The Valkyries are an elite force, and of course there can't be just nine council members, each of whom leads a group of elite female warriors.

The Valhallic warriors were mostly male, and were guided to Asgard by the Valkyries and came under the direct rule of Odin.

The souls of those warriors who died bravely were intercepted by the Valkyrie Council, and they underwent rigorous training and assessment before they could be awarded the official title of Valkyrie.

With the exception of Sigrune, who sits in charge of the council, each council member has his or her own area of responsibility, corresponding to the eight kingdoms except Asgard.

Odin's corruption of the Valkyries was top-down, and Higgrune sensed the strangeness of the council members early on, and personally sealed them and the Valkyries under their respective commands.

According to Hicruan's speculation, those ordinary Valkyries who were sealed should not have been affected by the Leader's Fallen Curse, and as long as they were unsealed, they could immediately form combat power.

Valkyries were fierce and unruly warriors, they did not obey the orders of any outsiders, not even Odin could directly order them, only their respective leaders and the original Valkyrie King Freya had this authority.

In order to prevent the Valkyrie from joining the battle early under Freya's call, Higer Lune accepted Lu Xiao's suggestion and did not wake up these subordinates for the time being.

On the one hand, it is because they have not yet regained the divinity of their new bodies, and on the other hand, they want to wait until Freya is really calm down before contacting her.

"Valkyrie ......"

Yuhemi hesitated: "Can they be trusted?" ”

Mimir spoke at this time and vouched: "Believe me, Yuhemi, the Valkyries will not hate Odin less than you and me, and it is unacceptable for Odin to tarnish their glory. ”

Mimir, the Giant of Wisdom, had been old friends with most of the high-ranking members of the Giant Clan for many years, and his words carried a lot of weight among the Giant Clan, and most of the Giants were willing to believe the words of the First Wise Man of the Nine Realms.

"Okay."

Yuhemi adopted Mimir's suggestion as always, and he said solemnly to Lu Xiao: "With Mimir as a guarantee, I am willing to believe you." ”

The cooperation has been preliminarily finalized, and Mimir will be responsible for docking with the giant, and Lu Xiao will only be responsible for the general direction of decision-making, as always, as a hands-off shopkeeper.

Before Ragnarok officially begins, the Giants do not plan to attack Asgard on their own initiative.

Odin's small actions over the years have inevitably weakened the giant's overall strength, and excellent military commanders such as Starcade have long been uprooted by his design.

To put it simply, the foundation of the giant is still there, but it is a little green and yellow in terms of high-end talents.

A new generation of giants such as Falia and Ushtaha are still growing, and it is difficult for them to fully take over the burden left to them by their ancestors, and it is likely that they will fall into Odin's hands and be self-defeating.

"We need to unite all the available forces of the Nine Realms, Odin's increasingly hysterical rule over the years has offended many races, what we need to do is to use ourselves as an example and banner to induce their resentment."

Lu Xiao solemnly suggested to Yuhmi: "Considering the fighting power of the Asaph Protoss, what we need most is the help of their former mortal enemy, the Warner Protoss. ”

Yuhemi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Is it that easy?" Although the Warner Protoss and the Asaph Protoss are not dealing with each other, their attitude towards our giants is not very good. ”

Mimir asked thoughtfully, "Brother, you don't plan to use Freya......"

"Nope."

Lu Xiao shook his head: "Let's not mention the bad relationship between me and Freya, the Warner Protoss has long stopped treating Freya as one of their own." ”

At first, Freya married Odin in order to bring peace to the Warners, but her actions were not understood by all the Warners, and many of the Warners still regard Freya as a traitor.

"It's not enough to blindly play the emotional card, I said it ugly, common interests are the most suitable link to connect various forces."

There is no affection between countries in the first place, and even if the two parties marry, it is only out of political considerations.

Historically, the in-laws of European countries have been intricately intertwined, and the royal families of various countries seem to be related by blood, but they will not hesitate to fight when they have their own interests.

"As long as we promise the Warner Protoss a promise of benefits that they cannot refuse, I believe that the Warner Protoss' top brass will agree to the request for a secret alliance."

Mimir thought for a moment and said, "What the Warner Protoss want, everyone knows the Nine Realms, and they want to replace the Asaph Protoss as the ruler of the Nine Realms. ”

Lu Xiao sneered and said, "Then promise them, but make it clear to them in advance." ”

"If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, and if you want to be recognized by the races of the Nine Realms, they must show their momentum in the battle of Ragnarok."

Beginning with Belgmir, the rulers of the Giant Clan have always lacked domineering, and they do not have the same fanatical demands for control of the Nine Realms as the two Great Divine Clans.

The giants' upper echelons are well aware of the weakness of their own race - the population problem.

The high consumption of resources and low population growth make it difficult for them to fight a protracted war against the two major gods, and they will only fight more and more.

From this point of view, Belgomir was indeed far-sighted, and he set a low-key development program for the giants in advance.

Blindly expanding without recognizing one's own position will only lead to the destruction of the entire giant race.

The Warner Protoss is not a good fighting force, and the Asaph Protoss is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.

During the period when the peace agreement was reached with the Warner Protoss, Asgard accelerated its penetration into the Nine Realms, and gradually opened some gaps with the Warner Protoss in terms of overall strength.

This is not a big difference, but if the two sides completely tear their faces and fight to the death, Asgard will definitely survive to the end.

Even if Asgard is defeated with the help of giants, the Warner Protoss should suffer heavy losses, and it is impossible for them to be as arrogant as Asgard when they get the domination of the Nine Realms after the war.

Aside from the Warners, the giants need the help of their distant relative, the Fire Giants of Muspelheim.

Most of the giants who followed Belgemir to Jotunheim were known as the Frost Giants and were related to the Fire Giants, but they didn't have a close relationship because of their incompatible attributes.

Muspelheim was ruled by the first fire giant, Surtr, who was born second only to the primordial giant Ymir, and was of a very high generation, and has not died until now.

Surtr did not value the duties of the king, and spent most of the year forging his weapon in the core of Muspelheim, an artifact destined to appear in Ragnarok, the Flaming Sword.

Although the Flaming Sword is an artifact, it has only one purpose - to burn Asgard to ashes.

It was prophesied that Surtr would die at the hands of Thor and Odin, but his decisive blow would also burn the glorious kingdom of the Asaph Protoss, which is the mission of Surtr to this day.

"Convincing Surter is not a big problem, this is his inescapable fate, and the rest ......"

Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed: "It depends on how the elves of Alfheim and the dwarves of Swatheim choose sides." ”
