Chapter 9: Unrelenting, I do it without a mod
"Sidis, you are a very outstanding swordsman. Given your merits for me, I grant you the right to live in this city with the power of the Lord of Snowman City. As for specific matters, you can go to Provantus to handle it." Balgoff sat in his chair, supporting his right cheek with one hand, and gave the black-haired swordsman in front of him the reward he thought was appropriate.
(In other words, I still have to pay for my own money to buy a house?)
"Thank you for your generosity, sir." I feel that I am not easy to show on other people's land, and I do need a suitable identity and a stable residence in this world.
At this time, the gray-skinned and red-haired elf, Eriles, the guard of the Lord of Snowman City, came hurriedly wearing armor.
"Sir, a dragon appeared, and a dragon attacked the outpost."
"What's going on? Iriles, tell me slowly." As the elves came, there was also the court wizard Farenjia in a purple witch robe. Compared to the elves' guard's urgency, Farenjia looked excited. He was a scholar-type wizard who had been studying dragons for many years. Now a living dragon appeared is great news for him. As for what the dragon is doing now and what it is going to do, this guy doesn't care.
"Well, no matter whether it is a dragon or anything else, you can't do anything in my territory. Iriles, take the guards to the outpost to take a look."
"Yes, I have ordered my people to gather at the city gate."
"Very good, don't let me down, Iriles." Compared to Farenga's abnormal reaction, Balgoff's reaction to his guard leader was more normal.
"Sir, please let me go too. I have been studying dragons for so many years, and now it is a great opportunity." Farenjia took the initiative to ask.
"Sorry, Farenjia, I can't let you both take risks. And I need you to stay here and study how to protect Xueman City in front of the dragon." After rejecting Farenjia's Secret Fire, Balgoff turned to Sidish, who had not left yet.
"Friend, I'm afraid you'll help me again. You came here alive in Helgen. You have more experience with the dragon than all of us. I hope you and Ireles will help her deal with the dragon... This is the advance payment, please don't refuse. I will still be rewarded after this." As he said that, Balguff directly untied his arm armor and threw it to Zhu Peng.
Zhu Peng has the ability of an appraiser. Even if there are some differences in treasures in different world planes, once the arm armor drops, he feels the power contained in the magic pattern on it. Equipping these arm armors can increase his sword swing speed to a certain extent.
"As you wish, I will do my best to assist Iriles." He directly equipped his arm armor on his elbow, and Zhu Peng followed the guard commander Iriles and was about to go out. At this moment, he didn't know if he was facing the extremely powerful dragon he encountered in Heergen, but no matter what, with these guards and Iriles, Zhu Peng had enough confidence to ensure that he could survive.
"Hey, your two swords have exhausted their magic power, so it's not OK to go to the battlefield like this." As he said that, the palace mage Farenjia came over and handed Zhu Peng a small cloth bag containing some small soul crystals with strange light.
"I really envy you for seeing a real, alive dragon. If you have the chance, bring me something related to the dragon."
"I will do my best." As he said that, Zhu Peng smashed two soul gems on his two swords, and the purple and blue flames once again burned along the enchanting texture.
The western post was attacked. Although it was late at night, the two teams of elite soldiers brought by Zhu Peng and Yireles quickly arrived at the western post of Xueman City. It had turned into a burning ruin. The few soldiers left behind looked extremely panicked, and it was obvious that their mood had collapsed.
"No, no! It is still circling nearby. Ruoki and Toul were caught by it while running away, and it ate them!!" The bald soldier in Xueman City was already scared and a little mentally ill. Iriles continued to ask in anger. Seeing that there was no result, Zhu Peng walked aside to check the blood on the scene and the attack marks left by the dragon when it landed from the sky.
(It seems that it is not the one in Heergen. The dragon claws are relatively small, and the dragon breath is flame and its strength is also the same)
"Ao!!"
At this moment, the roar of a dragon suddenly came from the sky behind him. Zhu Peng suddenly stood up and turned around and saw a huge gray-white body flashing. Then a dazzling and bright flame pillar shot down from the dark sky. The blow was abrupt and fierce. Four or five of the elite soldiers brought by Yiriles were burned into running and crying firemen.
"Does, dispers, find cover, archers aim a little before firing!"
"Use the sentry tower as the defense center to disperse." The previous order was issued by Iriles, and the latter order was issued by Zhu Peng. There are still some remnants left in the western sentry tower, so it is safer to let the archers fight directly with the dragon. Of course, if the melee warriors cannot control it, the remaining sentry tower will be buried at one time after it is knocked down by the dragon.
Upon hearing this, Yiriles turned her head and looked at Zhu Peng, and then ordered the soldiers under her command: "Do as he said, melee team, follow me!"
The strength of Iriles is unquestionable as the dark elf who can become the most confidant guard commander of Snowman City Lord Balgoff. This powerful dark elf did not hide in the relatively safe ruins of the western post tower with the archers. Instead, he held a sword in his right hand and the ice blue magic light flashed with his left hand, leading the guard melee team to charge to the front line of the battle.
In this world, because of the sufficient magic content and a lot of people have the talent of spellcasters, the magic swordsman profession has also emerged. Casting extreme ice fog with the left hand, and after greatly weakening the opponent, it is a very popular tactical method of fighting, because ice wizards can not only bring damage, but also have stronger additional effects to reduce the physical energy and movement speed of the recipient.
And Iriles is obviously the best in this field. The ice fog she fired was even frozen even by the gray-white dragon that was descending. The guards of Xueman City around her took advantage of the opportunity to rush forward to attack melee... The Gunolds were glorious about fighting the dragon, and the powerful warriors born in the Snow Country Sky in the North were even more proud of being able to compete with their ancestors. Of course, the troops brought out by Iriles were the elite among the elites, and they were completely incomparable to those ordinary guards who were intimidated by the dragon.
Not only the archers on the western post tower shot all their archery downwards, but even the soldiers holding big axes and shields and swords roared and charged forward. However, the gray-white dragon shook his head violently. The dragon head wrapped with thick scales and top corners was like a heavy hammer under the control of the huge force. The light armor covered by the guards of Xueman City could not stop it at all. Just swept violently, causing the blood waves to splash, and the human body and flesh to shatter.
"Ao..."
Dragon pupils glanced at the dark elf that brought the greatest damage to him. The gray-white dragon opened its mouth and spit out a vigorous fire at Yireles. It seemed that because of the gaze, the dark elf who had been moving vigorously and extremely flexible all the time suddenly froze, as if she was shocked. She was about to be destroyed directly to the scum. At this moment, a figure holding two swords suddenly blocked Yireles.
(Although I look ugly, I still need to save it. The strength of this dragon is not right. The dragon's power is too light, the scales are too brittle, and the tactics are closer to the beast... In other words, it can be blocked.) Inhale slightly, and the airflow around it suddenly surges and gathers. The swordsman with black hair and black pupils opens his mouth slightly, and a blue-gray energy condensed from the wind is formed in his mouth, and then...
"Vosloda!"
A wave of air suddenly erupted, colliding with the violent fire waves that were surging, because Zhu Peng's dragon roar was explosive output, while the fire waves of the opponent's dragon were continuous attacks. In addition, Zhu Peng's time was really good enough, so the light blue air ball with insufficient rear power rolled up the raging and white dragon's body, and the superposition of power almost knocked the dragon overturned, and the center of gravity was unbalanced.
A large amount of bloody smell surged from his mouth and nose, which was forcibly suppressed by Zhu Peng. At this moment, his physical strength was between the second and third levels, and his internal organs had never been trained at all. Even if he had swallowed the healing potion before taking action, he could use the backlash of the dragon roar of a mortal body, which almost made Zhu Peng vomit blood and fall into a state of serious internal injury.
Holding the double sword, he continued to pounce forward like lightning, not for other reasons, but for people like Zhu Peng, he loves fighting, so he can reach a point that is almost unattainable in this field and exert his limited combat power to the extreme.
Although the gray-white dragon has much weaker scales than normal adult dragons, its vitality is still extremely strong and powerful, rotating and biting endlessly.
The dragon's head, wings, and giant tail are all its combat weapons. Apart from the lucky ones that were beaten away and broken, the remaining melee teams were quickly smashed into blood and mud all over the ground. However, these heroic warriors also had results. They only used the giant axe and sword to force the tough scales that were covered with the dragon's body. The arrows shot from the ruins of the whistle tower have real lethality.
Because the melee team was entangled in front, the archers could continue to control the strings and shoot, gradually nailing the bright red blood-colored dragon into a big hedgehog.
"Go to die!"
The dark elf held a one-handed sword in both hands, and after injecting a large amount of magic power, facing the head of the dragon and slashed violently. Zhu Peng even jumped onto the dragon's back with his long sword, holding the sword in his backhand and stabbed the dragon's right wings. Mortals had to face the dragon head with the dragon. If they could not destroy their flying ability, they would never be able to win the final victory.
This is like the ancient Chinese infantry facing the cavalry attacked by the grassland, which can maintain an extremely high winning rate, but once it is defeated, it will be a massacre and a great defeat. The power of both sides is too much worse.
It seemed that he finally woke up from the rage provoked by mortals, and realized that he could fly. The gray-white dragon fluttered into the sky, intending to find a place to slow down and then turn around and destroy the small insects on the ground. However, as Zhu Peng gradually flew higher and he exerted force violently, and he opened a considerable hole in the dragon wings like a cutting of the two swords in his hand.
If it was in the height of a giant dragon, such a large wound would not affect its short-distance flight too much. However, the giant dragon that Zhu Peng was stepping on and attacking at this moment was already close to the end of his strength. After being hit by this insulting blow, he could not control his body and tilted toward the sentry tower. With a loud bang, the stone tower that had already collapsed completely collapsed this time. The chaotic stones crushed Zhu Peng, the dragon and some snowman archers who could not escape under the rocks.
At this time, the dark elf Ereles acted very righteously. She bit off the bottle stop and swallowed the next tube of potion. She breathed a little and rushed into the pile of rocks and pulled out the people. At the same time, she also directed other soldiers who were still active to come and help. About seven or eight minutes later, a huge golden flame suddenly burst out and then soared into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, two long swords suddenly pierced out of the rocks. Zhu Peng, covered in blood and scars, crawled out independently from it. Below him was a dragon skeleton whose body had turned into yellow bones.
"...What did you do to it in such a short time?" Iriles was a little stunned when he looked at the dragon that was still alive and jumping just now, turning into a huge bone in a short time.
"I did nothing to it. This is not a normal dragon... My sword cannot capture its dragon soul, and it has a higher level of power to protect the dragon soul." Because the dragon roar he used before was not expelled, Zhu Peng's voice cords were damaged at this moment, and his voice was hoarse.
At this moment, in the distance of her vision, a group of soldiers wearing heavy armored horses galloped over on war horses. Among them, there was a slim figure who was obviously not superb in equestrianism. However, she was the most urgent. After arriving at the ruins of the battlefield, she almost got off the horse in a falling posture, and then rushed to the battlefield and saw the twin-sword boy she was worried about.
"Mr. Sidish, thank you Kena Rise, you're fine." Amyra, a red-haired girl wearing light armor, was covered in bows, and tears were in her eyes. When she saw Zhu Peng, she fell to her knees and held her hands to thank the gods.
"We went to clear out a vampire nest. We knew that a dragon was attacking Xueman, so we rushed back with all our might. Unexpectedly, you have already solved it. Sidith, Iriles, you are really amazing." A young swordsman in the comrade group said this, and his eyes were full of meaning when he looked at Zhu Peng.
"Wilkas, this guy is currently the strongest shield sword warrior in his comrades. He is extremely proud. You have refused to recruit Warriors House. Be careful that he challenges you. Of course, it will never be now." Yiriles whispered beside Zhu Peng. The two of them fought side by side with life and death, and their relationship suddenly got closer.
A few hours later, when Zhu Peng and Yireles led the remaining soldiers back to Xueman City, the sky was filled with clouds, and suddenly a thunderous whisper that shocked the earth: "duwokei (Dragonborn)!"
(Dragonborn? Listen to this voice, like me, it is not the roar of a dragon, but the roar of a human body. There are many people in this world who master the verbs of a dragon with their human body. I heard that Lord Ulfric of Fengdu City tear apart the supreme emperor of this world with his roar.) After all, Zhu Peng has been in this world for a while. He reads quickly, learns things and learns things, and when he walks with Amyra and Vanur, he will also gain some common sense in this world indirectly.
Therefore, I still have some understanding of the confrontation between the Imperial Army of the entire Sky Province of this world and the Storm Cloak Legion of the Wind Dun City.
………………………………………
Xueman City, Longxiao Palace, and the main hall.
"Well done, although the Western Post was destroyed, you killed the dragon. Although I knew I could rely on Iriles, it was obviously not enough to rely on her and those brave soldiers... Sitsis, you will be a great help to me and my city. I will grant you the baron with the rights of Lord Xueman, which is the highest title that I can grant."
"I will appoint Ledia as your personal guard, and at the same time give you this weapon from my arsenal as a symbol of your identity. And I will also inform my guards of your title, and we don't want them to think you are an ordinary lower civilian, don't you?"
"Finally, we are honored to welcome you to be our baron, Sidith." The confrontation between the Imperial Legion of the Skyrim Province and the Storm Cloak, and even the outgoing Dragon, the messenger of the Doomsday, in the ancient myths and legends of this world, all of this obviously brought considerable psychological pressure to Lord Balguff. A powerful swordsman who is brave enough to fight against the dragon is obviously worthy of giving titles, houses, and women to win over... Although the title is very low, the house I gave is only the right to buy a house and not decorated, and the female guard is not beautiful, but as a small country lord, Balguff has obviously reached the limit he can do.
The aristocrats in the Middle Ages in the West did not have the strong control of the ancient Chinese emperors because of their lack of administrative capabilities. Although Balguff had accumulated some wealth, he had no money to buy real estate for all his confidants. As long as he did this for one person, he could not be stingy with others. Compared with the old butler Provantus and the head of the guard, Yireles, Zhu Peng performed well, after all, he was just a newcomer. The benefits that Balguff could give had reached a relatively upper limit.
The hermits of this world, the spiritual leader of the Nords in the Sky, made a thunderous rolling roar at the top of the throat of the world, summoning the dragon descendants in ancient legends, but Zhu Peng is not a dragon descendant. It is difficult and will not choose to descend as a descending spy shadow... Who steals things and runs under the master's nose to steal, and the spy shadow wizard is a similar situation as a leader who sneaks into the alien plane in the wizard world. Generally speaking, it will not easily become a son even close to the plane.
………………………………………
It took Zhu Peng nearly two months to buy a property in Xueman City and completely renovate it. This speed surprised Provantus, the butler of Balguff, in Skyrim Province. If you want to buy a house and settle down in a big city like Xueman, it is often the result of the joint efforts of generations in this world. If you are not careful, you have to go back to the countryside and towns. Zhu Peng's speed is equivalent to completing the efforts of several generations of ordinary people in less than two months.
"I honestly farm and work and do some small businesses, of course, it's not as fast as we can grab them. Well, the mission is completed, everyone will go back to their houses and find their mothers. Don't go to my place to have a free meal at night, especially your Vanur." The robbers in Skyrim Province are too tumultuous. Compared to hard farming, the sturdy Nords prefer to take a tomahawk for themselves. In addition, Skyrim Province is an important commercial hub for the entire empire, so this province is rich in robbers just as it produces strong and heroic warriors.
"Master Baron, please do not say this. It is to equate us with robbers to defile the glory of warriors. According to the laws of the sky, we can eliminate robbers and harvest spoils, which is a legal income."
Zhu Peng followed the Shield Sword Warrior, the Baron Guard of Snowman City, Ledia, the heavy orc hammerman who followed him, and the female thief Amyra who sneaked out of the comrades from time to time, and Zhu Peng himself, an adventure team was almost complete. It was precisely because of the establishment of this adventure team that Zhu Peng saved a lot of energy and cleared out the robber's nest everywhere without affecting the progress of his demigod real body construction, and accumulated a large amount of wealth in a very short period of time.
Vanur is an apprentice, and Amyra is half a rookie. Only Ledia, who is a mature combat unit, is also Zhu Peng's personal guard. According to the tradition of the sky and the laws of Xueman, she even had her life for Zhu Peng, and she was not qualified to share the profits. Zhu Peng must have won nearly 80% of the total profit.
But even so, the profit sharing of only two layers still makes the pockets of Ladya, Amyra and Vanur far more than ordinary mercenaries. During this period, even the first hunter of the comrade group, Ayra, was not as wealthy as his niece.
As an old monster, Zhu Peng's leadership, execution and judgment are quite terrible. Whether to accept tasks, whether to do tasks, how to complete tasks at the lowest cost and get the greatest profit, this whole set of methods is only slightly better than others in all aspects, but after being superimposed, a qualitative degeneration gap has emerged.
At night, Zhu Peng made medicine in the house "Fengzhai" he bought.
The property has a good geographical location and the interior decoration is also first-class. In addition, the rumors of the owner "Dragon Slayer" and have close contacts with the adults in Longxiao Palace. All of this makes the neighbors around respect Zhu Peng very much. This is true in any world. The rich guys are always easily awe.
