Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

The werewolf incident has deviated from the plot in the game, but the cursed ring and the white deer are still there. Things are definitely not what Cassidy guessed. We still have to find the answer in Falkreath. As for the Silver Hand, they are most likely to ambush the members of the Companions in Dustman Cairn. This is a very important task. Farkas will reveal the identity of the circle members to the little beast cub. I have to let Eric solve the robbers in Waltham Tower as soon as possible. Don't miss this opportunity to get to the core secrets.

During this period, we continued to improve the formation, and in response to the problems pointed out by Pierce, we changed the positions of the players. When attacking, the tower shield man is in front, two spearmen are behind him, two axe shield warriors protect the sides, and the archers are behind, shaped like a sword blade, which is the front formation. When defending, three shield men are in front, two spearmen are behind, and the archers are in the middle, shaped like a round shield, which is the shield formation. Combined with parallel positions, the three formations switch with each other to deal with different battlefield situations. On the other hand, in order to deal with the decapitation tactics proposed by Dad, we began to try to rotate the commander, and we must arrange the substitute order of the commander in the future.

I found Griml, the son of Grimswater and Rod's cousin. The father and son were originally out on the road, but Grimswater died three years ago, so the boy came to Falkreath to live with his uncle. Rod and his cousin grew up together and had a good relationship, so he was very sad for a while. After that, Griml followed his uncle to forge iron, and after Rod was appointed an officer, he took over the blacksmith shop. I asked him if he could make equipment such as tower shields, spear points, and javelins.

"If it's in Falkreath, it's no problem, but there's no furnace in Helgen, and Riverwood probably won't let us borrow one. But, I have a way..."

This guy lowered his voice slyly, and I knew that this was definitely not a legitimate channel. As expected, Griml and his father worked as traveling merchants for a long time, and made friends with many people, including those who could climb walls and rob houses. After all, whether thieves or robbers, they have to eat meat and drink wine, and they can't just eat Septim as a meal, so some people secretly trade with them. Doing business, it's not shabby.

Griml used to do business with the bandits in the Quiet Moon Camp. As time went by, he fell in love with the woman who was in charge of purchasing daily necessities there. After he settled in Falkreath, the two of them contacted each other several times. When the woman heard that he was still a bachelor, she expressed her intention to marry him, but things happened frequently in Falkreath, and she hesitated again. Griml said that he could contact the people there to make equipment for us. At present, we have less and less cash on hand. The payment method for trading with bandits is flexible, and we can also choose to barter, which can save a lot of trouble. As for the contact, Akari's caravan has been lingering for several days and is about to set off for Whiterun. The tiger caravans are basically all black and white, so this job is perfect.

Akari was naturally unwilling to work for free, so the price we offered was to provide them with a fixed trading post. The caravans that traveled everywhere carried a lot of cash and goods, so safety was a problem, especially after the loss of a batch of property in Waltham Tower. Akari also hoped to have a safe supply point. However, Dad and Rigel did not trust the tiger people, thinking that they were all skooma dealers, and the trading post was finally located in the Bloody Throne. That was my fiefdom, and I had the right to speak, and it was not far from the Pale Pass. If the situation in Skyrim deteriorated, they could move to Cyrodiil at any time. In addition, Eric promised to help Hayou regain the Moon Amulet, which also added a bargaining chip to the deal.

Akari left a female cat named Zenabi in charge of building the trading post, and led the others to leave with the equipment drawings. That night, three heart-wrenching cat calls came from outside the window. This was the secret code that Cindy and I agreed on. This girl learned it very well. It seems that she stepped on cat tails a lot when she was a child. The next morning, I missed the training and took Zenabi to choose a site for the Blood Throne. I had to argue with Danger again, but he couldn't force me to handle the affairs of my own territory. He just strictly ordered the tiger people not to sell skooma in the territory of Falkreath. In the end, we decided to use the cave where Vighar hid as a supply point for the tiger people. I left Zenabi to clean up the cave by herself, and I rushed to the Gray Water Cave.

I guess the underground river in the Gray Water Cave may be one of the water sources of the lake next to the Newgra Fortress. In any case, it drilled into the rocks deep in the cave and is difficult to accurately explore. Rather than a cave, it is better to say that this is a canyon with a narrow top, which is what we often call a line of sky. The light shines into the cave through the gap above the head, is cut by the stalactites and icicles, and then reflects through the water and ice, creating a dazzling scene. This cave is a hundred times more beautiful than in the game. If it were in the previous life, such a cave would definitely be supplemented with various colored lights and developed into a tourist attraction, but it is a very dangerous place in this alien world.

I moved slowly and carefully on the ice. It was like a cold and huge mirror maze, making it difficult to discern the route ahead. Under the colorful light and shadow, various dark corners became perfect places for sneak attacks. There was no clue in the cave that Cindy had been here. This girl either went out to have fun or deliberately hid her whereabouts. Since I couldn't confirm the situation in the cave, I didn't dare to call out. What if there were hostile creatures hiding in it? Wouldn't that be a tip-off to the other party? If I had known that the terrain here was so complicated, I shouldn't have chosen this place to meet.

The deeper I went into the cave, the more anxious I felt. I always felt like something was watching me in secret. Once I had this thought, I couldn't get rid of it no matter what. But if I just went back like this, what if I missed my business? I stood firm on a cold stone pillar, took a deep breath, clenched my left hand, and a purple ball of light condensed in my palm. As I murmured, a fire element appeared five or six meters in front of me.

Success! Because Helgen is full of wooden houses, I have never dared to practice this summoning spell. Now I succeeded on my first try, which is really exciting. And from the state of my body, this magic did not consume all my magic power. Am I really as talented in magic as Ilandur said? I observed the fire element and liked it more and more. It was surrounded by blazing flames, and even the glaciers under my feet melted. I saw this little fire figure, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, raised her right foot and stepped in the air. As she turned her body gorgeously, she threw a fireball in her right hand to the corner next to her.

There is indeed an ambush!

Damn it! If I take two more steps forward, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble. Fortunately, I'm smart enough! A black shadow rushed out and then hid behind another stone pillar. The fire element was not willing to let him go. The fireball in his right hand was like the Italian cannon of the second battalion commander, blooming with dazzling colors in the cave. I drew the oath sword from my waist, held the sword flower in my hand and waited for it. I must let this thief know how powerful the magic swordsman is!

"Locke! How did I offend you? Why do you always bully me?"

Cindy's crying voice came from behind the stone pillar, but was quickly drowned out by the whistling sound of the fireball.

How can I stop the summoned creature from attacking? I don't know...

The fire element flexibly moved around in the cave, looking for a suitable angle to attack. Cindy was forced to flee in a panic, but her clothes were still set on fire. In desperation, I had no choice but to raise my sword and attack my summon.

This is the first fire elemental I summoned!

The flame element is not only a mobile turret, but also has its own flame cloak spell, which will cause fire damage to the enemies around it. After a lot of trouble, my clothes were burned with several holes, and my face was smoked like the reincarnation of Hu Baoyi. Fortunately, this little fire man finally disappeared in a flash of lightning. Cindy stuck her head out with lingering fear, and before she could say the dirty words in her mouth, she was blown away by the shock wave of the flame element's self-explosion. Because I was too close and the ground was too slippery, I couldn't escape this disaster. The bear fur coat on my body has become a short coat. I gave this short coat to Cindy because her clothes were cut into a belly-exposing outfit by the flame element. In the gorgeous light reflected by the ice and snow, the flesh is hidden and the flesh is revealed. This girl has a really good figure. If she hadn't held the dagger with murderous intent, I really couldn't help but want to take a second look.

After being comforted by my kind words, Cindy started talking about business with red eyes. She took out a letter and handed it to me.

"Lucius, first of all, I want to congratulate you on capturing the city of Falkreath. Controlling the southern transportation lines is crucial for the Empire to quell the rebellion. Your father and I are proud of you. However, it is not enough to just capture the city. The Legion cannot station its limited forces there for a long time. Now that you have achieved a decisive victory, I order you to continue attacking the fleeing rebels and find Lord Sidger. He is a loyal friend of the Empire. If you can rescue him from the rebels, I will appoint you as the Legion's governor in Falkreath."

This letter more or less answered some of our doubts. From Tullius's evaluation, the traitor is Sidgeir himself. This guy colluded with foreign enemies to try to regain power. I wonder if Danger is still planning to protect him. The reason why the Imperial Legion is on standby is that Lucius has failed to capture Danger or rescue Sidgeir, so he has to wait for Tullius's next order. This Lucius seems to be a mediocre person. The messenger wasted ten days in vain to go back and forth to Solitude, giving us a chance to breathe. Now that Tullius' letter has been intercepted by Cindy, he should continue to wait for a few days. Tullius used words such as "conquer" and "decisive victory" in the letter, which makes us have to suspect that Lucius did not report the truth, so Tullius urged him to make persistent efforts and strive for complete victory.

In this case, we can't wait any longer. We need to take down Howling Bastion as soon as possible. If Lucius doesn't receive a reply, he will definitely send someone to contact Solitude. Now the Forsworn of Sunny Garden Bastion refuses to cooperate, and it is difficult for us to intercept all of their messengers. So we should simply organize a counterattack within the next week, at least to destroy the baggage of the Imperial Legion, and force them to give up their defensive posture and take action.

Talking about the situation in Howling Bastion, Cindy looked nervous. She said that after leaving Helgen Town, she went to explore Howling Bastion first, and sneaked in from the north gate according to the terrain map I provided, but she didn't even touch the first door and was discovered by the sentry in the corridor.

"Locke, do we have to attack here? That sentinel is a vampire!"
