become more fanatical.
Putting Buddha is... What are you looking forward to?
The next moment, the light, the endless rays of light, pierced the haze brought by the mist, like a spear of light falling from the sky, sweeping away all the coldness, and when the incomparably rampant mist came into contact with this light, it seemed to let out a substantial scream, wailing and fleeing.
And the surviving Viku warriors below did not care about the fog and necromancers around them, nor the dirt of the ground, with blood and scars all over their bodies, they sincerely knelt on the ground, bathed in this golden light, their expressions were fanatical and serene.
"Odin!
The surviving Viku still had blood on their faces, the scorching light in their eyes that seemed to melt steel, and in their anticipation, the neighing of golden pegasus resounded across the land, it was the Valkyrie on the golden flying horse, they had golden wings on their backs, they wore winged helmets, they were all dressed in brilliant armor, and they held shining war spears, and the blood-red banners wrapped around the war spears hunted and waved in the air.
A golden light filled the sky behind them.
More than a dozen Valkyries lined up in a sharp formation in the air, and under the leadership of the biggest, most heroic, and most imposing Valkyrie, they paraded through the air, and where they rushed through, the souls of those Viku who had died heroically were embraced by the light from their dead bodies, turning into pillars of light that rose into the sky.
In the tradition of the Viku people, they call this ritual promotion, which is the greatest desire of a Viku warrior and the most glorious glory.
"With Odin's will, you are accepted, warriors, and you will fight for Odin for endless time!"
The sonorous voices of the golden vargries, that is, those Valkyries, reverberated throughout the sky, and at the very top of these pillars of light, the dazzling light appeared into a golden giant gate, like a black sword separated in the center, and in the divided chasm, filled with endless light.
Like a great gate separating the earthly and the heavenly, there was a brilliant bridge of light like a rainbow of light in front of it, spanning the clouds, and the glorious chants spread throughout the battlefield when the gate appeared, rendering them like a mythical battle.
It was the Gate of the High and the Bridge of the Rainbow, the most widely praised miracle in Valhalla, and those who had ascended to the bridge that was truly like a rainbow turned into dots of golden light, like a stream of light in a sea of gold, and rushed into the gap between the Gate of the Highest.
And the next moment, countless rains of light fell from the sky, it was a giant who was taller and stronger than the ordinary Viku, wearing gorgeous armor and enchanted weapons, and his whole body skin was shining with gold and silver, like a mythical warrior, their faces were resolute, and their eyes had turned cold blue.
They are the Viku Warriors who have just been promoted, but after the baptism of the High Gate, they have become a different kind of creature - the Heroic Spirits!
It was the army of salvation that Odin had prepared for the world, but had now been forced into the endless war with Hela.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The newly-born Heroic Spirits flapped their metal bodies and held their weapons aloft, and led by the golden Vagri Valkyries in the sky, launched a counterattack with the surviving Viku warriors, while on Hela's side, the gray fog lifted, and the ordinary Viku necromancers, under Hela's will, returned to the Shadow Country, replaced by the elite Kvadir warriors on the dilapidated ghost ships.
It was an elite soldier that Hela had assembled in almost the exact same way to deal with Odin's Immortal Legion.
And so, in the midst of glorious war drums and chants, in the pervasive sounds of death and screams, the armies of light and darkness collided, and after the end of the mortal war, the game between the gods began.
The Heroic Spirits and the Necrons collided together, and the energy storm that stirred up wiped out everything in this square, and those mortals could not survive this kind of war at all, and then they were escorted into Valhalla by Vagri, and the elite of Kovadir who died in the battle were also re-engulfed by the fog, and the cycle began again and again, releasing a ridiculous cycle.
This war is not more noble because of it, but it seems... More bloody, more brutal.
At the edge of the palace in the golden clouds, by the rainbow bridge, a tall figure stood there, the flame-like light gathered around him, making him look even greater with his unique horned helmet, he was holding a silver-white spear in his hand, looking at the war below, his face was sad and joyless, his beard like scorching magma scattered on his chest, and the shining one-eyed, all made him look like a real god.
That is Odin, the chief manager of the Titan Guardians, the leader of wartime, and the most powerful of the Guardians.
Beside him was a Valhallic knight in heavy armor, carrying a heavy sword and wielding a horn, the first servant made by Odin himself, the bravest Heimdall, the leader of the Valhallic Legion, and the gatekeeper of Wallagar.
On Odin's other side, there was the most powerful Valkyrie just now, the high-ranking Vagliel, the leader of all Vagri, Odin's armed handmaiden.
This is the leader of Valhalla, and at the end of Odin's eyes that have seen through the mist, in the deepest part of the mist, under the sea of chaos, there is a pair of hazy eyes also looking at the three people on the clouds, her twisted and terrifying body and tentacles entrenched on the throne made of real bones, behind her throne are the souls of the Viku who have drowned in the ocean, which is the manifestation of her kingdom.
Ruler of the Shadow Country, the Grim Reaper, Hela.
Also... Odin's adopted daughter.
At the touch of Hela's fingers was a dreaded dog with a white skull, three twisted heads, six eyes, and a body larger than a dragon, the rumored gatekeeper of the Shadow Country, Gorm.
Hela's pets were and are now.
The two most powerful forces in the Broken Isles and the entire world are fighting to the death in this small war, like two beasts trying to kill each other, but this war will never end until the strength of one side is completely exhausted.
The creatures of the Broken Isles never think about the justice and necessity of this war.
It's like no one ever knows which side of Odin or Hela is the real evil.
On the battlefield where life is gone, these are the most stupid questions.
Perhaps the only ones who deserve mercy are the Viku people who fight each other for their faith, there is no life, no death, only fighting... There is only fighting.
But that's never where the glory lies.
