The Sage of Einar - Chapter 438
The special forces soldier advanced in the night’s cover only communicating by signals of their hands. The hundred Nordic soldiers advanced until they reached under the wall.
At that moment, using a mirror, they reflected the light of the moon indicated that they had reached the point, so the snipers aimed their sights at the enemy soldiers on the wall.
There were a total of 10 soldiers who were guarding the wall. They could only be visible because of the light of the torches that illuminated their bodies.
Snipers at that time aimed at the heads of the enemies and fired at the same time.
All the guards at that time fell dead without the possibility of even being able to defend themselves, as the guards had been eliminated by the soldiers of the special forces.
They took their hooks and threw them towards the wall when they were fixedly supported on the wall; they climbed very carefully.
Once they went up, they prepared their crossbows with piercing points to be able to face any enemy.
Fortunately for them, they were in a marginal area, so there were hardly any guards because it was not worth taking care of that place.
After they advanced through the walls, they met the first enemy soldiers who are not paying attention to anything around them.
They were simply trying to get as close to the torches as they could to keep warm as the scant clothing they had barely covered their bodies.
Seeing that there were no more guards approaching or any patrol, the special forces soldiers quickly fired their crossbows.
Ending the life of the guards without them being able to do something, but to avoid future problems, they took the bodies and threw them outside the walls.
After advancing for a while, they reached the door where there were 4 guards guarding while they drank what appeared to be beer.
The soldiers killed them with crossbows so after throwing the bodies; they searched the doors and could not find any other Guard.
So a group of soldiers descended the stairs to one side of the door and created a defensive perimeter.
Seeing that no other enemy was approaching, they quickly gave the signal that the way was clear for the army to pass.
So they opened the doors as quietly as they could, when the doors were fully open.
The first to enter were the snipers who quickly occupied strategic positions above the walls or any building where they could shoot without hindrance.
Later, Einar and Dreide entered along with the rest of the army, which advanced while separating in order to completely eliminate the defenders within the city.
While they were doing this, the special forces wasted no time and scoured the entire city wall in search of the guards.
Those who once found themselves murdered to be thrown outside. In just a matter of minutes, they managed to take the other gates of the city.
When they were done, they started heading towards the castle walls, which were separated from the city walls and were on top of what appeared to be a mound of earth.
But taking advantage of the darkness of the night they advanced slowly and to their surprise, they realized that there were no guards on the castle walls.
They did not understand why the enemy leader had made such a stupid decision, but using his hooks they climbed the walls and their questions were answered.
Well, in the castle’s courtyard, all the soldiers were lying down with some women and with many completely empty beer barrels.
They simply did not die of cold because there were a lot of bonfires which lit up the entire castle courtyard not to mention that they generated enough heat for the guards to die from the cold of the weather.
The soldiers of the special forces took the entire wall in silence and when they did, they aimed their crossbows and at the same time finished with the guards and the women.
Although it was likely that the women were simple victims of those guards, they could not risk one of them screaming, so they silenced everyone regardless of gender.
When they finished killing all the castle guards, they quietly entered the battlement tower, where they found a few servants who were quickly killed.
After climbing the stairs, they reached the room where the son of King Cenn was. He was completely drunk lying on his bed and having four naked women around him.
The soldiers of the special forces walked to where the prince was and after murdering the women, they put a cloth in the prince’s mouth while they carried him with his whole body tied to him.
The prince, who did not know what was happening simply moved from side to side, trying to free himself because he could not speak nor could he see.
After opening the castle doors, they informed the army that the operation had been a success using a small code, using the reflection of the moon.
The soldiers quickly informed Einar that the prince had been captured. It was at that moment that he gave the order that they begin with the massacre of enemy soldiers.
Because it had the advantage factor, they managed to kill the vast majority of the enemy soldiers without much trouble, however there were some who resisted, however, they ended up dying.
That night the city of Inis had fallen due to the efforts of the special forces, who managed to create such a favorable situation that the army only had four wounded.
When Einar saw the corpses, he smiled, because unlike his previous attacks, civilians were not harmed under any circumstances.
The next day, the civilians of the city of Inis were surprised when they saw how the son of King Cenn was hanged in the central square of the city.
All of them were afraid because they did not know how the enemies had entered their valuable city, however they could do nothing to avoid it because they no longer had an army and they were only unarmed civilians.
