The leader of the Celts watched as a group of soldiers placed some glass bottles in a distant area.
Einar, turning his head from him looked at the leader with a smile. "Take a good look because this will be fast."
Raising his right hand with his revolver, Einar turned his head and stared at the bottles that were a few feet away.
When he pulled the trigger, the first glass bottle was destroyed, by pulling the trigger the second time the second bottle ended up being destroyed.
Einar then lowered the weapon from him and looked at the leader of the Celts from the Kincora region. "I think I have proven that I can speak to the gods or do you need some other proof."
The leader shook his head. "You have shown that you have the power to speak to the gods. Now let's talk about the alliance with our nation."
The two went back into the house from which they had come as they had to speak in private, since the topics to be discussed could only be discussed in private.
When the two sat down, they stared at each other.
"Since you have proven that you can speak to the gods, let me ask you to marry my daughter."
Einar looked seriously at the leader and shook his head. "I'm sorry, but at the moment I think I'm not ready to remarry.
I don't think I have said it, but I lost my first wife because of the attack of the Christians on my nation, the loss of her hurts me to this day.
Starting a relationship right now is entirely possible, as I can't even spend time with my kids or my wives.
I could allow her to accompany me in the military and even for her to spend time with my family, but I will not remarry until I can avenge Kassia's memory.
Because I think it would be a lack of respect for her memory because I promised to avenge her name and force the cursed Emperor Ludovico to ask for forgiveness at her grave.
I hope you can understand that, my revenge will take approximately 5 years, if at that moment your daughter wants to get married and we know each other better, she could accept being her husband.
You have to know that I will take full responsibility in case I accepted her; I am a man who gives priority to her family over anything else.
But we can talk about the following terms, and there is no problem. "
The leader smiled and looked seriously at Einar. "You are a good husband, King Einar. I think it is very noble of you to try to avenge your wife and force the damned who hurt her to apologize to her.
I completely agree with your words. I only ask you to please take care of my daughter. She is a fairly free woman with her actions, but that worries me.
Because she can suffer for the decisions that she makes and what is she sometimes too reckless with what she does. "
Einar nodded and hit her chest. "I can promise I will take care of her. I won't let her fight in the front line, but she can fight only if she follows my rules."
The man crossed his arms approvingly and looked at Einar. "In order to formalize our alliance I would like to order food for my people.
Although we have enough food and the swamps provide us with a large quantity of food, it is not eternal and winter is dangerously approaching.
Perhaps in a few more weeks it begins to snow so it will be impossible to get food easily.
My army can help you, but it will not be placed on the front line to be assassinated in an idiotic way. "
Einar shook his head. "You don't have to worry about that. How do you know I have weapons completely superior to conventional weapons so I can easily defeat any enemy army in my way.
What I really need your army to do is help maintain order in the areas it conquered. Only they will have to do it under the supervision of my own people.
That is why if you have warriors who can respect the rules and behave with honor, I would like them to help me.
As for food, you do not have to worry about anything because, during the following weeks, a large quantity of fish will be entering the island in order to keep all the inhabitants fed.
I think it's a fair deal for both of us. "
The man showed a smile. "To start an alliance, I think it is a good idea. Now tell me what do you plan to do after the conquest of Ennis County?"
Einar told his plans and how he planned to conquer the island completely. After this, they continued talking for a while until it was dark.
So they all rested before starting the road to Ennis County in order to end the conquest of the kingdom of Thomond.
Einar, while lying on his bed thought about his family before he closed his eyes and go to sleep.
While he was dreaming, he could see fragments of what appeared to be a great battle, but unlike modern or ancient battles it was of a completely superior scale.
In it was a young man with golden hair, a woman with black hair and amber eyes, a young woman with golden hair and black eyes.
They all seemed to be on a completely different level.
It wasn't until he saw a huge black creature that was as big as a building that he came awake abruptly while holding its head.
'What a strange dream. It was a long time since I had a dream of this type, but now everything has to be prepared to leave.'
After getting up, Einar had breakfast and prepared his troops. When all was ready, the army left the Kincora barony for Ennis County.
The path through the swamp was fairly straightforward and went smoothly because of the support of the Celtic guides.
After two days, the army was able to cross the border without being seen by the Ennis County scouts.
Einar who was on his horse looked at the woman in front of him. She was a young redhead with freckles and green eyes; she was the same one who had taken her face when she first arrived.
"Dreide, I'm surprised you people know these roads so well."
Dreide turned his head and looked at Einar. "Those damn Christians, they always send people to our territory intending to conquer us.
But they have never thought that we know before when they plan to attack or advance. It is quite funny because we have them well guarded.
While they think that we are a group of savages just because we don't belong to the same religion. "
