The war drums were beating, the flags were flying, the swords and halberds were intertwined, and corpses were everywhere. The King of the East Frank, Henry, lured the King of Denmark into a trap and divided them and surrounded them. However, the strength of the Vikings was not completely weakened. The men who had been fighting against the harsh Nordic environment since they were born, the environment created their tenacious character. Even in the harsh environment, they were not discouraged. Instead, they aroused their survival or death. The Vikings surrounded by the Saxons often shouted Odin or Thor's name, and they sacrificed their lives to fight until they fell to the ground.

"Terrible fight, my father." Prince Otto frowned. He did not like this kind of unnecessary casualties. In his opinion, Arod was more wise to use tools and would not damage a lot of manpower. Prince Otto was not worried about kindness, but that these recruits were farmers. Farmers with too many casualties would put pressure on the kingdom's economy, but his father, Henry, King of East Frank, was thinking about another thing.

"My son, this is what I did for you," King Henry of the East Frank said to his heir, Prince Otto, pointing to the sacrificed conscripts, and then preaching to Prince Otto, "As a king, we sometimes have to make painful choices, but it is all for the kingdom, for God, keeping this in mind, remembering those who sacrificed."

"Yes, my father." Prince Otto nodded, and he turned his eyes to this cruel battlefield again, but his mentality had changed. At this time, he was looking at the war as a king.

"Very good, let the knights join the battle now." Seeing the change in his son's eyes, King Henry raised his right hand with pleasure, and he ordered his knights.

"God's will, God's will~~~~." The gathered Saxon knights raised their spears in their hands, shouted religious slogans loudly, and inspired morale. These Saxon knights accompanied King Henry's battles, and died bravely and fearlessly. They wore chain mail and zithered robes with royal heralds, and kicked the horses under their crotch with gilded spurs on their heels. One hundred heavily armored knights acted at the same time. The horse's hooves stepped on the earth and made a thunderous sound.

"The King is in action." Earl Plaun licked his dry lips, and his blood boiled and burned him. The young Count felt hungry, but according to the decree of the vassals, when the Duke of Ebul did not give the order, he could only hold his troops.

"This is a show." Arod smiled. He didn't care whether Count Plaun understood it or not. This was a performance by the King of East Frank to the Duke of Prince Otto, as well as the dukes and nobles of the Principal of Mason. Therefore, the protagonist of this performance was the king, and the stage could not accommodate other people.

"Ah~~~." The sticky blood on the battle axe of Danish King Banuk was everywhere. There was a melee everywhere in his eyes. He looked up at the sky. The sky that once seemed to be favored by the gods also became gray. The sound of weapons colliding and fighting in his ears. At this moment, he felt the earth under his feet begin to tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty is not good, the enemy's heavy cavalry has been dispatched." Kraze strode to Danish King Banuk. He knew that the infantry of the southerners might be vulnerable, but when these southerners rode on horses, it was very difficult to deal with. More than a hundred knights attacked them from the hillside.

"Let the raid cavalry be dispatched and be sure to stop them." Danish king Banuk also knew that the knights could not be allowed to rush over. The Viking warriors divided across the battlefield could not form a shield formation that could resist the knight's charge. At this time, a cavalry must be resisted, but deep down Banuk knew that the raid cavalry could not resist the heavy cavalry at all.

"But so chaotic, I don't know where to go to find the raid cavalry." Claze looked up and saw the smoke and dust of war everywhere, and there were figures of fighting everywhere. It was impossible to find traces of the raid cavalry here.

"Knight charge~~~." When the Saxon knights were driving the war horses under their crotch, they could find the Viking warriors scattered around the battlefield without any deliberate search. As soon as they saw a squad of Viking warriors, the knights drove the war horses and charged forward, holding the spears in their hands tightly and stretching straight forward. The roar of the war horses treading the ground was enough to scare any enemy who was blocking them.

"Ah~~~." The Viking warriors who were trying to form a shield formation were overturned by the spear of the Saxon Knights, and their horses stomped their bones. The violent war horses broke through the shield formation, just like a surging sea breaking through all obstacles that blocked them. The knights kept rushing to the corner of the battlefield where there were Viking warriors. The Viking warriors who were lured and separated were as fragile as babies in front of this powerful force.

"Look, the Vikings are defeated." Earl Plaunn looked at the Vikings who were dispersed by the knights and patted his saddle excitedly, as if he had won a big victory. Cheers burst out in the camp of the East Franks on the hillside, and under the command of Henry, the East Frank king, everything was settled.

In front of the powerful power of the Saxon Knights, more than 2,000 Viking warriors were defeated, and most of the Viking warriors fled back to Shileyi Sulgburg. However, many Viking warriors were captured by the Saxons, including the Danish king Banuk. He was chased by the Saxon Knights when he was retreating, but he stepped into the swamp in panic. Instead, he was rescued by the Saxons. In order to save him, he had to report his name. Fortunately, the exquisite armor on Banuk made the Saxons believe it.

"Woo, wu~~~~." The trombonist raised the trombon in his hand. The sound of the trombon echoed outside the king's tent. The nobles stood in two rows in the tent. King Henry of the East Frank and Prince Otto, his heir, were waiting for King Banuk of Denmark. Two Saxon knights grabbed Banuk of the arm and took him into the tent. The Danish king was in a mess at this time. His helmet had long been thrown to the place. The iron scale armor on his body was also dropped in many places. His legs were covered with black mud. Even the neatly-tight braids that were usually taken care of were messy. It can be said that they had no king's style.

"Are you sure this is the King of the Danes?" King Henry asked with a frown when he looked at Banuk in front of him.

"There are people in my army who know the King of Denmark. Please allow me to summon her." Arod stood up and bowed to King Henry, and reported to him.

"Okay." King Henry nodded and allowed Arod to summon Grace to the tent. As soon as Grace walked into the tent, he immediately recognized Banuk.

"That's right, this is the Danish king Banuk." Grace said to the king and nobles in the tent, and Banuk looked at Grace in surprise. He did not expect that Grace was still alive and defected to the Masons, and he immediately became angry.

"Damn Grace, may the gods curse you so that your soul cannot reach the temple of God Odin." Banuk, who was furious and thunderous, cursed in anger. The Saxon Knights beside him thought he was going to resist, and immediately pulled out the sword in his hand and knocked his back with the hilt of the sword. The pain forced Banuk to kneel on one knee. He gasped and raised his head hard.

"His Majesty, we should execute this abominable pagan," Duke Eble suggested to King Henry.

"Hang him."

"No, let's use stolen. There is nothing more suitable to deal with pagans than stolen." The nobles all came up with their ideas, with gloating expressions on their faces. Among them, the Mason nobles worked the most. After all, they suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Danish King Banuk.

"No, if he was the king, then the king could not kill the king." But Henry, the King of East Frank, shook his head and said to the nobles in the tent.

"Your Majesty, this is a pagan, and the pagan king is not blessed." A bishop of the Principal of Saxony expressed different suggestions. In the eyes of Catholics, there is no difference between pagan kings and pagans.

"No, I'm going to let him go." King Henry seemed to feel that his speech was not surprising enough. He pointed his finger at the Danish king Banuk who was kneeling down and ordered this. After hearing his words, the nobles in the tent looked at each other, and even Aroud did not expect Henry to make such a decision.

"You will regret making such a decision. I will return to the island of Zeland to gather the warriors to fight you again." But the released Danish king Banuk was not grateful. He swore to the East Frank nobles in the tent.

"Damn beast." After hearing the threat of Banuk who was translated, the East Frank nobles were angry. They drew their swords one after another and wanted to kill Banukuk, the King of Danish. Perhaps this was the proud Banukuk who said so in order to anger the crowd.

"Stop, Danish king, I will release you and leave. If you want to fight again, I will accompany you." King Henry raised his hand to stop the nobles from acting. He said to Danish King Banuk without fear.

"In order to repay the threat you just threatened my people, I want to tell you one thing, your Zeland island is being attacked by my fleet and soldiers at this time, and may have fallen into my hands, so if you want to fight again, you may need to change to a further place." Arod said to Danish King Banuk.

"What?" Danish king Banuk was stunned on the spot. He thought something was wrong with his ears, but looking at Arod's eyes, he knew that this was the real thing. He originally thought Arod had no spare energy at all, so he did not take much precautions for the islands of the sea. It can be said that his nest is empty. If it is attacked, he can only be slaughtered. However, no matter what, Banuk cannot figure out that Arod has another army from there.
