Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

The first morning training was not too hard for me. Rigel felt sorry for me not sleeping, so he didn't train too hard. Bauer also enjoyed it. However, Joey and Isley were punished to run around the school field because they failed the training. Because I announced yesterday that the six of us were of the same blood, we were all punished together. The afternoon training was still in the woods outside the town. We used trees as imaginary enemies to practice formation, advancement and attack. With the friendship of running together in the morning, the six of us were very serious in training, and the formation was initially formed. Until the end of the work, Bauer and Baran were still discussing how to shoot under the protection of the tower shield. In the next few days, the training was carried out in an orderly manner. Because the six of us were in a group, the others did not dare to continue to bully others blatantly. Joey and Isley, the two players who were originally dragging their feet, made obvious progress and dared to put forward their own suggestions at the summary meeting in the evening.

Lund returned empty-handed on the third day after setting out. Most residents of Ximu Town have already determined that the Imperial Army has destroyed the main force of Falkreath. The stubborn Helgen Town will soon be attacked by the Royal Army. It is very unwise to have any relationship with us at this time. Goldo is the only one who looks down on the Imperial Army. She said she could sell us wood, but she refused to accept partial payment in advance and insisted on full payment in cash. Lund could not buy anything with the small bag of gold coins he brought.

Coincidentally, Eric and Angie, who left for the Rift Valley five days earlier than Lund, returned to Helgen Town on the same day as Lund. Eric was wearing iron armor, with a two-handed sword slung across his back, and his hair scattered on his broad shoulders. Angie was wearing a hunting suit, with a longbow on her back, and her golden hair tied behind her head. The pair of lovers were talking and laughing, walking side by side with their backs to the warm winter sun. The scene was really dwarfing the young handsome men and female stars in my previous life. Behind the two of them was a tiger caravan. The female cat leading the caravan called herself Akali. From the sound of her voice, she seemed to be middle-aged, but she still looked soft and cute. This was the second time I saw a tiger man. The last time was also in Helgen Town, but that time I was waiting to lose my head, and my mood was very different from this time.

Eric's trip was fruitful. He reached deals with farms, fishermen and lumberyards in Ivarstead. The news of the Imperial Army's attack on Falkreath had not yet reached Riftland, so the prices of the deals reached were relatively fair. The owner of the lumberyard, "Broad Shoulders" Tamba, even offered a preferential price on the condition of helping to hunt nearby bears. This task was just what they wanted. Angie and Eric cleaned up the Pine Peak Cave at the foot of the Throat of the World that day, captured a nest of five bears of different sizes, and promised to kill the beasts in the Honey Bay Jungle on the way back. In addition, they encountered a caravan led by Akali. This group of tiger people wandered around several cities in the eastern part of Skyrim to do business. This time they were supposed to enter Whiterun from Riftland, but were blocked by the bandits of Waltham Tower. Fortunately, the caravan's guard Hayou was very skilled and saved most of the goods, but he himself was seriously injured and the moon amulet, a family heirloom, was also taken away. In this way, Eric also learned about the news of Waltham Tower. He only needed to eliminate this group of thieves to become a formal member of the Companions. However, even a nimble master like Hayou could not escape unscathed, so he did not dare to act rashly, especially unwilling to take risks with Angie. The two suggested that Akari's caravan follow them around Helgen Town and then enter the Whiterun Territory from the direction of Riverwood Town. This route is mostly mountainous and not easy to walk, but it is much more reliable than going around the East Territory.

Since I returned to my hometown to visit my relatives at the beginning of the month of the sunset, when the three of us from Loristed gathered again more than a month later, we were already facing a powerful enemy and our lives were in danger. Life in the Sky Province was really tense and exciting. That night, I made a few side dishes and invited the two childhood friends to drink together and talk with them about future plans. Among the three of us, Eric is the oldest. He will be 25 years old in the middle of the year next year, which is June; Lund is less than a year younger than him. He will be 24 years old in the month of the sunrise next year, which is February; Locke was born in the month of the sun, and he had just passed his 21st birthday when he was shot to death. Now that I have taken over Rockrell's body, I have become a knight in Falkreath, the lowest-ranking noble; Eric has already stepped into the Companions, and with his ability to drink and fight, it is only a matter of time for him to stand out; only Rund has never had his own career, and he already feels ashamed of himself in front of the two of us. When I asked him about it, he stammered and was unable to speak.

"Lund, listen to me. Even though Eric and I seem to be doing pretty well now, we are actually doing a bloody business. If we are not careful, we will end up with our heads and bodies cut off. We three brothers can't all risk our lives. One of us has to stay behind so that there is someone to collect our bodies."

This Lund seems to be quite mediocre at present. If he is allowed to join the army, it may harm him. I hope he can stay in a safe place to manage our industry, but I don't know if he can do it. If he can support the family in the future, we can go out and explore. Eric also agreed with me. He has been out for more than a month and knows a little about the dangers of the world. The most well-behaved girl in the comrades is much more fierce than Lund. Lia talks about hunting bears all the time, but his brothers can't even deal with a few snow mice. In the end, Lund accepted our suggestion. He first went to his father and the refugees in the town to learn the daily operation of the mine, and then followed Varga to learn business. After driving away the Imperial Legion, he tried to take over the mine business on the Blood Throne. I don't want him to have too much contact with Eddie. It is still unknown whether Lund can be used. Even if he can be used, it is better to let these two people, one in the open and the other in the dark, so as not to implicate each other in trouble.

The three of them encouraged each other and promised not to forget each other when they become rich. If it weren't for the Nords' lack of such a rule, I would have wanted to make them sworn brothers. Eric heard that I was practicing with a spear and expressed his interest, so we agreed to meet at the training ground the next day. For Eric, who had just put down his hoe for a month, the spear had similar power generation methods to the rakes, pitchforks and other farm tools he used before, and was more handy than a two-handed sword. The same two-meter-long stick was used as an arm in his hand. Not only could it be used to pick, stab, smash, and sweep, but it could also be used to deflect the opponent's weapon with the gun body. The tip of the gun was really like a smart venomous snake, piercing in at tricky angles. This kid stole the limelight for the whole morning. Whoever he pointed his gun at was scared. Even Angie and Floki left their students and ran to watch the fun. It was really annoying to compare with others. However, he also pointed out that pine wood is slightly inadequate for use as a gun barrel, and suggested that we could carefully select the wood sent from the Rift Valley Territory. It is said that there is a kind of birch wood that is as hard as gold and stone, and difficult to cut with a knife or an axe. I wonder if we can find a treasure here.

This time, with the guidance of a famous teacher, Ball and I made rapid progress. Seeing that the whole team was full of confidence, I decided to arrange a real-life confrontation as a midterm exam after a week of training.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the six of us stood in two rows according to the formation. Because it was a competition, both sides only used wooden weapons to point at each other. Bows and arrows were naturally not allowed, so the whole team carried a few short sticks as javelins. On the opposite side were six people led by Eric, three of whom held shields, two held two-handed wooden swords, and Eric held a long spear. There was a master on the opposite side, and we had no advantage in the length of weapons. I could hear the nervous breathing of my teammates, and Isley twisted uneasily beside me.

"Keep the formation and move forward. Prepare the javelins in the back row. Target Eric."

I whispered to them, and the six of us held our breath and pressed forward steadily. This was a well-planned tactic, and everyone was already familiar with it. The javelin throwing distance was limited, so I had to wait until the opponent was about 30 meters away before I started attacking. Eric was the strongest of the six, and he also knew us best, so I had to restrict his movements first.

"put!"

Three javelins flew past lightly. The three of us mainly practiced archery, and our throwing skills were very poor. Isley's javelin fell ten meters away from the opponent with a bang, causing a burst of laughter. The other two were also easily blocked by the opponent's shieldman. Eric called on his teammates to speed up and approach quickly.

"Put it back!"

Three more javelins were fired. The shield bearer froze in his tracks while blocking. The six opponents were almost standing in a row.

"All javelins scatter!"

The number of javelins doubled, and the three people in the front row had practiced throwing javelins, especially Barron's javelin, which flew out from behind the tower shield, making it extremely concealed. The other side was in a state of panic, and the shield bearers could not protect others if they only cared about themselves, and it was not convenient to use long weapons in the queue, so the six people had to scatter in a panic, and this was exactly the effect we wanted.

"Everyone, charge!"

Barron roared, raised his tower shield and rushed forward. Joey and Claire quickly followed. The three of them suppressed each other with their shields. Bauer and I stabbed through the gaps in the shields and quickly knocked down two people. The remaining four were scattered. Eric saw the opportunity very quickly and immediately called another opponent to come up from both sides, preparing to attack the weaker-protected Isley with a small number of people surrounding the large number.

"Ball goes left, Joey goes right, entangle them, and the others continue to attack!"

However, with our current level, how could we hold Eric back? While we defeated the two opponents in front, Eric shot Ball three times in four rounds, and teamed up with the only remaining teammate to knock down Joey. Unfortunately, facing the four people hiding behind the two shields, the two had limited offensive means. They fought and retreated, and were eventually forced into a corner. Eric's counterattack was still very tenacious, and we had difficulty getting close to him for a while. However, as Isley took the cost of being shot and eliminated his teammates with a sweep, we finally rushed forward and subdued him.

Six to three! We won!
