A question for the hive mind

How many vikings are too many? Or, more accurately, how many viking attacks can you stand within one book? I need at least two, for plot reasons, but I don't want to be boring.

This comment... Either make them different or make people's reactions to them different.

In the Seven Samurai (or the Magnificent 7) there are two bandit raids, one at the start with no resistance, one at the end with resistance.

You might have a third with partial resistance and horrible retribution just to add motivation, but I think that would probably be enough.
