Tyr managed to escape the horde of enemies in his way as they were engaged with warriors on his side. Vigar was alone on the wall and observed the battle on the ground like a watchdog.
Tyr knew he was the brains behind whatever absurd strategy this was, he did not know what he was playing at, but he did not want to find out.
He knew whatever was inside those barrels was not a good thing, he would have suggested they retreat, but they were already too deep.
"You! What are you planning?" Tyr shouted the moment he got near Vigar. Vigar was non-reactive to his arrival, as he did not even reach for the weapon strapped to his side.
Tyr noticed he was watching the battle unfold below; his attention was not on Tyr.
"If Erik is here, it means my father fell in battle…' Vigar muttered. He knew this fate befell his father long ago, but he was processing it correctly now because he felt a tiny part of him hoping against the apparent evidence.
Author here, I just wanted to establish the power scaling for these warriors.
If you remember in the earlier chapters, Asger had lost to Egil.
This fact establishes that the commanders in Kattegat aren't absolute abd Vestfold generally have better fighters.
This is to clear up the confusion, there is no plot armor in this novel.
I promised you violence and violence you shall all receive!
