Darkness poured into the tent from the entrance of the tent, and a wizened ghost hand grabbed the curtain, and then a distorted face threw a terrifying ghast smile at Ash and the others inside.

"Yes...... It's the undead, the undead of the Shadow Isle are really here, run! ”

A certain Alvarosa general, who had never seen an undead before, was suddenly frightened and turned pale with fright, completely losing the bravery he had when he fought against the Claws of Winter.

His emotional out-of-control wail also set off a wave of panic in the entire camp army. Before he could even try to resist, he shook the morale of Alvarossa's camp here.

Immediately afterward, the incessant human wails and the frantic flight of the human beings sounded outside the tent.

An arrow shot at the terrifying undead lying at the mouth of the tent, Ash looked at all the soldiers in the tent with her gloomy cheeks: "Calm me down, quickly gather your soldiers, and evacuate here with as few casualties as possible!"

Ash's reprimand woke everyone in the tent, and when they saw Ash shoot the undead, they felt a little less terrified.

"Yes!"

The generals in the tent, though still a little afraid of the undead they had never faced, quickly left the command tent with Ash's encouragement to calm the morale of the Alvarossa soldiers in the camp outside.

Seeing them regain their strength and leave the tent, Ash's gloomy face did not disappear, for she feared that Sejuani's Winter Claws would take the opportunity to deal them a heavy blow.

It's impossible for Avarossa's frontline troops to face the armies of Winterclaw and Shadow Isle at the same time!

And what worries her even more is whether her people who have stayed behind will be able to escape this crisis? Except for a small number of combat-capable soldiers, most of them were unarmed civilians, and if her people were gone, what was the point of unifying Freljord?

Thinking about it, Ash was getting more and more distraught. Even so, she broke out of the tent and joined her generals to help her soldiers evacuate to relative safety.

While directing the generals and soldiers to evacuate with her, Ash pondered in her mind how she could get out of this crisis.

For some reason, Ash recalls being hunted down by a traitor of her own clan when she was fifteen.

At that time, on the way to escape from the pursuit, she met a witch who could be said to change the trajectory of her life.

She vaguely remembered that day, in a panic, she asked for help from the only witch who could ask for help: "Shrine maiden, I am being hunted down now, can you help me?"

The shrine maiden replied to her, "Son, if you can find the legendary Avarosa Ancient Ice Bow, maybe you can get out of this crisis......"

Although the shrine maiden did not tell her where the icicle was, she eventually found the ancient icicle on the way to escape, and used the power of the icidal to reverse the situation of being chased by the thieves.

But this time, will she meet the shrine maiden who guided her again?

Thinking of this, Ash hurriedly shook her head, she couldn't put her hope in the witch she met by chance now, she should come up with her own countermeasures!

Maybe...... Can she try to negotiate with Winterclaw? After all, the crisis of the undead threatens not only her people, but also the whole of Freljord, and I believe Sejuani should be well aware of this.

But...... She had deliberately upset Sejuani when she asked for a truce, would she accede to her request this time?

Ash still had some knowledge of Sejuani's character, and after a while she vetoed the plan.

At the moment, it seems that the most effective way to get out of the crisis is to free the soldiers from the entanglement of the undead, and avoid the Winterclaws that are heading towards her, so as to ensure that she and her soldiers can evacuate more effectively to safety.

When she is out of danger for the time being, she will think about what she should do next!

With a decision in his heart, Ash's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to evacuate in the northwest direction.

In order to gain time, she also picked up her ancient ice bow and jumped on top of a certain tent.

Taking advantage of this geographical advantage of ice and snow, the ice crystals of Polar Ice Magic quickly condensed in Ash's right palm.

In a few moments, a magical ice arrow condensed and formed in the palm of her hand, growing wildly at a visible rate.

Before the ice arrow could grow to the point where she could no longer hold it, Ash unleashed the magic ice arrow.

With her release, the ice arrow flew into the hordes of undead, and the body of the arrow continued to grow.

The moment the huge ice arrow hit an undead spirit that rushed to the front, it burst out with a freezing extremely cold light, and instantly spread out in all directions.

The frenzied polar ice magic also exploded, instantly strangling a group of undead at the forefront. But that's not all, the blast of energy caused by the magic ice arrow is still spreading to the rear of the undead army, freezing the undead who have not been strangled in place at a terrifying speed, and the cold continues to eat away at the undead's body.

Succeeded in slowing down the march of the entire army of the undead, but Ash also paid a terrible price for it. Her eyes flowed with uncontrollable blood and tears from the overuse of the power of the Avarosa Ice Bow, and her body couldn't withstand the erosion of the cold, and she kept trembling.

"Come with me, head northwest, there's a very hidden cave nearby, let's go there and hide first!" Fighting through the pain, Ash continued to direct her soldiers to retreat in a northwesterly direction.

The soldiers were all shocked by this scene when they saw Ash's eyes flowing with blood and tears, and they were very worried about Ash's physical condition whether he could continue to walk. However, thinking that the undead in the rear were only temporarily slowed down by Ash, they still did not dare to stay here and fled in the northwest direction with Ash.

Ash and her soldiers looked back from time to time to see if the undead in the rear were chasing after them as they fled, and they were relieved until the frozen undead disappeared from their field of view for a long time.

However, Ash did not completely let her guard down, and still resisted the side effects of overusing the ice bow to lead her soldiers towards the hidden cave she remembered.

But at this moment, Ash faintly heard the angry roar of humans and the sound of iron hooves of the beasts of the ice field from the noisy cold wind.

Sejuani! As the uneasy speculation in his heart rang out, Ash looked in the direction from which the voice came.

As far as she could see, the warriors of Sejuani and Winterclaw were riding various ice beasts in their direction. Seeing Sejuani's large army menacing, Ash's heart was half cold.

Leading a large army to intercept the remnants of Avarosa led by Ash, Sejuani's grim face rose to a fierce look.

"Ash, it's time to pay for what you've done before!"
