Aria and her team set a trap for Leif, ambushing him and his warriors in a narrow alleyway. The Space Vikings were caught off guard, and they were quickly surrounded.
Leif fought bravely, his battle-axe slicing through the rebels. But he was outnumbered, and he knew that he was in grave danger.
Just as it seemed that the rebels would emerge victorious, Gunnar and a team of Space Vikings arrived on the scene. They fought off the rebels, and Leif was able to escape.
The aftermath of the ambush was brutal, with Leif ordering his warriors to hunt down and kill any rebels who had participated in the attack. Aria was forced to go into hiding, and the resistance movement was dealt a severe blow.
But Leif knew that the war was far from over. The Eldrids would continue to fight, and he would have to be ruthless if he wanted to maintain control of the city.Vikings turned their attention to the planet itself. The Eldrid capital city, a sprawling metropolis of towering spires and grand architecture, lay before them.
Leif's strategy was to besiege the city, using his superior numbers and firepower to wear down the defenders. The Eldrids, however, had other plans.
As the Space Vikings approached the city walls, they were met with a hail of gunfire and missile strikes. The Eldrids had prepared a surprise for the invaders, and Leif's Vikings were forced to regroup and reassess their tactics.
Leif called a council of war with his top commanders, including Helga Battleborn and Gunnar. Together, they devised a new plan, one that would exploit the weaknesses of the Eldrid defenses.
