In the military hall of the Dragon Palace, Bargulf and the Imperial Governor Quentin Sepiers are discussing the battle in front of a military map. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, an Imperial soldier ran up to Governor Quentin and panted and said, "Sir......"
The Imperial army has always been highly disciplined, and the panicked behavior of the soldiers made Quentin feel very embarrassed in front of Barguf, Quentin glared at the soldier and said, "What are you panicking about? Take a breath and talk! ”
The soldier struggled to adjust his breathing and said intermittently, "Sir...... But ......"
Quentin glared at him sternly and ordered, "Take a deep breath!" ”
Seeing Quentin's embarrassment, Barguf said, "The outer walls of the snow are very strong, if we can hold back the army of Stormcloak there......"
Quentin said categorically: "Impossible, they have catapults." ”
"Damn, where did they get the catapult?" Barguf's face was full of worry, if this is the case, the city wall may not be able to be saved......"
"It's not that simple," Quentin said, "my scouts told me that they were loading burning stones into catapults. ”
"It seems that they are going to destroy the walls and occupy the snowman," Barguf said. If that's the case, we'll need a lot of water to put out the fire. ”
Quentin said confidently: "It's ready, my people have prepared water in every corner of the city." Now, just wait for the Storm Cloak to strike. ”
"Sir," said the soldier at this time, "the men of the Stormcloak have begun to march, and they may reach the snow at any moment. ”
Quentin roared, "Bastard! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
The soldier pouted.
Barguf shouted, "Everyone follow me to the walls at once." ”
At the snowy city gate, Dai Dameng, Selene, and the noble brother stood on top of the gatehouse, and saw the black-pressed storm cloak army, surrounded by huge catapults, crossing the field and approaching the snow-filled city gate.
At a stone's throw from the gates, the army of the Storm Cloak stopped and loaded the burning stones into the catapults, and then the long poles of the catapults shook violently, and the burning boulders roared across the sky, over the walls, and fell in the snow-filled city.
Bang bang bang! There was a loud bang, and the snow filled the city with fire.
"Help!" The panicked snow-filled inhabitants were in disarray, men rushed up the walls with weapons in hand, and women and children cried and ran to the temple of Genares to ask for the protection of the Holy Spirit.
"Shoot!" Barguv gave the order.
The catapults in the snowy city launched a counterattack, one by one burning boulders, and threw them at the army of the Storm Cloak.
Bang bang bang! The boulder hit the ground and burst suddenly, killing dozens of Stormcloaked Soldiers, and more Stormcloaked Soldiers were replenished.
For a moment, countless burning boulders streaked across the sky, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the sky was obscured by thick smoke.
In front of the Storm Cloak's position, Gamal raised his battle axe and shouted, "It's time! Some people say that we are unknown! And say that we are a rabble of thieves, thugs and murderers! ”
"Roar!" The faces of the Stormcloaked soldiers were full of rage, men and women, old and young, and they didn't even have uniform armor and weapons, but their fighting spirit was high, and everyone's eyes were full of fanaticism.
Gamar's gaze swept over the crowd and exclaimed, "But that's not the case, we're farmers!" We are craftsmen! We are the sons and daughters of merchants, servants, and soldiers! We are all heroic sons and daughters of Skyrim! ”
"Roar!" The Stormcloaked Soldier raised his arms and shouted.
Gamal: "We have come to this point because our cause is righteous, because we are all in this together, because our hearts are burning with anger!" What we are doing today is for the sake of our homeland, for the sake of the true Nords of Skyrim! ”
"Roar!" The Stormcloaked Soldier raised his arms and shouted.
Gamar shouted, "Come with me, everyone, and we'll show the Empire's cubs the true power of the Nords!" ”
"Kill!" The Stormcloak soldiers swarmed out, like a torrent of rage, led by Gamal and Grabbing Root, and rushed towards the snowy city gates.
Outside the snow-covered city gates, looking at the tide like a storm cloak, the commander of the Imperial Legion, Governor Regie, mobilized to the soldiers: "Today is an important day for the Empire, the Legion, and Skyrim. What we do is for Skyrim and her people. Removing these cancerous rebels, we can reunite the country. Get ready! Come with me, everyone, for the Empire! For the legion! ”
Governor Ricky waved his sword and shouted, "Kill! ”
"Kill!" The coalition of Imperial soldiers and the Snowman Guard, led by Governor Regie and Dai Daemon, confronted the Stormcloaked army head-on.
"Shoot!" On the city wall, Selene led the archers to fire thousands of arrows, and the storm cloak suddenly fell to the ground with arrows.
Dai Dameng could see it clearly, there were many familiar faces in these storm cloaks, there were villagers from the Black Dragon, there were robbers from the Fog Watchtower, and there were other people he met in Windhelm City, there were white-haired old men, and there were sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, dressed in all kinds of clothes, holding all kinds of weapons, rushing over in a hurry, and they didn't look like an army at all.
However, the murderous aura on their faces and the fanaticism in their eyes made the real soldiers ashamed, seeing their comrades fall to the ground with arrows, no one flinched, no one stopped to rescue, and some only had more murderous aura in their eyes.
Storm Cloak shouted: "Kill! For Talos! ”
The Empire and the Snowman coalition shouted, "For the Empire!" For the sake of Xueman! ”
The two torrents collided together, and in an instant, blood splattered and corpses were strewn all over the field.
Governor Regie stopped Gamal, and Dai Dameng and Brother Guiren went straight to grab the root treasure.
Whew, the giant axe slashed a flash of fire, the sword bearer lightning, and the two raised their weapons and slammed into each other.
Dai Dameng swung his giant axe and slashed at the neck of the Grasping Root Treasure, and roared angrily: "Grab the Root Treasure, isn't your mission to kill the dragon?" Why did you come to attack Xueman? ”
"Alduin restores his strength by devouring the souls of the dead in Songard." Grabbing the root treasure swung his sword to shake away Dai Dameng's attack, and replied with a smile: "The war will continue to provide Alduin with heroic souls, so the war must be stopped!" ”
"You are provoking war, not preventing it." Dai Daemon roared: "If you really want to put an end to the war, go and kill Ulfric, he is the initiator of the Skyrim War, kill him, and the Skyrim Province will be able to return to peace." ”
"Childish!" Grabbing Genbao frowned, like a big brother who reproached his brother who made a mistake, "The civil war in Skyrim Province was really caused by Somo's request for the empire to abolish the belief in Talos, and Somo's rampant and imperial incompetence have aroused the anger of the Nords. Even if Ufric is killed, as long as Somo's conspiracy does not stop and the empire's cowardice does not change, there will still be others who will stand up and resist. The hatred of the Nords has been suppressed for too long, like a flood, a volcano, which cannot be quelled, only allowed to vent. ”
"Is that why you attacked Xueman?" Diemon took out an axe and said, "Barguf treats you well!" ”
Grabbing Genbao sighed and said, "This is not a personal vendetta, if you want to quell the civil war in Skyrim, someone must make sacrifices. ”
"Sacrifice!" Brother Guiren and Lydia were the victims, and the anger in Dai Dameng's heart suddenly exploded, "Go and die!" You ungrateful thing! ”
On the other side, Brother Guiren fought against Lydia.
Ladia stabbed out a sword and said coldly, "Cowardice is your greatest weakness!" ”
Brother Guiren dodged, but did not fight back, and whispered: "Lydia, is your conscience clouded by honor?" Even if the Dragonborn attacks Snowman, will you not hesitate to be his sword and shield? ”
Lydia raised his hand and slashed again, and said coldly, "I am proud of the baron!" ”
Brother Guiren raised his hand and pinched the tip of Lydia's sword, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "If you insist on this......"
The red light in the noble brother's eyes flashed suddenly, and a cold air erupted in his hand, and Lydia's long sword was actually frozen in an instant. Lydia hurriedly let go of his hand, and the noble brother's hand shook, jingling bells, and there was a crisp sound, and the long sword turned into countless fragments.
"You're doomed today!" Brother Guiren swung his fist and slammed it towards Lydia.
