The Greece Antagonist

At present, as agreed, Odin and the Pantheon of Gods have temporarily withdrawn behind the scenes, decisively entrusting the complete control of the first battle to his Blood Alliance brother.

Glancing at the golden magical rings on everyone's hands, Luo En nodded imperceptibly and said pensively:

"Since we are all prepared, then send the orders immediately, prepare to cross the sea and land."

"We heed the divine command!"

With a unified voice, the Mortal Kings, Tribal Leaders, Divine Blood Heroes, Secret Mages, Light and Dark Elves, and the Seven Dwarf Kings present, all wearing magic rings, kneeled and bowed respectfully to the monarch on the throne who held the power over their lives, before leaving the Temple to begin intense preparations for the upcoming war.

As the figures moved away, the Temple became dim again.

The Norn Three Goddesses emerged from behind Luo En; Urd, the leader, looked at the ready-to-depart Viking fleet on the Ireland Sea and the advance units composed of humans, dwarfs, and elves on the deck, and asked with a frown:

"For the first battle, are you deploying just this handful of troops?"

"This is enough. It's just the beginning; no need to be too hasty in betting."

Luo En paused, then slowly continued,

"After all, we are unclear about where the Sky Island is. Instead of searching aimlessly, it's better to let them come find us."

"So, you chose the human Kingdom of Ireland as the first target, where it serves as the foundation of faith for the Danu Divine Race. Once there's trouble in Ireland, the Danu Gods on Sky Island will definitely not be able to sit still and will intervene in the war!"

Scouty's eyes lit up as she excitedly voiced her insight,

"And this obvious Viking fleet is just to make the Danu Gods on Sky Island misjudge our strength! When they join the battlefield and let down their guard, we can seize the opportunity to wipe them all out!"

"Your sense of warfare is not bad; it seems handing over the command of the Valkyrie Corps to you was not a wrong choice."

"Of course!"

Upon receiving praise, Scouty proudly lifted her chin, almost raising an invisible tail to the sky.

"Attacking the enemy's rescue line, luring the snake out of its hole, and then catching them off guard to encircle and annihilate them is indeed a good strategy."

Belldandy evaluated seriously and then, seeming thoughtful, looked at Luo En before her,

"So, it's our turn next, right?"

The strategy is perfect, but the enemies are not fools.

The Danu Divine Race has operated in the Celtic Divine Era for many years, and if they were all complacent fools, they would have long been defeated by invading forces from other Divine Eras.

For the approaching danger, those Danu Deities on Sky Island blessed by the Celtic Heaven's Mandate Protection are surely able to sense to some extent.

Unless, by using an equivalent Power of Fate to interfere, causing the Celtic's Heavenly Destiny to lose function!

This is precisely why the Norn Three Goddesses concealed their identities, leaving the Nordic region and traveling thousands of miles to the Celts.

Hearing Belldandy's confident inquiry, Luo En nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.

He likes collaborating with smart people, and now it seems, his three partners are quite satisfactory.

"The army has boarded, the ships have set sail, let's not waste any more words and start quickly."

The oldest, Urd, reminded in a deep voice, then the three sisters exchanged a glance, chanting ancient runes together, raising their hands towards the sky.

In an instant, the weather changed, the sky darkened, and a fierce blizzard swept over the sea, forming a fog that blinded sight.

And the ready-to-depart Viking fleet, under the cover of the blizzard and sea fog, silently navigated the waters towards Ireland.

"Let's go, we should set off too."

Seeing that preparations were complete, Luo En then stood up and stepped out of the Temple doors, teleporting to the largest flagship concealed in the sea fog, followed closely by the Norn Three Goddesses, continuously maintaining the release of the War Fog to disrupt the Celtic perception of their Heavenly Destiny.

Divided into three levels, over hundred meters in specification, the Nordic-native Berserkers and Said Wizards concentrated in the middle and lower parts to ensure ship operation, while the figures on the top deck, wearing hooded cloaks and holding shields and spears, were Valkyries.

Seeing Luo En and the Norn Three Goddesses appear, the Valkyries bowed respectfully and opened the door to the command room.

Scadi, Odin, Niord, and several other Nordic high-ranking members had long been sitting here waiting.

The Aether surged, and the swirling light runes of Luven flickered in and out, as the massive ships broke through the cold waters of the Ireland Sea, thousands of sail-bearing Viking warships charging like ferocious beasts towards their prey on the opposite shore.

~~

Hours later, the coastline of Ireland came into clear view of the Nordic warriors.

They immediately furl the sails and docked, opening the hatches.

Several ravens flew out of the cabins, cutting through the blurry sea fog and golden beaches, arriving at the nearby city like aerial reconnaissance, transmitting the images seen to the flagship command room's strategic board.

At this time, the Celts in the city were enjoying the warm sunlight, the city gate wide open without defense, guards lazily patrolling with spears, unaware of any danger.

"Where is this place?" Luo En inquired.

Brynhild, serving as the secretary, briefly compared it on the map and provided the answer:

"It seems to be one of the four kingdoms of Ireland, the Ulster Kingdom, currently ruled by King Fergus MacRoi, a renowned magic swordsman in Ireland, with a divine wife, known for his bravery and having established one of Ireland's two major knight orders, the Red Branch Knights. His foster son, Cu Chulainn, currently serves as the Great Commander of the Red Branch Knights, and seems to be the mortal illegitimate son of Lugh, the Sun God, who is the Third Throne on Sky Island, having learned skills from Manannan, the Sea God, the Second Throne."
