Chapter 129: Storm Cloak
"Although the family is good, but the people of Skyrim are still in dire straits, how can I cherish the comfort of home. So, not long after you left, I went back to Stormcloak's headquarters. It's not far from Winterhold, just south of Windhelmet City, I heard that brother, you actually have the ability to enter Winterhold for further study, so I came to visit you. ”
When he fled from Helgen, Li Mu's hands were stained with the blood of many Imperial soldiers, but Larov was not afraid that Li Mu would betray him, so he simply said the location of the headquarters of Storm Cloak.
See? In Li Mu's mind, this may have been a reason for Ralov to come to Wintercastle, but it was by no means the most important.
Sure enough, seeing Li Mu eating his own dinner with no intention of talking, Larov couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but continue: "Of course, I came to you for some other reasons. Brother, you may not know that it wasn't just the two of us who escaped from Helgen in the first place. The leader of our Storm Cloak has also escaped, maybe you don't know him, but he wants to meet you, so I wonder if you are interested, brother? ”
Having said so much, it turned out that he was planning to recruit himself.
Come to think of it, when I fled from Helgen, I was just a small pharmacist, so it didn't matter much. But now, Li Mu not only has an additional dragonborn identity, but also joined the Winterkeep Academy, and has recovered the dark elves.
He is much more valuable than the humble apothecary at the beginning, and follows Larov to Stormhelm City to meet the leader of the Stormcloak, Ulfric.
The man standing in front of him was about fifty years old, two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, short brown and yellow hair, an angular face, and bright eyes, wearing a blue robe with a natural hem of a cloak made of wolf skin behind his back.
Seeing Li Mu follow Larov in, the serious face on the face of Ufrik, the Lord of Windhelm City and the leader of the Storm Cloak, immediately disappeared.
The most enthusiastic smile bloomed on the old man's face, and he saw him personally walk down from the throne, grabbed the stunned Li Mu, and greeted him cordially: "Storm Cloak, welcome Li Mu, you are welcome to join!" It seems that the true god Talos still favors us Nord, and our Storm Cloak has never had a wizard willing to join us. Now that you're here, brother, I, Uffric, will entrust you with the task of serving as the court wizard of Windhelm City. ”
Court wizards? This position is obviously not as important as Ufric said, it seems that his identity as a dragonborn is really scary!
It's been more than half a year since he came to Skyrim, and Li Mu also knows that the palace wizard is also a staff position, and he doesn't have any real power. Being in the big rear, there will be no chance of making a contribution at all, absolutely safe, but it will definitely not pose a threat to the lord.
Using himself, but not believing in himself, Storm Cloak leader Ufric has indeed not lived for nothing for decades. Knowing the other party's plan, Li Mu had his own plans in his heart, and on the surface, he happily accepted the position of court wizard, and accepted the arrangement that Ufric made for him with peace of mind.
Unlike Wintercastle, which snows all year round, Wind Helm is a year-round storm that leaves the entire city dirty and dusty. Li Mu stayed in the villa that Ufrik arranged for him, and he was not usually summoned, so Li Mu was too lazy to go out at all, and continued to stay at home and repeat the experiment of alchemy.
In particular, Li Mu refused the participation of the dark elves in the war, and Li Mu could deeply feel that Oufrik's enthusiasm for him had plummeted.
Just when Li Mu thought that he was about to fade out of Uffric's sight, the war between the storm and the empire gradually became clear, and the storm cloak, with the support of Li Mu's massive alchemy potions, had already attacked the foot of Snow Man City.
However, as the strongest war fortress on the front line of the empire, Xueman City has enough soldiers and food, high walls, and the command of lord Barguf, it is far from being easily breached by some field strongholds.
Although Li Mu didn't contribute much, the massive alchemy potion helped Storm Cloak win several stronghold battles, and at the critical moment of the attack and defense of Xueman City, Li Mu was still called to a meeting by the city guards.
Speaking of fighting, Li Mu is no stranger, whether it is the original eight-year Anti-Japanese War or the end of the biochemical era, Li Mu has also experienced a lot. But the leaders and generals of the storm cloak present obviously didn't take themselves seriously, so Li Mu was too lazy to do much, and hung up high without saying a word.
The whole hall was chaotic, like a street vegetable market, and each general shouted his own strategy at the top of his voice, striving to be the first to send troops to win the first prize.
After fighting the Empire for twenty-five years, Ulfrik has a lot of experience in fighting, and the lord of Snowman, Barguf, is also an old acquaintance. He has some strength, and Ufrik knows very well that before Li Mu came, he wanted to be equipped or not, and he wanted medicine and no medicine, and even Ufrik himself was ambushed and almost died in Helgen.
Now that the situation can be reversed and the empire is defeated, in addition to the Storm Cloak warriors who are not afraid of death, Li Mu's massive alchemy potions are the foundation of victory.
The more valuable Li Mu is, the more Uffric attaches importance to it, and at the same time, the more jealous he becomes. If it weren't for the fact that Snow Man City was really difficult to capture, Ufric really didn't want to invite Li Mu to the meeting.
There is nothing wrong with the strategy of the generals under his command, but all of them need to sacrifice a large number of warriors as a basis, even if they capture Xueman City, it is a miserable victory, and they have no combat strength to continue the attack. As long as his side begins to recuperate, Dugu City, the center of the empire, will definitely send troops to counterattack, and it is meaningless to occupy Xueman City for a while.
Raising his hand to signal his generals to shut up, as the leader of the Storm Cloak, Ufric stood up from the oval conference table, stared at Li Mu who was sitting at the end of the seat, and said: "You are all warriors of the true god Talos, we Storm Cloak fight for Talos, fight for the Nords, fight for the Skyrim, we are all warriors who are not afraid of death. But no matter how many soldiers die in battle, if they can't capture the snowy city, they will only sacrifice their lives in vain.
Therefore, at this critical moment, we should listen to the opinions of Li Mu, the messenger of the true god Talos, and the court wizard. For Nord's sake, for Skyrim's, Li Mu, do you have any good advice? ”
Isn't it just for money and women? As for saying it so lofty?
For the sake of Nord, for the sake of the sky, such a big name is pressed, Li Mu is not good to continue the old god, looking around at Uffric and many generals who are staring at him, Li Mu smiled modestly: "I'm just a wizard, that is, I can still do alchemy." I don't know much about such a major national event as war, so it's better not to express my opinion.
However, in order to liberate the poor people of Xueman City, I, Li Mu, have achieved some results in alchemy these days. I have developed a new potion that can permanently alter people's physical fitness, doubling the strength, speed, and agility of our warriors, and I have named this potion the T-virus. ”
