Thor thought for a moment and said to Valkyrie "Very well. Take whatever thou believes necessary, but if thou should see anything too dangerous I want thee to return and report thy findings."
When Ares spoke of the ploy the enemy was trying Thor said "This is why I am thankful for thy aid, Brother. Thy knowledge of tactics I am unfamiliar with shall be a great help. As far as Loki is concerned I would not be surprised in the slightest if his liars tongue has orchestrated this. What we must remember is that nothing is to reach my fathers hall. Ares, while Brunhilde is scouting we should perform a perimeter check to assess where we need to commit what warriors."
Thor called for a servant to bring him a cloak and to fetch another helm from the armory. As it was too soon to celebrate and the cold was rolling back in Thor waited to see what was happening, having ordered no ale be drank until Asgard was safe, much to Volstagg's dismay.
"If the enemy wishes to use unusual tactics so be it. We shall do the same. What would thou do with a multitude of slain enemies, Ares?" Thor was thinking of making a wall from them but he wanted the Aegean's opinion. Warriors were replenishing their arrows and sharpening their swords as Thor put on his new helm and cloak. "If thou requires more ammunition or to sharpen thy sword and axe, now is a good time Ares."
