215 powder keg
Looking at the information on the projection map, the six people in the hall were silent, and Sawyer even felt a sense of relief, fortunately he didn't really drag the council until this winter, otherwise......
Glancing at the "colorful" patterns on the map again, Sawyer couldn't help but shudder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The entire map is centered on the Snow Tower, or the peak of Khosga, and spreads out in all directions, showing the entire Skyrim Province, as well as the Hammer Province, High Rock Province, Cellodil Province, and Morrowind Province bordering Skyrim Province.
Among them, the three largest and most conspicuous symbols, lined up on the map from west to east, are the Iron Dragon, the White Horse and the Wind Bear, the west envelops the Iron Dragon of the four collars of Hafengal, Ruichi, Yar Border and Phocles, representing the power of the empire in the Skyrim Province, and in the middle, the white horse with a range like high boots is naturally the Snow Man side to which Sawyer belongs, and the east is like a crescent moon that envelops the three collars of Eastern Mirror, Winter Castle and Rift, which is naturally the Storm Cloak led by Ufrik.
And between the two territories of Phocles and Rift, there is a small narrow gray area, representing the buffer area of the empire and the storm cloak, looking at the separated empire and the storm cloak, Sawyer also felt a little strange in his heart, he had fought for this situation for nearly half a year, but he didn't expect it to be achieved in such a dramatic way.
The colors represented by these three icons occupy almost more than half of the entire map, representing the official power of Skyrim Province, and in addition, there are nearly ten chaotic colors filling this map.
To the east of the map, in the mountains at the junction of Skyrim Province and Morrowind Province, a pure black color occupies a small area, and there is a hideous dragon head floating on this black, representing the power of Alduin and the dragon's scourge, in addition to this place, in various parts of Skyrim Province, there are many black dots hidden in the shroud of the three major forces, but when Sawyer was busy with the civil war, the dragon has gradually awakened on this continent.
To the northeast, a bright yellow color full of evil aura occupied the entire North-Soul-T Island, and the white bone mask floating above Soulam Island represented the army of believers under Milak, and in addition to the stronghold of believers on Southam Island, there were countless bright yellow dots distributed on the entire map, but Milak had quietly spread his tentacles all over the world!
Similarly, in the northeast, the direction of Valhach Castle was shrouded in blood, and the forces represented by the blood-red bats naturally needless to say, and with the same power as Milak's believers, these blood-red vampire forces have also spread all over the continent, and the number is even several times more than that of Mirak's believers!
Looking at the dense black, yellow, and red dots under the three major forces, Sawa is almost suffering from dense phobia, and Skyrim Province has been able to be safe until now, and it has not been blown up, it is really strong!
However, this is not all, in addition to these scattered forces, there are many forces that have gathered together to lurk on the edge of Skyrim Province, like the jackals next to the old and sick dragons, once the dragons are no longer majestic, they will rush up and eat the dragons.
However, after glancing at these strands, Sawyer found that he seemed to only know one of them, but it was this one that made all the hairs on Sawyer's body stand up, Somo!
Looking at the bright golden cloud not far south of Skyrim Province and the northernmost part of Celeordir, the symbol that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, Sawyer's body couldn't help but tremble a little, and he pinched his fingertips a few times before he forcibly calmed down.
(Impossible, all my actions at that time should have been erased by the power of elimination, and there was no living mouth or third party, so there was no way that Somer would have known what I was doing!) )
Sawyer kept admonishing himself in his heart, and after comforting him a few times, he finally let his heartbeat return to the normal range, and his body gradually returned to calm.
Sawyer pointed to several forces on the edge of Skyrim Province and looked at Ayngail, "Master, what are these?" ”
"Don't worry," Ayngail glanced at Sawyer with a smirk, "The things you did haven't gotten out yet." ”
Didn't get it out?
Sawyer pursed his lips, if it really hadn't been spread at all, you wouldn't have said that.
However, Ayngail's words still made Sawyer breathe a sigh of relief, since Ayngail said that it was not passed on, then Somer must not know about himself, this master of graybeard who is full of discipline will not lie to himself.
He cast a puzzled look at Ayngail, who slowly explained.
The bright golden power represents the Ancestral Divine Prefecture, but it didn't arrive recently as Sawyer thought, but it had crossed Cellodil early in the morning, and it had been lurking in this area in March this year.
"March? Civil war? ”
"That's right."
Aiingail nodded, but it made Sawyer silently grit his teeth, this group of Sommer is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
"And what about these?"
Sawyer pointed to the western part of Skyrim Province, on the border between Skyrim Province and Falling Hammer Province and High Rock Province. But these marks seem familiar......
"These are mercenaries."
Ayngail said a word, and Soyer suddenly realized that those patterns around the emblem were not exactly what mercenaries used to distinguish ranks!
With Eingail's explanation, Sawyer gradually understood, but his brows became tighter and tighter.
Mercenaries and mercenary groups are different, although those large mercenary groups will also accept war missions, but the vast majority of income still comes from various adventures and escort missions, while mercenaries are different, they have been established for war since the beginning of their appearance, and now that the platinum treaty has been signed, the empire and the ancestor Shenzhou have shaken hands, and the entire continent has entered a period of recuperation, and the mercenary group is still active, and the life of this group of mercenaries is getting more and more difficult day by day.
No war, it means no task, and no task, it means that their brothers are hungry, seeing that the wealth accumulated before is getting less and less, the mercenary leaders of the whole continent are all worried, and for example, the civil war in the province suddenly broke out, which immediately attracted the attention of the mercenaries of the whole continent.
When the war was still in its infancy, Barguf hired all the large, top-notch mercenary groups in Skyrim Province, as well as several mercenary troops, so that the mercenaries in Skyrim Province ate their first bite of meat.
And with the beginning of the war, Tullius issued a summoning order to Celeordir, killing all of Celeor's mercenaries, and recruiting all of them to Skyrim Province, while Ulfrik could only gather a few Terran mercenaries from Morrowind Province, which he hated the most, due to geographical restrictions, as for those stronger Dark Elf mercenaries?
Not to mention that Ufric didn't want it, even the dark elves themselves didn't have the slightest affection for Ufrik, so naturally they wouldn't come all the way to help Ufric fight.
Regardless, the mercenaries of Celerodil and Morrowind ate their second bite of the bone.
But then the mercenaries from the other provinces have been gathered, and you have eaten the meat and the bones, so you have to leave us a mouthful of soup, right?
At this time, although the mercenaries in other provinces were secretly anxious, they still had a calm expression on the surface, and everyone knew in their hearts that as the war progressed, the soldiers were injured and killed one after another, and even if the people who started the civil war were unhappy, in order to win the war, they had to hire them to join the war.
But just when this group of mercenaries sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for Tulius and Oufric to invite them, they suddenly found that the battlefield led by Phocles seemed to have become tepid?
This group of guys doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but secretly they have been paying attention to the main battlefield located in the lord of Phocles, especially the daily battle damage reports of the two major forces, and the leaders of each mercenary army are silently calculating in their hearts, and they all plan to wait until the loss of troops on both sides reaches a certain level, and then take the initiative to attack and send their goodwill to Tulius or Ulfric.
After all, this is only a civil war in the province, and even if there is a blood feud between Tulius and Ulfrik, they cannot afford to hire mercenaries from the entire continent, so it is extremely important to seize the moment at such a time.
However, when the leaders of this group of mercenaries were calculating in their hearts, they found that there seemed to be something wrong with the battle damage report on the battlefield, and the battle damage of Phocles was getting lower and lower, and later, the battle damage report was even full of injuries, and there were only a few reports of death in battle.
What the hell is this? Could it be that Tulius and Oufrik are playing match-fixing? Phew, is it a fake war? Or did we read a fake war damage report?
After a group of mercenary leaders confirmed the authenticity of the battle damage report, they immediately panicked, in fact, to determine the authenticity is just the unwilling struggle in their hearts, where do they not understand, whether it is Tulius or Ulfrik, one of the two must not want to fight, and even, these two people have plans to truce!
How can this work?
We have waited for so many years, and finally waited for a war, how can you stop it if you say stop!
However, no matter how unwilling the leaders of the mercenaries were, the civil war in Skyrim Province became more and more weird, and in the end, it simply became a joke like a family, which made this group of mercenaries sad.
However, before they could figure out a solution, the vampire incident suddenly broke out, and the two major legions returned to the dynasty one after another, and several major mercenaries also returned to their hometowns with large commissions, making mercenaries in other provinces red-eyed.
However, no matter how greedy they are, none of the mercenaries came forward to rob their commissions, not only because of the constraints of the rules of the industry, but more importantly, these mercenaries who took over the war mission can also be called giants in the industry, and none of the mercenaries are sure that they can maintain a certain degree of personnel attrition when they are taken.
If you fight hard to grab the commission, doesn't it just give other peers a chance to rob in the open?
It wasn't just one of the crazy mercenaries who first announced that if Tullius didn't pay a certain price, they would have to claim their own payment from Skyrim, causing other mercenaries to issue notices one after another, in addition to Tullius and Ulfrik, and even a few of them also issued notices demanding payment from Barguf!
In these days, undisciplined mercenary groups can turn into bandits and robbers at any time, isn't it normal for these mercenaries to threaten war to ask for a reward?
After all, after experiencing a continuous civil war, the Oathbreaker Rebellion and the Vampire Raid, the Ruichi Territory is now the weakest territory on the periphery of the entire Skyrim Province, and the mercenaries will naturally gather here.
With the passage of time, these mercenaries have also formed four forces, namely the mercenaries of Luohammer Province led by the sword dance mercenaries, it is said that several high-level members of the sword dance mercenaries are the inheritors of the sword singer, but their strength is not good, and they dare not use the name of the sword singer, so they took the name of the sword dance.
The mercenaries in Gaoyan Province are headed by the Blue Wolf Legion, compared to the sword dance mercenaries who are famous for their swordsmanship, the Blue Wolf is famous for their overall strength, they are the most complete types of mercenaries, the largest in scale, and the strongest in tactics, and it is said that the overall strength can equal the elite troops of the same number!
The Wood Elves of the Valen Forest are divided into two factions, one of which is biased towards the Ancestral Divine State and is also stationed in the southern part of the Vorkris Territory, close to the secret residence of the Somer Legion, while the other is extremely hostile to the Ancestral Divine State, led by the Mercenaries of the Children of the Forest, each of whom has a powerful animal companion.
It's just that this mercenary group, led by the Children of the Forest, does not intend to plunder the property of Skyrim Province, but simply to stop the actions of the other faction.
As for the tigermen's hometown of Acewell and the black swamp of the Argonians, there were no mercenaries coming, the former was not a large-scale mercenary army at all, and most of the tigermen who left their hometowns were active on the entire continent in the form of mercenary groups and caravans, while the latter heard that there was something wrong with the Sister Divine Tree, and all the Argonians in the Black Swamp were inspired, and they would not be able to take time to participate in this plundering feast.
In addition to the large number of forces, these forces with ill intentions towards the Skyrim Province are also terrifying, the number of the four mercenary groups is as high as more than 30,000 people, and the number of vampires and believers active in the Skyrim Province adds up to more than 5,000 people, and although the Sommer Legion is only a secret operation, it also has a scale of 2,000 people, not to mention those almost invincible dragons!
It is said that Igmund, the lord of Rich, recalled all his forces to the city of Marcas, and Tullius also left a large number of Imperial soldiers in Phocles, presumably hearing some rumors.
Even Ulfric, who is far away in the eastern part of Skyrim Province, has issued a series of defense orders, you know, if this group of mercenaries goes crazy, it is not something that a Richie Leader can satisfy!
It's just that the current Skyrim Province ......
"It's a king-sized powder keg!"
Sawyer groaned, he now had the urge to turn around and leave, what if the eight lords ((1)) gathered at the peak of Hosgar, stimulated the group of mercenaries, and ignited this powder keg?
(1) If the province is still the Nine Great Lords today, it's just that Sawyer habitually ignores himself.
