Chapter 535: We were here first!
A few days later, in the land of giants.
Four golden rays of light passed through the diffuse blizzard and landed in the center of the alien village.
"Password!" A lively and solemn question came from mid-air.
"It's me."
"Wrong answer..."
The familiar sense of déjà vu made the Valkyrie in mid-air startled for a moment. She quickly pulled up the white hood on her head, and when she saw the figure on the ground clearly, she immediately stuck out her tongue and quickly changed her words.
"Lord Loki, you are back!"
Seeing the iconic pink hair and playful behavior, Lorne couldn't help but laugh:
"Hilde, are you on duty in the village today?"
"Yes, today Slude will be in charge of the outer patrol, I will be in charge of the village's defense, and Ortlinde will be in charge of teaching the villagers how to identify herbs and avoid monsters."
Hildreth flapped her wings and landed, chattering and explaining in front of Lorne, her pink hair shaking back and forth, and her cheerful tone made people feel that she was full of energy.
The three Valkyries who came to the underworld to serve are not only the best in the Valkyrie Corps in terms of strength, but also have their own unique words, deeds and personalities.
The golden-haired niece Slud is strong and steady, good at coordination, and is a commander type; the black-haired Otlinde is proficient in swordsmanship, likes reading, is quiet and intellectual, and is responsible for logistics and think tank work; the pink-haired Hildre is more active and lively, and is used to chattering non-stop, and is responsible for the atmosphere of the team.
Of course, apart from these differences, they also have one thing in common.
——Very beautiful.
Soon, the other two Valkyries who heard the noise also rushed over, surrounded their leader Loen, and reported their recent work in an orderly manner.
That distinctive personality, coupled with top-notch looks, livened up the atmosphere around them for a moment. Loen couldn't help but be infected by his three subordinates. His mood became more cheerful, and he smiled more often.
Although I don’t have any thoughts in that regard, I have to admire the charm of Odin’s careful selection.
At least in terms of aesthetics, he and his blood brother have relatively consistent views.
“Ahem…”
Just as Loen was busy dealing with the young ladies around him, Shikoti, who was following behind him, couldn't help but cough to express her dissatisfaction.
Luo En came back to his senses, slapped his forehead, and quickly introduced to Slude and the other two:
"These three are the Valkyries I just selected from outside. Their names are..."
As Lorne turned his gaze behind him, the three Norn goddesses reported the vests they had prepared in advance:
"Ulud..."
"Belle..."
"Shikulud!"
The three voices, one steady, one gentle, and one complacent, also highlight their distinct personalities.
Newcomer?
The three Valkyries were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then looked at the three goddesses of Norn with a hint of scrutiny and vigilance in their eyes.
As Valkyries with both strong force and high IQ, and with the example of their eldest sister Brunhilde, no matter how dumb they are, they can at least understand the purpose of their father Odin sending them to the mortal world.
The mission to capture this superior has not made any progress yet, but after not seeing him for a few days, three more Valkyries have appeared by his side.
This situation made Slude and the other two feel a sense of crisis.
Although they were not interested in seduction and were not good at it, they had originally planned to just do it perfunctorily, but now it seemed that if they did not work harder, they would probably follow in the footsteps of their eldest sister Brunhilde and be exiled to the remote border to suffer the cold wind.
When they thought about facing the gloomy face of their father god Odin and the disguised punishment of being hidden after returning to Asgard, the three Valkyries who regarded the battlefield as a stage shuddered, looked at each other, and decisively launched an offensive.
Pink-haired Hilde and black-haired Ortlinde stepped forward, holding up Lorne's arms. The blonde Hilde was the spearhead, and together with the two sisters behind them, they formed a perfect triangle formation with the functions of encirclement, protection, division, and charge. They were like a group of female wolves defending their territory and swearing sovereignty to foreign enemies. They said solemnly to the three newcomers who had just joined:
"New here, right?"
“It still requires practice.”
"The patrol, guard and teaching tasks are left to you. We also have to report to the adults!"
As he said that, Slud raised his hand and waved. The pink-haired Hildrede and the black-haired Ortlinde, who were forming a double team, lifted up Lorne's arms and prepared to drag the boss into the small dark room in the little loli Gerda's house.
Shi Kodi was stunned at first, then she reacted and said angrily:
"Hey, you three, stop right there! Why should I do this kind of rough work?"
What kind of patrol, garrison, and teaching work? You must be kidding!
She is the goddess of fate, and old Odin has to speak in a low voice when he sees her.
Slude stopped, turned to look at Shikoti, and asked:
"This is how all newcomers come here. Why, you don't accept it?"
"Of course! You are not qualified to order me around!" Shikoti snorted coldly with her neck stiff.
"It seems that as seniors, we need to teach you the rules of the legion."
Slud waved his hand, and Hildrede and Ortlinde behind him let go of Loen's arms, rolled up their sleeves with ill intentions, and surrounded Shikoti in a double-team, obviously familiar with this process.
Seeing this, Luo En rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Sure enough, workplace bullying is inevitable in any era.
Especially in a group like the military that advocates violence, fists are the greatest principle and rule.
But this time, Slude and the other two clearly chose the wrong opponent.
The three new recruits he personally recruited were not low-level Valkyries, but the three Norn goddesses who controlled fate.
Not to mention the three of them coming together, even if the Valkyrie Queen Freya came, she would most likely have to kneel.
At this moment, seeing the three Valkyries approaching with ill intentions, Shikoti did not get angry but smiled, rolled up her sleeves and responded:
"You want to fight, right? Come on, all three of you, come on!"
Seeing this, Slude and the other two were stunned.
How come this time's newcomers are even more arrogant than us?
But then, waves of anger rose in the hearts of the three of them.
He has no respect for his seniors. He is no longer an ordinary recruit, but a rioter who wants to challenge order!
A heavy punch! A heavy punch must be delivered!
Then, Slude and the other two turned to look at Loen, their faces full of anticipation.
Seeing that both sides were eager to try, Luo En said helplessly:
"There's a lot of space outside, don't do it in the village. If you break something, you have to repair it."
"Yeah!" The three nodded excitedly.
"Stop it now. Do not use large-scale killing magic. Do not kill people. You must take care of the seriously injured."
“Hmmmm!”
The three of them agreed readily, then led Shikoti to the deserted snowfield outside the village with a sneer.
Little did people know that Loen's last sentence was directed to Shikoti.
As the four figures left one after another, the kind-hearted Belldandy couldn't help but ask:
"How about I go over and take a look?"
"No need. How can you avoid getting hurt in this line of work? Besides, the war between gods is about to begin. Letting them suffer a little in advance and temper their tempers will only benefit them, not harm them."
Lorne waved his hand to decline Belldandy's kindness, and then walked into Gerda's cottage with the two goddesses of fate.
The house is small, but as always clean and tidy.
Seeing Lorne coming in, Gerda and her sister Gay ran over with surprise, and busied themselves serving tea and water to the three guests, preparing snacks, and chattering about their experiences since Lorne left.
While living with the three Valkyries, including Hildreth, they learned a lot about potions and magic, and aspired to become a beautiful and powerful Valkyrie, just like Hildreth and the other two, to protect the village and help more people in need.
Lorne listened with a smile, expressing affirmation and encouragement from time to time.
After satisfying the two little girls' desire to talk, he patted their heads and sent them out to pick some ingredients on the pretext of preparing a meal.
The two little human girls carried baskets and skipped out of the house, greeting the giants, dwarves, and elves along the way, and informing the villagers of the return of the guardian Lorne.
The villagers couldn't help but reveal their heartfelt surprise on their faces, and gradually, the whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After witnessing the scene in the village, Urd turned around and looked at Lorne who was drinking tea in the house. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised:
"You seem very welcome here?"
“I just did what I could.”
Luo En took a sip of tea and said frankly,
"Of course, I am not without any selfish motives. To start a war of gods, we need huge human and material support, and stability in the rear is a must. Therefore, before we officially go to war with the Irish-Celtic God Age, we must at least resolve the conflicts within the Nordic world. Even if we cannot resolve them, at least we must ease them. And this village may be an opportunity for the Nine Realms to usher in peace and for all races to coexist."
"So, whether it's selfishness or public-spiritedness, the two are not sometimes in conflict, and can be treated as the same thing?"
Belldandi was lost in thought, and couldn't help but recall what the man in front of her had said.
He wants to live, and he wants more people to live;
He hopes that his world will continue, and he also hopes that this world will continue.
Perhaps, there is more than one way to achieve the two goals: both sides will suffer the same fate.
Similarly, Urd also realized this, and his eyes looking at Lorne, the Outer Realm God, were less wary and more gentle.
As the atmosphere on the field became more harmonious, Uldrake sat down with his sister Belldandy and began to discuss the God War Plan:
"Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
"Let's go back to Asgard first and help Odin stabilize the situation. By the way, ask Frigga for directions and find out the location and military strength of the Irish-Celtic Age of Gods."
Lorne paused, then looked at Urd and Belldandy.
"During this period, I want you to keep [that person] as stable as possible."
Urd and Belldandi understood and nodded seriously.
As the disorder of fate intensified, continuous noise appeared in the [Great Symphony]. Their father god had shown signs of waking up, and through the power of fate, he was intentionally or unintentionally urging the arrival of [Twilight of the Gods].
Right now, if they want to hide the truth from the Father God and prepare enough sacrifices to give birth to the Reality of Destiny before the outbreak of Ragnarok, they must play the Great Music again and let the Father God continue to sleep.
Fortunately, Shikoti, who had given up before, has been found, and Loen, the variable from outside the domain, has also formally signed an alliance with the three goddesses of Norn.
Next, as long as both parties cooperate sincerely, they can conceal the truth, achieve their goals, and get what they need.
Of course, trying to fool fate and challenge Orlaug's authority is doomed to be bumpy.
Because fate itself is corrective, the three goddesses of Norn are only the executors of fate, not the absolute rulers.
Thinking of this, Urd and Belldandi felt a little uneasy in their hearts, and a trace of worry appeared on their faces.
"Don't worry, I just want you to buy some time. I don't really want you to have a falling out with Orlaug."
Luo En smiled and comforted him, and continued to paint the cake.
"As long as things go smoothly, the continuation of Northern Europe and your safety will not be a problem."
After repeated persuasion, Urd and Bellandi gradually calmed down their doubts and turned to discuss more details of the cooperation with Lorne.
By the time the three of them had basically decided on the general strategy of [God War] and [Sacrifice], it was already noon, and the two sisters Gerda, who had been collecting food, had returned.
Coming back with them were Slude, Shikoti and four others who had just finished a fight.
Of course, the result was undoubtedly a crushing defeat for Slude's side.
As soon as they entered the door, the three Valkyries with bruised faces and noses hurriedly lowered their heads, trying to avoid the sight of Commander Loen so as not to let him see their embarrassing appearance.
But as the winner, Shikoti didn't want to miss the opportunity to taunt her opponent, and boasted arrogantly:
"Hey, are these the Valkyries under your command? I heard that the three of them are captain-level figures? Not that great."
Seeing that Shi Kodi, a subordinate, dared to pat Loen's shoulder and speak frivolously with a sarcastic tone, Slude, who attached great importance to order, was immediately a little angry, and stiffened his neck to save face for Loen and his sisters:
"Have you said enough? We are no match for you. That only means that we have not practiced enough and our skills are inferior to yours. But this does not mean that the entire Valkyrie Corps is incompetent! It has nothing to do with Lord Loki!"
"Yo, you're still not convinced after losing, right?"
Shi Koti glanced at the three indignant people and sneered,
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're incapable, I'm saying the entire Valkyrie is trash! Not even one of them can fight!"
"you!"
Slude and the other two were so angry that their pretty faces turned red and they were shaking all over.
"What do you mean by 'you'? If you lose, you must accept the punishment. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention!"
Shikoti slapped Slude's arm away and said arrogantly,
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you don't agree, you can just call those Valkyries to challenge me!"
This is too much! This is too much!
Being ridiculed like this, Slude and the other two could no longer bear it. They gritted their teeth and looked at their boss Loen together.
Luo En drank the tea and said faintly:
"Let's pack up today and arrange things in the village. We'll go back to the Asgard tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Slude and the other two couldn't help but clench their fists, feeling excited.
Asgard is the headquarters of the Valkyrie Legion, and it is full of active and retired Valkyrie masters.
They just didn't believe it. Could it be that even if they searched the entire Valkyrie Legion, they still couldn't defeat a new recruit?
Go back tomorrow and call someone!
