The Sage of Einar

When Einar came out of the ship, he could see how some enemy ships were moving away, but there were others who were determined to continue fighting.

'I guess they realized that they can't keep fighting. It was a victory for us but how much damage we did to the enemy fleet.'

Einar just sighed and approached the flag officer, who was injured in some parts of his body.

"Give the signal that the ships must begin to deal the final blow to the enemies. It is time to apply the extermination plan."

The security guard nodded and from a wooden box he took two fireworks, which he strategically placed on the deck of the ship before starting to use matches to light the fuses.

When the fireworks flew into the sky, they created a series of noisy signals that everyone in the field could see.

The Crusaders wondered what those signals meant while the Nordic ships knew it was the signal to start the genuine attack and stop playing defensively.

Everyone in the ships got ready and advanced so that they could hunt down the enemies that were moving away as well as those that were approaching.

The crusaders then faced, in a complex way, a force superior in armament but inferior in size. In any case, the Nordic ships advanced in the sea.

The fights between the remaining ships and the Nordic ships started in just a few minutes, unlike the previous tactics.

Where the ships stayed almost still, this time the Nordic ships moved in order to maximize the use of their weapons.

Especially the Nordic fire, which was used to destroy many ships because, with a small amount, it could be guaranteed that a ship would burn to ashes.

When the crossed ships approached, they realized too late that the strategy of the Nordic ships had completely changed because the confrontation was much bloodier.

This time it was not they who attacked, it was the Nordics who to start threw Greek fire to burn everything that was put in front of them while with the ballistas.

They were tasked with sinking wooden ships that got too close to their impact zone, also rather than wasting time finishing off wounded ships.

They were advancing towards the next objective because the holes they made in those ships were completely impossible to close, so a single hole was a sign that the ship would sink.

Due to pressure from the Nordic ships, casualties among the remaining ships increased exponentially.

Although they could use their Ballistas and Stone Throwers to deal damage to Nordic ships, they did only minor damage to crewmen and ships.

Because their ammunition was not explosive and they also couldn't create a true hole in the wood of most ships.

So some fanatical priests full of Iran ordered kamikaze attacks on the ships of the fleet, as it is the only thing they could do to try to eliminate the enemies.

The kamikaze ships advanced through the sea at full speed in a desperate attempt to kill the enemies. This created some fear in the Nordic ships because no matter how much they shot or burned those ships.

They continued advancing like uncontrolled beasts that the only thing they wanted was to be able to destroy their enemy.

Most of the kamikaze attacks failed because of the Nordic ships moving, so they were able to dodge most of them.

However, there were some who, because they faced 5 or 6 kamikaze ships, ended up being destroyed by those desperate attacks.

The battle at sea continued for the next few hours, where in the end, the Nordic ships imposed themselves on their enemies.

The few Crusader ships that had survived withdrew from the place because they had nothing to do. From the shore, the Crusader soldiers who were watching the fight.

They got on their ships and abandoned all their equipment because they did not intend to stay to fight the rest of the fleet.

Only the 30,000 soldiers who were besieging the main tribe of the Faroe Islands remained.

Well, they had not seen the sea battle because they were not interested in knowing the result because they knew that they would win.

With the withdrawal of the Christian ships, Einar gave the order to the ships that they will begin to search for prisoners or survivors at sea before nightfall because no one could survive that long in the icy waters of the North Atlantic.

During the following hours, prisoners or survivors were searched, but they barely rescued 2,937 prisoners and only 238 survivors.

As night fell, Einar reviewed the number of losses from that battle.

'According to the numbers, we lost 38 boats and 23 are extremely damaged. In terms of people, we lost 7829 soldiers.

It was an epic victory but the loss of valuable lives I did not like at all; I think the kamikaze attacks were the most dangerous of all they did.

As for the enemies killed, according to reports, more than 6,000 ships are estimated to have been destroyed, although the number may be inaccurate.

At least I reckon they lost over 100,000 soldiers in this battle. If that's true, this would be the most epic naval battle in this entire place. '

Einar sighed and drank some herbal liquor, 'But at least I managed to block the crusaders' attack. I highly doubt they can regroup.

 

But if they do, they will find a real surprise in the sacred land of Iceland, because the defensive towers, land mines and barbed wire will be enough to leave an impression on their hearts.

 

I just hope my wives are okay, as all of this was to protect all of them from the danger of the crossed fleet.

 

The only thing I don't like is that there are thousands of corpses floating in the sea water. I hope they end up being sunk or taken away from this area.

 

For otherwise tomorrow there will be hundreds or thousands of birds that will feast on their remains, anyway tomorrow I will disembark with all my strength to see the state of the Faroese tribe.

 

I also believe that I will take the opportunity to forcibly unite the Faroese tribe in the Nordic kingdom. This is the best time to do so.

 

With them, I can establish a permanent trading post to prevent traders from reaching Iceland.

 

That way I can start with the conquest of America. '
