When Einar arrived at the port, he looked curious as two people descend from one of the Drakkar, apanied by a group of Nordic warriors, all of them looking at that ce with curiosity.


    Well, it was nothing like the things they had seen before, because to begin with, the buildings were more beautiful than the ones they had.


    Not to mention that people seemed to bepletely happy while wearingpletely new clothes. No one seemed to be a beggar.


    Something very different from what they were used to seeing in the Nordic nations or in the Christian cities.


    Earl Risto realized that he was being watched, so he looked at the young man with red hair and strange clothes who was looking at him.


    Although he was not sure he could tell that the young man was the mythical Konungar Einar, so he approached him respectfully.


    When he arrived, he greeted "A pleasure to meet you Konungar Einar. I thought you would be bigger, but are you the mythical herald of Odin?".


    Einar smiled and spread his hands. "I suppose you must havee out of the sea a long time ago because you don''t know the things that have happened here do you?"


    Risto nodded. "I do not know what has happened. It took almost 4 months at sea, trying to find its location was somewhatplicated.


    But first let me introduce myself. I am Earl Risto, representative of the Nordic alliance that is forming around the kingdom of Denmark to be able to stop the Christian invasion on the wall of Danevirke.


    You may not know it, but Christians have been threatening our people with a possible invasion sincest year, fortunately they have not been able to do so because of the strong wall of Danevirke.


    He has stopped them, because otherwise I would be almost certain and that is they would have attacked us with everything they had in their power to destroy us.


    That is why we learned about you through a series of Skalds, who have spoken about your great feats.


    That is why the Nordicmittee sent me to this ce to be able to negotiate with you about a possible alliance to ask for your help against the Christians.


    But that''s just why I''m here, although I''m curious about what happened or why you seemed somewhat disappointed when I didn''t know how to answer you. "


    Einar gave an order with his hand and one of the soldiers went to the warehouse from where he took three banners in bad condition, which he threw at Einar''s feet.


    "About 3 months ago I waspletely confronted by the crusader fleet which was made up of more than 7000 ships.


    Ipletely defeated them outside the province of the Faroe Inds, not only that, but I also sent a letter threatening the entire Christian world with an invasion.


    Well, because of the war I lost my beloved wife, which was a real disgrace, but it reminded me that sometimes revenge is the best way to achieve a goal.


    These banners are the representation of all the people who killed that day. I think that answers your question if I am willing to help you.


    Of course I will, but if you came to this ce, I think you should know that I am not like the other Kings or merchants.


    What I need is poption. If you want me to help you, I can do it and give you arms and armor to face the Christian threat.


    But what I want is arge poption. I need you to campaign to attract thousands or hundreds of thousands of Nordics to my ind.


    I do not care what they have to do. I will pay with a weapon or armor for each Nordic person they can bring. It does not matter if it is a child or a woman.


    If you can bring whole families, I would be extremely grateful. As ves, I am willing to pay with material goods so that you can enjoy a morefortable life.


    I could also give them weapons and ammunition in exchange for ves, but unlike the Nordics their price will be lower. What I do want you to remember is that if you are going to bring Nordic people, do not treat them as ves.


    You must treat them with great care and as if they were citizens of my nation because I want them to have a good impression about the things that they will be able to enjoy with me.


    I do not want criminals among the Nordics you send; I want a free and normal poption that is willing to live on mynds.


    You can promise them that they will neverck absolutely nothing, as they will have food and work, along with the possibility of havingnd in all the ces that you conquer in the future.


    You can especially tell the young people that there will be a woman waiting for them if they decide toe with us, so they can start their families.


    Now I think that what I have asked you is not much, but before anything else I think I should show you the power of the weapons that you can receive. "


    With a sign of his hand, Einar ordered a fanatical ve to be brought along as well as a crossbow, a bow, and a steel breastte.


    When he took everything in front of Einar, he ordered that the ve be put on the steel armor. After this, he was tied to a wooden post.


    Einar then raised a bow with an iron arrow. "These weapons will be those that you will face with the crusaders or Christian soldiers.


    It''s a simple, in bow with iron arrows, but look at the strength of the breastte. "


    Einar fired the first arrow and ended up missing, causing the ve to cry out in pain as the arrow had pierced his foot.


    An evil smile formed on Einar, and he looked at Risto. "An apology for that but I enjoy hearing their screams."


    Einar then fired again, and this time the arrow hit the steel shell but could not prate it. "As you can see, our armor can easily repel this kind of arrows.


    Now I will show you a weapon capable of piercing any enemy armor. "


    Einar threw the bow to the ground and took thepound crossbow. After cing the bolt with a piercing steel tip, he fired, killing the ve as the bolt pierced his heart.


    "This kind of crossbow is capable of killing enemies from 100 feet away and is easy to reload, not to mention that anyone can use it after only a short time of teaching.


    You do not need to train them for hours, so you are willing to ept my treaty. If you canply with it, I could give you more weapons to fight against Christians.


    Our people are strong and may not be as numerous as they are, but if you have the right weapons, you can face any problem. "
