The Sage of Einar

Chapter 394 - The Arrival Of The Nordic Nation's Fleet

The berserker, when arriving before the first enemies, used his steel ax to decapitate a farmer who tried to use his rusty sword to protect himself.

But it was completely useless as the sword broke like butter and the ax pierced the skin and the bone of the neck like paper, decapitating him in just seconds.

This caused a jet of blood to stain the berserker who did not stop and, like a demon stained with blood, he continued with the slaughter.

The Christians tried to do everything they could to defeat the enemy in smaller size, but it was useless, because they realized that their weapons could not penetrate the armor of the warriors.

Not only that, the enemy's weapons were superior, so it didn't matter that they used their shields to defend themselves. The axes pierced them like butter.

This caused fear on the battlefield because, for the first time in their lives, they all faced true warriors, not yet a group of levy or disorganized bandits.

Some farmers managed to harm the warriors, but it was completely useless, as they did not even show signs of stopping.

It was as if they could not feel pain and only thought about fighting. Quickly, the group of 200 warriors managed to break through the front line of the 7000 crusaders, creating true chaos.

So the levies and mercenaries left their weapons and ran to their ships. The priests, seeing that, decided to let the knights of Paris come down from the ships to face the group of Nordics.

When the knights got off the ships, they gathered in groups and decided to fight against the enemy warriors, who, at that time because of the blood, seemed more to be demons.

The berserker who was in the front line had a lot of wounds on his body, but that didn't stop him. He was in a state where he could only think about fighting.

He moved his ax from one side to another and enemies died before his eyes. At that moment, he had become a reaper.

After fighting for a few minutes, he could see a group of men dressed in strange clothes and iron armor.

So he lunged at them, but at that moment he realized that they were harder and more complicated to remove than the rest of the garbage he had removed.

This is because they knew how to use their weapons, but despite that, they continued to attack until they could kill some of them in a short time.

How the berserker of the rest of the warriors lost their speed of advance because the knights of Paris were able to fight against them on equal terms.

The priests taking advantage of that gave the orders to surround the Nordic warriors, to be able to finish them off.

At the beginning, they wanted to refuse the levies, but when it was mentioned that eternal forgiveness would be given to those who will be able to eliminate the enemies.

That motivated the levies who began to surround the warriors in order to kill them, but despite the fact that the Nordic warriors did.

They formed in a large circle and fought against all enemies no matter if they died. The unsuspecting crusaders kept surrounding them and using despicable tactics.

How to use the forks or spears to kill the Nordic warriors. Although that tactic worked, the rate of casualties was very high.

For each warrior managed to kill over 30 crusaders before falling dead.

In just minutes, they killed the last of them, which had been the berserker who, before dying, managed to tear off the head of a knight using only his hands.

A scene so bloody that it left a fear among the crusaders as they realized that they were not very powerful against the Norse enemies.

Only that group of 200 warriors killed 3,500 crusaders, but having eliminated the threat, the priests made the levies begin to prepare everything to create the camp.

Not only that, they also made a cemetery for the crusaders who had died, had suffered a heavy defeat, but that did not matter.

Well, they already had the coast, so the next day they could launch an attack against the pagans in the interior of the island.

The next day, a group of 30,000 crusaders left the camp and prepared to enter the island.

It did not take them long to reach the walls of the tribe. This caused surprise in the crusaders because the walls were quite different from the traditional walls that they had.

The priest in charge of the expedition to that island sent a representative to ask that the Nordics surrender.

If they did, they would receive God's forgiveness. Jarl Mikkel, upon hearing that, simply laughed and, taking a crossbow, he pierced the skull of the messenger with a steel bolt.

The rather angry priest gave the order to begin the siege of the tribe.

To measure the fighting power of the enemy troops, the priest was commanding levies with wooden shields to be able to use the ammunition of his weapons.

But that proved to be completely useless as the steel bolts could pierce them, not to mention that the troops from above the wall were firing at the enemy's unprotected parts.

After spending two days besieging the noise of thousands of horns, it could be heard in the distance, so all the crusaders felt some fear because they did not know where the sound came from.

Einar, from his main ship, smiled and looked through his spyglass at the fleet of thousands of ships in the Faroe Islands.

"Gentlemen, today the greatest naval battle of our time is about to begin. Prepare your weapons and take positions.

That today is a great day to go to Valhalla. Our children, grandchildren and descendants will remember this day as the day of victory against the Christian church and its evil-corrupt leadership.

This day we will be the ones who win and we will leave their corpses in the sea so that in the future they can be visited by our descendants so that they can see how we destroy these enemies.

May the strength of the Norse nation be with us all and may Odin's blessing be in this place. "

Everyone raised their hands while giving a shout of joy which was extended to the entire fleet by which the battle cry in the 305 ships was heard that day in all the Faroe Islands.

The crusaders felt real fear at that moment. Even Gautier knew that perhaps his life would come to an end at that moment.
