Chapter 99: The Battle of the War Mother! It's troll time!
Death roamed the snowfields of Freljord in the form of a thousand different faces—fangs, blades, numb chilblains, and bitter hunger.
If you want to survive, you must fight every death, neutralize every threat, and occupy every advantage.
Every day at sunrise, there is a choice before Winter's Claws: either survive or die.
Despite being one of the three most powerful tribes in Freljord, along with the Avarosa and Frost Guardians, Winterclaw is the most unstable.
The coldest winter ever in Freljord has arrived, and much of the prey of the past has disappeared, leaving only the most powerful creatures still roaming the snow.
Hunting these creatures is extremely difficult, not only can they easily add to the losses of the small number of tribe members, but the prey is likely to sink itself into the ice in the end, desperately trying to prevent these hunters from getting their hands on its corpse.
For the hunting tribe Winterclaw, they must not take such a big risk to hunt those ice creatures that are too powerful unless they are at a dead end.
In addition to hunting, raiding other tribes became their only hope of survival!
In the past, the Claws of Winter's could plunder so many targets that they would even invade Demacia and loot goods from the wealthy merchants.
However, now that the vast majority of the small tribes of Freljord have chosen to seek refuge in the Avarosa tribe, they have few targets to plunder.
Even Demacia's side strengthened its defenses, erecting a defensive barrier across the canyon in the northern border of the empire.
Winter's Claws are at the end of their rope!
The War Mother and Olaf led the berserkers out hunting and have not yet returned.
Today, as the old and young women and children of the tribe gnaw on the boiled bark of a tree because of hunger, Flena, the scarred mother of Winter's Claws, decides to do something.
Although the War Mother had instructed not to clash with the Avarosa tribe unless it was absolutely necessary.
But now, they have reached the point of last resort!
There is nothing left in the tribe that can eat anything other than the frost wolf and the war mammoth.
But what is the difference between eating these animals and soldiers on the battlefield selling their guns for food!
Freina didn't want to watch the old people and children in her tribe starve to death, and she couldn't bear the fact that her own people were starving, but she still comforted her and told her that they were okay.
So today, Freina decided to take advantage of the time when the Alvarosa tribe was holding a jousting tournament to raid a garrison in the northern part of the Alvarosa tribe.
But Freina didn't expect that she had already chosen the most remote station, but she was still blocked by her mother, Ash.
As the reincarnation of Avarosa, one of the three sisters of Frost, Ash is a powerful warrior with the longbow of the Ice.
Despite being both Ice Born, Freena is far from being Ash's opponent.
One of them is the scar mother of their own tribe, and the other is the war mother of their own tribe, and they both have the responsibility to protect their own tribe.
Their positions differed, but one thing was undeniable: if the invaders were defeated, they would be beheaded by the victors and used to give an account to their own tribesmen!
Now, as Freena leaned against the fence and watched Ash approach, she slowly closed her eyes.
However, just as Freina was about to die, the low roar of the boar of Güvasque suddenly sounded in her ears.
Freina knew very well that it wasn't Ice Fang's growl, because Ice Fang's growl was nowhere near as heavy.
And apart from the ice teeth, there is only one possibility - steel mane!
It was the mount of Sejuani, the warmother of the Claws of Winter, and although it was also one of the only two Guvask boars of Winterclaw, the steelmane was much larger than the ice fangs.
Freina and Ash's heads turned to the night in the distance at the same time, and in the next moment, a swirling chain of ice chains completely revealed the identity of the two of them.
Winter's Claw - Sejuani!
In Freljord, there are very few people who can pick up the Ice Weapon, and if it weren't for the Ice Born, they would be extremely cold and frostbitten the moment they came into contact with the Ice Weapon.
And Zhen Ice is extremely rare, and the only known place to produce Zhen Ice seems to be the Ice and Snow God Mountain of Anivia, the god of ice and snow.
As the god of ice and snow, Anivia created Pure Ice, and is one of the few beings that can produce Pure Ice today.
It is rumored that Lisandro, the War Mother of the Frost Guard, can also make Frost Ice, but her Frost Ice seems to be very wrong, very different from the Ice Frost God created by the Ice God.
Because her ice is dark blue, there seems to be some other power in it.
In Freljord, those who can own and control the Ice are all extremely powerful Ice Descendants.
For example, the owner of this ice chain flail, almost no one will admit that he is mistaken.
"Boom!"
The arrows from the Ice Longbow slammed into the Ice Flails, and the ice magic that swelled out caused the thick snow below to blow open a deep crater.
It was also at this moment that a long-haired Guvask boar, stronger than Ice Fang, burst out of the night and headed straight for Ash.
On Steelmane's back, Sejuani grabbed Steelmane's double ponytail with one hand, raised her hand, and took the Ice Chainfil in her hand.
As it approached, Steelmane slowed down and eventually stopped.
At this time, Sejuani and Ash's eyes met.
This was the first time Ash and Sejuani had met many years after their sisters' breakup, but they didn't expect it to be in this situation.
Now, they have all become the War Mothers of their respective clans, and they have all become extremely powerful Iceborns, but they are standing from completely different angles.
"Ash, long time no see." Sejuani said slowly.
Ash wielded the Ice Longbow and stared at Sejuani on the back of the steelmane.
"Sejuani, you shouldn't have let Winterclaw's hand reach for the Avarosa tribe!"
As soon as the frostwolf knights led by Freina fled, Sejuani arrived behind them, making it difficult for Ash not to suspect that Serjuani was the mastermind of all this.
"Ash of War Mother, I want to come by myself, and it has nothing to do with War Mother!" At this time, Freina on Ash's side roared again.
But before Freena could finish her sentence, she saw Sejuani's raised hand, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Steelmane's front hooves trampled the ground in a furious manner, and Sejuani on it said slowly, "Ash, I am indeed planning all this, and now, I am going to take Freina away!" ”
Whether or not Sejuani planned all this, and whether Freina listened to Sejuani or not, now, Sejuani will definitely stand firmly on Freina's side and make decisions for her!
Like Ash, she is the war-mother of her clan and must also be steadfast in protecting her people.
Sejuani's tone was calm and resolute, and her eyes did not dodge the slightest hint of staring at Ash.
Winterclaw's kindness and protection of the weaker tribes are largely due to Ash's kindness.
It can be said that Ash has cut off Winterclaw's main food source in disguise, which also leads to Winterclaw's need to take risks and stand on the absolute opposite side of the Avarosa tribe!
Scattered ice crystals began to appear on the longbow in Ash's hand, and she said in a deep voice, "Sejuani, you can't take her away today, and even those frostwolf knights just now can't leave the territory of the Avarosa tribe!" ”
"I'm not talking to you, Ash!" Sejuani snorted condescendingly.
The ice flail in her hand also began to glow with a glowing blue light.
Ash is the reincarnation of Avarosa, one of the three Frost sisters, and Sejuani is also the reincarnation of Serilda, one of the three Frost sisters!
10,000 years ago, Avarossa, Serelda, and Lisandro were known as the Frost Sisters, and they were intimate robes.
But today, 10,000 years later, the new three frost sisters have shown a completely opposite situation.
Ash and Sejuani have completely broken up from being sisters, and step by step they have evolved into complete opposites now, while Lisandro spends her days wondering how to kill both Ash and Sejuani!
Although Freljord is a matriarchal society, it is also respected for martial arts, and sometimes fists are more important than saying beautiful words.
Feeling the resoluteness of Sejuani's attitude, Ash knew that it was useless to say anything now, and if she wanted to stand firm, she had to speak with her fists!
As if sensing the anger of the owner on his back, the front hooves of the steel mane began to scratch the ground continuously, and the snort became very heavy.
At one point, a snowflake fell from the sky and captured the light in Ash and Sejuani's eyes, and everything seemed to move at a slow pace.
The snowflakes landed, and Sejuani's legs slammed into the body of the steel mane, and the steel mane was ready to shoot straight towards Ash, who also raised the ice longbow in his hand, and nearly ten arrows condensed on her bowstring at the same time.
Just as two of Freljord's three most powerful mothers rushed towards each other, a figure flickered in the night sky far away from the station.
Zuo Chi had been here for a while, and he had been examining the figure in front of him with a longbow in hand.
Like Sindra, Ash also has white hair, her skin is very white and tender, and her face is extremely delicate, although she is the war mother of the tribe, but she is not as thick as other war mothers, but her body is very well-proportioned and slender.
This figure is not very popular in Freljord, but it is very popular with Zuo Chi
Shaking his head, Zuo Chi removed these messy thoughts from his head and continued to look ahead.
Aside from the previous Bron, this was the first time Zuochi had actually seen a battle between the Iceborn.
The extreme power of the ice magic is very beautiful, and it completely highlights the characteristics of this extremely cold land.
However, Zuo Chi is also a little puzzled, why has he always encountered this kind of thing recently.
Syndra and Brand before, Ash and Lisandro now.
"Could it be that it's a lose-lose situation again, and the yellow finch is behind? But I'm not a yellow finch either! ”
Without further thought, Zuo Chi looked ahead.
Although this is a little different from the two beautiful women pulling each other's hair in the TV series in the previous life, it is equally pleasing to the eye
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Unlike before, when Freina's long knife and ice arrows collided and froze in the air, Ash's arrows were whipped into a cloud of debris by the ice chain in Sejuani's hand, and her momentum towards Ash continued unabated.
Although her arm was a little painful from the shock, it was nothing to the battle-hardened Sejuani.
Getting closer to Ash, Sejuani's ice chain slammed towards Ash.
Ash watched as the arrows from her Ice Longbow were shattered by Sejuani, her eyes not fluctuating in the slightest, and instead she moved her hand holding the longbow downward, gripping the end of the longbow like a stick.
“!!”
Zuo Chi suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, because he seemed to have been smashed like this not long ago
Well, another one with a bow and arrow!
Sejuani's Ice Flails came in front of Ash, and Ash instantly lowered his body, and while dodging the Ice Flails, the longbow in his hand slashed straight at Sejuani on the back of the steel mane.
"Bang!"
The crash of snow below shook the snow below, and Sejuani's left arm slammed into Ash's longbow.
"Click~"
Immediately after, a piercing cracking sound came from the arm, and Sejuani's armour was completely shattered under this blow!
Ignoring the armor on her arm, Sejuani backhanded Ash's longbow, and the Ice Flail pulled back again, striking Ash's body.
In the face of Sejuani's attack, Ash's longbow instantly retracted, blocking his side at the same time.
"Boom!"
The Ice Flails collided with the Ice Longbow, and Ash's footsteps glided long on the snow before they could stop, and Sejuani was only knocked back some distance in her hands due to the presence of the Steel Mane.
Ash stood still, her white hair fluttering in the night wind, her eyes glaring at Sejuani and Steelmane again.
Without any hesitation, Ash rushed towards Sejuani again, and Sejuani did the same, harnessing the steelmane and rushing towards Ash.
But this time, Ash changed his battle strategy.
Just as she was about to get close to Sejuani, her longbow shot dozens of arrows in an instant, heading straight for Sejuani.
After doing this, Ash slung the longbow on his back, his left arm outstretched, and clutched the fangs of the steel mane that protruded from his mouth.
Then, with the help of the inertia of the steel mane rushing forward, its fangs were jerked to the left, and the right hand held down the head of the steel mane and pushed it to the left.
As a result, as Sejuani lifted the Ice Chain's flail to fend off Ash's icy arrows, the steel mane beneath her was jerked to Ash's side.
Sejuani's face was a little gloomy as she fell from the steelmane, but at the same time, she and Ash were standing on the ground.
"Wow~~"
The chains on the Ice Chain flail slived, and the huge Ice Ice slammed into the ground.
"Ash." Sejuani said in a deep voice: "Your strength is very strong, but now, this is just the beginning!" ”
Ash and Sejuani looked at each other, and she said again, "Sejuani, I don't want to hurt you, let your people return the supplies belonging to the Alvarosa clan!" ”
"Huh!" Hearing Ash's words, Sejuani suddenly sneered.
She looked at Ash and her expression became very excited: "Ash, remember what you said when we were in a robe?" The strong should do what is not feasible! ”
"Now, I snatch food for my tribe, which is what I, the warmother, must do. It's useless to say more, in this frozen land, the weak deserve to die, they should be plundered by the strong! ”
"Come, go on!"
Sejuani's words fell, and the snow exploded beneath her feet, and she headed straight for Ash.
"Boom!"
This time, Sejuani and Ash completely abandoned all external objects and collided purely with pure physical power.
The dull hum of the fists to the flesh made the wind and snow whistling in the sky much smoother.
Collide again, and Ash looks directly into Sejuani's eyes: "Sejuani, the strong, deserves to do the unworkable, but he also deserves unbearable pain!" You should not base your survival on the demise of the weak. ”
"The weak deserve to die!" Sejuani retorted.
From here, it can be seen that Ash and Sejuani's survival methods are completely different, and it can even be said that they are two outright extremes.
It is precisely because of this that the sisters who were once brothers and sisters cut off their robes and stood on two opposite sides.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
The flames within the station lit up the night sky and stretched the shadows of Ash and Sejuani on the snow.
The collision between the two Ice Descendants caused a snowstorm to fly in the sky, and in each collision, Ash and Sejuani were both injured to varying degrees.
It's like venting all the bitterness that has accumulated in their hearts for many years, and the attacks of the two are unpretentious, but they both contain great power.
Finally, after another collision, Ash and Sejuani retreated dozens of meters away at the same time.
Sejuani clutched the handle of the Ice Flails tightly in her right hand, gasping for breath.
On the other side, Ash was also wounded in the battle just now.
Judging from the current situation, if they continue to fight, the two will definitely lose both, which is an extremely unwise choice in the cold winter.
However, both Ash and Sejuani knew that today, there had to be a winner between them!
Sejuani must take away the Scarring Mother of her own clan, and Ash must stop Sejuani.
"Buzz!"
Like two ice vortices that suddenly appeared in the cold winter, the snow falling from the sky was suddenly torn apart by two forces, and it quickly headed in the direction of Ash and Sejuani.
In the hands of Ash and Sejuani, the Ice Flails and the Ice Longbow shone with a dazzling ice blue light at the same time, and the raging ice magic was rapidly gathering in their hands.
Ash slowly raised the Ice Longbow in his hand, and an incomparably large magical arrow was converging on the bowstring.
On Sejuani's side, the ice chain in her hand was covered in raging ice and snow, and the muscles in her arms were constantly bulging.
At one point, Sejuani began to run towards Ash, and the force of her feet on the ground became heavier and heavier, and wherever she stepped on it, a very obvious pit appeared in an instant.
And just as Sejuani was about to come to Ash, the strength of her steps on the ground was also at its peak.
Under the tremendous reaction force, Sejuani rose into the air, and it was at this moment that her roar suddenly rang out.
"Steelmane!"
"Roar!"
At the moment when Sejuani's roar fell, a small mountain-like figure broke through the wind and snow and appeared beneath Sejuani.
Sejuani's strongest form returned, and at the same time, the ice on the ice chain flail in her hand was completely condensed.
Without hesitation, Sejuani threw the ice chain flail in her hand straight at Ash in front of her.
"Extremely Cold Hell!"
At the same time, the huge arrows on Ash's longbow burst out of the string, and the arrows continued to rotate, and white streamers surrounded the arrows, making it even more sacred.
Magic Crystal Arrow!
Under normal circumstances, in order to minimize his own damage, this crystal arrow could be shot at the Extreme Ice Hell no matter what.
However, instead of using the Magic Crystal Arrow to shoot down the Extreme Ice Hell, Ash shot the Magic Crystal Arrow at Sejuani!
The whizzing arrows brushed past the swirling Extreme Ice Hell, heading straight for each other.
At this moment, neither Ash nor Sejuani has any way out, and it will be the most extreme collision between the two war mothers with cold blood.
By using all their strength to deliver that attack, both Ash and Sejuani lost the best chance to dodge each other's attacks.
They have no escape!
Looking at the attack that had come closer, wrapped in endless ice magic, Ash and Sejuani's eyes were unwavering.
Sejuani's steel mane roared under her crotch, and her arm-worn arm clenched into a fist, blasting straight towards the magic crystal arrow.
Ash, on the other hand, held the magic crystal arrow in his hand, and a huge force erupted from his body, directly slashing towards the Extreme Ice Hell.
An extremely dazzling icy blue light illuminated the entire northern border of the Avarosa tribe, and two ice storms erupted at the same time.
"Buzz~Boom!"
The ice storm swept through everything around them, and even the flames burning in the station were extinguished in an instant, and the figures of Ash and Sejuani were completely consumed by the storm.
In the distant sky, a relentless storm blew through Zuo Chi's body, and he couldn't help but feel a deep shock.
Zuo Chi raised his right hand to block the raging wind and snow, ready to use his mental power to probe the outcome of the battle ahead.
However, just as Zuo Chi's spiritual power spread out in all directions, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Turning his head sharply to the mountains in the north of the station, Zuo Chi's expression was also a little sluggish.
"I was right"
The other side.
It took a long time for the raging snow and ice to show signs of subsidence, and as the dazzling ice-blue light faded away, two figures that were still standing slowly emerged from the center of the explosion.
"Poof!"
Sejuani spurted out a mouthful of blood, her body was covered with countless wounds, and the arm that had just swung out to block the magic crystal arrow was now completely hanging down, and hot blood continued to pour out of her arm, and it was quickly frozen by the cold.
There was no doubt that Sejuani's arm had completely lost her ability to move, and the steel mane under her had rolled far away, lying on the ground and wailing.
Sejuani's eyes were fixed on the front, she wanted to know how Ash was doing, she wanted to know the outcome of the battle!
The ice fog cleared a little more, and the place where Ash was slowly revealed in front of Sejuani.
However, when Sejuani saw Ash, her body shook violently.
Because right where Ash was, Ash was holding the Ice Bow in his hand, and a pale blue film of light lingered on the surface of his body.
This layer of light helped Ash block most of the damage from the Extreme Ice, and although she was out of strength at this time, she was not seriously injured.
Sejuani knew that it was a blessing from Anivia, the god of ice and snow.
The power of the God of Ice and Snow helped Ash to block the Extreme Ice Hell at a critical moment!
With a deep frustration in her eyes, it was as if she had drained her strength to maintain her feet.
She knew she was losing.
Today, neither she nor Freena will be able to return to Winterclaw, and the people of Winterclaw may not survive this winter.
"Stampede~~"
There was a sound of footsteps, and Sejuani saw Ash walking towards her with a longbow in hand, and she saw her Ice Flails in Ash's hand.
Slowly closing her eyes, Sejuani whispered, "Ash, kill me, I'll trade my life for Freina's"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, in the middle of her sentence, a loud roar interrupted her, and she was horrified to find that countless footsteps began to sound, and they were rapidly approaching this way.
Sejuani and Ash looked at the northern night at the same time.
In the next moment, a deafening roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"It's troll time!"
(Question, can Ash in the six-god costume beat the five-piece pig girl!) )
(This part of the plot is relatively coherent, so it is not divided into two chapters.) )
(End of chapter)
