28 Chapter 27

Lagertha recruited two women to be shield maiden one was Þórunn is a former servant,another was Astrid is part of court at Hedeby ,both of them

where trained in arts of war, and both were now her trusted Shield Maidens.

Lagertha had seen them eyeing Thor for some time.She knew Gods sometimes had multiple women as wives and she herself found women attractive.All of them came pretty close to sleeping together after drunk night celebrating Gyda name day.

[A/N:Before anyone rage about Lagertha being bisexual,it is really true in the show.She had a relationship with Astrid for while.]

Thor was now looking at the report about King Horik and Jarl Borg,Ragnar because of the fight excluded Thor and company from the raids.Thor didn't mind it one bit,after all this territory was going day by day and his people where happy with their rule.Many already recognized them as gods.

It seemed Jarl Borg had travels to Kattegat, eager to raid together with the others. But King Horik, however, still found himself unable to trust him, so he has Ragnar exclude him from their plans. Jarl Borg was infuriated when he finds out that Ragnar and Horik have decided to break their agreement.

Thor sighed and muttered"Jarl Borg won't let this go."

Lagertha,Hemidal and Loki where sitting next to him,they knew sooner or a latter Kattegat will me attacked.

Hemidal spoke up"Jarl Borg has married to his new wife Torvi. At a feast, he told his people that,they will attack Kattegat in revenge for Ragnar breaking their agreement of raiding together."

Loki hummed and muttered"Jarl Borg is smart as Kattegat is now left undefended.Ragnar made a amateur mistake for someone who called himself smart strategist."

Thor agreed and said"Send some of our men to protect the people of Kattegat,I don't want to do everything for Ragnar after all he made the mess.But we can't let all of the villagers die because of this."

Lagertha nodded understanding were Thor is coming from,after all Ragnar doesn't like to indebted his ego won't allow it.Also saving the people their is best thing to do for now,they can capture Jarl Borg whenever they want.

Heimdall added"Rollo seems have a changed a bit,he seems to have taken your words seriously my lord.He seems to want to move away from Kattegat and join your Warband,but a woman Siggy is stopping him from doing anything.He even refused Borg attempt to take revenge on his brother."

Rollo is known for being a fearsome warrior with an axe and an impulsive streak who is wrought with internal struggles.He strongly believes in his Gods, especially Thor and that bad things happen to him because the Gods are punishing him. Rollo is a very strong, ferocious warrior and a bloodthirsty conqueror who never backs down from a fight that even in a wounded state, Rollo's power and skill as a warrior is fearsome.Thor was really thinking of giving him a place in his Warband.

Thor crossed his arms together and said"It seems there is hope for him."then looking at Hemidall asked"What about King Horik and Ragnar?"

Thor knew Horik had dark side was more prominent than the good. Horik was a deceiver, authoritarian and ruthless face.Loki being trickster himself was able recognize what the guy was doing,Loki was sure Horik would kill Ragnar when their agreement is over after all Horik knows how smart and ambitious Ragnar is,so the chances of Horik betraying Ragnar is huge.

Heimdall replied"Both have issues with each other and their forces were ambushed by soldiers belonging to King Ecgberht. Ari rhe youngest son of Horik was the first casualty, struck in the chest by an arrow."

Thor was thoughtful"Let's hope Horik won't die at the hands of Ragnar or Rollo."
