Duncan hesitated slightly and then slowly walked up the steps.
At this moment, Odin’s shadow raised his hand with a wave, and the entire Heroic Spirit Hall seemed to transform into a massive ancient Roman gladiatorial arena. However, this time Duncan’s position was not in the performing seats. He walked forward step by step along the staircase, behind him was the Golden-Helmeted Valkyrie. When he sat in the first seat below the Norse gods, the Heroic Spirits who had previously gathered around him let out thunderous cheers.
Then they surged onto the gladiatorial arena, roaring and taunting others, waiting for challengers to duel Duncan’s Personal Guard Battle Group!
On this day.
Beneath the gods, above the multitudes,
a Bird-winged Golden-Helmeted Valkyrie poured wine for Duncan, two Bird-winged Silver-Helmeted Valkyries attended on either side. Duncan sat in the most conspicuous mortal seat in the Heroic Spirit Hall, as one of the spectators, admiring his followers battling other challengers in the hall.
His status in the Heroic Spirit Hall was earned through true combat!
Time flies.
Not long after Duncan returned from the Heroic Spirit Hall, the resurrecting souls in Europe dwindled significantly. As soon as this year’s grain was harvested, the entire British Province immediately entered a state of preparation for war.
Duncan gathered troops and advanced on Yorkshire, preparing to drive the Saxons completely into the sea, all the way to Hadrian’s Wall.
The new year is about to arrive.
Many pieces of news have also been coming in successively.
The latest news came from Scotland. It is said that recently many British Head-Throwing Soldiers suddenly died tragically, as if they were tortured to death by a group of Resentful Spirits.
Those who dabbled in Black Witchcraft were previously unscathed, but now many have perished.
However, those with strong powers remained alive, even stronger.
The second message came from the Gaul Region, where a very powerful Headless Knight appeared on the Sharon battlefield, suspected to be the deceased Alan King Sangis. Duncan recalled that he bore the marks of ’Celestial Destiny Lost’ and ’Abandoned by the Gods’.
He did not believe in the Norse Pantheon. His soul had nowhere to go after the destruction of the Alan Holy Sanctuary, and he transformed into a sort of powerful Ghost Hero, utilizing the resentment and death energy from the Sharon battlefield.
Reportedly, the Arian Sect lost more than a dozen Hermits and Witch Hunters trying to deal with him, but no success has been reported yet. It’s estimated they’ll need to cooperate with the Roman Church and use the power of ’relics’ to have a chance to slay this mutated Ghost Hero.
Duncan speculates that after Sangis’s death, possibly due to resentment and death energy, he had already become a four-star unit.
This guy was fierce in life, had the hatred of a destroyed country, and died on the Sharon battlefield.
All his statuses are almost stacked to the fullest.
Anyway, recently, living people have hardly dared to approach the Sharon battlefield site because over ten thousand people died there just a few months ago.
The last piece of news came from Italy, where the Huns Empire gathered 200,000 troops advancing on the Alps.
After removing the inflated numbers, it’s roughly 50,000 to 60,000.
Protector of the Realm Aetius is assembling the empire’s army to meet the enemy, but this time, neither the Western Goth Kingdom, nor the Franks, nor any other powers are making any moves.
It’s likely that Aetius will have to fight alone this time.
It is also this day!
Duncan gathered ten thousand troops, preparing to completely unify the British Isles.
