The Sage of Einar
Chapter 504: The symbolic handover of Ireland to VilhelmChapter 504: The symbolic handover of Ireland to Vilhelm
In the city of Dun Padraig, what was left of the Nordic army prepared to parade through the streets of the conquered city.
The parade would be the preamble to be able to symbolically deliver the power of everything that Einar had conquered to his father-in-law, Vilhelm.
Vilhelm, who quite liked the strange things that his son did, just watched in silence because he enjoyed being able to enjoy Nordic walking.
When everything was ready to make the parade, Einar lit a few fireworks to give the order that the parade begin.
Vilhelm’s warriors and soldiers watched from the sides as the Nordic army staged a rather surprising military march.
Well, absolutely all of them were coordinated to be able to advance with the same feet at the same time.
The Nordic army parade was quite impressive and although there weren’t too many soldiers as most of them were helping Ansgar clean up the remnants of the Irish coalition army.
The soldiers that were there were more than enough to show the capacity and the might of the Nordic army.
For a few minutes, the parade accompanied by military music from the war band was witnessed by all those who were in the city of Dun Padraig.
When the parade came to an end, the soldiers who were carrying the flags of the nation or rich stood in front of the building where Einar and Vilhelm were standing.
They made a military salute and were completely static because they had to wait for Einar to give his speech for the official delivery of all that was conquered.
Einar, upon seeing his entire army felt a significant amount of pride as all of them had performed flawlessly.
Not only had they obeyed his orders like a veritable army, but they had also learned a great deal during the course of the invasion they had carried out.
Unfortunately, Einar could not use the entire army that he used to conquer Ireland because most of them came from different regions of the island of Brittany.
This was not all bad because the soldiers could continue to be used as guard troops for the fortresses that were conquered.
Leaving only the Nordic and Irish troops at the forefront who could train during the preparation time of one year.
When he spread money on the platform that was in that place, he looked seriously at all his soldiers and the warriors who accompanied Vilhelm.
“Today I am proud to say that all of us have fulfilled the sacred mission that we had to come to remove the power from those Christian hands that were oppressing the population.
All of us in this place have seen the misfortune brought by the inept leaders who ruled these lands. They never cared about their population to begin with.
So when the situation got quite tense they simply decided to take the easy path by snatching all the food and coins they could have from everyone.
This without considering that they did not stop the clergymen and the merchants who ended up completely robbing any hope that the normal people who inhabited their kingdom had.
As rulers, our main obligation is to guarantee the safety of our population if one puts his personal benefit before the benefit of society.
That person is failing as a leader and therefore everything he does will be doomed.
Fortunately, during these months we have been working hard to kill all those vermin who call themselves leaders or nobles.
All of them no longer exist in this Ireland completely free of its yoke and its influences that were only bringing destruction to its population.
I want all of you to remember that we are not conquerors; we are liberators, all the actions we take we do for the well-being of our population.
I know that slavery may not be a solution, however I believe that it is necessary in order to guarantee that the majority of the new inhabitants learn the value of being able to earn the right to be citizens.
Perhaps the only way in which they could achieve their freedom is for them to be children because as children they have nothing to prove because they are the future of the country.
But that is not our concern today. This day we are gathered here to be able to symbolically hand over the power of all the territories that we have conquered in this war to my father-in-law.
Well, following the signed treaty, I promise to deliver everything I have achieved to my father-in-law, because it was a commitment signed for some time.
That is why, in the use of my mental faculties, I declared at this very moment that my father-in-law King Vilhelm.
He is in complete control of any castle or city that may have been conquered by us.
I also promise to leave 10,000 soldiers to protect the eastern part of the kingdom of Ireland who will be assisting the protection and training of the Irish army.
Finally, I also promise to support the island of Ireland with resources and food so that it can be rebuilt quickly, I know that it will be quite a complicated task, however it is something we have to do in order to guarantee everyone’s safety.
Ultimately, all these efforts will serve as they mark the beginning of a fraternal relationship between the Kingdom of Ireland and the Nordic nation.
Well, in the end, the two nations are sisters by sharing the same origin. “
After those words, Einar made a small signal for his father-in-law Vilhelm to advance to the platform so that he could give a small message.
Vilhelm who was used to giving speeches smiled at the gaze of the Nordic army and his own warriors.
“I am quite honored to be able to say that my son Einar was able to complete the task I asked him to do. Not only did he conquer the entire island of Ireland.
But he also managed to unify my kingdom. As the husband of my daughter and father of my grandchildren, I am proud to say that he officially declared Einar as my heir in case anything happens.
Also, the kingdom of Ireland will begin to adopt the laws of the Nordic nation because after my death the kingdom of Ireland will be absorbed into the Nordic nation.
This is because, as he mentioned, we are brothers because we are all Nordic. Without a doubt, I have to thank all the efforts that everyone has made to make this possible. “
