Three days later, on the road north of Hemu Town that leads to the original Xueman City, only a few miles away from Hemu Town, two embarrassed figures were staggering forward and running away. They even continued to scatter their obstructive baggage and some valuables, such as ancient Nord gold coins, utensils, gems and other things everywhere.
Although those things are always valuable, in order to run faster and for their own lives, the two of them can no longer care so much at this time...
'! ! '
'quick! Run! Zagonburg! But don't be surrounded by them! '
'faster! '
'call! call! '
'...'
'call! '
'I! I also want to run faster, but I am wearing plate armor and you are wearing leather armor. Can I run as fast as you? '
'And, Larov, can't you wait for me first? '
A man who was left behind for dozens of meters shouted angrily towards a certain archer and stormcloak general who was running fast in front.
'What do you want me to do? '
'Do you want to run slowly with you, and then wait to be caught by the Empire's people, and then take you to Hemu Town and chop off your head in front of my sister? ! '
A certain Stormcloak general who hadn't slowed down at all was running without forgetting, while turning back towards someone who was panting heavily. It was very likely that he would fall to the ground in the next second, and then run away completely. The partner and subordinate who couldn't fall off joked loudly.
'Zagenberg! '
'You are the Dragonborn. You are the one destined to save the world. The wheel of fortune has turned to you. Maybe you should stop and use a dragon roar to prove your identity? '
'I don't think the imperial cavalry will let you go? '
As he spoke, Ralof felt that it was not a good idea to continue running north along the road, so he suddenly turned around, got into the forest, and started running towards the Ravenwood Mountains in the northwest direction.
'Dragonborn? '
'damn it! forget it! '
'You have also seen that Alduin's head has been stuck on the wall of Snowrun City for almost a month. Those guys in the Imperial Army will definitely not let my head go just because I am a Dragonborn! '
'Hello! '
'Wait, wait for me! '
'Larov! Please, our friendship is a life-long friendship. As a friend, can't you help me carry my weapon? ! '
Seeing the other party turning, Zagenbao knew that he would definitely not be able to outrun the cavalry along the road, so he didn't even think about it. He followed up directly and plunged into the mountain forest, intending to follow the other party to climb the mountain, although that would make him... Does a dragonborn wearing heavy armor consume more energy?
However, he can't control that much now, especially if he doesn't want to die!
In fact, if the guys from the Imperial Army hadn't been chasing him too hastily, he would have stopped and taken off all the armor on his body.
'Feel sorry! '
'Is there any reason why generals need soldiers to carry weapons? '
'Zagenberg! I advise you to throw away your weapons quickly, then maybe you can still keep up with me...'
call! call!
Although he was wearing leather armor and a set of light chain breastplates, after being chased by the enemies of the empire for so long and battling wits and courage for so long, Raloff was almost at his limit, so His breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
Now he feels a little regretful, really...
The two of them should have gone east and returned to Windhelm City directly after seeing the situation in Snowman City. In that case, they would not have been discovered and hunted down by the Imperial Army, right? But it's a pity that they didn't know what was going on in their heads at that time, and they actually returned to Hemu Town. Before they had time to say a few words to their sister, the empire's forwards entered the town, and then, This is the current situation.
'No! '
'no way! '
'Without the heavy sword, how can I kill those imperial cavalry? ! '
To be honest, fortunately the imperial troops who discovered them were all heavy-armored cavalry and infantry. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long for the two of them to have been overtaken and surrounded or hacked to death, right?
Facing those guys who are like wolves and tigers and who are likely to have reinforcements at any time, even Zhagenbao, who is a dragonborn and has learned the dragon roar of 'Unrequited Strength', does not have much chance of winning! In fact, no one wants to face off against a group of soldiers who are well-equipped and well-cooperated, especially if the opponent is still a legionnaire under that old guy Tullius?
'You'd better forget it! '
'Even if you have a heavy sword, I advise you not to fight with the cavalry on our horses, because you will definitely die miserably! '
Larov, who has been in battle for a long time, knows better than anyone else what the consequences will be if the infantry confronts a running heavy cavalry, especially when there is more than one enemy? Of course, it would be a different matter if it was the guy from Fort Zage who knew how to roar a dragon, and could possibly roar the enemy off his horse with just one shout?
But that was of no use, because the number of enemies was enough to make them give up any idea of returning to fight the enemies.
'Maybe we should have listened to your sister and stayed in the sawmill? '
Zagenburg regretted running out, and complained that Gerdo was so ruthless and didn't even help them.
'Come on! '
'We have been informed, believe me, the chance of escaping and surviving is higher! '
In any case, it was impossible to hide under the circumstances at that time, and the enemy's forward force was in the town. Therefore, Larov did not blame his sister, because he knew that even if his sister Goldo If they jumped out to help, they would probably be hacked to death with knives or taken to the Caishikou of Hemu Town and beheaded together?
Therefore, apart from continuing to run here, it definitely doesn't make much sense to think about those things.
'! ! '
'Well? ! '
Suddenly, Zha Genbao saw that Larov, who had just run to the hill and was about to take a shortcut to hide in the mountains, suddenly stopped and stood motionless on the hill, just breathing heavily. , as if waiting for him?
'call! ''call! '
'Very good! '
'call! '
'Larov! I, I just thought you really didn't wait for me! '
'call! ''call! ''call! '
Seeing that Larov above finally realized his conscience and stopped at the top of the hill, Zagenbao, who had fallen dozens of steps, was overjoyed. He managed to muster up the last energy and dragged his heavy steps. , chasing up the hillside desperately.
Seriously, next time…
If there is a next time, he will definitely not be stupid enough to wear plate armor under his leather jacket while venturing outside. That would be really torturous... Usually he doesn't feel like it, but here he is. , even though there is a soft sweat-absorbent lining inside, I'm afraid the skin on his inner thighs is a little scratched, otherwise, he wouldn't feel the burning pain now.
After all, even though they are all a group of rough men, the skin on the inner thighs is still very tender.
'Feel sorry……'
'Brother, to be honest, I don't want to wait for you at all, really...'
After swallowing his saliva and looking at a certain Zagenburg that was huffing and puffing up the hill, Larov opened his mouth for a long time and corrected himself with difficulty with his smile that was a bit uglier than crying.
'! ! '
'All right! I can see that what you said is indeed true. I am really happy to have a friend like you...'
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, Zagenbao, who had not had time to take a few breaths, was frightened by the imperial cavalry and infantry lined up on the path about a hundred meters ahead, who were watching them silently. He knew without counting that there were at least dozens of people on the other side, and they were definitely not something they could deal with now!
unless……
The other parties come up to challenge them one by one. Maybe in that case, the two of them still have a little chance to survive?
Clang!
'Man! '
'Do you want to surrender? '
Then, he turned towards the people behind him where he could faintly hear the movement and shouts and curses. He thought about it, and finally desperately pulled out the weapon he was carrying behind him that he had brought out from the Huangpu Ancient Tomb. He asked Ralof softly about the ancient Nord sword that was said to be worth hundreds of Septins.
'No! I don't want to at all! '
'I know that if we are caught again, they will definitely send us to the guillotine as soon as possible! Moreover, there is really no Alduin or other giant dragons coming to cause trouble this time...'
Uh-huh!
He had no choice but to see that the way forward was blocked and the way back was also outflanked. Now that he had no way to go to the sky or to the earth, Larov had no choice but to grit his teeth, put his bow and arrows on his back again, and then took out the arrows. He picked up the ancient Nord sword at his waist and prepared to fight the enemies to the end?
Because as long as the Nords die holding the sword, they will enter Sognard and enjoy a never-ending feast in the Hall of Valor there!
And that will be his endless glory!
Therefore, he would not surrender under such circumstances, and then die under the ax of some dirty executioner and be ridiculed by the enemy on a casual charge! Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want his sister to do some irrational behavior because of his arrest and beheading?
'And you? '
After pulling out his long sword, Larov asked.
'Neither do I! '
'very good! Then hurry up and prepare to fight and fight them to the end! '
'Um! Let's fight with them. If we fight until dark, maybe we still have a chance? '
'Dark? Zagenburg, can we really hold on for that long? '
'...'
'I think we can only hold on for a few breaths at most? '
'...'
'Hello! Don't you want to say something? '
'...'
'All right! Then let us die dullly...'
'snort! I'll use Dragon Roar later to see if I can grab a horse and run away? '
'I'm afraid not! '
'Why? '
'Because you are too heavy, two people riding one horse will definitely not be able to get rid of them! '
'oh! Thank you, but I didn't mean to take you away just now...'
'Have you really let me down, Zagenburg, my brother? '
'The same goes for you, my general...'
'...'
When the two of them were familiar with each other and joked with each other, in order to dispel the fear and uneasiness that surged from the bottom of their hearts before the deadly battle, on the opposite side, a general wearing beautiful plate armor slowly rode on his horse. He took a few steps forward, then pressed the hilt of his sword and said to Ralof:
'Larov, it's you...'
'It's such a pity. I didn't expect that we would meet again...and in this way that neither of us wanted? '
'I'm sorry this happened again...'
The man opposite was clearly the clerk Hadawa who drew their names and sent them to the guillotine when they were in Helgen! That friend from the same hometown who had known Larov since childhood, but had to go against each other because of different choices of allegiance!
And now, these two friends from the same hometown have once again been forced to confront each other, and have to try to kill each other?
'No! '
'Hadawa, if our current identities are transferred, I think I will be very happy! '
Being caught by the opponent both times, Larov was obviously very embarrassed in this situation! Therefore, he, who never loses even if he loses, pretends to be relaxed and teases the opponent.
'Larov...'
'Surrender quickly! You have no place to escape now. Maybe, if you cooperate, I will try to find a way for you to survive? '
After a moment of silence, Hadawa began to persuade him to surrender.
After all, when facing two trapped beasts, and they did not bring many archers, once a fight started, even if their side had an absolute advantage, if there were casualties accidentally, he would not want to see it. of! Therefore, if possible, he hoped that the other party would lay down their weapons and surrender and follow them back to Hemu Town to face trial.
'A way to survive? '
'ha! '
Hearing the other party's words, Larov immediately laughed.
'forget it! Hadawa! '
'If you can make the decision, maybe I will really surrender and stay in prison until I die... But I know that the old guy Tullius is in Riverwood Town now, and do you remember the last time? '
'In Helgen, your commander and the female captain were beheaded by my own hands. Do you think that old guy will let me go easily? '
'correct! '
'I must remind you: the guy next to me was also involved at that time. He stabbed that fierce bitch in the stomach with one sword, and then I caught the opportunity and chopped off her head! '
'look? '
'Her exquisite imperial sword is still on his waist! '
Rarov, who knew he was absolutely unlucky, didn't care about the possibility of completely irritating the enemy. He just laughed loudly to himself and said without any subtlety what he had done when he escaped from Helgen. Great achievements.
Maybe he just didn't want himself or his teammates to be captured alive by the other party, and then cut off the two of them's way of survival?
'...'
Although Zagenbao did not speak, he turned his head and glared at his companions dissatisfied.
Because what the other party said would obviously attract a lot of hatred to him. He didn't want to be angrily beaten by a large group of Imperial soldiers later, and then chopped into pieces with swords to vent his anger!
But speaking of it, he had no choice at that time. He was really wronged in Zagenburg... At that time, he really wasn't very familiar with the Stormcloak traitors, he was just passing by... It's a pity that the female captain just didn't Ken accepted his confession and forced him to choose to cooperate with Ralof and Ulfric when he was escaping. He worked hard to chop the stubborn woman to the ground, which was considered a small sigh of relief for himself. ?
'Yeah? '
'Larov, since you have decided, then...'
When he heard the other party say something that made him inexplicably angry, he thought of his former colleague and the heroic female captain's adjutant promoted by General Tullius who had made many military exploits but died unexpectedly at the hands of a fugitive. , Hadawa couldn't help but frowned and raised his hand fiercely.
'Get 'em! '
'Live or die! ! ! '
tap! tap!
????
As Hadawa's order was issued, the two imperial cavalry took the lead in wielding war hammers that were very suitable for hitting people on war horses. They accelerated their horses from a distance, crossed both sides of Hadawa who was standing still, and headed towards Zaha. Genbao and Larov rushed in!
At the same time, the soldiers of the Imperial Army also held their spears or swords and shields high, followed quickly, and surrounded them towards the top of the hill in front.
'! ! '
'Zagenburg? '
Seeing two cavalrymen rushing towards him, didn't Larov know that this was an excellent opportunity? Therefore, while feeling anxious, he excitedly shouted towards Zagenburg.
'snort! '
Roar! ! ! ????????
The word of power - power, 'unrelieved power' activates! !
Zha Genbao, who knew that the opportunity was tight and would not come again, saw the two cavalry approaching gradually, and waited patiently until the other party was only about ten steps away from them, then he suddenly released a cry that he had been brewing for a long time towards the other party. The dragon roars!
'! ! '
'? ? '
Then, very smoothly, the two cavalrymen suddenly became excited and immediately fell off their horses when the horses were frightened!
However……
'Chirp~! '
'Jiujiuer~! '
What surprised Zagenburg and Larov was that they actually saw:
Those two damn Imperial horses actually whined and screamed twice because they were seriously surprised, then turned around and ran away. When they seized the opportunity at the first opportunity and ran forward, they ran up to the fallen Imperial knight. , the other party has completely run away and cannot be caught up? !
'You should yell more quietly! '
'Shut up! '
'...'
Crack!
'! ! '
puff! !
While Ralof was complaining, he stabbed the sword into the throat of the imperial knight who was knocked dizzy. Then he pulled out the sword tip, which was completely stained red, and then used a desperate move. His eyes looked at Zagenburg, who had chopped off the head of another knight with a heavy sword and lost his best chance of escape due to excessive force.
Obviously, some of their calculations accidentally went wrong. They succeeded in taking down the imperial knights, but they also lost the opportunity to capture the horses...
'! ! '
'quick! Run! '
'This way! good chance! '
'Wait for me! ! '
However, it seems that they have no chance now?
Because they saw that when the two war horses turned and fled, they directly knocked over the two imperial soldiers on the other side and caused chaos in the encirclement over there. Therefore, it was enough to deal with the two enemies smoothly. They ran over there!
But this time, even Zhagenbao directly threw away his great Nord sword from the Wild Waterfall Tomb, and instead pulled out the exquisite long sword of the imperial female captain that was very capable of attracting hatred.
Because he knew that carrying a giant sword would definitely not allow him to run as fast as a single-handed sword! Moreover, he was very sure that this time, that Larov would never stop and wait for him, and neither would he!
'asshole! '
'Stop them! '
Although he didn't know what happened, Hadawa, who was still riding on our horse and trying to control the horse, roared angrily at the soldiers over there.
'! ! '
'kill! ! '
'Drink~! ! '
Clang! !
clang! ! !
'? ? '
'Uh-huh! '
puff! !
'! ! '
'Damn it! Don't let them run away, chase them quickly! ! '
After discovering that the opponent did not know what moves he had used, leading to the tragic death of two elite imperial knights, and that his own horse seemed unwilling to obey his command, Hadawa jumped off his horse in a rage and led the soldiers towards the distance. The two fugitives and rebels who had knocked over and chopped down a sword and shield soldier chased after him.
He will definitely not let those two guys run away, and he is also very sure that with nearly two hundred people from their legion chasing them, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to escape!
…
as expected!
After ten minutes...
'They're right ahead! '
'quick! '
'Go around and block them! '
'Others, keep chasing! ! '
'over there! '
'...'
The soldiers of the Imperial Army once again caught up with two fugitives who were panicking and took advantage of the cavalry to surround them.
'call! call! '
'No, Larov, if this continues, I will be exhausted before they come to kill me. I really can't run anymore! '
For Zagenburg, who was running wildly in plate armor, he had really reached his limit now. So, maybe he was accepting his fate, or maybe he really didn't want to run anymore, so he stopped and turned around. And face the imperial soldiers who were also panting from a distance and surrounded them.
'call! ''call! '
'I can't run anymore...'
'Stop it, do you have to fight a few more times even if you die? '
In fact, Ralof could continue running for a while, but when he saw the few light-armored knights in front of them who had already circled their way, he stopped wisely.
'good! '
'call! ''call! '
Finally, after being chased up two hills, Larov and Zhagenbao had to stop on a high ground, knowing that they could not outrun the enemy despite the overwhelming number of people and seemingly light cavalry.
'Give! '
'I will assist in shooting cold arrows and those archers! '
Then, Ralof handed his long sword to Zagenbao and asked him to hold it dually. Then he took off the bow and arrow on his back and prepared for the final fight.
????
Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
In the distance, the enemy archers had stopped and shot several arrows towards them, two of which were also shot towards Zagenburg! But it was a pity that he, who was dual-wielding long swords, swatted them away in two strokes.
??
Whoosh~!
'Uh-huh! '
Larov, who was condescending, had the advantage of the terrain, and was an elite archer himself, of course refused to let the enemy shoot. He shot an arrow, and let the long arrow accurately hit the neck of an imperial archer in the distance. In the nest, the other party screamed and burst into bright red, while rolling directly down the mountain.
'! ! '
'Kill! ! '
After seeing that Larov shot down an enemy and forced the shooters to hide behind tree trunks and not dare to shoot at him unscrupulously, Zhagenbao roared and shot directly towards him. The few imperial sword, shield, and spearmen who had gathered below rushed down!
Clang!
clang! !
puff!
'Ah! ! '
'kill! ! '
Crack!
'Wow! ! '
??
Whoosh~!
????
Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Although it was just two people fighting with a group of imperial soldiers, the battle was very fierce, with arrows flying up and down, the sound of breaking through the air and the sound of weapons clashing one after another, which made people panic. Of course, it was definitely indispensable. The sound of weapons cutting into human bodies and some people screaming.
However, this battle did not last long...
'Um! '
A grunt!
When a certain Zagenbao exploded with all its strength and killed two imperial soldiers and wounded the anxious man, he was directly nailed to a tree by the enemy with a spear stuck in his shoulder!
'...'
And let alone a certain marksman!
In a battle formation, it is impossible to fight one against a hundred. Therefore, when Zagenburg was nailed to a tree by a spearman of the Imperial Army, Larov was also hit in the shoulder and chest. He shot an arrow, and then he had to slump to the ground, unable to stand up to draw the bow or draw the dagger from his waist to fight...
'...'
Soon, the commander of the imperial soldiers, Hadawa, who was responsible for hunting down the fugitives, stepped forward with a livid face. After first looking at the dead and injured soldiers, he fiercely moved toward those who had been subdued by the soldiers three or five times. Larov and a guy named Zagenburg were escorted to the front.
Just to catch these two men, they dispatched nearly two hundred soldiers, and also paid a heavy price in the death of two knights, an archer, and three legion infantrymen, plus dozens of others injured?
'you……'
'Pull out! Beheaded! Bring the head back to Hemu Town for public display! ! '
Such heavy casualties, combined with old and new grudges, were enough for Hadawa to issue an order to behead the two men on the spot!
Therefore, the imperial soldiers who had long been dissatisfied dragged the two people who were struggling and covered in blood to a big tree like wolves and tigers, and then directly tied the two people to it, as if Are you going to use the tree trunk as a guillotine to behead the two of them?
'Ahem...'
'They are so rude...'
'Okay, Larov, you were only hit by two arrows, but I was shot once. They don't need to chop me, I will bleed out later...'
'Ahem...'
'I was hit by three arrows, and one in my knee...'
'ah! I saw……'
'...'
Soon, the soldiers of the Imperial Army tied the ropes, and then Zagenburg and Larov also sighed and closed their mouths and eyes together, not intending to continue to struggle pointlessly.
'Prepare for execution! ! '
When an Imperial soldier came to the tree trunk with a giant ax in his hand, another captain yelled.
'...'
'Pooh……'
Zhagenbao slowly closed his eyes, while Larov spitted hard at the soldier with bloody spit.
'snort! '
'Damn rebel! go to hell! ! '
The soldier who was spat on didn't say anything, he just raised the tomahawk in his hand fiercely, ready to chop off the heads of the two prisoners one by one.
'Execution! ! '
When the officer saw that the soldiers were ready, he yelled again.
??
Whoosh~!
boom! !
Suddenly, just as they were about to be beheaded, and just as the tomahawk with its gleaming cold light was about to be swung sideways, a burst of fire appeared in the distance, and then a fireball flew towards them. And exploded, directly knocking over the imperial soldiers who were preparing for execution...
'! ! '
'Enemy attack~! ! '
A shrill shout rang out.
When the soldiers who were blown over found that they didn't seem to have much of a problem and quickly got up and rushed towards the gathering place, they soon saw a little girl standing on the high road in the distance. Appeared, and behind the opponent were monsters burning with flames, holding some kind of terrifying weapon that was burned red in their hands?
And if you take a closer look, it's not difficult to find that they seem to be lava monsters burning with flames? !
"Hi!"
(??????▽??????)
"Larov and Zhagenburg, are you okay?"
??(ψ｀▽′)o
"Wow!"
=???????(??????*)
"Why are you so useless and beaten so badly by others?!"
=???????(??????????????)
Anne saw it. Those two guys seemed to be almost dead without anyone else cutting them... It was really pitiful. Maybe they should have appeared later. In that case, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about saving each other?
(…)
(￢??￢.)
'! ! '
'monster! '
'quick! Form a formation! Form a formation! ! '
The soldiers of the Imperial Army were still arranging their formations under the scolding of a low-ranking officer, and soon formed several neat small square formations in that relatively flat place, watching the man who was slowly walking away. The little girl close by and the terrifying monsters behind him, like hell demons.
'you! '
'Are you the rumored demon god who massacred Xueman City and summoned monsters? ! '
Hadawa was shocked, and then he ignored the thoughts of the dozens of imperial soldiers around him. He was so frightened that he took two steps back and asked tremblingly.
Obviously, he had also heard about the situation in Xueman City, and had always felt that even if it was true, it wouldn't be too outrageous. But how could he have imagined that the truth was even more terrifying than he imagined?
Looking at the monsters behind the other party, and seeing the flame demons igniting flowers and plants or scorching branches and leaves when they walked on the road, he could already imagine what a terrible situation it would be when they went to fight the other party.
"You are the devil!"
??(??`^????)??
"that……"
(??????.??????)????????
"By the way, what are we doing here in Hemu Town?!"
(??????)?
Anne was about to say something, but suddenly forgot her words, so she had to turn around, face the fire elemental man, and ask the chief of the Virgina Gray Mane tribe.
'...'
'Sir, the reason we came to Hemu Town this time is to allow Tullius to withdraw from Hemu Town and outside the territory of Xueman City before sunrise tomorrow. Otherwise, we will launch an attack on them! ! '
Patriarch Vagina Graymane hesitated for a moment, and finally reported it honestly.
"Ah! That's right! That's it!"
(????????-)??
"I don't want to fight you now, why don't you go back and report it quickly?!"
??(??????~????)╭??
Looking at the soldiers who, even if they had formed a formation, still showed fearful faces and anxious eyes, Anne pointed at a certain officer who was an officer with her hands on her hips, like a fox pretending to be a tiger. The guy, the Hadawa whom she had met once, scolded.
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
'...'
'...'
'! ! '
'let's go! ! '
After a moment of silence, he looked at those terrifying evil demons, and then at the two prisoners who had been trapped on the tree trunks by his soldiers. Although he was very unwilling to do so, Hadawa, who knew that the situation was stronger than humans, was ruthlessly After taking a few deep breaths, he still had to wave his hand and gave the order to retreat, and slowly retreated with his wounded men.
As for those who died in battle, they can't take care of them for the time being...
Because, he must return to Hemu Town as soon as possible and then report to General Tullius! At that time, whether to fight, retreat, or defend, it can only be handled by their empire's top military commander in Tianji Province. He, Hadawa, was definitely not qualified to intervene in such a major matter.
However, he only knows that something big is going to happen in Skyrim Province, and it may be even more serious than the Stormcloak rebellion...
