Chapter 294: Helgen Fortress
"Hmm........."
I don't know what's going on this time, but when I entered this new world, I lost my consciousness directly, and I seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
Now, she had only come to her senses, but after a little calm, she noticed her current situation.
It seems, with a group of prisoners by yourself? Moreover, there is an extra simple cloth coat on the body?
"Hey, little girl, can you hear me?"
A man with short blond hair said to Ellie, he was wearing thick leather armor, but his hands were firmly tied in front of him, unable to move, and the face carved by the knife with a face of stubble on his cheeks looked a little hideous, but not intimidating, but a little kind.
It seemed to be the same feeling as the Nordic people I had seen at the beginning, but when I looked at it again, I realized that my hands were also tied, and I didn't have a seat, but I was just thrown in the middle of the four people.
Although for her current strength, it is only dispensable.
"Damn the Empire... didn't even let go of an innocent little girl. ”
He muttered, and Elle didn't answer the other question, but looked at the other prisoners in the car.
A tattered dark-haired man sat behind the blonde man, who seemed very frightened and very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
The other man was dressed in a thick fur coat and looked like a nobleman, but his mouth was firmly sealed, as if it had been specially prepared for him, for Ellie looked at the prisoner carts, and only the man was gagged.
And near his right hand was a woman, who looked like herself, also fell into a coma, but her pale blonde flowing long hair hung in front of her, and her beautiful face looked completely different from this extremely cold world, and her strong and perfect body made this weak body dyed with a lot of bravery.
Hearing the blonde man's voice, she frowned slightly, then opened her eyes.
Like Ellie, she also has blue gemstone eyes, but now her eyes are extremely confused.
"Where am I ......?"
Then, she looked at Elle and said in surprise.
“… Bub? ”
"Hey, you! You're finally awake. ”
The blonde man said silently, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Who are you?"
"Ralof of Creekwood, Stormcape Soldier, it looks like you were ambushed by the Imperial army with us as you crossed the border, didn't you? Just like this thief next to me. ”
The black-haired man said with some annoyance when he heard this
"You goddamn storm cloaks! Skyrim Province is not as peaceful as you should be, this should be a good place, isn't it?
If it weren't for the Imperial Army's constant search for the rebels, I would have stolen a horse to go to Hammerdown, and maybe I'd be there by now! ”
Skyrim Province, and Hammerfall Province, sounds like some kind of continent, but here it uses... English in conversation? Erli also has a lot of English background, so she can listen to it roughly.
After that, with the help of the previous power, you should be able to master it quickly, right? But, what is this place...
"Hey, you and that little guy, I'm Lockell, and the three of us shouldn't be here. The Empire wants to capture the rebels, but not civilians and thieves. ”
"Hey, little one, come to me..."
The woman ignored him, but turned her gaze to Erlie, and she could see from Erlie's confused expression and slightly shrunken body that this little guy... It seems to be frightened.
"Unfortunately, we're in the same boat now, thief."
"Shut up, y'all of you."
The coachman, who sat in front of the prisoner's carriage, gave them a warning, but it didn't mean much. Lockell looked at the gagged man in the prison car, and asked casually.
"What's the matter with this guy, huh?"
"Give me attention! You're talking to Uffric Stormcloak, the true High King of Skyrim! ”
However, Larov immediately became much more serious, and yelled at the people over there, as if he was angry that a thief had made fun of a lord.
"Ulfric Stormcloak..."
Ellie muttered, just mentioned an organization that seems to have something to do with him?
However, upon hearing the man's identity, Locker's face turned pale with fright, and even through the dirty face, he could see the drastic change.
"Ufu...... Rick? Oufrick? Is it the lord of the Storm Rudder City? You're the leader of this gang of rebels?!
But even you've been caught...... Oh, my God... Where are they taking us? ”
"I don't know, but I heard Songard's call..."
After thinking of his destination, Larov didn't seem to be afraid, but the loss in his tone couldn't be hidden.
The woman was also a little stunned, but when she saw Ellie in the blink of an eye, she was deeply worried.
"No, it won't! How could this be! ”
Lockell repeated in fear, but no one paid attention to him, and after he had said a few words, he fell silent, except for the shaking of the carriage, and the tremors of that moment, which hung over the heads of the five men.
And the woods under the snow, from time to time the sun is blocked, which is not very comfortable, but Erli clearly feels that this is not much different from the Nordic scene she dreamed of before?
But after a while, Larov suddenly asked in a low voice to Locker.
"Hey, what town are you from, horse thief?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
The thief, who was hit hard, said with some frustration.
"The will of a Nord person is to return to the roots."
Originally, he was about to say something, but he was dumbfounded, and Locker looked into Larov's eyes in a daze, and then said.
"Lolik Town, I'm from Lolik Town."
However, Ellie looked back in the direction of the carriage, and it seemed that they had reached the destination that the Empire wanted, and in front of them was a simple patchwork of stone and logs, with a complex of several towers, which seemed to be a military camp.
"General Tulius! The executioner is ready! ”
An Imperial soldier standing on the city wall shouted at the wall inside, and naturally, this sentence also spread to all the prisoner cars.
"Shure, Mara, Tibera, Kenares, Akatosh... O gods! Help me! ”
But the gods did not favor such a mortal, and while Lockel was praying, the carriage had already driven into the town, which looked so small that it was even a walled town to Erlie's eyes.
The Imperial soldiers inside looked a bit like the Roman Empire's attire, but a little too advanced: not only did they have chain mail and leather helmets for protection, but their armor was even studded with nails to protect the wearer, and most of them had weapons made of steel.
In the midst of this, Ellie saw three men on horseback, watching the situation on one side and discussing something on the other, but strangely enough, only one of them was a human.
"Look at that guy, he's the commander of the Imperial Army, General Tulius."
As she tried to hear what was being said, Larov smiled and introduced the three of them.
"And, look at the Somer guys around him.
Damn elves! They definitely have something to do with it. ”
The other two, they were not as handsome as Ellie had imagined, but a different look: their faces seemed to be a little too slender compared to normal humans, and their features were unusually angular, like a normal light brown statue, elongated by life.
Ellie didn't see their pointed ears because they were wearing helmets and hoods.
And Larov told his story, called Helgen, where he used to grow up, but no one seemed to want to listen to him sentimentally about his past.
"Don't be afraid, little one."
Although she said this, in fact, she was the one who was more afraid of the two.
The Empire has dealt a severe blow to the Stormcloak, and if he is considered one of them, he will be in trouble.
After a few more moments, the prisoner's cart came to a slow halt, and they came to a square, in the middle of two towers, and in the very center of the small square, there was a stone, just enough to place a man's forehead.
And in front of the stone, there was a small wooden basket.
"Why did we stop?"
"Say, we're here."
"Everyone, get out of the car!"
A woman shouted, but judging by her pure steel clothes, she at least looked like a squad leader.
"Let's go, we can't let the gods wait too long for us."
Larov said softly, but Locker screamed.
"No, wait! We are not rebels! ”
"When you're dying, show some backbone, thief.
The girls who come here with you can stand up straight. ”
He said with some disdain, and Elle jumped out of the prison car after the woman.
There were dozens of Imperial soldiers standing in this square, and there were many archers, and around the prisoner cart, more than a dozen rebels in storm cloaks immediately gathered.
"Whoever is named, stand on the guillotine for me, and come one by one."
“…… The Empire likes to do those TMD lists the most. ”
After scolding in a low voice, Larov also jumped down.
An Imperial soldier with a list stood next to the female captain, and after looking around, he suddenly fell on Larov's body, and his expression became extremely strange.
But he resisted his desire and read the list instead.
"Ulfric Stormcloak, Lord of Stormhelm."
"It is my honor, Lord Ulfric, to die with you!"
"Larov in Creek Town"
Larov calmly walked out, but before he was out of sight, he looked at the Imperial soldier, and coincidentally, the Imperial soldier was also looking at him.
"Locker of Lolik Town."
A person who shouldn't be on the list suddenly appears on the list.
The last glimmer of hope vanished in Locker's mind, and with it came infinite fear, and the final fight to the death.
"Nope! I'm not a rebel! You can't do this! ”
"Stand at the guillotine!"
The female captain commanded sharply, and at the same time put her hand on her waist, ready to draw her weapon at any moment, but Locker did not flinch, but took advantage of the gap between them, and immediately rushed out of the two of them.
"Stop!"
"You can't catch me!"
The thief ran out nimbly, looking at his speed, it seemed that only horses could catch up, but.
"Archer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several long arrows flew out from different places, piercing Locker's forehead and body several times, and he slammed into the ground with his running posture and speed, and could not get up again.
At this time, Erli obviously felt that the woman beside her unconsciously clenched her fists. Because judging from the current situation, it seems that the people in this prisoner car are all going to be executed?
But... This little girl's appearance, let's pretend again.
So, Erlie immediately hid behind the woman, while constantly shaking her body, hiding herself behind her.
"Sister..."
“……”
The woman didn't speak, just pursed her mouth, but her body had already protected Ellie.
"Does anyone else want to escape?"
"Wait a minute, you, and the little girl next to you, go forward."
The soldier who recorded it checked his report and looked at them carefully, and when he was sure it was correct, he asked.
"Who are you?"
