Askeladd and his men continue their march to escape from Thorkell. However, their march comes to a halt at the Severn River. Askeladd hands a letter to an old man operating a ferry across the river and tells him to deliver the letter to the other side immediately. As soon as he hears the addressee’s name, the old man sets off in his boat.
It's better than moving north through England
with Thorkell at our heels.
هذا أفضل من التّحرّك شمالاً عبر إنجلترا
.وثوركِل على أعقابنا
Immer noch besser, als von Thorkell
gejagt durch England zu marschieren.
Es mejor que atravesar el norte de Inglaterra
con Thorkell justo detrás.
Es mejor que tener
a Thorkell pisándonos los talones.
Mieux vaut ça que de remonter
l’Angleterre en fuyant Thorkell.
È meglio di procedere verso nord attraverso
l'Inghilterra con Thorkell alle calcagna.
Melhor que ir pro norte, pela Inglaterra,
com Thorkell no nosso encalço.
