Chapter 179: The tentacles of war
After the giant calmed down, the Giant King told Dai Dameng about tracking the cat man, who was very cunning, and despite the candlelight technique, under the siege of the giant, he still escaped and hid in the snowy mountains south of Morning Star City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Giant King had no choice but to give up tracking, and at this time the Giant reported that something strange had appeared in the Sleeping Tree, and for some reason, the leaves suddenly fell out.
Located in a shallow pond in the center of the camp, the Sleeping Tree is beautiful with its purple bark and leaves, emitting a thin purple mist, and the mist of the Sleeping Tree has the miraculous effect of promoting wound healing.
The Giant King loved it like a treasure, and immediately came to the Sleeping Tree Camp when he got the news.
Upon closer inspection, the Giant King found human footprints in the shallow pond under the Sleeping Tree, and an iron pipe on the trunk of the Sleeping Tree was sucking the sap of the tree.
Apparently someone had stolen the sap and caused the fallen leaves of the sleeping tree, but the Giant King was furious, but remained silent, and told the Giant to graze as usual, while he himself lurked, believing that the thief would come again.
Sure enough, just yesterday, an orc sneaked into the camp and walked under the Sleeping Tree to extract the sap from the iron pipe.
The Giant King attacked the Orcs, and the Orcs fled into the cave of the camp in a panic, where they were killed by the Giant King, and their bodies are still in the cave.
"Orcs?" Dai Da Meng suddenly raised his attention, after the Broken Stream Camp Scuma Incident, most of the wandering caravans that sold Skuma were captured by the Snow Man Guards, but only the orcs who attacked Dai Da Meng did not attack them. Selene asked Rudolph and the others to search for traces of the orcs, not knowing if there were any clues.
Hearing that the Giant King had killed an orc, Dai Dameng immediately asked the Giant King to take him to see it.
Walking into the cave and seeing the corpse of the orc, Dai Dameng was very disappointed, the orc's head was smashed flat by the giant king, and there was no way to tell the difference, Dai Dameng groped the orc, trying to find useful clues.
Sure enough, a hidden note was found on the orc, which read:
Uleg:
I can negotiate a better price with the Tiger Caravan. The guards have been looking for you since the last Skuma incident, don't play tricks on me, and bring the sap of the Sleeping Tree to my shop.
- Isolda.
Judging from the content of the letter, this orc should be the one who attacked Dai Dameng, and the orc's death did not make Dai Dameng breathe a sigh of relief.
Isolda, the girl who was with the snowman poet Mikael, although she had only met once, Dai Dameng was very impressed by this stubborn girl, and Dai Damont admired her very much.
Isolda obviously knew the identity of the orc, and she didn't know if she was using it to blackmail the orc, or if she was the mastermind behind the orc?
Dai Daemon put away the note, left the Sleeping Tree Camp, and headed straight to Snowman, the Scuma incident was related to the safety of the Broken Camp, and he must investigate it thoroughly.
The Grey Swamp Fortress, located twenty miles west of the city, next to the official road leading to the Snowman, is far away from the western watchtower, the last time Dai Dameng passed here, the Grey Swamp was still a ruin, and now, the fort has erected antlers and the walls have been repaired with wooden stakes. The fortress is full of people, and the flag of the empire is erected on the watchtower.
War is approaching.
After the interrogation, Dai Dameng successfully passed through the checkpoint set up by the Imperial Legion on the main road, and half an hour later, he came to the outside of the snowy city.
The atmosphere in the city was tense, and there were hurried figures of the guards everywhere. As soon as Dai Dameng inquired, he found out that he had joined the Storm Cloak.
The power of the Dragonborn is invincible. The name of the Dragonborn, Megatron.
Not only does it have the power of a dragon, but it also has a terrifying appeal, and many recruits participate in the Storm Cloak every day.
The strength of the Imperial and Storm Cloaks was originally almost the same, but due to the addition of the Root Treasure, the balance of strength tilted sharply in favor of the Storm Cloak.
A few days ago, Grab Root Treasure came to Snow Man and brought the Hand Axe of Ulfric, the leader of the Storm Cloak, to Lord Barguff to test Barguf's position.
If Barguv takes the axe, it means that he supports the Storm Cloak. However, Balgulf refuses, and asks Grappling to bring the axe back, telling Uhfrik that Snowman is ready to fight.
At the same time that Xue Man decided to take a stand, Dugu City and Wind Helm City immediately responded, and the Imperial Legion, under the command of Governor Ruiji, stationed in the Gray Swamp Fortress to assist Xue Man's guards to defend Xue Man.
The army of the Storm Cloak, led by Ulfric's henchman Gamal, set out from Windhelm City, went all the way up the White River, and camped at the foot of the White River Wangshan Mountain.
The big war is imminent, and the people in the snowy city are panicking.
At the gate of the city, a blonde man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial army said to the female blacksmith in a domineering manner: "Adrian, no matter what the cost, I need three thousand iron swords, which must be prepared in five days." ”
Adrian, the blacksmith, replied, "It's an impossible task, and Idorav you can't put down the stinky fritter rack and go to Erend Graymane for help." ”
The blonde man said disdainfully, "Ha! The Greymane family supports the Stormcloak, and they will never make steel for the Empire. I'm going to look for Greymane, so I might as well tie my hands and surrender to the Stormcloak. ”
"Well," said the blacksmith indifferently, "I'll do my best, but don't expect any miracles." ”
The blonde man turned to leave the blacksmith shop, and when he met Dai Dameng who was approaching, he immediately stopped him and asked, "War Mania or Greymane?" ”
"What?" Dai Dameng was confused.
The blond-haired man said coldly, "War Mania and Greymane are the two oldest families in Snowman, they have been like brothers since the time of Sgramo, until the outbreak of the Civil War, the two families turned against each other, the War Mane supported the Empire, and Greymane supported the Storm Cloak. Now that Xueman is facing war, Rat Slayer Warrior, I now ask which side are you on? ”
Dai Dameng said without hesitation: "I stand on the side of Xueman." ”
The blonde man's tone was suddenly kind, "Very good, I hope you can remember today's words, I am Idolav War Maniac, the War Maniac family welcomes you, if the Storm Cloak attacks Xueman, I hope you can stand up." ”
What? As soon as he entered the city, he was involved in the struggle between the two families, and Dai Dameng felt a little like he had been on a thief ship by mistake. But he didn't say the wrong thing,
Not because of the Snowman Guard, not because of Lord Barguf, but because of Danica, because of Selene, because of the brothers, because of all the people of Snowman, Snowman is his home, no matter who it is, whether it is a snow mouse, a dragon, a storm cloak, or an Imperial legion, if he dares to attack Xueman, he will definitely stand up to fight.
Bidding farewell to Idolav War Maniacs, Damon went straight to the Temple of Ginares, where many civilians had gathered compared to the last time.
Daemon approached Danica and asked her about the werewolf, but he didn't hear about Danica turning himself into a werewolf.
Danica frowned and said, "The soul of a werewolf will fall into the realm of Helsin, and curing a werewolf is to take food from the mouth of the demon god, which is extremely difficult, and I have not heard that a werewolf can be cured so far." But the Holy Spirit does not give up on any soul that is good, and I think it's not that werewolves can't be cured, but that no werewolves want to go to them. ”
"Hmm!" Dai Dameng nodded, he also believed that Grandma would never give up on him, and if he couldn't cure the werewolf now, then complete the Divine Trial first.
Dai Dameng didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to Danica, he had to complete the trial to increase his strength, on the one hand, to resist the werewolf, after all, the stronger the soul, the greater the resistance to the werewolf, and the more time left for him.
On the other hand, Grabbing Root Treasure has joined the Storm Cloak, so will he participate in the Storm Cloak attack Snow Man's war?
Grabbing Genbao is the baron of Xueman, and logically speaking, he should not attack Xueman. But would Ufric not use such a powerful combat power?
Neither Uffric nor Root Grabbing can be trusted, and the only thing Dai Dameng can trust is himself, hoping that after completing the Holy Trial, he can gain the strength to fight with Root Grab.
