Chapter 7: The Anger That Melts the Ice
In the midst of the war in Ionia, Freljord of the distant Northlands was similarly influenced by the Dark Heroes, a former imprisoned Defender hero who embarks on his quest for revenge. Brand "Vengeful Flame Soul" was one of the first heroes to discover the release of his confinement. Brand is an ancient creature (not exactly a living being) who has personally experienced the Void's invasion of Valoran, which was a terrible war in which humans and yodelers joined forces to fight the Void, and both paid a heavy price. Brand's host at the time was a yodel boy who was not afraid of fire by nature, and he demonstrated the terrifying power of the fire elemental in battle, and relied on this power to help the Valoran coalition win the war. It is no exaggeration to say that without Brand, there would have been no victory in the war. But after the war ended, the humans and the yodelers made an ungrateful move, believing that Brand's power was too dangerous and threatened Valoran's peace. Together with Anivia, the guardian of Freljord, they destroyed Brand and sealed his flame soul in the glacier of Freljord. It wasn't until hundreds of years later that an unlucky pirate appeared, and Brand took possession of him and was free again. He hated the treachery of humanity and the yodelers, and in the name of revenge he planned to destroy the people and the yodelling people. So a few weeks after his release from prison, he attacked the nearest human city-state, Demacia. Although he was the only one who fought alone, with his terrifying energy, he still defeated the Demacian army. People don't know where this monster that manipulates the flames came from, and some even believe that Brand was sent from heaven to destroy them, and they also considered surrendering. While Demacia was squabbling within, Demacia's prince, Gavin IV, returned to Demacia after disappearing for several years. When he learned about Brand, he volunteered to deal with Brand. But almost everyone, including his father, thought he would fail too. But unexpectedly, Gavin managed to defeat Brand and capture him alive. In fact, Gavin also suffered a lot at first, but he recruited a guard during his departure from Demacia, and it was this guard who defeated Brand. She is the "Dragon-blooded Warrior Queen" Shivana who later joined the League of Legends. Brand was taken aback when she met Sylvana, she was the only one of all the people Brand had ever met who was not afraid of Brand's flames, and after being captured alive, Brand reluctantly joined the League of Legends and was placed in mind confinement. He hated this method of imprisonment as much as the other dark heroes, and he was eager for revenge. So after he realized that the confinement had been lifted, he immediately managed to escape from the War College and ran all the way to Freljord. Freljord was a natural prison for Brand, so the first thing he did when he was released was to destroy Freljord.
After a few days of trekking, Brand arrived in Freljord. The current Freljord is ruled by the Avarosa tribe, so Brand plans to start with the Avarosa tribe. Brand is surprised to discover that there is an extinct volcano among the many snow-capped mountains of Freljord, and he intends to awaken this volcano that has been dormant for many years and use it against Alvarossa. After a few days of hard work, Brand melted the snow off the mountain and managed to wake it up one night, so in an earth-shattering volcanic eruption, Brand resumed his quest for revenge.
Brand manipulated fire and lava to attack the Avarosa tribe, and the leader of the tribe, Ash the Ice Shooter, was surprised to see that it was Brand attacking. She stepped forward and asked Brand sharply: "Brand, are you crazy! You've violated the rules of the Alliance, and you're not going to do it! Brand smirked, "What a ridiculous order, I want you to know how terrible the anger I have accumulated for a hundred years is!" With that, Brand waved his hand, and countless flames fell from the sky. Ash's arrows of ice and snow could not withstand the flaming storm. Torrents of devastating flames washed over Freljord's land, melting the snow and setting the trees on fire, turning the snow into flames in the blink of an eye. Avarosa's soldiers were accustomed to fighting in the snow, and the sudden heat wave made it impossible for them to walk. Ash's ice arrow melted before it could hit Brand. Ash was taken aback, and she couldn't help but say to herself, "How is this possible, how can Brand be so powerful?" Ash hurriedly sent Nunu, the "Snowman Knight", to the War College to report the incident, and sent soldiers to ask for help from fellow Defender Hero Tedamir. At the same time, Ash's troops suffered heavy casualties, and Ash had no choice but to order the camp to be evacuated and moved to the deepest part of the ice palace in Freljord. So Brand managed to defeat Ash's army, he wanted to take advantage of the victory, but he learned his previous lesson, he felt that he could not fight alone, so he planned to seek reinforcements, and he wanted to find the help of other dark heroes in the territory of Freljord. So he returned to the volcano and planned to establish a base.
On the same day, Tedamir also met with the soldiers sent by Ash and learned of Brand's attack on Alvarossa. Tedamir was furious, and he immediately led his army to find Brand. Tydamir quickly approached Brand's base. But halfway through, Tedamir bumped into a strange army. This army had no flags, as if out of thin air, and all the soldiers had greatswords in their hands and wings. It is clear that this is not an army of mortals. Tedamir stared cautiously at the team of unknown origins and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you holding us back? A familiar voice sounded: "Hehe, Tedamir, long time no see." Tedamir looked at it and shouted, "It's you, Aatrox." If you sword demon want to fight, wait for me in the righteous place, the alliance prohibits the defender heroes from clashing outside of the righteous land. Aatrox sneered: "In front of you is the ancient 'Darkspawn Legion', I have recovered all my previous strength, and the League of Legends can no longer restrain me." So today is your death, my most powerful work. Before Tedamir could react, Aatrox had already risen into the sky and smashed into Tedamir's team, and the two sides immediately fought each other. Tedamir roared and struck Aatrox. But after all, the soldiers of Tedamir were mortal, and Aatrox was released from his imprisonment. So Tedamir's army was no match at all, and in the end it was defeated, and Aatrox raised his greatsword: "Suffer death!" In the nick of time, a magic crystal arrow struck Aatrox, sending him flying through the air. Ash found Tedamir during the evacuation, and the two went back together. Ash picked up the wounded Tedamir and ordered everyone to retreat to the Ice Palace immediately. Aatrox watched them flee but did not pursue. He sneered and said, "Humble humans, spare your lives first. He looked back at the volcano not far away and ordered, "Turn around and go to that volcano." Now it's time to get down to business. ”
