As the third season of Vikings begins, Ragnar Lothbrok and his fellow Vikings have returned to Kattegat victorious but fractured. With the death of Jarl Borg, Ragnar and his friend Rollo are on the outs, and tensions are high between the two. Meanwhile, Bjorn Ironside is just beginning to come into his own, anxious to prove himself to his father and his people.

As Ragnar deals with these interpersonal issues, he also must turn his attention to the greater political landscape. King Horik of Denmark has a new opportunity for Ragnar: he aims to capture the city of Paris, but he needs mercenaries to do so. Horik wants Ragnar to put together a team of warriors to join his own army and lead the charge. Ragnar agrees, but he knows that this is a risky proposition. Paris is a heavily fortified city, and there is little chance of success without the right resources and strategy.

To make matters worse, a group of foreigners have arrived in Kattegat to offer their services as mercenaries to anyone who can pay. They are called the "Einherjar," and they are a fierce group with a reputation for devastating violence. Ragnar is wary of these newcomers, but he knows that he needs all the help he can get if he is to mount a successful campaign against Paris.

As Ragnar and his people prepare for battle, they are beset by interpersonal conflicts, scheming and betrayal. Floki, Ragnar's closest friend, is still reeling from the death of his own father, and he is having trouble making sense of his place in the world. Meanwhile, Lagertha, who has returned as a powerful and respected leader in her own right, is facing her own challenges. She must defend her position and her people against a renegade group of warriors who are threatening her authority.

As tensions mount, Ragnar must lead his team into battle against the heavily fortified city of Paris. Along the way, they must confront not only the physical challenges of battle but also the opportunities for political maneuvering and betrayal. Will they be able to succeed against all odds and capture Paris, or will they fall in battle, victims of their own hubris and bad luck?

Filled with exciting action, complex interpersonal dynamics, and political intrigue, "Mercenary" is a thrilling start to the third season of Vikings. Fans of the show will be delighted to see their favorite characters facing new challenges and growing in unexpected ways, while newcomers to the franchise will be immediately drawn in by the show's blend of historical accuracy, gripping storytelling, and jaw-dropping cinematography. Whether you're a fan of historical battle epics or simply love a good drama with plenty of twists and turns, Vikings is a must-watch show for anyone looking for top-tier entertainment.
