“Goddess, everything is ready. Do you have any further instructions?”
At the innermost part of the western island, inside a dilapidated stone building about a dozen meters tall, Hedin and Ottar stood on either side of Freya, bowing their heads as they asked.
“Help me win this War Game, Ottar, Hedin!”
Sitting on the old stone throne, Freya said solemnly.
“As you command.”
......
“Do you think Freya has a chance of winning?”
On Babel, many gods began to speculate about the outcome of this War Game.
“Probably not. This is a joint force of the Hestia and Loki Familia. Even without the other Familia helping, those two alone are more than Freya can handle.”
“I also think it's impossible. The Freya Familia is strong, but it's still a bit weaker compared to the combined forces of Hestia and others.”
“So, this is probably a boring War Game?”
“It's hard to say. Freya isn't an ordinary muddle-headed goddess......”
“Let's wait and see.”
As the gods talked.
Freya's side and the allied forces finally met in the mid-rear area of the western island.
“Freya still wants to annihilate the allied forces through combat and then find the god's corsage?”
At the rear of the allied forces, Lugh looked at the Freya Familia's lineup in front of him, frowning.
It's not that he was afraid of the Freya Familia or anything.
But Freya's layout was really beyond his expectations.
In the original story, Alfia and the Loki Familia were not in this War Game proposed by Freya.
So, Lugh could understand why Freya in the original story was arrogant and confident, wanting to win by completely annihilating the allied forces.
But the reality now is not the original story.
In the current allied forces, there are Alfia, the Loki Familia, the Astrea Familia with three Level 5 adventurers who achieved great feats through 【Sword Domain】, and other powerful adventurers.
With such a lineup, it would be wishful thinking for Freya to try to win by completely annihilating the allied forces.
“Could it be that Freya wants to rely on Syr, transformed by Hélène, to steal the corsage? That's possible!”
“Syr is currently left at the eastern base. If she really finds the goddess and gets her corsage, the allied forces might really lose this War Game.”
“But unfortunately, the goddess has a backup plan that I set up, and I even set up a backup for the backup. It's impossible to win by taking the corsage!”
The War Game's victory condition is to take the god's corsage.
With the ability of Lugh's fourth-dimensional space items, it's easy to prevent others from touching the corsage.
So, trying to win the War Game by taking the corsage is impossible for Lugh!
“Lugh, are we going to fight?”
Looking at the familiar figures of Hédin, the Fire Gold Four Warriors, Hogni, and others on the opposite side, Bell was eager to try.
The frontmost teams had already begun to engage.
The sounds of magic, items, swords, and other collisions made the battlefield extremely chaotic.
In just a short while.
Rolling thick smoke filled half of the western island.
Fortunately, this was just a battle between the weaker adventurers of both sides. Once the first-tier adventurers joined the battle, the aftermath would obviously be even greater.
“Go ahead, as long as you don't die... well, even if you die, it's fine.”
The Time-Wrapped Cloth, his trump card, was still in Lugh's hands, so Lugh wasn't worried about any accidents.
“Lugh, you can't curse me like that......” Bell glanced at Lugh with a resentful look, and immediately jumped towards the front of the team with the Hesperus Knife in hand.
At the same time.
When Hogni on the opposite side saw Bell making a move, he decisively moved and ran forward, rushing towards Bell.
Clang.
The black magic sword collided with the black short sword, emitting dazzling sparks.
Three breaths later.
Bell and Hogni both took two steps back, their faces solemn.
Level 4 Bell and Level 6 Hogni were evenly matched.
After training in the Battlefield Plains, Bell's ability stats had reached their maximum value again, plus the previously exceeded stats.
It wasn't strange that he was evenly matched with Hogni.
The reason why he was beaten up in the Battlefield Plains when he didn't activate 【Sudden Stop】 was just because the Freya Familia didn't have martial ethics and used gang tactics.
In a one-on-one fight, Bell wasn't afraid of any other adventurer except Ottar and Hédin.
“As expected of the knight I trained! Come on, Bell, let me have my fill!”
Buzz!
The sword hummed softly, pointing at Bell, and Hogni's pupils began to be stained with blood.
The curse of the magic sword began to entangle his body, making him even stronger.
“This time, no one will help you, Hogni. Get ready to be beaten!”
With a chuckle, Bell raised his short sword and launched another attack towards Hogni.
For a time, because the strength of the two was very strong, the aftermath of the battle actually caused a lot of injuries to the lower-level adventurers on both sides.
“Hogni has entered the fray. Then, it's our turn. Ottar, are you confident in challenging Alfia?”
Standing on a huge stone pillar and looking down, Hédin asked Ottar, who was not far away.
“I will bring victory to the goddess.”
Ottar's deep voice sounded, and a huge black greatsword was taken from his back and held in his hand.
Then, the two looked at each other and rushed towards Alfia's position at the same time.
Hogni and Bell's battle seemed to be a signal.
In the blink of an eye.
Adventurers above Level 5 began to join the war.
“Your goddess has made a very wrong decision, and you two will bear the consequences for her mistake. 【Gospel】!”
Looking at Ottar and Hédin rushing towards her, a trace of coldness flashed in Alfia's eyes.
Vast magic lingered and spread around her.
Bang.
Huge cracks appeared in the rubble under her feet.
The wind howled.
Invisible ripples rushed towards Ottar, Hédin, and even all the adventurers of the surrounding Freya Familia.
This attack was not a test, but... Alfia intended to annihilate everyone in the Freya Familia!
“How can I let you succeed! Ottar! Eternal Song, Undying Saintess!!”
Crackle.
Following Hédin's chant.
Invisible lightning transformed into armor and attached to Ottar's body.
In an instant, Ottar's attack, defense, and speed were greatly improved.
“Leave the rest to me! Hiyah!”
Facing the invisible sound waves, Ottar swung the greatsword in his hand and slammed it out. The vast air pressure first made a soft popping sound as if a bubble was breaking when it touched the sound waves, and then, a huge roar spread around with rolling air waves.
Alfia's attack, which was not held back, was actually stopped by Ottar!
