Chapter 295: The Disaster of Helgen
"I'm Halfina, a Nord, but I'm from the town of Noth in Hammerfall, and I was just going to go back to my hometown today, and then I was caught by you when I crossed the border."
"It's really not the right time for you to go back to your hometown, Halfina."
The soldier of the empire searched the list again, and after confirming that it was correct, he wrote something down on the report.
"My travel records should be registered on the Empire's archives, so you may have caught the wrong person."
"I think so, my lady, but this little kid behind you?"
"When I was crossing the border, she was near a fallen carriage where there was only one dead horse, and I didn't find any other bodies."
“…… It could be a wolf attack, something that happens here as it often happens, so please wait a minute. ”
Unexpectedly, the soldier whispered to the female captain who had just given the order.
"Captain, the two of them are not on our arrest list, and they have a child.
What do we do? Did you let them go? ”
It seemed that there was a bit of a turnaround, at least from the man's body, Halfina still felt that the other party could communicate, so that she wouldn't have to be like Lockell, whose body was now dragged aside.
"Forget the list, they were executed together."
However, the captain just made an understatement and sentenced the two to death together.
"Captain, there are children in there.
Anyway, at this point..."
Such a verdict made everyone around frown, including some soldiers of the Empire: As for treating a child like this?
And in this world, Elle pulled the female captain directly into her own blacklist, the first position.
"I said, let's execute together!
Did you hear the order, soldier? ”
The impatient female captain shouted in a low voice, because General Tulius was coming soon, and she didn't want to complicate the situation here.
"Yes, Captain.
…… I'm sorry, but at least, you can die in your hometown. ”
Because of his rank, the man had to obey the captain's orders, but when she turned around and walked towards the guillotine, he said to the two of them guiltily.
“…… You did your best, that..."
"Hadawa."
"Hmm... Thank you, Hadawa. ”
Halfina accepted the ending, but then she took the little girl to her side.
"But please do me one thing."
“… Find the parents of this little girl? I know.
May Songgard shine on your path. ”
"All prisoners, follow me!"
At this time, the female captain ordered the surrounding prisoners, and several imperial soldiers also surrounded her, and when she saw Halfena's eyes, Hadava, who was also a Nord, immediately understood what the other party meant, and immediately agreed.
Halfina smiled bleakly, then escorted Ellie and walked towards the center of the execution ground.
A group of prisoners were brought to the center, while the executioner, with a huge crescent axe, with a mask, looked at them playfully. But beside him stood a priestess in a robe, as if to give the prisoners one last spiritual comfort.
General Tulius had just arrived, and he looked like he was in the prime of life, and his body was still very strong, but the sparseness on the top of his head and the wrinkles on his face still showed the signs of time.
And Ulfrik has been brought to the front of Tulius, and in the eyes of this lord, there is only disdain.
"Ulfric Stormcloak, there may be some people in Helgen who see you as a hero, but a hero will not kill his king with a dragon's roar."
Even with his mouth gagged, Ufric still muttered, as if cursing and refuting his point, but no matter what, he couldn't speak now.
Elle, on the other hand, listened intently to the conversation between the two, so that she could get what she wanted from the only source of information where she could know the situation.
"You started this civil war and plunged Skyrim into chaos. And now, the Empire will wipe you out in order to restore peace to Skyrim! ”
Just as Tulius was pronouncing the sentence of the prisoners in front of him, suddenly, the sound of breaking through all the noise echoed in the sky above the sky, and naturally, the entire fortress was shrouded in this roar.
“!”
Erlie subconsciously covered her ears, the sound was too loud, and she sensed something different, the sound seemed to be the roar of some kind of animal.
But she doesn't have any connection to this sound in her memory...
"What's that sound?"
Hawar, who was immediately on the alert, asked his commander.
"That's nothing, soldier.
Ready to continue. ”
"Yes, General Tulius."
But Tulius immediately stopped them, and he didn't want anything to happen when he executed the traitor who had split the empire in front of him. If there is indeed any change, then at least we have to deal with the people in front of us first.
Especially the Oufric Storm Cloak.
"Let them die."
The captain gave the order and stood behind the guillotine, and the priest, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke.
"Transcend your souls to the Divine Realm, pray to the Eight Holy Spirits, you are the salt and earth of Nain, our beloved ......"
"Talos's mercy is above you, so shut up and give me a happy death."
However, the Storm Cloaks showed no interest in any of this, and one of them, walking directly through all the prisoners, walking towards the guillotine on one side and interrupting the sacrifice on the other.
Obviously, being a servant of God and being interrupted by an irreverent person would have made her angry anyway, so the priest stopped speaking and spoke directly and indifferently.
"As you wish."
With that, she left the square, and the Stormcloaked Soldier straightened up in front of the guillotine, and then he stuck his head out, and before the other could react, he said impatiently.
"Hurry up! I don't have time to waste with you! ”
"Get on your knees!"
Seeing such a situation, the female captain directly forcibly pressed the other party, but it didn't succeed the first time, and the Nords, who were supposed to be exhausted, were now unable to bend down.
So, she used more force to press the opponent to the ground, and then made up for it, stepping on the opponent directly in front of the guillotine.
"My ancestors are welcoming me with open arms, Imperials, will you?"
Seeing the executioner in front of him raise the giant axe high, he didn't show any flinching, but sneered at the other party.
All the prisoners looked at the soldier in solemnity, because he was a warrior worthy of respect, and he never gave up fighting at the last moment before he died.
"Little one, close your eyes."
Halfena took Ellie in her arms, and as she moved the other's face, she said so.
“…… Hmmm"
Boom!
The sound startled the surrounding birds, and many onlookers also exclaimed.
The great axe easily severed the man's head, and his head fell into the basket with blood flowing down from the blood.
The body that lost its head lost its strength in an instant, and it was planted on the platform, and the female captain kicked the corpse off the guillotine with her foot.
“……”
No one around spoke, only Larov spoke in a low voice.
"He was born without fear... And after his death, his heroic soul lives on. ”
"Next! That raggedly dressed Nord! ”
And the female captain directly named her, and coincidentally, it was Halfina.
“…… Sister! ”
As she was about to say something, Ellie was about to say something when the strange roar echoed in the sky, but it was much closer to the crowd. And subconsciously, everyone looked up at the sky, trying to see what was going on.
Feeling the specific situation, Erli immediately judged that the other party should be a huge flying monster! But right now, it's not in my field of vision.
"When you appear, prepare to attack..."
Erlie, who was silently thinking so in her heart, hugged Halfina tightly.
"Here we go again, do you all hear me?"
The Nords' instinct for danger immediately filled Hadawa's mind, and the people around him also sensed that something was abnormal, and they became a little unstable.
"I said it, the next prisoner!"
However, the female captain did not have any opinion on this, she only knew that it was time to follow the orders of General Tulius and kill all the prisoners.
“… Go to the guillotine, prisoner, and relax. ”
"I'll come and see her, Halfina."
Laroff knew that the execution would not take too long, so he was happy to take Erlie over and "raise" her for a while.
Halfena glanced at it reluctantly and walked over to the guillotine.
"Can't you just kill that child?"
The captain didn't answer, but pressed her down, and then the captain said to the executioner.
"Strike."
Halvina tilted her head and looked at the executioner, hoping that one last wish would allow Ellie to at least escape.
But just as she was about to speak, suddenly, behind the mountains not far away, a huge shadow rose up, and flew directly in this direction.
"Dragon!"
Subconsciously, Ellie screamed.
"What the hell is that?!"
And Tulius was even more surprised, as if it was a monster from a legend, suddenly appeared in the world.
"Sentinel, what do you see!"
"It's in the clouds!"
The layers of black scale armor protected the monster's body, making the originally bright sky suddenly dim a lot, and it flew in the sky without hesitation, defying the mortals on the ground
Without thinking, he landed on top of the tower, and just then, behind the executioner, a huge wave of qi shook the other party out.
Halfina temporarily saved a life, but it wasn't enough, and she knelt in front of the guillotine, staring at the dragon over there.
"Duwakin..."
"Dragon!"
Filled with the breath of destruction, the power of the end of time, its eyes glowed red, staring at the ground, and then, its mouth opened.
"Ah!!h
The piercing roar, in an instant, seemed to tear through Ellie's eardrums. The sensitivity of the senses is here, but it is the greatest burden of Ellie, and human beings themselves cannot stand the power of that sound, let alone Elle herself.
The sky, which was originally relatively clear, seemed to have fallen into thick ink, dyeing everything into a terrifying despair, like a black ocean whirlpool, sucking the sky upward.
And the hot meteorite, with the whirlpool swept out, towards everything on the ground, vented its own power.
