He can not return to me again, as there will be no more safety for him among his own countrymen after having once been a guide for you.

When, therefore, you reach the camp, present my son to your king, and ask him to receive him into his service.

He can not come again to me." Ulf promised very earnestly to do all this and much more for his protector; and then bidding the father farewell, and leaving him in his solitude, the two adventurers sallied forth into the dark forest and went their way.
After various adventures, they reached the camp of the Danes in safety.

Ulf faithfully fulfilled the promises that he had made.

He introduced Godwin to the king, and the king was so much pleased with the story of his general's escape, and so impressed with the marks of capacity and talent which the young Saxon manifested, that he gave Godwin immediately a military command in his army.
