The morning came but cregan was already up looking up to the sky. The sun barely touch the trees with it rays of light. The camp slowly started to wake. You can see the frost on the trees, grass and tents.
After some time everyone was ready but cregan left some men behind to watch over the prisoners. Before he left he offered the prisoners an opportunity to join him or stay prisoner till the war is over.
Over 200 men join while the rest stayed in wooden cages tied up. Cregan left behind to watch over our wounded. As they travelled through the dirt road south, cregan sent out scouts to see where Olaf was.
The scouts reported back not long after they were sent out. King Olaf was at the opposite side of the river and his ships are faring men to our side.
The jarls heard this and look towards their king for an answer. It was quite for a couple seconds, no one spoke and waited for the kings command.
"Will cut them off. We can take them by surprise."
"That's if those men that cross the river made it to king Olaf."
"Aye that's if they made it to them. It's a risk." As cregan looks around his jarls. "Have a better plan."
The jarls looked around each other and shook their head no.
"Ok, we move out and catch them off guard."
Everyone one nodded and order everyone to move forward.
Cregan knew this is it. They have taken one army down, now on to the last even though they know they are outnumbered.
As the army move forward to death or victory but the moral of the soldiers are high. As they won the first battle. King Olaf probably knows by now of what happen to king Hugo army.
After walking south for a couple more hours they came upon it after passing through a thick part of the forest.
Ships faring men across the river and a significant portion of Olaf army was cross the river. No lookouts nor warning of any kind as we approached them from the tree line.
From the I can see maybe more then half are across the river. Sigurd cavalry found a open area where he can charge right into Olaf make shift camp.
Then it happened a horn blast cut through the forest. Not just in me horn blast but multiple came from the trees.
Tyr heard the horn blast and order the ships to charge, as he was waiting looking at the ships faring men across the river.
He waited but waiting was over and he also blow his horn.
Olafs men on the ships and in the camp looked around frantically trying to find where the hot blast came from. Till they seen it men marching out the forest and charging towards them. Carrying the wolfs banner.
War cry's can be heard as the stark men clashed with olafs army.
Olaf seeing his men getting attack he order everyone to get across the river fast and aid his men. As Olaf was in the river on his ship watching his men get slaughtered on land. His flag ship moved and landed on the bank.
As he land he sees ships coming down the river fast and his own jarl took charge of the fleet and headed to deal with jarl tyr.
As the battle raged on another horn blast sounded and it came from the south.
Sigurd cavalry can be seen hitting Olaf army from the back. Hammer and anvil. Pulling back the cavalry and charging in again. It was a cycle but some cavalry will get caught and not make it out.
As the battle intensified in the front cregan can be seen cutting through the men. His movements are swift and fast. It was unnatural.
Olaf seeing this quickly cut down the man infront of him and charged at cregan with his personal bodyguards. Cregan seeing this smiled and met Olaf with his men in the middle.
A battle ensued between both kings. Both trying to find each other weaknesses on each other. As you see Olaf wasn't alone as he brought his heir with him on this campaign against the wolves.
Olaf would get distracted in the fight with cregan to watch his son but it was useless. As he joined with his father to fight cregan.
Cregan was fighting a 2v1 and he was losing ground. Being pushed back or getting a cut on his shoulder or on his body.
Olaf heir was getting over confident as he seen cregan taking some hits and stepping back. As Olaf watched his son overextend his reach he slipped on the muddy ground.
Olaf sees cregan sword slowly goes down and hit his son neck and down to his sons hip. As blood began to pour out of his son. Olaf screams in rage and sorrow of his sons death and attack wildly on cregan.
Cregan deflected Olafs attack again and again not hitting cregan as he moves around Olaf quite a bit. Till Olaf leaves an opening which cregan exploited it and struck.
He cut Olaf forearm and blood started to soak through his armour. Olaf personal guards seen their king hurt they attack cregan to bring their king to safety.
Cregan didn't let that happened as he cut down three of Olaf guards and made his way towards him.
Olaf seeing a bloody figure walking towards him he started to back up but the men around him were making it difficult. Everyone was pushing everybody. Men trampling each other. Olaf was looking around for any exit he can see.
Then he felt it something entering his body. He looked down and sees a sword sticking out of his chest. He feeling it slowly going in his body. A horse screamed escape his lips before falling to the ground in a thud.
No life was seen in his eye again. Only thing Olaf sees is the mudd and blood soaking the ground. As he took his finally breath cregan beheaded the head and raised it up in the air and roared.
A severed head in one hand and his sword in the other. Everyone on a battlefield stopped and looked. Their kings head lifted in the air and Olaf army began to crumble. Men running in the river to the other side to get away while other drop their weapons and surrendered to live another day.
