My name is Akatosh,

I'm going to complain about this jump channel!

—4E, 201, Frost Moon, 2nd, 10:03 a.m.

Dugu City, Blue Palace.

Former "High King" Toig accompanies the last seat in the living room.

With His Majesty the Emperor here, he naturally has to give up the throne, the "princess" and the prince - or the concubine? Naturally, he also has a higher status than him, as for the Snowhoof family over there? They are now members of the royal family, plus the guards around them have all been replaced by sharp-eyed eagles, and their commander is still standing, so compared to the other minor nobles who have been kicked out, it is already good to have a seat for themselves, isn't it?

"Your Majesty, do you know? There are ...... around Rift City Where do we ...... The lord's arrangement is ......" Esgael Snowhoof Balabala said endlessly, and Toig noticed that the current head of the Snowhoof family, Ulwulf Snowhoof's face began to turn blue.

Maybe he thinks that if a son who is not very wise and usually does things is boring, there are more advantages than disadvantages if he marries a princess, but he didn't expect that someone would change a lot once he got married, where is this not good at words? Everything said about the military and political arrangements of the city was to the point, and if the Imperial Legions wanted to attack the Rift Valley now, it would be almost no different from fighting an empty city, and even the non-caring Toig felt a cold sweat.

But if you think about it carefully, it is also a matter of course, Princess Emilia is born with a very high affinity, which makes anyone have a good impression of her, and Eddie, even if she is only a little influenced, is considered to be extremely charming among ordinary people, and yesterday's wedding was also very successful, and there are no unsightly assassins to cause trouble.

As for what happened after the wedding, although there was a bit of a disparity in physique, Toig didn't speculate much out of the self-control of his elders, but looking at Esgael Snowhoof's appearance of swearing allegiance to the empire today, and Eddie, who was usually almost as noisy as Emilia, was holding hands with Lilith Snowhoof and whispering at the moment, and his face was crimson...... Well, I guess we got along pretty well.

Looking at the younger generation who has already appeared on the stage of history, Toig suddenly wants to go to the back house to meet his wife "Blonde" Aliciphus, due to the busy affairs of Skyrim Province, the two of them have never had a chance to have a child, but now it seems that peace is in sight, and this matter should almost be on the agenda.

"Report - Snow Man Military Intelligence!" A sharp-eyed hawk scout shouted outside the chamber.

This was obviously for the Snowhoof family, and if they weren't there, the scouts would have come in and report it directly, and they opened their mouths to be "Big Sister", Toig glanced at the door.

"Come in!" Jagmi took two steps towards the door.

"Report the Big ...... Commander," one of the scouts walked into the chamber and handed her a folded love newspaper, "Stormcloak captured Phocles, but gave way to Morning Star, and the 'Amor Castle' east of Snowman shows signs of Stormcloak rally. ”

The scout didn't keep his voice down, it was clear that this wasn't secret information, and most of what needed to be kept secret in this case was only in the information newspaper in the Grand Commander's possession, but even so, it was enough to shock Thoig.

It seems to be just an exchange of cities and places, but it directly puts Xueman into the "pocket", the support in the south is interrupted, and the natural barrier between Morning Star and Wintercastle makes it not have much garrison value there, so it also cuts off Xueman's passage to the north for help, at this time, the Imperial Legion wants to support Xueman, and can only go along the main road from Loristed in the west, and the Storm Cloak must be ready to disrupt......

"Let Tasilius continue to garrison the Grey Swamp fortress, but remove all camouflage and raise the Imperial flag." "Don't get a step closer to Xueman unless Barguf sends a messenger to ask us for help. ”

"But General Tullius and Governor Regie are not under our control?" The scout recorded the order and asked.

"Tell them that this is also my will." The Emperor threw a sentence from afar.

"Yes." The scout salutes and exits as soon as he finishes recording.

It seems that the Imperial side decided to take the opportunity to force Xue Man to choose a side, and the timing was also very clever, just when Storm Cloak couldn't bear it and decided to strike first...... No, they can't bear it, they must have only been inflated by the success of the legendary "Sawtooth Crown", this silent infiltration operation has been quietly going on since the failure of the mission to capture the crown, and the skirmish on the eastern border of the snow man is just a show for both sides.

Toig thought for a moment to understand what was going on, and then was dismayed to find that his political and military talents needed to be improved, and it was better to find an opportunity to abdicate and let Hyun go home to raise the next generation.

——13:47——

Snow-filled city, winding area.

It was a rare good day, there was no wind or snow, and after lunch, Nahim, dressed in an old aristocratic dress, wandered around the city as usual, ignoring the passers-by and the guards who were far away from him, and persistently chatting with those who had not accidentally avoided him.

Although most of the residents of Xueman laughed at him as a fake nobleman who loved vanity, was full of lies, and deserved to be beaten, why didn't they want to think about it, "impersonating a nobleman" was a crime and should be locked up and whipped, but so far those Xueman guards had arrested him?

Moreover, what right did the bald civilians who lived in the Plains District have to laugh at him for building this house in the Winding District? Even if it's the location of the ancient fort, it's a winding area!

As for the status of nobility, those commoners must not know that under the noble titles with a long tradition such as duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, there are also two purely military titles of baronet and knight, and he Naqim is the "Junker" under the knight!

Although this title was granted by the lord due to the good operation of the farm, the payment of more grain and taxes than other farms, and the deprivation of the grain supplied to Xueman in any given year was less than a certain standard, but it was also a veritable nobleman!

With this status, he can enter and exit the Longxiao Palace freely, and although he is not allowed to approach the lord at will, he can give him all kinds of opinions and eat in the hall, which is enough to show off to those civilians.

However, to put it bluntly, "I have been to Longxiao Palace and spoken to the lord, you must show respect to me!" "Such an act is too stupid and easy to provoke disgust, so it is necessary to ask questions, hints, and knock on the side to make the other person think that he is a nobleman in front of him, and naturally express respect, well, that's it, he thinks he is simply too smart.

"Friend, have you ever been to Genting? Oh, what am I talking about, of course you haven't been. Nachem said to Heimsko in front of the altar of Talos.

"Ah~[Talos]~ You have been sublimated from man to god, but you have maintained human humility~ have never asked for our faith~ But how can your people renounce their faith in you because of your humility-" Heimsco, dressed in a pale yellow hooded robe, completely ignored him.

"The commoners here don't know how to respect a nobleman at all, you know, if a person can be called a nobleman, he must have made a much more important contribution than the commoner, don't you say?" Nachem continued to babble and tried to go to Laheimsco's arm.

"The Holy Spirit is above~ You are not anywhere but everywhere, you don't need any prayer but you will help anyone who really needs help~ You are the god of gods, the ninth Holy Spirit~ The great [Talos]-" Heimsky raised his hands in prayer to stop Nachem from approaching.

"Boom!!" There was a deafening loud bang at the main gate of Xueman, and at the same time, the ground shook violently, and Naqim, who was unsteady on his feet, felt that his ears were buzzing for a while, and he could not hear anything.

“——”

"Enemy-Attack!"

The dizziness faded, and Nachem began to hear the shouts of the Snowman Guards, who were suddenly attacked, but still gathered in a hurry and began to build up their defenses in place, with the sound of massive action in the distance.

"Empire? Or a storm cloak? Naqim looked confused, if he was to choose, he would not support either side in this civil war, because no side could give him a noble title because of the good cultivation of the land, and maybe all the grain would be forcibly expropriated as military rations......

"Wherever the attack comes from, they must be driven away," after thinking of this, Nachem somehow got the courage to stand up and stretched out his hand to Hemsko, who had fallen to the ground: "If your [Talos] is not available, we will do it ourselves!" ”

"How dare a mere Naqim say that?" Heimsco grabbed his hand and stood up, but seemed to casually say something seriously insulting: "The followers of [Taloth] are never afraid to fight!" ”

Sa! Sa! Sa!

As if to confirm their words, several huge boulders whizzed high into the air, smashing straight into the winding area, one of which was aimed at Natsum and Heimko.

"See, hell......" Although Naqim had made up his mind to fight for his title of "squire", his legs trembled in the face of the boulder falling from the sky, and he was completely unable to take a single step.

"Talos is on top—" Hemsko, who barely exercised in front of the altar of Talos all year round, was no better.

【Wisdom: Straight Death Demon Eye】

The moment the huge boulder fell, it suddenly turned into a cloud of powder, and Natsum and Heimsco were sprinkled with their heads and faces, and they didn't know what to do.

"During the time we left, the storm cloak was blown," a slightly hoarse but very pleasant woman's voice sounded behind them, "It's good that the teleportation exit is a little off, otherwise we won't be able to catch up, at least a few houses will have to collapse." ”

As he spoke, several other falling boulders eerily stopped in mid-air, then flew straight upwards and disappeared from view.

"It's only a matter of time," said Nachim's unusually familiar voice, Baron Snowman, Arthur Pendragon, "so it seems that they have to be repelled as little as possible by avoiding casualties." ”
