Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 170: Violent Intervention
On the big island in the east, the civil war between the Fianna Knights and the King's army continues.

In fact, the source of all this is that the Fianna is nominally the guardian of the Kingdom of Ireland, but the object of the oath of allegiance when joining the order is the leader of the Fianna rather than the king himself. It protects the king, but it itself is not the royal army.

This chaotic system was unreasonable from the beginning, and it was the fuse of this civil war.

It was not handled properly at the beginning, and as time passed, a rift gradually emerged between Finn, the leader of the Knights of Fianna, and King Cormac Myat. When the marriage between Princess Granny and Finn failed, and Fianna became more and more powerful, the king naturally believed that this force had posed a huge threat to the throne.

This is what sparked the civil war!
To be honest, the war between the two sides is actually a mess.

At its root, this is a typical struggle for power.

King Cormac was wise and intelligent. During his reign, the country was at its peak. His reputation even made the Tuatha de Danann respect him. They invited him to the "other world" and gave him many magical gifts, including golden apples that could cure all diseases.

The Fiona Knights are more powerful individually.

To join the Fianna Knights one must pass a rigorous selection process, some of the requirements are as follows:
1. They must be able to jump over a tree stick as high as a person, quickly crawl under a tree stick as high as their knees, and pull out a thorn in their foot with one fingertip - and all this must be done while running fast.

2. Dig a waist-deep hole in the ground and stand in it. 9 warriors shoot him with 9 spears at a distance of 10 plow widths. The injured person cannot join Fiona.

3. Braid your hair and let the Fianna warrior chase you through the forest. Do not step on the dead branches in the forest, do not be caught up, do not let your braid become messy, and do not let your hands tremble when holding the weapon.

4. Be familiar with the twelve books of poetry and be able to compose and recite rhymed poems. Do not take dowry from your wife, and do not bully the weak and women.

In the past, it would have been very difficult to quell this messy civil war.

The king has his royal power, and the Knights Templar have their own principles of justice.

As an outsider, it is easy for Towns to deal with all this.

The only people he would side with were the Knights of Fiona.

why?
Because King Cormac's royal power is backed by the gods of the Tuatha de Danann!

In order to completely dominate the Celtic world, Towns must actively or passively erase the mark of the Tuatha de Danann.

On the At Plains of the Eastern Kingdom, a large number of the King's Army were besieging the Fianna Knights. They formed several exaggerated square formations and attacked the knights. Nearly a thousand knights lined up in a long row, like a huge rake, stabbing fiercely into the battle line of the King's Army.

When the knights collided with these soldiers, the extreme impact force caused the front row of spearmen to fly backwards.

How can five spearmen defeat a well-trained swordsman? This is based on the fact that the strength of both sides is within the human range.

These Fiona knights who can fight against giants are already extraordinary beings.

They could use their spears to block several stabbing spears at once in a flash, and with their skilled techniques, they could assassinate multiple infantrymen in the moment before entering close combat.

Many knights even had to throw away their lances after several people stabbed them like a gourd, and then they were forced to draw their swords to continue killing the enemies.

The knights were like rakes plowing the ground. They first broke through the enemy's battle line, and then not from the center, but rushed to the wings of the battlefield, killed the enemy, quickly re-formed a new spearhead formation with their comrades, and then attacked the enemy's battle line from the flank.

The reason why the king's army did not collapse immediately was because of the large number of longbowmen, who posed a sufficient threat to the knights with their sharp and long heavy arrows.

The Fianna knights were invincible, but their numbers were too small. As long as they were sufficiently damaged, the king's army would be able to use their numerical advantage to turn defeat into victory and win the battle in one fell swoop.

King Cormac's idea was good. The only thing he didn't talk about was the intrusion of an alien force.

As the two sides were fighting, a huge beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky, breaking through the clouds. It was not some space array constructed by a magician with magic lines.

This colorful column of rainbow light represents the recognition and approval of the Celtic world.

A brilliant rainbow of light pierced through the clouds and descended from the sky, its brilliance attracting the attention of all the warriors on the battlefield.

In the light, silver Pegasus flew down quickly, and a few Valkyries wearing streamlined silver armor and winged helmets waved their shining long blades and announced in a grand voice that shook the heavens and the earth:

"We convey the will of the Celtic world - both sides immediately lay down their weapons, shake hands and make peace, and participate in the holy war against Odin, the king of the Chaos Giants!"

lay down your weapon?

Shake hands and make peace?
Are you fucking kidding me?

This is no longer a question of trust or distrust. When the seeds of doubt take root and take shape, there is no turning back.

It is impossible for King Cormac and Captain Finn to trust each other anymore. They don't need a lord or subordinate who may stab them in the back at any time!

What's more, it was the prince who sent someone to murder Finn first.

Cormac cursed: "Damn it! Who do you think you are? Can you represent the will of the world?"

Without revealing her identity, the Valkyrie riding Pegasus in the sky was very quick and efficient. Following Tang Si's orders and guided by Tang Si's divine consciousness, she suddenly started a dive mode.

Everything happened so suddenly that King Cormac and his guards were caught off guard.

Although there were many royal guards surrounding the king, that was on a flat surface.

For an air force like the Valkyrie, there is no obstacle between them and their targets!

It’s not that there aren’t magicians who have cast spells such as lightning strikes in an attempt to stop the Valkyrie.

However, the Valkyries did not need to dodge at all. The powerful divine power lingering around them easily offset the elemental attacks of these mortal mages.

A day ago, this would have been unthinkable.

External divine power is bound to be interfered with or even resisted by the laws of the world. It is good enough if one can exert 30% of its power out of 10.

But now, the Valkyrie comes with 100% full, undamaged divine armor.

They simply ignored all the resistance.

It was a collective dive as fast as lightning.

Most of the soldiers of the King of Connacht's army had not yet understood what was happening when they saw in horror that their King Cormac and several princes, including Crown Prince Cabri, were all stabbed by the Valkyries' lances.

Their bodies, which had not yet completely lost their lives, kept twitching and screaming.

Several Valkyries even deliberately slowed down the speed of Pegasus so that the king's soldiers below could see clearly.
