21st of Sun's Dusk (Novee on a crossroads that serves both as a checkpoint and a travelers' inn Right now, the sht, a band of eight Nords arrived at the town in with horrific news, a large group of Foresworn is couards patrolled the town and sent a few ers to Markarth for reinforcements but they all returned so all exits
Wulfur, the leader of the Nord band, was tired and he rested in the inn for the night A ruantic freak and the situation escalated to this point The town did not know that Wulfur anted by the name to the Foresworn and his apprentices kept their mouth shut
In Wulfur's roo Wulfur ounded froed and in pain but he was lucky that he left Winterhold with many potions on him His wounds only needed soht it would be smashed like that Oblivion, as there such a creature in the first place
He sat depressed while applying a [Healing] spell on hi to make those Foresworn eat shi+t when they come
”Chief, I never knew you could use the Thu'uoodness sake If I didn't learn it after fourteen years of following him, then I should be some sort of fool” Wulfur smiled as he said so
”Chief, you can shout like the boss now, can you…”
”Like Jon? Oblivion, do you think anyone in the world can shout like him? I only can only shout once a day so I'll make the best of it”
”Oh! I see…”
”What is ie I aht any longer The Foresworn are almost a hundred and they have that freak I want all of you to rest well before they couards available while the other rest We need to be in our best condition for the battle” Wulfur uards There are a few of theht raised the number to 30”
Wulfur pondered a little
”That's far froe freak if he shows up and that one who calls himself Alaric is not an easy opponent for you These till bethe other Foresith hie tactics we trained on”
”Yes, Chief…” Thea little
”What is it, Jalgvar?”
”Chief, I a for us and knew you by name”
”…” Wulfur re… is there a chance that we are being a plan?”
Wulfur was thinking of that matter ever since he met Alaric Someone wanted him and to top it, the Foresere hired somehow It was impossible for the Nords to hire the Foresworn as the blood vengeance between the two races was always boiling hot Still, Jon said that the Foresworn are being controlled once He was sure that Jon may find a clue but that was not the time for these ideas They have to survive first
”Don't worry about that for now I don't think going to Orsinium matters now We shouldn't even head to Markarth”
”Are we returning?”
”Yes, this is the best course of action We should escape e put down enough of theht before Whiterun Hold, we then will reach Rorikstead and from there to Whiterun Rorikstead has better defenses and The Foreson't venture that far After that, ill bring the co”
”Thank you, Chief” The man said and left Wulfur to rest
Wulfur was still worried about another e the comrade that died but also wanted to return hisHe shook the bad ideas away and laid on the bed for some rest
Sun didn't even set before the Foresworn arrive The number was ht with someone before they arrive at Old Hroldan
Wulfur stood atop of a watchtower and could see Alaric and Grosh The terrain of the area was not suitable for an open battle anyway The village was on a road surrounded by two h the valley
”Just ould they bring that number?” Wulfur was vexed by the unforeseen situation
Out of his knowledge, Alaric hasall those Foresworn and that's not even the true nu When Alaric ordered the others clans to come, his actions were noticed by the Nord Clans outside the Reach and they didn't knoas going on so they mobilized their forces too Some of those clans were the Nordic 'Black Bone Clan', an enemy of the Fire the Fireo They were defeated but their ancestral home was far froo after them
Still, the Black Bone clan moved with other Nordic clans to intercept whatever those Foresere doing
Away fro place but Alaric has rallied the best numbers he can utilize to face Wulfur
”Torch that village Force those Nords out”
Alaric and the Foresworn started shooting fire arrows at Old Hroldan
”INCOMING!”
The Nords were fortifying the village to the best of their ability The children and the old ones were hiding in soe and thearrows back at the Foresworn
”This won't do e can't hold theround”
Wulfur and hisarrows back at the Foresworn and killed a considerable nuet, Wulfur decided to abandon Old Hroldan but was afraid that it would be used against hie
An hour passed and darkness descended, light in the village only meant death If a place was torched by a fire arrow and someone was spotted, then that person will be riddled with Foresworn arrows
The Foresworn tried to sneak in the cover of darkness into the village but Wulfur and his men were prepared for such tactics and used the reverse phycology to ee from its defenders
With one last distraction, Wulfur and his men escaped the abandoned Old Hroldan towards the mountains in the North
The Foresere the best to navigate in the Reach as they could utilize all the cave networks around the mountains to travel and soon the found Wulfur and his band One of Wulfur'soverrun by three beast-like Forsarriors Whatwith the Foresworn and acted as spellcasters to the Horde, Wulfur and his men couldn't help but run to abut a wall to their back, the seven Nords faced the Foresworn horde valiantly fending off their grounds as e rocks and on any Foresworn that dared to climb the mountain The Foresworn attempted to rely on their beast-like warriors to reach the Nords up the ht to of those warriors at the mouth of the cave and slew them
”Chief, what is that?”
One of Wulfur's e on a body of those beast-like warriors Wulfur checked it and saw a hole in the chest of that ht above the heart and instead of theartichoke-like seed
