"Recently, the Winter Claw's raids on the surrounding tribes have become more and more serious. It is said that they have begun to attack the country south of Freljord."
"In this winter of food scarcity, even a powerful being like Winter's Claw has reached the brink of exhaustion."
"In the entire Freljord, perhaps only Warmother Ashe's Avarosa tribe is the final destination for ordinary people like us."
"Warmother Ashe is truly the most benevolent and powerful warmother in the entire Freljord. I wonder which boy will be lucky enough to become her blood ally."
Along the way, the old man was telling Zuo Chi some recent rumors about Freljord, and Zuo Chi listened patiently.
Through the old man's narration and his own understanding, Zuo Chi roughly understood the characteristics of the three major tribes in Freljord today.
Lissandra's Frostguard tribe has always occupied a small area in the eastern part of Freljord. Apart from sending troops to attack the Avarosa tribe and the Winter's Claw tribe, it rarely has contact with the outside world.
The overall strength of the Frost Guard is the strongest among the three tribes. As a frost witch who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, Lissandra's strength has reached an extremely terrifying level.
In addition to the Frostguard, the Winter Claws of Warmother Sejuani belong to a nomadic tribe. Their food source is basically from looting other tribes. Of course, they will definitely hunt when there is prey.
But because of the tribal attributes of Winter Claw, she is destined not to have too many tribal members without fighting power.
The last one is Ashe's Avarosan tribe, which has many followers because of Ashe's reputation for kindness throughout the Freljord.
The Avarosan tribe occupies the heart of the Freljord and has a vast territory. The war mother Ashe has been blessed by the goddess of ice and snow Anivia.
These are the characteristics of the three most powerful tribes in Freljord today, apart from the old gods.
After another half a day of traveling, there were gradually more and more pedestrians ahead. Many teams riding on long-haired giant beasts passed Zuo Chi and others from one side and rushed forward quickly.
"Here we are."
After walking some distance, the old man said softly.
Because Warmother Ashe wanted to choose a blood alliance, many people came to the Avarosa tribe from all over the Freljord continent, and Zuo Chi and his group were already crowded around them.
Finally, Zuo Chi and the old man and his group were arranged to stay in a tent in the east of the Avarosa tribe.
And according to the old man who asked, the martial arts tournament will be held in two days. War Mother Ashe is not in the tribe now, so they just need to wait quietly for the martial arts tournament to begin in these two days.
Outside the tent, warriors from other tribes also settled down one after another.
These people are almost all the most powerful warriors in their respective tribes. They all fantasize about winning the tournament and winning the favor of Warmother Ashe.
Soon, the first night after Zuo Chi came to Freljord quietly arrived.
Zuo Chi was lying in the tent, staring at the roof boredly, wondering when he would accomplish the real purpose of coming to Freljord - to visit the ancient gods here!
If you don't understand it thoroughly, Zuo Chi can easily achieve the opposite effect, so you must consider everything clearly before taking action.
The fire outside the tent was burning brightly. The crackling sound of the burning wood and the howling east wind mixed together to form a serenade unique to the Freljord.
As time passed, Zuo Chi gradually began to feel a little sleepy.
However, just as Zuo Chi was listening to the wind outside the house and preparing to have a good sleep, he suddenly heard bursts of noise in his ears!
"Ok?"
Zuo Chi quickly stood up and looked at the other people in the tent, but found that there was nothing unusual about them and they were still sleeping soundly.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Zuo Chi fully mobilized his mental power and carefully searched for the source of the sound.
Soon Zuo Chi discovered that the sound seemed to come from his northwest, the northern border of the Avarosa tribe.
As time went by, Zuo Chi discovered that the noise showed no signs of dying down. Instead, it became more and more intense, and even began to be mixed with the sound of swords clashing.
Zuo Chi frowned slightly.
It seems that Freljord is a place full of talented people. At this critical moment when countless powerful warriors are gathering in the Avarosa tribe, there are still people who dare to come here to cause trouble.
Feeling the noise that seemed to have no signs of stopping, Zuo Chi put away the World Rune, stood up and walked out of the tent.
Snowflakes falling from the sky hit Zuo Chi's face. He exhaled a long breath of white mist and turned to look towards the endless dark night in the northwest.
After standing for a long time in the snowy night, Zuo Chi turned into a stream of light and rushed in that direction.
If you ask Zuo Chi what he was going to do, the answer is of course - to watch the fun!
Having just arrived in Freljord, I am naturally extremely curious about everything.
Just as Zuo Chi was running quickly towards the northern border of the Avarosa tribe, the place was already filled with flames!
The dense wailing and the sound of swords clashing were intertwined, and the wind and snow in the sky seemed to be stronger.
"Enemy attack, it's the Winter Claw!"
A low horn sounded, waking up all the Avarosans who were still sleeping in the base, but they woke up too late.
"boom!"
A dull crashing sound was heard, and an extremely huge long-haired wild boar broke through the outermost defense of the Avarosa tribe’s base and rushed into the Avarosa tribe’s base with unstoppable force.
Behind him, there were dozens of powerful warriors riding frost wolves and holding sharp blades.
"Seize the food, take all the food away! Be quick, don't fight!"
A majestic roar came from the giant wild boar, and the goals of dozens of soldiers became clear in an instant.
The food that the Avarosan tribe had hunted so hard for was carried to the Frostwolves one bag at a time by these bandits.
After a brief panic, the remaining Avarosa tribe warriors quickly organized a counterattack.
However, the Winter Claw seemed to have encountered this situation countless times, and facing the counterattack of the Avarosa tribe, the Winter Claw, which had the advantage, separated a part of its people to fight against them, while the rest prepared to leave quickly with the looted food.
"boom!"
The giant wild boar knocked over all the fire pots in the tribe, and the fire quickly spread to every corner of the station.
The fire spread toward the tribe's tents, forcing the Avarosa warriors to give up trying to stop the Claw of Winter and instead put out the fire.
In this way, the Winter Claw could leave with the food of the Avarosan tribe without hindrance.
"Everyone, let's go!"
From this man's extremely calm command, it can be heard that Winter Claw really has deep experience in looting other tribes.
Led by a giant wild boar, followed by dozens of frost wolves, the group rushed towards the outside of the Avarosa tribe.
But just when the figure on the giant wild boar thought that this would be an extremely perfect robbery, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart.
"Ice Fang, stop!"
She pulled the giant wild boar's reins hard to stop it, but unfortunately, it was too late.
"Whoosh!"
With the sound of breaking wind, a huge arrow made entirely of ice nailed in front of a giant wild boar named Ice Fang, and Ice Fang directly hit the arrow.
Like an elephant tripped by an ant, Bingya's huge body fell down instantly, and the figure on it was thrown away heavily.
Sensing the movement ahead, all the Frost Wolves behind the Ice Fang came to an abrupt stop. Low growls as if they were facing a formidable enemy began to emanate from their mouths, and they dared not move forward again.
"Frena, Scarmother of Winter's Claw, I need to know who sent you!"
It was also at this time that a cold voice sounded outside the entire base, and a figure holding a Zhenbing longbow appeared outside the base of the Avarosa tribe.
It is the current war mother of the Avarosa tribe - Ashe!
As the conference to recruit the Blood Alliance is about to be held, Ashe needs to run around the affiliated tribes around the Avarosa tribe all day to stabilize their morale and promise to give them fair and just treatment. She will never favor any one tribe because of the emergence of the Blood Alliance.
And just today, Ashe led her tribe to a large affiliated tribe in the north of the Avarosa tribe as usual, but when she came back, she saw a huge fire on the northern border of the Avarosa tribe.
Ashe temporarily abandoned her tribe and rushed here alone, finally arriving here at the last moment.
Ashe recognized at first sight the man who tried to lead the Winter Claw to plunder the Avarosan tribe, the second-in-command of the Winter Claw - Scar Mother Freina!
Outside the base, Bingya's huge body rolled a long way on the snow before it finally stopped. At the critical moment, Flena on it supported the ground with her arms and rolled to stand still.
Ignoring Ashe's voice coming from afar, Freina quickly came to Bingya and lifted up its huge body weighing several tons.
Yes, Flena is also an Iceborn.
As one of the only two Juvask boars in the entire Winter Claw, Ice Fang is almost the most precious thing to Flena.
Lifting Bingya up, Freina's eyes reflected the light of fire, and she looked into Ashe's eyes through the night sky.
"Warmother Ashe, no one sent me here, this is my decision alone!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
As she spoke, a long-handled machete appeared in Flena's hand. She swung it rapidly, and bursts of air-breaking sounds were heard.
At this moment, every muscle in Fleina's body was completely tense, and even beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
She had clearly conducted a thorough investigation and knew that Ashe, the War Mother of the Avarosa tribe, would definitely not come here tonight, but she miscalculated!
Although they were both Iceborn, Freyna knew very well that she would never be a match for Ashe.
“Tap~~”
Ashe walked closer to Freyna step by step, and she said in an unquestionable tone: "Tell the people of Winter Claw to put down the food belonging to the Avarosa tribe!"
"Don't even think about it!" Flena roared, "I'm going to die anyway, so why should I be afraid of a fight!"
"Between watching my people starve to death and taking a risk, anyone knows what to choose! This winter, too many people are destined to die, but they must not be my people!"
As she spoke, the Frostwolf Knights behind Freina slowly came up behind her and looked at the tall figure in front of them as if they were facing a great enemy.
Although there was only one Ashe, she brought them an extremely huge sense of crisis.
The reason why Ashe can command the largest tribe in the entire Freljord is definitely not just because of her kindness, but also because of her terrifying strength!
"All of you go, go to the War Mother!"
Suddenly, Fleina roared softly, and she turned over and jumped onto Bingfang's back.
"Warmother Ashe, come, let me see the power of the reincarnation of Avarosa!"
Ashe clenched the True Ice Longbow in her hand, and the whistling ice magic began to condense on her bowstring.
"Frena, I don't want to repeat myself a second time, put the food down!"
"go!"
With one final roar, Freina clamped her legs around Bingya's back, sending the giant boar charging straight at Ashe's delicate frame.
The group of Frostwolf Knights behind her looked at their scarred mother with sad eyes, then rode their Frostwolves into the night.
"They can't escape from the Avarosa tribe's territory. Avarosa's warriors are here!"
In front of Bingfang, Ashe whispered, and at the same time she fully lit up the True Ice Longbow in her hand, and a crystal blue arrow appeared out of thin air on her bowstring.
