The war for high Chieftain pt2

*Thuckk*Thuck*Argh!*Thuck*Thuck*

The sounds of the arrows embedding themselves into the shields of the soldiers as well as the screams of the unlucky ones were heard.

The volley of arrows did little to slow them down.

"Sh*t" Lagertha cursed as she commanded for volley after volley to be released. Even as more arrows were released fewer men were felled, soon enough they had reached the wall and to hack away intent on bringing it down.

"Half of you remain and keep firing down on those f*ckers. The other half with me!" She pulled out her blade and run down to the ground, she managed to see the state of their wall and knew then. They had overestimated it defensive capabilities.

The strong arm chief observed as the wall before him was close to crumbling, and a smile formed on his face.

This smile disappeared however as his ears picked up the sounds of the snow being crushed under boot. The sounds which began as faint grew rapidly and soon enough he saw the source of it all.

The Strong arm chief and his men were so focused on the wall and it's archers before them that they had forgotten about the main force who had gone around them and was attacking from behind.

Leading the charge were Benjen, Harwood, Lothor as well as the chief the boy who had caused all this Arthor.

Arthor held The strong arm chief's gaze, they both saying nothing for a few seconds before Arthor let out a battle cry. His army responded by giving a battle cry of their own before charging at the enemy.

Digging his legs into the side of his mount, The chief alongside his other unicorn riders led the charge, it took only a minute for the two sides to collide.

Iron striking iron creating a beautiful song, the Chief paid little heed to whoever came his way. His attention completely focused on Arthor.

His charge was halted however as two arrows found their way into the unicorn felling his mount and causing the Chief to fall into the snow which was quickly turning red.

Performing a quick roll, the Chief grabbed a shield and rose it up. The sound of iron bitting into wood was heard as a soldier burried his axe into the Chief's shield.

The Chief aware the axe was now firmly struck in the shield spun around, freeing the axe from it's wielder before slamming his elbow into the soldiers throat crashing the windpipe as they fell to the ground.

The Chief looked down at the man who was now desperately trying to breathe, before slamming his shield down into the man's skull.

With the shield now firmly stuck in his skull, The Chief pulled out the axe embedded in the shield and continued his charge for Arthor.

The Strong arm tribe were soon pushed back to the wall, the surprise attack had managed to take out a lot of them before they could react.

They needed time to regroup, but the enemy would not allow that, from behind once again Lagertha led the remainder of fighters in the village out to fight through the front gates.

At that moment the strong arm tribe were surrounded with their advantage being their numbers culled to the point it no longer made a difference.

The Chief noticed this as well causing him to charge towards Arthor with unbridled rage. Arthor readied himself to take Arthor's strike but the pure force behind the attack sent his back, leaving two visible trails in the snow.

"Listen here brat, I'm gonna rip out your limbs one by one and then when I'm done with you I'm gonna piss in your skull."

"Your era has passed old man and this new era has no place for the likes of you" Saying those words Arthor leapt to the side avoiding another heavy swing. Arthor immediately swung for the arm holding the weapon, taking it in one clean swing.

"Argh!" The chief screamed, and swung with his other arm landing a heavy hit on Arthor which caused him to spit out blood. He moved in to grab his axe to continue his battle with Arthor.

As he reached out an axe flew in leaving him with a deep gash in his arm before embedding itself into the earth. Turning to the source the Chief quickly dropped to his feet dodging Lothor's wild strike.

Looking up the Chief caught a glimpse of Lothor's axe as it swung towards where his head was just a second ago.

Arthor not willing to let go of an opportunity moved in to behead the chief. The Chief managed to stop the attack by grabbing it with his bare hand, but his actions proved to be futile as Arthor quickly abandoned his sword and quickly pulled out a dagger and dug it into the head of the Chief.

With the blade in the Chief's skull Arthor watched as the life drained out his eyes with the last expression he wire being one of surprise.
