After the shocking events related to the election for the king of all Norway, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) will have to deal with the consequences in “Vikings” Season 6, episode 6. A preview video of the next episode has been released online, and it shows how King Harald Finehair (Peter Franzén) may be the perfect politician to rule over everyone.

Harald acted as though he supported Bjorn, but he worked against him in secret. Now, he appears to be plotting to eliminate all remaining threats to his rule over Norway.

According to the official plot synopsis of the next episode, Bjorn will be forced to act quickly after the election. The preview video shows that the son of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) will not be taking a proactive step to claim the crown of Norway that rightfully should belong to him, but instead he will be reacting to a threat to his life.

After winning the elections to become the king of Norway, Harald appears to be sending assassins to eliminate Bjorn in the middle of the night. The situation looks grim for Bjorn in “Vikings” Season 6, episode 6 because he is heavily outnumbered.

Another preview video of the next episode shows a quick recap of how Harald was elected the king of all Norway. While he had the numbers, thanks to his backdoor negotiations with the others, he personally voted for Bjorn to pretend as though he was loyal. With the night attack in the next episode, will Harald prove to be a formidable politician that no one will be able to stop?

A full video of the election has been released online by History. It remains to be seen how Bjorn will deal with this betrayal.

Meanwhile, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) will deal with yet another attack. This time around, she and her fellow warriors will have even more complicated traps setup to repel the enemy. However, the result of the battle will be determined by a duel that Lagertha will fight personally.
