——4, 201, the last seed month, 27th, 2:00——
Rift Valley is a piece of mountainous land with a mild climate located in the southeast of Skyrim Province and borders the capital province of Cyrodiil and Morrowind Province. Its capital city of Rift Valley is built in the vast Lost Forest, and to the west of the city is The second largest lake in Skyrim, Lari is the source of the trvarivr, which meanders north to join the White River that flows to Windhelm.
Treva Watchtower, or Starleo Manor, is located on a cliff near the confluence of Tewari River and White River. The scenery is beautiful and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the owner hadn't opened the gate, it would have been difficult to attack by force. It came at a considerable cost, as evidenced by the several blackened arrow wounds on Farkas' body.
"What the hell!" Farkas glared at his brother: "Are you sure this is just a weapons manufacturing base?"
"At least this is the intelligence we have obtained, unless something unexpected happens." Wilkas looked at the huge manor from a distance. Since vampires do not need lighting, the entire building complex looked dark, with only a faint Bursts of dark red light were revealed. Not long ago, several members of the circle wanted to rush in directly, but were hit back by a hail of arrows. Of course, they were silver arrows.
"There's nothing surprising about this. Weapons and equipment are very important to any organization, so it's not surprising that there are more people stationed there." Cisco touched his bald head. Because the reflection was too conspicuous at night, he received several blows. Shi was a little angry: "Just kill them all."
"Those of you with two-handed swords, can you think about it for me?" Wells was using a dagger to pry the arrows embedded in the shield: "I am the one who has been hit by the most arrows."
"Actually, tight defense is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe we caught a big fish by mistake." Wilkas pointed at the front door of the manor: "I have observed before that the front door has been locked by those silver hands. , even if we rush to the door, we still can't get in - in 'this form'."
"Hey, aren't you the one who is usually the most opposed to us carrying out tasks in 'that manner'?" Cisco Moon chuckled.
"Then what are you waiting for! Ouch-" Farkas roared up to the sky, his body began to become stronger quickly, and was covered with a layer of dark and hard hair, and eventually even his head turned into the shape of a wolf.
"Oh, what would happen if ordinary farmers and workers saw him like this?" Wilkas patted Farkas in werewolf form, his hand only reaching his waist: "Explain that we can control ourselves and are not that kind of wild werewolves. Do you think they will listen?"
"Ella's transformation is good, but it's a pity that no other female member has passed the test." Cisco Yue snorted and started to transform with a low growl.
"I guess you like the feeling of things growing on your head very much." Wells joked, earning a close-up bared teeth from Cisco.
"Wells, you don't have to change, we need a shield." Wilkas nodded at him, and thick black hair began to sprout all over his body: "We will find a way to open the door after jumping in, and then you can Get in."
"Then you guys -" Before Wells could finish his words, he saw three werewolves leaping out low and then leaping high after approaching the manor wall. The screams of the Silver Hand members within the wall began immediately. Ringing one after another.
"I hope they won't forget to open the door for me." He shrugged and approached the manor with his shield raised.
——3:00——
"Oh haha——" Ella cheered, sitting on the back of Arthur in dragon form: "I used to think that walking in the werewolf form was fast enough, but after meeting you, I felt that it was just a turtle crawling——"
Don't let other circle members hear this... Since Ella can't understand dragon language, Arthur didn't reply at all for safety reasons.
The distance from Wilheimer Castle to Starleo Manor is almost equivalent to traversing the entire Snowrun territory. If traveling by ordinary carriage, it would take about two days. However, flying in the form of a dragon only takes a few hours, and maybe even more. Able to arrive before those Circle members rushing away in werewolf form.
However, in view of the existence of the "Blade Warrior", in order to avoid being seen by looking up, Arthur flew close to the mountains along the way. In addition, it was late at night, unless those dragon slayers were monitoring the sky without sleeping at all. It is impossible to be discovered.
After safely passing the place where he met Sophie and Blade earlier, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid, I'm too afraid." Ella, who was sitting on the back of the red dragon, could naturally feel this. She raised her hand and patted him hard: "I'm afraid of the Blade Warriors, they'll all be gone if I take one breath of the dragon's breath."
Not to mention that I don’t know how to use dragon breath, even if I can, if I do that, the first one to deal with this evil dragon will be the comrades! Arthur grunted twice in his throat to express his dissatisfaction.
"Well, we can see the destination. It seems they have succeeded?" Ella looked towards the intersection of the two rivers, where a raging fire was burning out of a manor.
"[(Dragon language) No! Something's wrong! Hurry up!]" In Arthur's field of vision, an unusually large "breath of death" was gathering over the burning manor, forming a large whirlpool. He reminded Ai With a word of pull, he immediately flapped his wings and swooped down.
There is no entity at all, just a vortex of "death" that gathers together. Arthur feels that he seems very familiar, but it is definitely not the one in front of him, because the "evil" mixed in the vortex of death is too obvious. What caused this vortex, Must be some kind of monster that takes pleasure in killing for no reason, instead of... not what?
"Here's Hircine! What is that!" Ella exclaimed, completely unaware of what she had exposed.
In the manor where the houses collapsed, the corpses of silver-handed vampires were everywhere. However, except for a small number of people who died from sword wounds and claw wounds, most of them became as shriveled as the corpses in the ancient tombs, and they could not Stand up like those wights.
And among the corpses, there was a giant green-skinned monster floating. It looked like a human, but it had a strong body, its hands were replaced with a pair of huge claws, its huge head had no hair, and its facial features were vicious. Its eyes glowed horribly red, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
Tsk - The corpse of a Silver Hand member held in its "hand" made a strange sound, and then deflated directly, just like other mummies on the ground.
"[Hoho——]" The monster smiled humanely when it saw the swooping dragon, and then reached out to grab a werewolf who was lying on the ground and struggling.
"Stop! You monster!" Ella jumped up excitedly and stamped her feet: "Arthur! Kill him quickly! Save Cisco Moon!"
"[f]!" If he attacks after landing, it will definitely be too late. Although the werewolf is strong, he will not be any stronger than those vampires if he is caught by this monster. When he dives, Arthur spits directly Eyes roared out.
Boom - Since the green monster was floating in the air and had nowhere to move, it was blown away and crashed into the burning ruins after encountering the storm caused by the dragon's roar.
"What's going on! Cisco Moon? Where are the others?" Arthur stared at the ruins warily, while Ella jumped off the dragon's back to help Cisco Moon in werewolf form.
"Huh...I'll cut off the news and ask them to report the news..." Cisco Yue turned back to his human form and gasped: "Obviously, those guys didn't listen to me."
"Hey, the comrades don't have the custom of abandoning their comrades and running away. The Shield Brothers will never walk alone." Walking out of the relatively intact wall not far away were two werewolves who were covered in burns and in a state of embarrassment, and their armor was twisted and deformed in many places. , Wells, whose shield had never left his hand, was gone.
"Won't you run away together?" Ella glared at them: "Why don't you run away from an enemy that is obviously unbeatable?"
Crash - the burning ruins exploded, the monster got up again, stretched out its hand towards the comrades group, and the huge suction force that followed made the two werewolves stagger a little and wanted to get off the ground, and the lightest one Ella, who was already flying, was blocked by Arthur's raised wings.
"[(Dragon language) You guys stand back!]" Arthur pushed his comrades back, spread his wings and pounced on the huge monster. The monster grabbed the red dragon's wings and seemed to want to repeat the same trick, but it was completely unable to suck it. What, instead, the dragon's claws left several deep wounds on his body, so he became even more furious.
"According to the Silver Hands, that thing is a high-level being called the 'Vampire Lord'. This bloodline comes from a direct gift from the demon god Molag Bal. However, if the mind is not enough, it will become a bloodthirsty person who only knows killing. Monster." Wilkas turned back into a human and said a little weakly.
"He was called 'Treva' by the other Silver Hands, and his appearance matched the intelligence. He was originally of normal size and fought with us, but after being injured and absorbing a Silver Hand member, his size began to grow -" Wells pointed. Referring to the giant green monster entangled with Arthur, "And then, as you can see."
"That guy is crazy. Rather than chasing us, he prefers to absorb the Silver Hand - I don't know what it is." Farkas, who was the most seriously injured, fell to the ground immediately after changing back to his human form, and said with a groan.
"So, this is still a weapons manufacturing site, but the weapons have become themselves." Ella shook her ears: "devouring the same kind will make you stronger. At first glance, it is not a serious power."
"Ha, so we were just dealing with low-level peripheral members before with great fanfare?" Cisco laughed.
"Silverhand must be destroyed," Wilkas concluded.
Boom! "[yl]!"
Although the vampire king is powerful, he has little sense of fighting. He only relied on his huge size and powerful magic to suppress the werewolves in the circle. After encountering the red dragon who was immune to all those tricks, he was quickly defeated by Ya Se knocked it to the ground and stomped on it with its claws, breathing fire.
"[Ho ho ho!!]" Finally, the green monster howled and gradually turned into ashes in the dragon flames.
"[(Dragon Language) We have to go back as soon as possible -]" Arthur turned to the rings. Before he finished speaking, he began to shrink back into a human form. Then his vision went black and he fainted to the ground. He could still hear vaguely in his ears. Discussion among comrades.
"Fortunately, I'm not in dragon form..."
"Will he have to eat again when he wakes up?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the nearest village?"
"I think it's... Ivarstead? It's at the foot of Hrothgar's Peak."
