With the Ball of Valmina in his pocket, the lord opened the "Golden Tree Portal" and returned to the Gray Stone Castle in one step.

I was thinking of striking while the iron was hot and heading to the "Northern Kingdom" Labrinthian for adventure. But I was blocked in the castle hall by the messenger from Rich.

Faleen, the Messenger of the Reach, is a female Redguard warrior and the steward of Lord Igmund of the Reach.

Lord Reach Igmund previously supported the Empire and had a good relationship with the Thalmor regime of the Third Ancestor China. However, during the "Markarth Incident" in 4E 176, Igmund ostensibly supported Ulfric.

The Stormcloaks and his rebels, and used Ulfric Stormcloaks to help him recapture Markarth, the capital of Reach, which was occupied by the Forsworn. Immediately after the Empire signed the "Platinum Accord", he "had to

Unable to conceal his grief and anger, he expelled Ulfric and his Stormcloaks from Markarth City, who claimed to believe in Talos, the ninth Holy Spirit. This also became one of the triggers of the civil war.

When the lord, "Return to Skyrim", went to Reach to follow the traces of the dragon and stopped briefly in the small town of Castlevetten, he heard that Logie Junsu, the owner of the Scorching Stream Mine in Keynesgrove Town, had moved to Seth.

Cudaburg became the Lord's chief brewer, and after possessing the enviable title of Brookwood Squire, he became the owner of the two silver mines and the smelter of Sanulak Mine and Fenn Canyon Mine.

, chose to resell the family property to the lord. As expected, the pair of children who helped cook in the lord's kitchen of Markarth City: Rondach and Warda moved to Brookwood City as Brookwood squires. They grabbed the Forsworn and Stormcloaks.

Before the full-scale war broke out, the mine owner Enitah and his entire family escaped in time and moved into the Lord's Ximu Territory, gaining long-term protection.

Moreover, with the price paid by the Markarth City Silverblood family to purchase the silver mine, the lord only purchased half of the ownership of the two mines. The remaining half will forever belong to the family of the mine owner Enitah.

This trivial incident later became another heroic story that the lord talked about.

The Lord's old acquaintance, Dushnik Yar's stronghold orc chief's daughter Rashi Gra-Dushnik, the mine supervisor, recommended his uncle Ironhand Gorbash, who has served the Imperial Legion for many years, as the mine and mine manager.

The arrival of the town's guard captain, the orc ranger Ironhand Gorbash, and his orc comrades has greatly enhanced the protection of the mining town of Castelveten, ensuring that the mined silver ore can be safely transported to the creek.

Wood.

With the mining and transportation of high-quality silver ore, the three major demon-hunting organizations of the Lord, the Silver Hand, the Vigilant, and the Dawn Guard, have gained unprecedented success with the enchantment of the "Forge of the Moon" and the exclusive magic ring.

Prosperity.

Of course, the change of ownership of two high-quality silver mines also puts the silver-blood family in Markas City at a competitive disadvantage. The loss of tax revenue from the two silver mines also makes Markas City's financial revenue even worse.

This is obviously one of the subsequent derivative plots caused by the Lord's in-depth intervention.

"How is the situation?" Since he was an old acquaintance from old adventures, the lord asked directly.

"The situation is dire, Lord Baron. Our forces are barely able to withstand the Forsworn attacks, and merchants are reporting the loss of more goods. This is why my lord has been clamoring to wage war against them, to form a legion to take the Forsworn forever.

The reason for driving out Rich."

Faline shrugged as she spoke: "But how much can those hastily recruited legionnaires know about the mountains of Reach? And how much can they know about the caves hidden under the hills? So the cities and settlements

Safety has become the only issue that my lord can care about. As for the rest (the wilderness), we can only rely on the locals themselves. In addition to the sneak attacks of the Forsworn who appear everywhere, our troubles also include attacks on trade convoys from the Stormcloaks.

Attack. The Stormcloaks are lurking on every road, attacking every passing caravan. To be honest, the trade of Malkath has begun to collapse. What's worse is that the Stormcloak rebels have retaken Windhelm City,

Completely controlling the entire Eastern Sky."

"You have every reason to worry about the future of Markarth. Gold and silver are the lifeblood of this city, and it will not stop beating because of war." The Lord hit the nail on the head.

"As you said, Lord Baron, my lord had already sent an envoy to Dugu City when he arrived, requesting General Tullius to cancel Reach's recruitment order and leave enough soldiers to protect the trade routes." At this point, Fa Fa said.

Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"However?" The Lord Lord has already guessed.

"However, the Silver-blood family secretly contacted General Tullius and vetoed my lord's request to cancel the Reach military conscription order. What is even more disturbing is that, under the pretext of lack of manpower in the mine, the Silver-blood family sent troops to the mountains and mountains of Reach.

Orc tribes throughout the world hired strong orc miners on a large scale. As you know, Lord Baron, orcs are both skilled miners and powerful warriors."

"You suspect that the Silverblood family is secretly colluding with the Stormcloaks, preparing to cooperate inside and outside to seize Markarth City." It is exactly what the Lord thought. This "Bear of Markarth" hibernating in Windhelm City has quietly

He opened his eyes.

"Yes, I am the only one who doubts it." The head of the Reach leader cryptically revealed another hidden crisis in Markarth City.

However, as the plot lord of the only Zijin VIP in the Golden Age of Sanctuary, Wu Chen's experience solidified into thinking more: "Find Guo Zha."

Soon, Stonebreaker Goza Gra-Bago was ordered to arrive at the castle.

"Good day, my dear master." Even if he was selected into the "Seventh Commitment List" by mistake and successfully cultivated the first war troll Stonebreaker, Goza Gra-Bago was still full of joy.

of good mood.

"Good day, Guozha." The lord asked directly: "Have there been any rumors about the orc stronghold in Reach that need our attention recently?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I just heard about it, Master." Of course, Stone Breaker Guoza Gra-Bago would not hide it: "Recently, someone has sent messages to people from various tribes.

The chiefs promised that as long as they send troops to capture the city of Markas, they will receive generous rewards."

"Who wants to hire these tribal chiefs?" the lord asked again.

"I heard it was Madanak, the 'King in Rags'." Stonebreaker Goza Gra-Bago's answer was unexpected.

"Huh?" The Lord was stunned: "During the Great War, while the Imperial Legion was being transferred away from Reach, he led the Forsworn to capture Markarth and declared his independence, King Madanak of Reach?"

"Yes, Lord Baron." Faline, the housekeeper of Richland, obviously remembered correctly.

In the great war of 4E 174, Reach's imperial legions left their base to reinforce the imperial capital, leaving Markarth almost defenseless. The Reach Forsworn retook Markarth and declared it an independent kingdom. This time

The uprising overthrew the Reach lord Hrolfdir and elected their leader, King Madanach. They attempted to turn the Reach into a legitimate kingdom within the Empire. However, for the Nords,

There can be no peaceful kingdom in this land.

In 4E 176, before the Empire and Markarth came to an agreement, Lord Hrovdir raised a Nord force, including Lord Ulfric Stormcloak, to besiege Markarth. Anyone who did not join them

All faced the wrath of their lords. Lord Hrovdir was slain in battle, King Mardanak was imprisoned in the Cidhna Mine, and the Forsworn retreated back into the mountains.

In the end, Ulfric was victorious. Before the Imperial legions could restore order in Markarth, Ulfric demanded that he be able to worship Talos freely within the city, a violation of the Platinum Pact. As the situation on the streets grew worse

The situation became more and more chaotic, and the Empire had to agree to Ulfric's request before the situation in the city completely got out of control. This incident was called the "Markarth Incident" and was one of the triggers of the civil war.

After the war, Igmund took over his father's position and became the new lord of Markarth, continuing to fight against the Forsworn across Reach. In order to fulfill the "Platinum Agreement", and of course to "kill the donkey", he resolutely arrested

Ulfric and his forces, believing it to be in Skyrim's best interests. When the civil war in Skyrim broke out, Lord Yggmund and his court also leaned more towards the Empire, and the Imperial Legion Commander in Reach

It's Legate Emmanual Admand.

"Is there any evidence for this matter?" The housekeeper asked hurriedly as the matter was of great importance.
