TL: Tsubak

ED: Ren

Katren, which was the name of the first port in Kalik, had been attacked several tiht its fortune and its flourishments

Every time it was attacked, Katren’s defenses became sturdier, and they even built a fortress in all the land

Blotan, as the son of Eric the defense commander of Katren, looked down the fortress with a stiff expression The evacuees that had flocked over there were shouting, telling theates

The walls of Katren, which were ten h, were hard for the invaders to cross The evacuees, who couldn’t even take care of their own bodies,a cliff

The number of evacuees was a thousand In addition there were a lot of wo theates to be opened The rookie soldiers looked at the evacuees and Blotan alternatingly while not being able to stay calm and the veteran soldiers just closed their mouths and forced themselves to look in the distance instead of below the fortress

The dead ones were approaching It was certain that they had died with ‘Hella’s curse’, which was the ates easily The evacuees that weren’t controlled were a calamity themselves The dead ones would surely reach the evacuees, even before they could accomodate them and if even one of them entered the fortress, then hell would unleash in Katren And there could already be so the evacuees

The ones that had died by the ones that died through Hella’s curse would also fall under the same curse As the speed it spread at was really like thunder, if theya thousand dead people instead of a thousand evacuees

There were tens of thousands living in Katren In addition, Blotan was the defense coates!&8221;

Katren hi was absurd Where would they go to when the dead ones were right behind the them to die, shouted even fiercer Some of them ran towards the sea, as if there was no answer It see to enter Katren, even if they had to swiht, that would be better’

That was because the dead ones weren’t able to swim They would have more chances to survive then

But it wasn’t easy Nohen the sea was at its coldest In addition there were many that were accompanied by babies and children It was doubtful if sht&8221; Blotan ordered the warriors They weren’t attacking the evacuees The dead ones were flocking over

The evacuees hit the gates and there were some that tried to climb it The cries of the kids shook their heads

But it was then that it happened

A light shone in the sky and everyone turned to look at it reflexively The evacuees that were crying in tears all shut their mouths, like a lie

It was a beautiful swan, covered in blue light The swan, that seeraceful, turned its body in the sky Then it transfornity

"Valkyrie!&8221;

"It’s a Valkyrie!&8221; The people that were above and below the fortress all yelled The Valkyrie &8211; Ingrid, as still covered in blue light, looked down at Blotan

"I’rid What’s your name?&8221;

"I’rid and said with a hardened expression Blotan faced the business-like and cold face of Ingrid and then she said with a hard tone, "Blotan, son of Erik, Valkyrie Ingrid orders you Open the gates and receive the evacuees&8221;

"Ohh!&8221;

"Ohhh!&8221; The evacuees cheered And some of the soldiers that were on the fortress also raised their voices unconsciously

"Bu, but!&8221; Blotan yelled hurriedly Even if it was the order of a Valkyrie, there were orders which he should and should not follow Thefor Blotan was the safety and the lives of the people residing in Katren

Some soldiers expressed concern at Blotan’s resistance and sorid was different She showed a faint smile that hadn’t been seen until then

"Blotan, son of Erik, you are a brave one&8221;

The evacuees got bewildered and put on a difficult face

Ingrid was speaking sincerely It wasn’t easy to deny the orders of a Valkyrie in this world where everyone knew that God’s and Valhalla existed However he wasn’t acting that way out of selfish desire

That hy Ingrid didn’t dislike Blotan She said with an eased voice as if co you are worried about won’t happen&8221;

Ingrid turned to look at the evacuees She put on the dignified face again and yelled, "Huard! Don’t fear! Keep in line calmly! The warriors of Valhalla have come to protect you!&8221;

Everyone turned their eyes Then they saw a big flying ship crossing through the dead ones They all held their breaths at the grand appearance of the flying ship

"Open the gates Blotan, son of Erik&8221; Ingrid said lastly and Blotan didn’t resist any further He opened the gates of Katren himself

"Valhalla!&8221;

"Valhalla!&8221;

"Ohh Odin!&8221; The evacuees yelled and entered the fortress It seemed like it was because they had witnessed the miracle of the Valkyrie and the warriors of Valhalla, as no one was fighting to get inside first So there was obviously no one that got crushed to death

Ingrid let out a sigh of relief and then turned to look at the battlefield and ended up s&8221;

It was because it was the corida sacrifice for the Goddess, instead of being a struggle to getshe also got the heart to help others as the one that served a God

"Look! The one at the front is the warrior of Idun!&8221;
