Chapter 114: The Giant of Valhalla!
Battlefield ruins.

Duncan stepped into the light mist. Around midnight, a mist suddenly rose nearby, and then a faint red hostile mark emerged.

——Soldier's Ghost (one star).

——Ghost (one star).

--ghost.

Behind Duncan were Cullin and others who had arrived temporarily. They held long swords in their hands, as if praying. As a trace of the power of the oath surged, his weapons also emitted a faint glow that was invisible to the naked eye.

clang!
The Oathkeeper's sword was unsheathed in an instant, and Duncan rushed forward. While fending off the ghost's sneak attack, the sharp blade cut through the fog, and a soldier's ghost was split in half on the spot, and then turned into mist and dissipated on the spot.

The strength of the dead souls is not strong, but they are a little stronger than the living, and they retain some of the fighting skills as soldiers.

drink!
Behind Duncan, Kulin roared, grasped the knife with both hands, jumped and slashed, and directly chopped off the hideous head of a vengeful spirit.

As long as the weapons can cause damage, Duncan's general guards can easily crush them.

At that moment, Duncan felt a bit like Zuo Qianhu in A Chinese Ghost Story. Of course, Kulin and other Gallic Oath Warriors weren't as strong, but they still managed to kill a dozen or so wraiths with ease. If it were a three-star silver-grey elite unit, armed with a weapon that could damage wraiths, it wouldn't be difficult to kill twenty or thirty wraiths.

If they were a little stronger, the top mortals could just rush into the ghost cave and kill everyone.

There is no such thing as mortals being powerless against ghosts and evil spirits.

They were chopped to death when they were alive, and turned into undead after death. How could they still cause trouble?

It's just killing again.

A warrior of Kulin's caliber, having emerged from the sea of blood and corpses on the battlefield, possessed a remarkably steadfast will, essentially ignoring the spirits' mind-destroying spell-like abilities. Even if he were to die in battle, a being like Kulin would only become even more ferocious as an undead.

In a word, they couldn't defeat Duncan's personal guards even when they were alive, so how could they be so fierce when they were dead? They would still be hacked to death.

"It's not a big problem."

"It can be easily suppressed."

Duncan led a small group of Gallic Oath Warriors and killed them all in just ten minutes. The gloomy fog in the vicinity also dissipated, and the remains of the one-star battlefield disappeared directly.

Kill all the dead souls!

But there was no extra gain, just a slight increase in the mana bar.

Maybe the vengeful spirit has some magical powers.

These Saxon soldiers were unable to contribute any superb combat skills in life, and after death they only slightly enhanced Duncan's magic power. As for their spell-like abilities, such as the horror illusion, they were all ignored.

We have all gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, who are you trying to scare?

Which of the general's personal guards present here has not fought a tough battle?
Who doesn’t have dozens of lives under his control?

Kulin stepped forward at this time, and seemed to have just finished warming up, and said with some disappointment: "Sir."

"Is this gone?"

"The legendary ghosts seem to be just like this."

Duncan said calmly: "Don't be careless."

"These are just small fry. Maybe some tough monsters will appear."

"You have been cooperating with the Druid Order recently. If any supernatural incidents occur, you will handle them together."

Kulin and the others nodded immediately and said, "Yes, sir."

The tough guys in the army are really not afraid of ghosts.

Duncan and his party returned to Southampton.

It's getting late.

When Duncan returned to the Governor's Mansion, he suddenly saw a Valkyrie with a golden helmet and bird wings. Behind her, two Valkyries with silver helmets and bird wings followed on both sides.

Ok?
Are you inviting me to Valhalla?

Duncan slowly closed his eyes. It was not surprising that the Norse Pantheon invited him to Asgard after seeing such changes in the real world. He had been waiting for the Valkyrie to arrive.

really!

Shortly after Duncan fell into a doze, his soul once again left his body. The projection page of the dimensional space split into two. His body was sleeping in the Governor's Mansion, while his soul was sitting on a gorgeous chariot pulled by a handsome warhorse.

The Valkyrie with the bird-winged golden helmet drove the car herself. She was already familiar with the route and soon disappeared under the night sky of the real world.

——Asgard.

This time, Duncan woke up faster. When the Rainbow Bridge appeared, he had already opened his eyes, sat on his chariot with his arms stretched out, and looked at the legendary Asgard.

This is a country that does not belong to mortals. You can see magnificent temples belonging to the gods of the Norse pantheon.

Hall of Valor.

As the magnificent chariot stopped, Duncan walked up the steps of Valhalla. Doors opened one after another, and countless phantoms overlapped, staring at the visitor who entered Valhalla again.

The last time he came, Duncan became famous in one battle!
Even some old guys from the mythological era were alarmed, and half-human, half-god heroes couldn't help but show up to watch his majestic figure.

"please!"

"Dear King of Britain!"

One by one, fairies from Norse mythology emerged. Their status was far inferior to that of the Valkyries. It was rumored that it was they who could bring infinite joy to the victorious heroes. The Valkyries were true demigods and their status in Asgard was higher than that of most heroes.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary heroic spirits to get close to the fairies. They must win the battle in Valhalla to have a chance.

Valhalla speaks with absolute strength.

Duncan walked into Valhalla slowly with his head held high and his chest puffed out. However, unlike the last time he came, after he entered Valhalla, the shadows of heroes, which turned from virtual to real, kept appearing in front of the long tables on both sides, and they gradually turned into their appearances when they were alive.

Under the shocked gazes of the other heroic spirits, these powerful figures knelt on one knee towards Duncan, calling him various names.

"Lord Duncan!"

"Your Majesty the Governor!"

"King of Britain!"

There were even heroic spirits cheering towards Duncan, saying to the others around him: "It was Lord Duncan who led us to defeat Attila, the Scourge of God!"

"He was like a demon on the battlefield, directly crushing the elite Hun cavalry."

Completely different from last time.

After Duncan entered Valhalla, the two brothers from the Kingdom of Kent, Henges and Horsa, who had deliberately appeared in front of the long table with unwilling faces and wanted to fight again, were squeezed into the corner by the overlapping heroes before they could even stand up.

The two brothers looked unwilling, but they were no longer qualified to sit in front of Duncan!
Are you worthy? Those warriors who had fought with Duncan at the Battle of Chalons, faced the elite Hun cavalry, and died on the battlefield, looked at Henges and Horsa with disdain, not caring at all that they were kings in their lifetime, and directly pushed them aside.

Not convinced?
Come have a good fight with us later!
A little king in a remote village.

Are you worthy enough to sit in front of Lord Duncan?
It’s different in the past.

After Duncan walked past the long table in Valhalla, one after another of the extremely fierce and murderous figures stood up. They were like the general's personal guards, guarding Duncan on both sides and glaring at those who were hostile to Duncan.

If they disagree on something, it seems like they are going to start a killing spree.

I have people and soldiers in Valhalla today!
Duncan achieved hegemony with his immortal military exploits, and his prestige had long spread throughout Valhalla. Behind him were Sarmatians, foreign barbarian warriors, German berserkers, Frankish heavy infantry, and other barbarian warriors who believed in the Norse pantheon.

Today in Valhalla, Duncan is also the king!
The Valkyrie with the bird-winged golden helmet was moved. She followed Duncan and after Duncan sat down with his horse and sword, she took the initiative to pour wine for him. Fairies on both sides kept serving him delicious food.

At this time, Duncan returned to Valhalla again, and the Valkyries truly understood how amazing his influence was.

Duncan sat at the head of a long table.

Behind him, heroes continued to take their seats at Duncan's long table.

Duncan slowly stood up, raised his glass and looked at the fallen heroes in front of him, many of whom were his former subordinates and followers.

He raised his glass, drank it all, and said proudly: "Cheers to you all!"

There was jubilation in Valhalla.

The souls of the fallen heroes stood up one after another, raised their cups and drank them all at once. Their heroic voices echoed throughout the hall, as if they were ready to follow this man into battle once again. They roared, "Cheers to His Excellency the Governor!"

"To Lord Duncan!"

today.

Duncan sits here, in the Valhalla of the Norse pantheon, he is a mountain!
This is the authority that belongs exclusively to the king.

The many Germanic tribes were too scattered, and even the half-human, half-god heroes of the mythological era did not have such exaggerated influence as Duncan. They were at most a small king during their lifetime, and after their death, only a few subordinates could follow them into Valhalla.

There is hardly anyone like Duncan, who, just by sitting there, is surrounded by many warriors who followed him or fought alongside him in his lifetime.

Henges and Hossa were a bit overconfident.

There was even a burst of laughter from someone in Valhalla, and soon the figures of the two brothers gradually faded and merged directly into the overlapping shadows.

Those heroes who wanted to challenge Duncan looked at the densely packed guards around them and sat down obediently to drink.

If I show up today, I'm afraid I'll be beaten up by a group of people.

The heroes in Valhalla are not completely immortal. After a mortal enters Valhalla, they will be relatively active for about the first hundred years. As time goes by, they will have fewer human emotions, and will be more like "weapons", and eventually completely become part of the overlapping shadows in Valhalla.

This is a bit like Yin Shou. Only very special beings can maintain complete self-awareness.

Odin has no immortal heroes under his command, only half-human, half-god old guys, probably because of the strength of the higher heroes. Immortal heroes play an important role in the history of mankind.

soon.

As the grand hero banquet began, thrones of gods appeared in the sky above Valhalla, and the shadow of Odin emerged, clearer than last time. The one-eyed Odin stared at Duncan in front of him, and Duncan also stood up and bowed his head slightly to express a bit of awe to the Norse gods.

Thor's shadow seemed to be ready to move.

This extremely powerful mortal even aroused Thor's bellicosity, but it was obvious that the current laws could not accommodate the arrival of Thor's incarnation.

Freya's appearance also became much clearer, and the goddess even took the initiative to raise a glass to congratulate Duncan.

The entire Hall of Heroes was in uproar.

Many of the old men were dumbfounded. Freya was a Vanir. The Norse pantheon was a merger of the Aesir and the Vanir, so to some extent, Freya had a certain degree of autonomy. Her proactive gesture even caught Odin's eye and excited the heroic spirits under Duncan's command.

Stairs appeared one after another.

Duncan was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked up the stairs.

Odin's shadow raised his hand and waved, and the entire Valhalla seemed to have turned into a huge ancient Roman arena again, but this time Duncan's seat was not in the performance seats. He walked forward step by step along the stairs, followed closely by the golden-helmeted Valkyrie. When he sat in the first seat below the Norse gods, the heroes who had previously gathered around him also gave thunderous cheers.

Then they swarmed into the arena, roaring and provoking others, waiting for the challenger to face Duncan's personal guard!

Today.

Under the gods, above all men,
A Valkyrie with a golden helmet and bird wings poured wine for Duncan, and two Valkyries with silver helmets and bird wings attended him. Duncan sat in the most prominent mortal seat in Valhalla, and as one of the spectators, he watched his followers fight against other challengers in Valhalla.

He earned his position in Valhalla by fighting his way through!
time flies.

Soon after Duncan returned from Valhalla, the number of resurrected souls in Europe decreased significantly, and after the wheat harvest this year, the entire British province immediately entered a state of preparation for war.

Duncan assembled his army and marched towards Yorkshire, preparing to drive the Saxons completely into the sea and fight all the way to Hadrian's Wall.

A new year is coming.

A lot of news came back one after another.

The latest news comes from Scotland. It is said that not long ago many British head-throwing soldiers died suddenly. They died in a very miserable way, as if they were tortured to death by a group of evil spirits.

Those who practiced black magic and similar things were fine before, but now many of them have died.

However, those who were strong did not die, and they even became stronger.

The second piece of news came from Gaul. A very powerful headless knight appeared on the battlefield of Chalons. He was suspected to be the dead King Sangis of Alan. Duncan remembered that he had the marks of "lost destiny" and "abandoned by the gods" on his body.

He did not believe in the Norse pantheon. The Alan Sanctuary was destroyed, and his soul had nowhere to go after his death. With the help of the resentment and death energy of the Sharon battlefield, he turned into a powerful ghost similar to the "Ghost Hero".

It is said that in order to deal with him, more than a dozen monks and witch hunters of the Arian sect died, and no news of success has been reported yet. It is estimated that they have to cooperate with the Roman Catholic Church and use the power of the "holy object" to have a chance to kill this mutated ghost hero.

Duncan speculated that after Sangis' death, he might have become a four-star unit due to his resentment and dead energy.

This guy was brave during his lifetime, had a hatred for the destruction of his country, and died on the battlefield of Chalons.

Almost all the states are stacked up.

Anyway, recently, few living people dared to go near the ruins of the Chalons battlefield, because more than 100,000 people died there a few months ago.

The last piece of news came from Italy, saying that the Hun Empire had assembled an army of 200,000 and was marching towards the Alps.

After removing the inflated number, this number is probably only about 50,000 to 60,000 people.

The Protector of the Realm - Aetius has already summoned the imperial army to prepare to meet the enemy, but this time, whether it is the Visigothic Kingdom, the Franks, or other forces, none of them are moved.

It is likely that Aetius will have to fight alone this time.

It’s also this day!
Duncan assembled an army of tens of thousands, preparing to completely unify the British Isles.
