A difficult decision for the Irish coalition

The kings and priests, seeing the deplorable state of the army, decided to withdraw, knowing that they had lost.

With the sound of some horns, the coalition army, which was in chaos, ran away from that castle, leaving its weapons and its wounded.

All of them all they wanted was to be able to free themselves from that place because they were afraid of the strange magic that the Norse were using.

They may all have been excellent warriors, yet they already had an irrational fear of the Norse army in their minds.

For them, the Nordics apart from being a group of pagans had true magic which had left them marked for life.

In the evacuation, many warriors and peasants died because of the stamps of people who passed over them, not to mention that the wounded also ended up being killed by their own companions.

Ansgar who was watching everything from the walls only sighed and ordered his soldiers to be ready and on alert in case they returned.
