Chapter 446 Companions and Giants (First Update)

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Li Chuan raised his hands and unleashed two bolts of lightning, turning several wild wolves that jumped out from the roadside into charred remains. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of amazement.

"This wilderness in the sky is really not safe at all. No wonder Gordo didn't dare to ask the villagers for help."

On his journey from Riverwood to Whiterun, he had already encountered two wolf attacks and one rat attack.

This was during the day; if it were nighttime, Camilla said there was a chance of encountering vampires, werewolves, and necromancers who liked to capture people for human experimentation.

However, this might be because he was traveling alone; if there were more people, it would probably be much safer.

"We should be there soon."

Seeing a high slope leading to the left ahead, Li Chuan knew that he was not far from Baiman City.

According to Camilla, if you just keep walking along the White River until you reach a high slope and turn left, you will see the beautiful city of Whiterun.

The White River is the small river that passes through Riverwood. It flows from the beautiful Lake Ilintana that Li Chuan saw earlier, passes through Riverwood, flows towards Whiterun, and continues downstream until it finally enters the Ghost Sea to the north of the sky.

Sure enough, after Li Chuan turned the corner of the hill, the scenery suddenly opened up before him.

If the area he was in before was a mountainous region, then what lay ahead was a plain, with vast grasslands and farmlands, and a huge city faintly visible in the distance.

That city was clearly Whiterun, the city he was heading to.

He learned a little about the story of Whiterun yesterday when he chatted with Camilla at the hotel.

The city of Whiterun was founded primarily by the Companions, the most powerful mercenary organization in Skyrim.

Legend has it that Ik the Riverman, a pioneer of the Companions, led his fleet to Skyrim and discovered the Sky Forge, built from an inextinguishable fire formed by a meteorite impact, on the Whiterun plains.

This led to the establishment of the Companions' first base in Skyrim, Mooncastle, around the Skyforge. As more and more people gathered, it eventually became the prototype of Whiterun.

However, at that time Whiterun could not be considered a city, because it had no lord and was just a settlement.

The person who truly made Whiterun a city that rivaled any other was the legendary Nord hero, Olaf the One-Eyed.

Legend has it that he defeated the dragon Nurminath, which ravaged the skies, with his terrifying roar, and was revered by all the people of Whiterun as the first Lord of Whiterun.

The towering Dragonbridge where the Lord of Whiterun now resides was originally the cage Olaf used to imprison the dragon Nymenethkos. It is said that if one is qualified to enter, one can see Nymenethkos's remains hanging there.

Olaf, the one-eyed king, became the High King of Skyrim, ending the war for the throne, thanks to his fame for slaying dragons.

For more specific details, Camilla suggested that Li Chuan go to the trading post in Whiterun and buy a book called "Olaf and the Dragon," which contains detailed information.

Upon seeing Whiterun, Li Chuan quickened his pace.

However, he hadn't gone far when he saw a small squad of soldiers in imperial armor. The imperial soldiers were escorting prisoners, and they immediately became wary when they saw Li Chuan appear.

Li Chuan had no choice but to slow down and wait for the imperial soldiers to head down another side road before continuing on his way.

"Freid!"

Reach out and pick up a stone from the roadside, then cast a transformation spell on it.

Soon, the stone transformed into a strong black horse and appeared before Li Chuan.

He covered a three-day journey in half a day. If the Lord of Whiterun asks about it, it will be hard to explain. In addition, there will be more and more people soon, and if he walks too fast, it will seem too frightening.

Therefore, riding a horse is more appropriate.

"drive!"

With a loud shout, the black horse immediately galloped off towards Whiterun.

As the magnificent city of Whiterun drew closer, the number of pedestrians on the roadside began to increase.

Caravans carrying goods to Whiterun for trade, adventurers and mercenaries coming to make money, and farmers and workers from nearby farms and breweries came into his view one after another.

Of course, there were also squads of Whiterun guards dressed in armor and carrying shields painted with white horses.

They patrolled the area to maintain order and protect the safety of the people of Whiterun.

"boom!"

Just as Li Chuan was passing by a farm, a huge sound suddenly came from inside, accompanied by the ground shaking and dust billowing up from the farm.

As the dust settled, a giant wielding a massive club and standing seven or eight meters tall appeared before Li Chuan's eyes.

Giants are a common type of large creature found in the wilderness of Skyrim.

However, as long as you don't actively approach or attack them, or provoke their giant mammoths, they generally won't attack you.

At this point, the giant was clearly in trouble, wielding a club and wreaking havoc on the farm, displaying great anger.

Upon seeing this, pedestrians on the roadside were so frightened that they fled in panic.

Hearing the commotion, the guards in the distance grabbed their weapons and ran quickly toward them.

Before the guards could arrive, an arrow flew from under a large tree near the farm and struck the giant squarely in the chest. The immense force of the arrow made the giant's body tremble.

Before the giant could even pull out the arrow, it suddenly extended a large amount of ice, freezing the giant in place.

But the giant was clearly no pushover either. The ice only froze him for three seconds before he used his superior physical strength and power to break free.

However, before he could make another move, a figure appeared behind him.

It was a strong Nord man, as big as a bear, wearing armor that looked to be of extraordinary material, and holding a giant sword as wide as a door panel in both hands.

He leaped to a height almost equal to the giant's and cleaved the giant's head in a powerful, splitting motion.

The greatsword, made of some unknown material, was exceptionally sharp. Combined with the Nord giant's terrifying strength, it cleaved the giant in two with a single blow, and then burst into flames.

Then, a woman with a lithe figure and carrying a bow and arrows emerged from behind the hidden tree.

"It's Farkas and Ella from the Companions!"

Seeing the giant killed, the passersby curiously returned.

Upon seeing the man and woman who had killed the giant, they all raised their hands and applauded. Even the guards who came forward to inquire about the situation showed some respect.

"Such huge dark circles under your eyes."

Li Chuan, mounted on his horse, glanced at the two mercenaries from the Comrades' Group who were talking to the guards, sighed, and then continued towards the gates of Whiterun.

The two mercenaries from the Allied Forces were quite strong, but they were nothing to Li Chuan at the moment.

He just noticed that the two people had huge dark circles under their eyes, which seemed a bit odd.
