Chapter 339: The arrival of Vilhelm’s goods and the farewell
Vilhelm looked proudly at the warehouse where Einar had taken him. In it were hundreds of crossbows and steel bolts.
There were also 200 liters of sulfuric acid in one liter jars, all those jars would be a destructive weapon against enemy gates or troops.
Although they were very few, the real batch of weapons that Vilhelm carried were 1000 Molotov bombs, which were filled with Nordic fire.
They might seem few, but Vilhelm would only use them against highly concentrated groups of enemies.
Also, as a gift, Einar had given him two flamethrowers, with a capacity of 50 liters of Nordic fire.
Vilhelm planned to use them against enemy buildings to create chaos in their defenses.
Although everything seemed to be very little, the real gains were the 5000 steel axes and 2000 steel breastplates.
Einar had to create a water mill to be able to repeatedly hit a steel plate to form a shell.
Although it had a very simple appearance and was much less efficient at protecting the whole body, the armor could perfectly protect from arrow shots and could even stop crossbow bolts.
That is why Vilhelm was too interested in breastplates because with them he will equip his troops, to protect the rest of the body it will be worn under the breastplate chain-mail.
In this way, it is guaranteed that the whole body is complete. As auxiliary things, he took bandages, alcohol and jars of macerated plants to treat diseases in Ireland.
It would also take almost 30 tons of dried and salted fish.
“This whole warehouse is too impressive Einar, with this equip I am sure we can win because those stupid Irish kingdoms that are weak.
They don’t have the fearsome cavalry, but even if they did, flamethrowers or Molotov bombs will teach them to respect my power. “
Einar smiled and patted his father-in-law on the shoulder. “These weapons are only the beginning. At the moment, I can’t produce much more, but when you come back, you will have more weapons.
You have to be careful of the assassins or people who try to create damage to you; I hope you accept the 20 Greek guards that I prepared for you.
They have modern training and will be able to protect you on the battlefield. Although they are not warriors, they are trained to protect you in any situation. “
Vilhelm nodded and looked seriously at Einar. “You can be sure that I will accept the guards. I always appreciate having more security by my side.
But how should I treat them so that they do not reveal themselves against me? “
Einar smiled and spread his hands. “Give them women and allow them to have families, keep their families close to them.
Do not allow them to interact with your generals or people in charge, but allow them to talk to normal troops.
Maybe they can even find out if there is any action against you, it’s the best I can think of at the moment.
In the future, once I have an army of 50,000 soldiers, I will be able to send you surplus troops to take care of your troops.
Either way, remember to start with the construction of towers in your kingdom to be able to transmit information through the optical telegraph.
When you come back, you can take a group of soldiers who can read the code so that they can train your soldiers.
It is important that you do not forget to build the towers, as they are very important for the safeguarding of your kingdom.
With them, you can transmit information in seconds. You are going to take almost 20 tons of cement. You just have to make the bricks using the slaves that I give you.
When you come back, I will give you more cement so that you can work without problems in the construction of your kingdom.
It is important to prepare everything to avoid giving the Irish kingdoms a chance to create a counter-offensive.
At least this year I will not be able to help you because I will be with the last construction of the kingdom.
Next year, I will be able to help you completely after conquering the Faroe Islands. After finishing the conquest of Ireland, I hope you can help me.
Well, I plan to conquer the main British island. That area is part of the influence zone of the empire that I plan to do. “
Vilhelm was proud of Einar’s words. “You have everything you need to be the husband of my daughter. I am sure that the world will remember you as the conqueror Einar.
Even our people will make sagas with your name, which they will sing for all eternity until Ragnarok, where I am sure you will fight Odin himself. “
Einar nodded and hit his chest. “I’m sure we will fight alongside Odin in a deadly battle at the end of time.
I know Heimdal will fight Loki, but I will take that place away from Heimdal and end that danger on my own.
Because of him, Baldur died and condemned humanity to a horrible fate.
But now that I think about it, I will give you a copy of the Nordic book, a book that talks about our religion and history.
It will be a good way for your Godis to improve their knowledge of the history of our people.
You could also bring them a few days when you come back so that they could learn how to do the new rites of religion.
Although the ideal would be to educate many boys and girls so that they could transmit the ideology of the Nordic religion … “
Einar interrupted his words when the noise of merchant bells could be heard.
At that moment, he went out with his father-in-law and they could see the entire fleet of Vilhelm, who seemed to come with a large quantity of slaves and merchandise.
“It seems that winter was not an impediment to be able to catch slaves.”
Vilhelm began to laugh at Einar’s words. “Traditional Norse people love the value of gold and silver coins. We have been traders since we were children.
People are perhaps the easiest resource to find. That is why they are going to bring their goods to be able to sell them to you. “
When Vilhelm’s warriors landed, so did one of Vilhelm’s most loyal warriors, who promptly delivered the report to Einar on the merchandise brought.
‘12894 slaves, 256 monks, and 400 head of mixed cattle.’
Einar smiled happily. “Too bad there are no grains, but the Irish slaves and monks are more than enough to present a profit for the nation.
Do not worry, father-in-law with the dried fish, you must avoid a famine in your kingdom.
Be careful out there anyway. Not all places are as peaceful as Iceland. “
Vilhelm smiled and looked at Einar confidently. “Don’t worry, I’m a tough old man to kill. I won’t give you the pleasure of ending me without first suffering my will.
But I can be sure that even if someone kills me, you and my daughter will avenge me. That is something that gives me peace of mind. “
