In addition to Ino and Team 11, Shyvana and Ivar were also sent to Mithril City.
Of course, these two dragons were not there to transport things. Two dragons alone could not transport much. The main reason why they were sent was to find out about the war in Freljord.
Although the Dragon Bird Knight brought back the news that "barbarians in the north are gathering", the specific scale and goal of the gathering are not known.
There is no way, under the breath of Anivia, it is difficult for even a dragon bird with dragon blood to fly in the Freljord for a long time, and the dragon bird knight on the dragon bird's back is even more easily killed.
Frostbite, so even with the help of the air force, the information that the Second Northern Legion in Mithril City can find is limited.
But Shyvana and Ivar are different.
As elemental dragons (Ivar is still a frost elemental dragon), they are naturally more adaptable to the environment of Freljord, so they can carry out large-scale reconnaissance with Mithril City as the center to find out about Freljord.
information.
The elemental dragon can go to places that the dragon and bird knight cannot go, and the elemental dragon can find out information that the dragon and bird knight cannot find out. The gap between the elemental dragon and the dragonborn is huge!
Although there is a high probability that Mithral City will not believe the news brought back by Shyvana and Ivar, and will still go all out to strengthen their vigilance, the gathering of Freljord barbarians can help Lux confirm that Forsbarrow
What preparations need to be made for the next step.
If it is confirmed that the Freljordians are about to go south, then the work of digging the artificial lake may have to be suspended, and all the mages will begin combat training!
In this way, after some simple discussions, Ino took the 11th group, led directly by Shyvana and Iva, and set off in the dark that night, heading straight for Mithril City.
……………………
There is nothing wrong with the news brought back by the Dragon Bird Knight.
To the north of Mithral City, on the Sanjigra Plain across the Dragonspine Mountains from Mithril City, there is indeed a Freljord army gathering.
Moreover, it is a large army, a huge army that is enough to make any country or force need to be extremely cautious after getting the news.
Because this army comes from Winter's Claw.
As one of the largest tribes in the Freljord, the Winter's Claw has always been known for its tolerance - whether you are a shaman, a spirit walker, an ice bloodline or a storm bloodline, only you have the strength and will to
Fight for Winter's Claw, and Sejuani welcomes you to join her.
So, when Sejuani set up a flag representing the gathering here, when the news that the Winter's Claw was going to gather in the Sanjigra Plains spread throughout the Freljord Plains in Breath of Anivia
At that time, all kinds of warriors took action after hearing the news.
The tribes of the Freljord have always been close-knit and loose-knit. The tightness lies in the fact that everyone in the tribe is regarded as brothers and sisters and must obey the orders of the War Mother. The looseness lies in the fact that they usually do not act in unison.
Even when it comes to plundering and fighting, everyone has always fought on their own. Even Sejuani only has a few elite members following her in normal operations.
This wonderful unity of contradictions would likely cause chaos and internal divisions elsewhere, but in Freljord, the raiders of Winter's Claws who acted independently used this method to unite Winter's Claws.
Claw's hunting ground expanded from the corner of Ornkar to all parts of the Freljord Plains today.
As long as Sejuani gives an order, the Winter's Claw warriors who usually raid and develop everywhere will complete their assembly in a short time, and then follow the War Mother's instructions without hesitation and rush towards any enemy, such as the terrifying
Like a torrent, it drowns the opponent!
Using tactics like a pack of wolves hunting, the Winter's Claws defeated the difficult Ice Sons, drove away the cowardly Ibratar, and defeated the powerful Dolislakan. Wherever the Winter's Claws flag went,
, even the Northern Army of Noxus can only act cautiously and besieged Fort Diver - even a few years ago, the current commander of the Noxian rebels, Darius, was killed by the Claws of Winter.
captured by the plundering group!
The northern foothills of the Dragon's Back Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are full of hunting grounds for Winter's Claws. Sejuani, who has united all the fighting forces, can easily mobilize a terrifying army.
If it weren't for the fact that the Dragonspine Mountains are too dangerous and the fortresses in the northern border of Demacia and Noxus are too strong, Sejuani and her warriors must let the warm-blooded people in the south know what the Winter General is.
to!
Outside the temporary camp, Sejuani rode the Juvask boar she named Steelmane, patiently waiting for her loyal warriors under a high banner.
From a rational point of view, issuing a call-in order in winter is not a good choice.
However, even after returning from Ionia, Udyr, who is very influential in the tribe, has always opposed it, and Sejuani still chose to gather warriors at this time.
She acted so insistently not because she was rebellious and no longer wanted to listen to her sworn father, but because Sejuani had received news from Freyna, and Mother Scar had found a loophole in the Avarosans' defense system!
After confirming the accuracy of the news, Sejuani couldn't wait to meet her old friend Ashe.
The horn sounded, and the wind and snow stopped for a while.
Sejuani saw two teams coming from different directions from a distance, and then gathered together - just like when she was a child, Avarosa and Winter's Claw were just small tribes. At that time, every summer
, every time they make a pilgrimage to Ornkar Rock, the teams of Avarosa and Winter's Claw will meet together like this.
Sejuani was the Ashe she first met at that time.
After meeting her new peers, Sejuani, who was already "invincible" in the tribe, stood up and challenged Ashe in a "Freljordian" manner - she heard her grandmother say
However, Ashe's mother Glenna once defeated her own mother Kojia.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two little girls with endless potential could not afford the ultimate ice weapon at that time, so they fought with wooden swords, but the result was evenly matched.
Sejuani, who failed to win, not only admired Ashe because "your mother is very strong", but also had a rare recognition. Although she couldn't explain why, Sejuani always felt that she was very comfortable with Ashe.
, very comfortable. From that time on, a desire to "let Ashe join the Winter's Claw" quietly took root in Sejuani's heart.
Happiness always comes suddenly. When she was sixteen years old, Sejuani met Ashe here, and then, from Ashe's mouth, she heard a piece of bad news: Glenna had been betrayed, Avarosa
The tribe is gone.
While comforting Ashe, Sejuani brought her back to her tribe, vouched for her to join, and swore a companionship oath with her. Sejuani thought that she would realize her ideals at that time,
But they never expected that the two of them would part ways because of a group of strangers.
Even to this day, Sejuani still can't understand Ashe's stupid choice. In her opinion, when winter comes and food is in short supply, she wants to eliminate the tribes that share the hunting ground with her so that more warriors of Winter's Claw can survive.
Come down, this is completely a matter of course - although the other party also has a covenant with itself, it was signed by the Frost Guard priests and should have been torn up.
As a result, when the raging flames burned, Ashe foolishly stood up and wanted to save those weak and stupid people...
Yes, the strong should do the impossible, but equally, the weak and stupid are not worth saving.
That time, Sejuani relented, and she finally let Ashe go, allowing those weak people who should have died in the flames to become her victims, and let them leave Kuchar.
Since then, Sejuani has completely hardened her heart. After awakening her ice bloodline and picking up the ultimate ice weapon, she defeated her mother Kojia in a duel and became the leader of the Winter's Claw.
The new generation of war mothers completely expelled the gesticulating Frost Guard priests in the tribe, absorbed all available power, and began their own journey of conquest.
What she didn't expect was that Ashe led those weak guys to leave the most competitive hunting ground and ran to the West Freljord subcontinent, and actually started a brand new Avarosa.
Unlike the respectable Glenna, Ashe went against the ancient traditions of the Freljord people and began to build cities, accept merchants, and even trade with warm-blooded people!
Such blasphemous behavior made Sejuani completely give up on this former friend. She no longer hoped that Ashe would change her mind. She only hoped to lead the Winter's Claw to destroy everything in Avarosa and tell Ashe the truth.
In the Freljord, toughness is the way to survive, and looting is the key to prosperity!
If you are used to trading and relying on furnace households for production, you will only become less and less courageous, and eventually you will become a harmless snow rabbit and become the food of ice wolves!
However, what Sejuani did not expect was that the weak Avarosan people actually relied on the city walls and projectile weapons to cause a lot of trouble to the marauders under their command.
What makes her even more incomprehensible is that the Avarosans always seem to be able to guess their own movements. Every time they assemble an army and try to capture the city of Avarosa, the other party can always withdraw before the siege.
Take away all the supplies in the city, and even burn those that cannot be taken away.
As a result, Sejuani tried to raise troops to Luo several times and argued her interests, but Ashe would always avoid fighting and stand firm to clear the country.
Unable to give up the hunting grounds of the Freljord Plains, Sejuani was unable to spend a long time in the Western Freljord subcontinent and Ashe. Several western expeditions failed, and Sejuani did not have much hope in Avarosa.
A good idea would be to send out a small group of raiders to cause some trouble to the Avarosa people without causing any pain.
But this time, the situation is different.
According to the news sent back by Mother Scar, during their routine raid on Avarosa, they picked up a special warm-blooded person from the south.
This warm-blooded man found the way that the Avarosan people had always avoided being swept away by their own army - it turned out that Ashe had tamed the polar snow eagle and used his aerial vision to find out the reality of each of his own actions.
When we arrived, we encountered a small group of enemies who had occupied the city and defended the city. We encountered a large group of troops who had fortified the walls and cleared the country.
What a cunning method!
Maybe this is also the method she learned from the warm-blooded people in the south?
Hum, this little trick might be able to hide it for a while, but how could it possibly stop the Winter's Claw forever?
It was precisely because of getting this information that Sejuani summoned all the plunderers in the cold winter, regardless of the cost. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly penetrate all the defenses of Avarosa and capture it directly.
Ningshuang Harbor!
According to Ashe's habit, she will definitely hoard a lot of supplies in Frost Harbor. Sejuani must let her understand this time that no matter how much supplies the weak hoard, they are only for the strong.
Unknowingly, the snow began to fall again.
In order to boost morale, Sejuani ordered all the spirits stored in Winter's Claw to be taken out, allowing the warriors to drink to their heart's content before the official departure!
More and more soldiers gathered, and the atmosphere in the camp gradually became warmer.
The drunken warriors began to dislike each other. Although the same tribe could not fight with each other because of drinking, this did not prevent them from wrestling with each other, wrestling, and even punching each other, beating those who were unhappy with them.
In addition to the conflicts caused by drunken "What are you looking at" and "Where are you looking at", many battles also have obvious performance meaning-many young warriors take the initiative to challenge those who have long been famous.
After winning, he will look at Sejuani immediately.
They are showing their strength, hoping to become Sejuani's guests and become her blood alliance.
However, it is a pity that these warriors' wishes are probably doomed to come true.
Sejuani needs a blood pact and doesn't mind uniting the warriors of the tribe through a blood pact.
But at least this winter, she does not plan to accept the blood alliance - she does not want to get pregnant, especially not at this time. The conquest of Avarosa will be a long battle, and she does not want to change herself due to pregnancy and childbirth.
Got to be weak.
So, facing the powerful warriors bursting with hormones, she just shook her head, looked away, and looked up at the sky.
Then, Sejuani unexpectedly spotted a looming figure high in the sky.
It looked like a bird, but bigger than any bird Sejuani had ever seen!
Thinking of the news that Fleina had brought to her, Sejuani narrowed her eyes immediately.
"Warriors of Winter's Claw!" she turned her head and said loudly, "Take out your throwing axes and bows - look at the sky, there are the eyes of the Avarosans! Now, prove your bravery
Time is up!"
When the Winter's Claw warriors who had designs on Sejuani heard this, they immediately shouted and picked up a variety of throwing weapons. Some bows and arrows, some swung ziplines, and some took off.
The axes were aimed at the bird in the sky.
The next moment, he was hit by several arrows and had an ax hanging on his body. The bird, which was almost entangled in the noose, struggled crookedly for a few times, quickly changed its direction, and fled in embarrassment toward the south.
Although they failed to shoot it down, the Winter's Claw warriors who saw this scene still cheered and laughed.
Amid laughter, more teams arrived at the assembly area, more bonfires were lit, and the entire Winter's Claw tribe seemed like a hand clenched into a fist, accumulating all its war power.
This time, Sejuani plans to hit hard!
……………………
Three days later, when Ino arrived at Mithril City, she saw signs of unprecedented nervousness.
Not only the regular army of the Second Northern Army, but even the militia, all the young men in Mithril City were mobilized!
Even though the snowflakes were flying, all kinds of defensive equipment were still placed on the city wall. Not only that, crossbows and stone bullets were also stacked on the city wall and placed in an area ready for use, which was a complete battle readiness posture.
Many wooden lookout towers were temporarily erected on the city wall. The soldiers on them were all looking far into the distance, their spirits tense, as if the enemy would attack at the next moment, and there would be a terrifying battle!
It is not that Ino, who grew up in Mithral City, has never encountered the southward raids of the Freljords, but in the past, even when a small group of barbarians came to the city, Mithril City never seemed so nervous!
On the broad city wall, patrolling soldiers were patrolling one after another. When Ino and the 11th group of mages came to the outside of the city, dozens of fully armed warriors instantly appeared behind the crenellations.
It’s completely the standard for level one alert!
What exactly is going on?
Just when Ino was confused, a person on the city wall recognized her.
"Ino, is that you?"
Ino blinked, and after a moment he finally recognized the identity of the person who spoke, and nodded decisively.
"That's right, brother, it's me - I came here on Count Laxana's order to deliver a batch of grain."
The soldiers on the city wall seemed to relax a little. After a while, the city gate finally opened. Ino's brother came down with a team of shield guards to receive Ino's identity certificate.
After giving out his identity certificate and waiting for the follow-up inspection and notification, Ino asked his brother a little strangely why Mithril City was so prepared.
Then, she heard shocking news.
"There is a high probability that the Freljord's barbarians will go south... Just this morning, a few days ago, while the wind and snow were a little light, the Dragon Bird Knight who entered the Freljord for reconnaissance came back." Ino's brother
He whispered, "He was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. The dragon bird was seriously injured and died not long after landing. This was the first time that the Freljord barbarians attacked the dragon bird knight. What will happen next?"
I'm afraid there will be a bloody battle in Mithril City."
After hearing the news, Ino finally opened his eyes in shock.
"Moreover, I'm afraid this matter not only involves Mithril City." Her brother added, "Forsbarrow's side must also be more careful. You must remind Count Laxana - according to the Dragon Bird Knight risking death,
The news I brought back is that this time there are more than a hundred bonfires at the Freljord barbarian gathering place!"
"Are all the barbarians in Freljord crazy?" Ino shook his head and asked, "Or do they have some special weapons and dare to go south to attack the northern defense line?"
"I don't know about that." Her brother shook his head, "The General will probably meet you later. You can ask him about the specific situation. It is related to the northern defense line. This information must be provided to all the lords and the Northern Territory."
