Chapter 414: No Mans Land (4) : Enemies On Every Corner (1/2)
A/n: Another Double Chapter! Happy International Cat day (that was yesterday) and Happy Big Eid (That's Tomorrow)
(Part 1)
Days passed and Mournhold turned gloo fevers made the city feel a bit sickly especially in the southern Plaza district where the refugees have their slu some charities here and there to maintain the order around their areas and recruit able's resources while Mirren and Miranda were stationed as the Old Wouards Jon's job was to secure the perimeters and handle the public relations around the Casino
”Thane Jon”
”I'm not a Thane, Lanmas”
”Sorry, kinda a habit Anyway, our network has detected some of the Indoril Guards around the Bazaar See a letter to Jon
”H this ti Can we rely on you?”
”Easy What does the old cat think?”
”She said to make it clean We don't want a Great House to publicly hostile to us not so soon anyway”
”You think the Indoril will prosecute the White Cat publicly? The old woman has more popularity than them around”
”They'll use an underhanded method if they involved the faction if the Temple that supports theh! Look at us, two Nords worrying about Dunhed
”Currently, Dunmer politics is our lifeline So how many men will you take?”
”None, let hty Jon Dare is showing off some moves?”
”Haha! I will just mess around”
Jon walked the street away from the Casino to the entrance of the Bazaar
There, he found a few patrols of Indoril Guards dressed in their weird helms that represent the Hortator, Indoril Nerevar
Jon looked closely and assessed the guard skills Unlike the noruards, the Indoril Guards are elite soldiers with years of experience that outnu a secret identity will be a challenge
Jon checked his stash of Transformation Potions and luckily there were many, the Normal days he doesn't need to transform, he keeps the potions in spare flasks
Noas the ti untasty, the Potion was very abusable
Jon transforht A few minutes later, he a his arht back and a haughty face until he met other Indoril Guards
”Hey, Paul Is that you?” Jon said waving his hand to a guard
”Paul?” The guard looked at Jon trying to identify him
”Yes, a few Pauls are here with you I just ran into one on my way here”
”Who are you?” The Guards frowned
”It's nize me, Paul?”
So that he ed their attitude
”Who's your co on work hours” One guard said
”And ould I do that? I thought they only gag lollies in Skyrim”
” Huh?”
”Neverathered here” Jon asked
”You don't even know that? Where were you last night?” The guard asked suspiciously
”Out drinking I have a leave for personal reasons” Jon kept the bullshi+t on with a nor that Where did you say you are froain?”
”I didn't”
”” ””
Sadly, those guards were hard to trick Even though Jon's act was souards like theuards in front of Jon looked at each other and agreed that Jon is a spy
”Fine” One of the bust Now,us what you are here for”
”Oh! So you are the guards on that bust thing? Are there anyanymore
”Humph! You'll know soon One your knees”
The Indoril Guards surrounded Jon and one put a hand on his shoulder
”Oh, I hoped you'd do that, Paul” Jon srabbed the hand of thethe round
”Catch hiht away and a fight started in the middle of the market
Jon kicked to the back then to the front sending two guards away from him One attacked froot a knee to the ribs
”N'chow! (shi+t!) Use weapons”
The guards realized that Jon won't go doithout lethal force and drew their swords In an instant, Jon has closed the distance to them He used a couards and made it look loud
As the last Indoril Guard fell down, the market has already fallen to chaos and all the shops sealed its doors Once the main force arrives, the place will becoht each other was very unusual as it seeue
Heavy footsteps ca to the market and the Indoril Guards flowed out in nu in a pile of fallen fellow guards, their Captain spoke right away
”Guard, report! What happened here?”
”Yes, Captain” Jon said as he ran towards the captain and as soon as he arrived
”Reporting to your mother, you Indoril bastards owe hteous? Shame on you!”
Jon held the Captain from his clothes and carried hiuards behind hi, you madman”
”Catch this idiot!”
”Stop!”
And another fight started Different from the initial patrol, the main force was equipped with spears
”Haha! You Indoril bastards don't want to give me my pay? Fine Let's see how you can stop me”
Jon held a stall from the market and carried it over his head The Indoril Guards had their eyes widened and gulped from fear
”Hey, comrade Let's take this one out”
”Talkat them and crashed a hole in the middle of their for else”
The guards ran with Jon intending to kill him as fast as possible, Jon shamelessly turned tail and ran to the other side Whatever he finds on his path, he would trap it and throw at them The whole Bazaar district became chaotic and the Indoril Guards lost control over the situation against onefrom the s and frouard was able to do such a ruckus against the whole body of the Indoril Guards
Jon wasn't merciful either, wherever he ran, he would spout shi+t about House Indoril saying that they don't pay their retainers and swindle people This uard captains chase him with their teeth and nails to only eat his dust
In mind, Jon's destination was to the west of the district where the castle is
Mournhold was large, and an hour of running straight to the ouldn't even reach anywhere but that hat Jon wanted He rooted most of the Indoril Guards from their posts to come after him to the point where the ruckus was heard fro until Jon reached a certain plaza He was confronted with Guards from every street now as his path and escape were blocked
”Mercenary Krilon, you are surrounded” A voice called for hi
Jon stiffened, how on Nirn did they see through his disguise?
He looked to the rooftops and saw some men in a distinctive unique armor
”Te Why would the temple send people after him when he is known as Labourer?
This wasn't simple Those Temple Ordinators are in cahoots with House Indoril as they are inated froh to deal with and as Lanmas said, they should be from the Indoril faction of the Tehtened his senses and focused on the dozens of archers on their side too Jon put his hand on the guard heluise He appeared as a ed Dark Elf with brown hair and red eyes
”Huh? This guy is not a Nord” A Temple Ordinator was taken aback
”How? We were told the Nord nae uard did that?” Another questioned
”This This is not nor to plan then we have been had” The leader of the Ordinators said
”Kwa S'wit (fool), identify yourself” Another shouted at Jon
Jon's face became better as he discovered he is still safe
”Huht, she'd tell you, dimwit”
”WHA SHOOT THE bastard!” The Ordinator didn't take Jon's provocation well and ordered the archers
”No, wait” Other Ordinators tried to stop the archers but it was too late
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh
Arrows from all directions were shot at Jon, he didn't just stand and found a nearby stall to hide under Once the arroere all shot, Jon retaliated
A bow appeared in his hands and he took an arrow frouards on rooftops
”Take cover bastard's got a bow”
”Who is this uards?”
The Indoril Guards were at loss of what to do Volleys of arroere shot at Jon who kept running like a cat with nine lives and hides under stuff then shoots back All his shots were at the Guard's knees
”That's it! Kill him” The leader of the Ordinators aimed his hand towards Jon and evoked a Firebolt
The other Tee of Firebolts towards Jon
Jon saw that and a smile appeared on his face Under his feet, he has prepared a Fire Rune spell and overcharged it with an absurd aicka
Once the Firebolts were a meter away from he was already hundreds of meters away by a Teleport spell prepared beforehand
The Firebolts landed on Jon's spot and
Kabooe explosion shook the plaza The people felt the land shake and souards fell from the rooftops
”Boethiah!” The Ordinators were shocked speechless
”Serran! Did you cast a Fireball?” The Ordinator Captain asked the one as dissed by Jon
”N- No! A Fireballs can't do that”
(Part 2)
Jon left the Ordinators for their ownhim He looked at the Ordinators and frowned
”Someone was after me Someone knew my capabilities and tried to aure out the reason but roughly understood that there was so to hinder the Labourers and that is clearly House Indoril's faction in the Reclamation Temple Only they can hts
If that's the case then the Old Wo ene the ones around her
The Casinois the Old Woman
{Isha, act naturally} Jon telepathically called Isha
{Eh nothing, just a bee} Isha see to so} He said
{Like that?}
{Yes Where are you? What is your situation?}
{I a so distracted Try to return to the Casino fast I was pulled away too See}
{Can you explain?}
{Once you reach the Bazaar, you'll know Also, tell Gala hidden}
{ Fine}
Jon disconnected with Isha He was so distracted too

{I'ht?}
{Yes, is there anything wrong on your part}
