Copy !req
3. Oi! Look, warships!
Copy !req
4. We oughtta tell Gorm.
Copy !req
5. Hang on. Don't panic!
Copy !req
6. Those are Askeladd's ships.
Copy !req
7. We finally made it back to the village.
Copy !req
8. Looks like we managed to survive another year.
Copy !req
9. And you still haven't died, Bjorn.
Copy !req
10. We went pretty far.
Copy !req
11. Huh?
Copy !req
12. Whoa, look at the sheep!
They still got them out grazing.
Copy !req
13. Gotta fatten the livestock while you can.
Copy !req
14. That's Uncle Gorm for ya. Always the miser.
Copy !req
15. Well done on another year of service, lads.
Copy !req
16. Enjoy your winter!

JUTLAND PENINSULA, VILLAGE OF FEUDAL LORD GORM
Copy !req
103. NOVEMBER 1012 AD
JUTLAND PENINSULA, VILLAGE OF FEUDAL LORD GORM
Copy !req
104. Look at all the treasure.
Copy !req
105. Beyond the Edge of the Sea
Copy !req
106. Beyond the Edge of the Sea
Copy !req
107. Beyond the Edge of the Sea
Copy !req
108. They made a killing down in Frankish land.
Copy !req
109. That Askeladd knows his work!
Copy !req
110. I hear a few more dropped dead on this voyage.
Copy !req
111. Really?
Copy !req
112. Think they'll recruit from the village to fill those spots?
Copy !req
113. I can feel my blood boiling already!
Copy !req
114. When I go raiding,
Askeladd's ship is the only one for me!
Copy !req
115. You idiot. Three days and you'd be off to Valhalla.
Copy !req
116. Hold up. Where are your manners?
Copy !req
117. Wh-What's wrong with that kid?
Copy !req
118. Ready?
Copy !req
119. Yeah.
Copy !req
120. One, two...
Copy !req
121. Askeladd!
Copy !req
122. Welcome back!
Copy !req
123. Hello there, pretty girls!
Copy !req
124. Aren't you all just adorable.
Copy !req
125. Now, who wants some necklaces?
Copy !req
126. I'll take one!
Copy !req
127. I want a ring!
Copy !req
128. Ahh, Uncle Gorm.
Copy !req
129. Our women are so lacking in
modesty and discretion. I love it!
Copy !req
130. I'm here to talk about serious business.
Copy !req
131. Pay attention!
Copy !req
132. I'll start again.
Copy !req
133. The cost of a day's worth of food for one of your men is one and a quarter pieces.
Copy !req
134. Times ninety-seven men,
Copy !req
135. that's 121 and a quarter per day.
Copy !req
136. Always about the money, eh?
Copy !req
137. The value of pigs rose this year.
Copy !req
138. If you want to eat pork every day,
then you would need...
Copy !req
139. Beer would be separate.
Copy !req
140. Add in the cost of lodgings and firewood, and...
Copy !req
141. Don't worry about the money, Unc.
Copy !req
142. We had an excellent haul this year.
Copy !req
143. Give my men all the food and booze they want.
Copy !req
144. It's on me.
Copy !req
145. That's all I wanted to hear.
Copy !req
146. I'll buy you a drink.
Copy !req
147. We're going to celebrate with drinks.
Copy !req
148. We still have some of that
fine wine, right? Bring that out.
Copy !req
149. One, two, three...
Copy !req
150. Uncle. Do you really love money so much?
Copy !req
151. Who doesn't?
Copy !req
152. Money is a wonderful thing.
It brightens the heart just to gaze upon it.
Copy !req
153. Hey, Hordaland! What are you doing?
Copy !req
154. I told you to bring me my wine!
Copy !req
155. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
156. Oh, dear. What a troublesome woman.
Copy !req
157. Strange name that slave's got.
Copy !req
158. Hordaland?
Copy !req
159. Like the place in Norway?
Copy !req
160. Yes.
Copy !req
161. I bought her recently.
Copy !req
162. She's the daughter of some lord in that area,
but they lost a war, and the family went into ruin.
Copy !req
163. She cost solid coin for those pretty looks,
but she's slow at work.
Copy !req
164. Rich girls are useless. They just have a lot of pride.
Copy !req
165. By the way, Uncle...
Copy !req
166. What?
Copy !req
167. Could I ask you to witness for me?
Copy !req
168. I've got a duel scheduled just before supper.
Copy !req
169. A duel?
Copy !req
170. And...
Copy !req
171. It's not the slave's fault that she's been useless.
Copy !req
172. It's your poor handling.
Copy !req
173. What did you say?
Copy !req
174. You can make use of anyone...
Copy !req
175. with the right approach.
Copy !req
176. What?
Copy !req
177. What's going on?
Copy !req
178. It's a duel!
Copy !req
179. You can do it, kid!
Copy !req
180. Do it! Don't lose to him!
Copy !req
181. We gather here in the name of almighty Odin
Copy !req
182. to observe this duel between Thorfinn and Askeladd!
Copy !req
183. You are free to your choice of arms.
Copy !req
184. If you fight with honor,
Copy !req
185. should you die, your soul shall pass through the gates of Valhalla.
Copy !req
186. Are you kiddin' me?
Copy !req
187. That little kid's in Askeladd's band?
Copy !req
188. Maybe he'd let even someone like me sail with him too.
Copy !req
189. Is it just me, or is he kinda cute?
Copy !req
190. No way.
Copy !req
191. Askeladd's stronger, and he has more money.
Copy !req
192. The grounds for this duel being Thorfinn's desire to avenge his father's death.
Copy !req
193. Are there any objections from either party?
Copy !req
194. No.
Copy !req
195. Nope.
Copy !req
196. And now... begin!
Copy !req
197. Jeez. Thorfinn's so stubborn.
Copy !req
198. Go!
Copy !req
199. You can do it!
Copy !req
200. Do it!
Copy !req
201. You're... growing like a weed, boy.
Copy !req
202. How old are you now?
Copy !req
203. Back then, you were barely up to here.
Copy !req
204. He's fast!
Copy !req
205. Thorfinn's gone first!
Copy !req
206. He's in close!
Copy !req
207. Can't you humor an old man with a little...
Copy !req
208. small talk first?
Copy !req
209. He's on his feet!
Copy !req
210. Not even a scratch on him!
Copy !req
211. I've never seen a man send someone flying with a single swing...
Copy !req
212. Thorfinn jumped back, you idiot.
Copy !req
213. He knows if he'd stood his ground,
those short blades would've snapped.
Copy !req
214. The boy's grown strong.
Copy !req
215. Nice one, kid!
Copy !req
216. Askeladd!
Copy !req
217. Do it!
Copy !req
218. Brilliant!
Copy !req
219. Damn.
Copy !req
220. Good shit!
Copy !req
221. Get him!
Copy !req
222. Hang in there, kid!
Copy !req
223. Hey, Thorfinn.
Copy !req
224. About your old man...
Copy !req
225. Oh, damn. What was his name?
Copy !req
226. It was, uh... To... Toe? Tho—
Copy !req
227. Thors!
Copy !req
228. Thors! Right, that was it.
Copy !req
229. My memory isn't what it used to be, sadly.
Copy !req
230. Look...
Copy !req
231. I really hate to bring this up during your long-awaited bid for vengeance and all,
Copy !req
232. but I've killed more than my share of men, y'know?
Copy !req
233. And I just can't remember your father for the life of me.
Copy !req
234. Did I really kill this... Thorill fellow?
Copy !req
235. Tell me. How did I kill him?
Copy !req
236. I'm just trying to make sure this isn't all some dreadful misunderstanding, that's all.
Copy !req
237. You filthy bastard...
Copy !req
238. If you had fought him with honor,
Copy !req
239. my father would never have fallen to the likes of you!
Copy !req
240. During that fight,
Copy !req
241. you...
Copy !req
242. You took me hostage!
Copy !req
243. Oh, yes! It's all coming back to me.
Copy !req
244. He was the fool who gave up his life in exchange for his boy's.
Copy !req
245. What did he just do?
Copy !req
246. Can't lose control now, can we?
Copy !req
247. You've got a lot to learn, boy.
Copy !req
248. Fuck you.
Copy !req
249. Pop his shoulder back in, Bjorn.
Copy !req
250. You got it.
Copy !req
251. I've worked up an appetite.
Copy !req
252. Oh, that's right.
Copy !req
253. Uncle.
Copy !req
254. I'll take some mutton breast, if you don't mind.
Copy !req
255. Roasted with herbs.
Copy !req
256. I've been waiting for this.
Copy !req
257. I'm friggin' cold.
Copy !req
258. Oi. Ain't you supposed to be standin' guard on the ships?
Copy !req
259. I lucked out. Thorfinn doesn't wanna change shifts.
Copy !req
260. Huh?
Copy !req
261. You mean he's in a bad mood because he lost?
Copy !req
262. He's always been like that.
Copy !req
263. He likes it better out there.
Copy !req
264. It used to be his father's ship, after all.
Copy !req
265. Just leave him alone.
Copy !req
266. Not bad, not bad.
Copy !req
267. Hey, Askeladd!
Copy !req
268. Your fight today was incredible!
Copy !req
269. Huh? You think so?
Copy !req
270. You threw him at the end, right?
Copy !req
271. How did you do that?
Gee, it sure was somethin'!
Copy !req
272. But Boss...
Copy !req
273. Why do you keep that kid around?
Isn't it dangerous?
Copy !req
274. What if he ambushes you in your sleep or something?
Copy !req
275. Not to worry.
Copy !req
276. He'd rather die than do something like that.
Copy !req
277. How come?
Copy !req
278. Well, he's a warrior, for one thing.
Copy !req
279. He won't be satisfied unless he wins an honest, man-to-man duel.
Copy !req
280. He's bound by pride and his own past.
Copy !req
281. Not you again, Horda!
Copy !req
282. You're in everyone's way. Hurry up and clean it.
Copy !req
283. Your days as a noblewoman are long gone!
Copy !req
284. Stand up, you clumsy girl!
Copy !req
285. I don't know much about such things.
Copy !req
286. But if I had to live without pride,
I reckon I'd rather kill myself.
Copy !req
287. What's up? Did I say something funny?
Copy !req
288. I'm not laughing at you, boy.
Copy !req
289. Just look at him.
Copy !req
290. Oh, what a sight this is.
Copy !req
291. Don't forget, you're just a slave!
Copy !req
292. A man, slave to gold, holds a whip,
Copy !req
293. and he beats the slave he bought with that gold as if to claim he is the master.
Copy !req
294. He just doesn't see it for himself.
Copy !req
295. Every living human being is a slave to something.
Copy !req
296. You upset?
Copy !req
297. F-Father!
Copy !req
298. Aww, look at the little crybaby!
Copy !req
299. Are you angry, squirt?
Copy !req
300. Do you want to get revenge?
Copy !req
301. Well, you are my son.
Copy !req
302. If I told you not to seek revenge,
you wouldn't listen.
Copy !req
303. Oh dear.
Copy !req
304. How should I put this?
Copy !req
305. You'll have to find out for yourself.
Copy !req
306. I told you, right?
Copy !req
307. You don't have any enemies.
Copy !req
308. No one has any enemies.
Copy !req
309. A true warrior needs no sword.
Copy !req
310. Ah... Um, Lord Gorm told me
Copy !req
311. to bring you some food.
Copy !req
312. Hey, are you a thrall, too?
Copy !req
313. What?
Copy !req
314. I mean, you're eating out here.
Copy !req
315. I'm a warrior.
Copy !req
316. Unlike you, I can eat wherever I like.
Copy !req
317. Really?
Copy !req
318. I just thought we seemed similar.
Copy !req
319. I wouldn't know how a slave thinks.
Copy !req
320. If I were you, I'd kill Gorm and run.
And I'd kill any man who followed me.
Copy !req
321. How awful... I could never kill someone.
Copy !req
322. Then enjoy your life as a slave.
Copy !req
323. It's your choice.
Copy !req
324. If I ran...
Copy !req
325. If I ran as far as I could...
Copy !req
326. all the way across the sea...
Copy !req
327. what would I find there?
Copy !req
328. There's probably nothing there, right?
Copy !req
329. No matter how far I go, it'd be the same as here.
Copy !req
330. Just filled with wars and slave traders.
Copy !req
331. Far, far to the west,
Copy !req
332. across the sea,
Copy !req
333. there's a place called Vinland.
Copy !req
334. It's warm and fertile.
Copy !req
335. It's a faraway land free from slavery and the fires of war.
Copy !req
336. No one would be able to find you there.
Copy !req
337. Does such a place truly exist?
Copy !req
338. AUGUST 1013 AD
VICINITY OF JELLING, DENMARK
Copy !req
339. AUGUST 1013 AD
VICINITY OF JELLING, DENMARK
Copy !req
340. The finest warriors from clans all over Denmark are gathering.
Copy !req
341. In addition, four of our Jomsvikings brigades are hastening to join them.
Copy !req
342. Everything is proceeding as planned
Copy !req
343. for the upcoming campaign.
Copy !req
344. The time has finally come.
Copy !req
345. We must show those insolent English scoundrels
Copy !req
346. the power of the king.
Copy !req
347. Yes, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
348. We will fight without yield to achieve
your goal of capturing England.
Copy !req
349. Where's Canute?
Copy !req
350. He's here, right?
Copy !req
351. Yes.
Copy !req
352. His Highness has already arrived in Jelling.
Copy !req
353. He's resting to prepare to march.
Copy !req
354. Your Majesty. Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?
Copy !req
355. Lord Ragnar.
Copy !req
356. There's no need for Prince Canute to come along.
Copy !req
357. He's a potential heir to the throne.
Copy !req
358. He must display his valor on the battlefield
so that he doesn't lose to his brother, Harald.
Copy !req
359. His Highness lacks the experience needed on the battlefield.
Copy !req
360. Ragnar.
Copy !req
361. I, too, am concerned for Canute's safety.
Copy !req
362. We, however, are leaders of the Vikings.
Copy !req
363. If we don't demonstrate valor, the people will not follow us.
Copy !req
364. We shall sail tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
365. In August of 1013 AD,
Copy !req
366. the Danish Viking fleet, led by King Sweyn,
Copy !req
367. invaded the northern part of England, starting from the River Humber.
Copy !req
368. At Gainsborough, the five nearby towns quickly surrendered.
Copy !req
369. The main force marched south over land with great speed.
Copy !req
370. They overran the region as they continued their advance.
Copy !req
371. However, their steady advance came to a temporary halt...
Copy !req
372. at the trading town of London.
