The Sage of Einar

The sound of the siren began to wreak havoc throughout the imperial palace, so one of the guards who was near the laboratory.

He swallowed hard and opened the door, wanting to know what was making the sound.

When he entered, he sighed when he saw that it was some crazy invention of the herald Einar. "Konungar Einar, the noise of his invention is creating havoc in the imperial palace."

Einar stopped and put his hand on his face as he realized that he had made a big mistake because he had not taken into account where he was.

"Inform everyone that it was an invention and I want them to bring Seren as I require their artisans."

The guard gave a military salute and left the scene.

Einar just sighed and looked at his son. "What do you think of this little test?"

Daven spread his hands joyfully. "Surprising. I didn't know a sound like that could be made just using air."

Einar patted the machine. "We can make it bigger and put in more air slits as well as some special inlets to make the noise even louder.

But with these sirens we can improve our quality of life because although they are a bit scary, we can guarantee that we will report on enemy attacks.

The optical telegraph is good but only informs this little machine will be able to put everyone on guard. "

After saying those words, some steps could be heard, like some children crying.

When the door was opened, Einar could see their wives entering with their children in hand.

For all of them were extremely concerned about the thing that Einar had created.

Einar, seeing his children cry, began to walk towards their wives and took little Erik and little Katherine.

"It's okay children, it was just the sound of an emergency siren, it won't hurt you."

The two babies who were crying began to relax as they felt the security in Einar's words, so they stopped crying.

At that moment, Einar kissed his two children and looked at them with affection. "That's my beautiful babies. You have to be strong. I promise you that the next emergency siren tests will be in other places.

Only the emergency sirens will be used when necessary, but hopefully it is only for testing ... "

Einar interrupted his words when merchant bells could be heard.

'How strange, I thought that merchants would not come until some time later, because it is only July 15th.'

Einar looked at his children with affection. "Child's dad has to go to the dock to attend to the guests may have brought something of value."

After saying those words, Einar handed his wives to the babies and gave them a kiss before he ran to the dock.

When he could arrive he did so sweating because he had been running because he did not know if they were new traders, but when he arrived, he did not see a fleet of ships.

Rather, he looks at a Drakkar belonging to his father-in-law and numerous warriors.

But among all of them, there was a Jewish merchant. He could distinguish him because of the clothes he had.

This made Einar serious because what would be so urgent to send a merchant to inform him.

As he approached the Drakkar, he signaled to his guards to stop guarding the ship.

"Mercator salve, habes nuntium ad me dare"1

The merchant looked seriously at Einar.

"Classis milia navium Imperio Francogallico facta est.1

Ad invasionem parandam, dimissis Kalendis Iuliis

Forsitan mense Septembri pervenerint hae literae omnes informationes. "

Einar, upon hearing the merchant's words, felt a real sense of fear, so he took the letter that the merchant had offered him.

Taking it, Einar opened it and began to read the contents.

'Emperor Ludovico went mad, and it is said that he had a dream where he saw a red-haired man burning the Christian world.

 

So he came to the conclusion that it was the husband of Kassia, his stepsister.

 

So he organized all the fleets of merchants and his own to launch an invasion that would leave the ports of the Franco empire on the first day of July.

 

Our spies estimate more than 5000 ships full of militias, soldiers, volunteers, and the holy knights of Paris.

 

It is said that they will rape women and conquer the island of King Einar, considering it pagan.

 

Not only that, Emperor Ludovico put a reward of 1000 gold coins and a noble title on the head of Kassia.

 

While he would give 500 coins for each son or member of the royal family of the Nordic kingdom.

 

The Jewish council hopes that you can prepare for the invasion, due to the arrival time, we will not be able to help you.

 

But you are doing the best we can to buy mercenaries to prevent them from joining Emperor Ludovico's fleet.

 

The Catholic Church calls the invasion a holy crusade against the whore of Kassia and the pagans of the north. '

Einar at that moment squeezed the sheet of paper, and a huge fury could be seen on his face.

It may not seem like it, but everyone around him could feel something wrong around Einar.

Einar took a deep breath and closed his eyes before looking at the merchant and his father-in-law's warriors.

"Because of the gravity of what is coming, they have the option to go back or stay and see how I create an army of thousands of people.

If those idiotic Christians and that stupid emperor think he can send me to a stupid fleet of thousands of ships and he can conquer my nation.

He is very wrong. I will fight to the end and show him that no one threatens Einar Hermansen and his family. "

The warriors of his father-in-law and the merchant only looked at Einar and agreed to stay because they were not willing to return.

Einar just nodded and asked his guards to search for all members of the Thing, as well as the army and warrior leaders.

Because they had a topic very important to the future of the nation to discuss, everyone would gather in the old Great Hall.

Well, it was the closest place and where they could talk without being disturbed by anyone.

Must prepare for invasion, they left the first day of July

Possibly they arrive in September, this letter has all the information.Hello merchant, do you have any news to give me?
