Viking Dragon
“"Sigtrygg, extend to the right. Spears!" The two ranks behind us pressed closer to us and their spears were jabbed over our heads. We all had a spear in the front rank. The main purpose of the double row of spears was to slow down their advance. We all had our swords in the earth just behind us. They would be the weapons we used to kill. We would be able to draw them easier from the ground than from a scabbard.
I did not recognise the Danes, just their helmets, armour and battle rings. T...here were many such mercenaries. They were happy to fight for anyone so long as they were paid. The Danish mail was as long as ours but I saw that some did not have sleeves. The front ten all wielded long two handed axes. My Ulfheonar knew how to deal with them but some of the newer warriors might not. Our front rank was composed of our best warriors. My jarls all stood with their oathsworn. We would have to withstand the hammer that would be the Danish attack.
