My name is Akatosh,
When Hakon thinks about it, I want to laugh.

"Your men are all in a tough fight, aren't they?"
In addition to the surface buildings, the Drifting Shadow Shelter also has complex and huge underground spaces built against the mountains. In these underground spaces, there are many empty coffins. It is obvious that their "residents" have been Summoned to the surface to intercept the invaders.
Among the underground rooms filled with empty coffins, there is one room that uniquely displays the decoration style of wealthy aristocratic mansions in major cities. However, under those gorgeous and exquisite decorations, there is a faint hint of coldness, cruelty and death. breath.
The speaker was a middle-aged man with curly black hair and a beard who was sitting on a high-backed chair in the middle of the room. He was wearing exquisite aristocratic clothing with black background and red edges with many gold decorations, and a dark red He wears gloves, leather boots, a sword at his waist, and a fur cloak. The most eye-catching thing is that he has a transparent pale gold longbow on his back with a distinct elf-style shape. This middle-aged man looked like a wealthy lord who was about to go hunting - if his eyes didn't emit a dull yellow light.
"This was part of the plan, wasn't it?"
The person who responded to him was sitting opposite him, a dark-haired woman who looked much younger. She was wearing a dark red background, a weird culottes made of velvet and leather. It seemed that the designer was focusing on She balances beauty and convenience but the effect is not good. Although her appearance is difficult to judge due to the yellow light flashing in her eyes, judging from the almost arcless eyebrow line and the relatively cold facial contour, she is a resolute and confident "person" .
"According to your plan, as long as I do this, the 'sun' will go out, and the 'eternal night' belonging to vampires will come, right?" The middle-aged man took off the gorgeous long bow from behind and pointed towards the ceiling. Xu plucked the bowstring twice.
"That's it, Lord Hakon," the young woman responded: "Since the Vigilant has been hiding for many years, if the backbone of the Comrades and the top brass of the Silver Hand die together here, their remaining forces will definitely fight against each other at any cost. Conquest, after they decide the winner, we can easily eliminate them, and without the comrades in charge, Snowman will be unable to continue to maintain its 'neutral' position, and the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks will compete for control of it. There will be a fierce conflict, and by that time, no force will be able to stop the rise of the Vampire Clan."
"Seriously, Hestra, don't you have any resistance at all to designing your former comrades? If your plan succeeds, they, and even the comrades, will become history." Hakon raised his hand and drew a line from the air. The arrow, which was filled with a faint black mist, was placed on the bowstring, and then he looked at her with a half-smile.
"I think you should have confidence in your transformation," Hestra's expression remained unchanged: "Deliberately sneaking into the comrades to infect me and letting me offer to be an undercover through hints, and then directly before any planning started. Forcibly converted, and then passed back the ridiculous excuse of 'I can only provide information because I am too closely watched', and those stupid dogs actually believed it."
"Hmm, judging from the way you easily destroyed and controlled Silver Hand's top brass, if you had wanted to destroy our 'Vampire Alliance', you would have succeeded long ago." Hakon continued to chat, seemingly not planning to do so. Just shoot the bow and fire the arrow as planned.
"Position determines altitude, identity determines stance. Now you are beginning to suspect that I have arrangements for you." Seeing Hakon's doubts, Hestra showed a sarcastic tone: "I haven't done anything in these years. It is done by your own hands, and any plan must be studied repeatedly by you before it is approved and executed by your entourage and servants. Has there ever been any problem?"
"I am the only one of the first vampires with the blood of the Great Lord, which proves that my caution is important and very necessary." Hakon looked at the ceiling, seeming to look through it at the battle on the ground: "This If the arrow falls, they will all die without a doubt, but is the consequence really what you said?"
"You can deduce it yourself." Hestra did not answer.
"Obviously, if the plan succeeds, the future development will indeed be as you said, and there is no problem with the plan itself, but now I discovered something," Hakon took aim for a while and put away the exquisite longbow. To the back: "In the final step of this plan, 'I' and 'Ariel's Bow' appeared, two variables that had never been included in the plan."
"That's—" "No, you don't have to explain."
Hakon interrupted Hestra's words and continued: "The Bow of Ariel was obtained after the plan was proposed, and the need for 'me' to take action was due to the unexpected increase in the opponent's strength, so there was no need for it. The doubt has nothing to do with the original intention of the plan, and if there was no unexpected 'third point' I might actually do it."
"What's the third point'?" Hestra frowned slightly.
"The Lord of Vampires, the King of Cold Harbor, [Molag Bal] was severely injured not long ago." Hakon stared at Hestra with his eyes glowing yellow: "The reason is that he tried to harvest a The soul of the 'Standall Vigilant'."
"This..." Hestra was speechless for a moment.
"Although the information about Markas has not been transmitted yet, the only thing that can severely damage a demon god is the Holy Spirit or - other demon gods." Hakon patted the longbow behind him: "'Ali-E' is one of the eight Holy Spirits. [Akatosh] is a pseudonym among the elves. If I really use it to attack members of the comrades, I will undoubtedly be discovered by the demon or the Holy Spirit who is targeting us. The consequences will be unpredictable, even if Tianji goes as expected. If chaos breaks out, it probably won’t have anything to do with us.”
"How do I know-" Hestra frowned tightly.
"So, there is nothing wrong with your plan, but the steps to implement it need to be changed," Hakon laughed, with deep malice: "I will leave first, and you will be responsible for killing them all with your own hands."
——13:14——
[Sword of Oath and Victory]!
After confirming that there were no more vampires hidden in this headquarters, the golden sword, which was originally used as an ordinary two-handed sword for combat, was raised high by Arthur, and then the bright golden color flooded the entire hall like a raging tide.
"No! This is not the same as promised-" The three vampire kings screamed in the light, and then disappeared completely.
"Although he is an 'Elf Killer', he is also very good at cutting down the undead..." Wells leaned against the wall and panted. Since he was fighting a melee king who could restore his physical strength through damage, the three brothers had almost no one. Still standing well, Farkas threw himself to the ground - fortunately, the corpses of vampires all over the ground were also purified by "Uslad".
"Ha, 'your life is like a candle in the wind'? Where do these guys get their confidence?" Ella stood on the commanding heights of the hall with Kalia, holding a bow: "The pressure they caused even a few of our I haven’t even revealed my trump card.”
The so-called "trump card", there are only two transformations left. Arthur glanced at her with his long sword. Ella's werewolf transformation was almost useless in the situation of being besieged, and his dragon transformation It can't be used in this narrow place.
However, in view of the presence of Kallia, who was not yet familiar with him, he did not say this out loud. People with higher status among the various forces in Skyrim should generally know that the senior members of the comrades are werewolves, but his dragon transformation, The fewer people who know, the better.
"Are they the leaders of Silver Hand? Is there someone hiding quietly, waiting for this opportunity?" Farkas said feebly: "I'm just kidding, hahaha..."
"'Crow's Mouth' Farkas, you are still the same as before," a cold and indifferent female voice said: "It seems that when I volunteered to be an undercover agent, you also said, 'What if I don't come back?' So, I Should I kill you first?"
"Hestra!" Ella suddenly opened her bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at a young woman who walked into the hall from the secret passage.
"It seems that the comrades-in-arms have not made any progress over the years, and their style of conduct is still stuck in 'kicking in the door' without considering whether there are any traps behind the 'door'." Hestra looked at Ella mockingly.
"I have confirmed, no." Although Kalia only joined temporarily, he argued out of confidence in his professionalism.
"It's really hard for you to join this team composed entirely of reckless men, Miss Thief, and Mr. Mage." Hestra nodded silently to Kaliya and Septim, then turned to Arthur: "And [Aka Tosh] Saint and Elect, Mr. Arthur Pendragon.”
"What? I don't...well." Arthur was surprised and wanted to refute, but inexplicably... didn't want to refute.
"What are you here for! Hestra! You must be the leader behind Silver Hand! Then we are the enemy!" Ella shouted without relaxing her bowstring.
"Me? Of course I'm here to kill you," Hestra said lightly, which made everyone instantly vigilant: "Originally, my plan was to let the Great Lord take action personally while you were fighting with those cracked Great Lord bloodlines. Destroy you all together, but at the last moment, the Great Lord doubted my true purpose, so he ordered me to kill you personally. As a direct bloodline, I cannot refuse his order."
"Directly?" Ella frowned: "So at the beginning..."
"So speaking of Silverhand's strange actions and motives..." Wilkas also pondered.
"I will not and cannot refuse the Lord's order, so you'd better fight with the purpose of killing me. If you have luck or mercy..." Hestra instantly turned into a group of bats and flew to the seriously injured Wells. In front of me: "I will die."
Ding! Ding! Two flying arrows stopped her claws from grabbing Wells, and at the same time, other members of the comrades also entered the fighting state again.
He—he—
Hestra's figure stooped, and her long hair covered her face, but it could not cover the yellow light that suddenly brightened in her eyes. Her body kept shaking, her teeth and nails on her hands became sharp, and at the same time she exhaled bursts of hot heat from her mouth. of steam, but overall it has not turned into the ugly appearance of the previous monarchs.
Does the ability to transform seem to have special treatment for women? Arthur was slightly distracted thinking about Leah and Ella's werewolf transformations.
"[Cry! Scream! Then go die!]" The sharp roar had just sounded, and Hestra had already rushed to Arthur with the afterimage.
