40: This year's grasp of the root of the real dish
Counting the volunteers from the comrades-in-arms, the reserve troops, less than a hundred people, braved the night, held torches, and spent more than an hour to arrive at the western guard tower located on the west side of the snow man.
In Mishan's eyes, the number of this force can be described as pitiful, but for the Skyrim people, whose population is already small, it is already a medium-sized army.
When the city of Marcus was attacked by the Rich's Oathbreakers, Ulfric led this number of troops to the city of Marcus.
After a quarter of an hour to go, you can already see the roaring western watchtower in the darkness of the night.
In order to avoid being detected by the dragons, Ireles, as the commander of the troops, immediately had the troops stop at a nearby rocky beach...... Although Mishan felt that if the dragon really wanted to detect it, it would have noticed it a long time ago.
Especially so that all the soldiers could hear, Ireles also shouted "Everyone check weapons and bows and arrows." ”
It's too hard to get the Nords to learn to stealth...... Mishan glanced at Zoe, who was checking the magic artifacts.
"Master?" Noticing Misugi's eyes, Zoe looked up and asked.
"Put all these toys away." Mishan said to Zoe, "Go to that bow and arrow over there." ”
“…… Oh oh" Thinking that Mishan was going to test herself, Zoe immediately hung those demon artifacts on her body...... He didn't put it in his backpack, and then in the strange eyes of a bunch of soldiers, he asked for a steel longbow, and Zoe looked closely, it was one of the weapons he had built before.
Although it has not been twenty-four hours since he became a professional blacksmith, some craftsmen have become accustomed to Zoe having no way to teach themselves, such as leaving their own logo in an inconspicuous place on their work.
That's why when Zoe gets her hands on this steel longbow, she immediately recognizes it as her own work.
After the battle readiness was checked, Ireles repeatedly signaled the soldiers to pay attention to the sky, and led his troops to the burning western watchtower.
From a distance, it looks like a large fire, and the western watchtower is even more miserable than in the game, and in reality, the garrison area on the edge of the territory is certainly not a lonely tower like in the game, and there is a ring of barracks around the watchtower for the troops stationed here.
At least judging from the shape of the pile of ruins, it should be a barracks.
Compared to the camp with only ruins left, it serves as the main building of the western watchtower...... A Nord-style stone watchtower is slightly better, it doesn't break in half, but there are a lot of gaps, and it seems that the dragon that attacked here has nothing to do with the pile of stones.
After the arrival of reinforcements, Ireles immediately arranged the vigilance troops and rescue troops, according to Ireles's understanding of the Nord barbarians' vitality comparable to Xiaoqiang, even if this camp is miserable to this virtue, there will definitely be survivors.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the reinforcements to find several wounded who were crushed under the rocks and hiding in the corners, although these wounded people who broke their arms and legs at every turn looked quite miserable, but with the physique of the Enods, they could find a temple and put it for a few days, and they were a barbarian who was alive and well.
One of the wounded, who looked frightened, shouted in a panicked voice as he was carried out of the crack in the stone: "It's still here!" It's still here! ”
"Guards!!" Ireles, who heard the wounded's voice, shouted as well.
"There is no enemy in the east!" "There is no enemy in sight in the west!" "There is no enemy in the north!" "There are no enemies in the south, but the wind is a little strong." The sentinel, who had already gone to reconnoiter the enemy's situation in advance, responded loudly, perfectly interpreting the environment in which communication basically relies on roaring.
"It's a little windy?" Irelais had extracted useful information from the useless reports, and if it wasn't night but day, he could see a black dot approaching the watchtower from the Southern Mountains at a rapid pace.
Before Irelis could associate the wind with the dragon's flapping of its wings, he heard a cute voice from the top of the watchtower, which could already be declared abandoned:
"The dragon is coming!"
The voice that will be marked as "cute" is naturally Zoe's voice, and after getting the bow and arrow, Zoe was led by Mishan to climb to the top of the watchtower.
Although Mishan and Zoe were willing to help, Ireles knew very well that if his orders were contrary to the other party's ideas, the other party would definitely not listen to him, so he simply did not count Mishan and Zoe in the reinforcements, and did not prevent Mishan and Zoe from climbing the watchtower.
Zoe, who was pulled up to the watchtower, didn't know why Mishan did this at first, but when a gust of wind blew on the watchtower and saw the dragon that was already close at hand, Zoe immediately shouted a warning to the soldiers.
…… Just as handing over the dragonstone to Farenga will trigger the quest of the Western Watchtower being attacked by a dragon, when Zoe, the dragonborn girl who is the son of the world's protagonist plane, comes to the top of the Western Watchtower, no matter what the dragon was doing before, it will definitely immediately flutter its wings and fly over.
It's a pity that even the Dragonborn's eyesight is not good enough to care about day and night...... Only Dragonborns who have become vampires have this ability.
When Zoe saw a dragon flying over, it was already close at hand, and almost as soon as Zoe's warning was called, Ireles and some other soldiers with faster heads heard the sound of wings whirring.
"Watch for secrecy!!" Relying on the firelight, Irelais shouted loudly when he saw only a black shadow flying quickly above his head.
Immediately after the soldiers, who reacted and began to find a place to hide, or did not react, they heard a roar "...... Fig...... Su ......"
Then a fireball the size of a basin fell from the sky, splashing a spark like a bomb.
This time, there was no need for Ireles to remind them, those soldiers also knew that they had to dodge, and if they were hit by this fireball, even if their vitality was comparable to Xiaoqiang, they would die miserably.
Standing on the watchtower, Zoe could clearly see the soldiers in the chaos due to the invisible air strike, and subconsciously turned his head sideways to look at Mishan, who had a calm expression.
Mishan, who sensed Zoe's thoughts, smiled and said, "This was originally your mission, go ahead, kill this dragon and become a true dragonborn." ”
"Then master, can you help me with the bottom line?" Zoe said, looking afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it, or that the soldiers would suffer too many casualties.
“…… You'd better hurry up! Hearing Zoe say this, Mi Shan directly reached out and grabbed the collar of the little female dragon, and then shook all the bits and pieces on his body, leaving only the steel longbow in his hand, and then threw it from the guard tower more than twenty meters high.
…… Mi Shan put Zoe down helplessly, patted the other party's clothes, sighed and said, "Go quickly, remember to take the stairs." ”
"Did something just happen?" Zoe blinked.
"Yes?" Mishan blinked.
Fortunately, the world jumped out just now, otherwise Zoe would have found himself thrown from the watchtower by his master and fell to his death.
