Chapter 339: War and Peace

My name is Akatosh,

There is a kind of loneliness, called "I ordered F2 but didn't have an option A".

—4E, 201, Frostfall Month, 1st, 03:19 -

Wintercastle, under Sattar, there is a small meeting taking place.

Among the participants were Sibili Stint, the court mage of the Dulone City, Tovdil, the master of the Wintercastle Mage Academy, who was nominally affiliated with the Stormcloak, and Movas Pirien, the leader of the unidentified wild vampires.

If they wanted, they had the strength to change the situation in Skyrim Province, but thankfully, none of them would care about the change of authority among mortals.

"You should have felt the situation of the Lord God and the First Ancestor, right? What do you think? Hebili spoke first.

"What can you think, when they make a 'silver hand' kind of unstylish organization, they will inevitably get such an outcome." Movas replied uninterestedly, "Do you want a piece of the pie?" Then I wish you success. ”

"Ha, there is a being who wiped out the vampire god along with the Primordial Maharaja, but did not inherit the name of 'Morag Barr', what do you think I can't see? I'm not going to throw myself into the net. Sybilia scoffed.

"Since you're not here to bring me in, why did you come all the way to Wintercastle? Leave your little princess alone? Movas gestured in the direction of Dugu City.

"Although there will be no conflict, I don't want to appear in front of the sharp-eyed eagle, and there are enough people who spoil her, not one of me," Cybili paused: "I naturally came to pull you in, but I didn't want to share the power left by the demon god, you know, during this time, the news of the fall of various demon gods has gone viral, but except for the side of Marcus City, which is quite detailed, the other news is not true, and sometimes it contradicts itself, but this time the 'fall of the demon god' that we can directly feel has confirmed those rumors." ”

"What do you mean......" Movas sat up slightly.

"Now that those demon gods who like to stir up trouble have taken care of themselves, then we can build a second floating city, and this time no demon god will not hesitate to activate Morrowind's volcano to shoot it down." Sybil turned his head to look at Tovdil, who had been unable to speak: "We plan to let the Mage Academy fly, you have no opinion, right?" ”

"There are opinions! No more stupid names like 'Umbriel'! ”

"Okay, what about 'Dalaran'?"

"Hmm......"

——7:19——

"That's, that'...... Ace? Eddie, dressed in a beautiful little gown, summoned up the courage to call out to Esgael beside him.

Today, Dugu City will hold the wedding ceremony of "Princess Emilia" and "Second Son of the Snowhoof Family", and after the wedding, the two will go to the capital province to invite the nobles and royalty there to make up for it again.

As a result, more than half of the Cloak's combat power disappeared directly, and Uffric could only fight for his own family if he wanted to continue to fight against the Empire, but it perfectly fulfilled the princess's wish to "quell the rebellion".

However, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, this wedding is basically to show what it means to "make the pig arch with good cabbage", and it is also a black wild boar with a big head, even if someone dares to say "It's actually quite a match", it will be drowned in verbal criticism.

In the midst of the chaos, Eddie falls into a premarital phobia.

As a stand-in for the princess, she had long expected that she might die for the princess one day, or that she would have to marry some nobles for some political purpose, but pretending to be a princess and marrying someone she liked? And because of this, Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia can no longer appear in front of people? Even those who knew the truth, such as His Majesty the Emperor and Grand Commander Tuka, said that they didn't care about it, but she couldn't get past it herself.

"What's the matter? Wife? - Well, it doesn't seem like you can call it that, so again," Esgael smiled at her with a goofy smile, "What's the matter, dear?" ”

Wearing a special wide dress, coupled with festive accessories, even the originally very vicious face softened a little, and then smiled slightly - probably can still scare the crying child.

"......" Eddie's cheeks flushed, and he kept repeating one sentence in his heart: You will regret it! You'll regret it! You'll regret it!

No, there was a faint but firm voice that said that if I didn't say it, I would really regret it, and forever.

"I, I'm not a princess, and I'm not called Emilia......" In the wedding lounge with no outsiders, Eddie's small voice barely came far before it was dispersed by the noise coming from outside.

"Huh? What did you say? Esgail raised an eyebrow.

"I said I wasn't a princess......"

"No, the second sentence."

Wait a minute? Shouldn't you be furious at the first sentence? Add looked at Esgail's expression carefully, but couldn't see anything.

"I'm not called Amilia?"

"And what's my wife's name?"

"Add, Addy Septin......"

"Oh, I know, I won't call you Emir in the future, I want to think, how about 'Xiao Ai'?"

Eddie was completely dizzy, and had made great efforts and mental preparation before deciding to speak, but it seemed that he didn't mind at all?

"You, aren't you angry?"

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to be angry if your appearance is a change."

Esgael reached out his big hand, touched her head and pinched her face.

"It's true! Otherwise, how could he be chosen as a princess stand-in! What I'm asking is that you're not angry that I'm not a princess! Add grabbed the hand directly.

"Why be angry, the princess doesn't like me, but you like me."

"Huh......"

Esgail patted Eddie's little head again: "As for me, I can sense other people's feelings for me, the real princess is just 'curious' about me, but you are 'like'." ”

"I ...... You ......"

"A teacher told me that if a woman is curious about a man, then it is not far from liking it, so I was going to try to pursue it, and I met you, just to save some trouble."

"So you like princesses too?" Add's thoughts instantly returned to flow: "What if you pursue success?" ”

"Ah, what do you say, what kind of person do you think I should like?" Esgael avoided answering: "At least in the eyes of my parents, I should like that big ~ beauty ~ but I just think it's scary." ”

The big black man made an unusually exaggerated expression and compared the two S-shaped curves with his hand, and the corners of Eddie's eyes twitched.

"What I like is like a ...... Skinny and small, a bit dark, but cute type like you and princesses. This emergency evasion probably exhausted the wisdom of his life: "I'm not sure, but this type probably won't like me." ”

"I just like it!" Add had completely forgotten what he was trying to question him.

"Hey, that's good." Esgail lifted Eddie and placed it on his shoulder, "Let's go out and tell everyone." ”

"Put me down! Don't go! You big fool-"

——10:17——

Xueman, Longxiao Palace.

Lord Bargulf was frowning from the dragon platform at the back of the palace as the dragon flew sporadically in the sky.

Since the appearance of the legendary "Alduin", the number of dragons in the sky has gradually increased, from the beginning of a group of "dragon slaying warriors" to compete for a dragon to now even if each person has a surplus, but no one dares to fight, only a few months have passed.

It is said that both Morningstar and Phocles were attacked by dragons, and due to the existence of the famous building of the Dragon Palace, those dragons did not dare to get too close, but they also refused to stay away, so that there may be problems with the production of the surrounding farmland.

"Lydia, we haven't heard from our baron yet?" He asked the shield-wielding girl behind him.

"Not yet." Ladia replied.

When Baron Arthur was out on business and left her guards behind, according to the rules, she should be on standby in the Baron's mansion "Wind House", but it is now occupied by the comrades-in-arms, because several of the comrades-in-arms are also waiting for the baron's return.

As a result, Lydia had no choice but to come to Longxiao Palace during the day to work part-time as a former lord's guard, and only go back to live at night - after all, those impure little girls didn't dare to live in the Wind Mansion.

The rush to get Arthur back wasn't because he wanted him to deal with the dragons, because he couldn't fly.

In the case of constant friction between the Imperial Legion and the Storm Cloak, and local conflicts break out from time to time, it is possible for either side to suddenly turn around and send troops to capture Xueman, at that time Barguf can only focus on the attacking side, and if the people on the other side take advantage of the fire to rob, he has no way at all, Elires and Holongana are at most just generals, and it is impossible to deal with the details of this kind of national battle, although he does not have a deep understanding of Arthur's talent, but presumably he will not disappoint himself.

"Your Lord! , Windhelm's Ufric Stormcloak delivers a letter and ...... An axe. "There are guards coming to report.

"Heh, sure enough, he couldn't hold his breath first," Bargulf shook his head, turned around and walked towards the front hall of Longxiao Palace.

Giving an axe to someone is an ancient Nord tradition, which means to confirm that a neutral person is "friend or foe".

If the recipient accepts the axe, it means that he has accepted the gift of a friend, and the two sides can basically reach a consensus, and there is not much contradiction, but if the axe is returned as it is, this behavior means that the two people have chopped each other with an axe, and the two sides have irreconcilable contradictions, and they have officially become enemies since then.

Obviously, due to the fact that the Snowhoof family in Rift City has broken away from the Storm Cloak, and the attitude of the Black Thorn Family, the real power there, has become uncertain, the strength of the Storm Cloak has shrunk by half in an instant, and he must launch an attack before the disadvantage turns into defeat.

It should be the stand-in who got married, could it be that the princess is also like Arthur, involved in something that can't get out of it for the time being?

Whether it is war or peace, Barguv still has dozens of steps to consider.
