The Sage of Einar - Chapter 457

Ansgar who was sitting looked at Einar’s letter with a smile. When he finished reading it he got up from his chair and stretched out his hands.

‘Then I have to attack the south of the kingdom of Breifne in order to destroy the kingdom of Athlone. This development is quite interesting but I will show that I can do it.’

Einar who was on the border with the kingdom of Breifne was quite happy with the response he had received from the elderly leader of the Celtic tribe of Sligo.

Dreide who was looking at Einar laughed “I suppose the fact that you could make an alliance with the stubborn leader of Sligo shows that you have an exceptional ability to negotiate.

But I’m curious how you could do it. Never doubt you didn’t, but I’m curious how you convinced the old man. ”

Einar looked at Dreide with a face full of confidence. “I only told the truth, and it was enough to show him that my weapons could destroy any enemy.

In the end, after he asked the soldiers what the Norse nation was, he made the decision to join the alliance.

With his help, we can maintain control in the northern areas while my father-in-law’s soldiers arrive to relieve them.

Although there is not much to control because it’s not that there is a population, which worries me because according to Ansgar’s reports and his assumption, I can be sure that the old man’s words are correct.

Which means that we will end up facing a great army made up of women and children, which will follow the orders of the coalition of kings.

Dreide, if a child points a weapon at you, they are an enemy or just a victim. ”

Dreide looked seriously at Einar. “It would be a danger to my life, so I would not hesitate to kill him. It may sound cruel, but personally I have seen two children kill adults in cold blood.

It’s not that they’re bad, but if my life is at risk, don’t take a minute to cut off his head.”

Einar sighed because he thought the same as Dreide. In his past life, in confrontations against criminal groups he had the bad luck of ending the lives of many children.

Which, because of economic problems found a refuge in organized crime.

“I agree with your words. I think that it does not matter if it is a man or a woman, a child or an old man, as long as one has a weapon, it becomes a danger to life.

I suppose it is cruel and insensitive on my part, but you are willing to walk a path of blood when we finish off the Irish army. ”

Dreide squeezed the hand that Einar had stretched. “We will be married. I think that if I cannot accompany you on such a simple task, I will not be prepared to do other things.”

The white deer only looked at that with a look that seemed to show joy, however no one noticed that.

After that small event, Einar advanced along with his army, towards the kingdom of Breifne. When entering through the border, he realized that there was no kind of border guard.

So he quickly and orderly commanded a group of vanguard so that they could check the road ahead and avoid any kind of surprise attack on the army.

The vanguard soldiers advanced slowly and carefully along the road, however they could not find anything among the small forest that was in the place.

After walking for 2 hours, they reached a beautiful lake where they could see the capital of the kingdom of Breifne, which had 6 meter high walls.

The vanguard soldiers then checked the soldiers on the walls with spyglasses to try to have an approximate number of how many enemies they were going to face.

Because they knew that the enemies would have been able to evacuate all the people from the city they were sure that they would not face a solid defense.

When they were sure they had counted at least 600 defenders of the walls, you alone soldiers of the vanguard took their horses and began to ride towards where the army was.

That with the intention of being able to report on the number of enemies that they would end up facing in that city.

Upon arrival they quickly informed Einar who only stroked his mustache ‘A city with only 600 defenders. I think it is really true that we are going to face a great army.

I think once I conquer the city, it will take me at least a week to prepare a transportable version of the onagers.

Well, it would be quite dangerous to meet the enemy army and not have at least one large-caliber weapon ready to launch Nordic fire or chlorine gas.

Although the idea of ​​using such dangerous weapons bothers me, an enemy is dangerous and an armed one is more dangerous. ‘

When the troops arrived at the capital city of the kingdom of Breifne, they besieged it, because Einar knew that it was completely useless to send a messenger.

Simply setting up the siege camp and ordering the soldiers to prepare wooden towers, as he thought he was using the same strategy Ansgar had used.

This was to save on the use of Nordic fire and chlorine gas, since he had to save as much of these valuable materials as possible.

Because they would be used during the battle, he would have with the Irish coalition.

Defenders simply watched, completely stunned, as wooden towers were assembled around the walls.

Although they did not understand what he wanted to achieve if they increased the security on the walls to avoid any kind of attack on them.

When the towers were built, the snipers climbed towards them and once everything was ready, a group of soldiers advanced with their shields.

Pretending that they were going to start the siege, the defenders of the capital city then rang the alarm bells and everyone climbed the walls.

When all the enemies were present, Einar gave the order that the massacre would begin, so the snipers killed all the defenders.

Unlike Ansgar’s mistake of only placing a few wooden towers, Einar installed 20, ensuring that all defenders were killed on the walls.

When the massacre ended, a group of special forces climbed towards the walls and opened the gates of the city, so the army quickly entered and searched for any kind of person that might be inside.

Unfortunately, they did not find anyone, so Einar rested for a week in that city to prepare the weapons to fight against the enemy armies.
