To Hel

Now King Atli urged his men forward into a forceful charge, and the
fighting was fierce. Gunnar and Hogni attacked so hard that King Atli
was forced back into his hall, and the fighting continued inside and
became extremely violent. The battle caused huge loss of life, and it
ended with the death of Gunnar and Hogni’s entire army, so that the
two of them were fighting alone, and many men went to Hel who were
sent there by their weapons.

Now King Atli’s men set upon King Gunnar, and because of their
massive advantage in numbers they were able to capture him and put
him in chains. Then Hogni kept fighting with great energy and reckless
courage, and he killed twenty of King Atli’s best champions. He shoved
many of them into the fire that blazed in the middle of the hall. They
all agreed that they had never before seen such a man. But in the end he
was overwhelmed by their numbers and put in chains.
