About a day's southwest of Dugu City is a small town called Dragon Bridge, named after the nearby stone bridge that spans the Kas River with a huge dragon head carved on the arch, and is the only way to get to Dugu City, if you don't count the wharf shipping.

Before the official rebellion of the Storm Cloak, this was a strategic point that had to be defended, and the barracks of the Imperial Legion had been established when it could not be called a town, and the subsequent gradual establishment of inns, lumberyards, farms and mills, etc., were originally intended to provide support for the legionnaires.

Now, due to the continuation of the Stormcloak Rebellion, the current Emperor of the Empire, Euselle Septin II, had the idea of coming to Skyrim to settle the matter himself, and his personal guard legion, the Sharp-Eyed Eagles, came to ensure safety first, and the town of Dragonbridge was their chosen location.

The town's inn was called "Four Shields", which was originally intended to express the sense of security under the protection of the Imperial Legion, but at this time, the proprietress Feida was hiding behind the counter and did not dare to venture out.

Compared to other villages, where there were only one or two symbolic guards, it was much safer to walk down the road and pass by the Imperial soldiers at any time, but it would be very bad if the Imperial soldiers were divided into two groups and faced each other in their shops, and it looked like they were about to fight.

"Look, who is this?" Tacilius said mockingly: "Is it a little ghost who cries his nose and goes home to find his father after being bullied?" ”

Tasilius was the commander of the sharp-eyed eagles in the barracks, with gray-brown hair, a fierce appearance, and a muscular build, and the weight of the Imperial armor was barely felt on him.

"I don't have time to quarrel with you, Tacilius," replied Palathos, "and I have the right to take with me anyone from my scout force." ”

"All the things you 'have the right to take' are in Dugu City," Tasilius folded his arms, "and now they are in my hands—or do you want to be deserters?" ”

The Commander glared at the lightly armored scouts behind Palashos, all of whom avoided his gaze.

Not...... A battle for command? Feida hid behind the counter trying to understand what they were saying.

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to call them, and this is the nearest barracks," Palacos retorted, "I think I should have the privilege of asking any barracks to assist in the mission." ”

"Ha, privilege," Tassilius sneered, "if Her Highness the Princess had passed by as before, I would have to provide horses and guards to keep up, but now that Her Highness has come to my jurisdiction and is ready to clear a cave under my control, it is up to me to decide what kind of help she will provide." ”

"You heavy armor will only startle the snake, what if the other party runs away?"

"What to do? That is, of course, a cleanup success. ”

"I have nothing to say to you!"

"I'm not going to hear it."

What the? Princess? Feida sneaked out from behind the counter and saw at a glance the little girl sitting at the table by the wall, completely ignoring the two sides who were arguing, slowly savoring the doughnuts and honey fruit feast.

The girl ordered a lot of desserts at lunchtime, which impressed her, and the miller's youngest son, Colin Ravi, and his dog were also attracted and fed.

At this time, due to the dispute between the sharp-eyed eagle legions, all the guests have run out, so the girl who is still sitting here quietly is naturally the princess in their mouths, although the skin is a little darker, and the hair color is a little strange, but it is really cute.

“…… Can't run away. When Fida heard the girl speak, her voice was neither crisp nor hoarse, neither condescending nor attractive, and sounding as ordinary as the neighbor's little daughter, but the two commanders, who were glaring at each other, immediately stopped arguing.

"Then, allow you to draw this group of scouts," Tasilius glanced at the light-armored sharp-eyed eagle behind Palathos, "I will arrange for the heavily armored soldiers to surround the cave in case any target escapes." ”

"That's good—" Palashos was interrupted halfway through before he could finish his sentence.

"But, I'm going to go in with you," Tacilius turned to the girl by the wall and patted his armor vigorously, "A vampire's claws can't tear through this kind of heavy armor, and that little white-faced light armor isn't so strong." ”

"Hey, don't take the opportunity to slander me because the princess doesn't talk much." Palasos was very keenly aware of his bootleggings.

Bloodsucker? Fida ducked back behind the counter, listening to their tones as if they were still close? Holy Spirit bless –

“…… Good. Her Royal Highness replied.

——15:00——

Longqiao Town is strategically important because it is not only the city of Dugu, but also the vast forests and mountains to the north, which are home to numerous lumberyards, farmlands, and mines, as well as prisons for some special prisoners, Somo embassies, and secret military ports.

As a result, the Imperial military camp stationed here has always been well aware of the conditions in the area, such as the "Moonpine Cave" where Her Royal Highness the Princess is going, which was originally called the "Moonpine Mine", named for its production of moonstone and the pine forest outside—in fact, there are more caves and mines without a name.

"There are many such mines in the mountains, but they are all in the archives of the sharp-eyed eagle," Tasilius led the heavily armored soldiers in front of him, explaining to Princess Emilia who was following closely behind, "If there are robbers or evil mages or even vampires who have secretly used them as strongholds, it is difficult to spot them immediately - provided they have not committed criminal acts." ”

“…… Well. Emilia looked around as she walked, subconsciously clutching Tassilius' heavily armored cloak.

Oh, Thasilius smirked at Palashos, and the lightly armored scout captain snorted away.

The members of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle Legion knew that the Emperor's little sister liked only two kinds of people, a tiger-backed bear-waisted like Tassilus, or a clear-eyed Parathos, and a tiger-backed bear-waisted and clear-eyed ...... Is that some new breed of Demon God?

His Majesty the Emperor, who is neither a tiger with a bear waist nor a beautiful eyebrow, is a tragedy, and wants to be close to his sister but the little girl dislikes him, and that picture has become the daily entertainment of the sharp-eyed eagle who stayed in the imperial capital, and when it comes to staying in the imperial capital, the commander of the other half of the sharp-eyed eagle is a strong competitor for the two of them, and if Princess Emilia sees her, she will completely abandon Tacilius and Palasos and run over, and her characteristics cannot be imitated at all - it is a majestic, intellectual, and cold woman whose weapon is a giant sword and long sword.

"Spread out the siege." Tasilius commanded.

The Moon Song Cave is less than an hour away from the Dragon Bridge, proving that the vampires inside have just migrated over and are unfamiliar with the situation, because even the most stupid local bandits would not choose a cave so close to the Sharp-Eyed Eagle camp as a base site.

"Then, Your Highness Princess, it's up to me first—huh?" After the heavily armored soldiers laid a siege around the cavern, Tassilius prepared to report to Princess Emilia, only to find that she had disappeared.

"You're probably mentally retarded." When he raised his eyes, he saw that Palacos had rushed into the cave first, and taunted him casually, "Have you forgotten that the princess is a man of action?" ”

"Phew." Tacilius didn't have time to talk back, and followed in stride.

——15:30——

The walls of the mountain or the caverns underground, as long as they are built artificially rather than naturally, will be in a strange ring, that is, no matter how deep you go into the mountain wall or underground, the end of it will eventually be located near the entrance, and you can easily exit through the entrance by opening some secret doors, which is obviously designed to be able to escape in time, and such a secret door is almost impossible to detect or open from the entrance, and the encirclement arranged outside is to prevent those enemies who may escape from the secret door.

Tassilius strode into the cave, his eyes had not yet had time to adjust to the darkness, and as soon as his feet sank, a meteor hammer fell on his head, and he shouted to block it, and then he saw Palathos with a poor face not far away by the faint light of the torches in the cave.

"You don't have to come," Parasos shook his head, turning to go deeper, "Neither the princess nor I, nor any of the scouts, could have triggered such a rudimentary trap. ”

"Hmph, you can't stop it if you encounter the inevitable trigger." Tacilius looked at the slight dimples in the Imperial Iron Arm Armor and snorted and followed.

As Palacos said, none of the traps along the way were triggered, but all the enemies had already been killed.

On the one hand, she is keen to save anyone she comes into contact with, and the executioners of the imperial capital will give up the beheading when they see her, but on the other hand, they show no mercy to the "enemy" she defies.

For example, the new vampires in this cave may just be the homeless or the farmers and miners in the vicinity, who may have just been converted and saved, but all of them were wiped by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Who did it this time?" "I, after all, your heavy armor can't do such a thing."

Tasilius thought for a moment and agreed.

When the princess first arrived in Skyrim Province, she had already established a good reputation for preventing Atta from slashing people without doing anything, as for where all the robbers were killed and none of them lived, which necromancer's stronghold was completely wiped out, this kind of thing should be thrown to the sharp-eyed eagle.

The two sharp-eyed hawks in heavy and light armor clean up traps and vampires who are better avoided by the princess.

"Ah, see who this is? Two 'heroes'? I think you're ready to embrace death. "In the deepest part of the cavern was a rudimentary chapel, and since the other vampires had died while they were out fighting the enemy, there was only a middle-aged black-robed man who looked like a senior blood clan, and he turned and looked at Thasilius and Palacus as they stepped into the chapel with yellow eyes.

Poof, sting.

With two soft sounds, the veteran vampire was pierced through the heart and his throat was slit, and he stretched out his hand to point at the little girl beside him who appeared as if he wanted to say something, but in the next moment it turned into a ball of flames.

"Hmm...... Mission accomplished. Tasilius looked around: "I'll have to clean up this place after that." ”

"'Moon Song Cave' confirmed 'empty'." Palathos listened intently to the arrests and shouts coming from outside the cavern, and echoed.

Her Royal Highness was holding a prepared container to pick up the falling vampire ashes.
