OCTOBER 1013 AD LONDON, ENGLAND
THE BATTLE OF LONDON BRIDGE
That's not really a bridge.
橋っつーかなんつーか…
It's more like a fortress.
要塞だなありゃあ。
I'm impressed, London.
さすがはロンドン。
The city has survived many attacks over the years.
長年の襲撃に耐えてきた町だ。
It has a lot of history.
年季を感じるぜ
This isn't the time to be complacent, Askeladd.
悠長なこと言ってる場合じゃねえぞアシェラッド。
This city's going to be trouble.
この町はてこずるぜ。
You said it'd be an easy win. That's why I'm here.
あんたが楽勝って言うから参加したのによォ
Sorry, sorry.
ワリィワリィ。
I never imagined that Thorkell would side with the enemy.
まさかあのトルケルが敵につくとは 思ってなかったもんでな…
You mean, Thorkell the Tall?
のっぽのトルケルか。
He's in bed with the enemy for the money.
金でロンドンに寝返りやがって。
What a traitor.
裏切りモンが
We're in this for the money too.
金目当てはオレらも同じだろ？
We sided with the Army of Denmark, because we thought King Sweyn has a chance to win.
スヴェン王に勝ち目ありと踏んだから デンマーク軍についたんだ。
The other clans are all the same.
他の部族もみんな同じさ。
They're desperate to prove themselves on the battlefield
手柄を立てて戦利品の配当を 少しでも多くもらおうと必死だよ
and increase their share of the spoils.
Well, with so many men here, no one's getting very much.
まあ、こんだけ集まっちゃたかが知れてるがな
I don't fight for money.
オレは金じゃ戦はしねェ。
I like to kill.
殺しが好きなんだ
I can truly rely on a man like you, Bjorn.
頼もしいぜビョルン。
In any case, those bigwigs all want London.
だがまぁエライさんたちにしてみりゃ豊かな ロンドンは欲しい町だ。
If we can capture the Thames River,
のテムズ川さえ押さえりゃ
we can set up a supply line to the inland areas in Wessex.
ウェセックス内陸への補給線も通るしな
The top leaders all have their eyes on this battleground.
首脳陣注目の戦場ってワケだ
Yeah. This is the place to be if you want to stand out.
あァ。ちょいと目立っとくならここだろう
What do you mean?
なんだよ。
Do you have a plan in mind?
なんか面白い策でもあるのか？
Well,
んー…
it's not really a plan.
策ってほどのもんでもないが…
Thorfinn.
トルフィン！
We have some work for you.
働いてもらうぜ。
Go bring me Thorkell's head.
トルケルの首とってこい
Promise me you'll give me my reward.
ほうびを約束しろ
Okay. Okay.
おっけーおっけー。
The same as always, right? You're so stubborn.
いつものヤツだろ？こりないねお前も。
Getting so worked up about a fight you can't win.
勝てねェ勝負にムキになる。
Maybe you get it from your father.
そういう所、親父似なのかねェ
Don't forget, Askeladd.
忘れるなよアシェラッド。
My only wish as a warrior
戦士として
is to beat you in a duel.
テメェを決闘で破ることだけがオレの望みだ
Our next duel will be your last.
次の勝負がテメェの最期だ。
I'm going to carve out your heart,
心臓えぐり抜いて
and offer it to my father's spirit.
父上の霊に捧げてやる
Then get to work.
ならば働け。
Only those who fight on the battlefield get what they desire.
戦場では働いた奴だけが欲しい物を手にできる。
That's the way of the warrior.
それが戦士の流儀だ。
My head's not cheap, you know.
オレの首は安くないぜ？
I'll duel you as often as you like.
決闘なんざいくらでも受けてやろうじゃねェの
Go bring me Thorkell's head.
トルケルの命ァとってこい
Hey.
おーい！
Askeladd.
アシェラッドー！
What?
ああ？
One ship is heading towards the bridge.
船が1隻、橋へ向かったぞー
It's the Jomsvikings! The Sea Deer!
ヨーム戦士団の“海の鹿”号だァ
They're messengers from the regular army.
ありゃあ正規軍の使者だな。
Are they Floki's men?
フローキのだんなか。
I bet he's going to try to win Thorkell over to his side
どうせイングランド側の倍額払うとかなんとか言って
by saying he'll pay double whatever England pays.
トルケルを懐柔するつもりなんだろ
Thorkell will follow the money.
金次第の野郎だ。
I bet he'll take their offer.
応じるんじゃねェの？
Well, I'm not so sure about that.
さぁて。そいつはどうかな？
They're here.
来たぞー！
It's just one ship.
1隻だけだー！
This way. Hurry.
こっちだ！急げー！
Die. Take that.
死ねぇ！うらぁ！
Take that.
オラァ！やっちめぇ！
Fire. Fire.
射て射てェー！
Don't shoot. We're messengers.
射つな！軍使である！
We want to talk to Thorkell.
トルケル殿と話がしたい！
-You damn bastards. -Die.
クソがー！ 死ねやぁ！
We didn't come here to fight.
戦いに来たのではない！
Where is Thorkell?
トルケル殿はいずこか！
Shut up. Die.
うっせぇんだよ！おちろぉっ！
Hey.
おーい
Stop.
やめろ
Yes, sir.
は、ハイ！
Everyone. Cease fire.
全員、射ち方やめろォ！
Hey, Floki. It's been a while.
よォーッ！フローキか！久しぶりだなァ！
You look like you've been doing well.
元気そうで何よりだ！
Enough with the pleasantries.
あいさつは結構！
His Highness, King Sweyn, sends a message, which I am here to deliver.
総大将スヴェン王陛下の お言葉を伝えに参りました
In the words of His Highness:
陛下のお言葉によりますと
"The King of England has escaped to the land of the Franks.
“イングランド王はフランクの地へ逃げ去った。
Resistance is futile.
これ以上の抵抗は無意味である。
Surrender.
降伏せよ
If you surrender, then in the name of Thor,
さればトール神の名において
I shall spare the lives of you and your men,
貴君とその部下の命および
as well as leave you your fortunes."
財産は保証するとのこと
Go back to the army, Thorkell.
軍団へお帰り下さいトルケル殿！
Those are the wishes of His Highness.
陛下もそれを望んでおられます
Is King Sweyn here?
スヴェンの王様来てンの？
He's tough.
がんばるなァ。
For such an old man.
もういいトシだろうに
Thorkell.
トルケル殿！
Why are you drawing your bow against a friend?
この期に及んで、なぜともがらに対し弓を引くのです！
For so long, we've fought as warriors, side by side.
我らは永き年月、船首を並べて共に戦った仲ではありませんか！
You must not misread the flow of the world.
世の流れを見誤ってはなりませぬ！
Your brother Sigvaldi is also worried.
兄君のシグヴァルディ様もご心配なさっておいでです
Flow of the world?
流れかァ…
I see.
そうねェ…
I was fighting against the English myself until last year. That's why I know.
オレも去年までイングランド人と戦ってたからわかるよ。
They're really weak.
ホントこいつら弱くってさァ…
-They're a bunch of sheltered city boys. -What?
大都市のもやしっ子って言うか… え、なに？
-Is that Norse? -They lack spirit.
ノルド語かな？ かハキが足りないっつーかよォ
Maybe.
たぶん
Prince Edmund was the only general
お前らデンマーク軍とまともにやれる将軍なんざ
who could handle the army of Denmark.
エドモンド王子くらいだったよ。
This country is finished.
この国はもうダメだね
Oh, in that case...
おお、では…
In other words,
うん。てことはつまりィ…
it'd be more fun
お前らと戦ったほうが
to fight against you.
面白いってことさ！
What?
は？
That's enough talk.
さー話は終わりだ！
Let's get to the next part. The next part.
つづきやろうぜつづき！
Wait. Thorkell.
待て…トルケル殿！
I promise you double what England's giving you.
今ならばイングランドの倍の厚遇を約束しますぞ！
Here I go, Floki.
いっくぜェフローキ～！
Veer left. Full speed.
かっ回避！左回頭全速力！
Time for the deadly...
必殺！
Keel-Buster!!
竜骨砕きっ！
Oh, I missed.
あいやァ外したかー
Full speed.
全速力だ！
Withdraw.
離脱せよ！
Men. Kill them.
やれ、お前ら
Yes, sir.
ハッ！
Retreat. Retreat.
退け！退くんだー！
Hey, Floki.
おーいフローキよー！
Go ask King Sweyn
スヴェン王に訊いてみてくれー！
whether he's bored of always fighting battles he's going to win.
勝ち戦ばっかしてて退屈じゃねえのかってなー！
There's no chance that we'll be able to convince him.
説得に応じる気配はありませぬ
I see.
そうか。
It was a waste of time.
大儀であった
So, what shall we do?
して、いかがいたしましょう…
Attack them now, without delay.
今一度攻めよ
Hey. Damn.
おい！くそっ！
All right.
いよぉし！
Damn. They're attacking the pier.
くそ！橋脚にとりついたぞ！うっ！
You bastard.
あの野郎！
Hurry.
急げ！
Damn.
くそっ！
-Damn. I missed. -Get more rocks.
くそ！当たらねぇ！ もっと石持ってこい！
Out of my way.
どけ。お前ら
Wow.
うわっスゲェ！
Here we go.
いっくぞー！
How'd you like that? That was my special...
見たか必殺…え～と…丸太落とし！
er... Log-Dropper!!
The name says it all.
そのままだなァ
That was amazing.
でもスゲー
Next.
次！
Hurry up.
早くしろ！
Yes, sir.
はい！
What's wrong with Sweyn's army?
どぉーしたスヴェン軍！
Why don't you come up with something?
ちったぁ工夫しろ！
I know you can do better if you try.
お前らもっとやればデキる子だろーが！
At this rate, you won't capture London Bridge. Not even in a hundred years...
そんなこっちゃなァ。 百年かかってもこのロンドン橋は…
This is it. This guy looks fun.
来た来た。オモシロそーな奴が！
Thorfinn. Can you hear me?
トルフィン！聞こえるかー！？
The huge man in front with the log.
正面の丸太を持ったバカでかい奴、
That's Thorkell.
あれがトルケルだ
This is no good. Stop the ship.
ダメだァー！停船！
He'll hit us if we get any closer.
これ以上近づくと喰らうぞ！
Steer left.
左に旋回！
Just a little further.
も少しふんばれ！
All right. That's enough.
よォし充分だァ！
Jump.
跳べぇぇっ！
Don't touch him.
お前ら手ェ出すな！
This jolly little fool...
ああいうユカイな大バカ者は
is all mine.
オレが独り占め…だっ！
Yeah.
よいしょおっ！
Bastard.
…のやろうっ！
Come on.
よいさぁっ！
You're good...
やるじゃん。
For a kid.
若いの
Don't touch him.
手出しすんなよお前ら！
I'll answer the challenge of this suicide attacker.
特攻野郎の心意気に応えてやろうじゃねぇか！
It's one-on-one.
サシの勝負だ！
All right. Bring it on, kid.
さー！どんと来い！おチビちゃん！
One-on-one, and unarmed?
サシで素手…
Don't underestimate me.
ナメやがって！
Oh, he was aiming for my wrist.
手首を狙ったのか。
Good job, kid.
やるなぁ！おチビちゃん！
I can see why he's so confident.
いい気になるわけだ。
With a body and fists as big as his,
あの体であの拳…
I'd be dead with one hit.
一発もらえば死ぬな
I like you.
気に入った！
I'm going to have some fun.
オジさんはりきっちゃうぞー！
What?
なにっ！
Take that.
おらぁっ！
Oops.
おっと！
Damn.
チッ…
That was close.
危ねェ危ねェ
I can't reach him.
届かねェ！
All his weak points are up high.
狙える急所の位置が高ぇ…
Below his armpit.
わきの下…
His neck.
首…
All right.
よし！
He's low.
低い…！
So...
なら…
I'll kick him.
蹴る！
Run in there.
突っ込め！
That hurts.
痛ってェ～～！
But I got you.
でもつかまえたっ！
You did it.
おお！やった！
Great, captain.
いいぞ大将！
Kill him.
殺せーっ！
It's not over yet.
まだまだァーッ！
Here we go.
ぃよいしょーっ！
Oh, dear.
あちゃ～。
This won't work.
だめだこりゃ。
Thorfinn's getting beaten to a pulp.
コテンパンだなトルフィンの奴
I guess it wasn't going to work.
やっぱり無理だったか
Yeah.
Askeladd.
アシェラッド。
That's the signal.
合図だぜ
Yeah. Then it's time to retreat.
おう。そいじゃ退却だ
Retreat.
退却ーッ！
Withdraw all units.
全軍退けー！
What? No.
しまったぁ～。
The battle ended while I was playing with the kid.
チビと遊んでるうちに戦が終わってるじゃないか
Hey, kid.
お前、
It looks like they abandoned you.
見捨てられちゃったみたいだな。
Poor kid.
かわいそーに。
Even though you tried hard.
がんばったのになァ
What? Is he dead?
あれ、死んだかな？
Hey.
オーイ、
Hey. Hey. Hey.
オイ！オーイ
You still haven't lost the will to fight?
まだ闘志を失わないか。
You're good, even though you're small.
小兵のくせに大した奴だ
Warrior.
戦士よ。
Tell me your name.
そなたの名を聞こう
Thorfinn.
トルフィン…
Son of Thors.
トールズの子、
I'm Thorfinn.
トルフィンだ…
Thors?
トールズ？
Hey. Thors? Do you mean...?
あ、あ…おいおい！そのトールズって…
Oh, there he goes.
あー…いっちまった…
Captain, your orders?
どうします大将？
Shall we shoot him?
射ちますか？
Don't shoot.
やめとけ。
We'll let him go today.
今日は逃がしてやれ
Hey.
おーい！
Warrior Thorfinn.
戦士トルフィンよーい！
That was fun.
楽しかったなー！
Let's do this again.
またやろうなー！
Let's finish things off next time.
今度はケリつけようなー！
Promise me.
約束だぞー！
That hurts.
いってぇ…
Kill me, please.
殺してくれー…
Does anyone want to be killed?
とどめ欲しい奴いるかー？
I can kill you.
とどめ刺すぞー
He's not going to make it.
ダメだなこいつは。
He's been stabbed in the gut.
はらわたをやられてる。
We can't save him.
もう助からん
Hey. Bring some onion soup over here.
おーい！こっちにも玉ネギスープくれー
Torgrim.
トルグリム！
Take care of this.
こっち頼む
I see.
そうか…
So, we can't capture London.
ロンドンは陥ちぬか…
No.
いえ…
It's not that we can't capture London.
陥ちぬわけではありませぬが、
It will just take some time.
少々時間が必要かと…
Time? How much time, Floki?
時間とはどれほどだフローキ
Yes. It depends on the size of their stockpile.
は。ロンドンの兵糧の備蓄量にもよりますが…
One year.
1年…
No. A half-year, if things go well.
いえ、よくすれば半年で…
It's already autumn.
もう秋だ。
We cannot spend so much time on just one city.
たかが町ひとつにそのような時間は割けぬ。
The overall situation is most important.
肝要なのは大局だ。
In everything we do,
何においても
we must prioritize gaining control over all of England.
このイングランド全土の掌握を優先せねばならん
Yes, sir.
はっ
We shall move our main forces to the west.
本隊を西へ移動させる。
Leave 4000 soldiers
ロンドン包囲は
to continue the siege on London.
兵4千を残して続けさせよ
As you wish.
御意のままに…
The 4000 soldiers will be under the command of...
4千の指揮は…そうさの…
Canute.
クヌートに任せよう。
This is a good chance to boost his standing.
あれの男ぶりをあげるよい機会だ
What?
なっ！
That's not what we agreed upon.
話が違うではありませんか！？
The reason His Highness came to serve as a good example for the people.
殿下のご同行は民にしめしをつけるためと！
That's what you said.
そう仰せられたはず！
Ragnar. Please, refrain.
ラグナル殿。お控えなさい！
This is His Highness's will.
陛下の御意思ですぞ
Against Thorkell, even the entire army stands no chance.
トルケルには全軍ですら敵わぬのです！
To defeat him with only one-fifth of the forces...
その5分の1の兵力であたるなど、
It's impossible.
ご無理です！
Having so few men is the only way to help him.
そのくらいでなければ薬にならぬ
But...
で、ですが！
His Highness is unfamiliar with battle, and is experiencing emotional distress.
殿下は慣れぬ戦場で心労も重ねられて…
This is your responsibility, Ragnar.
お前の責任でもあるのだぞラグナル。
Maybe it's because of the teachings of Christ.
キリストの教えのせいか、
He grew up to be faint of heart, even though he's a man.
あれは男のくせに妙に気弱に育ってしまった。
It's because you spoiled him.
近習のお前が甘やかすからだ
I apologize.
申し訳ありません
To Canute, I shall leave the soldiers laying siege to London.
クヌートには包囲軍の将を任ずる。
You shall accompany him, and provide support, as his assistant.
貴公が付き添い副将として補佐せよ
Your Highness...
殿下…
My shoulder is dislocated.
肩が外れてる…
And my right ankle is sprained.
右足首はネンザか…
And I have a few broken ribs.
あとアバラが何本か…
Damn it.
くそっ…
That madman.
あのイカレ野郎が…！
Hey. Can you see them?
おい見えるか？
Most of them have retreated.
奴らほとんど引きあげてってますね
What?
は！？
Does that mean...?
てことは…
Did we...
オレたち、
win?
勝ったってこと？
We won?
勝った？
-They ran away with their tails between their legs? -Then we have won.
しっぽ巻いて逃げたって？ んじゃ、やっぱ勝ちじゃん
What?
なんだよ…
What's going on?
どうしちまったんだよ！
We did it. We won.
やったー！勝ったぞー！
What?
え～っ！？
We won.
Hey, hey.
おいおい！
Hey.
おい！
Let's fight some more.
もっとやろうよー！
Hey. Hold on.
ねぇ、ちょっと！
Hey.
おーい！
You idiots.
バカヤロー！
Are you giving up on London?
ロンドンは諦めるってのかー！？
Come back, you cowards.
戻ってこい腰ヌケーッ！
Fight me.
オレと戦えェーッ！
Oh, what a pain.
あーあ。めんどくせぇな。
Thorkell, you bastard.
ったくトルケルの野郎め…
Hey. What happened? You're alive?
おい、なんだお前。生きてたのかよ。
You look terrible.
あーあーヒデェさまだなァ
You had a bad opponent, Thorfinn.
ま、今回は相手が悪かったなトルフィン
By the way, I'm going to march on Wessex. What about you?
ところでオレらウェセックスへ進軍するけどどーする？
If it hurts to walk, I'll just leave you here.
歩くのがつらいならここへ置いてくけど
We're going to get rich in Wessex.
ウェセックスじゃあ稼ぐからな！
I can't wait.
腕が鳴るぜ！てめぇ
-You only got one arm. -I can handle anyone.
片腕ねーじゃねーか 誰でもかかってこいってんだ
I'll kill them all.
ブッ殺してやっぞー！
That was fun.
楽しかったなー！
Let's do this again.
またやろうなー！
That madman.
イカレ野郎どもが…！
What's so enjoyable about battle?
戦の何が…そんなに面白ェんだ…！
