Chapter 160: Yellow Sparrow

The Creator has blessed Snow with a unique abundance, but it is always prone to strange weather. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fog shrouded the snowy collar for several days, and the foggy season arrived.

The bustling snow of the past has quieted down, and this is one of the few unwritten holidays in the year to recuperate from the tired body.

Thanks to Torolia and the Church of Light, this year's Snowman has more money to spare to survive the fog.

The streets are deserted, and people either sleep at home or huddle in taverns to taste this year's new mead...... When gossip is commonplace, use the flute and harp to play a few well-known Nord songs.

The bartender handed a large glass of double-sweetened Black Thorn Honey to Loria, who sat on a high chair and shook her legs.

"I asked." He blinked, and beckoned to the regulars, "To Miss Loria." ”

People raised their glasses: "To Miss Loria!" ”

On days of peace, the little girl who brings a boom economy is more popular than the hero of the epic.

……

Loria, who had poured a large glass of honey wine, walked down the street, hearing only the clatter of her leather shoes on the stone path.

When she'd exhausted the gold in her pantry all day, she was no longer enthusiastic about the activity – and she was even happier with the leisurely days of playing around every day.

Even the vampires are very amused and stop making trouble.

Just yesterday, Loria ran into a vampire she had banished but hadn't left, and the guy greeted her with a basket of bread in his arms.

The vampire gives Loria a loaf of bread and thanks her men for their mercy; Loria invited him back with a glass of mead and sat down in the tavern with him to talk about the daily life of a vampire.

Taking the opportunity, Loria learns a few vampire jokes.

If it weren't for the Duke of Middle Two, the vampires of Skyrim would be some good guys...... Thinking like this, Loria climbed the city wall and wanted to blow the wind to sober up.

Unhindered, she ascended the wall from the stairs in the guardhouse near the south gate.

Loria wandered slowly to the city gates, from where the two walls descended down a steep slope, while the third gate was hidden in the fog...... Such strange weather is indeed a sight to behold, but after watching it for a long time, it will feel monotonous and boring.

"When I was younger, I used to run up the walls alone to see the fog until I was hit by an arrow in the knee......"

The veteran on duty was drunk, and he leaned against the battlement wall and said to Loria who came over.

Could it be that one of the conditions for recruiting the Xueman guards was an arrow in the knee—Loria thought narrowly, and she asked the veteran, "I forgot where I heard about it...... Does an arrow in the knee refer to marriage? ”

The veteran laughed, and he slapped the wall before he was ready to answer Loria's question.

But he never had a chance...... An arrow suddenly stuck in his head, and he fell to the ground without saying anything, or even snorting.

Loria looked blankly in the direction where the arrows were fired, and on the visible edge of the fog, she saw a large black rain of arrows swooping down towards where she was.

She hurriedly huddled under the battlement wall with her head in her hands, and screamed in the harshest voice of her life.

Half scared, half alarmed.

……

Morning Star Territory, near the northeastern border of the Snow Man Territory, a huge army silently marched through the forest.

A burly man in his thirties rode leisurely in front of the army, and he was Galen, the imperial general known as the unparalleled wisdom and bravery.

A few days earlier, his scouts had spotted the movements of the rebels - they had poured out of their nests and taken advantage of the fog to run towards the snowy city.

The princess's escape was known only to a few of the Empire's top echelons in Skyrim...... From the very beginning, the information that Ulfrick obtained was deliberately disseminated and leaked by Galen.

Due to the frequent attacks of the dragons in the empire, the rebels, who felt that they had begun to have an advantage in combat power, became aggressive; And Xueman, which has more than half of the grain production in the sky, is of great importance to both sides.

Forced by risks and lured by profits, Galen was confident that Ufric would attack Snowman according to his planned schedule, and he had already deployed a heavy army in the Morning Star Command.

Galen, on horseback, estimated the speed of the rebels' march and the maximum amount of time Snowman could sustain the city on its own - the key to the success of the plan was for him to lead the Imperial army to defeat the weary Storm Cloaks while the defenders were exhausted by the rebels to the maximum extent possible and the city was not lost.

Everything is an imperial conspiracy.

"Sure enough, as you say, the barbarians besieged Xue Man like crazy."

"How exactly do you do that...... Those rebels are as if they were completely following your plan......"

"Please let me lead a small army to Stormhelm, and I promise to kill Ufrik and sacrifice his head to you along with the victory."

He was surrounded by young nobles who were Galen's lieutenants, their faces overflowing with joy and excitement; And the nearby sergeants looked at their generals with unquestionable pride and trust in their eyes.

"I'm just inducing what's going to happen to the time we want it to happen." Galen said with a smile.

Everyone believed that as long as Galen was there, victory would belong to the Empire.

He was not yet forty years old, he was brave and good at fighting, and he had great prestige in the army.

He was trusted by the emperor, he was a good man, and the commanders of his army were all young heirs to the great lords of the empire.

No one doubts that in more than a decade, he will be the next great general who will tilt the empire and leave a name in history.

The Nord rebels tightened the defense of the city, but Galen, who didn't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, had the original purpose of snowman; The Nord rebels deployed an army to the southwest of Snowman to block possible Imperial reinforcements, but Galen had already deployed his army very close to Snowman.

This time, let the brave Nords teach the art of war.

Galen's heart swelled with pride, but his stomach suddenly hurt...... He ate too many gherkins last night.

Waving to stop the guards from following, Galen skillfully rode his horse toward the sparsely wooded area.

In order to maintain an image of absolute majesty, he deliberately let the horse run a long distance.

A bush of grass has appeared!

Galen jumped off his horse and rushed into the grass, shouting.

"Demacia!" (Author's note: In the southern dialects of the Empire, this word means unobstructed.) )

After a while, Galen stood up from the grass and received an arrow to his throat.

……

Later, the history of the empire was recorded like this...... Galen, an imperial general, was invincible, and one day in the sky was accidentally shot by a local hunter and died.

As for the army he led, which is not recorded in history, he was successfully routed by a lost Nord baggage team at the end of the war under the leadership of a group of inexperienced young nobles.
