Chapter 422 1.421 Descendants of Kuda Female Sword Saint Mikaela Reki

When talking about Hammerfell, one cannot fail to mention the world war initiated by the Thalmor secessionist regime on Summerset Isle.

In other words, only 3 years have passed since Titus Meade II ascended the throne. On the 4th of Frostfall in 171E 30, Ambassador Thalmer came to Cyrodiil with a "gift" dedicated to the emperor and an ultimatum. imperial capital.And the rich "gift" from Summerset Island even filled a well-wrapped carriage.

The ultimatum was a long list, which included: paying tribute to Thalmer, disbanding the Blade Council, making it illegal to worship Talos, the Ninth Holy Spirit, and ceding a large part of Hammerfell's territory to Thalmor.Of course, Titus Meade II rejected this ultimatum that was extremely offensive and contemptuous of imperial power.Ambassador Thalmer showed his true colors on the spot. He overturned the carriage full of gifts, and hundreds of heads rolled from the carriage to the floor.The owners of these heads are spies of the Blade Society lurking in Summerset Isle and Valen Forest.

After that, a world war that lasted for five years, the Great War, broke out.

Soon, the Third Ancestor Shenzhou army, which had been prepared for a long time, invaded the two major provinces of Hammerfell and Cyrodiil at the same time.The Thalmor general Lord Naarifin invaded Cyrodiil from the south with a mighty force.Immediately after landing, the army headed towards Cyrodiil from the camp hidden in the northern part of the province of Elsweil, and raided the defense forces of the empire stationed on the border.

On the other hand, another force led by Lady Arannelya crossed Cyrodiil from the west and entered Hammerfell via Anwel and Kovacs.At the same time, another Shenzhou team landed on the south shore of Hammerfell near Summerset Island.Distract the Redguards and divert their reinforcements.Due to internal strife and factional struggles, Hammerfell had no time to organize an effective resistance.So similar to the situation in Cyrodiil, the south bank of Hammerfall, which was scattered in sand, also quickly fell.The Imperial Legion, much larger than the Divine Land Legion, was forced to retreat through the Akriel Desert in central Hammerfell in what became known as the "March of Thirst".

It now appears that the purpose of the third ancestor Shenzhou's initial attack on Cyrodiil was to distract the empire's attention when it invaded Hammerfell, and did not want to capture the imperial capital in one fell swoop.According to the original plan of the third ancestor, Shenzhou, it is a safe war strategy to first annex Hammerfell, fight steadily, and then capture the imperial capital step by step.As a result, the two armies won consecutive battles, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.The Human Empire Legion suffered a crushing defeat, and the defeat was beyond everyone's expectations.A human dynasty without dragon blood has no cohesion at all.So the third ancestor, Shenzhou, quickly changed his strategy.Occupying the imperial capital directly and taking down the empire in one fell swoop became the established goal in the next two years.

In 4E 172, the host of the Elves went further into Cyrodiil.Along the way, the important cities of the empire fell one after another.At the end of the year, Grand Duke Narefin even surrounded the imperial capital.In Hammerfell, Thalmor was content to occupy the entire southern coastline and began to consolidate control of the region.And this area is exactly the land they asked to cede in the ultimatum to Titus Mead II at the beginning.Among the southern cities of Hammerfell, only Hegathe has not yet fallen into the hands of the ancestor Shenzhou.Meanwhile, the remnants of the Imperial forces that survived the March of Thirst regrouped across the desert north of Hammerfell to join reinforcements arriving from High Rock.

At the beginning of 4E173, the ancestors of Hammerfell sent reinforcements from Sentinel to break through the siege successfully. The "Great Victory of Hegath" severely damaged the army of the third ancestor Shenzhou, making them unable to go north.The victory of Hegath also prompted an ice-breaking reconciliation between the two factions of the Red Guard, the "Forebears" and the "Crowns".Then the powerful combat power of the Red Guards began to unleash.

At this time, Ms. Alanilia's main force also successfully crossed the Akriel Desert.Siege of Skaven.In the end, the empire was defeated and retreated, and the Third Divine Continent captured another important town of Hammerfell.But after this bloody battle, the Shenzhou army was at the end of its strength and could only rest on the spot, unable to move forward.

It is obvious that one of the two heavy punches swung by the third ancestor Shenzhou at the human empire has been exhausted.

In 4E 174, Commander Thalmor ordered all elves to participate in the siege of Cyrodiil's capital, trying to win the decisive battle directly. In the spring of 4E 174, the ordered reinforcements of the Summerset Isle elves gathered in the south of Cyrodiil, and on the 12th of the Second Seed, they launched a large-scale raid on the imperial capital...

In short, after a series of bloody battles, after paying the high price of the entire Eighth Legion and the massacre and looting of the imperial capital by the Shenzhou army, the empire finally made a big move in the "Battle of the Red Ring" on the 4th of Rains in 175E 30. Counterattack, and defeated the third Shenzhou siege army after 15 days of bloody battle.The remnants of the elves tried to retreat from the southern part of the imperial capital, but were overtaken and completely defeated by the Nord army known as the "Unbreakable Shieldwall" led by the Nord war lord Jonna.

In the second half of 4E 175, the Empire and Thalmer signed the "Platinum Agreement", marking the end of the great war.

Ironically, however, this "Platinum Agreement" is almost exactly the same as the ultimatum rejected by Tus Mead II five years ago.

Predictably, the Redguards in Hammerfell were outraged and refused to abide by the agreement.They refused to even acknowledge the fact that the Empire had been defeated, and could not tolerate ceding so much of Hammerfell's territory to the third ancestor Shenzhou, the losers of the war.However, in order to protect the hard-won peace treaty, Titus Meade II announced the severance of relations with Hammerfell. Since then, Hammerfell is no longer a province of the Empire, but has become a de facto independent country.

The Redguards regarded Titus Mede II's actions as a great betrayal of the founding covenant of the Tamriel Empire.This also achieved Thalmor's long-standing goal - to intensify the contradiction between Hammerfell and the Empire, and make the two parties completely break.

In the end, the heroic Red Guards dragged the third ancestor Shenzhou into another quagmire of war. The war between the two sides lasted for another 5 years (4E175 - 4E180), resulting in the complete destruction of the southern part of Hammerfell and reduced to ruins.However, the Red Guards without the sword singers defeated the third ancestor Shenzhou by themselves.Known in history as "Hammerfell's Resistance".

Of course the Red Guards must also admit it.The Nords, Bretons, and Imperials in the Imperial Corps fought bloody battles in the Battle of the Red Ring, severely injuring the main force of the ancestors of China, and it was also an important reason for the final victory of the Hammerfall counterattack.

In the end, the third ancestor Shenzhou was forced to sign the "Second Treaty of Stros M'kai" with the Red Guards in 4E 180, completely withdrawing from Hammerfell.

So far, although the province of Hammerfell is still in a state of division, the Redguards have not proclaimed themselves emperor (Long live the Dragon Blood Emperor!).

I was thinking of making a compromise and trying my best.After a generation of recuperation, Emperor Titus Meade II, who was waiting to restore national strength and then regain Hammerfell, Summerset Isle, and Valen Forest to rule Tamriel, received a blow to his head.In 4E 201, a civil war broke out in the precarious empire.

This is the current situation in the entire continent of Tamriel.

Sitting on 300 miles of brooks, the lord who owns dragons and laws, also waited for the mysterious red guard woman.

"Good day, Lord Baron." Sadia Iman raised his hands, full of aristocratic demeanor.Wu Chen was convinced at the first sight that she was not a simple maid.

"Good day, ma'am." Wu Chen greeted with a smile, "What do you want?"

"Aren't you looking for me, my lord?" Sadia Iman showed a sly smile.This seemingly bold "offend" is actually a common communication technique among nobles with a long family history.

"Oh?" So Wu Chen, whose family didn't last that long, was also taken aback: "I don't think we've ever met before."

"Yes, my lord. But you must have heard of my ancestors." Sadia Iman was proud.

"Who is your ancestor?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

"Mikaela Reki." Sadia Iman gently spit out the name of the ancestor.

"So that's how it is." Wu Chen was in awe.

It turns out that Saadia or Iman is the descendant of the Yokuda female swordswoman Mikaela Reki mentioned by the Khajiit businessman Rezad.
