The Sage of Einar

Einar, while he was advancing with his army in the swamp he could notice the worried look from all of them so to boost morale.

He decided to sing a song that he had learned in one of the courses he took in America, so pulling out his steel megaphone he began to speak.

"Everyone repeat after me."

Einar began to sing in a quiet tune.

"MICKEY MOUSE.

We play fair an we work hard and we're in harmony.

MICKEY MOUSE…"

All the soldiers began to sing that sticky song without understanding what it was saying, however they did it while advancing through the marsh.

The Celtic warriors who were listening to the catchy song, looked at the curious army of men marching through the swamp holding some strange weapons in their hands.

Unfortunately, they could not stay because the army was getting closer to where they were, so they withdrew, because somehow they were afraid.

The soldiers of the Nordic army looked extremely imposing. After advancing for a few minutes, the soldiers stopped as they reached a place where there was a large concentration of plants.

Which completely covered most of the road so it was extremely dangerous since he did not know what was under them.

Einar gave the soldiers a stop and commanded the 15 soldiers with flamethrowers, who were accompanied by his assistants and a sniper guard.

At that moment, they received the order to open fire so the soldiers with flamethrowers used matches to light the torch that was in the mouth of their flamethrower.

For their part, the auxiliary soldiers pumped the Nordic fire, when the tank already had enough pressure.

The soldiers with flamethrowers pulled the trigger and a stream of fire shot out, instantly burning the brush in front of them.

The fire burned no matter if there was water or if the ground was too wet, so it was only a matter of minutes before a large fire had started inside the marsh.

The soldiers of the Nordic army waited patiently as they watched the brush in front of them be completely consumed.

After 2 hours, the fire was completely extinguished as there was no more to burn, so they were able to advance.

Among the burned remains of the plants, they could find many traps that were in the place, which had simply been burned with the use of flamethrowers.

This set off the alarms for the soldiers as they realized that they would have to be using the flamethrowers at all times to clear areas with a lot of brush.

Since they weren't going to take risks because of the tricks that the enemies might have on them, Einar, who was advancing, looked at the burned traps with a smile.

'It is a good idea to place non-lethal traps in the advance of any army, but unfortunately they will not take into account that my army is not like any other.

In any case, if there are traps here, it is possible that we are approaching a town or some area that they do not want us to enter.

Very smart of him, but that won't work. We have to increase the level of vigilance, anyway. '

After that, advancing for a few minutes reached the outside of what seemed to be a village the soldiers with their weapons prepared.

Since they did not know what kind of thing they would find in that place, the soldiers with flamethrowers were ready to face whatever threat there might be.

To their surprise, when they entered they only found children who were extremely harmless. The little children looked curiously at the Nordic army.

So Einar approached one of them and tried to speak Latin "You can understand what I'm saying."

The boy shook his head without understanding Einar. This made Einar close his eyes as he remembered how little he knew about Irish Gaelic.

Which he had learned in college when he had to read information about the religious conquest that took place.

"Dia dhuit, An féidir leat mé a thuiscint."1

The boy smiled "Tuigim a dhuine uasail."1

Einar sighed, and from his bag he took out a candy, which he offered to the boy. "You know where your parents are. I would like to talk to them.

We are not your enemies. We can even help you with anything you need help. "

The child looked at the candy in his hand and did not know what to do with it, so Einar took a candy and put it in his mouth. The child, seeing that, did the same.

So his eyes widened with joy at how much he can feel the sweet taste of that white ball that had a quite pleasant taste that made him feel fresh.

"My father is not in the village because he went out with the rest of the warriors, but my mother and my sisters are, they are in those trees."

The boy pointed to the trees in the village and Einar felt a kind of chill when he looked and could see how there were people hiding in the trees.

He could barely be seen because of the well-made camouflage they had on their bodies. Einar took his steel megaphone and spoke in Irish Gaelic.

"Is mise an Rí Einar, ceannaire an airm Nordach, ní mise a namhaid"1

When the women heard that they had doubts so it was not until a young woman came down from one of the trees.

Fearlessly the woman advanced to where Einar was standing and she looked at him curiously, before using her hand to support Einar's chin to get a closer look.

Einar did nothing as she was pointing her revolver at him, so she could end his life at any moment if she tried to do something to him.

The woman, after seeing Einar crossed her hands. "To be a king, you are too young. I expected the king of the Norse to be someone greater.

But I'm sure you are the King of the Norse because you match the description of the Christians, even though you don't have horns and you don't seem to eat children.

Tell me what your people do inside our sacred land. You don't seem to want to kill because you didn't hurt the children, nor did you steal our things.

So you can't be an enemy, but that doesn't make you an ally either, which is what you want from us."

Einar smiled and put away his revolver. "An alliance, for I am in the sacred task of conquering the kingdoms of this place."
