The first thing that could not help was Dave, the youngest commander organized the language for a moment and said, "Mr. Jun. Master, although I do not agree with Ulfric's rebellion, there is no need for us to help the emperor. After all, it is an act of extermination of our faith!"

This kind of remark shows the uniqueness of Xuemanren. In the Skyrim Province, among the five territories under the control of the empire, in addition to the Xuemanling, Hafengar (Lonely City), Richi (Marcas City), Yar Border (Mosal City) and Fres (Fres) are called the New Four Territories. Due to the large number of other races in the territory, the territorial people have relatively open ideas and consciousness. Even the Nords who live in the New Four Territories do not have much sense of belonging to the Nord culture.

The four territories belonging to the Storm Cloak, namely the East Realm Territory (Wind Helmet City), Rift Valley (Rid Valley City), Winter Castle Territory (Winter Castle) and White Land Territory (Morning Star City), are called the ancient Four Territories. Except for Rift Valley, most of the residents of the other three territories are Nords. The folk customs of these three territories are more inclined to the traditional Nord culture. In summary, it is just one sentence: "Don't be cowardly, just do it!"

So many people mock these "Ancient Nords". There is a very famous joke that says: I'll tell you a joke, and someone actually wants to explain the word "tolerate humiliation" to a pure Nord, haha...

This joke is a stubbornness of these "pure Nords". Relatively speaking, Ulfrek was able to deal with the Empire for several years, and this tolerance was not easy for a Nord.

However, as the center of Skyrim Province, Xuemanling neither belongs to the New Fourth Corps nor the Gu Si Ling. As the commercial center of Skyrim Province, the people here have received a lot of impact from foreign thoughts and culture. Although they are not as good as the New Fourth Corps' people, compared with the Gu Si Ling, the ideological and culture here is already very open.

But at the same time, due to the existence of the two Nord families and comrades, Xuemanling still retains many of the traditional cultures of the Nords, and even in their belief in Talos, it is even better than Fengliu City. After all, the Talos statue of Fengliu City is erected outside the city, while Xueman City is directly built in the city, and there are special sacrificial priests (or fanatics) to preach to passers-by every day. At the same time, Xueman's statue of Talos is also known as Xueman Golden Tree, Yuehuasca Hall, Sky Furnace and Dragon Xiao Palace of the Comrades, and is also known as Xueman Five Scenes.

In such a special cultural atmosphere, Xuemanren's view on the civil war in Skyrim Province was naturally quite unique. Just when the ancient four leaders criticized the empire for destroying their beliefs and the new four leaders scolded Ulfric for his ambitions, Xuemanren could see it very clearly. This civil war in Skyrim Province had nothing to do with justice, it was just a different position.

The empire's approach was actually nothing wrong. After the Five Years War (World War), the empire exchanged a tragic victory for peace and signed a platinum agreement with his ancestor Shenzhou to prohibit people from believing in Talos, but there was no supervision. Especially in the Nords' hometown of Skyrim Province, there were statues of Talos everywhere.

But after the Ruichi incident, Somo used the excuse of interfering in things in the sky. In order to avoid greater conflicts, the empire had to strengthen its efforts to ban the belief in Talos and destroyed almost all the statues of Talos in the new four lords. But to put it bluntly, it was just a political compromise forced by the general trend.

The Storm Cloak, or Ulfric, is also correct. He was captured by Somo in the World War for the Empire. After returning to his hometown of Skyscraper, he not only did not blame the Empire, but instead led his troops to flatten the Reich territory for the sake of harmony within the empire, destroying the oath regime in one fell swoop. But he was betrayed by the empire and imprisoned again. Even if his father died, he could not meet for the last time, so he could only secretly ask someone to send a eulogy.

A series of blows made Ulfric disheartened, and the signing of the Platinum Agreement and the banning of the Talos faith also made many Nords dissatisfied. So after Ulfric was cast and took over as the Lord of Wind Helmet City and the Lord of the East Realm, a group of generals who had participated in the World War once again gathered under Ulfric's command and expressed their dissatisfaction with practical actions - establishing the Storm Cloak!

All of this seems to have nothing to do with Xuemanling. Before the World War, Xuemanling believed in Talos and still maintained her belief in Talos. Before the World War, Xuemanling was the faithful support of the empire and still supported the empire. She worked hard for harmony within the empire. No matter how you look at it, they are all a group of "neutral factions with firm stances."

Just like the two major families of Gray-Bai and Zhan Kuang, the Gray-Bai family is loyal to Nord's traditional culture and tends to be the storm cloak politically. The Zhan Kuang family is a representative of foreign culture. Although they admire Ulfric's actions, they support the empire even more.

However, these two families, which face each other and have to quarrel for a long time when they meet each other, formed a strange balance under the guidance of the Lord Balguff of Xueman, and no one gained the upper hand. Through the attitudes of the two major families, it also affected the position of ordinary leaders to a certain extent, and eventually became like a group of comrades. As long as you don’t come to provoke me, I’m too lazy to pay attention to you.

Moreover, Balgoff did maintain this position in the civil war. First, when the Empire and Storm Cloak were still recruiting new recruits, he spent all his vaults and recruited a large number of mercenaries. He became the third largest force in terms of troops, and forced the civil war between the two tigers to become a three-legged situation.

After that, the Storm Cloak was strong, and Balgoff stood by the empire with a clear stand. Of course, he was just standing on the ground to express his patronage against the empire. As long as the Storm Cloak did not take the initiative to attack, Balgoff was too lazy to take the initiative to attack, so he became a quiet handsome man in Longxiao Palace.

However, after the White Land Lord Scard plunged into the trap of the old crow Igrod with blood and ruined all the troops except the defenders, Balgoff keenly seized the opportunity and took control of the White Land Lord in one fell swoop. If nothing unexpected happens, the one who served as the White Land Lord after the Civil War must be Balgoff's confidant subordinate. Of course, it may also be Hognad, a fool.

As for the soldiers to help the Emperor's team?
