Luke had thought that war would come quickly, but he didn't expect it to be this fast.
Alfheim, one of the majestic Nine Realms and the homeland of the Light Elves.
How could it be defeated so easily by a group of Raiders?
Was this reasonable?
"I remember that the Light Elves fought multiple wars against the Dark Elves without being defeated. Have the Light Elves fallen so low now?"
Luke frowned slightly; he didn't understand and couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
The Raiders, when united, were a major force in the Universe, but this organization was extremely loose internally and lacked cohesion.
Before a leader recognized by everyone appeared, it was impossible for them to unite into a single fist.
Even if the Light Elves were as corrupt and decadent as the Aesir, they shouldn't be this useless.
"It was God Butcher Gorr! He led a group of Raiders to suddenly attack the Royal Court of the Light Elves, and after killing the Royal Guard, he practically wiped out the entire royal family!"
Thor spoke quickly, his tone also filled with shock and awe.
"Heimdall is currently guiding the remaining Light Elves to retreat into Nidavellir through a secret passage."
"But this is not a long-term solution. We need to stop the Raiders from further ravaging Alfheim. The Light Elves are our only allies, and we must not abandon them."
"My father hopes that you, and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, will go to provide support."
If necessary, the Asgardian army has already assembled under the leadership of The Warriors Three, and we can enter the battle at any time!
Thor looked nervously at Luke; without the Bifrost Bridge, Asgard could do nothing.
Watching their own backyard being fiercely ravaged, invaded, and destroyed by the enemy, they were utterly powerless.
"Luke." Sif waited for Luke to make a decision, her eyes filled with hope.
In just a few seconds, Luke agreed.
"I will go, but forget about other reinforcements, lest we fall for their trick of luring the tiger out of the mountains."
"You should also take precautions. There are countless secret passages between the Nine Realms, and there might be one that leads directly into Asgard's interior."
Luke remembered that in Thor 1, Loki had secretly brought several Frost Giants from Jotunheim to Asgard, bypassing Heimdall.
In Thor 2, he also used a secret passage to travel from Asgard to Svartalfheim, the homeland of the Dark Elves.
It is known that Loki even knew a secret passage that could reach Earth from Asgard!
Without a doubt, Loki was a master of maze games, possessing countless retreat routes leading to different parts of the Nine Realms.
No one knew how many secret passages he controlled.
But what was certain was that Loki only knew a very small portion.
Because Yggdrasil connects the Nine Realms and many smaller domains, there are definitely more than just one path connecting them!
"If you get the chance, find Loki first. If he falls into the enemy's hands, Asgard will be like the Maginot Line—seemingly impregnable, but actually riddled with internal weaknesses."
Luke's expression was extremely serious, which forced Thor to take his words to heart.
Although he didn't understand why Loki was so important, he decided to look for his lost brother later.
Luke raised his hand, forming a teleportation circle. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
He turned back and asked solemnly, "How do I get to Alfheim?"
...
Alfheim.
This place, once the beautiful and peaceful homeland of the Light Elves, after thousands of years of harmonious and leisurely life, had encountered a disaster rarely seen in ten thousand years.
The flames of war swept out from the Royal Court in all directions.
Having lost their King's leadership, the scattered Light Elves were wantonly slaughtered by the Raiders, whose numbers were far smaller than their own.
Having forgotten war, they had even forgotten how to resist.
Facing the brutal and merciless enemy, even though they were highly skilled in archery and magic, they could not muster the courage to resist.
When Luke arrived at Alfheim,
all that met his eyes were seas of Fire and the maniacal laughter of villains, mixed with the pleas and wails of the dying.
But this did not make the enemies stop; this weak and easily bullied appearance instead provoked the savagery within the Raiders.
Raise the axe, harvest!
This was a barbarian's carnival.
Barbarism had triumphed over civilization.
This perfectly illustrated the correctness of the saying: "Calamity and hardship are conducive to survival, while ease and comfort lead to death."
Luke's 3D stereoscopic view could now transform an area within several kilometers into his absolute domain.
He could clearly see the movements of all living beings around him.
Furthermore, he also spread his mental power as far as possible.
Thus, he could lock onto individuals and distinguish between friend and foe.
Scanning target after target, he finally locked onto one Light Elf.

She was one of the few female warriors who desperately led her people in resistance.
Drawing her bow and nocking an arrow, she used her agile movements to reap the lives of the Raiders.
Encouraged by her, dozens of Light Elves also stepped forward and bravely resisted.
When civilization hangs between life and death, there will never be a shortage of heroes who stand up to resist.
However, compared to the Raiders, although they were resisting desperately, they were ultimately outnumbered.
The Raiders were brutal, their conduct akin to barbarians.
But they were actually armed with more advanced interstellar weaponry, coupled with their numerical advantage and combat experience gained from years of operating on the fringes of law and crime, allowing them to easily crush the elf maiden in terms of strength and tactics.
If this elf maiden could rally all the Light Elves to join the war, there would be many chances of victory.
But there was no "if."
"Your Excellency Luke, this is one of the only two surviving members of the Light Elves royal family, Princess Savanna Blade of the Light Elves."
"The Light Elf Queen was severely wounded and escorted to Nidavellir. Please lend a hand to save Savanna Blade; they are our only hope for consolidating the strength of our allies."
Heimdall conveyed his plea to Luke using a mental voice through the All-Seeing Eye.
Luke looked down at the elf maiden, who was surrounded by the Raiders and engulfed by the sea of Fire, and slowly nodded.
"Hahaha, Princess of the Light Elves, you have been surrounded!"
"Drop your weapons and surrender immediately, or I will kill all your compatriots and let Alfheim perish in the sea of Fire!"
A burly man with a scar on his face and a physique as strong as an Orc raised his gun and laughed menacingly.
His eyes were fixed on the longbow in Savanna Blade's hand. It was this unremarkable longbow that, in the hands of this delicate Elf, had achieved terrifying results.
Upon their first encounter, Savanna Blade had killed more than ten of his comrades in quick succession.
If Savanna Blade hadn't needed to protect her people and hadn't been cornered by them using the sea of Fire to compress the space, they would likely have suffered heavy losses this time.
Even so, he dared not slack off in the slightest.
Because this longbow might not kill all of them, but it could kill any one of them!
It was as fast as light, faster even than them pulling the trigger!
The elf maiden named Savanna Blade bit her lip, glanced at her wounded compatriots behind her, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
But very quickly, she regained her resolve.
"The Light Elves love peace, but they are absolutely not cowards!"
"Brothers and sisters, reinforcements are on the way! Rise up and resist! Victory will ultimately belong to us!"
Savanna Blade released her finger, and the arrow sliced through the air. The Raider, who was prepared, ducked down, feeling a slight chill above his head. A bewildered comrade behind him was struck through the forehead by the arrow and fell.
The Raider leader touched the bloody scratch on his bald head, shocked and enraged. "You don't know what's good for you! I'd like to see who can save you. Kill them!"
Savanna closed her eyes in despair. Facing the numerous Raiders, she simply could not win without the cover of the jungle.
However, the expected attack did not arrive.
When Savanna opened her emerald eyes, she saw that the Raiders were standing motionless, their eyes wide open.
She could see the terror and confusion in their eyes; it seemed something terrifying had occurred.
What could it be?
Savanna scanned the area, but saw nothing.
Just then, a handsome man, a stranger from another realm, descended from the sky.
"God Butcher Gorr has already left? The mastermind... what the hell, you don't know anything?"
Luke browsed the memories of one Raider after another, discovering that these Raiders had no idea who had hired them.
The other party paid the Raiders a deposit through a broker, and then this group followed the God Butcher Gorr to invade Alfheim.
The mission requirements were simple: expand the war as much as possible, inflict casualties, and retreat at any time if the situation turned unfavorable.
After the mission ended, the broker would issue the final payment.
So, these Raiders who knew nothing had simply come.
Luke couldn't tell if these guys genuinely had professional ethics or were just plain stupid.
"Forget it. Since you know nothing, then go die!"
Luke shook his head in disappointment. With a single thought, all the hundreds of Raiders before him raised their weapons and struck themselves hard on the head.
The same scene occurred in various areas of Alfheim.
The thousands of enemies who had invaded were all killed almost simultaneously!
Not one escaped!
Heimdall, who witnessed all this, took a deep breath.
His golden eyes constantly flickered.
"Your Excellency Luke... is becoming more and more terrifying!"
The same scene, falling upon Savanna's eyes, was simply wonderful.
Savanna mustered her courage and stepped forward. "I am Savanna Blade, Princess of the Light Elves. May I know your name, hero?"
Luke's thoughts were interrupted. He turned and met Savanna's gaze, and his brown eyes were deeply etched into Savanna's heart.
"Luke!"
