After having sunk the enemy ship, Einarughed with adrenaline and took another gigantic arrow to be able to fire again.


    But at that moment, a somewhatrge stone fell near where Einar was, so some wood chips were buried in his hand and parts of his body.


    Einar, with some anger, gritted his teeth and pointed his ballista towards the ship that had the stone thrower. After aiming, he fired, and it was then that the enemy ship sank.


    Why the gigantic arrow had managed to make arge hole in the bow that made the crew of that enemy ship jump into the water because staying on the ship was suicide.


    In just a few minutes, the enemy ships that had engaged Einar''s ship were destroyed, so the main ship continued to advance in search of more enemies..


    "I want a damage report"


    One warrior who had a broken arm approached Einar. "15 warriors died and 20 are wounded, but the weapons are intact."


    Einar sighed and looked at the soldier that the seriously wounded were taken down. I will attend to them in a few more minutes.


    As for the dead, take their dog tags and valuables before throwing them into the sea. Their souls are already in Valha, and their bodies will serve to feed the fish.


    Unfortunately, we cannot bring them back, but I will do a ceremony in their honor when we return. "


    The warrior made a military salute with his good hand and began to order the crew.


    Einar left one of his warriors in charge and went down because he had to check the state of his wounds, as the wood chips were dangerous because they could be infected.


    Coming down, he sat on a chair and, using a green mirror, began to remove the wood chips before using a needle and thread to start stitching up the wounds.


    When he finished, he sighed and went to see the seriously injured because they were the ones who worried the most.


    While he was doing it abroad, the naval battle was still in full swing. Most of the ships of the Nordic fleet faced hundreds of enemies.


    But with the Nordic fire and the special weapons, they managed to stop the advance of the enemies, so the real counterattack began.


    For this, the soldiers ced special dynamite cartridges in therge explosive arrows of the ballistas.


    Which would explode at the same time as the ballista arrows. The cartridges had almost 1 kg of dynamite so they would not only destroy the enemies but were nned to destroy arge part of the enemy ships.


    The first ship to use the dynamite sticks was Einar''s, so when one of the enemy ships got close enough, the ballista arrow was used.


    At that moment, the gigantic date flew out and ended up crashing into the middle of the enemy ship, so arge explosion urred.


    It was so strong that the enemy ship broke in half, because of that the ships of the Nordic fleet used their secret weapon.


    The crusaders, who werepletely confident in their numbers, heard powerful explosions throughout the battlefield.


    For a moment, they thought it was the trumpets of the apocalypse that announced the return of Christ.


    But to his bad luck, it was only the Nordic weapons that began to destroy enemy ships as if they were made of paper.


    Gautier, who was near one of the exploding boats, fell to the ground because of the shock wave and hit his head.


    For a few seconds, he seemed to lose consciousness as he felt his ears buzzing. The feeling waspletely annoying.


    But after a few seconds, he was able to regain consciousness a bit, so he grabbed his face with his hand and he could feel the fresh blooding out of his interior.


    This far from scaring him only caused him to squeeze his hand because he knew that at that rate, the fleet woulde to an end.


    When he got up, he looked at some of the dead soldiers on the deck, so he gave the order to the captain to start the retreat.


    For he did not intend to stay in that ce to die. At that moment, the Archbishop went up on deck and looked at the destruction all over the ce.


    "Duke Gautier, you just had to win the battle and now we are escaping. I should kill you and leave your corpse in the sea to rot.


    You don''t deserve heaven ... "


    Gautier used his sword to pierce the heart of the Archbishop who looked in horror at the sword in his chest, tried to speak, but only blood came out, so he ended up dead.


    "Guido, inform the crew that the Archbishop died in battle, an arrow pierced his heart and he fell into the sea."


    Gautier then took the archbishop''s corpse and threw it into the sea, where once it fell, it began to sink as if it were a stone.


    Seeing that some ships withdrew, the crusaders had to make two decisions: the first was to try to flee, but the second was to stay and fight until the end, even if they did not win.


    They could create enough time for theirrades to escape, so the ships with the elite troops stayed just like the cam ships.


    The only ones who escaped were the mercenary ships because they did not intend to stay in the meat grinder that the sea had be.


    The ships of the Nordic navy began to feel that the enemies were reduced by what they celebrated and advanced to hunt down the enemy ships that had remained.


    Which were more than half the ships, so thest stage of the naval battle began in the cold sea near the Faroe Inds.


    Einar, who had just done a tracheostomy to save the life of a warrior, took a deep breath as he was quite tired.


    But he knew he had to go out to see the state of the battle, fortunately he had managed to save the lives of 5 warriors of the 15 who had entered.


    It was a small number, but it was not a god; it was just a simple human who had his mistakes and who did everything he could, but the wounds of many of them were so serious that it was impossible to do something to save their lives.
