Shadow of the Beautiful World

War is black.

Just like the color left after a wildfire burned the earth, the beautiful grassland exuding fragrance has turned into ugly scars, and ashes are flying from the extinguished fire.

In the silent march of the frost giants, the ashes were carried high into the air by the cold wind, and then fell back to the frozen earth.

The howling wind whipped up the falling snow and mixed with the ashes.

The land that should have been covered in silver has also become dirty. From a high altitude, it looks like a highly burned patient moaning in pain.

Black ravens flapped their wings across the devastated ground, which was no longer the good old days.

At the end of the deadly battlefield, the corpses of frost giants and Asgardian warriors mingled together.

Those giants will turn into ice sculptures after death, using their last breath to freeze everything around them.

Their corpses are full of spears, swords, and the masters of those weapons, the warriors in armor.

On their frozen faces, there is also a roaring expression, which is lifelike.

The ice-carved walls that covered the vast expanses of the land represented the frost giants' failures and failures.

But the corpses of the defenders and the decorations of the ice sculptures also represented that while the Frost Giants failed, the Asgardian army that defended and counterattacked did not win a hearty victory.

After nearly half a month of confrontation between the two sides, the frost giants finally occupied this plain leading to the prosperous land.

Amid the impatience of the frost savage beasts, the chiefs of the frost giants commanded their troops to cross the tents left by the Asgardian soldiers, and completely destroyed those objects that represented resistance.

The tenacious Shenyu people took the initiative to retreat.

General Sif's army blocked the main force of the frost giants in the blackened wilderness, buying enough time for the elves in Alfheim to transfer.

Soldiers who are warlike and honor-oriented don't want to just retreat.

But the orders from God's Domain forced them to obey, and surrendered the battlefield that was soaked in the blood and lives of tens of thousands of compatriots.

This is Yalfheim, the hometown of elves.

Unfortunately, the singing and singing of the elves can no longer be heard here.

Tender peace is driven from here by savage war, and Hope is driven from its home while weeping.

The good times are over.

The age of war has come.

Amidst the sound of the low horn, despair and brutality spread, and the threatened could only hide within the thick and high walls, and the hand that originally plucked the strings clenched the weapon.

The eyes of the children are blocked by the blocked city and the fluttering battle flags, and they can no longer see their hometown.

On the city wall lined with banners, two old friends are saying goodbye.

Wearing a full suit of armor, carrying a cloak, and wearing a long sword, General Sif looked at the direction of the battlefield. After a few minutes, she turned to the defense general of Alfheim beside her, Hogan, who was also one of Thor's friends. General said:

Sure enough, the frost giants have changed their course. They are going through the Dark Moon Forest to where the dark elves gather.

Sif said with a cold face:

Their war goal is very clear, which is to cross Yalfheim and go to Asgard in the shortest possible time.

The frost giants with poor military discipline didn't even split up to plunder. It seems that the Winter Goddess can indeed restrain these savage giants.

She's shaping them into the true Legion, not the barbarians they used to be.

General Hogan, who participated in the previous war as a reinforcement, also said:

You have also seen the changes in the frost giants on the battlefield. They have become more fearless and more organized in battle. The chiefs who were fighting each other seem to have let go of their conflicts.

Things are bad, Sif.

The general with black eyes and long black hair patted the cold city wall, and he said to Sif:

I heard that Vostager is also retreating, Muspelheim's defense line is moving back, and Fandral's several legions are also withdrawing their troops from Niflheim.

Hogan looked around and asked in a low voice:

The Golden Palace seems to be planning to gather all the legions back to Asgard itself? Didn't your brother tell you the details of the war plan?

He said it.

Sif shrugged, and she said softly:

But I can't tell you. I can only say that the first stage of the war affecting eight countries is over. The next battlefield is not in other places, but in God's Domain.

I want to go back.

Sif held the hilt of the sword at her waist, and she said to her good friend Hogan:

The frost giants are the vanguard, the Fire Lord's army is the main body, the nightmare creations are the flanks, the dark elves are their intelligence officers, and now there is Hela's underworld army as backup.

The forces opposing Asgard in the entire Nine Kingdoms have united, and they have only one goal, which is to overthrow the rule of Asgard.

Sif said:

This is the cruelest war in the millennium. The situation is very dangerous, but as long as we survive, we will still be able to embrace peace in the next millennium.

In short, the battlefield of Alfheim will be handed over to you.

The female general said to Hogan:

Don't worry about Asgard. Heimdall has already established a perfect line of defense there. As long as the God King wakes up, we can immediately launch a thunderous counterattack!

The people of God's Domain are never afraid to fight against giants and the servants of the Lord of Fire, but entrenched in this world, those cunning dark elves

I know!

Hogan turned his head to look in the direction of the Darkmoon Forest, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said:

The leader of the elves handed over the command of part of the army to me, plus the two legions in my hand, after you leave, I will complete my mission very well.

When the news of Asgard's victory comes back, these dark elves will also usher in their long-overdue doom.

Um

Sif nodded. She had no doubts about the fighting power of Hogan and his legion. After eliminating the influence of the frost giants, it was not a big problem for the heroic Asgardians to defeat a group of dark elves.

Although the main battlefield of the war has been transferred to the mainland of God's Domain, the battlefields of other worlds will not be silent because of this.

Those rebels put all their eggs in one basket and marched together towards Asgard, but this also exposed their rear. In Niflheim, General Fandral has also begun a large-scale elimination of the local Nightmare servants.

Although the God King Odin has entered the God's Sleep, he still has a grasp of the war, and his strategy is already very clear at this time.

Odin intends to finish his work in one battle!

Attract all the rebel armies to God's Domain, and then fight a war of annihilation!

Smash all the rebels in these world tree star domains at once!

Moreover, Sif also heard some gossip from her brother, General Heimdall, the gatekeeper.

I heard that God's Domain is not fighting alone this time.

The God King already has a powerful but secretive reinforcement army, which will be the biggest surprise for the Dark Alliance!

A few minutes later, Hogan sent Sif to the opened Rainbow Bridge. When Sif was about to leave, Hogan suddenly asked:

I heard that Thor and Loki went to the stars to perform a secret mission?

right.

A trace of worry flashed across Sif's face, she said:

I don't know what kind of thinking the Queen of Heaven is out of to let Thor, who has lost his divine power, perform such a task, and I am very worried about that Loki!

Hasn't Rocky performed very well these years?

Hogan said in surprise:

Although he lost the Box of Winter, he also followed the God King to eradicate Nightmare's lair. Without his courageous actions at that time, the war we are facing now will only be more troublesome.

Loki is still lacking, but even I have to admit that he is changing, more and more like Thor. He is no longer the childish god of mischief he used to be, and he has begun to dedicate himself to God's Domain power.

No, you don't understand.

Sif gave Hogan a complicated look.

The news that Loki offended the king of vanity and was turned into Loki has not yet spread. A straight man like Hogan thinks that Sif is worried about Loki's character, but it is not.

Sif was worried about more personal matters, and she had seen Loki once before.

Even as a woman, Sif couldn't hold herself back against the coquettish Luo Ji

Not to mention Thor, the man Loki grew up with.

The two of them were still alone.

If something hell happened along the way, Sif would be desperate.

There is a saying in Midgard that only men understand men better

And no one can understand Loki's thoughts, in case she has some thoughts

Sif couldn't think about it anymore.

After returning to Asgard, it seems that I have to take time to go to the Great Rune Tower. If Tan Tantian Queen's tone can quickly settle the marriage between himself and Thor, Sif will feel more at ease.

Now this situation is really a bit too weird.

Hahaha

In the mechanical palace of the waste land, Lord Raven saw the expression on the face of Sif who walked into the Rainbow Bridge in front of him, and he couldn't help but let out a series of laughter.

Sif is also his friend, the bold and bold female general who is not good at hiding her thoughts.

Even though this was just what Victor saw when he flew over the sky of Alfheim, Merlin could still see the irritability of the female general from the expression on Sif's face.

Not just out of worries about the war, but also my own love.

It's a stroke of genius.

Merlin rubbed his chin, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his blue eyes, and he said softly:

I knew this was so interesting, maybe I should have done it a long time ago, Loki and Thor, tsk tsk, a match made in heaven.

But all smiles, Maharaja Merlin did not relax his observation.

On the projection in front of him, Viktor, the spirit of the raven, was soaring in the sky of Alfheim, sharing everything he saw with his master.

Before that, it had flown through the worlds of Niflheim, Muspelheim and Walter Alheim.

Lord Raven is using this method to observe the current situation of the Nine Realms War.

It has to be said that the power of the dark coalition that Skadi has created is very bluffing at first glance.

At the same time that the frost giants in Jotunheim rushed into the elves' land and officially started war with Asgard.

Muspelheim's flame army also broke through Asgard's defenses, and Niflheim's nightmare servants also launched an offensive.

The three worlds are in a horrific war, Asgard itself is struggling, and other worlds are in turmoil.

In just a few days of fighting, the God King lost more than 8 legions of the God's Domain. Asgard's defense circle is rapidly closing, and it looks like a peak of soldiers that cannot withstand the coalition forces is being routed.

But this is just the strategy of the God King.

As Sif said, Odin intends to lure the dark alliance into the land of Asgard, where a decisive battle will begin.

This is a very risky strategy, but it is not difficult to guess.

Asgard's fighters can gain strength on the land of God's Domain, but with the Rainbow Bridge restraining them, the dark coalition forces can only enter God's Domain in batches, which will lead to the worst refueling war.

As long as the God King's legion withstands the first wave of attacks from the dark coalition forces, it will be able to drag the battle into a war of attrition.

But if that's all it is, the dark coalition has a great chance of winning. After all, it is a union of several worlds, and it is far superior to the Asgardians fighting alone, both in terms of military power and resources.

The natives of other worlds are busy in the harassment war in their own world, and it is difficult to assist Asgard in the decisive battle.

Unfortunately, my own plan is good, but the world often has other plans.

With his hands behind his back, Merlin floated to the edge of the throne room. He stood in front of the large French windows, looking at the omnics who were busy transforming the world under the Doomsday Volcano.

Yes.

The wasteland hell, and even the three hells occupied by the sons of hell, are the backup of God King Odin.

Although it is too risky to take the risk to help God's Domain while being stared at by other hell lords, Merlin has his own plan.

Who said that the Battle of the King of Hell and the already started Battle of the Ten Realms have to be two separate systems?

Why can't they be blended together and performed simultaneously?

For the world of hell, Merlin and his sons of hell are just newcomers who have just entered the table, and the sons of hell have no advantage at all in a face-to-face battle with the old guys.

The union of the old ones must be broken, the pool of water must be muddied!

The Battle of the Ten Realms, which seems to have nothing to do with the situation in hell, is a very good opportunity.

The old things are all staring at the children of hell, and every move they make will meet their sniper attacks. Under strict defense, there is no chance for hell to defeat them one by one.

Maharaja said softly as if talking to himself:

It's like a pool of stagnant water, and new variables must be introduced.

There's also the God King, since it's all so lively, why don't we fire it up again.

Chaos, chaos is a good thing.

The King of Vanity touched the Raven Book on his waist, and said:

Too many problems and too little time can only cut the mess quickly.

Your Excellency the Serpent has slept long enough.

It's time for him to get up and move around.
