Kapitel 33: Martial Arts

Gisli was amazed to see the plan of the fortress that Einar had drawn.

"This fortress is very different from a speck, but it is very similar to the one that will be built in the town.

Einar, this wall design is either knowledge of the ice giant Hrimthur or is it something more related to Odin. "

Max, who had his arm embraced by Kassia, smiled. "This knowledge belongs to our Midgard; it's just that Odin's knowledge transcends time.

Our humanity will eventually come to this result, but with me, it is easy to fast forward a few hundred years. "

Gisli felt a pat on her shoulder and noticed Einar's face would be, "In the end, our children will have a better life than us, and our grandchildren will live in a land that will be envied by all.

Rome will pale before us, and the title of Miklagard will belong to us.

I will create an empire where the sun never stops shining, and Christians, together with Muslims, will have to learn our language if they want to trade.

The time of the Norse has come and with it the end of the Viking age. "

Gisli tapped the wood on the table, "You mean the time of robbing Christians is over? That's not bad for our people."

Max shook his finger. "I never said that the robberies of Christians would stop; the only thing that will change is that our people stop being pirates without objective.

But that is something that I will have to do as time progresses, but returning to our subject, let me explain how we are going to work with the wall. "

While this was happening, Laura and the other children were sweating as they were doing the exercises that Max had taught them a few days ago.

Sven, who was supervising the children's training, clapped his hands to get all the children's attention "Kids, it's time to start the second part of the training.

Form groups of two and begin to use the grip you have been practicing to throw at your partner.

Remember that you should always be serious because if your partner plays, they can hurt him, do you understand? "

All the children shouted in unison, "Yes, Jarl Sven."

After this, Laura wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked towards Daven, who was sitting on the floor.

"Daven is not the time to rest; we have to train if we want to help Papa Einar in the future."

Daven covered the sun's rays with his hand and looked at Laura's smile, so he only sighed as he stretched out his hand to help him up.

When the two were face to face, their training began, Daven stretched out his hand, and Laura took it as she turned around and pushed her hip into Daven's body.

This caused Daven to fall to the ground. "You are fine, Daven."

Daven, who was on the floor, just laughed a little before standing up. "This move is fantastic, but I like the one we were training yesterday better."

Sven was amazed at the children's ability to learn the movements. "You don't think what my son Eskol accomplished is fantastic."

Eskol, who was looking at the children, nodded, "The new fighting tactic you are teaching the children is amazing; I can still remember the demonstration you did."

"All right kids, today I will teach you a way that you can defend yourself and which is very different from the fight you play with.

What I will teach you is called martial art.

Each martial art is different, but we will start with Judo; this martial art can save your life and also help you immobilize the enemy.

But there is no better display of his power than with a little practice, Peder, please attack me with your fists. "

Peder, who was talking to Felipa, was surprised by Einar's order, so he left his spear and armor with her.

When Peder lunged at Einar, he was shocked when his entire world moved, and all he could see was the sky.

Einar smiled and helped Peder lift. "Let's try again."

Sven just started laughing. "Poor Losing ended up bruised from training, but it wasn't too bad either.

Since she received Felipa's care throughout the day ... "

Eskol was surprised to see a happy face on Sven. "You know Eskol, soon Felipa will be my granddaughter, and I will also be a grandfather to other children.

In the early morning hours, Einar broke the news that maybe Kassia and Helmi are pregnant, so he wants to prepare some special gifts for them, not to mention that he also wants to celebrate a wedding.

That is why I would like to ask you for your help as Einar wants to hunt some white bears to make Kassia and Helmi's dresses. "

Eskol put his hand on Sven's shoulder. "You can be sure I'll participate; we haven't been exploring the island for a long time.

Who knows, maybe we could find something of value but who else will come with us. "

"Only 20 warriors will come since we cannot leave the tribe unprotected and remember to come early tomorrow.

Because Einar will teach us to use the crossbow and some tactics to improve the use of it. "

Eskol scratched his beard as he smiled. "I suppose the time of hunting bears with arrows and axes is over."

Sven, who was watching the children train, turned to see Eskol. "That's a good thing for the tribe if we can hunt bears without losing people in the process.

Then our people will be better dressed; I would also like to say that maybe the trade would increase but with all that Einar is doing.

It is a fact that perhaps more and more traders will come, but that also has some danger.

Although that has never been a problem since we always need slaves."

The two men continued talking while Laura took a break on the floor.

"You have done very well Daven, you have endured longer than yesterday."

Daven, who was breathing with some difficulty, looked at Laura with some doubt, "Because I feel that you enjoy having me as a partner."

Laura just laughed and patted Daven on the shoulder. "You're my friend; it's normal that I like having you as a partner."
