Chapter 615: The Song of Prayer
For Thor's reckless decision that was almost death-seeking, Brunhild was already at such a disadvantage. Where did he have the confidence to fight the enemy to the death. Obviously they can only rely on Jin Gong's defense to support a line of defense, why is he so reckless in attacking instead of defending?
Looking at Thor who was about to walk out of his sight, Brunhilde was full of anxiety. Regardless of whether it is for the benefit of the individual or the entire Asgard, she cannot allow Thor to do this. However, she has no ability to stop Thor, so she can only pin her hopes on Loki.
"Loki, you have to stop him. It's pointless to do so, it's just death."
"No, it makes sense."
Looking at the anxious Valkyrie, Loki pulled the corners of his mouth sullenly, showing a look that wanted to smile but couldn't at all.
"I know what you mean. You think we can only defend. We can only wait until that person comes back to turn the tide. But you ignore a very important issue, and that is Asgard's morale."
Having said that, Loki glanced at some guys who were hiding in the shadows and never responded to Thor's call from the beginning to the end. Instead, they shrank themselves deeper, and a very clear disdain flashed in their eyes.
"Look at these poor guys, they don't even have the courage to fight. So, once the tide of enemies overwhelms you, do you think they can play the role you expected?"
"But is it useful to kill like Thor?"
Although he recognized the problems Loki said, it was still difficult for Brunhilde to agree with such an approach.
"This matter concerns the survival of the entire Asgard. If he fails and dies there, do you know how much impact it will have on this place?"
"Of course I know!" He straightened the hair on the back of his head and braided it into a neat ponytail. With a flash of light on Loki's body, he turned into an armored figure with a sharp sword on his waist. Then, she stepped in the direction of Thor and chased after him, and said softly to him when she passed by Brunhilde.
"So, I won't let him die there. At least, I won't let him die in front of me."
"I will go out with Thor, and the task of guarding the Golden Palace will be entrusted to you. At the same time, we have also entrusted our lives to you. Tell that guy, whether he rescues in time is related to me and Thor We put all our hopes of living on him. Seriously, this is really a big gamble!"
"Since you know it's a big gamble, why do you want to do it!" Although Brunhilde didn't speak, her eyes were full of such doubts. It's not that she doesn't know the answer, it's just that she 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.
Things have come to this point, Brunhilde has been completely helpless. She could only do what Thor said, and gather the rest of the people as the last line of defense for the Golden Palace. At the same time, she couldn't help feeling resentful towards Zhou Yi in her heart. Where are you at this time?
The gate of the Golden Palace was opened, and Thor took the lead, and the bright red cloak made an unforgettable impression on all who watched him.
The elite warriors followed closely behind him, trampling up smoke and dust like a long dragon.
This kind of scene is not uncommon in Asgard, or it should be a very common thing.
As a prince, Thor has gone out like this dozens of times, and brought back victory and glory time and time again. It can be said that every time he went out to battle amidst the cheers of the people, he triumphed amidst the cheers. Therefore, both himself and the people have a special trust in him. A belief that he can defeat all enemies.
It is precisely because of this subconsciousness that those people who have been scared out of their wits in this war, those cowering civilians who are like quails, began to quietly come out from the corner, walked up the city wall, and watched from a distance. With this special army.
Courage, with difficulty, took root again from their hearts. It brings a little hope to these people who have long been dominated by fear. They don't know how to change themselves, or no one knows what they should really do. They just watched, lingered, and whispered to each other. The entire Golden Palace is filled with a special kind of change, like an undercurrent that is about to move under the ice layer, the waves are turbulent, and it seems that it may break out of the wall at any time.
This weird situation continued until a loud bell rang through the entire Golden Palace.
That was the sound of Brunhilde, who stood on the commanding heights of the Golden Palace, sounding the alarm bell of Gulincombe. The alarm bell, with a proud rooster engraved on its face, was so loud that if it was struck, its sound could be heard throughout the Golden Palace and pierced everyone's ears.
In the ancient customs of Asgard, when the alarm bell rings, it is the time for soldiers to go out to fight against powerful enemies. At that time, every Asgardian should send his blessings and heartfelt prayers to these soldiers who went to the front line.
Today, fiasco and panic have made these Asgardians forget their ancient traditions. But the Valkyrie used the bell to remind them again.
On the city wall, someone began to pray. And with the first comes the second, and the third. When more and more people recall their past glory, the ancient ballads are floating again.
"ytbenevenngstr (Pray for an Evening Star),
snesdonponyo (the light shines on you).
ytbeendrknessf11s (Pray for when darkness falls?),
yorert11betre (your heart is still firm).
yo1k1one1yrod (You're on a lonely road), ?

1? (darkness comes),

orne1nt? (Darkness shrouded?),

ytbesdosoe (when the night is overwhelmed), ?

1? (darkness comes),
be1evendyo11fndyory (faith will guide you to find your way).
orne1nt? (Darkness shrouded?),
prose1vetnyono (this promise be with you now).
prose1vetnyono (this promise be with you now). "
The ancient singing is flowing like a trickling stream, with a kind of power to calm the soul. And hearing this voice, those cowardly people clenched the weapons in their hands again, and those who escaped because of fear stood on the city wall again.
If war is really inevitable, if death is really inescapable. So, in this darkness, the Asgardians know how to choose. Courage is passing on, and more and more people have taken up the sword. More and more people joined the ranks of singing. And the singing gradually drifted away, and soon reached Thor's ears who hadn't gone far.
Listen to the song as always, even more thoroughly. The big golden man showed a bright smile. Sitting high on his eight-legged war horse, he suddenly raised Mjolnir in his hand, and the lightning flashes allowed every accompanying warrior to clearly see his figure.
At this time, he was laughing and asked all the warriors around him.
"Have you heard, everyone? The voice from the Golden Palace, our Asgard's marching song."
Everyone looked at him, some were silent, while others nodded blankly. But looking at such a silent and solemn army, Thor began to talk to himself.
"I know what's going on in your hearts, I know what's going on in each of you. In fact, I'm just like you. I'm just like you in this war that's almost impossible to win."
"Fear, confusion, despair. The feeling that you can hardly see the future, the feeling that you are walking towards death. I understand it, I understand it. But, since everyone is willing to come here with me, I think you I also made a decision. This is the same for me."
"None of us are fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for the people behind us. Our relatives, our friends, our lovers. Whether Asgard can still exist after this, none of us are sure. As your leader , I can tell you very clearly that even I came here with the awareness of death. But I have never regretted it, and I believe that you have no regrets in your heart."
"Because if we don't resist these enemies now, 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 I don’t want to regret that I didn’t stand up now when the butcher knife fell on all my cherished people, so I choose to stand up now, use my own hands and weapons in my hands to fight for a possible future for them. Even if this future is very slim."
"Since death is unavoidable, why not let us fight with the sword again, and try to see if we can win it back? Should we die with the sword in hand, or die on our knees? The warriors of Asgard Boys, tell me your answers!"
"For Asgard!" The high-raised weapons almost formed a forest of metal, and in front of this cold light, Thor showed a happy smile on his face. 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. But thank you for coming here with me."
"I have to come here!" Without any scruples, Loki held Thor's hand. "To me, you are my everything!" (To be continued.)
