"All the Freljords are our brothers and sisters, and it is our duty to keep Tedamir and his people safe since they are being attacked by outsiders."

Outside Lakstark, Ash stands like a goddess in front of the warriors of Freljord, from various tribes.

They were all unruly fellows, and many had been defeated by Tydamir and gloated over what had happened to the brute.

But even so, they are willing to obey the orders of Avarosa's reincarnation, the War Mother Ash.

"How long will it take to assemble the tribal warriors?"

Ash asked the warrior beside him in a low voice.

"It will take about an hour...... Do you want to strike urgently? ”

"No, I can feel that the enemy in that direction is very strong, and it would be a waste of the warriors' lives to attack rashly."

Ash looked very composed and composed.

As a leader, she could not sit idly by and watch the attacks on her tribe that had come to her.

But this should not be the case for the reckless putting other tribes in danger.

However, not everyone can be as calm as her.

"Wait another hour, then it'll be too late - I'll go first, at least I'll save my new friends!"

Seeing Bron's impatient appearance, Ash sighed softly helplessly.

"There's no need to rush...... Although I asked the warriors of the other tribes to assemble first and then go out—that doesn't mean I won't strike. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash pulled out a longbow from behind his back, reflecting a faint blue light.

All the warriors of the Alvarossa tribe looked up at Ash with a longbow in awe.

It is a magical Ice Bow with ancient and powerful magical powers, and only Ash, who is believed to be the reincarnation of Avarossa, can use it.

I saw that Ash didn't take the arrow, but just pulled the bowstring empty.

"Where the frost goes, there are our eyes and ears!"

Shout!

When Ash released the bowstring, everyone present seemed to hear a crisp and pleasant roar of an eagle.

Ash's Ice Bow fires not arrows, but a pale blue, translucent Falcon Spirit.

As the beast spirit soared through the sky at breakneck speed, Ash closed her eyes, and she could see in the distance through her connection with the beast spirit.

Soon, the Falcon Spirit she unleashed flew several kilometers and circled over the battlefields of Red and Tedamir.

"Who the hell is this...... No, is this really human? ”

The first thing that amazed Ash was Tedamir.

His body was covered with countless hideous wounds that would have been fatal to ordinary people, and blood covered his entire body, making him look like a blood-red beast.

Ash could feel his eyes almost completely devoid of human consciousness, and only instinctively and furiously got back to his feet again and again, roaring at the enemy in front of him.

However, Ash knew at a glance that the outcome of the battle had already been decided.

The man standing opposite Tydamir, although he didn't seem as muscular as the barbarian, just observing him through the beast spirit made the icy veins in Ash's body feel hot and uneasy.

It's terrifying, if Tydamir is a fire that never goes out.

Then this man is like the sun.

There is such a huge gap between the two.

And just then, the man suddenly turned his head and looked thoughtfully at Ash, in the direction of the Falcon Spirit, to be exact.

Did he find me?

Ash felt like her heart had been caught, and she noticed that the man had the same snow-white hair as her.

It's just that the man narrowed his eyes and turned his head unconcernedly, continuing to deal with Tedamir's unscrupulous charge.

He didn't see the nature of the Falcon Spirit...... Wrong!

Could it be that he deliberately allowed himself to spy on him?

Just as Ash was hesitating whether to take back the beast spirit, she suddenly saw something near the battlefield.

I saw that there were several warriors of the Tedamir tribe, who were sneaking up trying to attack a petite girl and a kitten behind the man.

What they want to do! Stop it!

Ash's heart tightened, she wasn't obsessed with morality, and sneak attacks were a common practice in Freljord's hunts.

She was concerned that the man who had fought with Tedamir didn't seem hostile for the time being, but if someone hurt his woman or pet—

Ash took a deep breath, and she filled the Ice Bow again.

The ice began to coalesce from the slender fingers that she had pulled the bowstring tightly, and in less than a second, a glowing magical arrow wrapped in frost breath landed on the Ice Bow.

Buzz - huh!

Ash's movements were as graceful and swift as his peers, and before the surrounding tribesmen could react, the magic crystal arrow detached from the string and spun forward quickly wrapped in the cold wind, disappearing from everyone's field of vision.

They must be stopped.

Ash was targeting the two Mountain Tribal warriors who wanted to sneak up on them, and she didn't want Freljord to increase the danger of his enemies because of his recklessness.

However, it was then that Ash realized that he had miscalculated.

Not to mention that the girl suddenly showed her superb martial arts, and easily threw the warrior who attacked her into the air.

The cat, which had originally looked ordinary, suddenly erupted with scorching energy, shaking the warriors who attacked her into the air.

The point is that in this way, the target of the magic crystal arrow is no longer those two mountain clan warriors.

And turned into a girl and a black cat!

Ash began to wonder why he suddenly lost his cool because he was under the influence of that strange man.

But there was no turning back from the bow, and the magic crystal arrow flew over a distance of several kilometers at extreme speed, and absorbed the ice magic of the surrounding environment, becoming dozens of times the original size!

Get out of the way!

Ash could only hope that the girl and the cat would react and dodge her attack......

Bang!

But at this moment, the magic crystal arrow hit something, and the furious ice magic was released, freezing everything around it.

"It's pretty good to be on the spot, but it would be better if you could go the extra mile."

In the mist, Red looked up at the Falcon Spirit hovering in the sky.

He had long since discovered the existence of this small "reconnaissance drone", but he deliberately turned a blind eye.

Now he only has less than seven days to complete the mission, but he doesn't have time to slowly solve the enemies that Hulu Baby rescued Grandpa one by one.

So the best way to do that is to show what you're capable of.

Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come.

"Meow~"

The unscathed Spirit Star landed on Red's shoulder, grunting with dissatisfaction.

"Don't be angry, Lingxing, I don't think she meant to...... Right, Miss Ash. ”

Red smiled at the Falcon Spirit in the sky.

At the same time, the fog in front of him began to dissipate, and Tedamir was like a beast frozen by a glacier, wrapped in the ice and unable to move and unconscious.

In the midst of that flash of lightning, Red threw Tydamir out, allowing him to block the magic crystal arrows of Ash the Ice Archer .

"Alright, it's almost time for the game to end - Miss Ash, let's talk. You don't want to lose your important husband just like that, but as long as you cooperate with me, I promise to bring your husband back to you......"

Red said slowly in a slightly threatening tone, knowing that in Freljord it would be better to use strength to deter than any negotiation.

What Red didn't expect, though.

Ash doesn't know Tydamir yet, let alone marry him.

In this way, Red's words have another meaning.

"What's wrong? Ash, your face isn't very good. ”

Bronn first sensed that Ash's expression was wrong, and hurriedly approached to lower his voice and asked worriedly.

"It's okay......"

Ash took a deep breath, and after she stabilized her emotions, she gave orders in a loud voice to the warriors who were assembling in front of her.

"Everyone can disband first, this incident has been resolved!"

In the next second, the warriors of Freljord let out a deafening cheer, and in their opinion, it was Ash who had defeated the enemy thousands of miles away with only two draws of the bow and a magic arrow.

Undoubtedly, this strengthened the belief of the tribe's people that Ash was the reincarnation of Avarosa.

But what no one noticed was that when Ash turned back to Lakstark, he deliberately pulled the hood from his head to hide his expression.

"I didn't expect it to ...... This guy is actually a disciple, doesn't his statement be the same as-"

"Do you want to propose to me?!"

——

"So, you and your people are from a tribe called Dixi......"

"DC Universe - of course, whatever you want to interpret it."

In the halls of Avarosa's Palace, Red, along with Aretha and Lingxing, were entertained by Ash as guests.

Although it is said to be a palace, it is a bit too simple to be honest, just a simple stone building.

It can be seen that although it is the most powerful tribal alliance in Freljord, various resources are still in a state of strain.

Of course, that's not where Red should be concerned.

"Actually, we have no ill will - it was only because Mr. Tedamir had a slight misunderstanding of me, and he seemed to be confusing me with the enemy who destroyed his homeland, so I tried to calm him down as much as I could in self-defence."

Was this a deliberate show off, or did he really just think it was a matter of self-defense?

Ash had just gone to check on Tedamir, who was now locked in ice by her magic crystal arrows—but that might be a good thing for him.

After all, if this is not the case, I am afraid that his spirit will be worn out in this battle on the verge of death, and he will completely lose his human consciousness.

After thawing the magical ice on his body, Ash left Tedamir in the care of his friend Bron.

As the Mother of War, Ash had done her best, and Tedamir had recklessly provoked a dispute, resulting in the near-creation of an enemy for Freljord, and it was supposed that he would be expelled from the Horde Alliance.

Originally, Ash also considered making him his blood alliance because of his previous record of winning duels in 100 battles, but after this incident, Ash dispelled this idea.

If you want to balance the blood alliance of various tribes as Ash, in addition to not being from a big tribe, you must also have the strength to shut up all gossiping people, and as long as there is a shameful defeat, you will be eliminated by Ash as an option.

No matter how much Ash wants to reform, Freljord's tradition will always be that of the strong.

However, Ash is more concerned about the new "suitor" in front of him.

This is your chance to get an important husband. 】

[I want to cooperate with you (Blood Alliance) and stand by your side as your husband. 】

That's how Ash understood what Red said to her at the end.

It may sound overbearing, but this simple and crude way of proposing is quite common in Freljord's culture.

But......

Ash looked at the man named Red in front of her, and she noticed that the other party was also looking her up and down, and quickly avoided her gaze in a little panic.

No, I'm shy about something, this is my territory.

Ash forced himself to make eye contact with Red, only to see that although the other person seemed to be observing him, he did not have the sinister gaze of the other suitors, or the desire for power or his own body.

Could it be that you are thinking too much?

Ash decided to test it first.

"This, about what you just said to me through the Spirit of the Falcon, Mr. Red Douglas......."

"Yes, I'm here to ask you for help - in fact, I'm here to find someone."

Hearing Red's words, Ash was stunned for a moment, then relieved.

It turns out that they are looking for someone, and sure enough, maybe they misunderstood just now?

At the same time, Ash felt a slight sense of loss in her heart, but she quickly adjusted, and her face remained unmoved.

"I see, what is the name of the target you are looking for, and what are the characteristics? If it's in Freljord, I think I can find out about it soon through my connections with other tribes......"

"I don't know."

Red smiled wryly and shook his head, he was telling the truth.

He has two goals, the embodiment of hope, and the soul of Superman.

But Red had no idea of their current form, that the Flare Phoenix might appear as an emotional entity, or it might possess someone - and the same could be true of Superman's soul, men, women, children, and even animals.

And the only clue that Red can find them is ......

"All I know is that the goal I'm looking for is always the embodiment of hope."

Ash was stunned for a moment, then she secretly pulled her hood and lowered her head to cover her expression as much as possible.

This outlander is too cunning!

Ash bit her lip and thought to herself, in Freljord, the reincarnation of Avarosa, the daughter of prophecy, the embodiment of hope is often referred to as a specific person......

That's Ash!

Is this guy dangling a shot just to say this kind of fleshy love words to himself?

"This, this description is empty, isn't there a more substantive ......?"

"I know, that's why I said I need your help, Miss Ash."

Airplanes.

I saw a ring glowing with a dazzling blue light, flying out of Red's waist, and then slowly floating in front of Ash.

"Wear this ring and you'll be able to help me find my purpose......"

[Intelligent creatures are locked.] Ash from the Land of Runeterra, you have the ability to instill a firm hope in others-]

Ash's mind went blank, and his ears were dyed red in his gray hair under the hood.

"Please give me time to think about it!"
