A big longoat arrives at the coast of England, its the king of Denmark's longboat with a big long sail and dragons in the ends.
Now the longboat arrive to the dock, out comes the King of Denmark, and his 2 Berserkers Osl and Roum.

The Saxon Dragon was visible on the horizon, the red banner flying above the King's court in London. The quickest path to the city would surely be through the river Themes, as it lead straight to the King's court.
***
Sailing up the Themes, many fishing villages were visible, and many saxons stopped to stare at the passing vikings. It seemed a peaceful land, its occupants were happy.
However, as they came closer to the city, they saw two skeletons, both had been crucified and were still on the cross, by them was the sign 'Christains Beware'. Clearly Hengest did not mess aroudn when it came to religious matters, and his enemies were dealt with swiftly...

The longboat arrived at the London River Dock, they walked over to a guard and asked him to follow them to the Hideout.
The guard followed them all over the streets to a mighty longhouse well builded of stones and copper shield around.
Gorm walked in and saw Hengest on the throne, he recognized him by his helm and armour.
Gorm said: "Greetings king Hengest, im Gorm of Denmark, im here to discuss the situation."

Gorm took a seat on a old chair, very well made with dragons on and a boar marked in the leather.
"Its good to see a sworn ally of same type and goal, and the deals are clear, now we need a strategy and small guidelines"

"My guesses are you speak of Norway? Yes, we shall discuss the threat soon enough. However, I must bring it to your attention that the Roman Emporer sent me a letter, ordering me to convert to christianity else I face the 'wrath of all true christians'. I would think you saw part of my response on your way in? I fear that the French, amongst others, may be planning an invasion,"

"The France haha, they cant harm a dog, ive pillaged their docks thousands of times, they are easily wiped out, but the romans yes, they are a threat, they say they will protect us, HUH! we can protect ourselves, but they are good traders, i burrowed out some of my berserkers to the old king once, but now after the new one arrived, i cant even think of speaking with their kind."

"I am glad we are on the same page when it comes to christianity," smiled Hengest. "And now, do you have a suggestion concerning Norway?"

"Yes, we need to free England for those peasant like rats, first of all I got a idea for the perfect invasion"
Gorm takes up a map.
"You see, they just got a new king, and you know... new kings need to learn alot, so.. if I make a pillage invasion, he will maybe call his armies from all the colonies, then after some time, you make an invasion of the colonies, then if the king is ordering theyr ships back or just conteniueing the trail to norway, ill let my navy attack them, so they wont reach any of the islands. Like the idea"

"Ah yes, the classic distraction manuever," replied Hengest, thinking. He turned his attention to Sweden: "The Swedes stand between you and mainland Norway, if you can attack form land, there will be no need to face off against the Norwegian navy in the fjords, something that may prove disastrous,"

"Hmm yes, but the Swedish are my blood brothers, so i must involve them in the plan so we can ""act an attack"" So we dont get more enemies"

"This may be a wise move, I myself am at war with the Welsh. They shall soon fall under my dominion though worry not. It is these christians in my realm I am concerned about, they are growing in number dispite the executions," replied Hengest, he turned his attention to the map once more. "I do beleive you have a claim to Pomerania in your bloodline, do you not? Jomsborg would be a ncie addition to your kingdom if I may say so,"

"Jomsborg, hmm, they got good berserkers, yes it would be a good addition, but right now im now thinking of expanding that far"

"That is the difference between you and me, I am an empire-builder, I seek rapid expansion, you are not, from what I have seen of you, you lake to take thigns slower, patience is you attribute," replied Hengest, smiling at his ally.
"Back to the Norwegians... Northumbria must be freed and refferd back to saxon control, and it must be done soon, the Northumbrians are my kin, I do not wish to se them suffer under the tyrants heel,"

"Ofcourse not, and your word will be done, but first, we must look on our resources and men"
