215 Powder Keg
Looking at the information on the projection map, the six people in the hall were silent. Sawyer even felt relieved. Fortunately, he did not really delay the meeting with the review board until this winter, otherwise...
After glanced at the "colorful" patterns on the map again, Sawyer couldn't help but shivered.
The entire map is centered on the Snow Tower, that is, the Hosga Peak, and spreads in all directions, showing the entire Hospit Province, as well as part of the border between the Hospit Province, the Hammer Province, the Gaoyan Province, the Selodil and the Morning Wind Province.
The three largest and most conspicuous signs are arranged in sequence from west to east on the map, namely the Iron Dragon, the White Horse and the Wind Bear. The Iron Dragon with the four territories of Hafengar, Richie, the Yar Border and the Fris, naturally represents the power of the Empire in the Sky Province. In the middle, the white horse with a range of like a high boot is naturally the snow-covered side of Sawyer, and the East with the three territories of Dongjing, the Winter Fort and the Rift Valley is naturally the storm cloak made with Ulfric.
Between the two territories of Fres and Rift Valley, there is a small narrow gray area, representing the buffer area of the Empire and the Storm Cloak. Looking at the separated Empire and the Storm Cloak, Sawyer also felt a little weird. He had fought for this situation for nearly half a year, but he did not expect that it would finally achieve it in such a dramatic way.
The colors represented by these three icons occupy almost half of the entire map, representing the official power of Skyrim Province. In addition, there are nearly ten messy colors filled on this map.
In the east of the map, in the mountains at the junction of Skyrim Province and Morning Wind Province, a pure black color occupied a small area. A hideous dragon floated on this black ball, representing the power of the disaster of Oduin and the dragon. In addition to this place, there are many small black dots hidden in the envelope of the three major forces in various parts of Skyrim Province. However, when Sawyer was busy with the civil war, the dragon had gradually awakened on this Great Six.
In the northeast, a bright yellow full of evil aura occupied the entire Southam Island. The white bone mask floating above Southam Island represents the army of believers under Mirak. In addition to the believers base of Southam Island, there are countless bright yellow dots distributed on the entire map, but Mirak has quietly spread his tentacles throughout the world!
Similarly, in the northeast direction, the direction of Valhatch Castle was covered with blood. There is no need to say much about the power represented by the blood-red bat. But with the same power as the believers of Mirak, these blood-red vampire forces have already spread throughout the entire area, and the number is even several times more than that of Mirak!
Looking at the densely packed small black, yellow and red dots under the three major forces, Sawyer almost suffered from intensive phobia. The Skyrim Province has been safe and has not been blown up yet. It is really strong!
However, this is not all. In addition to these forces scattered around the world, there are many gathering forces lurking on the edge of the Sky Province, just like jackals around an elderly and sick dragon. Once the dragon's might no longer be powerful, it will rush forward and share the dragon and eat it.
However, after taking a glance at these strands, Soya found that he seemed to know only one of them, but it was this one that made all the hairs on Soya stand up, Soya!
Looking at the south of Skyrim Province, not far from the south, above the large bright golden ball in the northernmost part of Selodir, the sign that was so familiar that it could not be more familiar, Saoya couldn't help but tremble a little, and he pinched his fingertips a few times before he forced himself to calm down.
(Impossible, all my actions at that time should have been erased by the power of elimination, and there was no living or a third party. That group of Somo could not know what I did!)
Sawyer kept reminding himself in his heart that after comforting him several times, he finally made his heart beat back to normal range and his body gradually returned to calm.
Sawyer pointed to several forces on the edge of the Skyrim Province and looked at Iron Gail: "Master, what are these?"
"Don't worry," Ein Gail looked at Sawyer with a smile: "The things you did have not been spread yet."
Didn't spread?
Sawyer curled his lips. If it really didn't spread at all, you wouldn't have said that.
However, Ain Gael's words still made Sawyer relieved. Since Ain Gael said nothing, Somo must not know about him. This gray-bearded master with a lot of integrity will not deceive him.
He cast a puzzled look at Eingael again, and Eingael slowly explained.
The bright golden power represents the ancestor Shenzhou, but it was not what Sawyer had arrived recently, but had traveled through Selodir early in the morning and lurked in this area in March this year.
“March? Civil War?”
"That's right."
Ain Gael nodded, but made Sawyer clench his teeth silently. These Somos are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
"What about these?"
Soya pointed to the chromatic groups located in the west of Skyrim Province, distributed on the junction of Skyrim Province, and Gaoyan Province, are they organizations like Sword Singers? But these marks seem familiar...
“These are all mercenaries.”
Iron Gael said in a word, and Sawy suddenly realized that the patterns surrounding the emblems were the things used by mercenaries to distinguish ranks!
With Iron Gael's explanation, Sawyer gradually understood, but his brows became tighter and tighter.
Mercenaries and mercenary groups are different. Although those large mercenary groups will also accept war tasks, most of their income still comes from various adventures and escort tasks. However, mercenaries are different. They were established for war since their emergence. Now that the Platinum Treaty is signed, the Empire and the ancestors of Shenzhou shake hands and make peace, the entire 6 has entered a period of rest and recuperation. The mercenary groups are still active, but the days of these mercenaries are getting harder and harder.
Without war means no tasks, and without tasks means that their brothers are going hungry. Seeing that the wealth accumulated before has become less and less, the mercenaries of All Da 6 were all worried and turned pale. But today, the civil war in the inter-province province suddenly broke out, which immediately attracted the attention of All Da 6's mercenaries.
While the war was still in its infancy, Balgoff hired all the large and top mercenaries in Skyrim Province, as well as several mercenaries, allowing the mercenaries in Skyrim Province to eat their first bite of meat.
As the war began, Tulius sent a call to Selodir to capture all the mercenaries of Selodir, and all brought to the Skyrim Province. However, due to geographical restrictions, Ulfric could only summon several human mercenaries from the Morning Wind Province, which he hated the most. As for those stronger dark elves mercenaries?
Not to mention that Ulfric doesn't want it, even the dark elf itself doesn't have a slight favor to Ulfric, so naturally he won't travel all the way to help Ulfric fight.
But no matter what, Selodir and Morrowind's mercenaries all took a second bite of bone.
But in this way, the mercenaries from other provinces were summoned, and you ate the meat and occupied the bones, so you must leave us a bite of soup, right?
At this time, although the mercenaries from other provinces were secretly anxious, they still looked light and calm on the surface. Everyone knew in their hearts that as the war progressed, the soldiers were injured and killed in battle. Even if the people who started a civil war were unhappy, they had to hire them to join the war in order to win the war.
But just as the group of mercenaries were sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, waiting for Tulius and Ulfric to invite them, they suddenly appeared that the battlefield led by Frex seemed to have become lukewarm?
These guys seemed not in a hurry, but secretly they were always paying attention to the main battlefield of the Fres Territory, especially the daily battle damage reports of the two major forces. Each mercenary leader was silently calculating in his heart, intending to take the initiative to attack after the loss of troops from both sides reached a certain level and express his kindness to Tulius or Ulfric.
After all, this is just a civil war in a province. Even if there is a bloody feud between Tulius and Ulfric, he is not able to hire the entire Great Six mercenaries. At this time, seizing the opportunity is particularly important.
However, just as the group of mercenaries were calculating in their hearts, there seemed to be something wrong with the battlefield report. Furcés's war loss was getting lower and lower. Later, the war loss report was even injured, and only a few reports of deaths were sporadically reported.
What the hell is this? Are Tulius and Ulfric playing fake football? Bah, are they fighting fake wars? Or are we reading a fake war loss report?
After a group of mercenary leaders confirmed the authenticity of the war damage report, they suddenly panicked. In fact, it was just that they were unwilling to struggle in their hearts. They still didn't understand. Whether it was Tulius or Ulfric, one of them must have no desire to fight, and even these two people had plans to truce!
How can this work?
We have been waiting for so many years and finally waited for a war. How could you stop just by saying that!
However, no matter how unwilling the mercenaries were, the civil war in Skyrim Province became increasingly strange, and in the end it became a play-like play, which made the mercenaries very worried.
However, before they could come up with a solution, the vampire incident suddenly broke out. The two armies returned to the court one after another, and several mercenaries also returned to their hometowns with large commissions, making the mercenaries from other provinces look red.
However, no matter how envious it, no mercenary came forward to rob their commissions. It was not only because of the constraints of the industry's rules, but more importantly, these mercenaries who took on war missions can be called giants in the industry. No mercenary is confident that when they take down them, they can still maintain personnel loss to a certain extent.
If you get the commission with great damage to your vitality, wouldn’t it just give other colleagues a chance to rob the robbery openly?
It was not just the crazy mercenaries who had gone crazy that first announced that if Tulius did not pay a certain price, they would have to ask for their compensation from Skyrim Province themselves, causing other mercenaries to issue notices. In addition to Tulius and Ulfric, there were even several notices asking for compensation to Balguff!
Nowadays, mercenary groups with no moral integrity can turn into bandits and robbers at any time. Isn’t it normal for these mercenaries to demand remuneration by threatening war?
As a result, these mercenaries gathered on the junction between Skyrim Province and Lake Hammer and Gaoyan Province, that is, among the western mountains of Ruichi Territory. After all, after a continuous civil war, the rebellion of the Swearer and the vampire raid, Ruichi Territory is now the weakest territory outside the entire Skyrim Province, and the mercenaries will naturally gather here.
As time went by, these mercenaries also formed four forces, namely the mercenaries of the Hammer-Down Provincial mercenaries, which were called Jianwu Mercenaries. It is said that several senior executives of Jianwu Mercenaries were inheritors of Jiansong, but they were not strong enough and dared not use the name of Jiansong, so they took the title of Jianwu.
The mercenaries in Gaoyan Province are the Canglang Legion. Compared with the Jianwu Mercenaries, which are famous for their swordsmanship, Canglang is famous for their overall strength. They are the mercenaries with the most complete arms, the largest scale and the strongest tactics. It is said that the overall strength can defeat the same number of elite troops!
The wood elves in the Valen Forest were divided into two factions, one of which was favored to the ancestor Shenzhou, and the place where it was stationed was also located in the south of the Fris, close to the secret garrison of the Somer Legion, while the other was extremely hated to the ancestor Shenzhou, and each elite member had a strong animal companion.
However, this mercenary group, which is the son of the forest, does not intend to plunder the property of Skyrim Province, but simply to prevent another faction from acting.
As for the tiger man's hometown Aisville and the Yalong man's hometown Black Swamp, there were no mercenaries coming. The former was not a large-scale mercenary. Most of the tiger man who left his hometown were active in the form of a mercenary group and a caravan. The latter heard that something was wrong with the Sister sacred tree. All the Yalong men in the Black Swamp were inspired and could not get away for a while to participate in this plundering feast.
In addition to the numerous forces, these forces that are malicious about Skyrim Province are also scary. The number of people in the four mercenary groups is as high as more than 30,000. The vampires and believers active in Skyrim Province are also more than 5,000. Although the Somo Legion is just a secret operation, it also has a scale of 2,000, not to mention those nearly invincible dragons!
It is said that Ricci's lord Igmund summoned all his troops back to Marcas City, and Tulius also left a large number of imperial soldiers in Fcrees, and probably heard some rumors.
Even Ulfrek, who is far away in the eastern part of Skyrim Province, issued a series of defense orders. You must know that if this group of mercenaries goes crazy, it is not something that a Richie leader can satisfy!
However, today's Skyrim Province...
"No matter how you look at it, they are all a very large powder barrel!"
Sawyah wailed, and now he had the urge to turn around and leave. What if the eight lords (1) gathered at the Hoska Peak, stimulated the group of mercenaries and ignited the powder barrel?
Chapter completed!
