3. The Battle of London BridgeCopy !req
4. The Battle of London BridgeCopy !req
5. The Battle of London BridgeCopy !req
6. Is that supposed to be a bridge?Copy !req
7. Looks more like a fortress wall.Copy !req
8. I'd expect nothing less.Copy !req
9. London's held up against countless raids over the years.Copy !req
10. They're old hands at this.Copy !req
11. Now's not the time for idle contemplation, Askeladd.Copy !req
12. This'll be a tough nut to crack.Copy !req
13. I only came along on this one because you promised me an "easy win."Copy !req
14. Sorry, Bjorn.Copy !req
15. I never expected Thorkell himself to side with the defenders.Copy !req
16. Thorkell the Tall?Copy !req
17. How could that traitor sell us out for gold?Copy !req
18. Come now, we're all in it for the gold.Copy !req
19. I'm only with Denmark because I expect King Sweyn will be the victor.Copy !req
20. The others are thinking the same thing.Copy !req
21. Every tribe's desperate to ensure they get as large a share of the spoils as possible.Copy !req
22. Of course, with this many men,
there'll only be so much treasure to go around.Copy !req
23. I'm not in it for the money.Copy !req
24. I'm here for the killing.Copy !req
25. That's why I like you, Bjorn.Copy !req
26. Then again, I can see why the muckety-mucks want to get their hands on London.Copy !req
27. If we can capture the Thames River,
that'll give us a supply line right into Wessex.Copy !req
28. So this is a crucial battle to the bosses.Copy !req
29. Indeed. If you want to get a reputation,
this is the place to do it.Copy !req
30. Is that so?Copy !req
31. Got any clever plots up your sleeve?Copy !req
32. Well,Copy !req
33. no plots as such, but there is something.Copy !req
34. Thorfinn!Copy !req
35. Time to go to work.Copy !req
36. Get me Thorkell's head.Copy !req
37. Promise me a reward.Copy !req
38. Okay. Okay.Copy !req
39. Let me guess, the usual?
I thought you'd learned by now.Copy !req
40. A fight you can't win becomes an obsession.Copy !req
41. I guess that makes you just like your old man.Copy !req
42. Don't forget, Askeladd.Copy !req
43. My only wish is to destroy you,
as a warrior, in a proper duel.Copy !req
44. The next duel will be your last.Copy !req
45. I'll carve out your heart and offer it up to my father's spirit.Copy !req
46. Then get to work.Copy !req
47. Only those who do their jobs on the battlefield get the rewards they desire.Copy !req
48. That's the life of a warrior.Copy !req
49. My head won't come cheap, boy.Copy !req
50. I'll give you that duel, and anything else you want.Copy !req
51. Just go bring me Thorkell's head.Copy !req
52. In order to survive, it's sink or swimCopy !req

136. Hey!Copy !req
137. Askeladd!Copy !req
138. What?Copy !req
139. One ship is heading towards the bridge.Copy !req
140. It's the Jomsvikings! The Sea Deer!Copy !req
141. An envoy, eh?Copy !req
142. That'll be Floki.Copy !req
143. Probably thinks he can buy off Thorkell by offering twice London's price.Copy !req
144. Thorkell will follow the money.Copy !req
145. Apparently, he can be bought.Copy !req
146. I expect it'll work.Copy !req
147. You think? I wonder.Copy !req
148. They're here!Copy !req
149. It's just one ship!Copy !req
150. This way! Hurry!Copy !req
151. Kill 'em all!Copy !req
152. Take that!Copy !req
153. Loose arrows!Copy !req
154. Don't shoot! I am an envoy!Copy !req
155. I wish to speak to Thorkell!Copy !req
156. Shit-bags!Copy !req
157. Drop dead!Copy !req
158. We didn't come here to fight!Copy !req
159. Where might I find Thorkell?Copy !req
160. Piss off! Bite the dust!Copy !req
161. Hey.Copy !req
162. Stop.Copy !req
163. Yes, sir.Copy !req
164. All men, cease fire!Copy !req
165. Ahoy, Floki! It's been a long time!Copy !req
166. You look like you've been doing well.Copy !req
167. Enough with the pleasantries.Copy !req
168. My liege, King Sweyn, has sent
me to deliver his words!Copy !req
169. In the words of His Majesty:Copy !req
170. "The King of England has escaped to the land of the Franks.Copy !req
171. Resistance is futile.Copy !req
172. Surrender.Copy !req
173. If you surrender, then in the name of Thor,Copy !req
174. I will guarantee you and your men your lives and belongings."Copy !req
175. Return to the fold, Thorkell!Copy !req
176. Those are the wishes of His Majesty.Copy !req
177. King Sweyn is here?Copy !req
178. I'm impressed! To travel so far at such an old age.Copy !req
179. Thorkell!Copy !req
180. Why do you choose to turn your sword on your own countrymen?Copy !req
181. Think of the months and years we spent as comrades,
fighting and sailing for the same side!Copy !req
182. Do not find yourself on the wrong side of history, my friend!Copy !req
183. Your brother Sigvaldi is concerned for you, as well.Copy !req
184. Wrong side of history?Copy !req
185. I see.Copy !req
186. I fought these Englishmen up until last year,
so I know what they're worth.Copy !req
187. They're a shockingly weak lot.Copy !req
188. They're a bunch of sheltered city boys.Copy !req
189. What?Copy !req
190. Is that Nordic?Copy !req
191. They lack spirit.Copy !req
192. I guess so.Copy !req
193. The only man who could go toe-to-toe with the likes of you was Prince Edmund.Copy !req
194. This kingdom is a lost cause.Copy !req
195. Oh, in that case...Copy !req
196. What I'm saying is...Copy !req
197. it's much more fun to fight against you.Copy !req
198. What?Copy !req
199. All right, enough chit-chat!Copy !req
200. Let's get back to business!Copy !req
201. Wait, Thorkell!Copy !req
202. I promise you double what England's giving you!Copy !req
203. You ready, Floki?Copy !req
204. E-Evade! Hard larboard, you fools!Copy !req
205. Time for the deadly Keel-Buster!Copy !req
206. Ah, drat. Just missed!Copy !req
207. Full speed!Copy !req
208. Withdraw!Copy !req
209. Men. Kill them.Copy !req
210. Yes, sir!Copy !req
211. Retreat! Retreat!Copy !req
212. Hey, Floki!Copy !req
213. Go and ask King Sweyn something for me!Copy !req
214. "Doesn't it ever get boring always being on the winning side?"Copy !req
215. He showed no signs of being swayed by our offer.Copy !req
216. I see.Copy !req
217. It was a waste of time.Copy !req
218. Then, Majesty, what shall we do?Copy !req
219. Resume the siege.Copy !req
220. H-Hey!Copy !req
221. Shit!Copy !req
222. All right!Copy !req
223. Damn! They're attacking the pier!Copy !req
224. You bastard!Copy !req
225. Quickly!Copy !req
226. Fuck!Copy !req
227. Goddammit! I missed!Copy !req
228. Get more rocks!Copy !req
229. Out of my way, you louts.Copy !req
230. Holy...Copy !req
231. Here we go!Copy !req
232. How'd you like that? That was my special...Copy !req
233. er... Log-Dropper!Copy !req
234. A little on-the-nose.Copy !req
235. But amazing!Copy !req
236. Bring in the next.Copy !req
237. Hurry up!Copy !req
238. Yes, sir!Copy !req
239. What's wrong, Sweynsmen?Copy !req
240. Can't you use your heads a little?Copy !req
241. I know you can do better than this!Copy !req
242. At this rate, it'll be a hundred years before London bridge comes falling d—Copy !req
243. Huh?Copy !req
244. Finally, someone who looks like a bit of fun!Copy !req
245. Thorfinn, can you hear me?Copy !req
246. The great big idiot holding the log!Copy !req
247. That's Thorkell!Copy !req
248. It's no use! Lie to!Copy !req
249. Any closer, and we'll suffer!Copy !req
250. Larboard!Copy !req
251. Just a little further.Copy !req
252. All right, close enough!Copy !req
253. Jump!Copy !req
254. Stay back, men!Copy !req
255. If he's foolish enough to charge me...Copy !req
256. I'll take him down!Copy !req
257. Yeah!Copy !req
258. You nimble little shit.Copy !req
259. Come on!Copy !req
260. Not bad,Copy !req
261. young one.Copy !req
262. Keep your paws off this one, you louts.Copy !req
263. I'll give this little suicidal freak the death wish he's looking for.Copy !req
264. This is a man-to-man fight!Copy !req
265. Show me what you've got, shrimp!Copy !req
266. A one-on-one duel, bare-handed?Copy !req
267. He's not taking me seriously.Copy !req
268. Oh, you were after my wrist, eh?Copy !req
269. Not bad, little one!Copy !req
270. It's no wonder he's so cocky.Copy !req
271. With a body and fists as big as his,
one solid blow would kill me.Copy !req
272. I like you!Copy !req
273. Uncle Thorkell's gonna make this worth your while!Copy !req
274. What?Copy !req
275. Take that!Copy !req
276. Whoa.Copy !req
277. That was a close one.Copy !req
278. I can't reach him.Copy !req
279. His vital points are too high.Copy !req
280. Under his arms,Copy !req
281. his neck...Copy !req
282. That's it!Copy !req
283. He's coming in low.Copy !req
284. Then...Copy !req
285. I'll kick him.Copy !req
286. Get in there!Copy !req
287. That hurts like hell!Copy !req
288. I've got you now, though!Copy !req
289. Got 'im!Copy !req
290. Thatta boy, captain!Copy !req
291. Kill him!Copy !req
292. I'm not done yet!Copy !req
293. Here we go!Copy !req
294. Oh dear.Copy !req
295. This won't work.Copy !req
296. Thorfinn's getting his arse handed to him.Copy !req
297. Guess it was too much for him.Copy !req
298. Askeladd.Copy !req
299. That's the signal.Copy !req
300. Right. Well, let's go, then.Copy !req
301. Retreat!Copy !req
302. All ships withdraw!Copy !req
303. What? Oh, drat.Copy !req
304. I take just a few seconds to enjoy a fight with the runt, and the whole battle's over.Copy !req
305. Hey, kid.Copy !req
306. Looks like they've left you for dead.Copy !req
307. Poor thing.Copy !req
308. You put up such a good fight, too.Copy !req
309. What? Are you dead?Copy !req
310. Hey.Copy !req
311. Yoo-hoo, anyone there?Copy !req
312. You still haven't lost the will to fight?Copy !req
313. Quite impressive for such a scrappy little fellow.Copy !req
314. Warrior.Copy !req
315. I would like to hear your name.Copy !req
316. Thorfinn.Copy !req
317. Son of Thors.Copy !req
318. I'm Thorfinn.Copy !req
319. Thors?Copy !req
320. Hey! When you say Thors, do you mean...Copy !req
321. Oh, there he goes.Copy !req
322. What's the call, captain?Copy !req
323. Shall we shoot him?Copy !req
324. Let him go.Copy !req
325. He can live another day.Copy !req
326. Hey!Copy !req
327. Warrior Thorfinn!Copy !req
328. I enjoyed our battle!Copy !req
329. We should do it again!Copy !req
330. We'll finish it for good next time!Copy !req
331. That's a promise, you hear?Copy !req
332. It hurts!Copy !req
333. Put me out of my misery!Copy !req
334. Anyone want a merciful end?Copy !req
335. I'll make it quick!Copy !req
336. Nope, he's a goner.Copy !req
337. He's been stabbed in the gut.Copy !req
338. He won't last long.Copy !req
339. Hey, bring some onion soup over here!Copy !req
340. Torgrim!Copy !req
341. Take care of this, will you?Copy !req
342. I see.Copy !req
343. So, we can't capture London.Copy !req
344. No.Copy !req
345. It's not that we can't capture London.Copy !req
346. It will just take some time.Copy !req
347. How much time, Floki?Copy !req
348. Well, it depends on their stockpile within the city, but...Copy !req
349. A year.Copy !req
350. No. If the siege goes well, six months.Copy !req
351. It is already autumn.Copy !req
352. We cannot dedicate so much time to a single town.Copy !req
353. The war is our ultimate concern.Copy !req
354. We must prioritize control of the entirety of England.Copy !req
355. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
356. Send the main force west.Copy !req
357. Leave four thousand men to
continue the siege on London.Copy !req
358. As you command, Your Majesty.Copy !req
359. The four thousand men will be under the command of...Copy !req
360. Canute.Copy !req
361. This is a good chance to boost his standing.Copy !req
362. What?Copy !req
363. Th-That's not what we agreed upon.Copy !req
364. His Highness came to serve as a good example for the people.Copy !req
365. That's what you said!Copy !req
366. Hold your tongue, Lord Ragnar.Copy !req
367. His Majesty has spoken.Copy !req
368. If our entire force could not defeat that infernal Thorkell,Copy !req
369. how are we to succeed with one-fifth the strength?Copy !req
370. It's impossible!Copy !req
371. Having so few men is the only way to help him.Copy !req
372. B-But...Copy !req
373. His Highness is unfamiliar with battle
and is experiencing emotional distress.Copy !req
374. This is your responsibility, Ragnar.Copy !req
375. Perhaps it is because of his Christian upbringing,Copy !req
376. but he has grown too soft for a man of his station.Copy !req
377. It is because you spoiled him.Copy !req
378. I apologize.Copy !req
379. To Canute, I shall leave the soldiers laying siege to London.Copy !req
380. You shall accompany him. Advise him well.Copy !req
381. Your Highness...Copy !req
382. My shoulder's dislocated.Copy !req
383. Right ankle's sprained.Copy !req
384. Got a few ribs broken, too.Copy !req
385. Fuck!Copy !req
386. That insane, giant bastard!Copy !req
387. Hey. Can you see them?Copy !req
388. Most of them have retreated.Copy !req
389. What?Copy !req
390. Does that mean...Copy !req
391. Did we... win?Copy !req
392. We won?Copy !req
393. They ran away with their tails between their legs?Copy !req
394. Then we have won.Copy !req
395. Wait.Copy !req
396. What's going on?Copy !req
397. We did it! We won!Copy !req
398. What?Copy !req
399. We won!Copy !req
400. Hey, hey!Copy !req
401. Wait!Copy !req
402. Let's fight some more!Copy !req
403. Come on, just a little longer!Copy !req
404. Hey!Copy !req
405. You sons of bitches!Copy !req
406. Don't you want London?Copy !req
407. Come back, you miserable cowards!Copy !req
408. Fight me!Copy !req
409. Oh, what a pain.Copy !req
410. That Thorkell's a freak.Copy !req
411. What's this? You're still alive?Copy !req
412. My, you don't look so good.Copy !req
413. Guess he was just out of your league, Thorfinn.Copy !req
414. Anyway, we're off to Wessex.
What will you do?Copy !req
415. If you can't keep up with the march,
we'll just leave you here.Copy !req
416. We're going to get rich in Wessex!Copy !req
417. I can't wait!Copy !req
418. You only got one arm!Copy !req
419. I can handle anyone.Copy !req
420. I'll kill them all.Copy !req
421. I enjoyed our battle!Copy !req
422. We should do it again!Copy !req
423. Fucking madmen.Copy !req
424. What's so fun about war?Copy !req
