For the villagers who have lived in Hemu Town for generations, even if the imperial troops have not done anything to them since they stationed here, and even if they do not bully or embarrass them in normal times, they can never welcome them. The reason!
In fact, not only are they not welcoming, but they can also be said to be slightly hostile?
Because it was precisely because of the battle between the Imperial Army and the Thalmor, and because of the always-criticized undefeated result, that the "Platinum Agreement" was signed and the Thalmor's judicial institutions were rampant in Skyrim Province, and many arrests were made. And the persecution of the Nords who believed in Talos happened, which made the Nords feel inexplicably angry!
For most Nords in Skyrim, they don't know the twists and turns of political and military struggles. They just straightforwardly hate the Thalmor, even all high elves, the empire, and the imperial capital. of those incompetents, and secretly support and sympathize with the Stormcloaks!
Therefore, when the Imperial Army was fighting those fire demons outside Hemu Town in the morning, they would hide at home and do nothing, and sit back and watch the Imperial Army suffer a huge defeat and leave hundreds of corpses behind before fleeing to Falkreath. , fleeing to Lake Irinata and the foothills of Irinata.
but……
Even now, after the imperial army's legionnaires and Tullius were defeated and had to flee, the villagers of Hemu Town and the traders and travelers stranded here still did not dare to come out of their residences casually. They were hiding anxiously in their respective houses or hotels.
Because, those evil and terrifying fire monsters from Snowman City, or the new 'Fireman City', those fire people who claim to be the 'Fire Clan', those fire demons after defeating the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Occupying this place and announcing that Hemu Town has returned to the jurisdiction of the original Xueman Territory, which is now the 'Fire Man Territory'?
The villagers of Hemu Town don't want to deal with those Imperial people who are hostile to them. Likewise, they don't want to, and they don't dare to easily deal with those things that they don't know their details yet, those flame demons!
Therefore, even though the battle in the north of Hemu Town has been declared over for a long time now, and even though the dozens of flame demons stranded in Hemu Town do not bother them much, the villagers are still hiding in their homes in fear. , and observing everything outside the street through the window or the gap in the house, so that the entire Hemu Town maintains a strange calm from morning to dusk, and from dusk to night.
At this moment, outside the streets of Hemu Town, except for the personal fire cabinets and the flame demons who can illuminate the surroundings red without torches patrolling, standing guard or walking around, there is nothing at all. A figure of villagers from Hemu Town.
People are afraid of the new monsters...
Of course, there is an exception here!
On the small island in the middle of the river in Hemu Town, in the sawmill, a certain two people were saved by luck. Larov and Zagenburg were bandaged, as well as each other's relatives, Gerdo and Goldot's husband, Hood, and the most important little girl, the five of them were chatting quietly next to the bonfire under the big tree in the sawmill.
'elder sister…...'
'Okay, take good care of it! '
'Hey, you just said...'
'Hush! '
'Keep your voice down! '
'ah……'
'All right! '
'Pour me a drink? '
'Thanks! '
'...'
Larov, Goldo and the Zagenburg trio were whispering something, and then Goldo finally poured a full cup of some kind of refreshing hot drink into their glasses.
"..."
o(??ω??)o
At this time, Anne didn't speak or pay attention to them. She just blinked her big, impatient green eyes, shining under the firelight, and looked steadily at Aunt Goldot's husband and Uncle Hood. Help her roast the old hens from Hemu Town beside the campfire.
That's right, she was chased away by the unreasonable villagers because she mistakenly ate a chicken here, but she has always been worried about this!
So, after waiting until today, after her fire elemental beings came back and drove away the stubborn imperial army who wanted to occupy the fireman territory, she couldn't wait to kill all the chickens in a villager's house. He was captured here and asked to be washed and skinned by Uncle Hood and put on a wooden shelf!
Anyway, it's probably the kind of forced buying and selling?
(????ω????)
Anne only left one gold coin for that family, which was enough for the other person to buy twenty or thirty chickens, ducks or more, so she wouldn't feel guilty! And Annie promises that later, she will definitely eat with peace of mind and confidence!
(…)
ε=(????｀●)))Alas
"Hey! Uncle Hood..."
o(??ω??)o
"How long will it take? People are so hungry right now that their chests are pressed against their backs..."
=???????(??????*)
Anne didn't know if it was true that the front was against the back. Anyway, she only knew that she had sucked it off several times, and she couldn't wait for it!
And if the temperature on the Pyros hadn't been too high, and if these inexperienced guys weren't a little scared, maybe she would have called one of them over, and then lied on the ground and used it as a ready-made constant-temperature oven. !
As for whether those burning people had any other bad thoughts, she didn't care! Anyway, it’s not like she’s never done that kind of thing before!
"Well……"
"Let me see?"
Hearing the little girl's impatient urging, Hood did not dare to neglect. He first used a wooden skewer to tentatively prick one of the roasted chickens that looked similar. When he found that the juice leaking out was still red, After seeing the blood, he shook his head regretfully.
"ah!"
"No! Just wait a little longer. There's still blood inside. You have to wait a little longer..."
Hood also wanted to hurry up, after all, this little girl is now a powerful big shot that none of them can afford to offend! However, what can he do if the meat is not cooked yet? Could it be that he dares to increase the firepower and scorch them?
"Not yet cooked?!"
=???????(??????????????)
"Really..."
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
"If I had known this, I should have eaten something first!!"
??????(＿＿*)????
If it wasn't for revenge, if it wasn't for eating all the chickens raised by that unruly family, she wouldn't have been hungry and waited for so long! However, it’s too late to regret now. I’ve been staring at him for so long anyway, so I’ll just keep waiting!
(…..)
(lll￢??￢)
(Tibbers doesn’t want to comment on a bad little master’s idea of retribution, because he knows that nothing he says now is useless. His little master’s temperament underneath his cute appearance is... It’s definitely not because of the influence of Tibbers that it’s so bad!)
"Eh?!"
(??????.??????)????????
"Aunt Gerdo, what did you want to say just now? People have seen you open your mouth several times. Just ask what you want to ask directly. They won't eat you!"
??(????????????)??
Seeing those roast chickens that might smell delicious but not edible for the time being, seeing the sister who was "almost headless Raloff" several times, the aunt with "cut off ears" opened her mouth several times without hesitating to speak. , before the other party could make up his mind, Anne turned her head directly and asked curiously.
"ah!"
"..."
"Yes, that's it, Annie..."
"I want to know, are you really a demon god? Did you really burn the entire Snowman City to death with a fire and turn them all into that kind of flame monster?!"
In fact, Gerdo and her husband had heard this rumor before from many farmers and traders near Xueman City who fled south, as well as from her brother Larov. However, the only difference is: everyone Are the versions told different?
So, she is now very interested in knowing the real situation, especially the first-hand real news from the mouth of a certain instigator?
At this time, although they had the courage to speak out, the fear in their hearts was still there...
After all, anyone who sees a little girl who can turn an entire city of living people into that kind of terrifying and powerful fire monster will definitely be able to help but beat their drums... and this is also his. The reason why my husband Hood is willing to be a chef there respectfully and work hard to develop his cooking skills!
perhaps……
Maybe there is a little reason because the other party saved her brother Larov again?
Because her brother had said before that if the other party hadn't arrived in time yesterday, he and the very strong Zagenburg boy would have been beheaded by those bastards of the Imperial Army! And when she thought about her own brother being almost killed by those imperial people again, she couldn't help but feel the endless anger in her heart!
She swore that next time, if the Imperial Army guys passed through Riverwood Town again, she would put something interesting in their pot or water.
"that……"
"If it's not convenient to say it, you don't have to say it?"
After Goldo asked anxiously, both Hood, who was busy beside the charcoal fire, and Larov and Zagenburg, who were bandaged and holding hot drinks in their hands, all looked curiously at the same time. Annie looked over.
Apparently, all of them seemed very, very interested in this matter and wanted to know the gap between fact and rumor?
"It's not like I can't say it..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Anyway, I'm not a demon!"
o(??^｀)o
For such a low-level thing like the Demon God, Anne burned one to death in Snowman City at that time. How could she be such a weak person who could only play tricks?
"Also, they didn't kill the entire Snowrun city, they saved them! At that time, Alduin and his accomplices had burned almost the entire Snowrun city, and many people died. , in order to save them, they accidentally messed up a little bit..."
(*/??＼*)
Yes, just a little! As for the measurement unit of 'a little bit' and the range of values it represents, she won't explain that much.
"Anyway, that's probably what it's like, right?"
(^_^;)
Probably accidentally, he burned down the entire Xueman City, and then turned all the dead and alive into fire elemental beings, and turned into those flame people, who were standing guard over there and acting as street lights. 'The two guys from the 'Fire Clan' are just the same existence?
(Accidentally...)
(￢??￢.)
(Tibbers said: Words like being unhelpful, unreliable, wanton, acting recklessly, doing whatever you want, willful, unscrupulous, lawless, and other similar words with a slight derogatory meaning or more derogatory meanings can basically be used to describe it. Like a bad little master in his family, and guaranteed to be very appropriate!)
Poof!
(!?)
??°(°??????????°)°??
"..."
o(??^｀)oHmph!
While talking to Gerdo and the others, suddenly, while others were still digesting the horrifying information she just said in that indifferent tone, Anne suddenly threw a certain bear aside. The bucket containing clean river water seemed to be used to wash people's hands. Watching it sink little by little, and preparing to soak it in it for half a night?
"..."
"It's incredible..."
Goldo ignored the little girl's strange behavior, but was a little stunned at the things that the other party said in an understatement that made her feel extremely mysterious.
Judging from the respect and admiration for this little girl by the big man she knew and the Virgina Gray Mane patriarch who also turned into a fire monster, it is very likely that what the other party said is all true. of?
only……
She couldn't imagine that if the other party was not a demon, how could he do all that and transform an entire city into that terrifying but extremely powerful flame monster?
"Okay! No matter what, Dear Lord Anne!"
"Thank you very much for everything you have done for my brother Larov and my friend Zagenburg. If you hadn't saved them, I would have had to wait to collect their bodies..."
Although she usually treats Ralof very rudely and harshly when speaking, she cannot deny that she really loves her brother. Therefore, regarding the fact that the other party saved her brother again, She didn't even know how to thank her.
"Why!"
(???????????)
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, people have seen him almost beheaded several times. They are already used to it!"
(????????-)??
Yes, if you think about it seriously, Anne did indeed see these two unlucky guys almost have their heads chopped off several times. Otherwise, she would not have randomly pressed the "almost headless Lalo" on each other. That's the title of husband.
"How many times was there?"
"ah!"
"Okay, okay, it's indeed several times. It seems...so far, probably...only three times in total, right?"
Ralof was about to refute, but after being lightly kicked on the ankle by his companion, he quickly came to his senses and had to agree with the other party's statement.
Because, from Helgen to the Huangpu Tumulus, and then to the small woods outside Hemu Town yesterday, counting it like this, the other party is indeed right when he said that he almost lost his head several times! Because, if they hadn't been troubled by a certain giant dragon or saved twice by the little girl in front of them, the two of them would indeed have lost their heads long ago.
'! ! '
'Only three times? ! '
'Larov, I don't understand, what's going on with you recently? Do you know how worried I am about you? ! '
'oh! '
'Ahem! '
'No! Sister, I am a wounded person now, you can't shake me like this...'
'snort! '
'And you! Zagonburg! ! '
'I? What happened to me? '
'What’s wrong with you? '
'You keep saying that you are a Dragonborn, but are there any Dragonborns like you who have been captured and beheaded several times? ! '
'this……'
'talk? ! '
'Alduin, the Devourer of Worlds, was beheaded. What does it matter if I, the dragonborn, beheaded? '
Apparently, a certain last dragonborn, that Zagenburg, seemed completely unaware of his own poor performance, and still thought it was normal?
'you! ! '
'ah! pain! Let go! '
'you! '
'! ! '
'sister! I am a wounded person, and I was hit by an arrow in the knee. Please do not use violence against me...'
'? ? '
'Hello! Okay, stop making trouble, someone is coming over there...'
Seeing that his wife Goldo was about to continue arguing with Larov and Zagenburg about unnecessary trivial matters, Hood on the side quickly spoke up to stop them.
Because at this time, on the wooden bridge, Virgina Gray Mane, whose whole body was burning with flames, was walking towards this side step by step, making their place instantly brighter.
But...
After seeing the other party approaching and seeing the red burnt and smoking footprints left on the wooden trestle, Hood quickly made up his mind and prepared to take action tomorrow. He must be on the trestle again. Just lay a thick layer of wood and cover it with river sand! Otherwise, God knows when his trestle will be stepped on and burned down by those firemen?
"..."
"Report!"
"Her Majesty the Great Flame Queen, the results of the battle have just been counted: a total of thirteen soldiers of our army were killed, 512 of the enemy were killed, and thirty-six were captured!"
"The molten cores of the fallen soldiers have been collected and messengers will be sent back to Fireman City soon. They will be resurrected quickly within a few days!"
"besides!"
"The Fire Eagle Messenger just brought news that Offred War Mad used the Lava Dog Cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Ulfric Stormcloak, killing thousands of enemy troops and capturing three thousand at a very small cost. More than enough... Ulfric Stormcloak and his remaining invaders have now retreated to the other side of the White River, to the Amore Fortress far away from the border of our Fireman Territory!"
"Do you have any instructions for this?"
Ignoring the stunned mortals, Vagina Graymane immediately became angry and reported everything he knew with a blazing mouth.
He didn't care about the casualties of his family's children! Because the children of their family will soon be resurrected and become strong young men again in ten or twenty days at the latest!
He was convinced of this!
And if there is no molten core or the molten core is snatched by the enemy and destroyed or used for other purposes, then it goes without saying that the fallen flame clan soldiers or clansmen will need at least half a year or more to recover. It takes time to sleep in the Molten Core and re-condensate the Molten Core to gradually revive... And the more powerful the one, the longer it takes to sleep and recover!
However, as long as the molten core is still intact, and it is collected and brought back to Fire Man City, it will almost be resurrected in less than half a month at most.
"oops!"
????(?????????????)???????
"Big Beard! You can just take care of that kind of thing yourself, you don't have to report it to others all day long!!"
s(??｀ヘ????;)ゞ
Annie doesn't care about those little things!
After all, she has so many forces under her command, such as the Bear Shield Bureau, the Witch Empire, the Empire of Azeroth, the Kingdom of Fire, the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector, etc., so many things, so many worlds, If everyone used it to annoy her, wouldn't she be annoyed to death?
(??????~????)
So, no matter whether it is big or small, or important or unimportant, just don't come to her at all, she really doesn't want to take care of it! !
(…)
(；′??`)
Gulu gulu...
In the wooden barrel on the side, a few bubbles were still coming out of Tibbers from time to time...
"..."
"yes!"
"Your Majesty! We already know your will!"
Nodding, Virgina Graymane, who knew the nature of this little girl, bowed and prepared to leave.
He likes the other party very much, not only because the other party gave them the supreme gift, but also because the other party doesn't care about things and never easily interferes with any of their decisions! Therefore, he felt that it was time for him to mobilize more troops from Fireman City, and then try to see if he could capture Falkreath and drive the Imperial Army and the old guy Tullius to Cyrodiil. Or go west?
He knows that Offred Zhan Kuang is sharpening his sword now, preparing to attack Windhelm City and Ulfric Stormcloak, so he must not lose to the opponent no matter what! If possible, he must defeat the Imperial Army and liberate Falkreath in the shortest possible time, and then remove the hairless Sid Gale from the position of lord?
"etc!"
"please wait!"
"Your Excellency Virgina Greymane! You just said..."
"You Firerun City launched an attack on our Stormcloaks and defeated Lord Ulfric's army?!"
Although he was very surprised by the fighting power and resurrection of those flames, at this moment, Ralof was obviously more interested in other things, that is: their storm cloaks and Lord Ulfric situation!
"Eh?"
Σ(??Д??；≡；??▽??)???????
Anne suddenly turned her head and looked around.
Then, she quickly remembered... It seemed that a certain 'Nearly Headless Ralof' was indeed with that Ulfric Stormcloak? And back then, when they were in the place called Helgen, they were almost beheaded together, and then when they were escaping, they were still trying to trick her into going to Windhelm City?
"Well?!"
Virgina Graymane was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head.
"I remembered..."
"Ralof, you seem to be a general under that guy Ulfric Stormcloak? Ha! It seems that now I have to consider whether to arrest you two?"
After looking at the two guys who had been rescued from the Imperial Army with threatening eyes and eyes burning with fiery flames for a while, Vagina Graymane sneered and said: Some people are frightened:
"but……"
"Hmph!"
"Although you know our Majesty, I still want to make one point: you are now our prisoners! You two guys are not allowed to leave Riverwood Town until Ulfric Stormcloak is completely defeated!!"
Seeing that the other party was an acquaintance of their lord, and seeing that the other party and their lord were chatting happily, Virgina Graymane snorted coldly and announced this, which made everyone not too happy. Awkward decision.
Anyway, in his opinion, those two guys will definitely have to recover from their injuries in Hemu Town for a while, so his decision doesn't seem too unkind? And after the two of them recover from their injuries, I'm afraid Windhelm City will almost be declared destroyed, right?
So, after he finished speaking, he no longer cared about what the two people thought, turned around and strode away, and once again left burnt ones on the bridge across the river that Hood was so worried about. Burnt black footprints with sparks.
'...'
'...'
'...'
When that Virgina Gray Mane went further and further away, and when the place became dark again, Ralof and Zagenburg were present. Goldo and Hood fell into silence one after another, wondering what they were thinking.
"Hello!!"
=???????(??????????????)
"Uncle Hood! Watch out for those chickens. If you don't flip them over quickly, that side will be almost burnt!!"
??(??﹏??,)??
Annie doesn't care what these people think. Anyway, now she just cares about whether she has something delicious to eat at night! She didn't have dinner. If they were accidentally burnt, wouldn't she kick them all into the river and let them fish for her? !
"ah!"
'Hug, sorry! '
"call!"
"Okay, okay, it's not burnt. Don't worry, you can eat it after a while..."
After fiddling with it hurriedly for a while, Hood quickly relaxed and comforted a little girl with a smile.
but……
Thinking of what the flame man Virgina Graymane said just now, he couldn't help but look at his wife and brother-in-law Larov with some worried eyes. He knew about the relationship between the two siblings and the Stormcloaks, and was a little worried that Ralof would do something irrational.
(Gurgling...)
??°(°??????????°)??????
(Tibbers doesn’t care what other thoughts those people have, nor does he care whether they will be kicked into the river to fish by his bad little master. He just hopes. Now there are Who can be kind enough to fish it out of the barrel?)
????
Late at night……
When a little girl began to enjoy her meal and talk happily with the friends she knew who were not friends, and those guys who had their own evil intentions, at the same place, in a certain wooden house, a family was passing through the window. Looking towards this side with sinister but frightened eyes.
'! ! '
'Those flame demons, and that demon leader, those bastards sitting with the demons, the Eight Holy Spirits will definitely punish them! ! '
'Forget it, isn't it just a few chickens? They also lost money. Let's wait until it calms down some other time and ask someone to buy some from the farm in the north...'
'Shut up! What do you know? The merchant crushed one to death last time, and we claimed dozens of Septins, but now they have caught so many but only given one! ! '
'this……'
'Is it easy for us to raise chickens that are not afraid of people or wheels? Those demons will definitely pay the price, I curse them! ! '
'...'
'Wait, the great Eight Holy Spirits will not let them go! '
'But, doesn't our family believe in Talos, the ninth Holy Spirit? '
'What do you women know? ! '
'ah? '
'Can't you see? Those demons are so powerful and such a thankless task, wouldn't it be better to let the Eight Holy Spirits take care of them first instead of praying to Lord Talos to take action directly? '
'...'
'okay! Go back to sleep and forget about those demons for now! '
Soon, after looking around for a while, a certain ruthless Hemu Town resident cursed in vicious words for a long time, then he gently closed the wooden window with vicious eyes and pulled the door open. His wife went back to sleep.
