Chapter 34 Negotiations Break Down, Ash's Hole Cards
The Wailing Canyon Abyss of the Polar Ice Field, located in the northeast corner of the Freljord Prairie, is also one of the most dangerous places in the Polar Ice Field, and it is said that the deepest part of the Abyss is sealed with ancient evil spirits, but it also buries the secret treasures of the Freljord Prairie.
Ash scoffed at the secrets circulating on those continents.
As the first in line to the throne of Avarossa, Ash has known many secrets of the grasslands since he was a child, such as the sordid relationship between the ancestor Avarosa and Serrelda, the ancestor of Sejuani.
It was still during the period of the powerful Three Sisters of Ice, and the steppe cavalry of Freljord was crisscrossing the country, so that the entire Valoran continent had to form a strategic alliance to resist the raids of the steppe cavalry.
In the most powerful period of Freljord, the three Ice Sisters unfortunately died, and the three sisters of the Ice Bloodline, Avarosa, Serelda, and their youngest sister Melsandra, had an accident while exploring the ruins of the gods in the abyss of the Wailing Canyon, and the three sisters died in the Wailing Canyon, and since then the Abyss of the Wailing Canyon in the extreme north of the ice field has been listed as a forbidden area.
When Ash went to the War Academy to study, her mentor, Master Ryze, traveled to various dangerous places on the continent, including the Abyss of the Crying Canyon, and Ash consulted Master Ryze for this, but Master Ryze was always silent. It wasn't until the end of Ash's four-year academy career, when she was about to return to the Freljord Prairie after graduating from the War College, that Ruiz told her beloved disciple the secrets of Howling Canyon.
At the bottom of the abyss of the canyon is a huge altar, from the interpretation of some fragmented ancient texts of the altar stele, it can be known that this altar is called the Ice Field Altar, but the specific role of the altar cannot be known because of the damage of the stone tablet and the lack of words, however, Ruiz feels that there is some strange and powerful power hidden in the altar, even with Ruize's strength, it is impossible to enter the altar, this seems to be some kind of seal. Finally, Ryze repeatedly tells Ash not to enter the Crying Canyon until she reaches the level of an epic hero.
Ash verbally promised Master Ryze, but a storm of waves set off in her heart, and her mother, Glenna's last words, came back to mind. Before she died, Glenna gave Ash two non-gold and non-stone sigils, the two sigils were engraved with the names of Avarosa and Melsandro respectively, and Glenna told her daughter Ash that there were three ice bloodlines in the Freeljord grassland, so there were three ice sigils in total, and in addition to these two sigils, there was also a sigil called Serelda, which should be in the hands of the "Serelda" tribe. According to legend, as long as you have three ice sigils, you can unlock the treasures of the gods through ancient ruins hidden somewhere in the Freljord steppe, and gain powerful power to rule the continent.
Once the top of the forbidden Howling Abyss, it is now a magnificent fortress ruled by the Frost City of the Frost Witch Lisandro. When Freljord was invaded by the Void and the entire Valoran continent struggled to survive, Lissandra's Frost City began to stir. When Ash's Avarosa tribe united with the Demacian rebels to launch a war to unify the steppes against Sejuani's Serelda tribe, Lisandro's Frost City also joined the war, and several parties joined forces to destroy Sejuani's tribe and slaughter all the men of the Serelda tribe.
With these three sigils in hand, Ash led the elite of her tribe and the sacrificial group of the Great Shaman into the depths of the Wailing Canyon.
"Queen, they ...... They're out, monsters under the ice ......"
It was a group of snowman-like monsters, with miserable white skin everywhere, crawling up from under the ice with dagger-like claws, their faces were filled with a strange purple light, and their sharp tails were held on the ground, and with a slight wave, a large piece of ice that was harder than steel would be slashed off.....
"Ah......h
.“ Call...... ......Ash woke up suddenly, drenched in cold sweat.
Looking around, this is the interior of the beautifully decorated golden tent, the jade bed under her shakes slightly with the bumps in the road, reaching out and groping for the blue ice crystal hanging around her neck like a crown outfit, the slightest chill is transmitted to the whole body through the palm of her hand, dispelling the original flustered heartbeat in Ash's heart, it has been four or five days since she left the Wailing Canyon, and Ash will be awakened by the nightmare of the day from time to time.
"Where's the convoy?" Ash sat up straight and asked lightly.
One of the maids standing silently outside the tent stepped out, bowed his head to the curtain of the golden tent, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Qiqi, you are already close to the border of the steppe, and it is expected that in more than 40 minutes, you will reach the meeting place agreed with the Demacians." ”
Hearing the silence in the tent for a long time, the female leader hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to have some food first?" ”
"No need. Notify the convoy and speed it up! Ash's flat voice came from inside the tent, and the female officer saluted and retreated from the tent.
On the banks of the Serpentine River, in the camp of Demacia, there were bursts of whipping and screams.
Scott sat in the camp's main tent with his face gloomy and his cheeks crossed, listening to a report from one of his cronies.
"My lord, the two messengers who went to the Avarosa tribe have done a bad job, and they have already followed your orders and received a full 50 lashes, what do you think will happen next?"
"Locked up, if Ash's little lady doesn't come before tomorrow morning, we will return to the royal city, light up the army, and bulldoze the barren land of the grassland, and when the army goes out, we will kill these two waste sacrifice flags by the way!!" Scott replied coldly.
"Yes, yes...... That, that subordinate, retire! The cronie's subordinate replied with a trembling voice, and the ruthless Scott became more and more imposing as a superior, making all his subordinates extremely afraid.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, "Plop!" Someone got down on one knee outside Scott's tent and spoke. Your Excellency! The scouts found a convoy ten kilometers away, and the convoy was dragging a golden tent, looking at the decoration of the team, it should be the group of steppe barbarians. ”
Is it finally here? Scott's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly stood up from his seat.
"You, go and inform Lord Seraphim that the guest has arrived, and I will accompany him to meet him." Scott raised his hand and pointed out of the tent, and the crony next to him quickly nodded yes and turned to leave.
Twenty minutes later, on the banks of the Serpentine River, representatives of the two forces finally met.
Scott and the Archangel Seraphim were representatives of Demacia, and Ash did not show up, but sent two imposing figures, a strong man with a beard and a huge shield, and a big fat man holding a thick log barrel, and the big fat man with a red face who burped a few times from time to time.
"Who are you two? What about Ash? Scott didn't see Ash appear, and the anger that was already hidden in his heart burned faintly.
Bron, who was holding a giant shield, glanced at the skinny Scott from the corner of his eye, snorted disdainfully, and didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Hiccup~~ Who are you kid? Dare to yell at the Queen? If you are not the master who can take care of things, get out of the way......" The big fat man Gugaras shook the big wine barrel in his arms, poured himself a big sip, burped, and replied very disdainfully, two sentences made Scott's angry eyes, but he didn't dare to scold, as Gugaras said, the person who can really take charge is by Scott's side, it is the archangel of the Angel Legion that occupies Silas's body, Lord Seraphim.
After Gugaras said this, his eyes were fixed on Seraphim's body, and Bron, who was on the side, also rubbed the beard on his chin and looked at Seraphim with a puzzled expression.
"Silas, the last time I saw you, it was when you came to our Golden Horde of the Prairie, how long has it been since you saw you, how did you become the representative of the group of birdmen who occupied Demacia? Isn't this what I know you well? Even if you want to surrender, you have to keep your eyes open, where is our Majesty the Queen not as good as those birdmen? ”
Gugaras took another big sip of wine, mercilessly sneering at Silas in front of him.
He didn't know that the Silas in front of him was no longer the original Silas, he was just a human shell that had been fused by Seraphim with an angelic heart.
Seraphim's temper is not good, the city is far inferior to the seven Seraphs, hearing the dead fat man in front of him call his angel army a birdman, his heart suddenly became murderous.
"Whoever slanders my Lord is heresy! You should be purified! ”
Before he could finish speaking, Seraphim's right fist turned into a halo and smashed into Gugaras's chubby face.
The fist shadow was close, and Gugaras was still gulping down, but there was a loud shout from beside him.
"Sneak attack? Shameless!! ”
"Boom!!"
Seraphim felt as if his fist had hit an incomparably hard copper wall, and the rippling frost aura on it quickly dissolved the light power on Seraphim's fist.
Looking closely, Seraphim realized that the man holding the huge shield in front of him was the burly man with a beard and some taciturn.
"Get out of here!" As soon as Seraphim opened his mouth to drink, he felt a huge impact from his side, and in a hurry, Seraphim didn't have time to make any defense, and was knocked into the distance like a cannonball.
Gugaras rubbed his huge round belly, sneered and said, "Being someone else's dog, and having a lot of temper, it's really unclean!" ”
It was Gugaras who had just knocked the Seraphim away, and his face was even redder at the moment, as if the moment of hitting the Seraphim had not helped him consume much alcohol.
Scott once again used his powerful escape skills to protect himself, as soon as the fight started, he had already slipped away from the river, and after returning to the camp, he gathered a group of his personal guards, as well as several accompanying archangels, Scott told them that two disobedient people of the Ash tribe had attacked the archangel of Seraphim, and they were here to fight, not to negotiate, and Scott told everyone to quickly go to the rescue of Lord Seraphim, and then launch an attack on Ash's Golden Horde.
The Angel class is directly under the jurisdiction of the various Angels of Wisdom, and the five accompanying Angels who came to negotiate this time, each of them brought a force angel combat force with a number of more than 500 people, and when they heard that Lord Salaphim, the Archangel of Wisdom, was attacked by someone, they immediately waved four pairs of wings and flew to their respective camps, gathered the angel combat troops, and began to kill in the direction where the Ashkin Horde was located.
Scott's cronies also dispersed, and they went to gather the accompanying soldiers to prepare for war with the steppe barbarians.
Well, you fight, it's too dangerous here, Lao Tzu will withdraw first, I'm not running away, I'm going back to tell the seven adults, this is equivalent to calling for reinforcements for you. Scott secretly pondered in his heart, he has always implemented the principle of a villain who protects himself, considering that there is about to be a fight here, he didn't tell anyone, he sneaked to the back camp, rode a horse, and slipped away.
In the woods on the banks of the Serpentine River, several collapsed huge trees "boomed" and exploded into a pile of sawdust, and a man with white holy light surging out of the dense forest step by step.
Seraphim felt a salty feeling at the corner of his mouth, he raised his right hand and wiped it lightly, a red blood stain appeared on the back of his hand, Seraphim knew that it was blood, and he also knew that this was the manifestation of his human body after being injured.
Seraphim's body slowly rose, and then disappeared into the sky above the dense forest with a "whoosh", a light and shadow drew a white light afterimage in the sky, and the air behind Seraphim was constantly exploding, which was a sonic boom produced by his rapid flight in the air.
In an instant, he returned to the riverside, and he also saw the two steppe people, one strong and one fat, in his vision.
"You, two heretics! Damn it!! Seraphim roared, and his entire body seemed to turn into a meteor and fell towards Gugaras and Bron.
On the other side, five angels and 2,500 power angels fought in a battle group, surrounding the golden horde of the grassland, which was also the royal tent of Ash, the queen of the prairie of Freljord.
The inner circle of the king's tent is a group of handmaidens armed with short knives and all the guards, and the outer circle of the king's tent is a group of steppe warriors armed with strong bows, who have mounted sharp arrows and drawn them into a full moon shape to aim at uninvited guests in the sky, and will attack at the queen's order.
"Alas...... It seems that there is no negotiation...... Alas, then there is no way! I wanted to wait a little longer, save some more time, and I didn't want to be known by other people on the mainland so early......"
After two low sighs, the curtain of the Golden Horde was slowly opened by the two maids, and Ash, dressed in a graceful and luxurious queen's dress, walked out slowly.
The tip of her right finger was rubbing the dark blue crystal crown.
"Little Green, tell the back, and bring all the "Luo" we brought this time. Let them know these wings in the air. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The leader of Ash's maids, the maidservant named Midori, jumped out of the Golden Horde and hurried to the back camp of the Prairie Mission.
There were still groups of carriages, but on each carriage there were two or three curtained cages, numbering in the thousands, and each carriage was guarded by four burly warriors armed with swords and axes, and there seemed to be some terrible creature in the carriage.
"Her Majesty has decreed that all the Pora be brought to the Golden Horde and prepare to attack the Birdmen there!!"
"Order!!"
Escorted by these burly warriors, the carriages drove to the Golden Tent.
