The Sage of Einar

While this was happening in the eastern part of the kingdom of Ui Maine in the western part, Einar was about to besiege the capital of the kingdom.

When the soldiers were besieging the city, one gate in the wall was opened and a young man came out, accompanied by some old men.

They came out with their hands up, so Einar looked at them with his spyglass with some curiosity.

The men walked over to where the soldiers were.

When they arrived, one older men spoke in Latin "We requested a meeting with King Einar to discuss our surrender."

One soldier looked at him curiously and stepped forward. "I can let you in, but we will have to check their bodies for any dangerous weapons."

The old man translated the words, and the three agreed so the soldiers searched for dangerous things.

When they found no weapon or something dangerous, they were brought before Einar, who was wondering how he should attack the city.

When he saw the three people arrive, Einar smiled. "Welcome to my siege camp. I suppose you must have something important to tell me?"

The young man who was with the two elders stepped forward and knelt before Einar. "King Einar, on behalf of the citizens of the capital we ask for surrender.

We do not have the troops or the weapons to be able to fight against you; we are willing to surrender the city without fighting because there is no point in defending something that no longer exists.

A few days ago, Bishop Suffragan held a wedding where he murdered the king and many important people in the city.

We did not find out in time, so the son of a bitch managed to escape; we do not know in which direction he has gone, but we are sure that they should be going to the kingdoms that he has not conquered yet.

This is because it is very likely that he is looking for support to establish an archbishopric in this place. In his escape, he took all the defense troops of the city.

So we have nothing to defend ourselves with. The only thing we ask is that it allow us to maintain our freedom and the right to our homes that were passed down from generation to generation. "

Einar sighed upon hearing that and showed to the young man that he need to get up. "I will see to it that all of you can keep your properties in this city.

Since you are the first to surrender before I send a messenger, however, you have to agree to be searched for weapons.

As well as your houses will be searched to be able to confiscate anything that could be used to harm the army.

If you agree to these terms, you will keep your homes and your freedom, however you will have to learn the Nordic language and customs.

In exchange, they will be able to take a citizenship exam where you will get the rank of citizens, for which you will enjoy rights and new obligations. "

The three men nodded and said at the same time, "We agree to your request, King Einar."

After those words, the young man made a sign so the gates of the city opened and Einar order his soldiers to enter in the city.

When they entered, they being received as authentic heroes by the Irish who had been left to their fate.

Following the protocols that Einar had set, the soldiers searched the population next to their houses; they confiscated many weapons, however no one was punished for it.

As no one refused to search their homes, in order to maintain order, the soldiers began to create guard brigades.

At night Einar who was with Dreide went down to the catacombs below the castle as he was curious to know the history of the Roman legion that had founded the city.

When he came down into the catacombs, he could see a huge stone room where the history of the forgotten legion was carved.

Although much of the writing on the wall had unfortunately been damaged, Einar was able to read the story with some curiosity.

\'We are the legion forgotten by Emperor the Great Clement Maximus, the newly appointed new emperor created the Legion XXVl as a defense unit of the island on his journey to Gaul ...\'

Einar could not continue reading that part, so with the light of the torch of him he continued looking for some other parts of the text.

\'Emperor Clement was defeated by the forces of Emperor Theodosius. Our legion fears the punishment of the new emperor, so we have to leave the province ...\'

With curiosity, Einar kept looking for another part of the text \'In the province of Hibernia we found a new home, God bless emperor Augusto and his grandson Flavio, who had talked about how easy it would be to conquer the island ...\'

Einar frowned, as he knew very well that Augustus had never arrived in Britain, much less Ireland, although what most intrigued him was Flavio\'s name.

"How strange it is assumed that Augusto did not have a grandson named Flavio."

Dreide looked at Einar curiously, as he did not understand what Einar was talking about, much less could read Latin.

Einar ignored his doubts about Augusto and his supposed grandson, Flavio, to continue reading \'The Scotis managed to gather a great army and defeated us in the mountains.

We have lost our ability to attack, so after speaking with the legion leader, we decided to leave our conquered lands in eastern Hibernia and focus our defense on the western swamps… \'

Einar then realized why there was no trace of the Romans on the rest of the island, and why the kingdom of Ui Maine was the only one with unique buildings.

After this, he read all the text that he could from the other walls and understood how the Romans ended up being assimilated by the groups of Scoti.

After reading all that, Einar sighed and looked at Dreide. "This story is very interesting, but for you to understand it I will have to tell you a story about the Roman Empire and its brief conquest of the island of Brittany."

Two days later, Einar who was eating some meat was interrupted by a messenger who entered the battlement tower.

The messenger made a military salute and looked at Einar seriously. "Konungar Einar, the army of the Irish coalition, was defeated by Ansgar\'s forces.

According to reports, Ansgar would have defended the castle of Chainoc, although the exact number of enemy deaths is not known, it is estimated that they were at least over 30,000 enemy soldiers.

As for Ansgar\'s army casualties, 782 soldiers were killed and 582 wounded. "
