The city of the Alvarossa tribe, Lakstak.

The tribes sang and danced and held a grand celebration that would have been the scene of Freljord's annual harvest festival.

Today, however, it appeared early.

The reason is simple, as the scarred and discouraged Winterclaw warriors enter Lakstak, all the Freljords are deeply aware of one fact.

Freljord, at last, is about to be reunited again.

But at this celebration, some people looked bored.

"Where's Ash...... So when we can go to Demacia, our time is precious. ”

Red wasn't interested in this kind of celebration, and to be honest, it wasn't as interesting to him as the fight with Volibell just now.

Aretha seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.

"Come, Red, and enjoy this feast together. They are all celebrating and singing the praises of peace...... This is the peace you bring. ”

Aretha seemed to have put her previous conflict with Red behind her, and excitedly took Red's hand and entered the field.

Unlike the wild dances of the Freljords around her, Aretha seems to want to dance as a pas de deux with Red, and it is unknown when she learned it.

Although Red can't dance, his reflexes are extremely good, and he can do it with Aretha's dance steps.

The enthusiastic and unrestrained and smart and gorgeous dancing of the two aroused the applause and cheers of many people present.

"They're singing the praises of Ash, the reincarnation of Avarosa - and peace, this thing never lasts, and I guess it won't be long before we leave to reignite the flames of war."

Red felt the excitement around him, but he could also feel the anger buried in the hearts of some people.

Winterclaw had raided many tribes and made them join Avarossa's tribal alliance in desperation, and now that Winterclaw had surrendered, the enemies were very angry.

And the warriors of Winterclaw are also in awe of Red's strength, and if Red is not here, it is estimated that he will soon return to his wildness.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Red.

Hearing Red's words, Aretha's cheeks puffed up slightly in dissatisfaction.

"You're also human, can't you have more faith in humans?"

"I just have faith in humanity to say this, when there is an external enemy, we will unite and fight, and when there is no external enemy, we will fight internally - and I think this is the strength of human beings, not their weaknesses, and strife and anger are the source of progress, and human beings are creatures who are constantly striving for progress."

Aretha clearly didn't agree with Red's values, and just as she seemed to want to refute Red, a deep female voice sounded next to her.

"I'm sorry, can I do a dance with Ling?"

In the next second, Red felt that the square that had been in a lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and countless eyes were focused on him.

Red turned his head to see a tall woman with her light blonde hair tied into braids, staring at her with fiery eyes.

"Sejuani? You're recovering pretty quickly. ”

Red's eyes narrowed, and he let go of the hand that was holding Aretha, and the latter deftly backed away, giving up his place to the Mother of Winterclaws.

"I have a cold bloodline, and when I crave to fight, my body becomes warm, and at the same time accelerates the healing of all injuries......"

Sejuani took a step forward, she was almost as tall as Red, but now that she had taken off her heavy armor, she could see that her figure was actually very well-proportioned, without a bit of fat.

There was no applause, no music, Sejuani directly put her hands on Red's waist and shoulders, clumsily imitating Aretha's dance just now, but her movements were more rough and unrestrained, and Red even suspected that if an ordinary man danced with her like this, he would have multiple fractures all over his body.

This is no longer a dance, it can be said to be a close fight.

But she was up against Red.

If Sejuani is like a woman who is as fierce as a blizzard, then Red is like a mountain that cannot be shaken, and he can skillfully deal with all of Sejuani's movements, and even cooperate with her to avoid her injury.

"I've always disliked dancing and thought it was something that cowards do...... But today I felt pretty good for the first time, I don't know if it's because of your special dance, or because of you-"

"It must be because of me, because I don't like dancing at all."

Sejuani gave Red a hard push, and she looked like she was trying to push Red down, but she fell backwards due to the reaction force, and at that moment, Red grabbed her bouncy bottom plate and picked her up.

"Okay, tell me what you mean, don't waste everyone's time."

Red tried to put Sejuani down, but just then, Sejuani wrapped her legs around Red's waist and hung on him like a koala.

"I just heard, you want to go to Demacia, right?"

At the same time, Sejuani leaned closer to Red's ear and whispered slowly.

"I can show you the way."

——

"I'm against having Winterclaw join our tribal alliance!"

Unlike the lively celebrations outside, the atmosphere in Ash's Tribal Alliance Hall was very grim now.

"Me too! Our tribe has been plundered by Sejuana, and their spirits are still looking to me to avenge them! ”

"Only blood can wash away their sins!"

Looking at the surging group of tribal representatives, Ash's expression was colder than the Ice Longbow behind her.

Ending the battle with Winterclaw and unifying Freljord was once so elusive that Ash made it his lifelong dream.

But within a day—less than a morning, to be exact—the dream suddenly came true, and with it all sorts of questions she hadn't had time to think about before.

After the unification of Freljord, where did the tribal alliance go?

Many of the members of Avarosa's tribal alliance were unable to endure the ravages of Winterclaw, so they rallied under Ash's banner, and their hatred for Winterclaw was so deep that they could not accept Winterclaw's surrender.

To make matters worse, they were completely uninvolved in the process of defeating Winterclaw, and therefore did not trust Winterclaw's surrender at all.

"These robbers of the Claws of Winter may be deliberately surrendering, plotting to strike back when we are slackening!"

"And the guy named Red Douglas who suddenly appeared, it is likely that he was with them, otherwise how could it be possible to make them surrender obediently in only half a day?"

Ash sighed lightly, and she rose from her throne, trying to soothe their unease as much as possible.

"Calm down, everyone, I saw everything with my own eyes and can testify for them......"

"I think it's time to take advantage of their unpreparedness and launch a sneak attack on them to prevent future troubles-"

Shout!

In the next second, a dazzling blue light flashed in the air.

Bang!

The fire in the middle of the round table was extinguished in an instant, and the cold breath spread around, and the entire hall that was originally noisy and noisy fell silent, and the audience fell silent all of a sudden.

"I understand everyone's doubts, confusion, and confusion – but I will never allow anyone to intend to ignite war on the land of Avarosa and extinguish the light of peace that was hard-won in the future."

Ash raised her Ice Longbow, a crystal clear ice arrow on the string.

Even Ash has an absolutely untouchable reverse scale.

Feeling the coldness and majesty emanating from this Avarosa War Mother, the brains of the originally enthusiastic tribal representatives present immediately calmed down, both physically and mentally.

"Our tribal alliance has been for the unity and peace of Freljord from the beginning, and now that we are infinitely close to this goal, a golden opportunity is in front of us."

Ash glanced at everyone present, she ruled the Avarosa tribe by mercy alone, she was also the most powerful warrior and hunter in all of Avarossa.

"I promise you that I'll keep an eye on Winterclaw and Sejuani and make them repent of what they've done and make atonement for their sins—but if anyone wants to start a dispute again, don't blame me for being rude to him!"

In the end, the meeting ended unhappily, but it was the best result - Ash used his strength to temporarily suppress all dissatisfaction.

But for how long?

Ash watched the still disgruntled tribal representatives leave, and she sighed and walked to the window, looking at the tribe that was having a celebration.

And there will be other problems if this continues......

Suddenly, Ash, whose mind was occupied by the future of the tribe, went blank in an instant.

Because she saw that in the dark night, two figures, a man and a woman, quietly left the lively tribe.

In this moment.

Ash has once again transitioned from the role of the War Mother to a hunter.

——

"Whew!"

With a crisp and pleasant whistle, a huge figure sprang from behind a rock, and finally stopped in front of Red and Sejuani.

"Good, Steelmane."

Sejuani patted the giant boar on the back hard, and the latter gasped and looked at Red with an unkind gaze.

Sejuani jumped onto the boar and looked at Red with a defiant look.

"Are you going to come up? It's a short distance from Demacia......"

Red's eyes narrowed, and he drove the red light energy to float and slowly fall onto Steelmane's back—

"Roar!"

The boar suddenly burst out, as if trying to push Red down, but Red only flashed the red light ring on his hand, and the boar immediately got down and obediently fell back to the ground.

"Animals have instincts, no matter how irritable creatures are, they will suppress their wildness in front of the strong."

Red sat leisurely behind a surprised-looking Sejuani, and he patted Steelmane on the back, who stood up obediently.

"Let's go, Sejuani, and lead the way."

The two of them and a pig walked quickly through the snowy fields in the night, and Sejuani seemed to lean back, consciously or unconsciously, in order to get closer to Red.

"I don't understand, Red Douglas."

Finally, after a long silence, Sejuani was the first to speak.

"I just heard what you said, your concept is obviously closer to mine, why do you want to cooperate with Ash, you should know that in this land, only the law of the jungle is the only truth......"

"You've misunderstood the definition of the strong, Sejuani."

Red said lightly.

"There is a bit of a mistake in your understanding of the strong, the real strong have disdained to devour the weak, and the strong are the beings who make rules for others to obey their own rules...... At this point, I think Ash is a little bit better than you do. ”

Sejuani's expression sank, and she said a little unwillingly.

"I could have won, if I hadn't shown up with you......"

"So you want to rely on me to reverse it? Sejuani, you're not even going to try to fight for power with Ash within the Avarosa tribe? Want to take shortcuts with your body? ”

Red could clearly feel that Sejuani's body in front of him had become stiff.

"If you believe you are right, you should stick with the Avarosa Tribal Alliance, and if someone starts an incident against you first, or when the Tribal Alliance faces an external threat and Ash is unable to respond to her ideals, it is the time to prove the value of your Winterclaws."

Hearing Red's words, Sejuani lowered her head and seemed thoughtful.

"Even if you seduce me now, and I don't cooperate with Ash and help you, what are you going to do when I'm fascinated by the next person, or when I'm leaving?"

After a few moments, Red felt Sejuani's body soften again, and it was as if he had let go of his guard and leaned against him.

"Thank you...... Unexpectedly, I almost went against my will, after seeing you and Volibel fight...... I ......."

"No thanks, it's fair trade, you help me go to Demacia and let me complete the task that Ash has set out faster; And to help you untie the knot in my heart caused by me, it will be my return gift. ”

"So...... Is it for Ash in the end? ”

Sejuani chuckled softly to herself, and then she suddenly turned around and met Red's eyes.

"There's still a long way to go before we get to Demacia—I can assure you that Steelmane's back is very smooth."

Feeling the burning gaze in Sejuani's eyes, Red certainly knew what she was thinking, which seemed to be common in Freljord's culture, and in fact Red didn't mind trying the novel experience of Boar Shock......

Still, Red shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, it's not that Miss Sejuani is not attractive...... It's that there are too many bystanders around, and I'm really embarrassed. ”

Hearing Red's reminder, Sejuani's cheeks flushed, and she slapped Steelmane's back, and the boar braked instantly.

Then Sejuani looked around, gritted her teeth and yelled shyly.

"Who's here, don't hide, come out for me!"

The first to land was Ash, who was behind the rocks on the side of the road, and she was embarrassed to pull her snow-white hair.

Then Aretha and Lingxing, with a look of regret, fell from the sky.

"Ahem, everyone came out for a walk tonight, it's really fate."

Red cleared his throat in embarrassment, then said helplessly.

"In that case, let's go to Demacia together."
