Chapter 986: Civil War
Hela's rebellion was beyond many people's expectations for a while, even if she and Odin had many disputes, no one thought that the eldest princess, Odin's only heir, would launch a rebellion aimed at overthrowing Odin after a great victory.
And what no one expected was that after Hela unabashedly launched an attack on Odin, more than a third of the army immediately responded to Hela and launched an attack on the Asgard Golden Palace!
As a representative figure of the Asgardian armed faction, in fact, as a result of so many years of conquest, Hela even has a stronger influence in the army than Odin. They have been following Hela's side to fight the enemy and have won victory after victory under Hela's leadership. They trusted Hela and believed that she could lead them to greater victories, and the soldiers were strongly dissatisfied with Odin's changed foreign policy.
More than a third of the army joined Hela's side, and many more chose to remain silent, they belonged to the kind of legion that favored Hela but did not want to fight Odin, and they did not want to turn their opponents against their allies at this moment.
The remaining army, under the orders of Odin, suppressed the mutinous army.
In the beginning, it was just a battle between armies, but soon after, the civil war in Asgard covered almost everyone in the country!
You know, Asgard is definitely a country with strong people, at the beginning the civilians were still terrified because they didn't know what was going on, just because the army was fighting in the city, and then after knowing the truth, some of them chose to hide at home, while more civilians were directly divided into two camps, and the soldiers and civilians of the hostile camp fought with the civilians.
At this point, the rebellion caused by Hela, in addition to the other excessive troops stationed there, the whole of Asgard has fallen into the chaos of civil war, and on this continent suspended in the void, there are battles taking place in almost every corner, and these people who fought side by side not long ago have fallen into an endless situation at this moment because of the difference in ideas!
Especially in the vicinity of Asgard's Golden Palace, where the pinnacle duel between Hela and Odin has made the core a forbidden place for the weak, but outside of their battle range, the battle between the military and civilians has made it a complete meat grinder!
The gorgeous armor was stained with the blood of his own clan, and the weapons in his hands were driven by his master to stab at his former comrades, and the battle between the two sides was almost crazy. Not so long ago, they may have been partying with each other at a banquet, but on this day they tried to kill each other at all costs, and in such a battle, there was no honor for the two warring sides.
It can only be said that this is a sad end for both sides.
In fact, if you look at it from an objective point of view, the main reason for the outbreak of this civil war is naturally Hela's body, which cannot be washed away, but it does not mean that Odin, the old guy, is not responsible.
Hela's problem is that she has a thirst for murder and a strong desire to conquer the outside world, but to say that a person is not born to determine good and evil, nurtures are the key. Hela's own heart is a factor, but Odin also cultivated Hela in this direction, and finally made Hela his best helper in the war.
The problem now is that he doesn't want to continue the war, and as a result, his weapons get out of control.
And Odin, although he is trying to transform into a virtuous king, can't change it, and now Odin is an out-and-out tyrant!
What he wants is Asgard's absolute loyalty to him, he is the god-king of Asgard, his every word should be an unquestionable order of the people, and likewise he will not allow discordant voices around him, even his daughter!
In the face of Hela's questioning, Odin did not once calmly talk to Hela about his thoughts, but chose to suppress it with a tough attitude, which eventually caused a strong backlash from Hela, at the cost of a full-scale civil war in Asgard.
The glorious Golden Palace collapsed by half because of the battle between the two Heavenly Father-level powerhouses, and even so, it was the result of both of them restraining their strength as much as possible.
Odin held Gungnir to repel Hela's attack, his eyes still intact with anger written on it, glared at his daughter, and roared, "How dare you! ”
"Because you betrayed us!" Hela, who was already wounded, did not give up at all, and looked at the intensifying battle outside, "My great father, open your eyes and look there, if you are not the God King, how many people will be loyal to you!" ”
"I only watched your crimes, if it weren't for you, how could they have killed their own compatriots!" With Odin's voice, Gungnir's front shot a fiery golden beam of light straight at Hela.
With his arms crossed in front of him, he forcibly resisted Gungnir's attack with his body, and a large number of long swords appeared behind Hela and suddenly stabbed out to interrupt Odin's attack, Hela repaired the scars on his arms that had exposed his bones, and sneered: "They are fighting for their glory, because of you, you are depriving them of their glory!" ”
Outside of the Golden Palace, the two camps were almost evenly matched, and after some of the legions chose to remain silent, Hela had the advantage of the number of ordinary troops, with significantly more soldiers fighting for Hela than loyal to Odin's, and the reverse was true for the civilian population. But after all, civilians can't fight against real armies, especially these veterans of a hundred battles who have followed Hela all the way to fight the entire Nine Realms.
If that's the case, then the rebels belonging to Hela's camp have a very clear advantage, but unfortunately, they face the dilemma of insufficient high-end combat power.
After Ye Qianhu's Fawkes Legion left, the strongest legions in Asgard, Valkyrie, Odin's Praetorian Guard, and the Legion of the Immortals all participated in the suppression of the rebels without hesitation, and on the opposite side of them, only Fenris and a group of Heroic Spirits could barely confront them.
The truth slapped Odin in the face again, because of Ye Qianhu's departure, Odin rebuilt the Fox Legion and had high hopes for this legion, but it only formed a legion with nothing to show for itself.
After Hela's rebellion began, the Heroic Spirits of the New Fox Legion were the first to respond to Hela, and they suppressed the other soldiers of the New Fox Legion at the first time, followed by the first attack on the Golden Palace.
The New Fox Legion is a mixed legion composed of heroic spirits and ordinary soldiers, and the predecessors of these heroic spirits are all from the Fox Legion under Ye Qianhu, because of their strength, after each soldier dies in battle, as long as the soul is intact, he will be taken away by Valkyrie to become a heroic spirit.
And even if they become heroic spirits, what these soldiers have not changed is that their first loyal object is Ye Qianhu, followed by Hela!
