Chapter 835 [0822] The Game of the Brave

It's easy to make a decision, but it's not easy for Lux to truly become the "Demacia Warmother in the hearts of the Freljord people."

For the Freljord people, Demacia does have a lot of appeal, but at the same time, there are also many factors that hinder them from joining Lux. According to the tradition of the Freljord, if a large tribe has the ability, it can easily annex a small tribe, but there is a very important premise, that is, Lux must behave like a warm mother.

Nowadays, many tribes in the West Freljord subcontinent yearn for Demacia, but if Lux wants to turn this yearning into action, she needs to work harder.

Fortunately, the stage is now set. Going to Raxstark to participate in the alliance ceremony has triggered a spontaneous alliance in the West Freljord. If Lux's performance in the alliance is good enough and she is sincere enough, there should be many tribes willing to try to board her big ship.

Therefore, Lux, who was originally in a relaxed state of mind, once again wound up and began to study the relevant information of the West Freljord subcontinent and prepare for her own performance.

"Like a war mother, this is really challenging."

……………………

As Lux made up her mind, the news about this "Newskar League" soon spread all over the West Freljord.

With Lux deliberately slowing down her pace, the tribal war mothers who were interested in Lux or Demacia took action.

They will arrive at Newskar before the ice and snow melt, welcome the legendary "Demacia War Mother" in the spring, and then observe her closely, observe her strength and wisdom, and silently measure the scale of approaching her in their hearts.

Whether to respect her, approach her, or simply surrender to her, everything will be answered in that league.

Although the West Freljord subcontinent is only a small part of the vast Freljord, most tribes must set out as soon as they get the news - even for the war mothers of each tribe and their blood allies, trekking in the wind and snow in winter is not an easy task.

If they want to reach the Neuskara Pass before the ice and snow begin to melt, they must speed up!

Ovoli Floating Snow is one of those who participated in the alliance.

As a member of the Floating Snow tribe, although Ovoli is the envoy and representative of the tribe, he is not a war mother or the blood ally of the war mother - in fact, the war mother of the Floating Snow tribe just died at the hands of the ice troll before the arrival of the Breath of Anivia. Because she died so early and suddenly, although there is a blood ally, she failed to give birth to an heir, so the current Floating Snow tribe does not have a war mother.

The Floating Snow tribe is a relatively special tribe, because they prefer mountains to plains.

For many years, the entire Floating Snow Tribe has lived near the Valar Mountains in the West Freljord subcontinent, and has been nomadic all year round in the area halfway up the mountain. They have the ability to domesticate snow mountain sheep, and can survive in areas near the Valar Mountains at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, just like the snow mountain sheep that run freely and forage on the bare rock walls.

In a sense, the lifestyle of the Floating Snow Tribe is closer to that of the Rakkor people on Mount Targon. They will open up a special area on the cliff for the snow mountain sheep to move around, and usually eat the milk of the snow mountain sheep. They have mastered the relatively primitive wool weaving technology. Although the wool woven directly without degreasing does not taste very good and is quite uncomfortable to wear, it is cheaper and easier to get than ordinary fur. In addition, other tribes have no interest in the mountains, so the Floating Snow Tribe's life near the Valar Mountains is still okay.

However, in the Freljord, any "seemingly okay" life may become "completely ruined" due to some insignificant changes.

Just before the arrival of Breath of Anivia this year, a group of ice trolls migrating from the east passed through the Valar Mountains.

There has always been a saying of three disasters and five disasters in Freljord, among which the three disasters that are enough to cause the destruction of the tribe are ice trolls, lost ones and ice wolf packs.

Once the number of these three things increases, it is possible to bring a devastating blow to the tribe - and among the three disasters, the ice trolls are the leader, which shows their amazing destructiveness.

Compared with the lost ones who prefer pure destruction and expansion of hunting grounds, and the ice wolves that can only form super-large wolf packs in certain years, the cunning and powerful ice trolls are not only more likely to appear, but also often kill more unscrupulously.

You know, although ice trolls also have language and are considered intelligent creatures, they have always been cannibals. Once a tribe is targeted and broken by the ice trolls, the entire tribe may become a meal for the ice trolls overnight.

And the floating snow tribe, which has always been active in high-altitude areas, encountered a group of ice trolls from the east for some reason.

In order to prevent the tribe from becoming the granary of the ice trolls, the War Mother of the Floating Snow Tribe and her blood allies had to take the initiative to launch an attack before those cunning bastards figured out the location of the tribe and the distribution of the snow mountain sheep pastures.

Although the size of the Floating Snow Tribe did not allow them to completely wipe out this group of ice trolls, they at least needed to show courage and make the ice trolls fear the Floating Snow Tribe - the ice trolls have always been bullies and afraid of the strong, and they like to pick on the weak. Once they find that the Floating Snow Tribe cannot be easily dealt with, they will retreat for fear of casualties.

Just like that, in the first Breath of Anivia, the War Mother of the Floating Snow Tribe and the Ice Trolls met in a narrow valley, and a fierce battle broke out.

As a member of the War Mother's Guard, Ovoli experienced the entire battle from beginning to end.

He and the blood allies of the War Mother raised their weapons to fight against the Ice Trolls who were twice as tall as themselves, and after breaking the spear, they continued to fight with the short sword coated with acidic mineral oil, in this way to deal with the annoying regeneration ability of the Ice Trolls.

The whole battle process can be said to be extremely tragic. Ovoli prepared three weapons in advance, but after a quarter of an hour, the spear, short spear and short sword were all broken.

The thick wooden pole of the spear was broken by a mad ice troll, the short spear was stuck in the shoulder blade of another ice troll, and the short sword was left in the chest of an ice troll who looked like a small leader. From Ovoli's point of view, he should have pierced his heart.

Of course, this does not mean that Ovoli killed three ice trolls by himself - although many ice trolls were killed, almost every killed ice troll left five or six weapons.

For ice trolls with strong regenerative ability, even if the blade of the weapon is coated with acidic mineral oil, it takes a lot of effort to completely kill an ice troll. The entire Floating Snow Tribe only has a True Ice Scimitar of the War Mother that can easily kill an ice troll.

In this case, even if the warriors of the Floating Snow Tribe are very brave and prepared to sacrifice in advance, they still quickly fall behind after suddenly encountering the ice trolls.

When Ovoli lost his dagger and turned around to find stones on the ground to use the leather rope to make a simple meteor hammer to continue fighting, he looked up and saw his own War Mother surrounded by three ice trolls, staggering and losing balance under continuous attacks, and finally being torn apart by the opportunity.

Even though Ovoli was an experienced hunter in the tribe, such an amazing scene almost made his heart stop beating.

Fortunately, the desperate counterattack of the war mother before her death also caused considerable casualties to the ice trolls besieging her. Coupled with the brave and selfless fighting of the floating snow tribe, the ice trolls hesitated - although these cunning guys still roared and shouted loudly with their stinky mouths open, their steps were very real.

In the end, after a few fools continued to move forward and were torn to pieces by the angry floating snow warriors, the other ice trolls secretly took the bodies and ran out of the valley like flying.

As a fierce battle came to an end, the threat of the ice trolls was resolved.

But the floating snow tribe did not turn danger into safety - after losing the war mother, the situation of the floating snow tribe was even worse.

Because there was no direct heir, the floating snow tribe could not confirm the next war mother.

Under normal circumstances, once the position of the War Mother is vacant and there is no reliable successor, the Freljord tribe will use internal competitions to decide the new War Mother with fists.

But because they have just experienced a fierce battle, almost all the people in the Floating Snow Tribe who can fight are injured. Only Ovoli, who was knocked away by a troll and fell with stars in his eyes, has multiple fractures on his body. He is the least injured among these people.

At this time, they are asked to fight to decide the new War Mother, I am afraid that many people will not survive this winter!

Moreover, due to the ice trolls, many lambs of the snow mountain sheep were forced to be killed for meat this year. Although it is not a big problem to survive this winter because there are fewer mouths to eat, after the beginning of next spring, the days of the tribe will become visibly difficult. At this time, the difficulty of becoming a War Mother and leading the tribe out of the predicament can be imagined.

Not all those who are qualified to compete for the position of War Mother have the confidence to do this.

In the midst of embarrassment, the Floating Snow Tribe welcomed a team of special visitors.

A small caravan of Fosbyro visited the Snow Tribe - these people didn't know where they heard the legend of the Snow Tribe, and they actually entered the Valar Mountains in the early winter of Freljord and found the Snow Tribe!

Due to the remote terrain, the Snow Tribe rarely has guests visiting. After all, if it is not necessary, ice travelers will not be willing to go to the mountains above 3,000 meters above sea level, so after seeing these visitors, the members of the Snow Tribe were quite surprised.

Fortunately, they have heard of the name of Demacians to some extent, and even the war mother who just passed away has participated in Ashe's alliance in Frost Harbor, so the Snow Tribe still showed limited goodwill to these merchants.

Then, as the merchants took out their goods, this goodwill soon became unlimited - they had a lot of herbs that the Snow Tribe urgently needed, and a lot of weapons mixed with special metals that could resist the erosion of the Freljord climate to a certain extent.

As a trade, the merchants were very interested in the snowy mountain goats domesticated by the Floating Snow Tribe. They paid a high price to buy thirteen snowy mountain goats and hired two people to take care of them. These wealthy guys were even willing to buy the moss that the Floating Snow Tribe had saved to keep the snowy mountain goats alive in winter.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of these merchants gave the Floating Snow Tribe, which had just suffered a heavy blow, a big sigh of relief. In order to thank these merchants and hope that they would come again next year, the Floating Snow Tribe entertained them with considerable enthusiasm.

They even took out precious milk wine as a treat.

In return, the merchant provided them with an interesting piece of news while they were drinking.

"The great Majesty Laxana will hold a meeting west of the Neuskara Pass." When the merchant talked about this topic, his face was also full of pride. "Your Majesty is broad-minded and welcomes the loyalty of the Freljord tribe - ha, you are really lucky, the opportunity to become a member of Demacia is not common!"

Although the merchant did not speak Freljord language very well, the people of the Floating Snow Tribe obviously understood what he said, and many of them had subtle hesitations in their hearts.

If it were normal, the Floating Snow Tribe would not be very interested in the meeting.

Even when the Avarosa tribe was at its peak, the Floating Snow Tribe only participated in one alliance. The entire tribe only nominally followed the order of the Avarosa tribe, but after the return of the War Mother, they still closed the door and did their own thing - Ashe tried to ban alcohol, vigorously promoted tobacco and tea, and insisted that the tribes exchange what they had, but the Floating Snow Tribe always stayed outside this system.

But unfortunately, all that is in the past.

The Floating Snow Tribe now no longer has the complacency it once had. Without the War Mother and facing the crisis next year, many people were deeply moved when they heard that Lux was holding an alliance and welcoming other tribes to join Demacia and pledge allegiance.

The warriors who were not afraid of sacrifice when facing the ice trolls had to bow their heads when facing the plight of the tribe.

In this way, the candidates for the War Mother of the Floating Snow Tribe gathered around the campfire and conducted a frank and original vote. The results showed that more than half of the candidates believed that the current Floating Snow Tribe might not be able to continue, and it might be a better choice to join the alliance and become a part of Demacia.

If those warm-blooded people are not able to do it... then wait until the most difficult time is over, and then leave!

With this idea in mind, they found Ovoli and issued him a difficult task.

"I heard that the War Mother has no blood alliance yet. Ovoli, you are the strongest warrior and the most experienced hunter in the tribe. You must show her your bravery and fearlessness and strive to become one of her blood alliances!"

The Vietnamese team is awesome!

It's on fire.
