The former "Supreme King" Toig was at the bottom of the drawing room.
With His Majesty the Emperor here, he naturally has to give up the throne. The "princess" and the prince - or consort? are naturally higher in status than him. As for the Snow Hoof family over there? They are now members of the royal family, plus
The surrounding guards have all been replaced by sharp-eyed hawks, and their commander is still standing. Therefore, compared to other minor nobles who were kicked out, it is already good for him to have a seat, isn't it?
"Your Majesty, do you know? There are places around Rift Valley...the places where our...lord's arrangement is..." Esgail Snowhoof continued talking, and Toig noticed the current head of the Snowhoof family.
, Ulf Snowhoof's face began to turn blue.
Maybe he thought that if a son who was not very intelligent and usually just kept busy with his work would marry a princess, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages. But he never expected that someone would change drastically once they got married. How could this be a bad word? Everything he said about the city's military and military affairs
The political arrangements are all to the point. If the Imperial Regiment wants to attack the Rift Valley now, it will be almost the same as attacking an empty city. Even Toig, who has nothing to do with it, feels like breaking out in a cold sweat.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is natural that Princess Amelia is born with a very high affinity, which makes anyone feel good about her, and even if Eddie is only slightly affected, he is still very charming among ordinary people.
, and yesterday’s wedding was also very successful, with no blind assassins messing up the wedding.
As for what happened after the wedding, although there was a bit of a disparity in physique, Toig did not speculate too much out of the self-control of his elders. However, looking at Esgail Snowhoof today, he looked like he would swear allegiance to the empire, and he was basically the same as Aisgail today.
Milia was almost making a fuss, but at the moment she was holding hands with Lilith Snowhoof and whispering, and Eddie, who was blushing... well, they probably got along very well.
Looking at the juniors who have already stepped onto the stage of history, Toig suddenly wanted to go to the back house to meet his wife "Blonde" Alisif. Due to the busy schedule in Skyrim Province, the two of them had never had the chance to have a child, but now it seems that
Peace is at hand, and this matter should almost be put on the agenda.
"Report - Snowman Military Information!" A sharp-eyed eagle scout said loudly outside the conference hall.
This was obviously for the Snowhoof family. If they were not here, these scouts would come in directly to report, and they would say "big sister" when they opened their mouths. Toig glanced at the door.
"Come in!" Yagmi took two steps towards the door.
"Report to the... Commander," a scout walked into the conference hall and handed her a folded intelligence paper: "The Stormcloaks captured Falkreath, but gave up Morningstar and the areas east of Snowrun.
Armor Castle' shows signs of the Stormcloaks gathering."
The scout did not lower his voice deliberately. It was obvious that this was not some secret information. The content that needed to be kept secret in this situation probably only existed on the intelligence paper in the hands of the commander. But even so, the content was enough to shock Toig.
Already.
It seemed like it was just an exchange of one city and one place, but Xueman was put directly into the "pocket". The support from the south was interrupted, and the natural barrier between Morningstar and Winterfort made it not worth much garrison there, so it was
Xueman's channel for seeking help from the north has been cut off. At this time, if the Imperial Regiment wants to support Xueman, they can only go along the main road from Loristed in the west, and the Stormcloaks must have been prepared to disrupt...
"Let Tasilius continue to garrison the Gray Marsh Fortress, but remove all disguises and display the imperial flag." Yagmi said: "Unless Balgruuf sends a messenger to ask for help from us, do not take a step closer to Xueman."
"But General Tullius and Governor Reggie are not under our control?" the scout recorded the order and asked again.
"Tell them that this is also my will." The emperor said from a distance.
"As ordered." After the scout finished recording, he immediately bowed and exited.
It seems that the Empire decided to take the opportunity to force Xueman to choose a side, and the timing was also very clever. It happened to be when the Stormcloaks couldn't bear it any longer and decided to strike preemptively... No, it couldn't be regarded as being unable to bear it. They should just have succeeded in obtaining the legendary
The "Jagged Crown" has only expanded. This silent infiltration operation has been carried out quietly since the mission to capture the crown failed. The small conflict on the eastern border of Xueman is just a show for both sides.
.
Toig thought for a while before he understood what was going on, and then he was frustrated to find that his political and military talents needed to be improved, so he might as well find an opportunity to abdicate and let the talented go home to cultivate the next generation.
——13:47——
Snow Man City, winding area.
Today was a rare good day, with no wind or snow. After lunch, Naqim, who was dressed in old aristocratic attire, wandered around the city as usual, turning a blind eye to the pedestrians and guards who stayed away from him, and kept looking for the accidental ones.
Chat with people you haven't avoided.
Although most of the residents of Xueman laughed at him as a vain, lying, and unrestrained fake nobleman who deserved to be beaten, why didn't they think about it, "pretending to be a nobleman" was a crime, and they would be imprisoned and whipped.
Yes, but have those Snowman guards captured him so far?
Moreover, what right do those bald commoners living in the plain area have to laugh at him for building his house in the meandering area? Even if it is the location of the ancient fort, it is still in the meandering area!
As for the status of nobility, those common people must not know that under the long-standing traditional aristocratic titles of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, there are also two purely military aristocratic titles: baronet and knight.
, and he, Naqim, is the "Junker" under the knight!
Although this title was awarded by the lord because the farm ran well and paid more grain and taxes than other farms. If the grain supplied to Xueman in any year is less than a certain standard, it will be deprived of it, but it is also worthy of the name.
noble!
With this status, he can freely enter and leave Longxiao Palace. Although he is not allowed to approach the lord at will, he can put forward various opinions to him and eat in the hall. This is enough to show off to the common people.
However, telling people directly, "I have been to Longxiao Palace and talked to the lord, you must show respect to me!" This kind of behavior is too stupid and can easily arouse resentment, so you must use questions, hints, and insinuations.
Let the other person think that he is in front of a nobleman and express respect naturally. Well, that's it. He feels that he is simply too smart.
"Friend, have you been to Genting District? Oh, what am I talking about, of course you haven't been." Naqim said to Hemsko in front of the Talos Altar.
"Ah ~ [Taros] ~ You have been elevated from man to god, but you have maintained the humility of man ~ You have never asked for our faith ~ But how can your people give up their faith in you because of your humility - "
Hemsko, who was wearing a light yellow hooded robe, completely ignored him.
"The common people here don't know how to respect a noble at all. You know, for a person to be called a noble, he must have made a much more important contribution than the common people, don't you think?" Naqim continued to chatter, and
Trying to pull Hemsko's arm.
"Holy Spirit is above~ You are not anywhere but you are everywhere. You don't need any prayers but you will help anyone who really needs help~ You are the God of Gods, the Ninth Holy Spirit~ The great [Talos]——
"Hemsko raised his hands in prayer to prevent Nachim from approaching.
"Boom!!" A deafening loud noise came from the main entrance of Xueman, and the ground shook violently at the same time. Naqim, who was unsteady on his feet, felt his ears were buzzing and could not hear anything.
"——"
"Enemy - attack!"
The dizziness gradually dissipated, and Nachim began to hear the shouts of the Snowrun guards. They were suddenly attacked, but they still gathered hurriedly and began to build defenses on the spot. There were sounds of large-scale operations further away.
"Empire? Or Stormcloak?" Naqim looked confused. If he were asked to choose, he would not support any side in this civil war, because no matter which side, it is impossible to give him a noble because of his good farming.
With his title, he might even forcibly confiscate all the grains as military rations...
"No matter where the attack comes from, they must be driven away." After thinking of this, Naqim suddenly got the courage to stand up and stretched out his hand to Hemsko who fell to the ground: "If your
[Talos] If you don’t have time, we will do it ourselves!”
"How dare a mere Nachim say that?" Hemsko grabbed his hand and stood up, but seemed to say something seriously insulting casually: "Believers of [Taros] are never afraid of fighting.
!”
Sa! Sa! Sa!
As if to confirm their words, several huge boulders roared high into the sky and hit the meandering area, one of which was aimed right at Nachim and Hemsko.
"Hell, hell..." Although Naqim had made up his mind to fight for his title of "Squire", facing the boulders falling from the sky, his legs kept shaking and he was completely unable to take even one step.
"Talos on top——" Hemsko, who had been sitting in front of the Talos altar all year round and barely exercised, was no better.
[Consciousness only·Direct Death Demon Eye]
The moment the huge boulder fell, it suddenly turned into powder all over the sky. Nachim and Hemsko were thrown all over their faces and were at a loss.
"During the time we left, the Stormcloaks came over," a slightly hoarse but very pleasant woman's voice sounded from behind them: "Fortunately, the teleportation exit is a bit off, otherwise we would not be able to catch up, and at least it would have to collapse a few times.
house."
Following the words, several other boulders that were about to fall stopped strangely in mid-air, then flew straight upward and disappeared from sight.
"It's only a matter of time." The next voice that sounded was Naqim's extremely familiar voice, Baron Snowman, Arthur Pendragon: "It seems that we have no choice but to repel them while avoiding casualties as much as possible.
