After burying all the victims, Wu Chen led the remaining Helgen refugees back to Ximu Territory three days later.
General Tullius led the remaining troops along the way. They plan to go to Windhelm City via the White River and transfer to the East Empire Company's ship to head to the Imperial Legion headquarters in Dugu City. It is said that the ancient standing stones along the coast protected the smooth navigation. It is indeed safer to take the safe coastal route than the dangerous land route.
The destruction of Helgen completely disrupted the Lord's tour plan. What's more, there are a large number of refugees accompanying them. Regarding the dragon attack, General Tullius also told Wu Chen many details on the way. For example, the World Devourer was wrapped in a ball of annihilation storm and arrived over Helgen intact. The dragon's breath caught everyone off guard and turned the entire city into a sea of fire.
The downpour of fire from the sky was accompanied by a powerful Tumu (dragon roar). The strongest fortress was easily destroyed by the dragon's roar. Then the fire poured in fiercely, burning everything to ashes. All in all, this is a natural punishment that humans cannot resist. The elite soldiers of the empire were helpless to fight back, and many of them died in their sleep.
Wu Chen asked about the casualties.
General Tullius smiled sadly: More than half of the casualties were lost, but less than one tenth of the warriors could still fight.
Watching the lonely back of General Tullius as he left, Wu Chen knew that the direction of the Tianji Civil War was likely to be completely rewritten.
"Master, are you going to compete with Stormcloak for the Jagged Crown?" the housekeeper asked softly.
"It hasn't been decided yet." Although he knew that the Thousand-Year Dragon Breaking incident had eliminated the main plot line, all the divergent lines needed to be ended in order to achieve the final main plot line. But Wu Chen also knew that the purpose of his trip was to find a way to repair the time ring. The key is to get out of this Dragon Break plot as soon as possible, return to the Broken City, and prepare for the second cleanup day with all your strength. As for the main plot of "The Elder Scrolls", it is not Wu Chen's primary focus. It is precisely because of the relationship with the Thousand-Year Dragon Break that the influence of Wu Chen 0326’s exclusive branch plot line is amplified. So thinking about it the other way around, among the big players in Sanctuary, no matter who is involved in the plot world of "The Elder Scrolls", Wu Chen and his Ximu leader are the targets that must be eliminated in order to eliminate differences and achieve the final main plot. To put it simply, Wu Chen just needs to wait for the enemy players to come to his door. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to start this adventure that has "no plot line".
"By the way, Alicia. Do we have a magic light cannon?" But first and foremost, the threat of the dragon must be dealt with.
"Yes, Master. The magic light cannon you built yourself was repaired by Dean Freya. Only you can activate its control ring." Alicia's answer made Wu Chen let out a sigh of relief. This also means that before deciding to become the Lord of Ximu, Wu Chen had already built a powerful weapon to deal with the evil dragon in advance. Never fight an unprepared battle, this is the experience of the lord-level players.
"Master?" The housekeeper still had questions in her mind: "Why can the dragon withstand the annihilation storm?"
"Huh? Because in a sense, the dragon is a 'fragment of time'. So it is immortal, has no gender, and cannot reproduce." Inspired by the housekeeper, Wu Chen thought of the Dwarf King's question about Ulu Kobelco. The description of the desperate black dragon Nidhogg's fallen scales: "Or more vividly, the dragon is the scales (fragments) shed by the time dragon god Akatosh. Therefore, it can resist annihilation. In principle, it is difficult to be killed completely. The best way to defeat them is...exile."
"The scales shed by the Time Dragon God." This description was very vivid, and the housekeeper immediately realized: "So it has eternal time resistance against annihilation."
"Yes, that's it." Wu Chen spread his hands: "Unless the world is destroyed, how can time be annihilated?"
It is about 300 miles from Helgen to Ximucheng. The team can only travel dozens of miles a day. Fortunately, as soon as you leave the mountainous area and reach the river valley, there will already be a large number of longships waiting in line at the dock of the coal mine.
The coal mine located at the outlet of the Great Lake and on the south bank of the upper reaches of the White River guards the road leading to Helgen. All travelers traveling to and from the province via the Skyrim Portal must stop and rest at the coal mine after passing through the mountain passes of Helgen. What's more, the coal and ore continuously produced from the Coal Mine have also made the Coal Camp more prosperous.
Although it is still rated as a four-frame annex, it should not be far away when it is upgraded to a five-frame annex.
The hero who leads the guards to protect Coal Camp: the female demon hunter Daedra.
She is also a four-framed figure. In addition to being proficient in demon hunting skills, she can also summon a "Scarlet Witch War Spirit" to help her slay demons. In a place like a mine where it is easy to dig into an unknown tomb, it is indeed appropriate to recruit a female demon hunter to take charge.
"Good day, sir." A female demon hunter in gorgeous demon armor led an elite guard to greet him. Like the elite female warriors of the Imperial Nord Legion at Feitian Outpost, they also belong to the Lord's personal bodyguards (Housecarl).
"Good day, madam." Wu Chen always responded with full kindness to the adaptors of the mottled golden tree law.
"Sir, the boat transporting the refugees to Ximu City has been prepared." The female demon hunter was also full of affection for the young Lord Ximu in front of her: "It is ready to leave at any time."
"Okay, Daedra. First arrange for the refugees to take shelter in the mine hall. Then board the ship in batches. Be sure to avoid crowding and beware of dragon attacks." Wu Chen warned.
"As you command, my lord." The female demon hunter understood immediately. The Lord's words are enough to confirm that the rumors of the World Devourer reappearing in the sky must be true.
As mentioned before, the coal mine camp was built on the mountain, spreading from the halfway slope to the bank of the White River. Not only did they build strong walls, but they also established a strict defense system based on the mountain topography. A strong fortress that even the evil dragon dare not easily provoke. And like all settlements in Ximu Territory, the coal mine camp is also protected by a magic ring. It can withstand a considerable degree of magical attacks, as well as Tumu and Dragon Breath.
In order to appease the people, Wu Chen led Gisei Ying's personal guards and entered the mine hall together.
Compared to the adventure years with Alicia in my memory, the cave hall in front of me was completely a Dwemer-style dungeon. Not only is there a miner's home that is as good as the Sleeping Giant Hotel, but the corridor leading to the underground mine has also been built, and is decorated with bright miners' lamps. Brass track minecarts are also available. In Wu Chen's view, with a little modification of the technology of steam airships and steamships, orbital steam trains can be built. Moreover, the terrain structure of Wu Chen's territory along the Baihe River is extremely conducive to the movement of trains.
Railway transportation is not inferior to shipping.
Of course, in a territory of 300 miles, the long-distance transportation advantage of trains is not obvious. For Wu Chen at this stage, steam trains are dispensable. With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he didn't want to cause trouble. After returning to the Broken City later, it is not too late to take the time to go back and forth to the "5-star exclusive land: Ximu Territory" to advance the main storyline. After all, according to the Law of Shattering, as long as the Ximu collar is posted on the glass wall of the red phone booth, it can become an exclusive activation card. Just like Shangri-La Secret Realm and Cyber City, plot characters can enter and exit freely like the lord. Under the advice of Zhi Nao Ai, Wu Chen can maximize the benefits by arranging adventures according to the priority of tasks. It's a hundred times better than "a black eye" at this moment.
A heroic lord accompanies him throughout the journey and has a powerful enough power to soothe the terrified and helpless Helgen refugees. What's more, Helgen, 300 miles away, was the first town to hear about the rumor that Lord Ximu had a golden mountain. Being able to move to a wealthy place that everyone in the sky envied was considered a blessing among misfortunes.
"Sir, all the refugees have set off. A total of 1,439 households, 5,037 people." Later, the camp director and resident heroine Deidra came to report.
"So many people." Wu Chen didn't expect it either. By the way, Helgen in the game only has 4 or 5 buildings.
"Master, don't worry, Ximu Town is enough to accommodate it. Just expanding 10 more streets and lanes should be enough." The experienced housekeeper quickly came up with a plan.
"No problem." Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "1,000 households have settled in Ximu, and the remaining 439 households are planning to move to Secuda Fort."
"As you command, my master." Wu Chen intends to build a military fortress as big as Hanluo Fortress in the valley between Secuda's Frame and Hanluo Peak, and plans to protect the eastern border of Ximu across from Baihe Farm, the housekeeper I also know it.
After the completion of the fortress, it was used to house Helgen refugees. It can also be regarded as a dual-purpose military and civilian weapon, killing two birds with one stone.
