PROLOUGE:
the byzantine emperor Alexeius the Ist is the first emperor to improve not only the great city of constantinople but other regions of the greatest empire on the earth. he is a magnifisent builder, but at the same time he has managed to improve agiculture in almost all the provinces in the empire. though at first look he looks like a nice peacefull man he is also the greatest general ever lived and he never spares a life on the battlefield. he quikly ran over the turks and has taken all egyptian provinces exept one.
THE GREAT BATTLE:
it is a clear day in the sandy desert of egypt the sun burns so hot that not even the toughest scorpion dares to move. a horse and a ride apears over a large sand dune. now a long line of men follow. a line of a thousand men. emperor alexeius has come to destroy the egyptians forever. "so, the fat sultan has dared to show up this time" alexeius says and laughs. this laugh does not last long though because the small army that stands a kilometre away slowly grows. the egyptian sultan has gathered an army of over two thousand men.
the byzantine men begin to talk. "we have better men and a better general, i think we will win"one of the byzantine infantry says. "yes but i dont think those vikings will even reach the egyptians before they die" everybody laughs exept the viking mercenaries. "vi skulle aldri dratt fra gode gamle norge, jeg holder på å dø av denne varmen" one of the vikings say. MARCH the loud voice of alexeius roams over the desert.
people that are close to the vikings make fun of them by calling them "barbarian chicken". though the viking do not understand their language they understand that they are insults. "nå beviser vi at ingen soldater kan vinne over stolte vikinger" the viking leader says. the line of men are closing in on the egyptians. the loud voice of alexeius roams again, but this time its "CHARGE". "det betyr nok ANGRIP" so the vikings charge also.
the cavalery attacs on the flank while the two lines of men clash together. now the battle splits into to battles. though emperor alexeius and the fat egyptian sultans are watching. "there are to few men on the left. come on my bodyguards we have to help them"alexeius joins the battle, but the sultan does not dare to join. the viking are now proving their skills, they chop of peoples heads everywhere.
the battle lasts long and after fighting for two hours(actually a quarter of an hour) some of the egyptians run away. the egyptian sustan still wont fight. KILL THAT FAT MAN alexeius yells. the sultan runs away, but he did not see that three vikings were running against him. "TA HAN" one of the vikings kills the horse and the vikings take the sultan to alexeius. alexeius gets off his horse and then he takes one of the archers bows and shoots it in the leg of the sultan and then one in the shoulder. the fat sultan is now begging for mercy and crying. alexeius pulls the bow has hard as he can and shoots an arrow rightt in the forehead of the sultan.
the vikings turned out killing about 300 people and were forever respeckted by the byzantines after this battle.
the byzantines lost half of their men(500) while the egyptians lost 3/4(1500) of their men.
THE END
i admit i made some changes to the real battle.
i let the other skandinavians do the translations of the viking talk
