Chapter 319 1.318 Cold Falling Dragon Shadow
Previously, the housekeeper had planned ahead of time.Develop the Baihe River where Ximu Town is located to the greatest extent.It laid the foundation for subsequent expansion.Building materials such as logs and stones are piled up like mountains in Ximu Port.As long as there is sufficient labor, it is not difficult to build 1000 new residential buildings.

In other words, since the lord sent back a whole limestone golden mountain across the plane, the Nord villages scattered around have collectively moved into Ximu to live in peace.According to the statistics of the housekeeper, there are no less than thousands of households.Later, there will be another 3000 households of gray people from the plane, plus 1000 Helgen households, and it is very likely to break through [-] households.

This is almost comparable to the scale of Snowman City, one of the Nine Leaders.

In other words, Wu Chen at this time can no longer be called the lord of the town.

Taking the Starry Night Goddess, Wu Chen and the last batch of refugees safely arrived at Ximu Port, which was built around the lighthouse, at the back of Baihe Jiangxinzhou.General Tullius, who arrived first, is leading soldiers to transfer refugees and maintain law and order.The cold fortress standing on the north bank made General Tullius regain his confidence.It also slightly restored the military spirit crushed by the dragon.It also allowed the wounded to be healed and survived by the dragon's breath and dragon's roar.

In short, the small act of condescension at the beginning allowed General Tullius to obtain the rare foothold in Ximu after losing the fortress of Helgen, the gateway to the sky.This is also the reason why he continued to show goodwill as a general of the empire before Wu Chen returned to the territory.Imagine that Helgen, the gateway to Skyrim, was destroyed, so that the Coal Camp, which towered on the banks of the White River, became the front line against the Stormcloaks.As Baron Ximu under the neutral Xueman leader, although Wu Chen has great autonomy, it is impossible to jump too far in domestic and foreign affairs, and he will definitely maintain considerable coordination and consistency with Lord Xueman.This is naturally great news for the Imperial Expeditionary Corps at this time.This also means that it is impossible for Stormcloak to easily enter Ximu and hunt down the remnants of the empire.

"My lord, because of the shortage of manpower, I want to bring back all the elite of Hanluo Fortress to defend Solitary City." General Tullius ordered someone to fetch a set of imperial general armor: "I, as the highest military officer of the Empire's province of Skyrim, , grant you the rank of Captain and the corresponding right to recruit troops (!). You can defend the fort by yourself and recruit warriors to protect the people."

calm down.This is a double-edged sword.

To accept is to be strapped into the imperial chariot.Not accepting is tantamount to being forced to join Stormcloaks.

"It's my honor, General." Wu Chen took over the imperial armor and a captain's seal ring without hesitation.Become a "Warlord" with military power.

"Okay, my lord." General Tullius didn't refer to him by his military rank, but still respectfully addressed him as "my lord", obviously understanding Wu Chen's intention: not to reject the goodwill expressed by any party, but to fully retain the independence of the territory.

This is also the bottom line for General Tullius to hand over the right to garrison Hanluo Fortress.Don't ask Wu Chen to be loyal to the empire, but you must not be loyal to the rebels.

Complete a brief investiture ceremony.Unburdened, General Tullius and Wu Chen looked side by side at Ximu City illuminated by the Baihe Lighthouse: "My lord, I look forward to meeting you in Solitary City."

"I'm also looking forward to it." Wu Chen clearly understood the deep meaning in General Tullius' words.

Solitude has been the capital of the province of Skyrim since the Third Reich. Before it was killed by Ulfric Stormcloak in 4E 201, High King Torygg (High King Torygg) has been the leader of the nine realms where Solitude is located. Lord of Fingal and High King of Skyrim.It is said that Ulfric Stormcloak challenged Toryg for the power of the High King, knocked him down with his vomit, and then ended his life with a sword.Witnesses who were present claimed that Ulfric "roared Toig into pieces".However, many lords of the Empire and the provinces of Skyrim believed that the killing of Troig was not an honorable showdown, but regicide.

Because objectively speaking, Troig is still young and lacks military training, while Ulfric has been battle-hardened and possesses amazing strength.Beyond that, Ulfric could have opted for diplomacy, but opted for dueling as his first resort.According to the testimony of Troig's court archmage Sybille Stentor, Troig entertained Ulfric with great hospitality, and may have supported Ulfric if Ulfric chose to persuade .And High King Toig was totally unprepared for this sudden glorious duel.

After Toig's death, his widow "Elisif the Fair" succeeded him as the lord of Solitude, and when the empire reunified Skyrim, he strived to be the High Queen of the province of Skyrim (High Queen) title.

In other words, while Elisif the Just had succeeded High King Thoig as Lord of Haafingar, she had not become High Queen of the province of Skyrim.

That is to say, according to the ancient rules of the Nords, the nine lords of the Skyrim Province and the lords of various places, including Wu Chen, are eligible to become the supreme (female) queen of the Skyrim Province.

"Lord Ximu, come to Dugu City to participate in the battle for the supreme throne" is the true intention of General Tullius' words.

Three days later, General Tullius took the female captain Claudia, the priestess Christian, and all the elite guards of Hanluo Fortress, and took the Starry Night Goddess down the White River to Windhelm City, which was still under the control of the empire.As the lord of the Eastern Realm, Ulfric Stormcloak, who was driven out of Windhelm City, ran around in the sky and was finally captured at the Blackwater Crossroads, escorted to Helgen Fortress and almost executed on the spot, will definitely take the opportunity to recover own territory.Restoring the rights of the nine lords first is the legal cornerstone of challenging the supremacy of the sky.

This is why General Tullius is eager to get out.Before the Stormcloak rebels took back Windhelm City, they gathered the elite imperial troops stationed in various important places along the way and fled to Solitude together.

Being able to stay for three days to treat the wounded is already the bottom line of the famous general of the empire.

From the perspective of the Nords, it seems that the powerful Ulfric Stormcloak is far more suitable for the throne of King of Skyrim than the "cowardly" High King Toig.

However, for a lord with autonomy, there is more room for power under the "weak rule" of the young and slightly immature High King Toig.

In the end, it rises to the perspective of the big players of the sanctuary, and the supreme kingship is not the main line of the plot at all.To end the millennium dragon break, the eternal focus is to capture the maximum harvest profit.

"Master, who do you plan to send to guard the Hanluo Fortress?" The housekeeper gently snuggled up to the lord's bathroom filled with mist.

"Alia." Wu Chen smiled at the sleeping guardian angel lying on the bench beside the bath.

"Why not Judith?" The former housekeeper of Pridespear Manor, Nord warrior lady Judith should be the best candidate in the housekeeper's mind.

For Wu Chen, they are all his female companions connected to the network, so in terms of loyalty, the two are soul-bound and will never betray: "Judice's ability is far more than military. So from the perspective of civil affairs From a perspective, she is in the best position to be in charge of Fort Secuda, which will house 439 Helgen refugee families."

"The master is right." The housekeeper smiled happily.

At this moment, Wu Chen suddenly became vigilant: "Dragon attack!"

Before the words fell, there was a loud noise above his head.The behemoth collided head-on with the shield of the cold tower.

The divine light of the protective cover surged.

Accompanied by gushing ice and fire, a huge black shadow tumbled and fell from the clouds.It streaked across the night sky like a shooting star and fell into the deep mountains behind the Sekuda Frame.

The evil dragon who wanted to sneak attack at night would never have imagined that the Hanluo mountain peak and the creek wood collar at the foot of the mountain were firmly protected by the huge cold tower ring.

It wasn't until the next day that the residents of Ximu, who were belatedly aware of the attack, hit the light curtain of the cold tower and fell into the frame of Sekuda.Looking up at the Ring Mage Academy towering over the clouds, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.Especially the Helgen refugees, who were brutally poisoned by the Devourer of Worlds, have an even more urgent belief in settling in Ximuling.

Almost at the same time, a long ship from Xueman City also docked at Ximu Port.

"Master, the messenger of Xueman has brought the news of the dragon attack and the message from the lord "The Strong" Balgrove." The Iron Sister Rock Flower Tish, who was guarding the vestibule, entered the long table restaurant to send a message.

"The envoy please wait in the lobby." Wu Chen and his female companion hadn't finished their breakfast yet.

"As ordered."
