Askeladd cutting a body with helmet in half and Thorkell throwing a spear from kms away? Lol that is such a reach.
This chapter was very intense though and we could see Askeladd's sword and combat skills. Plus fighting on snow is twice hard when you're alone and surrounded.
Thorfinn to the rescue, there is no other way.

Well, most of the written sources from this time can be found in texts like sagas where accounts were described heavily exaggerated. If anything, the author is staying true to the sources. Most nations had these type of "heroes" of their time which often were able to slay mythical beasts and creatures as well lol
