Personally.. I have to give my vote to the argonians. High immunity to disease and poison. Physically tough in their capacity to take pain and dish it out (with claws and teeth). They have great stamina. They are definitely highly intelligent and have a calm and calculating nature. They are good swimmers and breath under water giving them high advantages in water terrains. Their scales give them a kind of natural camouflage which also gives them a natural edge,
They also are the only Province that forced the Dremora to actually close the oblivion gates and retreat because when the gates opened in Argonia, instead of defending. The Argonians invaded the Oblivion gates and won.
Plus if they wanted to, they could create an entire nation underwater and be impossible to attack while still giving the argonians free reign to attack anyone else
So.. who do you think in Tamriel holds the most power militarily? (At current time in Elder scrolls lore. Fourth Era)
