Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Chapter 18: Return to Falkreath

The situation in front of him was shocking. Although Rigel and Angie were not the top fighters in the sky, they were definitely not ordinary. The two of them joined forces and could only tie with Weigohar. Rigel's movements were not as flexible as at the beginning. The heavy armor on his body was a huge drain on his physical strength. Angie gave up attacking the vital parts and instead shot at the waist and abdomen. This position was difficult to avoid, and once successful, it could effectively delay the opponent's movements. Weigohar's situation was not good either. Angie shot him with four arrows. His left hand could no longer be lifted, and his steps were a little staggering.

"You two little kids are great. Hehehehe, when I kill you, I will make you serve me forever! Fuck!"

Wighar was still talking, but saw Rigel pull off his helmet. The little saber-toothed tiger's appearance scared even a person who had died once. Rigel's helmet flew out of his hand and hit Wighar in the face. Angie also took the opportunity to shoot an arrow, blocking the vampire's retreat.

This time I have it!

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Vigorhar simply took the blow with his old face, and at the same time, he leaned forward and thrust out with his long sword. Rigel threw away the war hammer, punched the sword with his left fist, and clawed at the opponent's throat with his right hand. The friction between the long sword and the steel handguard made a sharp sound that made people's teeth ache, and a long cut was cut on Rigel's face. Vigorhar was held down and couldn't move. Angie shot an arrow into his open mouth, nailing him to the wall. Rigel took the long sword with his backhand and pierced his heart with a sword!

As Wighar died, Wolfe's body froze and he collapsed. The two people who had been holding him tried to help him up, but it was in vain. Wolfe's body turned into a pile of ashes!

"Wolf!" Rigel yelled, turned around and tried to run over, but her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. She used her hands and feet to crawl to the pile of ashes.

"What's going on? What's going on!" She dug and scratched in the ashes, as if she wanted to dig her good brother out, but of course it was all in vain.

"He's dead." Angie sighed softly, "He was a man, a man with a strong spirit who could resist the charm of a vampire. They killed him and resurrected his corpse."

Rigel glared at Angie. I was a little worried that she would have a fit, so I was about to go forward to comfort her, but this rough female figure suddenly burst into tears.

The tears of heroes are the most touching.

In the battle of Blood Throne, we paid a painful price of 16 deaths, 2 serious injuries, and 1 minor injury, and the team directly lost 30%. I tried my best to persuade Rigel not to destroy the corpse of Vigohar. This corpse is our amulet. Before we find out the pulse of the old fox Danger, even if we can't save our lives, we can ruin his reputation. We camped in the castle, firstly to collect the bodies of the dead brothers, and secondly to let the injured rest for a while. This battle exposed many problems. First, the team lacks a good long-range attacker. If there is no external aid like Angie, I am afraid that even a bitter victory will not be achieved. Secondly, without a recovery mage, the team's endurance is very poor. Rigel used to ambush unprepared caravans, but now he is facing a tough opponent head-on and is immediately beaten back to his original form. Wulf brought all the good players, and we can say that we have lost all our elites. Now, including the cooks, there are less than 40 people. Do we still have the capital to bargain with Danger?

Angie left after Rigel recovered. The little saber-tooth tiger had a good impression of this sharpshooter, and the two even reached a deal. Angie would trade fur for wine and vegetables. The first batch of goods will be traded in five days, just in time for me to use as a performance prop.

Back at the Pinewood Watchtower, Rigel called me and Cindy to a meeting, and the three of us first shared the intelligence we had. The people Rigel brought to the Bloody Throne were all those who had been restless before, and now two of them were seriously injured and have calmed down. The Whiterun guards in Riverwood did not cross the border, and Falkreath was still conducting routine patrols. Both sides were worried about accidental discharges, and instead they withdrew. The most explosive news was naturally from my side. Although Danger did not make any promises, he was obviously very interested in our plan, and the old fox had something behind his words, so he might have his own arrangements.

Now it is us who are worried. Previously, Rigel and I were very confident in the fighting power of the team. We naively believed that it would not be difficult to take down Falkreath City with the help of the inside and the outside. As a result, a fierce battle woke us up! Moreover, although the internal strife was temporarily suppressed, it was difficult to guarantee that these people would not fail or even turn against each other at the critical moment. Can we really succeed with such a team with a loose morale and obvious shortcomings? Moreover, if Danger also has arrangements, then what role do we play in his plan? Will we be cannon fodder? Or even a bait, a discarded pawn? We are like people groping forward in the fog, not knowing whether the next step will be a bright future or a bottomless abyss, but we still have to go on.

Rigel and Cindy both thought that I should continue to contact Danger. We have completed the mission, and the bounty of 500 Septim is obviously not enough. Rigel originally used the Blood Throne as a retreat, but since Danger also knew this location, it is not a hidden and safe place. The best choice is naturally to support a new lord, or to settle for the second best, clean up the identity of the bandit and join the regular army of Falkreath. As for letting Rigel marry Danger and then seek the position of lord, the three of them did not bring up this topic again. After all, Rigel's appearance can scare even vampires. If we can't suppress the other party in terms of strength, Danger will definitely not surrender.

I rested myself in the pinewood watchtower for a few days, and then I walked into the Dead Man's Wine Inn again with a saber-tooth tiger skin and four wolf skins. Facing Nari's warm hospitality, although I felt pained, I still swollen my face and pretended to be rich. I took out five gold coins again. Some holes cannot be opened, and if they are opened, they will be bottomless pits! The proprietress was still smiling, and even teased me whether I should be her son-in-law, which made Nari blush and run away.

Then she handed me a letter.
