War at Ketil's Farm / The Battle of Ketil's Farm Ketil gathers his men, numbering around 350 of mostly ragtag recruits, to defend the farm without revealing who they will be fighting until they are all gathered together. Canute's forces arrive in four ships and offer Ketil an ultimatum to surrender his lands and leave without bloodshed but with Thorgil on his side, Ketil decides to fight. Snake observes that they are up against 100 of the best fighters in Denmark including the Jomsvikings and realizes that they cannot win. However, he decides to fight for the debt he owes Ketil, and his few experienced men decide to accompany him. As the battle begins, Thorfinn, Einar, and Leif, leave in a cart with Arnheid who briefly regains consciousness. As Canute's forces push forward with little resistance, Thorgil circles around through the water and approaches King Canute from behind while the terrified and cowardly Olmar turns back and retreats.
