The night was coming to an end and the Viking had taken heavy casualties and with Ragnar in their possession, the enemies held the upper hand.
Tyr was smart to retreat as reinforcement soon returned but what they saw horrified them.
Tyr had decapitated each of their soldiers and kept their heads mounted on a spike with their tongues placed on the top of their heads.
This was a gruesome message and the enemies searched the area but Tyr and his men were nowhere to be seen.
Tyr had absconded but they left their boats vulnerable and the Christians had every intention of making sure that the Vikings never got back home.
They placed warriors at the border with the boats of the Vikings all destroyed, this was a good move on their part.
They knew invading a new land would be difficult but they could never have anticipated this level of difficulty.
