The Sage of Einar

Einar, who was in the army barracks, looked with pride at the soldiers wearing their breastplates and steel chain mail protecting their bodies.

Because of the technology of cast steel and the use of molds, it took very little time for the trusses to be built, not to mention the spinning machines.

They were helping to be able to produce the clothes in quick quantities, so the soldiers could have their green uniform underneath their armor.

As for the emergency training, it was progressing very well because to begin with; they were taught at all times that they are defending their families and their homes from the enemy.

If for the crusaders, it was a holy war for the citizens of the Nordic nation; it was a patriotic war, so Einar made the most of that concept.

For the feeling of patriotism could overcome the feeling of religious fanaticism.

While some soldiers were running with all their defense equipment and weapons, others were firing their repeating crossbows.

Well, they had to adapt to the operation of the new weapons, which could fire 3 bolts in a row, giving them a clear advantage over normal crossbows..

At that moment, the bells of merchants could be heard, so Einar stroked his mustache.

'I suppose it should be Kalevi with the last shipment of oil that I will be able to receive. I hope he can report in time that a danger is approaching to the north.

Well, I am almost certain that his island will be the first point where the crusaders will arrive, but if that is the case, it will be better to send the fleet to be able to intercept his fleet. '

Einar looked at the soldiers earnestly and bit his finger, not sure whether to do that or wait for the Crusader fleet to be near their shores.

Without a doubt he had a dilemma however, he was completely sure that any decision he made would have to end up fighting the crusaders at sea.

But it would have a significant advantage if the Faroe Islands fought with them, because it could search for them while they were landing on those Islands in order to launch an attack.

However, that meant having to donate La Isla and possibly he would not be present when his children were born, which could seriously endanger the lives of his two wives.

Well, although Felipa was being trained every day by Einar on care and how to perform a correct cesarean section.

There was always the danger that an accident could happen, so he had two options before him.

Einar sighed and stroked his nose because he did not know what to do, so after a few seconds, he decided that he should talk about it with his wives.

When he arrived at the port, he realized that there were many ships which were full of petroleum, which was a good sign because, with that petroleum,, enough Nordic fire would be made.

To be able to equip all the defensive towers with at least 4 hours of continuous Nordic fire firing, which was a bit scary, as it would end up creating a veritable sea of ​​flames along the entire coast.

Kalevi, who was on his boat, realized that he was waiting for him at the docks, so he greeted them and once he got off he realized that the situation did not seem to be normal.

To begin with, the fishing boats had been drastically reduced, not to mention that there seemed to be no children running around as there normally were.

But there were a lot of soldiers carrying things from one place to another. All this worried him a bit, but he did not know what kind of thing could have happened.

When Kalevi approached Einar, he could see the seriousness on his face. "Kalevi I'm glad you're coming but I have some terrible news to give you."

Kalevi swallowed a bit of saliva and looked seriously at Einar. "Something has happened. Oil is no longer useful or ..."

Einar did not let him finish, as he shook his head. "There is an invasion on the way with more than 4000 warships.

All of them are full of enemy Christian soldiers, ready to kill Norsemen like us just because their church and Emperor Ludovico want it that way.

You should have to send someone to report, but I want you to wait for me only today because I need to speak with my family.

Because of what will depend on them if I travel with you along with my entire fleet to be able to help you or I simply have to wait on my island to attend the birth of my children.

I hope you can understand that this is something very important to me and that it really has too high a value. "

Kalevi, who was just processing every sigh and sat on one of the wooden piles of the pier. "I understand Konungar Einar, but I hope he can help our people.

Well, unlike you, I am sure that we will end up losing because we are a small tribe and we do not look anything like you. "

Einar smiled and patted Kalevi. "You don't have to worry. I'll do my best to make the right decision.

But I hope you understand that everything will depend on what my family says because this decision is extremely important and it is not something that I can make myself.

For the moment, enjoy the tranquility of the place and tomorrow I will have an answer. If you want some liquor or food, you can ask the soldiers to take it to you completely free.

You can think of it as a special treat for keeping you waiting for a day. "

Kalevi nodded and looked at Einar seriously before walking away, as she also wanted to think that her family might be in danger.

That same day, Einar did everything he had to do and watched all his people work hard to bring food to their families.

Not to mention that they were also tired but happy because they knew that all their effort was essential in order to guarantee the security of the nation.

'This war should be in the history books of the future, as I am completely sure what will be the preamble to something greater or will it mark the beginning of a new era.

Whatever the definition, my name will be in that textbook and that's what worries me. '
