Chapter 590 The Second Line of Defense on the Rhine

Standing quietly above the Rhine, Tyr, the god of war, caressed his broken arm. There was a rare sadness on his face. For him, the things he didn't want to see and the things he hoped most had happened at the same time, but in the face of what happened, he had a feeling that he didn't know what to do.

It's a good thing that the invasion of the dark gnomes is coming on schedule. For Tyre, opponents who dare to stand on the bright side are not worth fearing. And in terms of his character, the opponents that confront him are always far easier to deal with than Xiao Xiao, who is hiding in the dark.

However, as the battle began and progressed, the situation was very different. And it has already developed into a worse and worse situation.

The reason for this, on the one hand, is because of the composition of the troops under his hands. Without heroic and fearless heroic spirits as the core, it is really difficult for ordinary warriors to open up the situation in battle. On the other hand, it is because of the sudden appearance of a powerful enemy.

Just when he was fighting against Yemengarde, the commander of the dark gnomes, Hoddle, who had transformed into the Fenrir wolf, appeared on the battlefield and attacked him without hesitation.

With one against two, Tyre is naturally beyond his grasp. And the most important thing is that he really didn't think about what kind of attitude he should take to face Fenrir.

Although he suffered the pain of severed hand on Hoddle back then, to be honest, he did not have any resentment towards this tragic younger brother because of it. On the contrary, in that matter, he was a little deeper in his self-blame.

Because after Hodr accidentally killed Baldur, Odin gave an order to deprive Hodl of his divine power, degrading him to a mortal and banishing him to Asgard.

From the king's point of view, this is already an extra benevolence. But for Tyre, this is actually forcing the poor younger brother to his death. Whether a blind person who has lost his divine power can live in other worlds with many dangers is a question that does not need to be considered at all. But in the face of the king's orders, Tyr had no chance of resisting. Even Tyr voluntarily acted as the one who carried out Odin's orders.

In his opinion, it is better to do it himself than to let those who are malicious towards Hoddle exile him. At the very least, he will arrange a safer environment for Hoddle to live the rest of his life. However, when he came to Hoddle, Hoddle, who had already been made nervous by the wind and grass, immediately asked such a question.

"Are you here to kill me, Tyre! My brother!" This was the question that Hoddle asked at the time, but it was the first time for Tyre to face the helpless and desperate question from his younger brother. Said outrageous words.

"Don't worry, Hoddle. It's just an accident, I'll take you outside for a while,

When the father's anger subsides, he will let you come back. "

No matter what, Tyr couldn't tell about the deprivation of Hodl's divine power and his relegation to a mortal, so he could only vaguely assure him.

As a child brought up by Tyr, Hoddle faced such a guarantee and easily believed his words. It's just his natural vigilance that allows him to make an extra layer of insurance for himself. He used his own artifact, Krepnir, to tie his hand to Tyr's hand firmly to ensure that he would not be abandoned by his only brother.

For Hoddle at that time, the only brother Tyr he could trust was his only support. So he tied himself and Tyr together, which was equivalent to putting his trust in him. For the sensitive Hoddle, death is not terrible, but betrayal and abandonment. He would not accept abandonment, even in this way, he would be entangled with Tyr, and even if he died, he would be with his only brother.

Tyre understood Hoddle's mind, and he was unwilling to abandon his younger brother. But the order was absolute, and he could only maintain this unlikely lasting lie.

And later, everything was revealed. The sensitive Hoddle discovered Tyre's lie, so he cut off his arm before he deprived him of his divine power, and took his arm to embark on the road of defection.

Unable to accept betrayal and abandonment, Hoddle chose to defect, and this is what Tyr felt most guilty about. He felt that Hodl's betrayal was entirely because he betrayed his trust, and it was because of this that he was shocked by Hodl who suddenly appeared in front of him, and almost died.

As a god of war, he has the strength to suppress Yemengarde, but with the addition of a Fenrir transformed from Hodel, he is no match at all, especially when his mind is already confused.

So, defeat is already an obvious thing. Although it was not painful, it did damage Asgard's defense system on the Rhine side. And this also makes their next defensive battle even more disadvantageous.

When the mighty Rhine River flows into the Great Rock Valley area on the border of Asgard, it is divided by the rock valley, so it can only be reunited through dozens of meandering tributaries.

For Tyre, it is obviously better to be stationed in the big rock valley. At least, it will not be too late to support because of the huge Rhine. But now, their line of defense has been pushed down and down the Rhine, which makes it difficult for them to defend.

The huge Rhine River is the most important obstacle, because of this endless river, he can only distribute his few troops on both sides to prevent the dark dwarf's invasion of Asgard. But in that way, it also put half of the warriors in great danger.

The division and governance of the two armies is itself a taboo in the march. In such a situation that is not conducive to command, even if he is the god of war, there is no way that he can do much. And more importantly, he was worried about Yemengarde and Fenrir's attack. Once one of them specifically comes to hold him back, it won't take long for the other to completely wipe out the army across the river.

Unless he can get rid of one of the guys as fast as he can, and then go to the other guy. But just thinking about it, there is a feeling of being unreliable.

That is a fierce beast that can fight against a god, a terrifying monster transformed from a god. If you want to defeat one of them in a short period of time, how is it possible! So Tyre can only hope for possible reinforcements, such as Thor. Judging from the current situation, this is the only guy he can count on, and only he has the ability to rush over to help himself.

Others, such as Brunhilde, who was stationed on the front line to resist the flame giants in his place, really had no idea at all. In his opinion, the situation there is much worse than here. Because they were facing the Fire Demon King and the fifty legions under his command. With that kind of power, even if the entire Asgard were to pounce on it, they would be unable to catch it. Now, just relying on the heroic spirit and the Valkyrie to stop them, no matter how you look at it, it is an impossible task.

At the beginning, he was very reluctant, and that was when the enemy didn't really want to attack. So he doesn't think that Brynhild can create any miracles, at most it will just support it for a while.

However, he has no objection to the idea of ​​the plan. Because in his view, this plan is indeed feasible to a certain extent. It's just that the first place to open the gap is not at Brynhild, but here. As long as he can take the lead in opening the situation and eliminate this group of resurgent dark gnomes, then he can turn the army in the fastest time, support Brunhild, and maintain a deadlocked relationship with the flame giant.

However, the situation was really unexpected.

The Dahe Rhine was still rumbling, but Tyre, who was still in deep thought, suddenly noticed that UFO-like phantoms began to appear in the forest in the distance. It was a dozen high warships like swords, dark and icy, full of the coldness and grimness of a war machine.

It was the battleship of the dark gnomes, a weapon built by the dark gnomes who were exiled from the world to take revenge on Asgard. A warship that can travel across the universe can not only be invisible, but also collide head-on in the most violent way. Under the huge size and tonnage of the battleship, it can be completely indestructible. So in just an instant, they cut through the wide river, smashed countless rocks, and charged in front of Asgard's camp in an almost crazy and violent posture.

At the same time, the shadows of countless wolves appeared in the forest, and the oily green eyes spread all over the forest in an instant like a group of ghost fires. The mournful wolf howled one after another, with almost no intention of stopping. Soon, the warriors of Asgard discovered that they had been surrounded by countless wolves, and each of them knew very well what that meant.

The enemy's raid has arrived, and the war has begun again.

Although not a hero with a hundred battles like a Heroic Spirit, the warriors present did not have any intention of timidity. Without Tyr's instructions, they took up their weapons on their own, and then took a defensive posture.

And just after these warriors were ready to face the battle, the battleship had already opened the hatch, and countless dark gnomes in thick armor, holding firearms, walked out of the battleship in a neat line, and then immediately headed towards The warriors lined up below launched a deadly attack.

The hail of bullets erupted from the peculiarly-shaped firearm in the dark gnome's hands in an instant. Under this attack, the warriors of Asgard immediately fell into decline. After all, the shield can stop it for a while, but it cannot stop it for a lifetime. Soon, victims appeared in Asgard's camp.

Looking at this situation, Tyre immediately took action. He couldn't allow his subordinates to be suppressed like this, so he could only choose to strike first before the enemy's leader appeared.

And just as he swept across the Rhine, when he was left, the Rhine, which was just a calm flow, suddenly burst into an extremely turbulent wave, and a huge snake vacated from under the water. With a huge mouth that could almost swallow the mountain, it bit Tyr. (To be continued ~^~)
