The ancient legend was revealed through Medernach's narration, and the truth came to light. "In the distant first era, the iron hooves of the invaders had not yet set foot on our beautiful and rich hometown, and we were independent. But we were not monolithic at that time. There were more than a dozen kings standing side by side, and no one had the reputation and power to be proud of the others. , under their years of fighting, the wars are everywhere and the wars are endless. " "And the troubled times will not last long, because a great hero will inevitably emerge to end it completely, accompanied by the singing of birds and the autumn. With the blooming of crimson mountain flowers, Fran the Red Eagle, the destined hero, was born in the land of Rich. " "With outstanding martial arts, meticulous strategies, and outstanding leadership skills, Fran the Red Eagle has been a hero since he was a child. Showing extraordinary talents in all aspects, as he thrives, the people unite around him with sincerity, and the originally balanced balance gradually tilts the direction, and all the clues indicate the same ending - he will become. The first great king to unite Reich. " "His people live and work in peace and contentment, his kingdom is prosperous, and his army is strong and ready. The hero embarks on his journey, and the banner of the red eagle is raised one after another. Floating on the top of the mountain in Rechi, the turbulent and chaotic night is about to usher in the dawn in his hands. " "The dawn is right in front of you, but an ominous haze appears outside the horizon, and the hateful invaders extend their greedy tentacles. Of course, the people of Rich will not succumb to foreign aggression. They firmly believe that the arrogance of the invaders will eventually be wiped out in the stormy waves set off by the heroes. Despite the stubborn resistance, the invaders were stuck in the mud again and again. They paid a huge price, but they failed to take away any of our confidence. The invaders, who were unwilling to fail, finally resorted to despicable means and bribed us with benefits. He captured the elders and nobles with evil intentions, instigating them to kidnap and exile Red Eagle, and seize his kingdom, land and people. " "This does not mean the end of the rebellion, but Reach. The true people will always be on his side. He gathered those who also insisted on their faith, longed for freedom, and were unwilling to kneel to the invaders, and established a new country in the mountains. " "They are at night. Raiding intruders and selling drugs, then retreating into the shadows during the day to avoid capture and plan their next move. However, this seems not enough: for every intruder they kill, more intruders will emerge from the warmth. The south or the harsh north came to fill the vacancy, which made it difficult for them to survive alone. " "Although Red Eagle Fran's resistance is still active in the land of Reach, they can only make waves. But gradually, confusion gradually enveloped their hearts, and the forces lurking in the darkness began to take advantage of it. On a dark and windy night, Red Eagle and his men were warming themselves by a steaming campfire. The shambling figure with a mask and a cloak came to them unknowingly. ""When his subordinates sneered at the strangers and threw stones to drive them away, Fran the Red Eagle noticed the odor emanating from the strangers. With great strength, he decided to listen to the stranger's intentions. The mask was completely lifted under the dim firelight. This was an ugly and terrifying crow hag! The Crow Hag made her purpose known: she could provide enough power to scare intruders, but at a high price. " " In order to regain his homeland and save his people from the invaders, Fran the Red Eagle is willing to pay any price. He gave his soul as a sacrifice to the crow hag in exchange for an unapologetic and ruthless will for revenge. His men did so willingly, and all of them had an unprecedented cold fire in their eyes. They were no longer themselves at all. With the help of the Crow Hag, the resistance grew stronger and the invaders' rule was crumbling. " "A few years later, the invaders were driven out of Reach by Fran the Red Eagle's resistance, but this peace did not last long. In just the past two weeks, an even larger army had once again assembled and returned to Reach with thundering force, surrounding Red Eagle's fortress layer by layer. Facing enemies dozens of times his own, Fran the Red Eagle went out alone and fought bloody battles. Although countless enemies fell under his burning sword, when night fell, the crowds of people who came after him finally defeated him. submerged. " "But the Forsworn did not die. In the name of Fran the Red Hawk, we will continue to fight. " "A hero appears great precisely because of the suffering he has experienced, and appears noble precisely because of the tragedy that befell him. History will never forget him. " " I comforted the tearful Maidenaki, and at the same time continued to ask him. " In other words, Fran the Red Eagle during the First Era was the first Forsworn to make a deal with the Crow Hag? ¡± Mednach wiped away her tears and replied with a choked voice, "Yes, at Red Eagle, the crow hags showed the Forsworn the powerful power they possess. From then on, the Forsworn have been able to make deals with the crow hags "Then, in the thousands of years since Red Eagle, except for the time you led more than twenty years ago, the Forsworn still have." Is there any precedent for regaining our homeland?" After a long silence, Mednach said a helpless word, "No." "Because of the crow ghost?" Recalling what we talked about before, I asked tentatively. asked. "Those crow hags don't sincerely want to help us regain our homeland. Compared with the benefits they extract from us, the power they give us is really insignificant!" Mednach slapped his palm heavily on the table, making a loud noise. It even alerted the guard outside the door to open the door and check. At my signal, the guard closed the door and left, and Mednaki continued to tell me about the grudges between the Forsworn and the Crow Hag. "More than twenty years ago, when Ulfric came to the city of Markarth, I sent people to ask for support from all the crow hags in Reach, but they all rejected me without exception and blocked the news that we were under siege. "I nodded in understanding, "If you successfully protect your homeland, you won't need them anymore?" "That's right, they don't want to see a Reach resurrected from the ashes! They need the Forsaken! They work hard, they need the Forsworn to provide them with flesh and blood souls for sacrifice, and they hope that Reach will remain in chaos forever, so that they can profit from it! They will always whet our appetites and use small favors to attract us to serve them; But he refused to truly give us the powerful power to give us a decisive bargaining chip in the fight against the Nords." Mednach sat back in his chair helplessly, speaking of the grim situation he faced now. "The fall of Markarth City again caused the people's high confidence and enthusiasm to completely fall to the bottom. The crow hag took the opportunity to bewitch and told the Forsworn that only the power given by the devil was their only hope to regain their homeland. In this tragic battle After the failure, the Forsworn devoted himself wholeheartedly to the crow hags and became their slaves. Before that, the Forsworn and the crow hags were just equal traders. " "I understand, and that's it. That is to say, what you are facing now is a civil war instigated by the Crow Hag? " "My return has rekindled the hope of the people of Reach. They have escaped from the control of the Crow Hag and returned to my command. This has angered the Crow Hag and disintegrated. "So they entangled the Forsworn people who were loyal to them and decided to completely eliminate you as an unstable factor from Reach?" "The ambush you suffered was just a matter of time." It¡¯s a prelude.¡± Seeing me frowning, Mednach gave me a wry smile, ¡°Now you can finally understand why I¡¯m worried?¡± ¡ª¡ªThe author¡¯s words. ¡ª¡ª I went out with friends, so I coded late today, sorry.
