The Sage of Einar

Chapter 428: Duel on the outskirts of the town of Luimneach

Einar advanced through the swamps of the Thomond kingdom with his revolver in hand, for he did not like to be passing through places where enemies could be anywhere.

Although he knew it was a safe zone, his years of experience in the army made him quite cautious. After advancing for a full day, the army rested on a small hill.

Einar who was sitting on a stone with a small tensegrity table in front of him, was cleaning his revolver while talking to his deer. “You know Erika, sometimes I wonder what our life would be like if you had transmigrated with me.

I really think things would have been different, but I can assure you that I would take care of you even more strongly, unfortunately fate always has other ideas and one is not in control of them.

However, since you are now a deer or your father is going crazy.

I can guarantee you that you will have a beautiful forest where no one will dare to attack the white deer. It will be a capital crime to make it pay with torture and death. “

The white deer simply opened one of its eyes and sighed, Einar turning his head and seeing the state of the deer only smiled.

“I already understood that you do not like me to talk about laws and boring things. Very well, I will tell you your favorite story.

It was a princess lives in a beautiful castle full of countless riches and a very good life.

Everyone in the kingdom hopes that … “

The next day, Einar woke up when he heard someone speak to him. When he opened his eyes, he got up and ordered the soldier to pass. At that moment, a soldier entered the tent, making a military salute.

“Konungar Einar, we found the enemy army from what we could observe. They are preparing some obstacles on the outskirts of the city. I think they will want to face us outside the city.”

Einar stroked his beard and looked at the soldier “Inform the soldiers to get ready to leave because I want to get there before it gets too late because preparing a siege is not easy.”

The soldier left the scene and went to report while Einar prepared to be able to leave with his soldiers.

After a few minutes, the army left the camp and made its way out of the town of Luimneach.

When they arrived, Einar was surprised to see the defensive measures around the capital, as they had dug trenches and placed wooden stakes around the whole place. It was certainly a true attempt to stop the conquest.

Although Einar only shook his head because he knew that all that was useless before the weapons that the Nordic army had, when the soldiers prepared and took their positions.

Einar sent a messenger requesting the surrender of the city, guaranteeing the rights of the defenders and the soldiers so that they could maintain their freedom.

What Einar never expected was the reply from King Cenn, who asked to do an honor match on the outskirts of the city. Einar could choose the weapon, but it could only be melee without armor.

With some surprise, Einar accepted the duel. The Nordic soldiers, upon learning of the duel shouted with joy as the Konungar Einar would face the first enemy king.

As a weapon, Einar used the ax that his father and his wives had given him. For his clothes, he took off his military uniform, exposing his well-turned muscles, and put on a cloak of wolf skin.

Also, as an extra defensive measure in case it was a trap, he left the snipers in the front line ready to shoot and the revolver was placed in the back of his pants.

With everything ready, Einar walked to the battlefield where King Cenn came out carrying with him only a linen shirt and a sword.

The two arrived at the front of the field where they would fight. King Cenn looked at Einar with some curiosity “I think you are young enough to have accomplished so many feats.”

Einar just smiled and raised his shoulders. “I think age is indifferent if you have the experience, but why want to risk your life fighting me.”

King Cenn took a deep breath. “Because if I can defeat you in a fair duel it will show that the army was strong but that the man who commanded them was weak.”

With a serious look, Einar looked at Cenn. “Unfortunately for you I am first a father and husband, then I am a ruler.

That is why I will fight to kill because I do not intend to leave my family helpless anymore, however I promise you that I will spare your family and your people after your death.

I will also personally pray a prayer on your behalf as a sign of respect. “

King Cenn held up his sword, so Einar held up his ax. The two men looked at each other before they started running.

Although Einar was not such a well-versed warrior in the use of weapons, he was confident that he could achieve victory.

The two men clashed their weapons, so Einar taking advantage of the moment took a step forward and with his fist hit the face of King Cenn who took a few steps back, showing a smile.

King Cenn took a few steps and tried to cut Einar with his sword, but every blow he made was stopped by the ax that seemed to withstand the blows of his sword without any problem.

Einar, defending himself from Cenn’s attacks, took advantage of a moment of carelessness and took a step back, avoiding a blow and causing Cenn to lose control. At that moment, with his ax, he tried to decapitate him.

King Cenn moved with all his might thus avoiding the mortal blow to his neck, however the ax managed to cut his neck. Taking a few steps back, Cenn held his neck and gave a cry as he pounced on Einar .

Seeing that his opponent had lost control of his emotions, Einar decided to make a small sacrifice, so he took a step forward and managed to block Cenn’s sword that managed to cut part of the skin on his right shoulder.

At that moment Einar, using his hand held King Cenn by the shirt and pulled him towards him, giving him a good head butt on the head. This made Cenn drop his sword.

Doing the same, Einar dropped his ax and with his right hand he punched him hard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground where he could barely move. Before walking towards him, he picked up the sword from the ground.

With the sword in his hand, Einar buried it on King Cenn’s chest, ending the duel fairly and with honor.
