The Sage of Einar

Two days after the conquest of the kingdom of Breifne, Einar received a messenger from Ansgar who was in the barony of Cavan.

'Konungar Einar, our troops have conquered the kingdom of Athlone and all the baronies of Breifne.

However, there is one barony to be careful with, and that is the Barony of Adragh, which appears to be under a curse.

You may not believe it, but we have been in contact with some spirits in that place. It is not a land that can be taken over by the living.

But if you want to know more about that place you will have to go personally. As Odin's herald, I am sure that you will be able to remove the curse from that place.

Now that we are at the border, I just wait for confirmation to start the attack on the kingdom of Oriel. '

Einar sighed and stroked his mustache 'Curses and ghosts in a barony. I think that's something new. I have the question if Erika can do something against them.'

At that moment, the white deer that was eating seeds raised its head and approached Einar.

Einar smiled and patted the deer on the head "When the war is over we will visit a place with ghosts Erika. I hope you can help those souls to reach their destination.

Although, as a father, I do not know the consequences of doing that. You must be strong because I will be with you at that moment. "

Dreide who was looking at Einar's strange behavior could only breathe deeply as he did not understand the affection he had for the white deer.

'Maybe Einar is a druid, and that is why he has a connection with the white deer. That would explain the strange behavior so familiar that he had with the animal.

But if it is that way I have to admit that it is amazing that my fiancé is a druid, without a doubt our children will be surprising. '

After a few minutes, Einar finished writing the letter to start the invasion of the kingdom of Oriel.

Unlike the other kingdoms, Einar specified the card that Ansgar could not attack the kingdom of Ulster.

Because it was quite likely that the enemy army will be in that place, so it was extremely dangerous to be able to face such a large army.

Preparations had to be made in advance.

After about 4 days, Ansgar who was waiting at the border received the messenger from Einar. So after reading the letter he looked at his soldiers with joy and gave the order to advance.

The first point to conquer in the kingdom of Oriel was the barony of Ardee, which was located on a completely flat terrain free from swamps.

This completely benefited the army, as they were able to use the snow skis to advance without any delay.

It is because of this that it only took them one day to arrive at the castle of Ardee. When they arrived, they found a castle with a round wall which was made of stone blocks.

It was also 5 meters in size, so it was a castle that was very well built. Ansgar, seeing it could only sigh.

By order, bring me the siege camp and assemble wooden towers around the castle for the snipers, for although the castle was a good fortress.

It did not seem to have many defenders, so Ansgar used the most effective method to besiege that castle.

While this was happening in the Barony of Ardee, in the northernmost part of the Barony of Belcoo, Einar's army was advancing towards the Barony of Dungannon.

The path was somewhat complicated because of the density of the forest, but after two days, they reached the border with the kingdom of Oriel.

Which was completely free of any kind of guard. There were only some guard posts which had been abandoned for months.

When the army crossed, they reached the Dungannon barony marsh area, so they set out on a 5-day journey to the barony castle.

The path was complicated because in the swamps there were no visible paths, so they had to create their own paths to get to the castle.

Once they arrived, Einar looked at a peculiar castle as it was built on an island around what appeared to be a frozen lake.

This surprised him quite a bit, as it was the first time that he had seen a castle made in a good strategic area.

"It is certainly a well-planned castle, sadly they made a slight design mistake and I guess they never thought that someone would be crazy enough to attack it in winter.

I fully understand why they did it. However, I am the guy who will attack in winter regardless of the consequences. "

Dreide who was next to him looking at the castle with a spyglass sighed "It seems there are only a few hundred defenders.

I really have no idea if this strategy they are using of leaving only a few hundred defenders is good or bad.

For although they are delaying our advance, I think they are wasting valuable castles and cities, leaving only a few defenders. "

Einar stroked his beard. "I think they are doing the right thing, really the strategy of defending a castle to the end would make sense if they were facing a normal army.

Unfortunately for them, I do not have a normal army. I have an unstoppable force with weapons capable of destroying any defense they have.

Being really honest, I think it is better for them to delay us because that way they could prepare an army against us.

Although really everything they are doing is a waste of time because I am going to end up winning this war, but I suppose that pride and ego are very great in leaders.

But I may also be making a mistake and in the end they are only doing that to survive.

Now Dreide what strategy would you use to attack the castle knowing that it is surrounded by a frozen lake. "

Dreide stared and then looked at Einar seriously. "If the defenders are so few we could assemble three sniper towers and shoot the defenders.

This would not kill them completely. However, we could create an opportunity for our special forces to conquer the castle gate.

At that moment, we can launch a complete attack against the castle. I think it is completely worth the risk, as it is a good castle.

But we can always go the easy way and just burn it to the ground. "
