The Sage of Einar

In a battlement tower, Anders was looking at the small town burning at his feet with a golden crown on his head.

"What a beautiful destruction of an earl's property, don't you think so Rusell."

Russell, who was covered in blood, just turned his head to look at Anders.

"That this count was not supposed to have his doors taken care of. I think it was too easy to kill him."

Anders laughed and raised his hand with the earl's head "You heard count, you're stupid and even a child knows you were too trusting.

But since you're listening to me, I think you deserve to know how you died. "

Anders cleared his throat and began to remember what he had done.

"Anders, you are crazy how you dare to say that we can enter the city, you are an intelligent bastard, but how you are going to achieve it."

Anders smiled at his father-in-law and spread his hands "I will use the same guards to enter your city, for that I have some spies who have done their job.

All I ask is a place for my troops and perhaps a title of nobility for my own use and that of my wife.

I think a duke of his size will be able to reward a man as efficient as I am. "

The duke looked at Anders with a smile "Very well, if you can conquer the earl's city, I will give you a small castle south of this place and you will have the rank of baron.

I will exempt you from taxes for 100 years, that's all you will get if you can conquer the city. Just remember that the population is important.

You can burn down the city and steal anything you want, but I need the population of the city.

Also, do not burn the walls and bastion of the city because I need it to be able to rebuild the city again. You can keep all the loot.

See it as a reward and a help so that my grandson can grow up without problems. "

Anders showed an evil smile "You don't need to worry, father-in-law. I will comply with all the actions I said.

Now, if you excuse me, I have a city to conquer. "

The duke then just watched as Anders left the room.

'That damn Anders is a real danger, but I can't take out one of my best people hunters.

The gains that it produces to me, like my stupid daughter, are too many to be able to go against them.

But when I have a way to trade with the mythical King Einar, I think I'll stop using them so I can eliminate them.

I just hope that damn Anders can bring me those sweet children. I think I will enjoy them along with the rest of the clergy. '

Anders, who had already left his father-in-law's castle, put his serious face and approached the stable where his warhorse was.

At the scene, he could see Russell using a brush to clean the horse.

"Mr. Anders, it's a good moment that coming back the horse was starting to get angry because of your absence."

Anders just laughed "Now can you talk to the animals Rusell?"

Russell scratched his head "Mr. Anders, it's just that before seeing you, the horse is getting desperate.

Besides, since it's the only thing I do in my free time, I know when the horse is somewhat stressed by the lack of you. "

Anders raised his eyebrow and shook his head "Let's save the talks for later we have a city to conquer.

Get on your horse and be prepared that we will ride for at least three hours to reach the meeting point with the troops and our informants. "

While they were riding, Anders was preparing everything in his mind for the night raid.

First, they would take all the gates of the city and the bastion.

Having the guards threatened, they would go to the bastion where they will open the doors and begin the slaughter.

It was an infallible plan, as the city guard was mostly corrupt, so Anders promised a large amount of resources to them just for their help.

After riding for hours, they came to a hut in the middle of the forest.

When they got off the horses, they walked towards the hut where they opened the door and could see a group of mercenaries drinking.

"Anders, you took too long. The boys were already looking with evil eyes at the women and children of the guards who will help us."

Anders shrugged his shoulders and shook his head "It wasn't my fault I was negotiating with my father-in-law about the prizes of our valuable conquest.

He said that we can keep everything, but the population must be enslaved for sale, the houses can be burned but the bastion and the walls are forbidden.

I hope that everyone knows how to control themselves because if I find out that they are burning something that they should not or have killed someone.

You will suffer, as for the children we have in our possession, send them to my father-in-law as well as the women.

Those poor bastards were unlucky that their families were requested by my dear father-in-law.

But who am I to deny the pleasure of the father-in-law, start to move that I do not want waste of time.

By the way, when do our informants arrive? "

At night, the mercenaries of Anders approached the walls and, after making a few gestures, the doors were opened, so the mercenaries entered in silence.

Well, his main mission was to take the bastion because if the count were to dig in, it would be almost impossible to get him out.

Upon reaching the gates of the bastion, these were opened and Anders and his troops were admitted, after killing the guards loyal to the earl.

Anders opened Pandora's box and let his people start robbing and hunting people.

When Anders kicked the door of the battlement tower, he did so smiling while smelling the smell of shit from the place as they were throwing their shit through the tower because there were no pipes.

"I love the smell of shit at night. It reminds me of the battlefield where when you open an enemy's stomach their blood and shit will come out of their stomachs."

Anders went up the stairs while his mercenaries beat the servants of the place. When he reached the door of the count's room he kicked it.

The earl who was holding his sword glared at Anders.

"Damn the duke's dog ..."

He could not finish his words as Anders buried his sword in his heart.

"Shhh, keep quiet trash.

You just go to your god and send him my regards. "
