Bjorn sends his savior Erik to negotiate a pact against the foreign threat with 'All-Norvegian king' Harald, who would have executed the outlaw, but king Olaf reminds him to be spared to speak wisdom, which is not to face the enemy alone. While prince Oleg has his impressive troop parade, ready to invade Scandinavia in Spring, Ivar gets confirmation that prince Dir is ready to turn on the prophet with him and Igor. When Hvitserk arrives, Ivar welcomes him, as does Oleg, eager for fresh news from Kattegat. In Iceland, Ubbe is worried to find out that Othere, who is to lead his fleet to the promised land, is a defected monk calling himself Athelstan, whom he wishes to kill in the gods' name for being a Christian.
