The Sage of Einar

Chapter 472 - Conquest Of The Kingdom Of Breifne

Einar who was on his horse could only on as he remembered the last question the young Derry tribe leader asked him.

"Einar, why help our peoples and why accept a marriage proposal from someone you did not know.

Nobody helps for free in this world and you are not a normal king, since you do not even share our same religion. "

Einar smiled and looked at the young leader. "Because my enemies are too many, it may not seem like it, but what I am doing is turning me into a real monster in the eyes of Christians.

I'm sure they will try to eliminate me in every possible way. That includes infiltrating people so that they can gain my trust so they can kill me.

At that time, I can only trust valuable allies that I personally have known, not to mention that you are on an island that is very unlikely to be retaken by Christians.

In addition, your hatred it's also my enemy, so I am completely sure that none of you will try to ally with them.

That is why I am helping you, because in this world the allies that I may have will be the only ones that I can maintain in a sea of ??enemies.

I prefer to support you and have some support than simply to conquer everything I can because without allies things for my mission will not be easy.

As for why accept the marriage with Dreide, it can be said that it caught my attention, however out of respect for Kassia my dead wife I will not marry her until I have fulfilled my revenge.

Also in this war I realized that being alone is a bad idea. I prefer to have her as a companion with me because she is a good pillar of help.

Not to mention that we can get to know each other better and our relationship is on the right track. If you want advice, keep a woman close after a battle.

No matter how strong you are, sometimes it is better to be accompanied in order to overcome all the problems on the battlefield. "

The young leader nodded after hearing Einar's words and left the place.

Dreide who was looking at Einar was surprised to see his thoughtful look "What are you thinking about Einar?"

Einar turned his head and smiled at Dreide. "In the last words I had with the young chief of the Derry tribe.

Although he is a bit immature at this moment, he will become more and a more worthy leader to his people. "

Dreide laughed when she saw Einar. "It's quite funny that you say that when you are young too, you are even younger than him.

However, you are much more mature in some way. When I am with you, I feel that I am with my father; it is a rather curious feeling. "

Einar only raised his hands. "In the right moment, you will know the truth, but for the now we should only worry about ending the last fiefdom of the Breifne kingdom on our side.

Once we conquer the barony of Belcoo, we will have finished with our conquest area, so we must wait for Ansgar's message before entering the kingdom of Oriel.

That will be the penultimate kingdom that we conquer before fully entering the kingdom of Ulster, the place where we may end up fighting with the army that formed the coalition of Irish kings.

I hope you are prepared because in that battle you will see a lot of blood, although it pains me to admit it we will have to use all our weapons to be able to end their enormous numbers.

What you are going to see will be a unilateral massacre, which we could not have stopped in any way. It is a shame, but it will have to be that way because the pride of its leaders will not allow them to surrender. "

Dreide put her hand on Einar's shoulder. "Even if you are walking through thousands of corpses, I will gladly accompany you."

After this, the two and win by talking for a time while the entire army advanced through the swamps towards the barony of Belcoo.

Which was located in a large wooded area, in the north of the kingdom of Breifne.

After 4 days of travel and crossing the Belcoo forest, the army managed to reach the castle, which was built with large wooden logs.

Einar who was looking at it was quite interested in the construction techniques they used. "To think that they used wood for the construction of the castle.

It is not a terrible option considering that this place is surrounded by a vast forest, however it is a risky move.

Well, a wooden castle is quite sensitive to fire. "

Einar only shook his head and ordered one messenger to go and demand the surrender of the wooden castle.

The messenger, respecting Einar's orders, walked towards the wooden entrance of the castle and shouted for the surrender of the castle.

However, on the ramparts stood a muscular woman who was wearing a purple cape.

"Tell your king that if he wants me to surrender, he will have to come. I want to hear from his own mouth the conditions to be able to surrender.

I am Princess Finneacht daughter of King Tigernan of the Kingdom of Breifne. "

The messenger nodded and hurried to where Einar was, when Einar heard that he could only sigh.

So he quickly ordered the snipers to get into position and so that they could attack from afar any kind of enemy that tries to kill him.

After this, Einar walked towards the castle door, which was opened to allow Princess Finneacht to exit.

Princess Finneacht looked seriously at Einar. "I suppose I must be honored to be with the man who defeated my father and conquered our kingdom.

Since I lost contact with all the castles of the baronies, I assumed that we had lost the war; it is a real shame.

In my castle there is only my small army of warrior women. I hope you can spare our life in exchange for surrendering.

I would also like to ask for refuge in your kingdom, because I do not want to have to face my father, since he considered me a traitor.

Not to mention that the other kings will also treat me the same way. I never felt accepted by these people. If you accept me, I can promise and swear that I will fight for you and your people. "

Einar stroked his beard. "I can give you shelter and I can accept you into the kingdom just like your little army of women.

However, you will have to undergo hellish training with your army of women for a year.

Once I am done and you have proven your worth, you will be a troop led by my wife Laisa.

But you are willing to accept that condition. "

Princess Finneacht bowed, at which point Einar finished conquering the kingdom of Breifne.
