Chapter 51: 51:The Love of the Goddess
Cu Chulainn looked at the enemy on the ground who spoke and was killed by a sword, and then looked at the enemy next to him who didn't speak and was also killed by a sword, and couldn't help but think: "What's the difference?"
"No!" Kevin answered indifferently and woke up the third person. After asking, Cu Chulainn found that no matter whether the enemy answered or not, he would be killed with one sword.
Kevin then went out and grabbed a few more people, and did the same thing for all of them. After more than ten people, he stopped and said, "Okay, now the location is set!"
"What are you doing?!" Seeing Kevin looking like he had finished his work, Cu Chulainn couldn't help but ask.
"Collect intelligence and compare intelligence!" Kevin replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Well... I understand the logic, but why did you treat both those who told the information and those who didn't tell the information so well?" Cu Chulainn expressed his incomprehension.
"But I didn't say anything. I don't want to give pleasure to those who don't want to talk about the situation."
Kevin looked at Cu Chulainn with a very strange look, which made Cu Chulainn feel extremely conflicted. This... this is not a routine!
"So what should we do next?" So Cu Chulainn simply asked. Kevin would do strange things sometimes, so he asked, "Let's go directly to their leader's base?"
"Didn't you hear them?" Kevin replied, "Many druids and bards are there, and..."
Kevin glanced at him and said, "Fergus Mark Roy is not far away. Are you sure we won't be left here if we fight him here?"
Hearing Fergus' name, Cuchulain's expression darkened.
Fergus was originally a member of the Order of the Red Branch, but later rebelled against the Kingdom of Ulster because of certain things.
He possesses a weapon called the 'Spiral Rainbow Sword'. The sword light it wields has such terrifying power as to 'cut off three hills'. To put it simply, it is at the level of an anti-city weapon!
He was one of the people Connor specifically mentioned when talking about the warriors who need attention.
After obtaining the intelligence and with the help of runes, Kevin and Cu Chulainn easily burned down the place where their food and grass were stored.
When the fire was burning, Cu Chulainn and Kevin did not want to fight, and once they were sure the fire was started, they left quickly. On the way, they killed several people who were ignorant enough to stop them, and they did not pay any price!
Although the druids and others in the team reacted quickly, about half of them were still burned. This made Maeve, who was leading the troops herself, very angry and at the same time felt a little scared.
Of course she couldn't be unaware of the fact that her subordinates had set up a magic barrier, but even so, the other party could easily sneak in, which made Maeve worry about her own safety.
"If we are not mistaken, the visitors should be Kevin the Miracle Man who possesses the magic sword Vlaglak, and Cu Chulainn who holds the magic spear."
The next day, the bards and druids who brought the dead bodies to Maeve said after a brief discussion: "They are the only ones who have learned the magic of the Queen of Shadow Country - Runes! Only that can break through our perception so easily!"
Scathach's runes were taught by Odin. They are one of the most primitive powers in the world and in a disguised form a kind of highest-level magic!
"That's not what I want to know!" Maeve said angrily, "What I want to know is how to stop this situation! Do you have any way to stop them?"
The bards and druids looked at each other in bewilderment; no one dared to come forward to guarantee it. After all, that was a rune!
"I know someone who might be able to resist their attack." Just then, one of the three female bards under Maeve stepped out and said, "A warrior who also graduated from the Kingdom of Shadows—Ferdia!
He has been in the Shadow Kingdom longer than Kevin and Cu Chulainn!"
Nightfall
When Kevin and Cu Chulainn sneaked in again, before they could take any action, they were stopped by their senior brother Ferdia from the Shadow Kingdom and Fergus, a former member of the Knights of the Red Branch.
Kevin was a stranger to Fergus, as Fergus had already left when he arrived, but he was very familiar with Cu Chulainn because he had been Cu Chulainn's adoptive father for a period of time!
Looking at the familiar man holding a weapon in front of them, Kevin and Cu Chulainn frowned at the same time.
"Things really aren't as simple as we thought." Kevin sighed, looked at his silent senior brother in front of him, and said softly, "Are there only two of you?"
"It's just the two of us." Fergus, who was tall and strong, with squinty eyes and a cheerful smile, said silently. He looked at Cu Chulainn who was staring at him and sighed, "Although I knew this day would come... I actually hoped it would be later."
"Morning and evening are the same." Cu Chulainn looked at him and said calmly, "Uncle Fergus, long time no see."
"Yes." Fergus said with emotion: "You have grown up so much and become the hero praised by the bards!"
"Brother Fudia." Kevin looked at this brother who often kept watch for him and gave him guidance in the Shadow Country, and said with a complicated expression, "Do you really want to fight us?"
"Don't say such unromantic words, Kevin!" Before Ferdia could answer, Cu Chulainn smiled and patted Kevin, saying, "Whether he has a hidden secret or something, he is already standing opposite!"
"Cuchulainn, Kevin." Ferdia finally spoke with a complicated expression, "You guys go away, there are only two of us now, the rest have been stopped by us.
As long as you promise not to launch a surprise attack from today onwards, we will not make it difficult for you..."
"I've known for a long time that you are unreliable!" Before Fudia could finish his words, a large number of men came out with a cold snort. They were wearing exquisite armor and holding weapons.
Several druids and bards began to chant spells nearby.
"Long time no see." As Ferdia and Fergus' faces changed drastically, Maeve came out with a smile, looked at Kevin and Cu Chulainn and said, "You two, you came here so anxiously, is it to see me?"
When Maeve said this, she added a charming voice, which made many men around her look stupid, but it had no effect on Kevin and Cu Chulainn who were well prepared.
Cuchulainn ignored Maeve and looked at the two of them, unable to help but laugh, "Uncle Fergus, it seems that you are not trusted by Ferdia."
"Maeve…" Ferdia glared at Maeve and said, "What do you mean? This is different from what we agreed. You said that Fergus and I would handle everything!"
"Leave it to you?" Maeve glanced at the two of them and snorted, "Do you think I'm blind?! Don't I know what your relationship with them is?!"
"Well...it seems like Your Majesty the Queen has decided to take over both of us." Kevin couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes." Maeve tilted her head and immediately showed Kevin an extremely bright smile, licked her rosy lips, and said: "Ever since I met you two, I have been thinking about snatching you away all the time!
After I knew it was you yesterday, I prepared such a grand lineup to welcome you! ...Come on Kevin, you are a smart man, become mine!"
Kevin looked at the druids and bards around him who were chanting spells and ready to attack at any time. After glancing at Ferdia who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, he finally asked Cu Chulainn.
"Hey, what do you think of this suggestion?"
"What?"
"Become her." Kevin pointed at Maeve. "If nothing else, she does have a nice appearance."
"Her?" Cu Chulainn held the magic spear in both hands, sneered, and said, "Forget it, she's not my type. I prefer pure girls like Emeril!"
"Huh?" Kevin blinked in surprise, "Aren't you an omnivore?!"
"That was before, before I met Emel. By the way, could you tell her less about my romantic affairs? She was still angry when I left!"
"Hey, you know that's a romantic debt!"
Ferdia, who originally had a stern look on his face, couldn't help laughing again when he saw Kevin and Cu Chulainn, who were still panicking in such an environment.
It was as if I had returned to the Kingdom of Shadows.
"You..." Maeve, whose excitement was gradually fading, looked at Kevin and Cu Chulainn in front of her and said, "Are you rejecting me?... Do you think you can survive in this situation?!"
"Some things can only be solved if you don't try." Kevin smiled and put away the magic sword, drew out the magic spear, and said lightly: "How do you know the result?"
"...beat them half to death. Remember, don't beat them to death!" Maeve was silent for a while and gave the order!
And just as she gave the order, Kevin, holding the magic gun, suddenly rushed towards her!
Maeve looked at this scene without any panic on her face, because when she reached a certain distance, Fergus holding the Spiral Rainbow Sword blocked him.
Looking at Maeve's back as she turned and left, then looking at the situation in front of him, Kevin took a deep breath, looked at Fergus and Ferdia, and slowly exhaled.
Among all the people present, the two of them are undoubtedly the strongest, but at the same time, in the current situation, it is also the easiest direction for Kevin and Cu Chulainn to break through!
"Brother, Fergus is offended!"
Cu Chulainn on the side drew runes to resist most of the magic attacks, while Kevin used his spear skills to force the two men back step by step.
It was simple, they couldn't possibly use their full strength when facing Kevin and Cu Chulainn, and they must have hoped that they would break out.
Commonly known as...releasing water!
But even if you release water, even if you release it in an obvious place, you have to leave something behind.
In the end, Fergus and Ferdia were both stabbed twice by Kevin, and Kevin was stabbed twice by each of them.
The battle lasted all night, and in the end, Cu Chulainn endured all kinds of magical bombardments and escaped with Kevin on his back.
It was dawn.
When she learned that they escaped with serious injuries, Maeve remained silent. She did not look at the injuries on Fergus and Ferdia. Even a fool would have known that they must have let them win. She was surprised that she still underestimated their strength.
Apart from the two of them, Maeve mobilized nearly half of the druids and bards in the army, but did not leave them behind!
"My Queen, if you hadn't told us not to kill them, they wouldn't have..."
Some people wanted to explain, but when they found Maeve's gaze extremely scary, they finally lowered their heads obediently.
"...Give the order and start marching immediately!" Maeve, who had been silent for a long time, gave the order.
They have been delayed for a day, and today is the third day of the curse of the Ulster man. Maeve knows that she can't delay it any longer!
"If Ferdia and Fergus do this again, then our deal... will be void. Do you understand?!"
Ferdia and Fergus looked at each other. They did not accuse Maeve of breaking her promise. They nodded silently and retreated.
No one stopped the march that day, and Maeve's army advanced a long distance.
But on the fourth day, when they began their journey, Kevin and Cu Chulainn, whose wounds had only been crudely treated, jumped out again.
This time, Kevin was not restraining Cu Chulainn.
In fact, Kevin has been restraining him since the very beginning of burning the food and grass, because it was said very early that Kevin does not like killing people. After all, he is a modern man.
Burning food and grass is indeed effective, but it is actually much more troublesome than killing people directly.
Under normal circumstances, burning food and grass is naturally a good tactic, but in fact, for Cu Chulainn and others, the best tactic is actually killing!
After all, they can easily kill hundreds of people with just one go in and out!
It is said that there are nearly 100,000 warriors in the army, but how could there be so many warriors who can stop Kevin and Cu Chulainn who have returned from learning skills in the Shadow Kingdom!
Most people can't stop them at all!
Cu Chulainn, who possesses the body of a demigod, ignored many attacks and simply started his unparalleled mowing mode!
And as soon as the bards and druids arrived, Kevin and Cu Chulainn turned around and ran without saying a word.
In this morning alone, Kevin and Cu Chulainn killed more than 700 people!
Although these five hundred people were only a small part of the entire army, the panic they caused forced Maeve to order the march to be suspended!
"...Kevin..." During the rest in the woods, Cu Chulainn looked at Kevin who was sitting quietly beside him, wiping the blood off the magic spear. He opened his mouth to speak, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?" Kevin looked up and tried to force a smile, but he couldn't.
Just when the two were speechless, a beautiful woman in red, driving a red chariot, slowly descended from the sky and came in front of them.
So, there is no need to say more about her identity.
Kevin and Cu Chulainn therefore did not draw their weapons at the beginning.
The beautiful woman glanced at Kevin, then stared at Cu Chulainn quietly, then spoke in a pleasant voice: "Hero of mankind, Cu Chulainn, son of light, I am Morian, goddess of death and war, I admire your battle, it is so beautiful!
From today on, I will bring you all the victories in the world, but as a condition, I hope that from today on, you can become my eternal lover! "
This is the style in the Irene Continent. If they see something they like, they will just go for it. Especially when it comes to male and female partners, they will talk for one minute and go to bed in three minutes.
But maybe he was somewhat influenced by Kevin, or maybe he really only loved Eimer in his heart now. Even if a goddess expressed her love to him, Cu Chulainn rejected her without hesitation!
