Wells Lanting is assisting other comrades at Pelagia Farm in the investigation of the yak's disappearance.

The farm's only two cattle disappeared within a month, and there was no sign of a wildlife attack, and while the farmer had the financial resources to buy new cattle, it would be tantamount to throwing money into the White River if he didn't find out why they went missing.

"There was no movement at all," the farmer explained to Ella, who was half-crouching, "and the cow was gone, and the stupid dog and the chickens in the coop were unresponsive, and the farm workers must have done it!" ”

Huntress Ella, the leader of the operation, has long shawl hair as bright red as a flame, a tall and athletic figure, a fur hunting suit made according to the standard body proportions of the Imperial or Nords, but when worn on her, a section of wheat-colored skin will be exposed on her arms, thighs, and waist, adding a bit of wild beauty to her, if she is not always completely covered with paint, the suitors can probably line up from the moon to the snowy door.

In fact, the outline can be seen through those paints, probably a heroic face that is very similar to her style.

It is said that Ella comes from a female-dominated forest tribe, where women are all good hunters, and for them, the terrifying face pattern is also a weapon, which is usually washed off only for the object of their affection, and it is clear that no one in the group has seen her face face in the sky at the moment.

Today, for example, she drew three huge scratches on her face, the realism and ferocity of which surprised even Wells when he was prepared, but Ria clapped her hands and cheered.

"Unfortunately, sir, this is not what you think." The huntress let go of the farm's hound and straightened up: "The cattle thief is most likely a giant, and your dog is frightened. ”

"Giant, giant?" The farmer's eyes widened: "Aren't those guys only interested in mammoths?" ”

"Excuse me, did you feed them very strong and tall," Wells interjected, "and at first glance they look like mammoths?" ”

"Oh...... Of course," said the farmer after a pause, and said in a very proud tone, "they are better fed and more robust than the cattle of the petty farms around them, just like my crops." ”

Is this the time to elevate your identity? Wells sneered.

"So, there's good news and bad news, which are you going to hear?" Ignoring the farmer's boasting, Ella said to him.

"That'...... Okay. The farmer hesitated.

"The good news is that a slightly larger yak is considered a mammoth, and the giant may be a cub itself," Ella said, "and it's relatively easy to deal with." ”

"So, bad news?"

"The bad news is that after bringing the yak back to the gathering place, the older giant who knows the goods will kill the yak directly, and it will have to go out again to look for it, which is here." Ella gestured to the empty bullpen.

"What? Will it come? The farmer began to sweat on his head, "But I don't have any yaks anymore." ”

"Are you going to reason with the giant?" Wells said, "You have only two options, keep buying the yak until the giant grows or migrates, or hire us to kill it—"

"But you've accepted the commission...... "The farmer tried to bargain.

"Your commission was to find out the beast that attacked the yak, so we only had two people," Wells shook his head: "If you want to fight the giants, this number is simply not enough, and we will have to pay more commissions before we can send more people." ”

The Brothers-in-Arms are the most famous warrior group in Skyrim, their predecessor is the 500 heroes led by the ancient hero Sgrammer, who fought throughout Skyrim and expelled all the elves who occupied Skyrim at the time, and Sgrammer's weapons earned him the title of "Elven Slayer".

Their stronghold was the huge shack "Moon Vaska" on the mountainside in the middle of Xueman City, or rather, the Moon Vaskar that surrounded the Brothers-in-Arms, which in its glory days had thousands of warriors and actually ruled the Skyrim Province.

However, with the passage of time, the glory of the comrades-in-arms is gone, they are now more like a group of mercenaries who accept commissions, the only difference is that they can decide for themselves what kind of tasks to accept, and if there is a guy who is entrusted with a crime or evil deeds with a fluke mentality, they will only be beaten up and handed over to the guards.

In the recent civil war between the Imperial Legion and the Storm Cloak, Snowman declared its neutrality, and neither side dared to attack it, also because they were afraid that a rash attack on Snowman would push their comrades to their opposite, but this fragile balance was difficult to maintain all the time.

"More than two people~and me~," Ria said, brandishing the dagger in her hand.

"Yes, yes, and you." Wells chimed in.

Ria is the current leader of the Brothers-in-Arms, and Colak Whitemane has personally arranged it, and it is said that he saw a prophecy in her and asked the warriors to train her as much as possible.

But how to train a ten-year-old girl who holds a dagger as if she is wielding a one-handed sword? The first priority is to let her grow up first, right?

"Okay...... I'll pay an additional 500 commission, please add more people as soon as possible. The farmer looked at Ria and Wells, who was taking care of her, gritted his teeth and said, although there are two people who can be counted as fighting power, but in order to take care of the child, I am afraid that it can only be counted as one and a half.

"Wells, I'll continue to scout the giant's whereabouts here, Wells, you take Ria back to Xueman—" Ella paused in the middle of her words, and turned to look in the direction of the road leading to Brookwood: "—Take Ria and the farmer into the house and hide." ”

There was no need to ask why, the huge figure that was nearly three meters tall and was rushing towards him wielding a huge bone stick already explained everything.

"Obviously," Ella narrowed her eyes at the figure fleeing in front of the giant, "someone has moved your cow, and the giant is chasing him." ”

——12:00——

"Don't follow the main road! Come here! As the pursuer approached, Ella called out to him.

I have to say, that man is very smart, Wells thought, he ran along the Z-shaped route all the way in view of the giant's large size and inconvenient turning, and the giant who could only chase in a straight line with a tendon of mind had already distanced themselves by the time he lost his target and found his figure to chase after him.

However, this method could not completely get rid of the giant, due to its height and long legs, it was very fast in a straight line, and if one was not careful, it would be chased, and the man's deflated shoulder armor and vanished helmet proved that he had been hit at least twice.

"Whoosh-poof-" Ella flew an arrow and stabbed deep into the giant's arm, but the giant raised his hand and pulled the arrow out, an unnatural sight that made her a little sluggish.

"Don't bother, I've tried along the way—" said the fugitive, taking time to run this way, "Shoot a whole pot of arrows, and you can't help this guy." ”

Blonde and blue-eyed, a typical Nord, but too thin for other normal Nord males to suffer in a tough fight, Wells glanced at the fugitive, raised his shield, and struck the hilt of his sword vigorously in an attempt to attract the giant's attention.

The giant seemed to have a deep hatred for the fugitives, and even though the number of people had increased to three, he still refused to give up, and stepped over the stone fence on the side of the road to approach this way, trampling all the crops in the field into the mud along the way.

"My cabbage and green onions!" The farmer hid in his house and wailed.

"And potatoes and tomatoes—" Rie cried out in a playful manner.

"Deduct from the commission!" Ella shouted behind her, then looked at the fugitive, "Draw your sword, warrior. ”

"My name is Arthur, and I was going to lead it to the city gate and hand it over to the guards," the fugitive picked up the steel two-handed sword from behind his back and looked at Wells' striped shield: "How should I cooperate?" That guy was so powerful that he couldn't parry or block his attacks. ”

"I guess you used to be a hunter," Ella looked at Arthur as she fired two more arrows that made the giant roar, "and didn't learn to fight systematically." ”

"Hmm...... That's true, in fact, this is the first time I've been to Xueman," Arthur picked up his two-handed sword and aimed at the giant who was already not far away: "Can the greeting wait until the battle is over?" ”

"Barely qualified as a warrior," Ella said to Wells, "you go first, and we'll be there." ”

"Wait? I said it can't be blocked directly......" "We know it better than you do, Mr. Arthur. ”

Wells took a breath and raised his shield to charge at the giant.

If it was an adult five-meter giant, he and Ella would have to retreat temporarily, probably to the position of the snowy city wall and ask the guards to help, but this is only a cub, and its height and strength have not yet reached the point where quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.

The giant was in a state of rage, completely ignoring whether the human in front of him was the one who killed its "mammoth" and shot arrows at it all the way, and smashed the huge bone rod down with his hand.

"Drink!" At that moment, Wells accelerated forward, almost rushing into the giant's arms, and then swung his shield at the giant's elbow in this temporary safe space that would not be swept by the club.

Click! When!

With the power of the giant's own swing and the power of Wells's shield slam, the arm was broken, and the huge bone rod fell to the ground, and when it howled and tried to grab Wells with its other hand, Ella's arrow arrived again, although only slightly blocked, but it was enough for Wells to hold the shield out of its range.

The perfect coordination of the shield hand and the archer was fatal to the giant, who had no sense of battle at all, and even if it finally approached Ella a moment later, it did not have the strength to punch or kick, and fell to the ground with a deep wound cut in the back by Arthur.

"Wild Road." After asking the farmer to call the Snowman Guards to clean up the mess, Ella commented on Arthur's performance: "You may be able to lurk and hunt the fiercest beasts in Skyrim, but you have absolutely zero experience in head-on combat, and at most you can bully some spiders, wolves, and robbers with thick armor and heavy swords."

"Hmm......" Arthur couldn't refute, he paused before asking, "So, where can you learn the skills of frontal combat?" ”

"Comrades," Ella grinned, "Moonwaskar welcomes you." ”
