It is the Year 454 and at the island of England the castle of King Haystram the Fifth lies in siege by a norse horde, the vikings and norsemen of the northern landso Europe have banded together beneath the banner of a single warlord from the land of Sweden, a country recently named by said Warlord, he has conquered Norway, western Russia, Germany, France, Spain, Pole, Denmark and other countries and minor kingdoms over the lands. Now he has put his eyes on the two pearls of the European ocean the kingdom of England and the Ireland isle.
The England kingdom is a broken net of minor kingdoms ruling their own lands, no real supreme leader has taken the throne of England, or Ireland for that matter. And now with the invasion of the Norse Warlord Niklas den Röde or Nick the Red as he's callen, has taken the northern shores of England. Now they are taking siege of the kingdom of Dunham, where King Haystram rules, also known as the King of Hearts as he loves his wife so muc hhe buys her heart shaped jewlery and heart decorated dresses.
The knights of the King are struggling beeath the skillful tactics of the norsemen, they are no strangers to siege battles, as most of them are vikings they have fought agaisnt both towns and castles alike. And the Norse Warlord Nick is a tactical genius when it comes to sieging castles. The greatest pride of the english kings and their knights has become their downfall. Stones soaked in alcohol or oil are put on fire and then fired by the catapults into the wooden gates of the castle, putting them on fire, they then put big oiled leather bags into the catapults and fire them at the towers, they are filled with non flamable oils that makes the knights metal boots slip on the hard stone of their walls and then they fire water barrels to put out the burning lead in the cauldrons.
Soon a battering ram of iron, protected by a roof of wood and leather, is rolled forward an the norsemen slam into the burning gate which soon gives away and then ontop of a large black norse horse comes Niklas den Röde riding in the front, a large axe in hand along with a round wooden shield, raising his axe he cleaved through the captain of the soldiers and howled out. "FÖR NORDENS IMPERIUM!!! LÅT OSS BRINGA FRAM BLOOD OCH ÅSKA!!!!" He then spoke in english as he trampled down the stunned soldiers. "BLOOD AND THUNDER!!! FOR THE EMPIRE OF THE NORTH!!!"
Then the royal guard and the King himself came out, the royal guards charged first but were taken down by the norsemen and their Warlord, then the King bravely held up both his blades and shouted at the Warlord. "I CHALLENGE YOU NICK THE RED!!! TO A DUEL TO THE DEATH!!! IF I WIN YOUR ILK SHALL LEAVE MY LANDS!!! IF YOU WIN MY LANDS AND MOST PRECIOUS POSESSIONS ARE YOURS TO CLAIM!!!" Smirking the red bearded warlord got off his large war horse and moved towards the king, shield and axe in hand.
"Interesting proposal King, but it seems it is a bit unfair to you as you are giving me both your land and your ost precious possessions, including your Queen." The royal man was about to protest when the norseman wagged a finger. "No no my dear King you clearly stated that if I win I shall have your lands and your most precious posessions, this I believe, includes your Queen, who the people of the lands I've claimed stated is your most Precious Treasure, am I not right?"
Turning red in anger King Haystram kept his teeth clenched before getting into a battle stance and leaped at the Warlord. "YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH HER YOU BARBARIAN!!!" The warlord smirked and blocked the strikes with his shield and axe and spoke as he did. "I will do much more then that King" He then turned serious and glared at the king as he splittered his swords with one striek of his axe and growled. "And I am no Barbarian, I AM THE WARLORD WHO SHALL BECOME THE EMPEROR OF EUROPE!!!" The king gaspe out blood as the axe cleaved him in two at the waist, sending his dead body to the ground, his feet soon following.
Laughing at the shocked face of his defeated foe Nick hunched down and too kthe crown which he threw to one of his men. "Melt it into a golden skull ring, this makes the thirty first one, thirty one kings' crowns melted into skulls for my beard and hair." The man blinked as he didn't understand english and Nick sighed and spoke up in Swedish. "Smält kronan till en döskalle ring för mitt hår och skägg." Nodding the young norseman moved towards the forge, the soldiers, kngihts and peasants surrendered to the Norsemen and the Warlord soon moved, a new skull ring in his beard, to the castle where his price from the duel woulde be.
