The Sage of Einar

The next day, after everyone had had a good rest on the boats, Einar disembarked on the main island of the Faroe Islands. Using the signals, he made his ships approach the coast.

Once they arrived, they descended. Because he did not know if there were enemies on the island, Einar ordered all the soldiers to come down, fully armed with their crossbows with explosive bolts.

All of them, once they were ready, advanced on the coast, forming some columns ready to be able to shoot in rows in case the enemies found them.

Einar who was leading an army of 5000 soldiers armed with repeating crossbows, was surprised when after crossing a small slope when he looked at the army of crusaders that were surrounding the Faroese tribe.

With a malicious smile, Einar ordered his troops to surround the entire place and to wait for the night to launch their attack.

Meanwhile, the priest in charge of the siege left his troops surrounding the place, as he was sure that his fleet had won the war.

That is why I had the hope that in a few days more reinforcements and food will arrive to continue the siege.. From the walls, the warriors and slaves saw the movement of troops.

So the Jarl Mikkel only laughed at the fate of the crusaders because he knew that if the reinforcements had arrived, it could only mean that the war had been won.

Taking advantage of this, the Jarl ordered his soldiers to place sleeping plants in barrels of liquor, this is why he planned to use the liquor to make the Christians fall asleep.

When the warriors finished mixing all the liquor of the tribe with sleeping plants, Jarl Mikkel gave the order that ropes be used to lower the liquor.

As they did so, the Jarl climbed the ramparts and shouted in Latin, "Donum tibi."1

The mercenaries and levies of the place looked carefully at the barrels but approached slowly, and when they arrived, they picked them up.

After opening them, they realized that they were barrels of liquor, so they started drinking and organized a party.

Because of the confidence that they all drank from that liquor, including the priest who got drunk, 'What a beautiful gift, hopefully they too can surrender.'

Throughout the afternoon, they drank liquor so that at night most of the camp was sleeping. Only a small part of the knights of Paris had not drunk anything.

How guards focused their protection on the outside of the gates of the wall so they never prepared for an attack from the outside because they thought their fleet had won.

Einar who was a little sleepy shook his head from side to side and gave the order to advance in order to end the war.

The soldiers stopped and advanced while pointing their weapons, so that they could kill anyone who will get up.

Little by little, they covered more space until they reached the perimeter of the crusader camp, which was in almost complete silence.

The soldiers then entered tent by tent to subdue the sleeping soldiers, this is why Einar wanted slaves.

Because they would have the great honor of removing landmines on the island, it was very dangerous to leave them there.

Little by little they advanced and when they had already captured more than 70% of the enemy soldiers, the gates of the tribe's wall opened and warriors ran out.

This made the soldiers on guard face off against the Norsemen, but even though they touched the warning signal, it was too late.

Einar had already dominated the battlefield. The enemy soldiers who woke up were killed until Einar's troops were reunited with Jarl Mikkel's warriors.

At that moment, Einar approached Jarl Mikkel and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Jarl Mikkel. Kalevi keeps saying good things about you."

Jarl Mikkel started laughing. "I'm glad to know that bastard is still alive. His father kept asking me about his son's condition.

But if you are in this place, I can assume that you won the naval battle. "

Einar nodded. "We defeat the Christian fleet at sea. There should be thousands of corpses on the coast and others more at sea.

If you want my advice for at least a year, do not eat fish near the island. I will take care of sending you enough food.

But partly I'm here to help, but the other thing I came for is why I want to integrate your tribe into the Nordic nation.

You can maintain the power of your islands, but you will have to adapt to the constitution, so your children will lose the right to rule.

But you will keep your status as a nobleman and your estates. The administration will be run by a governor. I hope you don't mind my terms."

Jarl Mikkel, far from being angry, felt flattered because being in the Nordic nation would be beneficial for him and his tribe.

Not to mention that he could maintain noble status, which was impossible with the Thing assembly, as the Jarl has to be rotating once he dies.

"I accept your terms but you will have to convince the Thing assembly to approve your request."

Einar smirked. "Only files that hold an assembly at this time will show you Odin's fury."

Jarl Mikkel nodded and ordered his warriors to bring the members of the Thing assembly.

When the Thing members arrived, they were seated on chairs while they glared at Jarl Mikkel.

"What are you trying to do? Jarl Mikkel, you know that if you do something stupid, you will lose your position and be banished."

Einar looked at the members of the Thing seriously "He did not order them to be brought, I went, now before you have two options, the first is to accept being assimilated by the Nordic nation or the second is to face the force of my army.

Just so you know, I killed hundreds of thousands of Christian soldiers. You can look to the coast to see their corpses that are rotting away.

Before they refuse, see the power of my weapons. "

Einar made a sign of his hand and a priest was led to the front of the Thing assembly.

The priest was placed in front of the members of the Thing.

"This bastard was the one who commanded he besieged you, I want you to see his end."

Einar then took out his revolver and shot him in the head, killing him. "This weapon is a direct weapon from Odin and it can kill anyone as long as I want it."

One member of the Thing laughed, "That's a lie, you're a ..."

Einar shot him in the chest and subsequently shot him in the head, killing him.

"Someone else wants to check Odin's power."
