The Sage of Einar

Chapter 444 - A Special Rain To Win The Siege

The priest, who was walking on the walls gave the order that the warriors prepare to face the siege.

As he did so, he could see a man walking with a cross and a white flag. When the man arrived, he stood in front of the walls.

"I am a messenger of the Konungar Einar and the Nordic army. King Einar is asking for his surrender. If you do so now, you will not be injured and you will be able to maintain their freedom.

If you refuse, all of you will suffer a horrible death. "

The priest who heard that looked at the messenger with hatred and without wasting time took a warrior's bow and arrow.

At that moment, the priest aimed at the messenger and shot him, killing him on the spot.

"We do not negotiate with pagans."

Einar who watched as the messenger was killed only shook his head.

"They always do the same. I think there are very few castle leaders who are willing to surrender to avoid death.

It is a real shame however, since they decided to die defending the castle, we will have to meet their expectations.

Dreide, you'll get a closer look at the danger in using a simple explosion and sulfuric acid. "

After saying those words, Einar looked at Dreide who was next to him and gave a smile to later order the army to prepare to besiege the castle.

He also ordered that the assembling of the onagers be started. While that was being done in the castle, the prince was pulling up his pants before going down to the castle dining room.

When he did, he looked at the priest, who was drinking beer.

"Again drunk Gorman, you should correct that habit of yours. It cannot be possible that being a priest you live your life in alcohol.

What kind of example are you? "

Gorman began to laugh. "It is said by the cowardly prince Muiredach who left the army alone because he was afraid of dying.

Look at you here, fooling around with any servant you can find when you could be preparing troops to defend your kingdom.

I remind you prince, that I am only a simple priest here. The only one who has obligations is you, and the last thing I remember is that your father left you in charge of the army.

So I think the one who is setting a terrible example is you. "

Muiredach clenched his fist and glared at the priest. "You are nothing more than a bloody drunk. Take good care of your words because I can order you to be killed.

Nor is it going to do you any used to threaten me that I am going to excommunicate you because we are being besieged and enemy attacks occur constantly.

It would be a real shame if the priest Gorman accidentally died because of an enemy arrow. "

Gorman wiped his mouth and gestured for the prince to come closer. Prince Muiredach approached and at that moment, Gorman hit him on the head with the beer mug.

Muiredach fainted, so he fell to the ground, the priest Gorman who had already lost control from anger.

He did not hesitate to start kicking the prince's head, as he did so he got even more angry and stepped on the prince's head with such hatred that he did not realize that the iron sole of his shoe had broken the prince's skull.

So in a matter of minutes, the prince's brain was scattered on the ground, as was one eye that had fallen out of his eye socket.

"Damn prince that will teach you not to threaten me you piece of shit."

At that moment Gorman tried to walk but slipped on the blood and remains of the prince's brain, so he hit his head and fainted.

After this, a few minutes passed and one of the servants entered the dining room, so she screamed, calling the attention of the guards.

When the guards entered, they could see the bloody scene because of what a fear formed on their faces, this because she had not taken care of the prince so the damn priest had murdered him.

They knew that they could no longer do anything to defend their lives because, since the prince was dead, they would be too.

So in an act of desperation, they walked towards the fainted priest and, using his swords destroyed his body completely.

After this, they forced the maid to bring a pot to make the food, as they had to remove the corpses.

What they planned to do was eliminate the bodies completely by feeding the pigs with them, burn the clothes and kill the servants who knew the truth.

When asked, they would say that the prince and the priest had escaped through the tunnels. Although it was not a fallible plan, they had no other choice.

After two days, Einar prepared the onagers and began to throw vases of water at the castle. For this, he tested onagers by onagers to measure the time it took for the vases of water to arrive.

When he finished testing the onagers, he indicated to the onager operators the size of the wick that they should place in the small stick of dynamite that would be attached to the vases that they would throw.

This is because he wanted the vases he will launch to be able to explode in midair so that the sulfuric acid within them could rain down on the defenders.

Dreide who was next to Einar looked with her spyglass at the castle as she wanted to be able to see the power of sulfuric acid.

When he was ready, Einar gave the order to shoot the onagers, so the soldiers, using matches, lit the fuses and fired the vases towards the castle.

The defenders who thought it was the empty vases looked up at the sky with smiles, but at that moment the vases exploded in midair.

It was then that sulfuric acid rained down on the defenders, who screamed and run as the acid burned and melt their skin.

The chaos inside the castle did not take long to be present, so some soldiers jumped from the walls of the walls to die because they did not want to continue suffering.

Others fell to the ground, waiting to die. Seeing this, the soldiers inside the battlement tower escaped through the tunnel that was in the basement.

For they knew that the castle had fallen, and they did not want to risk dying.
