Unable to vomit after several attempts, Julia stood up and asked Luo Chen, "You bastard, what did you do to me?"
Luo Chen smiled faintly: "You'll find out soon enough."
He walked towards her step by step, while Julia retreated step by step until she fell to the ground.
Julia's loyalty has increased to 1.
Julia's loyalty has increased to 2.
Julia's loyalty has increased to 10.
..
Luo Chen emerged from the Dusk Cave with satisfaction. However, Julia, who followed behind him, was disheveled, with some parts torn, and looked at the ground with a somewhat dejected expression.
After experiencing this war, the Luo family army and the members of the Thieves' Guild became like brothers, and at this moment, the two were dealing with the corpses on the ground together.
Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction. Brinjov walked over, and Gore was tied up under the group.
"Kill me, Luo Chen, and we can at least forgive each other for being brothers!"
Goer's voice carried a hint of sorrow, and also a sense of not wanting to waste any more time with Luo Chen.
"We've been through thick and thin together, do we really have to face each other with our lives on the same level?"
Deep down, Luo Chen still wanted to continue the relationship with him, but unfortunately, the other party didn't want to dwell on it anymore.
After sighing, Luo Chen turned his head and waved his hand reluctantly. His subordinates knew what their leader was thinking, so they pulled him up and walked out the door.
Luo Chen watched the blood slowly flow down the ground, then turned his head and said, "Brinjov, the Thieves' Guild has been emptied out, and I have thoroughly angered God. Now that you have lost God's protection, will you still acknowledge me as your master?"
Staring at Luo Chen before them, Brinjov and the others immediately knelt down: "Greetings, Master! No, Master is the one we should greet!"
Luo Chen gently pulled him up and said to Brynchov in front of him, "Now that you can't go back, you might as well all come to my place!"
"Yes Master!"
The group quickly headed towards the city of Winterhold. Upon seeing Winterhold, even Brynjov was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that Luo Chen would have such methods. No, it should be said that his master had such powerful means!
Luo Chen stared intently at them, watching them act like country bumpkins, constantly marveling at the greatness of this place, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Geoff, do you think Winterhold is beautiful?"
Brynchov had spent most of his childhood in the Valley Rift City and had never seen such a beautiful city before, so naturally he thought it was beautiful!
"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, more beautiful than any palace made of gold!"
"So what do you think of Whiterun?"
Luo Chen's question seemed somewhat casual, and Brinjov on the other side did not dare to answer carelessly. Luo Chen then said again, "Everyone here is one of us, there's nothing wrong with saying it!"
Brynjolf then said, "Reporting to my master, compared to Whiterun, it is estimated that we are still quite a distance away."
His voice grew softer and softer. In fact, Luo Chen sometimes disliked this aspect of his personality, but everyone has their own choices and personality traits, so Luo Chen naturally wouldn't force him.
"Since this place can't compare to Whiterun, why don't we move there together?"
Brynjolf said calmly, "Well, Whiterun is still under the control of the Empire."
Luo Chen laughed heartily: "If we snatch it, won't it become ours?"
Brynchov felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing Luo Chen's words. Such a huge city, and he was told that it had to be taken. With such a master, would his future path be difficult?
After speaking, Luo Chen turned around, and the carriage entered Winterhold at that moment.
A figure flew out of Winterhold at lightning speed and rushed forward excitedly upon seeing Luo Chen.
"Owner!"
Luo Chen also stepped down from the carriage. For some reason, the people around them seemed to understand everything when they saw the man and woman. They then led their entourage directly into Winterhold.
Nigal and Luo Chen talked for a while before returning to the lord's longhouse. They did some more things they liked. Luo Chen dressed and went out into the hall. By then, everyone had finished washing up and, except for some seriously injured guys, they all gathered in the lord's longhouse to eat and drink.
"Let's demolish this lord's longhouse from now on and make arrangements for everyone to move into Snowfall Palace, how about that?"
As everyone was eating, they suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Chen in front of them, wondering if Lord Luo Chen was joking with them.
However, Luo Chen's expression showed no sign of joking. He continued, "Next, I'll make some arrangements for you. Brynjov, you'll be transferred to the Second Squadron. The brothers from the Thieves' Guild will also join. If there aren't enough people, I'll add more. After this experience, I've thought it through. Every unit must have a mage: three junior, two intermediate, and one senior mages. All of them will be transferred from the Winterhold Academy!"
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
"Since everyone has received a share, then you all must put in the effort. Starting tomorrow, everyone will intensify your training. We will set off for Whiterun in a month!"
The news that Luo Chen was going to attack Whiterun spread quickly, and everyone's immediate reaction was that another war was coming. However, this time it wasn't a struggle between Nords, but a battle for power.
Chapter 278 Night Raid on the Middle Border
If Fallen Dust's goal was merely Winterhold, he probably wouldn't have gathered so many people under his command.
A month of training passed very quickly.
Winterhold
Balgoff stared at Julia in front of him: "Is Luo Chen really going to attack?"
Julia nodded: "I came back immediately after I heard the news."
Balgoff looked at her, this woman who was like his own daughter, but recently it seemed there was something amiss between them.
How has Luo Chen treated you?
Julia sighed. During this period, she had been "punished" quite a bit by Luo Chen.
"It's nothing more than trapping me in the dungeon, nothing serious."
Balguff was a shrewd man, but since the other party didn't say anything, he couldn't force the issue, so he sighed and said, "You should go back first. We'll collect Luo Chen's debt another time when we have the chance."
After saying that, Julia withdrew.
Dressed in a Nightingale suit, Brynchov stealthily made his way to the central border. About a hundred soldiers were standing there, alerting the surrounding area. He moved like lightning.
Looking at the two guards at the door, they felt as if something flashed past behind them. The two guards turned around to look, but there was nothing there.
"Hey, did you just see something?"
Soldier A asked Soldier B, who glanced behind him but saw nothing. In fact, he had seen the figure flying past quickly from the corner of his eye.
However, sometimes, people have to deceive themselves in order to get through life peacefully.
Then Soldier A understood immediately, staring intently at the other man before turning his head away. At that moment, Brinjov drew his Nightingale sword and plunged it into Soldier A's neck. Soldier A, seeing Luo Chen before him, collapsed to the ground.
"No, don't come any closer! I was wrong, big brother! I'll give you anything you want!"
Just then, a dark figure appeared behind him, covered his mouth, and lightly slashed his neck.
Then the figure fell to the ground. Brinchov nodded to the person in front of him, and then the person moved aside the wooden pole in front of him, and about a hundred people sneaked in.
"Brothers, success or failure hinges on this moment. If we fail, our army will face a powerful enemy. But if we can successfully defeat them, everything will go much more smoothly from here on out."
A longing, a desire for victory, was evident in everyone's eyes, and they all nodded solemnly.
A soldier, still half asleep, came out of the room, intending to find a large tree to relieve himself. He noticed something flickering in the shadows, so he went over and started searching, but found nothing.
"Did we run into all these things? If only it were a woman!"
But thinking that such a thing probably wouldn't happen to him, he simply urinated on the pile of grass in front of him.
After everything was settled, the soldier's stomach suddenly growled loudly. He seemed to be extremely resentful: "Damn it, to have an upset stomach at this time. Maybe I should just bear with it, but never mind, I shouldn't hold it in!"
So he squatted down, intending to expel all the troublesome stuff in his stomach, but unexpectedly, at that moment, a voice came out from the straw mat.
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!"
No sooner had the voice fallen than a man appeared, staring directly at the soldier in front of him. He wanted to shout, but at that moment, the man in black pounced on him, pinning him to the ground and covering his mouth tightly.
Seeing this, Brynchov knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he drew his Nightingale sword, and darkness enveloped him.
After the soldier was tackled to the ground, he writhed on the ground. The man in black who was on top of him said calmly, "Alright, alright, shh, it'll be over soon. Be a man and face this happy occasion, okay? Stop being so girly!"
The soldier felt a wave of despair, and at that moment, he defecated. The man in black's eyes turned cold: "Damn it, I tolerated you peeing on me earlier, but now you're so scared you've defecated, you deserve to die!"
After saying that, he slit his throat, and just then the guy inside rushed out: "Hey kid, you've been taking your time peeing, I was waiting for you to play cards!"
However, upon seeing the group of burly men in black robes opposite him, the man took two steps back: "Guards! Enemies!"
Although Brinchov rushed forward immediately, his shouts had already carried far. At the same time, all the soldiers around him quickly sat up from their beds, each holding a weapon, and rushed out of the room. The last man did not run downstairs, but instead hurriedly climbed onto the roof and lit a fire. A wisp of smoke drifted faintly into the sky.
Brynchov removed his mask: "Damn it, hiding is pointless now. All men, charge! Leave no one alive!"
After saying that, all two hundred-plus people rushed forward and cut down all those people one by one.
Balgruuf, still fast asleep, was sleeping like a log when Julia quietly slipped into his room, carrying a short dagger.
"It seems we should end this now! I'm sorry, but I can't control it!"
Just as she was about to make her move, a soldier rushed in anxiously, and Julia swiftly slipped the dagger into her sleeve.
Balguff sat up in bed: "What on earth happened?"
The soldier glanced at Julia, then turned back to stare at Balguf. He frowned slightly. "Julia's one of us, so feel free to speak your mind!"
After saying this, he turned around and said, "Zhongjing has been ambushed!"
"What did you say?"
Barguff's eyes widened!
Chapter 279 The Battle of Whiterun
The soldier was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground. Balguff took a deep breath and then exhaled a long breath.
"If that's the case, then I'll see just how capable this Luo Chen really is!"
Balgoff ordered his soldiers to prepare to deal with Fallen Dust's advance, then turned to face Julia.
"You came to my room in the middle of the night, surely not to report military intelligence to me?"
Julia wanted to explain, but her body moved on its own, producing a short knife from her sleeve, seemingly aiming to slash at her godfather's neck.
Fortunately, Balgoff's movements were incredibly fast. In a single flash, he snatched the dagger from Julia's hand and quickly twisted her arm.
"I've always considered you my own daughter, but why, why have you betrayed me?"
Julia also shed a tear, undoubtedly feeling immense pain in her heart at that moment.
"Godfather, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
Perhaps it was the effect of his tears that softened Balguf's heart, but he never expected that as soon as he let go of Julia's hand, Julia's body would once again become out of control, and the dagger would quickly plunge into Balguf's heart.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest, gritted his teeth, and struck Julia with a palm strike, sending her flying backward.
Balguff stared at the man in front of him, sighed, and said, "Why, why did you deceive me?"
Julia coughed up blood, perhaps from the blow, but regained her senses. However, Balguff's palm strike had completely drained her life force, and she was barely managing to survive.
"Godfather, don't worry, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you 々~!"
Julia's eyes held an inexplicable determination as she poured all her power into Balgruf, who finally caught his breath and looked at the dying Julia before him.
"What exactly happened to you? If you wanted to kill me, why did you save me?"
Julia hesitated for a moment before recounting the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Balgruuf stood up excitedly, a rush of blood to his head, and Julia secretly stepped forward to press on his chest.
"Father, please don't get agitated. We'll get through this!"
"In the past, you caused the death of my child. I, Luo Chen, will make you pay a bloody price for this grudge!"
After saying this, Julia began to dissipate, and a few specks of her gradually floated into the sky.
Balguff could only stare blankly at all these changes, unable to do anything, or rather, completely powerless to do anything at all.
"That damned Luo Chen, give me back my child!"
After crying for a while, Balguff finally calmed down: "Come out! What kind of hero hides in the shadows all the time!"
A person emerged from behind the curtain, but his face was covered in dragon scales.
"Haha, you're just a mere dragonborn, yet you've beaten you to this state. It's just a pity that my lord wanted to use you to lure the dragonborn into becoming our greatest allies!"
Balgruuf stood up and said to the man, "Respected Dragon Envoy, I know how important the Dragonborn are to you, but this is my daughter's revenge, and I have no choice but to avenge her. Please go back and report to Lord Patunax that I will do my best for the Dragon Clan. Please give me this opportunity!"
The Dragon Envoy glanced at him: "Then it depends on whether you or the Dragonborn survive. We have a premonition that the gods will soon get involved in this matter, so our dragon race needs a representative in the human world. As for who will ultimately be that representative, I can't say. In other words, everything depends on your strength!"
