Section 113 The Battle of Protection

On the square outside the palace, the crowds of people who came from all over the world gradually gathered more and more. www.biquge.info Even if the subjects try to keep quiet as much as possible, with so many people gathering together, it is inevitable that there will be a noisy situation.

Behind the soldiers standing on either side of the palace steps, in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the few rays of morning light in the sky, the noise caused a small commotion, but was quickly suppressed by the presence of the platform above the steps.

Because there were too many people to watch the ceremony today, the crowd took the initiative to extinguish the torches in their hands after entering the square, so that as ordinary people, they could not notice more details in the darkness around them, and could only look forward to it in the square.

After almost all the people outside the square entered, the fiery red morning sun seemed to stretch its waist and burst out of the clouds on the horizon.

When the warm light, which represented the newborn, descended from the top of the crystal tower of the palace and finally shone to the highest level of the stairs, the waiting trumpeters sounded the huge horn of the longhorn again as if they had been commanded, and the low sound of the horn echoed between heaven and earth again.

'Woo, woo, woo'

Compared to the length of the gathering of subjects, the second trumpet in the morning light is shorter and more powerful.

With the sound of the trumpet announcing the official start of the Ice Empress's enthronement ceremony, the beautiful birds standing behind the soldiers on the steps finally waited for the amnesty.

'Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang ......'

When the pressure that constrained them disappeared, all the birds couldn't wait to spread their wings and fly into the sky.

All of a sudden, on the steps of Ash's palace, it was like a portal to the Holy Land had opened, and countless white falcons, wheat ear birds, white owls, white-tailed thunderbirds, larks, white-tailed harriers, etc., all kinds of migratory birds who chose to come to Freljord to spend the summer almost completely obscured the sky of the Ice Tribe!

The Ice Crystal Phoenix is also a phoenix, whether he is the eternal guardian of the Northland Ice Field, or his status as the king of birds, it is easy to mobilize these birds on the ice field.

Later, the flock of birds, which had temporarily obscured the sky, scrambled to fly up from the steps, gradually widening the gap as each bird flew at different speeds.

The glow of the clouds, like ten thousand golden arrows, was finally able to penetrate the flock of birds, and once again cast it in the eyes of the subjects of the Ice Tribe, and everyone was stunned by this dazzling scene.

Whether it was a more well-informed elder or an ordinary citizen, no one had ever seen such a scene in nature, and even the spies from other places mixed in the crowd, everyone had only one thought in their hearts at the moment: destiny returned!

Somewhere down the stairs, Ash, who was heavily protected by the guards, looked up at the dazzling vision, and felt a strong confidence surging in her heart, and the former Ice Princess clenched her fists, and now her belief in bringing unity to Freljord was even stronger.

'Woo~~~~~~'

There was another long and deep trumpet sound, which drew everyone's minds back to the palace square like a conjuring spirit, and the sound of the guards' neat footsteps was heard under the steps before the golden arrow light reached the passage.

Everyone held their breath and cast their eager gaze on the ranks of the guards. The new Freljord Empress Ash. Her Majesty of Ice is among them, and all the people of the Ice Plains will eventually rally around her, for this is the destiny of Heaven.

The guards marched to the bottom of the palace steps in unison, and then they all stopped, and the strict formation moved to both sides, and finally Ash appeared in the middle of the line, carrying the 'Bow of Avarossa'.

Her age was no longer an obstacle to ascending the throne, and Ash's heart was already filled with the belief of unity, and she looked up at the inconspicuous figure in the dawn at the platform of the intermediate steps, adjusted her breathing slightly, and took a firm step up the steps.

As Ash took a few steps upward, the golden arrow-like glow finally moved down to the platform, and once again solidified the breath of the crowd.

Except for a few elders and generals, the rest of the Ice Tribe saw this legendary guardian of the ice field for the first time, the 'Ice Crystal Phoenix' Avinia!

At the foot of the stairs was the former Captain of the Border Guard, Captain Rod, who was in charge of the Empress's Guard, looking at Ash's back with almost adoring eyes, a girl who had conquered most of the people of the Ice Plains with her unique charm and unchanging faith, and he was glad that he had made a choice that was in line with his heart in that difficult moment.

Walking up the stairs, Ash's back and the glow staggered across the steps, and her determined figure was finally visible to all who were watching the ceremony.

The long staircase that looked like a holy place in the glow of the sun finally came to an end, and Ash and Avinia, standing on the platform, looked at each other, and the phoenix, who guarded the ice field, nodded lightly to the girl.

A few steps forward, Ash came to the 'Ice Crystal Phoenix' standing in the middle of the platform, the morning light and the bright purple queen robes complemented each other, and the girl's silver hair was beautifully blue blue.

Avinia looked approvingly at the calm girl in front of her, who was extremely satisfied with his allies in this life, and stood on the platform, Avinia's voice resounded throughout the square: "I am the wrath of the blizzard, the devouring of the cold wind, and the cold of the extreme ice. I am Freljord. My name is Anivia. Ash. Han Bing, are you willing to work with me to protect Freljord and become the guardian of Freljord at all costs? ”

This is also Ash's heart, in the face of this problem, she did not hesitate to make a promise: "I am willing to protect Freljord with all my life, and even the end of my life cannot stop my belief in protecting Freljord!" ”

Ash bent down in front of the tall 'Ice Crystal Phoenix' in his manifest form, placed his right hand into a fist over his heart, and made a stronger oath to Avinia.

Quietly staring at the pure-minded Ash, Avinia seemed to fall into some kind of memory, as if the woman who had completed the unification of Freljord appeared in front of her.

After a moment, Avinia put aside the clutter in her mind, controlled the ice crystal feathers on the tips of her wings, and gently raised the emerald crown that was placed on the crystal tower beside her, representing the supreme power of Freljord, and said in a deep voice, "This is the choice of fate, and it is also your responsibility. ”

When Ash heard this, she straightened up and let the Ice Phoenix place the emerald crown on top of her head.

Having completed the crown, Avinia no longer maintained his massive body, slowly shrinking himself and retreating to the side of the platform to make way for the steps to continue upward.

Then came Ash's moment of glory alone, and with her bow in hand, she continued to climb the stairs to the top platform of the palace steps.

For this last stretch of the journey, the trumpeters with the horns of the horns split into two teams, and kept their queen accompanied by the low sound of their horns. Ash marched with her back to the golden and red morning sun, and the uninterrupted sound of the horn accompanied her to the highest platform like countless soldiers following her.

The trumpeters abruptly stopped the trumpets and retreated to the sides in an orderly manner, leaving Ash alone on the highest platform.

Turning around and raising the 'Bow of Avarossa' in his hand, detonating the cheers of the subjects in the square, Ash, who felt the magic surging all over his body, involuntarily put on the bowstring with his left hand.

In an instant, the 'Bow of Avarosa' automatically drew the magic power from Ash's body as if it had come to life, and because of the surge of cold power, a whirlwind of air currents was formed in the air. At this moment, Ash suddenly understood something, and his left foot retreated to form a lunge, and his powerful right arm turned to the side while his left hand pulled the bowstring harder.

Standing on the highest step, her every move touched the hearts of all her subjects and soldiers, and the people stopped cheering for a moment, and once again looked up with bated breath and anticipation.

Under everyone's gaze, the magic power on the 'Bow of Avarosa' was finally mobilized, and with the light release of Ash's left finger, a huge magical ice crystal arrow **** came out from the ancient and atmospheric bow!

The 'Magic Crystal Arrow', which was sideways shot by Ash to the distant peak, exploded on the mountain with a bang after a short flight.

The terrible destruction caused by the huge ice crystal arrows shook even the bright red clouds around them that were reflected in the glow, and gradually drifted away under the gentle blowing of the morning wind......

"Long live my emperor."

The smaller 'Ice Crystal Phoenix' Avinia was the first to bow her head and bend down to salute Freljord's new emperor.

"Long live my emperor!"

Rod, the captain of the Empress's Guard, who had been standing at the bottom of the steps, was the second to respond, and he threw himself down on one knee in excitement and shouted hooray.

Under his influence, the guards around him all knelt on one knee and cheered: "Long live my emperor!" ”

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live Freljord!!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Empress, long live !!"

In the entire palace square, for a while, it was like a stone thrown into the lake, kneeling on the ground and chanting long live the sound of expanding outward layer by layer......

……

In the polluted and twisted city of Zu'an, in the open space used to store sundries at the foot of the mountain in the eastern part of the slums, hundreds of young men and girls have been clearly divided into two factions, inviting them to stand or sit with their companions and friends who support the field.

Ike, yawning, leaned lazily against the corner of an abandoned dilapidated house in his unique posture, listening to his friends advertising for their 'rampaging group'.

Although this group sounds low, to be honest, Ike doesn't care about it.

He is an orphan, and the hardships of survival since childhood have made Ike a little daunted by the feeling of loneliness. Fortunately, there are not a few children like him in Zaun, and since Ike joined a group of big boys called Apo, he finally said goodbye to loneliness for a while.

Po was the eldest of them all, and he took great care of all the little brothers, and together they went out into the streets to steal or find some other way to keep all the children alive.

And Ike, who once lived in Piltover and struggled to survive there for several years, has learned some skills with his superhuman understanding. So after joining Po's group, Ike, who likes to rummage around and collect sabotage devices, makes good use of the skills he learned from Piltover and makes a lot of useful gadgets that can be sold to improve the living standards of the people and help them when they are in danger.

It's a pity that the peaceful life will eventually be interrupted, and Apo, who takes care of everyone, has some trouble.

And it's a big trouble, and Awa, who is still a minor, can't solve it, and the other children in the group can't solve it.

All the companions were at a loss, and Awa, unwilling to drag the other children down, left their hut at night, ready to face it alone.

The next morning, Ike returned to their home after rummaging through the night and harvesting a piece of the discarded 'Hex Crystal Device', and learned about Po's troubles from the other children.

Panicked, Ike hurried out with the 'Hex Crystal Device' he had just picked up, as well as the huge hour hand of the clock tower, which he usually used as a protective weapon, and followed the trail of Apo's departure.

However, Ike appeared too late, and when he found Po, he could only see Po's cold body lying on the ground.

Every, who had never imagined this scene, curls and falls to the ground to cry, but he finds that he has more important things to do, which is to find out who killed Apo and avenge him.

Ike sat beside the cold Apo, and with the help of a large amount of adrenal hormones, he took out the tools he had with him, the 'Hex Crystal Device' he had just picked up, and the clock tower hour hand as a talisman weapon, and began to try to combine the multi-dimensional probability knowledge in his brain with the materials at hand.

Finally, before his mind was completely dizzy, Ike completed what he called the 'Z-drive' time-altering device, which allowed him to prevent the incident before Awa was killed.

Ike, who then completed the 'Z-drive', went crazy trying to regain time, but he was greeted with failure after failure.

But Ike didn't give up, he continued to improve the 'Z-drive', and he also tried to adjust the chasing strategy. Under his unremitting attempts, he finally approached the time when Po was killed, and Ike, who learned everything from Po's last words, successfully returned and killed Apo's murderer.

But the manpower is sometimes exhausted, and Ike can't save Po no matter how much he tries.

In the end, he had no choice but to bring Awa's cold body back to the hut and bury Awa in the open space behind the house with the others.

So Ike, who has a 'Z-drive', takes over the burden of Apo and takes on the responsibility of taking care of other helpless children.

Gradually, Ike is more capable and leads the children to a better life, but he has once felt the loss of a 'loved one', and vows to protect these companions who are like family at all costs.

Now it is another group of teenagers who are very influential in the slums, because of the conflict with them because of the turf dispute, and in the past, any organization that heard of the name of the 'Time Assassin' would back down by three points.

But this time, the Storm Gang seems to have the support of amazing people, and they actually dare to give a war letter to Ike.

Raising his hand to look at the time, it was five minutes later than the agreed time, and the person supporting him on the other side had not yet appeared, and a few companions who had a good relationship with Ike began to make noise with each other.

Except for Ike, who cares about protecting his companions, he doesn't care about the loss of time, he calls back his companions and says to them, "Time is not about how much you have, but how you use it. ”

Ike's companions are very convinced, usually Ike appears, and it only takes a few seconds to solve something that others would take a day or even longer to solve, so no matter how much the other party wants to delay time, once he appears here, then there is only a short time left for him.

The nervous Storm Gang waited for a long time, and finally waited for the figure of anticipation.

Jana, who was late, dressed in a simple denim outfit, apologized to her partners apologetically: "Sorry for being late, partners, my mentor has been very busy lately, and I can't take a leave of absence." Fortunately, I went with the wind and there was no obstacle along the road. ”

"Ha, that's great, Jana! You're finally here, yay. Let's go give them a little color and see! ”
