Bab 58: Row!

"Row! Row! Row! The rhythmic command of the Vikings rowing the warship that Hagen had built, was strong enough to traverse these rough seas that have claimed so many other ships.

It was like Jormungandr himself was protecting the seas of Vestfold as the waves moved in the opposite direction making it easy for the ships coming out of Vestfold as they rode the waves but this was not the case for those that tried to make their way into Vestfold.

This naturally acted as a defense against sea invasions because no boat builder has been skilled enough to conquer the forces of nature, not until now.

The waves crashed on the wooden plant of the boat yet it stood just as strong, battling its way through the savage waters.

"Hagen, you mad fucking genius!" Skarde praised him but it was the idea of Ulf that made this possible. Ulf knew there was a chance that his name would resonate in the world of Vikings as he had gained the recognition of King Askild.
