The Vikings screams and roaring could be heard miles around . While the knights taunts were only heard by their attackers . Darren is looking over the rampart of the fortress,  seeing uncountable numbers of Vikings. Darren know tonight he will possibly die , no he most likely will die but he gonna make these bastards work for his death . As he contemplates what to do a group of well armed and armored Vikings push foward to the front of the lines and they began to speak

Darren thoughts P.O.V

The raid leader or leaders are approaching us ? They don't usually do this , typically the leadership stays behind a bit and come out during the middle of the fight except in a few cases. They look tougher than the usual , they got a valkyrie , a beserker , a crazy looking one on all four , and finally a warlord . That warlord is as big as me he will be tough nut to crack plus we both have shields . The beserker looks ... less bloodthirsty than I thought he would . Valkyrie's armour looks like the finest they could make and the one on all four looks...... unhinged.  Is she .... drooling and sniffing the ground.... is she a dog ?

End of thoughts

Darren's P.O.V

As the group of Vikings inspect what is infront of them the warlord steps forth and speak in a harsh clearly sturdy voices that's use to giving orders. 

WL is warlord

WL : LOOK AT THIS MY KIN ,THEY

HOLD THEMSELVES UP IN THEIR

PRETTY FORT CAUSE THEY ARE

SCARED !  WELL LETS SHOE THEM

THAT NOTHING CAN STOP US

VIKINGS !

I began to see a bit more fear in the men behind the ramparts so I give a few words back.

D : YOU HEAR THAT BOYS THE UGLY

BASTARDS FINALLY DECIDED TO

COME AND SHOW THEMSELVES.....

HEH TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH. 

THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE ENOUGH

TIME TO GROW GREY AND OLD ....

SHOW THEM WHAT IT MEANS TO BE

TRAINED IN THE FORGE !!!!

the boy cheered behind me thankfully . Though the warlod looks a bit unhappy with our high spirits and he stares me down but I won't flinch . The Warlord then turns to the valkyrie and starts to give her some orders , or at least that's what I think . Those thoughts were then confirmed by the valkyrie who shouted and suddenly arrows started raining down upon us.  I let out my own shouts and orders for the men to take cover , and they do as they're told . Then as soon as the arrow rain down I heard the Vikings pushing foward and they can be heard picking things up my guess ladders and hooks to climb the walls .

1 hour later

The Darren and his men held for a small time on the first wall but soon were pushed to the second.  Darren hasn't seen the four leaders yet but he thinks they are somewhat holding back.

Darren mid battle

D : DAMMIT !

I shove the viking down after it killed a young soldier and stomp on their head cracking it open it blood a brain seeping out of it skull . They pushed us faster than I thought but they have way more than they thought they would.
Guess that's our fault , now I gotta rally the men or what's left I can see few covering eachother . I make my way to the closet ones

10 minutes later

Darren pov

D : there they are . Let see ..... 10 soldiers and a captain . Not much but they will do , we'll need to make a push to our fall back point. 

C is for Captain

Captain P.O.V

C :  Damm we are outnumbered probably 2 to 1 . Maybe we can push to the left and make a break for those door that to the leads to the actual prison ?

But as I was coming up with a plan I see Forge ( Darren's nickname ) charging into the swarm of Vikings and with his massive size he knocks over five in his first moments of contact and I think he steps on their skulls and smashes them . It terrifying and the vikings roar at the loss of their kin and try to retaliate , Key work is try . He raises his massive flail and spins it cracking 3 more heads , pieces of the victims skulls flying away into the eyes of those next too them . He then takes his shield (which is also massive) defending against multiple people at once , he is the embodiment of a wall never moving or faltering to his assailants . As we watch as Forge rip the Vikings asunder , they soon retreated realizing they would all die against this giant of war and battle .

C : Forge it so good to see you sir and thank you for saveing us .

F : Your welcome Captain , now we need to move into the prison and find the Warden .

C : YES SIR

Darren P.O.V

Me and the group I found made our to the prison and thankfully there still seems to be some gaurds they're bloody but they seem alright . It also looks like they have killed some of the vikings too , good the more we kill the less we have to deal with. I approached the closet gaurd and ask about the situation .

D : What the situation ?

G : Not good it seems parts of  the walls fell more quickly than anticipated so we fell back more quickly than we would have liked . But we're hold what we can and we are hold strong .

D : Good , has the fighting made its way into the prison yet ?

G : Yes it has , the Vikings have taken a foot hold in the one of the cell blocks .

D : Alright then I heading there these , men should help you old this gate until I get back. 

G : UNDERSTOOD.

I rush of into the prison hopefully to eliminate what Vikings are inside .

Darren P.O.V

It seems the vikings managed to get a larger number than I thought thankfully no real heavy hitters , though I do hope to find one of the leaders . As I make my way deeper into the block it seems the vikings executed many of the prisoners and the gaurds who were watching them . I feel pity for the gaurds , but not this criminal filth they were the worst of the worst , the ones we didn't even think about letting out too fight . Then I hear clangs around a corner and peek behind it and see the beserker and the shaman that were with the Warlord .they were fighting 3 knight Captains and a it looked like they have killed more before hand. They dance around the captains taking stap and slashes at ehm , they ever kill 2 captains and the final one .... the shaman jumps and tear his throat out with her teeth . These savages are going to die now and I will make it painful , I bellow out my challenge they look at me and come running like I had hoped for.

The beserker comes first lumping in the air and smashes his axes into my shield,  I thtow him off  . Then I quickly turn a catch the shaman , her feral growls are what I hear , pushing her aside I turn swinging my flail into the beserker's side catching him off gaurd . I go to pull my flail out but the beserker grabs it trying to hold me in place,  I feel my senses tell me to dodge and I do the shaman Flys past and land on the beserker having lodge her axe into his neck . She recoiled at what she had don eI take this opportunity and rush her and slam into her back knocking her to the ground. I then start stomping on her back and legs hoping to immobilize her ... I succeeded.  I finally walk over tho the beserker's corpse I rip my flail from his side a walk over to the shaman who is still groaning one the ground , I whirl my flail around and bring straight down on her head caving it in .

And that's where im gonna end it off guy I hope you have enjoyed it , and I hope you continue to enjoy it . And hope you guys have a nice day , nice night , nice life
