The Sage of Einar

In the castle of Loch Garman, Einar stayed a few days while the scouts he had sent brought information about the state of the borders with the kingdom of Ormond

This Einar did with the intention of being able to finish off his border guards so that he could enter the kingdom and buy time before they realize that there was an enemy.

Also, taking advantage of the new affection of the population of Loch Garman for Einar, he got some people who knew very well the way to reach the capital of the kingdom of Ormond

They knew the towns that were there and even got the guidance of an old merchant who knew the roads to get to the capital. Among the roads there was one that was not well known, so that an efficient blow could be given.

After a few days, the scouts returned, finding a place where there were very few border guards, so Einar corroborated the information with his informants.

So he gathered them in the battlement tower room of Loch Garman Castle.

Einar pointed to a map and looked at the scouts and informants.

"According to the explorers, in this area near the river there is a small border post that is not very well protected.

I want to hear your opinions on whether it is feasible to enter through that place or we have to attack a more protected place in order to enter. "

A bearded and somewhat scruffy looking man showed a confident smile. "The last time I traveled to the kingdom of Ormond there were no towns near that area.

This mainly because it is a hilly area which has no value beyond grazing sheep, but it is a good idea to go through that place because after a day of walking we could reach the secondary road to enter the capital.

In that way, there should be no defenses because King Dunchad is a very suspicious guy, so he always has his troops close to him.

So the security in that place is pretty poor. I\'m sure we can get there before you know it.

Well, even if he knows of our existence, he will not be able to do anything because he will prefer to stay in his castle because he relies on its walls to be able to resist any kind of attack. "

The other informants had no problem with it as they did not know anything about the secondary road as they had not been merchants.

So they agreed with the actions of the merchant. Seeing this, Einar smiled. "Very well, we will go out tomorrow. I hope you are all prepared because it will be a long way.

We estimate that it will take us 4 or 5 days to reach the capital of the Ormond kingdom, but when we do, I will strike a real swift blow.

I will show you why I am the messiah and the leader of the Norse. "

After those words, everyone returned to their rooms because tomorrow would be a somewhat complicated day.

The next day, the army left the castle of Loch Garman and set out for the border of the Ormond kingdom.

After walking for a few hours, they got close to the border where a group of 15 border guards were.

So Einar tested snipers for the first time by having them crawl through the grass while wearing a grass camouflage on their bodies.

The snipers advanced slowly towards their positions to be able to shoot. All of them had been training for quite some time in using their Nordic carbine.

So once they reached the area indicated by Einar they aimed their carbines and waited for Einar\'s signal, which was the sound of a whistle.

When Einar blew the whistle, the border guards looked doubtfully at the hill in front of them, but it was at that moment that the noise of dozens of gunshots could be heard.

After this, the bodies of the 15 border guards were left on the ground, all of them had bullet holes in all parts of their body.

The snipers rose from the ground and aimed their carbines to fire again in case there were more enemies.

However, when walking through that guard post they realized that they had killed all the border guards who gave the signal that everything was free.

At that moment, a group of cavalry climbed the hill, which were the scouts who were going to go ahead of the army to be in charge of guarding the road.

The cavalry quickly crossed the guard post and made their way forward. When all the cavalry passed, the army climbed the hill.

They all advanced in an orderly manner to the guard post where they once arrived and began to advance into the Ormond kingdom.

After entering the kingdom of Ormond, the army began its march to a safe area where there were no people to create a safe camp.

After a few hours of advancing, they reached a small valley between the hills where they established their camp, leaving some guards on the hills to be able to take care of everyone\'s safety.

Einar who was in his tent looked at a drawing he had made of his entire family.

With enough affection, he caressed Kassia\'s face \'Already in a month and some days it will be the first year without you.

 

The children are growing well but I am sure that things would have been much better with you, unfortunately I am away from home to be able to put an end to the enemies of our nation once and for all.

 

I know you would tell me that revenge is not worth it, but sometimes it has to be done in order to achieve long-term well-being.

 

At this time, it is a necessity, but I promise you that it will improve after your brother asks you for forgiveness on his knees in your grave.

 

That son of a bitch may be an emperor, but in front of your husband and your corpse he will be a simple man who will have to pay for the damage he did to you.

 

You did not deserve to die, Kassia. If I had been at that moment I know that maybe I would have saved your life ... \'

 

A tear ran down Einar\'s face before he sighs and he will wipe it with his hand \'Either way I hope you will wait for me wherever you are, when I finish taking care of the children and my life has come to an end.

 

I will meet you, and at that moment I will not leave you. I love you enough to be able to say that I would like to spend eternity with you. \'

After this, Einar extinguished the candle and lay down in his sleeping bag to rest, as they would be heavy days for the march to the capital of the kingdom of Ormond.
