Einar, who was on the coast, looked at the waves and the cold sea of the North Atlantic, while thinking about the next war that was coming.
But while he was looking at that, on the beach, a group of slave prisoners who had broken the rules and lost their freedom.
They were placing small wooden boxes on the ground, which they had to place with great care and cover with a little soil.
They all did this delicately because they had been able to see what happened when landmines were mishandled.
Because some of his companions had ended up dead, when they accidentally pressed the buttons that operated the land mines.
While they were doing the most dangerous tasks, a group of soldiers was placing warning signs and barbed wire around that beach.
They did this with the intention of informing anyone nearby that there were landmines in that place, so it was too dangerous to walk without caution.
Everyone in the nation knew that the symbol of the skull with two bones meant that it was a completely unsafe area, so they should never enter a nearby place because if they did, they would end up dead..
To inform and educate the population, Einar used the most basic and direct that there was, which was to carry out tests in all the towns and in the city to inform.
Because it would be too horrible to use cheap labor for testing, Einar used chickens to test landmines.
During the first tests, the people were so shocked that they were simply afraid of the punishment of the god Odin.
Well, many of them thought that it was some kind of magic that punished the enemies, but there was another group of people who thought that it was the punishment of God himself.
Who had given his messiah the power to condemn the bodies of sinners.
Because of the war effort, Einar didn't pay much attention to what people were saying about landmines. He just put up the red flags and warning signs.
To prevent accidents from happening in the future, since unfortunately, many times the caution signs could be ignored because they could not read them.
After those tests, most of the people understood the danger that the signals represented, so a kind of rejection of the nearby areas where there were landmine fields was created.
Even the children repeated to themselves every day that they should never have even entered a field with landmines because the danger was high.
Einar, who had been looking at the sea, stroked his mustache and watched the slave's work, so he took his megaphone. "You have 10 minutes to finish the installation of the land mines.
If they don't do it the right way, they will die. If they fail in time, I will force them to work at night.
Because for traitors like you, who violate the confidence of our great nation to be able to do stupid things that they thought were right.
There are no rights, there is only hard work, and that means that you will have to do the things that no one else can do because they are too dangerous.
If you want advice, work hard and maybe one day you will be able to obtain forgiveness, but at the moment you will not have forgiveness.
So keep working pieces of scum that we have quotas to meet and if you don't, things will be complicated.
Well then, I will have to force you the hard way and you know better than anyone that when I get angry, things get very bad. "
The enslaved prisoners who were working delicately began to sweat as they settled the land mines more quickly.
For although they were afraid of dying from some landmine, they knew very well that King Einar was a completely different person when it came to enemies.
The enslaved prisoners continued working for as long as Einar gave them, so when they finished, they gave them some wheat crackers with pieces of fish and some water so they could eat.
Before they had to start with the next beach where they had to be placing landmines, scenes like this were repeated throughout the island, as they wanted to have safe beaches to create fear among enemy soldiers.
For although Einar was sure that he could defeat a large part of his fleet, he knew that there would be ships that could land on the coast.
Like some survivors of the battles at sea.
Also, in the workshops of the city of Asgard, the sea mines were being built which had a creation time of almost 30 minutes each.
This is because they were more difficult to manufacture, whereas a wood landmine had a manufacturing time of just 5 minutes.
This made Einar decide that filling the entire South Sea with sea mines was a bad idea, so he decided that the mines would be dropped in case he had to withdraw with the naval fleet.
A security measure to be able to reach the coast and be able to prepare a solid defense against enemy soldiers.
At night and after supervising the laying of landmines for hours, Einar got on his horse and started on his way to the imperial palace.
Well, he did not want to be late because, since Laura's incident, Einar realized that he must spend more time with his children, because he did not want to lose one of them again.
When he arrived at the imperial palace at night quite tired, he could see his three young children on the sofa sleeping because they had fallen asleep waiting for him.
So, like a good father, he took the three of them and took them to their rooms, first to Laura, then to Daven, and finally to Norma.
When leaving his rooms, Einar only stretched out his hands because he was quite tired. When he opened the door to his room, he watched his wives and babies sleep.
So he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes, knowing that things could get a bit complicated in the days after.
