Follow a spy and when the time is right, use your newly acquired weapon to kill the spy.
You will find two more spies in a camp on a nearby hill. You can kill them in any way you like, discreetly or in open combat.
Return to the village and go to the harbor where you will meet Sigurd and his father. Give them the information about the spies and then you will be able to convince Styrbjorn that you should attack the village where the spies came from.
Get in the boat and sail to the village you want to attack - "Nottfall". Start the raid.
The fight against enemies in the village will start. You have to destroy the wagons with supplies located in the village. You can do this by throwing torches at these wagons. Be careful not to stand too close not to get hit by the explosion. However, a quicker way will be to shoot from the bow to the red vases standing near the wagons or on them. Your companions will also be destroying the wagons so you do not have to destroy them all personally.
When you destroy all the wagons, a few ships will sail to the village.
Go to the docks. When you get there you will find that it is King Harald who has come to help you to attack Kjotve's fortress. No matter what you say, Sigurd will accept his offer and you will automatically travel to Florli, where the next quest will begin.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest A Cruel Destiny.
