Chapter 337: Loyalty and Betrayal

So, Marwen agreed to Erli's request very neatly, and she also calculated that even if she didn't become a lord, the empire would definitely not let herself suffer in this confrontation.

And to make this demon owe a favor, even if she can pay it back, it is not a bad thing for herself and the Black Thorn.

The Empire and the Stormcloak have each received news from the Dragonborn, and the Stormcloak has no objections, as the current situation is not promising. Moreover, even if there were opinions, they who supported the Nords could not refute it, because Graybeard's prestige and Dragonborn status were enough in the hearts of the Nords to make the opposition disappear.

The Empire received a suggestion from the de facto controller of Lonely City, and the connection between the Dragonborn's identity and the Septin Dynasty forced them to accept the proposal. In addition, the empire does not want to suppress the bottom line of the Nords again, once the Nord culture is ignored again, the entire skyrim may really be reversed.

So, through an exchange of emissaries and letters, the two sides determined when to hold a peace conference on the Hogarth Peak, and this brief peace lasted only until the Dragonborn killed Auduz.

"So, you did it."

Waiting at the gate of the main hall, Aiengail looked at the arriving dragonborn, and seemed a little dissatisfied that these people from the world had disturbed the tranquility of the Hogarth Peak.

"These violent men came together to seek peace across the cold stones.

I really shouldn't have agreed to this meeting, Greybeard had no right to get involved in such a thing. ”

Despite their words, the Greybeards were better able to see Alduin's defeat and power, and they knew that the Dragonborn needed help, and their Mentor had acquiesced in it, so they did so.

"Don't worry, I'll let them live together peacefully."

"Peace? I suspect that they may lay down their arms for a while, but they are only preparing for the next conflict.

They won't get tired of war, never. Do you know the Guunod description of war?

'All seasons as usual'

… That's exactly what happened. ”

Of course, everyone knows that such a peace cannot exist, that one side has an advantage, and the other side desperately needs victory.

Naturally, Halfena knew this, but shrugged her shoulders and looked at the rabbit she didn't know where she had picked it up.

"But... It is useless for us to regret it, because we have come.

Take a seat at the conference table, and let's see what these Skyrim warriors have to offer. ”

Before the words fell, the door of the main hall was slowly pushed open again, and two people walked out, and they looked a little murderous.

"Delphin?"

The Dragonborn couldn't help but be surprised, Blade and Graybeard were originally incompatible, but now they didn't expect the two teams to finally get together.

"Isbon?"

And when Ellie saw that it was the old man who had been in the Rat Path, after hearing the news of the Dragonborn and the fact that Alduin had returned, he immediately disappeared from Aery's known news.

"So, Ayngail, is that it?

You know why we're here, let's be honest, do you let us in or won't you? ”

The woman in the armor didn't give Greybeard the respect he deserved, and her tone was quite unkind.

And this Delphine, Erli also looks a little familiar, and if you look closely, it seems to be the masked woman who was with Faren when she retrieved the dragon stone.

"You weren't invited here, you're not welcome here."

Looking at the attitude of the Greybeards, it is also-for-tat, but at least, they will not make the first move.

"We have the same rights as you at this meeting. Not only that, but in fact we brought the Dragonborn here."

"Really? The arrogance of the Blade Warrior is truly endless. ”

"Delphine, we're not here to relive old scores."

The old man reminded, but his eyes were on Ellie, as if he had always felt like he had seen her.

Although the two had not been in direct contact, in fact, Ispen had seen Ellie, of course, casually.

The old man stepped forward and said unhurriedly to Graybeard.

"The problem at hand needs to be solved urgently, Alduin must be stopped, and if you don't agree, you can skip the meeting.

We are well aware of the current format and the threat that Alduin poses to all of us, and you need us here if you want this meeting to be successful. ”

Apparently more eloquent than Delphine's aggressiveness, Isbourne's steady statement is more eloquent, and they point out the fact that Greybeard has been isolated from the world for so long that they have no way of understanding the current world and politics, and what the situation is really like.

Moreover, the four Greybeards also understood this, and Eengail looked at the three masters around him, and they also nodded, and then replied.

"Very good, you can go in."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are they so unruly to everyone? ”

Holding the little rabbit, Ellie whispered to Halfena on the side.

The latter thought about the time when she met Delphine and couldn't help but nod, if it wasn't for proving that she had sucked the dragon soul alive in front of her, otherwise she wouldn't have given Graybeard's John Wind Caller's horn to Halfina.

"It's time for us to go in, Baron."

Ledia, who had not made a sound, thought that the two people next to him were in a daze, and then whispered a reminder.

With that, Halfina also walked in with the two of them.

The people representing the Empire's side are all here: General Tullius of the Imperial Skyrim Province, Regie the Governor of the Imperial Skyrim Province, Elisifer the Blonde the Lonely City, and Alain Wen of Somer's embassy in the Skyrim.

Barguf was there, but he was more of a witness.

The only remaining Blade Warriors stood to the left of Ayngel, more to witness and warn the crowd.

The Stormcloak was a bit shabby, with only Ufrik and his personal attachΓ©, who looked very old but wore a bearskin to prove that his strength was still there.

Halfina passed everyone and sat at the top of the table, while Ellie sat in the slate seat behind her, and Lydia stood silently behind Halfina.

The rest of Greybeard, after confirming that there was no one, walked in the remaining three directions of the room, and stood at the back of the chair, which was regarded as a supervisor, and a fair meeting for this purpose.

"Well, now that everyone is here, please take a seat.

Then the meeting can begin. ”

Eengail walked over to the chair directly across from the Dragonborn and spoke slowly.
