Chapter 28

Olaf was in the hall looking at the map of the city of Aachen looking at the strengths and weaknesses of it and it's secrets that are unknown to others, when the others came and Harold who looked at his brother and said 'why did you accept the deal from the Christians they will not keep their word,' Olaf looked at him and said 'calm down brother this deal works more in our favor than them.'

Ragnar who was in agreement with Harold wanted to know said 'how does this work out better for use?' Olaf spoke 'with this deal they will not attack, no better intact since it tells us they can't attack us and fear that we will raid them so they decide to sacrifice the kingdom that borders this city and Aachen the capital that is very wealthy as it was the center of the three kingdoms when ruled by one man and that will be a good target for a future raid for us and we don't even need to do it now since we have five years of planning to do and we will raid England in 4 years and take settlements so now we need to take all the treasures that we have raided and get home,"

He looked at Leif and said 'my friend I leave this city in your hands, keep the first two thousand and use it to build this place as a very strong city," to which Leif nodded to and that was the end of the raid the next day olafs no his army left Bremen and returned to Norway.

After a few days they reach city of kaupang and were showered in celebration as word came from the army after landing of tells of victory's and conquest and the wealth that they got was massive and filled all the ships and Olaf who say all the people cheering him on walked through and left Ragnar to tell the people their victories and how their leader led them, Olaf went to his family to relax with them and told them of what he saw and Sigurd who heard the tells was envious since he wanted to join on the raids.the following day all the other jarls went their own cities with their own Wealth.

Word started to spread of olafs exploits in the west and the massive wealth he has gain from them which as made him the talk of the Viking world.

In Denmark king horik was in thought and said 'this Olaf seems like a man that is quite ambitious and dangerous but we could use him to destroy borg, that way I could take those lands that belong to be and expand my reach and start making moves against the other danish rules here.

In Sweden jarl borg who heard the stories looked at his brother and said 'this man could help us in fighting horik and keeping our lands," his brother asked "are you sure he will let you keep it," borg replied ' I have heard that he is a generous man and if a large number of Swedish jarls join him and sure he will not refuse,' the brother spoke 'okay but for now we can continue the fight ourselves,' and borg nodded to it.

In kaupang Olaf was with Astrid tell her of his next attack, ' after four years we will attack Northumbria capital and make it a country of Vikings and we will raid in to Scotland I am curious about the land north, Astrid said ' okay but since it will be in four years that means you will take Sigurd with you.' Olaf said 'yes and I will guide him don't worry he needs this see in his eyes they are the same as mine, our future is England.'
