Young Odda persuades Mildrith to leave for safety with him. A severe storm decimates Guthrum’s ships that were approaching the Wessex coast. Alfred sends one army led by Odda the Elder to the Severn River to face Ubba, and one to the south of Wessex to face Guthrum. Uhtred finds Odda’s army camp and suggests to him that he sets fire to Ubba’s ships, as a distraction, on condition that Odda attacks Ubba’s army as soon as he sees the fire. Young Odda tries to persuade Odda the Elder to break his promise to Uhtred and use the fire distraction to abandon the camp and bring the army to Alfred’s battleground. Odda the Elder chooses to attack. Ubba discovers Uhtred in his camp and challenges him to a fight to the death. Uhtred kills Ubba, placing his axe in his hand before he dies. Odda’s army attacks and defeats the Danes, but he is seriously injured in battle. Uhtred goes to Odda’s estate to see Mildrith and his son. Young Odda steals Ubba’s axe before he is buried and implies to Alfred that he killed Ubba and saved Wessex. Uhtred, furious at the subterfuge, draws his sword before Alfred and faces death.
Uhtred puts himself forward for a daring stealth mission to outflank the Danes and destroy their ships, but in the process he attracts Ubba’s attention and is challenged to a one-on-one fight to the death.
