Complete story — includes the ending
The combined armies attack the walls of Kattegat from two directions. However, the defenses are too strong and they are forced back. Magnus is killed by Ivar's captain White Hair. Bjorn appeals to the citizens and says that Ivar is their enemy. At night while Ivar celebrates his victory, Freydis sneaks out to the attackers' camp. She exposes Ivar's murder of Baldur and Thora and a hidden door. A second assault begins and most of the defenders give no resistance, leaving Ivar's housecarls outnumbered and defeated. Harald is seriously wounded while saving Bjorn's life. Freydis reveals her betrayal to Ivar, who strangles her. When Bjorn and Hvitserk enter the hall, Ivar has vanished. Bjorn is declared king by Olaf and a returning Lagertha. Bjorn has a vision of the Seer, who tells him that the war is not over. In the hills, Ivar and his remaining followers travel east.
