You need to kill a bunch of them, and then a chicken tornado will be summoned to attack you. Also, break pots, there are valuable gems within.
m8 he's a Sturgian not a viking.
And before you say he's a "nord" the Sturgians are based on the Kievan Rus.
No human with the ability to think and make decisions based on logic would take an axe to horseback fighting.
It was not uncommon in the medieval ages at all, there were even axes made expressly for this purpose.
"Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland, used an axe to defeat Henry de Bohun in single combat at the start of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Given that Bruce was wielding the axe on horseback, it is likely that it was a one handed horseman's axe. They enjoyed a sustained revival among heavily armored equestrian combatants in the 15th century. "

Wrecked!
Even lances and spears on horseback were single use most if not all the time. And it's a goddamn axe not a sabre for pete's sake, how do you expect to pull it out, you'd either let go of the axe or drag the whole body with you, if you've the strength. It's vastly inferior to the alternatives in reach as well.It was not uncommon in the medieval ages at all, there were even axes made expressly for this purpose.

Nice theory. Reality seems to have had a different oppinion than your purely theoritcal appraoch, so i'd guess you're wrong?
I mean i also don't know why we had 'Black Riders' (armored horseman with frontloading flintlocks), as that sounds ridiciously bad, given how you've to reload such guns. But it existed for a short period.
Here's an exert that may shed some light
"In earlier ages the axes taken to a battle were the same ones used in everyday work That, however, is not the case with this axe; it was made for war. The down curved, wedge shaped blade coupled with the curved shaft made for a very powerful cutting arc that could shear through mail and badly damage the simple plate that was in use at the time. When reversed, all of the force of the blow was concentrated on the back hammer poll and could crush a helmet. In the hands of a mounted knight this type of heavy headed axe was devastating to men on the ground and on horseback alike. It could split mail helms and shields, and the extended back poll could easily crush bone. The curve of the hardwood shaft added to the power of the blow. An excellent fighting axe and a devastating “high-tech” weapon for its age."

My take on it is sure, lances or spears are great but as you said once you've used them once or twice they've exhausted their use and you pull out something else you have on your person. Also I imagine not all engagements with infantry are charging at them from a distance at full speed, what are you going to do with someone at your heels when you have this overly long weapon? Might not be the most practical thing.
I never claimed, or meant (since my first comment is semi-ironic anyways) axes were never used on horseback, I'm saying it wouldn't be a preferable option due to nature of horseback fighting, and the design of axes. I'm just gonna copy and paste a comment on a reddit thread as it does a good job at explaining:
Maybe a pole axe? Though even that may be too heavy to manage on horseback and again has the same issue of being stuck in the enemy unless you use the blunt hammer side. Besides heavy polearms weren't used on horseback to my knowledge, as the cavalry's purpose isn't being anti-armour.
I killed a chicken, and no one tried to kill me
dont worry. Every chicken (that is not a chicken) that you kill gets reborn as a dragon. They are now in route to hunt you down. Better to write your will and choose your heir, and fast.
And so would be an axe, theoretically, it is an axe. It is meant for chopping, not slashing, so it will get stuck in the enemy, it'll hurt him badly especially when you've the momentum and speed of a galloping horse, but the axe'll stay with him as well.
If your horse is stopped, that can only mean bad news. Firstly you've lost your advantage in speed and mobility, your horse's body is exposed and you're very limited on the angles you can defend yourself from let alone your horse, and there are probably a whole line of pikemen surrounding you poking you and your horse. Yeah.

Well to my knowledge the main idea on how to counter a heavy cavalry charge has been mostly a counter charge with your own heavy cavalry in the medieval times. Correct me if i'm wrong...
Other than that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Horseman's_axe_-_1475.jpg <- horsemanns axe. And most likely used to fight heavier armored enemies. As the surface of impact is different from swords it's effectiveness is supposedly better. But who knows...

We get it, you're autistic. It's cool.
If we're talking just any old axe then yes of course it'll just get stuck, but horseman axes and other battle axes were designed specifically for war as was pointed out by my previous reference didn't have this problem.
Axes, swords and maces were all solid choices as far as what to use after you're done with your lance, it depended on what you wanted to do. Fighting people who are lightly armoured? Sword. Fighting people who are very heavily armoured? Mace. Want the option to do both? Axe. My previous point of the lance/spear just being used for "the opener" is also historically supported.
"The lance as primary weapon pierced the enemy. If an enemy soldier was hit in full gallop by a knight's lance couched under the armpit, he was thrown backwards with such a momentum that he knocked over several of his compatriots, and was more often than not, killed; in some cases, the lance would even skewer the man and kill or wound the soldier behind him. The heavy lances were dropped after the attack and the battle was continued with secondary weapons (swords, axes, or maces, for example)."
Cavalry tactics - Wikipedia
Haha then you're in even a worse situation with an axe, as your opponent will be armed with something like a long lance that can multiply its force combined with the horse's speed. An axe is not helping you with that one, unless you throw it but it's unlikely you'll hit him, even if you do it's prolly gonna be the blunt wooden side.
