The Sage of Einar

Dreide, who was quite overjoyed because of Einar's opportunity, took advantage of all that he had learned during his time with Einar.

So he quickly organized the army, which was not complicated at all since she had learned from Einar how she had to do it.

Once everything was organized, she gave the order that the catapults be assembled and that guards and barbed wire be placed around the bell.

This to be able to guarantee a defense in case the defenders will try to attack during the night.

After 2 days the catapults were ready to fire, so Dreide asked Einar for help to calibrate the firing of the catapults.

Einar nodded and began with the task of calibrating the catapults. For that purpose, vases with earth were thrown at the castle walls.

In this way, the weight of the vases with Nordic fire was completely emulated.

When Einar finished calibrating the catapults, he let Dreide continue, so the Celtic woman without wasting time gave the order for the catapults to fire the Nordic fire.

To begin, she burned the main gate to prevent them from leaving through that place. That way, if the defenders wanted to escape they would have to do it from the walls.

Where the snipers were already prepared and ready to be able to finish off any enemy that could survive the fall.

The defenders of the castle suffered because of the fire, which seemed to be unable to go out, as they discovered to their horror that every time they used water to extinguish the fire this got bigger.

In just minutes, and after a constant bombardment with Nordic fire, the defenders jumped from the walls to escape the fire because they were afraid of being trapped in the castle.

It was at that moment that the snipers started shooting at the defenders, falling from the walls. In just a few minutes, there were quite a few corpses around the castle.

However, the defenders no longer seemed to be falling from the walls as they could no longer even climb because of the fire that was completely burning the castle.

At that moment, Dreide looked at Einar. "Is it a good win?"

Einar smiled and nodded. "You did very well, but remember that the method of burning the castle only works if you are not interested in keeping the castle.

If you are in a border area where there are enemies, it is better to use another method, otherwise you will lose a good defensive point.

Although as attackers we have the advantage, that does not mean that we can burn all the castles, however you did a good job this time.

You managed to kill the enemies without having a death. Now we must march towards the Barony of Killala, because we have to remove the walled monastery that is the capital of the Baronia.

Once we have finished with him, we will go to the Barony of Sligo to be able to negotiate with the other Celtic tribe there.

I hope we can reach a good agreement because with your help this war will end a long time before. "

After those words, the army prepared to abandon the siege, as there was no longer anything to attack or defend.

The next day they left in the direction of the walled monastery of Killala. The road was not so complicated as there was no kind of snowstorm.

From what they were able to reach the monastery in 2 days, which was beautifully decorated in its Roman style, Einar was even surprised, as the church had a typical Roman style.

Which was composed for the most part by arches and vaults. Also, being a fortress there were no windows of any kind.

When the army has just completely surrounded the walled monastery, a message is sent demanding the surrender of the monks who were inside the place.

The messenger, who was a citizen of the capital of the kingdom of Ui Maine, asked to speak with the leaders of the monastery in order to negotiate his surrender.

At that moment, the doors of the monastery opened, and two monks came out with raised hands.

"Blessings to you messenger, you can take us to your leader so we can talk. We really don't want to fight because we have nothing to defend ourselves with.

We are just a group of monks who are trying to survive this cruel winter. "

The messenger looked at them and took them to King Einar. When they arrived, they were searched for any kind of object weapon that could be used to harm Einar.

However, the only thing they could find in those monks was a Bible and some crucifixes.

Einar who was looking at them smiled "Welcome monks, I am glad to see that you have decided to come to negotiate the surrender of your monastery.

Would they like to drink pine leaf tea or do they want to speak directly? "

One monk looked seriously at Einar. "King Einar we don't want to fight against you. We just want to continue investigating the bible in search of the secrets it hides.

If we can surrender, we are willing to hand over everything of value from the monastery. All we ask is that you allow us to continue investigating and transcribing the texts in order to preserve the knowledge.

I don't know what the other monks in the other monasteries on the island would have been like, however we have a tradition since the founding of the kingdom not to interfere with the life of the kingdom. "

Einar showed a smile and with a sign of his hand he indicated to the priest Walter to come closer. When Walter arrived, Einar asked him for the bible.

With the bible in hand, Einar opened the Gospel according to Judas Iscariot, so he gave it to the monk so that he could read it.

"The bible you are studying is the result of the censorship of the Christian church. The Christian Nordic church offers you a greater knowledge about the holy scriptures.

It can also offer you a way to communicate spiritually with God, although everything will depend on the faith you have.

It is a different way of reinterpreting the bible and its knowledge. Of course, that the final decision will be yours, however if you accept to learn about the Christian Nordic religion.

I am fully willing to allow you to go directly to our island to learn even more about what the church of Rome hides.

A new monastery will also be built for them and as long as they abide by the laws of the nation they will be free to live their lives in seclusion, if that is what they wish. "

The two monks looked at each other and began to read the Gospel according to Judas Iscariot.
