The first phase of Lorelei's mission has been successfully completed.
The information she obtained about Hliskjálf was only part of it. She also obtained the defense map and terrain map of the Golden Palace. This is necessary information for the second phase of the mission. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to obtain it by divination, because
The entire Golden Palace is shrouded in the protection of powerful magic, and obtaining it by force will most likely require some sacrifices.
Lorelai established the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the emperor's method. With the help of the Kama Taj Embassy, she used bribery, intimidation, kidnapping and other means to gradually find out the defense situation of each hall of the Golden Palace, starting from the low-level officials of the Golden Palace. The most important among them was
The Silver Hall, because of the existence of Hillid Skyraf and Hillid Skyraf's own particularity, made this meeting hall that was visited by many Asa and Vanir Protoss a place that was infiltrated by Lorelei.
The most thorough place.
She even recruited a mercenary army composed of refugees from the Asgard colony. This was not a difficult task for her. It was not the first time that she recruited mercenaries to form an army to oppose Asgard.
Magic has been used by herself to confuse people's minds many times. But this time her mission went particularly smoothly, and even magic was rarely used - she only arranged for people to go to the colonies where riots occurred to give a speech about "The Unified Truth"
After a few sections and transporting some food, she found that she had harvested soldiers - this was not only because Kama Taj provided a large amount of financial support, but also because Asgard's taxes have become more and more stringent in recent years.
The effects of the Finbul Winter were first seen in Asgard, and the reduction in food production was the least noticeable of them.
However, in order to support Asgard's huge trade volume, the Asgardians extracted higher and higher tithes in colonies such as Nornheim, which often led to riots in the colonies and the displacement of many refugees. However, Asgard
No one cares about the living conditions of those colonies, including the most ordinary Asgardian civilians. Maybe they will be moved to tears when they see the poverty of the colonies, but if they want to end their living standards that have become rich because of the colonies,
But it is absolutely not possible.
Like the middle-class citizens of London in the Victorian era, they were proud of the city they lived in. Even if the black soot rising from the factories polluted the sky and the emaciated child laborers starved to death on the streets, it was nothing compared to those who enjoyed a convenient life.
It doesn't matter. The colony's dissatisfaction with Asgard has reached its limit. Lorelei's job is to provoke the colony's bottom line and teach the emperor's thoughts and knowledge to the Nornheim colony. Maybe Thor can use the war hammer to quell the conflict.
Riots, but he was absolutely unable to suppress a never-ending riot set off by countless hungry poor people and workers.
If Asgard sends a large number of troops to deal with this matter, Asgard's deployment of troops in the doomsday battle of Ragnarok will be limited, strategic decision-making will be affected, and it will become one of the straws that breaks the camel's back;
If Asgard refuses to deal with colonial riots, then the colonies will become completely independent from Asgard's influence, cut off trade with Asgard, and promote the impact of the Fimbul Winter on Asgard, which will affect all the colonies.
Another step on the ending of Asgard's destruction in Twilight of Gods, completely crushing the description of Asgard's new world in the prophecy.
This game of chess had already been planned when the emperor captured Lorelai. Although it could not play a decisive role, all victories were accumulated from a large number of small tactical advantages. His goal was to create a new world after Ragnarok.
The world, rather than the battle of Ragnarok itself - the war between the giants and the Asgard will not have much impact on the earth - but if the human race wants to get rid of the shadow of Asgard, then
The Asgard must be completely destroyed and Asgard's thousands of years of knowledge and experience must be absorbed as nutrients. Without the Supreme Mage, the situation of humans on earth will not be better than that of the colonies in Nornheim. This is why the emperor has always opposed the Asgard.
The real reason for Sgard.
But in the eyes of Odin and Frigga, all the emperor's actions came from another standpoint, from the standpoint of a new god who wanted to establish a foothold in the new world after Ragnarok. Odin wanted to prophesy that the overall situation would not change.
He promised to give the Emperor a place in the new world in exchange for the Emperor, Karma Taj and the Earth's support for Asgard. Even Frigga thought so, otherwise it would be impossible to propose that the Emperor and Hela
The ridiculous idea of marriage. They didn't know that the emperor never regarded himself as a god. He believed that he was just an ordinary person with the power of a god. If he didn't have this power, he still had ideas, knowledge and foresight that he could use as a god.
Weapons, his power is only a small part of the huge arsenal, there is no difference from a loaded rifle.
Lorelai also found a piece of information that interested the Emperor.
"My sister Amora once seduced Thor, and he became Amora's slave like other men. This is why Sif can't tolerate our sisters." The enchantress narrowed her eyes and pressed her body closely against her.
The emperor wore a gray cloak, and his eyes were full of overflowing amorous feelings. "Of course, no one in the world can compare with my lord... My sisters got some interesting information from Thor, such as Thor
illegitimate child. Poor Sif, she has been trying hard to ignore those two children and want to complete the mission given to her by Queen Frigga."
But when the emperor asked to meet Amora to understand the situation more intuitively, Lorelei's eyes suddenly changed, becoming vicious and angry, "Amora and I don't have a harmonious relationship. She charms men."
She also enchants herself, she falls in love easily, and if you show hostility to Asgard, she will not tell you any information about Thor's illegitimate child."
She took a deep breath, "Even I will admire her cruelty and debauchery. All Asgardians know that she tortured the Water Fairy, and they also know that she once publicly stated that she was willing to fight three dwarves for a necklace.
Sharing the same bed. If you want to conquer her, you must do to her what I have done. If you are willing to consider my jealousy..."
The emperor nodded, but did not fully accept Lorelai's statement because she did not tell the truth.
The reason why she has a tense relationship with her blood relative Amora is because of the competition between the two parties to see who can successfully seduce Thor. Amora won this competition and successfully escaped the pursuit of Asgard.
Lorelai, who failed in the competition, became the scapegoat. However, Lorelai seemed unwilling to mention the competition, as if she was worried that the emperor would have opinions about her because of it. However, she did not know that the emperor had already conducted a detailed investigation on her when she was captured.
Already.
"About Magni and Modi, do you know where they are now?"
Lorelai pointed outside the tavern box, indicating that the target was here.
"Thor didn't give any care to his illegitimate children. Sometimes I suspected that he didn't even know they existed. Only Odin gave them some help in life, but now that help has disappeared, they have to find ways to support themselves.
"She tried to hold the emperor's hand hidden under the cloak, and the latter did not resist her more and more aggressive behavior, because he knew that Lorelai needed some rewards. "But those two idiots are still hanging out with the common people, trying to show their
Using his power to attract the attention of the bards is just as stupid as their father, thinking that he is the protagonist of this world. But I have to admit that this trick is fatally attractive to some unsophisticated Asgardian girls.
Especially when they brag that they will join the counter-insurgency operations against the colonies, they are brave warriors in the eyes of the Asgardian girl." The Rhine Banshee fanned her beautiful eyes, and her long eyelashes were like fans.
A shadow was cast on his cheek, "Are you going to kill them, my lord, or do you have other plans for them?"
Hammurabi was very fortunate that the breathing filter grille in his helmet had extremely excellent performance, otherwise he would have been blinded by the sour smell of vomit and alcohol in the tavern. Especially if some unscrupulous fools tried to get in,
When provoking the Janissaries, who were much stronger than them, the air breathed out by the drunkards was even more filled with stench - the drunkards pointed at Hammurabi, and the translator in the helmet translated the words straightforwardly.
Come out. The Praetorian Guard has learned the Old Norse language of Asgard, but he still needs a translator to understand the drunkard's words, because those continuous mumblings are really annoying.
Now he understood that the person standing in front of him was a warrior who had participated in the Nornheim counterinsurgency war.
Hammurabi lowered his head and saw the warrior's head covered with dirty, messy curly hair. He saw the traces of solidified mead covering the warrior's beard. He shook his head helplessly.
Seeing it as a provocation, he shouted a few more words, turned around and opened his hands to the audience in the tavern. The imperial army did not regard the ax held in the opponent's hand as a threat, nor did he regard the opponent's staggering fatness as a threat.
His body was regarded as a precursor to attack, but when the opponent waved the sharp blade at him, Hammurabi reacted quickly - he raised his foot and kicked away the chair in front of him, and the wooden chair flew out like a cannonball.
, and slammed a fool who was also trying to attack the Guards into the wall - and then he hit the drunkard in the face with the end of his garrison spear. Although the movement was too fast for people to see clearly, there was a conflict with him.
The Praetorian Guards who had experience fighting against Heimdall had already figured out the Asgardian's individual strength. The only thing that surprised him was that his counterattack failed to smash the drunken man's skull this time, and the latter fell to the ground.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
"He killed Modi!" shouted another drunkard who looked similar to him. He was the man who was thrown against the wall by Hammurabi before. "Avenge Modi! This man owes a blood debt. He
It must be repaid!" Along with the shouting, a large number of guys wearing dirty animal skins and holding sharp knives stood up from various positions in the tavern. These guys with warrior braids on their ears were also drunk, and their dirty beards and hair made them look very drunk.
They exuded a pungent smell. Then the rough roars immediately drowned out the sour and tooth-dropping music of the poor bard and the love poems he sang to the tavern waitress.
Amon opened fire first and immediately killed a man who pointed a long-range weapon at him.
He stood there protecting the only way into the box, while Hammurabi rushed out towards the drunkards who raised their weapons. When the drunkards had not raised their weapons, he had already rushed into the crowd,
The steel that had been given the Gador rune by the blacksmith's hammer was cut off by the halberd. Anyone who tried to resist the attack with weapons or shields had their bones and flesh cut off without exception.
Hammurabi swept through the entire tavern like a golden hurricane. He did not kill those who raised weapons, but destroyed weapons and limbs. Even so, the painful howls and spurting blood still made those who were ready to move
Breaking out in a cold sweat. The stone tile floor of the entire tavern was submerged in mead, food remains and blood. The smell of blood seeped into the mud-gray filling between the stone tiles. Those guys who were slightly awake felt that the soles of their shoes were sticky - they were afraid.
It wasn't Hammurabi, but Amon who was standing at the door of the room. He used his garrison spear to smash two idiots. No one knew whether the soles of his shoes were stained with mead or corpses - now the tavern was completely quiet.
, no one dares to act rashly, for fear of inviting the next round of attacks.
"Modi!" The painful voice was scurrying around on the ground, breaking the deadlock. "Oh! He's still alive! He was knocked unconscious!" followed by a wet slap, made when waking up from sleep.
The roar and the unbridled laughter of another person. "Get up, Modi, or I will throw you into the cesspit of the watchdogs of Hades! No... no, his jaw is broken! You..."
Hammurabi didn't hesitate and punched it directly.
When the Emperor and Lorelai, who almost got into the cloak with only her head popping out, walked out of the room, they saw that except for the two Imperial Guards, there was no one left standing in the tavern. Some guys were lucky and were bleeding profusely.
They are still not dead yet. Some unlucky guys are left with broken bones and flesh stained on the wall. The luckiest guys are the two drunkards closest to the Forbidden Army. Apart from their obviously broken jaws,
There were no external injuries other than redness, swelling and bruises on their bodies, and they were sleeping soundly until Hammurabi kicked them aside.
"I'm talking about these two idiots, Manny and Modi." The emperor felt Lorelei hugging his arm tightly like a koala. The Rhine Banshee used an unbearable expression.
She used a tone of voice to laugh at the two guys who fell on the ground, while turning a blind eye to the deaths in the tavern. Perhaps compared to her blood relative, Lorelai's character is more cruel and ruthless, but she is more useful as a weapon. "Now it seems that
, they are more useless than I thought." She stood on tiptoes, hiding herself in the emperor's cloak, and the latter could even feel the slight trembling and heat of her body, "If you have any plans for them, then
It's best to change your plans. As I said, they are as stupid as their father and have no chance of having any place in the new world."
