"(4+1) Tod and his raider band has returned back to Scandinavia. The local priests are in sheer awe of how many prisoners you have, hence a small longship joins your fleet, along with the big amount of zealots. Before you go back onboard, a courier stops you: "Tod the Berserker? The king of Poland has sent you an offer." The courier gives you a letter and runs off. The letter says, "Tod the Berserker, I'm quite aware of You and Your merits as a warrior and a commander, and so I see You as a potential and very valuable employee. Sail off to my kingdom, and I shall explain my offer." Signed, Wieslaw I the Ironhand"

"Blessed by the priests, Tod the Berserker sails off to the kingdom of Poland, landing in the Prussia. Tod notices a bunch of leathery tents, protected by a palisade. The flag of the Polish Kingdom flies above the biggest tent, which makes Tod come to conclusion that it's where he can find the king Wieslaw. The Norsemen group comes closer, and the guards welcome Tod inside, albeit they won't let his troops inside.

Inside the main tent, Tod finds the King of Poland, Wieslaw I The Ironhand: a man with a "double hook" prosthesis instead of a left hand, long, straight mead hair, tall stature, brown eyes, and dressed in a chain mail while also wearing a crown atop his head. He speaks up about the deal, straight and blunt; "My Kingdom is ravaged by traitors led by a High Chief Przemyslaw of Lower Poland. The war isn't going well for me, but I'm ready to pay money to anyone who wills to work on me." Two servants of the king haul a wooden chest near you, then open it for a demonstration. Wieslaw continues with a soft-spoken manner, "Crush the rebellion and remain alive, and you'll get your reward; is that a suitable deal for you?" The servants then lock the chest as soon as the king asked Tod a question."

I say we accept the deal, we might as well do it scene we were going to be looting and pillaging anyway and this way we get paid to do it.

"Tod accepts the offer and bows before the king in the gesture of mutual respect. Suddenly, the talk is interrupted by a guard running inside the main tent like a spooked deer: "My king, an army led by High Chief Przemyslaw's subordinate, Chief Wladyslaw Wielko, is approaching our camp!" King Wieslaw looks at the Tod, calmly saying, "Don't disappoint me," then he turns back to the guard and says, with equal calmness, "Warm all of my men, so they prepare for battle. Perun shall be the judge of who deserves victory this day."

Have the archers fire upon them from the front, and every one else should split into two groups and try to flank the oncoming army from different sides.

"(4 vs 1)(6 VS 5+1) The Viking/Loyalists archers rain down a piercing storm of arrows upon the incoming rebel rabble; the center flank, mostly consisting of Loyalists, holds well against the rush of the rebels, with the palisade helping to maintain a narrow entrance for the enemies. (6 VS 5) The flanking maneuver is successful, resulting in heavy casualties for the rebels after minutes of intense resistance. Chief Wladyslaw gives out a command to retreat and find a defensive position for themselves, (4 VS 2-1) but a couple of small squads of light cavalry chases the retreating rebels and kill several of them, downing their moral."

Form up a large half/3/4 circle of Atgeir wielders around there position.
Losely intermixed with the skirmishers an archers.
Archers keep up there barrage, cavalry keep chase off any that attack us until we could in to skirmish range.
Heavy axemen, and housecarls stay back to counter any charges.

Then there trapped we can hammer them with skirmishers an archers, give them one chance to parlay
(give up now an you'l only be decimated in to slavey? Pay a revolt fine? what ever it's King Wieslaw call)
Before we shattering them with a heavy charge, an the cavalry can then chase them off into the hills.
