The day was coming to an end, the major events had played out and Kattegat claimed victory in the first battle. But despite this, they could not help but feel they lost something greater.
King Askild and his men continued on their way to Vestfold, they were well-fed and energized so they could travel faster than when they were famished.
They marched forward to Vestfold but Jan did not follow them, he simply assigned his troops to King Askild as they swore that he was their leader until the war had concluded.
Jan spoke to Birger in private as Ragnar watched in suspicion but he heard his name being called, it was the voice of his brother.
"What is it, Ulf?" Ragnar asked and Ulf gestured for him to follow to which Ragnar complied, he had no reason not to trust his older brother as he was yet to betray him.
They went to a private corner and Ulf was ready to tell Ragnar why he brought him here.
