Chapter VI

Perhaps the Holy Spirit could not bear to see these escaped oathbreakers suffer another fatal blow, or perhaps the Demon God felt that these mortals had lost all the value and pleasure of play, and for the next few days, we did not encounter any hostile forces that tried to turn against us.

Of course, this is thanks to my tireless scouting and guarding them along the way, avoiding all possible accidents and people. I had to be careful to heed all the signs around me, even the blood-related oathbreakers could turn their faces and move knives, and who knew what would happen even more unbelievably unexpectedly.

The great river, which flows endlessly towards the northern estuary, meets a tributary from the west. The leader of the Oathbreakers took the reins and stopped the reindeer under his crotch, and the rest of us followed suit.

……

While they rested by the river, went down to catch fish, replenished water, and set up a bonfire, I habitually climbed a boulder and looked hard at the source of the mist-shrouded tributary. Florella also straddled my shoulder, imitating my little hand and squinting into the distance.

It was supposed to be a large Oathbreaker base. In the vast fields, there are a large number of farmers in antlers and fur hats working hard, and in the orchards there are also gardeners in the same costume pruning the branches of the fruit trees. Windmills and mills, vegetable fields and pastures in development, the new land in front of you exudes a thriving and harmonious scene.

I jumped off the rock and walked back to the camp and reported what I had seen about the strange base to the leader of the Oathbreakers.

"What to do? Is it to avoid them and move on? ”

The corners of the Oathbreaker Leader's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't give an immediate answer, but wanted to confirm the situation in the distance himself, "I'll go up and have a look." ”

The leader of the Oathbreakers knew nothing about magic, and his eyesight did not reach the level of the otherworldly, and although the leader of the Oathbreakers recognized some superficial features in the distant scene shrouded in a thin layer of mist, it was up to me to explain the details.

I handed over an old map of Rich, which the Oathbreakers had picked up from some hapless Nord caravan long before they migrated. After I showed my worth, the map was put in my hands for safekeeping and use.

"We are now at the confluence of two rivers, northeast of the Longya Pass." I pointed out where we were on the map with my finger. Then panning his finger to the west, "That Oathbreaker base we saw...... The sign on the map reads 'Druardach's Stronghold', but what is that? ”

"Druardach...... Druardachi ...... "The leader of the Oathbreakers kept chanting the name, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. "That's right. There it is! ”

"Where?" The sudden change in the expression of the leader of the Oathbreakers made me curious.

"That's the territory of King Mydnaqi! More than twenty years have passed. I almost forgot where his home was! ”

A base in Mednaki? Whew, with confirmation from the leader of the Oathbreakers, I let out a long breath. These days of hard trekking can finally come to an end.

The leader of the Oathbreakers was even more excited, and he jumped off the boulder, limping to the newly entrenched camp despite his broken foot, announcing the exciting news to his men.

"Everyone! We've arrived at King Mednaqi's territory and put aside all the irrelevant work! Don't get down to business, we'll celebrate later! ”

"Okay!"

When everyone heard that the destination was ahead, they were immediately left behind after the fatigue of running around for days, and they couldn't wait to step on their respective reindeer without even bothering to recover the things on the ground.

The gloom floating in everyone's hearts was swept away, and morale was suddenly boosted. I rode with Flora on the reindeer tied to the river to drink, and followed them in the direction of the river towards the Druadachi stronghold, where King Maidnach was.

……

More than twenty years ago, Mednage was the most powerful Oathbreaker King in Rich's domain, and many tribes of Oathbreakers were at his disposal. While the war between humans and elves was raging in the south, Mednach led the Oathbreakers to take advantage of the situation and take back the city of Marcas from the Nords.

But the happy days of the Oath Breakers' reconquest only lasted two years, and the time to come was always coming, and after the end of the World War, the Nord forces drove back to Skyrim from the province of Sylodir, and it was time to drive the Oath Breakers out of Marcus City.

It's Ulfrick who is in charge of it all. Storm Cloak.

During the Battle of Marcus more than twenty years ago, Ufric led a large army to the city, and with the roar of the dragon, the defenses placed by the Oathbreakers at the gates completely collapsed. Then, the Nords poured into the city in a steady stream, and the resistance of the oathbreakers was like a pebble thrown into a raging wave, unable to make any conspicuous waves.

The power of the Oathbreakers should have been completely wiped out, but then something went wrong. The new lord, Igmund, wanted to avenge his father's murder by dismembering the body of the initiator of the turmoil, Medenaki, but the Silverblood secretly rescued him and imprisoned him in the mines of Sidana for more than twenty years, until my arrival.

Mednach's descendants must have been lost in the fierce battle of that year, so his original base, the stronghold of Druardach, the target of our trip, was completely abandoned. Now, with the power he had accumulated in prison for more than 20 years, the king has returned, rejuvenating this long-sealed land.

It was a time of ruin, but along the way, I saw something unconscionable. While a lot of people were put into production, I also found that Mednach was putting just as much of his people into another area – drilling, and building military installations.

How long has it been since he was out of prison, and his family has not fully recovered, could it be said that Mednaqi wants to rekindle the flames of war? The reason for this will not be known until we see him in person. After defending the identity and intent of the Druardachy Stronghold, we were ushered into the Stronghold.
