Copy !req
12. Are you telling me to withdraw my troops from England?
Copy !req
13. We're not withdrawing. We're letting them rest.
Copy !req
14. Marching in the winter weakens them.
Copy !req
15. Let the soldiers rest.
Copy !req
16. As you wish, my liege.
Copy !req
17. The summer.
Copy !req
18. We're going to strike next summer.
Copy !req
19. I, too, shall lead an army in battle.

Copy !req
23. I wanna go home.
Copy !req
24. We don't need those pirates for now, either.
Copy !req
25. I thought I'd be able to earn a lot this year.
Copy !req
26. We can't do anything,
now that the army is staying put.
Copy !req
27. This is why I hate being a hired hand.
Copy !req
28. What's Askeladd gonna do?
Copy !req
29. Askeladd.
Copy !req
30. It'd be a shame to spend all winter like this.
Copy !req
31. And we already raided all the good villages.
Copy !req
32. True.
Copy !req
33. What's the plan?
Copy !req
34. We can't do anything about it.
Copy !req

Copy !req
43. Shoot in alternating rows!
Copy !req
44. Nock!
Copy !req
45. Loose!
Copy !req
46. It's no good! Retreat!
Copy !req
47. Looks like it's a skirmish between Frankish tribes.
Copy !req
48. The fort's defended by only a few men.
Copy !req
49. I'd put the attackers at about eight hundred.
Copy !req
50. I can't believe they attacked the fort head-on.
Copy !req
51. So, this is the local stronghold.
Copy !req
52. Whaddya think? I can practically smell the treasure.
Copy !req
53. Oh, so that's what you're after.
Copy !req
54. Let's do it, Askeladd.
Copy !req
55. We'll side with the attackers.
Copy !req
56. Let's smash the chests open and seize every last coin within.
Copy !req
57. Hell yeah!
Copy !req
58. I was wondering why we came to the boonies.
Copy !req
59. That's our Askeladd!
Copy !req
60. Your predictions were spot-on.
Copy !req
61. Let's make up for our loss in England.
Copy !req
62. Okay, Thorfinn.
Copy !req
63. You're up.
Copy !req
64. We're going to war.

150. Normanni
Copy !req
151. Normanni
Copy !req
152. We're going to war.
Copy !req
153. Send a message to the leader of the attacking army.
Copy !req
154. Here's the tack we take.
Copy !req
155. "Your tactics are pitiful!
Copy !req
156. They are a sight to make one retch!
Copy !req
157. Therefore, our band of warriors offers its aid.
Copy !req
158. Consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity wisely,
Copy !req
159. for we will surely guide you to victory.
Copy !req
160. All we ask in return is half the spoils of war on the day of the fortress's fall.
Copy !req
161. Resume the siege in the morn."
Copy !req
162. Once you've given them the message,
remain among them and observe the tide of battle.
Copy !req
163. Understood? Now go.
Copy !req
164. What's wrong?
Copy !req
165. Go, Thorfinn.
Copy !req
166. Do you have any idea how many people I've killed?
Copy !req
167. I went scouting,
Copy !req
168. and I also brought up the rear.
Copy !req
169. I've accomplished enough.
Copy !req
170. But you...
Copy !req
171. What? You want a reward?
Copy !req
172. If you close the deal, I'll give you three gold coins.
Copy !req
173. I swear in the name of Tyr.
Copy !req
174. Who asked for that shit?
Copy !req
175. How long are you gonna run away?
Copy !req
176. Whoa, now that's a scary face!
Copy !req
177. Just a bit of humor, that's all.
Copy !req
178. But if that's what you want...
Copy !req
179. I'll need you to bring me the head of a commander, at least.
Copy !req
180. Little bastard's got such an attitude.
Copy !req
181. Are you sure it's okay to let him handle the negotiation?
Copy !req
182. The losing side will be on edge.
Copy !req
183. The envoy might be gutted before anyone even gets to the table. Happens all the time.
Copy !req
184. And who cares if we lose one measly brat we picked up along the way?
Copy !req
185. Who are you, boy?
Copy !req
186. This is no place for children!
Copy !req
187. I'm a messenger.
Copy !req
188. Can anyone here speak Norse?
Copy !req
189. What's his deal? What's he speaking?
Copy !req
190. He sure ain't a Frank.
Copy !req
191. Is he a spy from the fort?
Copy !req
192. Seize him.
Copy !req
193. I'm a messenger.
Copy !req
194. Can anyone here speak Norse?
Copy !req
195. And you want half the spoils?
Copy !req
196. Oh, you mercenaries have grown too bold by far.
Copy !req
197. "And you want half the spoils?"
Copy !req
198. But such boldness implies confidence.
Copy !req
199. Normanni boy.
Copy !req
200. Normanni?
Copy !req
201. Those people from the north attacking England?
Copy !req
202. Even a boy can see it.
Copy !req
203. If you keep attacking the main gate,
you achieve nothing but the slaughter of your own men.
Copy !req
204. Their defenses are weak on the lakeside.
Copy !req
205. That's where we'll strike.
Copy !req
206. Your plan is ill-considered.
Copy !req
207. The river that leads to the lake gets steeper upstream.
Copy !req
208. There's even a waterfall.
Copy !req
209. Our ship sunk downstream.
Copy !req
210. That's what would happen if you attacked from the lake.
Copy !req
211. "That's what would happen if you attacked from the lake."
Copy !req
212. So you won't accept our offer?
Copy !req
213. Then Askeladd will take his hundred men right to the defenders instead.
Copy !req
214. He'll do the same if I die.
Copy !req
215. If I don't signal that the deal has been closed,
Copy !req
216. you will instantly be up against a hundred hardened warriors of the North.
Copy !req
217. Do as you wish.
Copy !req
218. My lord!
Copy !req
219. But...
Copy !req
220. If your words are shown false, I will have your head.
Copy !req
221. But if they are good and true, in the name of Jesus Christ, I'll share my bread equally.
Copy !req
222. "I'll share my bread equally."
Copy !req
223. I want my short swords back.
Copy !req
224. They're a memento of my father.
Copy !req
225. That'll be Thorfinn.
Copy !req
226. One high arrow, and two low arrows.
Copy !req
227. On the double, lads.
Copy !req
228. We must be over the peak before the moon rises.
Copy !req
229. We're stuck standing ship guard all the way down here.
Copy !req
230. I wanna fight too!
Copy !req
231. Damn that fat-ass general.
Copy !req
232. Look up there.
Copy !req
233. It's a dragon!
Copy !req
234. It's on top of the mountain!
Copy !req
235. A dragon?
Copy !req
236. A dragon climbing the mountain?
Copy !req
237. Yes, my lord. The ship guards sent a report last night.
Copy !req
238. I see.
Copy !req
239. It's an ill omen, my liege.
Copy !req
240. I want to see it too.
Copy !req
241. Hey, boy.
Copy !req
242. Your friends are no-shows.
Copy !req
243. "I want to see it too."
Copy !req
244. The sun is out and rising.
Copy !req
245. "The sun is out and rising."
Copy !req
246. Just get on with the attack, fat-ass.
Copy !req
247. You'll see soon enough.
Copy !req
248. You just insulted me, didn't you?
Copy !req
249. It seems your head will be the centerpiece of our victory feast tonight, boy!
Copy !req
250. Prepare to attack!
Copy !req
251. Prepare to attack!
Copy !req
252. Charge!
Copy !req
253. Uh-oh, show's already started.
Copy !req
254. We're late to the party, lads!
Copy !req
255. Put some spirit into it!
Copy !req
256. The battlefield awaits!
Copy !req
257. It'll be the same every time!
Copy !req
258. Come on.
Copy !req
259. I want ladders on the west face.
Copy !req
260. Casualties be damned!
Copy !req
261. Hey. Which one's the enemy leader?
Copy !req
262. See the one with the feathered helm?
Copy !req
263. That's him.
Copy !req
264. A commander.
Copy !req
265. You bastard!
Copy !req
266. I knew he was lying! Kill him!
Copy !req
267. Kill the brat!
Copy !req
268. How dare you!
Copy !req
269. The boy runs off, and the fortress still stands!
Copy !req
270. What's wrong with this stupid army?
Copy !req
271. Let me be clear. We are not going home when the snow comes!
Copy !req
272. Like hell we would!
Copy !req
273. We're here until this fortress has been captured!
Copy !req
274. What?
Copy !req
275. Heave-ho!
Copy !req
276. Row! Full speed ahead!
Copy !req
277. First one there gets their share doubled!
Copy !req
278. Put your backs into it!
Copy !req
279. That's it!
Copy !req
280. They're our allies!
Copy !req
281. All forces forward!
The fortress will fall by sundown!
Copy !req
282. Never imagined they'd carry their ship over the pass.
Copy !req
283. Don't hesitate!
Copy !req
284. I want eighty men from the right wing to the landing!
Copy !req
285. Crossbows, with me!
Copy !req
286. Is that all you got?
Copy !req
287. The lake's not a barrier.
Copy !req
288. It's a shallow pond that makes for a perfect attack.
Copy !req
289. Great! We're going in!
Copy !req
290. What the hell? They split my shield from that far?
Copy !req
291. They got Olov!
Copy !req
292. We're fucked!
Copy !req
293. Askeladd!
Copy !req
294. Crossbows?
Copy !req
295. I suppose we'll have some casualties.
Copy !req
296. They're sitting ducks in the water!
Copy !req
297. Take out as many as you can before they disembark!
Copy !req
298. A child?
Copy !req
299. What?
Copy !req
300. The attack's over?
Copy !req
301. Did they run out of bolts?
Copy !req
302. Prepare to land, lads!
Copy !req
303. Now's our chance!
Copy !req
304. Shit!
Copy !req
305. Kill him!
Copy !req
306. Avenge the captain!
Copy !req
307. That kid's crazy!
Copy !req
308. Get him!
Copy !req
309. Go! Roll over them!
Copy !req
310. Nice! Raise some hell!
Copy !req
311. They've got their hands full defending the gate.
Copy !req
312. Get rid of 'em, and make it snappy.
Copy !req
313. Heave-ho!
Copy !req
314. Mon dieu, these Normanni...
Copy !req
315. This fortress was no match against my brilliant military tactics!
Copy !req
316. The defending commander died in the battle.
Copy !req
317. Our captives claim it was the work of a mere child.
Copy !req
318. You mean that boy?
Copy !req
319. Those Normanni are a deadly bunch...
Copy !req
320. If we let those savages leave this place,
they may one day return as enemies.
Copy !req
321. What shall we do?
Copy !req
322. They traveled over the mountains to get here, right?
Copy !req
323. They'll need to go back the same way carrying their ships.
Copy !req
324. That's when we'll strike.
Copy !req
325. A sailor on land is as helpless as a babe.
Copy !req
326. Your Highness!
Copy !req
327. Reporting to General Jabbathe, sir!
Copy !req
328. What is it? Speak.
Copy !req
329. The treasury...
Copy !req
330. Where's my treasure?
Copy !req
331. They also plundered the church and the houses of all the leaders.
Copy !req
332. They took everything.
Copy !req
333. What?
Copy !req
334. I see.
Copy !req
335. Attention, leader of the Franks!
Copy !req
336. What?
Copy !req
337. In interest of a fair split,
Copy !req
338. we grant you the victory,
Copy !req
339. while we humbly accept the treasure!
Copy !req
340. I trust you have no complaints?
Copy !req
341. All in all, I think it quite a reasonable compromise on our part.
Copy !req
342. After all, you're now the proud owner of your very own fortress!
Copy !req
343. You filthy barbarians!
Copy !req
344. Oh no.
Copy !req
345. They'll descend the waterfall.
Copy !req
346. Savages!
Copy !req
347. Get the boats!
Copy !req
348. Pirates!
Copy !req
349. All boats in the fort have been destroyed.
Copy !req
350. Beasts!
Copy !req
351. Swindlers!
Copy !req
352. Yokels!
Copy !req
353. What's that? Sorry, my Frankish is a little rusty.
Copy !req
354. But enough fun. Shall we call it a night?
Copy !req
355. Thorfinn has yet to return.
Copy !req
356. You don't say?
Copy !req
357. Such a shame. He's bound to be dead.
Copy !req
358. More treasure for the rest of us.
Copy !req
359. You're alive?
Copy !req
360. Gotta say, the kid's tough.
Copy !req
361. You hurt?
Copy !req
362. Askeladd!
Copy !req
363. That was their commander.
Copy !req
364. Oh, so you did get him.
Copy !req
365. We had a deal.
Copy !req
366. You can't back out now.
Copy !req
367. I, Thorfinn, son of Thors, warrior of Iceland,
Copy !req
368. upon my father's blade,
do seek a duel with Askeladd.
Copy !req
369. To avenge my father's death.
Copy !req
370. Whoa.
Copy !req
371. He wants to duel now?
Copy !req
372. He's got guts.
Copy !req
373. I, Askeladd, son of Olaf,
Copy !req
374. upon the name of my ancestor Artorius,
accept Thorfinn's challenge.
Copy !req
375. But...
Copy !req
376. not this instant!
Copy !req
377. Right now, we've got to fly!
Copy !req
378. Man the oars, you ugly shits!
Copy !req
379. Hey!
Copy !req
380. Quick, before they close off the river!
Copy !req
381. You son of a bitch, quit fucking around!
Copy !req
382. Who cares if there's a dragon?
Copy !req
383. I ain't scared!
Copy !req
384. Right, right.
Copy !req
385. But y'know...
Copy !req
386. It's here!
Copy !req
387. Farewell,
Copy !req
388. land of the Franks!
Copy !req
389. Let's go home!
Copy !req
390. We struck it big!
Copy !req
391. We'll survive the winter!
Copy !req
392. Hell yeah!
Copy !req
393. It's just like a burning torch in the storm
Copy !req
394. It's just like a burning torch in the storm
Copy !req
395. It's just like a burning torch in the storm
