Askeladd withdraws temporarily from the war against England. While searching for a new source of income, he encounters a skirmish among the Franks and hatches a plot to steal their treasure. Askeladd sends 16 years old Thorfinn, who has grown up into a cold-hearted Viking, ahead as a messenger.

.أضعفهم الزّحف في الشّتاء

Marchar en invierno las debilita.

Marchar no inverno as enfraquece.
