Chapter 615: Song of Prayer The Meaning of Death Battle
Brunhilde couldn't understand Thor's reckless decision, which was almost death-seeking. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info are obviously already at such a disadvantage, where did he get the confidence to fight to the death with the enemy. Obviously, they can only rely on the defense of the Golden Palace to barely support a line of defense now, why is he so desperate to attack instead of defending?
Looking at Thor, who was about to step out of his sight, Brunhilde was full of anxiety. Neither personally nor for the benefit of Asgard as a whole, she could not allow Thor to do so. However, she doesn't have the power to stop Thor, so she can only pin her hopes on Loki.
"Loki, you have to stop him. There is no point in doing so, it is just a simple death. ”
"No, it makes sense."
Looking at the Valkyrie with an anxious look, Loki tugged at the corners of his mouth with a gloomy face, revealing a look that wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh at all.
"I know what you mean, you think we can only defend. I can only wait until that person comes back and turns the tide. But you are ignoring a very important issue, and that is the morale of Asgard. ”
Speaking of which, Loki glanced at some of the guys who were hiding in the shadows, who had not responded to Thor's call from beginning to end, but had shrunk themselves deeper, and a very clear disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Look at these poor fellows, they don't even have the courage to fight. So, once the tide of enemies overwhelms you, do you think they'll be able to do what you expect? ”
"But is it useful to kill like Thor?"
Despite recognizing Loki's problems, Brunhild had a hard time agreeing with the approach.
"This is a matter of the survival of the whole of Asgard, and if he fails and dies there, do you know how much impact it will have on this place?"
"Of course I do!" He straightened the long hair at the back of his head and braided them into a neat ponytail. With a flash of light on Loki's body, he turned into an armor with a sword at his waist. Then she took a stride in Thor's direction, and whispered to him as she passed Brunhilde.
"So, I'm not going to let him die there. At the very least, I won't let him die in front of me. ”
"I'll go on the expedition with Thor, and you'll be tasked with guarding the Golden Palace. At the same time, we also entrust our lives to you. Tell that guy that whether or not he rescued him in time was related to my lives and Thor's lives, and we put all hope of life on him. Seriously, what a gamble! ”
"If you know it's a big gamble, then why do you want to do it!" Brunhilde didn't speak, but her eyes were full of such questions. It's not that she doesn't know what the answer is, she just can't accept such an answer.
Loki didn't answer her, because she knew she didn't need to. She just silently followed Thor's figure and left the main hall of the Golden Palace alone.
At this point, Brünnhilde was completely helpless. She could only do as Thor said, gathering the rest of the people as the last line of defense for the Golden Palace. At the same time, she inevitably resented Zhou Yi in her heart. Where are you at this time?
The gates of the Golden Palace Castle were opened, and Thor took the lead, his bright red cloak impressing everyone who looked at him with an impression that he would never forget. Elite warriors followed him closely, trampling up smoke and dust like a long dragon.
This kind of sight is not uncommon in Asgard, or it should be a common thing.
As a prince, Thor had made dozens of expeditions like this, and had brought back victories and glory again and again. It can be said that every time he marched with the cheers of the people and triumphed with cheers. Therefore, both he and the people have a special trust in him. A trust that he can overcome all enemies.
It was precisely because of this subconscious that those who had already been frightened in this war, the cowering quail-like civilians began to quietly come out of the corners, began to walk up the city walls, and watched this special army from afar.
Courage took root again from their hearts with difficulty. It brings a faint hope to those who have long been dominated by fear. They don't know what to do on their own, or no one knows what they really need to do. They just watched, wandered, whispered to each other. The entire Golden Palace is filled with a special change, like an undercurrent that is about to move under the ice, the waves are turbulent, and it seems that it may break through the wall at any time.
This strange situation continued until a loud bell rang throughout the Golden Palace.
It was Brunhild, who stood on the vantage point of the Golden Palace, sounding the alarm and sounding the sound of Gulinkenby. The sound of this alarm bell, engraved with an arrogant rooster on the surface, was so high that if it was struck, its sound could spread throughout the Golden Palace, piercing everyone's ears.
In the ancient custom of Asgard, the alarm bell rings when the warrior goes out to fight a strong enemy. At that time, every Asgardian should send his blessings and heartfelt prayers to these soldiers who went to the front.
Today, the fiasco and panic have made these Asgardians forget their ancient traditions. But the Valkyrie used the bell to remember them again.
On the top of the city walls, people began to pray. And with the first there will be the second, the third. As more and more people recall their former glory, the old ballads are floating again.
"Mayitbeaneveningstar,

Oh! Howfaryouarefromhome (?oh!) How far away are you?

Apromiseliveswithinyounow. ”
Ancient songs flow like a trickling stream, and have a calming power. And at the sound of this, those who were cowardly once again clenched their weapons in their hands, and those who fled out of fear stood on the walls of the city again.
If war is really inevitable, if death really can't be escaped. So, in the midst of this darkness, the people of Asgardian knew what to choose. Courage is being passed on, and more and more people are picking up the sword. More and more people are joining the ranks of singing. And the song faded away, and soon reached the ears of Thor, who had not gone far.
Listen to the singing as always, if not more thoroughly. The big blond man smiled brightly. Sitting on his eight-legged warhorse, he suddenly raised the Mjolnir in his hand, and the lightning surged so that every accompanying warrior could clearly see his figure.
At this time, he laughed and asked all the warriors around him.
"Do you hear that, guys? The voice from the Golden Palace, the song of our Asgard expedition. ”
Everyone looked at him, some were silent, others nodded stunned. And looking at the silent and solemn army, Thor spoke to himself.
"I know what's going on in your hearts, I know what's going on in each of you's hearts. In fact, I'm just like you. In the face of this war, which is almost impossible to win, I am the same as you. ”
"Fear, confusion, despair. The feeling of barely seeing the future, the feeling of stepping towards death. I understand everything, I understand everything. However, since you are willing to come here with me, I think you have made a decision in your hearts. I'm the same with that. ”
"We're not fighting for ourselves, we're fighting for the people behind us. Our loved ones, our friends, our lovers. Whether Asgard will survive after this is anyone's guess. As your leader, I can tell you very clearly that even I came with the consciousness of death. But I have no regrets, and I am sure that you do not regret them either. ”
"Because now if we don't resist these enemies, then we will no longer be able to resist them. If even we lose our courage, then the entire Golden Palace will no longer have any courage to resist and fight. I don't want to regret not standing up now when the butcher's knife falls on all those I hold dear, so I choose to stand up now and fight for a possible future for them with my own hands and with the weapons in my hands. Even if the future is very bleak. ”
"Since death is inevitable, why don't we fight with our swords again and see if we can hope to get it back? Whether to die with a sword in hand, or to die on your knees. Asgardian warriors, sons and daughters, tell me your answers! ”
"For Asgard!" The weapons raised in the air almost formed a forest of metal, and in front of the cold light, Thor's face showed a happy smile. At this time, his eyes fell on Loki beside him, and only at this time did his eyes show a trace of warmth and regret.
"You shouldn't have come. Thank you, though, for your willingness to come here with me. ”
"I have to come here!" Without any scruples, Loki took Thor's hand. "To me, you're all I have!" (To be continued.) )
