War. War never changes.

I didn't expect Einar to react this way.

[HaruNoYoru]

50 men against 300 tribals at the expense of incurring Thorfinn's wrath, yeah what could possibly go wrong

 

[Screenwatch]

I didn't expect Einar to react this way.

It’s honestly extremely sad because he was with Thorfin ever since he reformed. He’s one of the characters that understands Thorfin’s ideology the most and the struggles he has done to maintain it but realizes he himself is not strong enough to keep with it like Thorfin.

the sun really does burn the night wow

I didn't expect Einar to react this way.

Einar lost his father when his home village was attacked by the English, and lost his freedom later, when the same village was again attacked by the Norse. He then spent who knows how many years as a slave on the farm, until the farm was once again attacked and he just barely escaped death or further enslavement. I'm sure he's well tired of trying to build a home, only to have it taken away through violence, especially considering he just sailed halfway across the known world explicitly to finally be rid of that very thing.

They're gonna get absolutely destroyed in this battle I can just tell

 

[Scoottie]

This is so fucking painful.

Einar about to find out why Thorfinn hates this shit.

a bunch of farmers and settlers thinking of fighting an army (roughly) 4 times their number (since deducting women and children)
even as a siege, it’s only viable at 3 times the number
and these guys are not even fighters

 

[K1NGST0N33]

Einar is an idiot and he needs to learn his lesson. It's surely going to be a painful bloodbath, but it seems inevitable at this point.

Assuming women are half, wouldn't it be closer to 7x or 8x their number? Either way, pulling a Rorke's Drift is still possible with the fort.

Having a walled fort roughly enables you to defend against three times your number with little difficulty. Problem is that the norse don't really have that much metal weaponry, let alone metal armor, so any additional advantage through superior equipment is probably minimal. Plus, their fort is made of wood, which is known to burn pretty well, and it abuts the water without a harbor or similar fortifications, so the Lnu might take canoes and attack from the seaward side as well.

Not looking good overall, I'd say. This will pretty much have to be decided through Thorfinn/Hild intervention, the Lnu giving up/getting called back by their chief, or Cordelia going absolutely Thorkell.
