Chapter 409: The profits of the Nordic nation
After having officially signed the treaty, Einar welcomed 45,829 new Nordic citizens who had arrived from different parts of the Nordic world.
All of them were willing to be able to be in a land that promised them too much, for which they all got off the ships.
To begin to follow the orders of the warriors who were in charge of organizing them.
Among the people who arrived, a few dozen Godis and Gydjas did, who quickly met with Einar and Asgot in order to learn everything necessary about the new Norse religion.
All of them had come voluntarily because they wanted to review the sacred texts of the creation of the world that Einar had written.
Not only had they come, hundreds of Godis had also come from the different Nordic kingdoms to learn about religion and to take the word of Odin to their homes.
This was done for two reasons. The first was that they all wanted to have a weapon against Christians and their bible, but the second was the signed Nordic treaty.
In which it was guaranteed that the Nordic religion would fully enter all the Nordic kingdoms and tribes to fight against Christianity that was declaring war on them.
For the next several days, Queen Malena looked curiously at the entire capital of Asgard and its surroundings.
She even had the opportunity to meet Einar’s family, being surprised because the children were nothing like his son.
They were true, respectful young men, so she felt a sense of inferiority in all respects.
Not only were the buildings gigantic and the standard of living extremely high, but the citizens were quite calm.
There could be children in the streets playing, but she could never see a beggar or some kind of orphan asking for coins to eat.
Food was guaranteed and everyone received products for their use such as soap.
On the market shelves, she could see everyone’s happiness, even the new Nordic citizens immediately adapted to their new life.
They went from living in cold areas with a poor quality of life to being in warm houses with a stable job.
Even the young men who came single already had a woman to spend their life with. It was simply a magical kingdom.
But what most attracted Malene’s attention were the weapons and armor, which would be of vital importance to the fight that would take place on the wall of Danevirke.
It was mainly for what she was waiting for. She would receive for the slaves and citizens brought in.
50,000 metal-tipped steel axes to penetrate armor, 40,000 crossbows, and 500,000 steel bolts, would also receive 35,000 sets of armors and chain-mail armor.
Those materials alone were too good, but they also got on credit, liquor, salt, glassware, runic books and tools to improve the lifestyle.
That is why Queen Malene thought of launching raids on the Frank empire throughout the year to steal slaves.
Because of the defeat of their fleet they did not have the power to defend themselves, so they were easy prey to get their objective because the attack on them was stopped by the defeat.
So they would take a long time to launch an attack because they were afraid, but they, as Nordics, were not afraid of the Christians.
After a week, Queen Malene packed her ships with the thousands of objects and said goodbye to Einar.
“Thank you very much for the hospitality shown Konungar Einar, although I would like to spend more time in this place I have to return to take charge of my kingdom not to mention that I have to prepare the defenses of the entire Nordic world to prevent the entry of the Christians.”
Einar smiled. “The pleasure was mine, Dronning Malene. Just remember that if you have Christian missionaries do not kill them just capture them and bring them as slaves.
I will pay very well for all of them. You are also free to bring their warriors to be trained by me. When they return, they will be able to train their own warriors.
I think it is important that they learn that war is going to change completely because I will bring technology that did not exist before to the battlefield.
Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you. If you ever need help, you can send a boat to ask for help.
I may not be able to send you troops, but at least I will be able to send you some weapons so that you can better prepare yourself or repel the enemies in the simplest way possible. “
Malene nodded and boarded her ship as she was quite impatient to be able to bring her warriors the weapons and armor so that she could reinforce the troops on the wall of Danevirke.
For although she was confident that she could win the war, she knew that she was no longer Einar to be able to destroy all the enemies with few troops.
When the ships left, Einar simply sighed because he hadn’t liked having Malena at all.
This because two or three times he tried to insinuate that they had sex. That would not have been a problem had it not been that in his instance he slept with all the guards that she had brought.
Undoubtedly something that caused fear in Einar, because there were things that he feared, and one of them was a nympho.
After this, Einar went to the army headquarters, as he was happy because of the 45,829 Nordic citizens.
10,000 had decided to be soldiers. It might seem like a small number however Einar would turn that force into a true murderous army on the battlefield.
Upon arriving at the army headquarters, he found the warriors gathered in ranks, all of whom had fought at some point in their lives, but they did not have the concept of discipline.
So Einar would convert them from a mob of warriors to a disciplined army before July.
So that they could go on the expedition to Ireland where that island would be completely conquered and the new weapons would be tested to demonstrate their overwhelming power.
After an inaugural speech, Einar ordered that all the warriors start running while singing some songs.
