Passing through the simple city wall that was under renovation, I came to the hillside outside the city wall. The Forsworn were digging a hole in full swing, firmly inserting spiked wooden stakes into the soil at an angle facing outwards, so that they would come in handy in future defenses. The fortifications built by the Forsworn appear to be very dense, and they even vaguely plan to completely block the only road into the base when they are completed. "Are you going to hide and defend?" I casually asked the guide beside me. ¡°That¡¯s the initial plan,¡± Uratsen confirmed my guess and explained to me in detail why they chose to do this. ¡°We know almost nothing about the specific situation of the enemy. Before we are sure of victory, we prefer to defend firmly - we only have such a large territory and cannot afford to lose. "Uratzen's words are true. Who knows what kind of black technology the crow ghost has in her hands? Instead of recklessly hitting the opponent's hidden muzzle, it is better to calm down and observe what the enemy's trump card is. "Does the enemy have heavy weapons?" Thinking that magic might be considered a kind of weapon, I added an additional sentence, "I mean catapults or ballistae for siege." "Of course not, unless they We had looted the armory in Markas City once before," Urazen smiled contemptuously, "We can't even make these large-scale war tools ourselves." Seeing me nodding slightly with a confident expression, Urazen said. He continued, "Although the opponent does not have siege equipment, on the other hand, the Crow Hag will provide them with as much magical assistance as possible." "You mean that the Crow Hag will also go to the battlefield in person?" "Hmm Unlikely, those cunning crow hags will usually operate behind the scenes, unless unexpected changes occur on the front battlefield. In theory, they will pray for power from the devil and force it into the Forsworn. In this way, a destruction mage can be produced in a short period of time that can play an effective role on the battlefield. "So looking at the overall situation, what impact will these mages have on the battle situation? They are the main ones that the enemy relies on." Offensive means? How disadvantageous is our side in magic confrontation? " "The magic power we have is relatively limited. After all, only a few people have the qualifications to become magicians, and the cost of training a mage is too huge. ." Seeing that my brows that were relaxed not long ago were now completely knit together, Uratsen quickly gave me a more optimistic supplement, "But the enemy will not have much advantage, although it can be achieved quickly through sacrifice. , But like us, they also face similar problems. " I nodded thoughtfully and turned my attention to the wilderness below the hillside, where a fierce battle would begin soon. Different from the peace in the base area, the outside world has completely returned to the severe cold and cruelty that is the hallmark of Skyrim Province. The strong wind howls mercilessly on the earth and unleashes its anger on the few pitiful trees that have not been cut down. On the small trees, they were destroyed and staggered. The view from a high position is wide, and all the visible trees have been cut down. Not only does the enemy have no bunkers to cover, but they also have to charge on a slope full of spiked wooden stakes. It is really wonderful to arrange the battlefield here. Couldn't be more appropriate. I looked into the distance and had a panoramic view of the entire battlefield. However, just as I was leading the way, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into my sight. Could it be that they were a group of Forsworn who migrated to the Medernaki? No, after more careful observation, I found that the opponent's team was purely composed of fully armed warriors, without any baggage, and seemed to have other identities and purposes. The leading man did not wear an antler leather hat to identify himself like the dozen Forsworn warriors behind him. Instead, he wore a black cloak with a hood and a hood, making it difficult to see his specific appearance. As this team gradually approached our fortifications, the sentry standing on the top of the wooden tower quickly noticed their presence and reported the information to us under the sentry tower. "What are they here for?" I asked Uradzen, but the solemn-faced Uradzen did not answer me immediately. Instead, he summoned the patrolling soldiers and deployed three times the number of troops who came to line up in front of him. "I don't know, but we can ask them. Now we have the confidence and confidence to ask the other party's intention." "Well, I will also go and have a look." The other party discovered our team. They raised their weapons, pointed at us unkindly, and shouted threats at us. Judging from their specific words, they are not threatening us to start a fight now, but warning us.Run away quickly, otherwise terrible misfortune will befall us in a few days. Thinking of the predicament that Maidenach was facing, I immediately understood the purpose of the other party's visit¡ª¡ªit was in the afternoon. Our side had a large number of people and a home field advantage, so naturally we would not take their threats seriously. The Forsworn people behind us all opened their mouths and cursed back with the same content. We cursed and walked away, and soon we officially met face to face. The situation was tense and the conflict was about to break out. However, under the respective restraints of the leaders, both sides only cursed verbally and had no real intention to take action. I raised my hand to silence the Forsaken behind me, and the familiar man in black across from me did the same. Negotiations are about to begin. The leading man in black took off her hood and scarf, revealing her true face. "AiIola?" How could it be her? How come the followers of Lady Decay got mixed up with the Forsworn? Iola glanced at the group of Forsworn people behind me with cold eyes, and then glared at me who was dumbfounded. After a while, she released her teeth from biting her lips and spoke to me. "I really didn't expect to see you here. This is good, it saves me from searching for you everywhere." Judging from the way she gritted her teeth, I guess what happened in the Temple of the Decaying Lady has made her have a deep affection for me. Her hatred, if it weren't for the fact that the person behind me was three times as strong as hers, she would have been eager to take action. I smiled awkwardly and said my greetings to her helplessly, "Long time no see, how are you lately?" Iola's resentful eyes made me feel numb, and she was so angry that she wanted to eat me alive on the spot. "Thanks to you, Namira has completely cut off all contact with me now, and I am no longer owned by her!" "Well, I'm sorry about this. But" I heard the hatred in Iola I knew that I was "defeated" and stopped responding to his meaning. Instead, I looked at him and said, "It seems that you have surrendered to the crow hag now?" "Yes, I have made a big mistake. Except for them, Who else is willing to take me in?" Aiola sneered, crumpled a letter into a ball - as if rubbing me - and threw it at my feet, "I hope you can protect yourself next. I'll die early in the chaos. I'm still waiting to settle the account with you!" After submitting the letter of challenge in a rude way, Aiola left with her men. , a group of us stood there dumbly. The Forsworn were probably worried about the coming war, but I was worried about how to deal with the relationship with Eola - I was completely unprepared to face her. Flotra, the only one who was not greatly affected, picked up the paper ball from the ground and handed it to me. Seeing that I was still in a daze, he immediately handed the paper ball into Uratzen's hand. "They have officially declared war on us!" After reading hastily, Uratzen looked anxious and shook me out of my daze. "Everything happened so fast! Without further ado, we must tell His Majesty the King the news immediately. !¡± I nodded silently, turned around and followed the team, while Floterra curiously asked me about Iola. "Who is that big sister? You seem to have done something sorry for her?" (To be continued.)
