Chapter 304 The Emperor and the Guards

 My name is Akatosh,

There is nothing wrong with a son inheriting his grandfather's name.

——4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 22nd, 21:07——

Sea of ​​the Dead, Royal Fleet, Flagship "Katariel".

The current emperor of the Septim Empire, Uriel Septim II, is reading the information about Skyrim collected by the Sharp-Eyed Eagle in the atmospheric but not luxurious study.

This is a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair. He has a strong build and gentle eyebrows. He is steady, confident and polite in almost any situation. He likes to convince people with reason in everything. In the eyes of those who love and admire him,

Naturally Yuan Ting Yue Zhi is as brilliant as a god, but in the eyes of those who don't like him, he is sanctimonious and pretentious.

"'Your Majesty Uriel Septim II', haha..." The emperor looked at the title on the information and smiled slightly.

If he followed the traditional naming method, he should be Martin Septim III, but his father did not dare to use the name of the founder of the Fourth Age. When he ascended the throne, he chose to continue to use the name Uriel and named him after Martin.

·Septin called himself Uriel Septim I on the grounds that he ushered in a new era.

In this way, when the order of names comes again to the seventh generation - the title of Martin Septim's father, the unlucky emperor may have to change his name again.

Due to the blessing of [Akatosh], all members of the Septim royal family have dragon blood, but whether they can awaken the power is another matter. The reason why Martin Septim was able to create a new era is because he

When he awakened his power at the critical moment of the Annihilation Crisis, he directly summoned the incarnation of the [Dragon God of Time]. After driving away the Demon God Dagon, the Lord even crowned Martin on the spot. This kind of honor even belonged to Tiber Septim.

None of them have it - even if He has now become the Holy Spirit, it will be useless.

Therefore, if the Thalmor elves' original request was to ban the worship of Martin Septim instead of "Talos", this war would still be fought.

"Thalmor..." The emperor turned over several pieces of information about the activities of elf envoys in various places in Skyrim Province, and frowned slightly.

The signing of the "Platinum Agreement" was not at all like what was claimed to the outside world. It was due to heavy losses on both sides that they had to stop fighting. To be precise, the losses of both warring parties were negligible for a war that affected the entire continent.

What really made the top leaders of both sides make up their minds was the frequent occurrence of "impossible miracles" on the battlefield.

In addition to the casualties caused by the face-to-face fighting between the soldiers, the armies of both sides did not reduce their numbers when occupying villages, marching tiredly, and even crossing dangerous areas. The activities of bandits and heretics in various places also decreased significantly, which had to be compromised by the command of both sides.

The reader suspected that someone was protecting both of them at the same time. Thinking about the main god worshiped by both warring parties, that name was already coming to mind.

The Dragon of Time [Akatosh], the King of Elves [Ali-E]. Both warring parties are his admirers, so they cannot intervene in this war. They can only try their best to create a fair environment for both fighting parties, while protecting those who are affected by it.

Civilians affected by war.

After realizing this, the leaders of elves and humans found themselves like naughty children fighting at home. The father/mother had to prevent them from actually hurting each other and at the same time prevent them from destroying the tables, chairs, dishes at home——

I didn't want to fight for a moment.

After the signing of the "Platinum Agreement", Thalmor obviously changed his strategy and turned to using means other than war to weaken the empire in all aspects. Judging from the actions of those "envoys", this inexplicable rebellion in Skyrim Province must be related to them.

Very shallow.

"Well... Her Royal Highness the Princess fell in love with the second son of the Snowhoof family in Rift Valley City, and he was kidnapped and disappeared at the engagement party..." The emperor read the report with a toothache on his face and put his hand on his forehead.

In this information, the writer carefully chose the words, vaguely revealing the meaning of "Her Royal Highness the Princess may really have been kidnapped. Your Majesty, please calm down."

He couldn't be more calm!

First of all, it is absolutely impossible to be kidnapped. Although the sharp-eyed eagles sent to protect the princess know that Emilia is very powerful, they do not know how powerful they are. They only imagine for her based on their own understanding of power.

It's just an upper limit.

Compared with the second piece of news that they thought was important, the first piece of news made His Majesty the Emperor so worried that he would just fall in love with anyone and then get engaged and get married in a flash. This style was exactly the same as that of her mother!

Katrina Preiss, the daughter of an ancient family in the Capital Province, together with the current queen, Victoria Vicky, and the emperor who was still called Bolvar Septim, made many achievements in the war with Thalmor.

For his meritorious service, he was awarded the title of earl.

Before His Majesty the Emperor finally ascended the throne, changing his name to Uriel Septim II, Victoria was still ready to argue with her about who should come first. As a result, she went to hide in the earl fiefdom in Dustwallow Marsh for about half a year, and then

On the night of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, they sent back Emilia Septim, who was still a little baby at the time...

Until now, there are still rumors circulating in the government and the public that the queen is very fierce and the emperor is very henpecked. Even if Victoria tries to change her style and save some image, it will fall apart after Katrina secretly "visits" the emperor.

And every time he was lectured by the queen, the emperor was helpless. He could not explain to her that the countess was actually called Ericia and she was a black dragon...

Therefore, when he saw the report that the new baron of Snowrun, Arthur Pendragon, was "suspected of being able to transform into a dragon", he felt no fluctuation in his heart and even felt a little gloating.

This report was submitted by Delphine, the branch leader who stayed in Skyrim when the Blades merged into Sharp-Eyed Hawk. It also submitted the legend of Alduin's destruction and speculation about ways to stop it.

You can leave it to [Akatosh] to worry about the destruction of the world. The emperor doesn't care about it at all. When His Majesty Martin passed away decades ago, the Dragon God also took action to take away his soul. As for

This Alduin, the reason why he hasn't been slapped to death by a claw is just because he finds it interesting.

Although it was the Thalmor's request to abolish the Blades and merge them into the Eagle-Eye, it was Katrina who ultimately made it happen. She herself proved that the dragons were not enemies of the Empire.

"Report on the fact that the Stormcloak has obtained the 'Jagged Crown'..." After reading this information, Uriel Septim II's expression became serious.

The fact that a group of people with foreign surnames carried out a rebellion to divide the territory and split the country in the name of restoring the glory of the founding emperor is not comparable to the actions of the Redguards in Hammerfell who simply refused to accept the "Platinum Accord".

The problem is that there are nine major territories in Skyrim Province. Since the empire unified the entire continent, they have always been in a state of mutual checks and balances, and each is relatively independent. This is no different from their thousands of years of tradition of relying on their own strength. The so-called Supreme King is just a

Just a shelf.

In the eyes of these Nords, tradition is good, and big fists are reasonable. Whoever finds the crown of the ancient emperor will naturally listen to whoever finds it. If the Stormcloak can finally overthrow the empire's rule in Skyrim, then this place

It should be under Ulfric's control.

They completely ignore material production, goods circulation, and economic development, and live by their primitive planting, hunting, and mining industries. If possible, the emperor really wants to cut off all foreign trade routes in Skyrim Province and let these barbarians see only

It depends on what they can achieve on their own, but no, that would mean completely leaving this place to Thalmor. You can see how ambitious they are by building an "embassy" near Dugu City.

A suspected powerful magic item went out of control and was destroyed? Well done!

"Hey, old man, we will arrive in Skyrim Province tomorrow. Do you want me to just go and chop that Ulfric down?" A cold female voice sounded in the cabin.

"It can't be cut." The emperor put down the information: "Besides, I am not old."

Click, with the sound of leather boots hitting the ground, the figure of the woman who had just asked appeared in front of the emperor's desk.

This is a tall and beautiful woman. The ordinary sharp-eyed hawk uniform wears on her but reveals a sharp beauty. Her facial features are cold and sharp, her amethyst-like eyes are bottomless, but the arc of her eyebrows is relatively soft.

, her soft long purple hair hangs down to her knees, with a slightly inconsistent lavender bow tied on top of her head.

The difference from other royal guard uniforms is that the dragon-shaped decorations are gold.

Tohka Yatogami, former leader of the Blades, captain of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle Combat Force, commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, honorary duke of the empire, and "the Lord of Slaughter".

After she appeared, she stared at the emperor without saying a word, which made him feel quite stressed.

"Emil will be fine, we all know this, stay calm." Uriel Septim II said to her.

Perhaps because they have the same hair color, Yagmi likes Emil very much. This time the princess volunteered to solve the problem in Skyrim Province, and even sent half of the sharp-eyed hawks who protect the emperor to follow. If it weren't for the fact that the princess prefers lightweight weapons

, she would probably give her her big sword for self-defense.

"Your so-called 'soft policy' doesn't seem to be effective," Yagmi said, his voice like ice cubes hitting each other, crisp and cold: "The easiest way is to directly obliterate the source."

"If this method is effective, how can we sign the "Platinum Agreement"?" Talking about his area of ​​expertise, the emperor's momentum slightly overwhelmed his guard captain: "This is not a problem of a certain person or a group of people.

Since then, the empire has regarded this birthplace of mankind and the hometown of the founding emperor as an extremely stable rear. It was not until problems arose that they realized that the situation was too serious to be solved simply by force. They must first cultivate their sense of belonging to the empire.

"

"Asking Emile to pardon the prisoner has no effect." Yagmi raised an eyebrow.

"That's not my instruction..." The emperor shook his head: "In short, sending his daughter to calm the situation first, and then the emperor visiting Tianji Province in person is enough to express the sincerity of the empire and the human touch of the royal family, and should be able to win over a considerable number of wavering people.

people."

Looking at the sharp-eyed eagle leader whose expression remained unchanged, the emperor added:

"There is absolutely no idea of ​​getting her married!"
