363 Falkreath's Old Battlefield (Part 1)

Uncle Rock took a long sip of the pipe, and the smoke slowly spurted out from his nostrils, covering Uncle Rock's face.

"I remember back then, I was also a passionate young man. I also used my sword to punish evil and eliminate evil, but the wind that day was too noisy..."

"Speak human words!"

Yisu interrupted Uncle Locke's "remembrance" in a angrily voice. As far as he knew, although Uncle Locke had served as a soldier before, he did not participate in the battle led by Frechers. After somehow he became a caravan leader, but he only ran through the trade route from Snowman to Frechers, and never went to the old battlefield at all!

"You don't give old Locke face," Sean came over and imitated Uncle Locke's voice: "Young man, you disrespect my past!"

"Get out!"

Uncle Locke raised his hand and hit Sean's head with a pipe. He snorted a few unhappy times before looking at Yisu again.

"Don't talk about these useless things anymore. You should know where the old battlefield is?"

"Isn't it the largest battlefield between the Empire and the Storm Cloak during the Civil War? I heard that there were many undead there, so I was going to go there to practice my skills."

Yisu was a little puzzled. Nearly three years have passed since the pause of the civil war of the Vampire Rebellion and the present. Shouldn’t the existence of the old battlefield have become common sense?

According to Yisu's understanding, the old battlefield is located in a wilderness east of Fres's territory. It was once the most fierce battlefield between the Empire and the Storm Cloak War during the Civil War. Both sides successively invested more than 40,000 troops on this battlefield, accounting for two-thirds of the total strength of the entire Fres' battlefield!

The fierce battle was naturally accompanied by a large number of deaths. Even if the victorious party would collect the bodies after each battle, thousands of corpses were still buried underground, and the rich breath of death circled on the old battlefield. Within a few months after the end of the civil war, countless corpses crawled out from the ground and turned into dead bodies wandering on this former battlefield.

Since the civil war had not yet ended, the blood clan chaos occurred. After that, the entire Sky Province was in a state of war, and no one paid attention to the "small problems" of the undead on the old battlefield. So much so that after the Battle of Dawn a year ago, this area had completely become a land of undead, and the power of death was rooted here. Even if various sects have been here to purify the undead for the past year, the power of death will continue to nurture new undeads.

Moreover, because the power of death is too strong, it even blocks the power of the sun, causing the undead to wander on the old battlefield all day long, and there will be no gap in strength due to day and night.

"The Dead?"

After hearing Yisu's understanding of the old battlefield, Uncle Locke and Sean beside him curled his lips. Sean even patted Yisu's shoulder with a look of a silly roe deer: "I think, according to your ideas, let's learn to do business with me."

"What else is there except the undead?" Yisu asked in confusion: "Are they those small forces that specialize in collecting undead materials on the old battlefield and rely on reselling materials to make a living?"

"Little force?" Sean shouted exaggeratedly: "You must usually understand the situation through your family's collection of books, right?"

"Ahem, that's right..."

Yisu coughed awkwardly and said vaguely, if you regard Jingcheng as a family force, that's right. After all, Jingcheng's information is more detailed and more realistic. If you go to the tavern to collect information, at most, you can hear some trivial matters in the city and surrounding areas at his level, as well as some "big events" that have been mixed with a long time ago, and there is no way to screen for suitable "leveling" locations.

"Your family says it well in books, it is indeed small forces," Uncle Locke nodded, but then changed his mind: "But the so-called small forces are also aimed at your family. For the Lijiang Chamber of Commerce, it is a local force worthy of attention. For our single caravan, we must make good friends with each other and abide by some of the rules they set!"

"And for you, a Maverick..."

Uncle Rock took a sip of his pipe, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

"That……"

Yisu's heart suddenly became bitter. He originally thought he had found a good place for beginners to level up, but in the end he found that it had been booked by several major guilds.

"There is nothing to hesitate about. I'll take you to the old battlefield for a walk."

Uncle Locke slammed his pipe and grinned.

"Uncle?"

"I'll hand over some of the cripples of Frechres and just go to Rift Valley, but you'll have to go to Rift Town with me at that time."

Uncle Locke waved his pipe, but his indifferent tone made Yisu feel a little moved. Instead, Sean, who was doing all kinds of troubles on weekdays, became worried: "In Rift Valley Town... our strength is a bit insufficient, right?"

Yisu also nodded in agreement. The Rift Valley Territory is not like other territories in Skyrim Province. The Rift Valley Territory is now a land of law. The lords who can be manipulated have no laws to serve. Even apart from a lord guard with more than 20 people, there are only some spontaneous civilian militia groups. Apart from that, there is not even a decent army. It only relies on the customary rules between major forces to maintain superficial stability. The filth between small and medium-sized forces in secret is countless.

In that kind of place, if you don’t have enough strength, then the power behind it is useless no matter how powerful it is, because many times you don’t know who launched an attack on you. Even if you escape by chance, you don’t know who should take revenge. In this environment, if you want to lead the business in Rift Valley, you need at least a second awakening master to take charge.

"It's okay," Uncle Rock still looked heartless: "There is a stronghold in Silent City near Rift Valley Town. Let Sean inform you at that time and let the brothers of Silent City respond. We don't go to Rift Valley Town, but just notify the local merchants and trade in the stronghold."

"It's useless..." Sean suddenly became discouraged and looked desperate: "You didn't read the letter a few days ago, right? All uncles and uncles went to carry out missions, and the remaining demon army remained in Silent City. And I heard that the people stationed in the Rift Town are not Shadow Blade's people, but have replaced the Silent Blade with more than 100 people."

"Blade of Silence, this is a bit troublesome..."

Uncle Locke also frowned. Shadow Blade, Silent Blade and Demon Army are the three major armed forces in Silent City today. The rest are the second-tier armed forces such as the City Guards, Support Group and other second-tier armed forces and "foreign-employed armed forces".

Among the three major armed forces, Shadow Blade belongs to the intelligence agency of Silent City and is an absolutely neutral faction. In the absence of the city lord, he only obeys the instructions of the Silent City Council. Silent Blade is the largest fist of Silent City outside the city. However, in the process of expanding his power, he absorbed many scattered people, so that there were many hills inside the army, while the Demon Army belongs to the direct force of Silent City, maintaining its external deterrence with an average strength exceeding the standard, and generally does not participate in the battles of various factions.

In essence, the Demon Army is equivalent to Sawyer's direct troops, and its relationship with the Liar Chamber of Commerce is naturally very close. The predecessor of the Silent Blade was the reserve of the Demon Army, and later it became an independent army. Although it was considered to be of the same lineage as the Liar Chamber of Commerce, there was no more connection to it today.

Moreover, among the three main factions within the Silent Blade, one of them advocated the complete incorporation of the Liar Chamber of Commerce into the Silent City to serve the Silent City. If it weren't for the suppression of the Silent City, people would have sent to the Liar Chamber of Commerce to "search the house" long ago.

The Chamber of Commerce also had quite complaints about this, but it was suppressed by the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce of Old Daiwen and others. With the efforts of the senior executives of both sides, no armed conflict broke out. The Chamber of Commerce of Lijian can continue to become a collaborator of Silent City with a relatively independent attitude.
