"It's almost certain that the Claws of Winter will attack before winter..." the Beast Spirit Walker reported.

When Ashe saw Katarina coming back, she smiled at her, and then said to the Beast Spirit Walker: "I see, you continue to go to the east to be vigilant, and tell the people guarding there not to take the initiative to provoke a dispute with the Claw of Winter. "

"Understood." The beast spirit walker retreated.

Katerina sent the little boy to Ashe's arms, Ashe took him, and returned to his mother's arms, making the little boy scream with joy.

"You troublemaker, you're running around again." Ashe squeezed the little boy's hand and frightened her dotingly, "If you run again, the wolf will take you away!"

Katerina looked at the intimacy between Ashe and her son, and felt nauseated. She sat in front of Ashe and asked, "Why haven't you given your son a name? Hasn't he lived through the winter and can already be named? right?"

"I want to take it when his father comes back." Ashe poked the little boy's belly with his fingers.

A strange expression appeared on Katarina's face.

She had met Ashe's husband, the man called "Lothar", but no matter how she looked at him, Katarina didn't think he was a Freljord, a man covered in looks from Piltover or The machinery that Zaander had acquired was simply out of tune with the Freljord, a savage place where even a clock could not be found.

But what shocked Katerina was that the man's appearance was exactly the same as Luo Ji.

For a while, Katarina thought it was the Luo Ji who came to the Freljord after leaving Noxus, but after her inquiries, the man denied that he was Luo Ji and said he didn't know him at all. Katerina.

And what's even weirder is that the man only stayed in Avarossa for a short time before leaving and never came back, despite Katerina's efforts to learn about the man from Ashe, Ash didn't reveal anything.

Katerina knew that this "Lothar" must have something to do with the "Luo Ji" she knew. She didn't believe that two unrelated people could look so similar, but she had no way to continue investigating.

Katerina looked at the little boy holding Ashe's finger and said, "What if his father never comes back?"

"He will come back." Ashe said firmly, "He promised me."

Katerina sneered in her heart, the young war mother in front of her was perfect, with outstanding appearance, superior strength, and the means and courage to rule the big tribe, but the only disadvantage was that she was too soft-hearted and would easily trust people.

Ashe believed that Katarina's arrival was without malice, accepted her like a family member, and also believed in her husband.

"It's too naive..." Katarina thought, "If she lives in Noxus, I'm afraid she will be eaten to the bone..."

"What you said also makes sense." Ashe looked at her child and said, "I don't always give him a name, and it's not easy to call him normally."

"How about a nickname then?" Katerina suggested.

"A nickname... um... what should I choose?" Ashe thought for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had an idea, "I'll call you the little wolf first, so that even if you are taken away by the wolf , Mother Wolf won't eat you either."

"Yah!" The little boy babbled, not knowing what to do with his nickname.

Katerina shook her head, this tough and shrewd mother of war would follow her child as soon as she met her child, and the smile on her face couldn't stop.

"Are you restless over Winter's Claw?" Katarina felt that she was almost ready, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some important information.

"Well..." As soon as she mentioned Winter's Claw, Ashe's smile disappeared, she gently shook the baby in her arms, and said, "The Winter's Claw's raiding team has been active since the beginning of the spring. It was just last year. The two tribes that joined Avarossa were sacked by them, but fortunately Braum arrived in time and saved many people."

Katarina's mind appeared a picture of a bald-headed strong man with a bright smile like the sun, fighting with a large shield. She knew that Braum, who was one of Ashe's generals, an unbelievably strong ice bloodline. , Katerina even suspected that he could hold a pass alone with a shield in front of thousands of troops.

"Then what do you think?" Katarina asked tentatively. "Want to fight Winter's Claw?"

Ashe's eyes narrowed: "War is something I try to avoid. Neither Avarossa nor the Claw of Winter can afford the consequences of war."

"Idealist." Katarina sneered in her heart. As a Noxian, she knew that it was meaningless for only one party to seek peace. As long as Winter's Claw took the initiative to fight, Avarossa's idea of ​​sticking to peace would be ignored. Fragile as paper.

"You just endure like this." Katarina wanted to test out Ashe's true thoughts. "The Claws of Winter are slaughtering your people. As a war mother, it's a bit unreasonable not to do something, right?"

Ashe was silent for a moment. I don't know if it was an illusion. Katerina saw a hint of pain in Ashe's clear eyes.

"What you said also makes sense. You are a foreigner, and you may be able to see the development of the situation better than us." Ashe sighed, "Avarosa must not provoke a war, which is consistent with my original intention of forming this tribe. Contrary, my people also chose to join Avarosa because they hated the endless war. But the Winter's Claw repeatedly attacked Avarosa, it's really not the way... But then... The Winter's Claw's War Mother has always been If you don't want to talk to me, I have no way..."

Katerina's heart moved, she knew that the opportunity had come.

"I have an immature idea," Katerina said.

"Let's talk about it." Ash said.

Katarina smiled, she knew that Ashe was a leader who liked and listened to others' opinions very much, which was in Catalina's mind: "We in Noxus have such a saying, the enemy of the enemy is the friend."

Ash frowned slightly, but did not interrupt Katerina to continue speaking.

"I mean." Katerina gestured with her hand. "If Avarossa and Winter's Claw can find a common enemy, then the two sides will have an opportunity to sit down and talk."

"Common enemy..." Ashe murmured, "You mean cold"

"No, the cold is too abstract, and it's difficult for the two tribes to share the same enemy." Katarina followed suit. "A more specific enemy, such as trolls, or... Frost guards."

Let Avarossa and Winter's Claw attack the Frostguard, by whatever means.

- Swain's order

Chapter five hundred and sixty fifth snow night

Katarina packed her things and filled the stove, ready to lie down and rest.

Before taking a break, Katarina locked all the doors and windows with homemade locks. Although she didn't think there would be thieves who would enter the house in the middle of the night in Laxstark City, she had to guard against others. This is Katarina's survival. way.

"I don't know if what I said to Ashe today can move her." Katerina climbed onto the bed, lay down and closed her eyes, "If it doesn't work, you have to find another way."

Katarina doesn't know why the High Commander wants Avarossa and Winter's Claw to unite against the Frostguard. The inaccessible badlands of the Freljord don't seem to have much impact on Noxus. Katrina The most plausible explanation Na could think of was that the High Commander wanted the Freljord tribes to fight infighting, thus reducing the pressure on the northern Noxus to resist Winter's Claw.

Katarina didn't think about it deeply. She knew that it was difficult for her to guess the thoughts of the chief commander. What's more, Katarina knew that she was just a blade, as long as she could do things for Noxus, she would think too much about other things. Useless.

Just as Katarina was about to let her mind go to sleep, she felt something dig into her bed.

Katarina quickly reached out and grabbed the object, while her other hand took a dagger from under the pillow and stabbed it hard.

"Yah!" The familiar voice of a child made Katerina's arm hang in the air, and Katerina saw a pair of clear and bright eyes in the darkness.

"Little Wolf" Katarina's eyes widened.

The little wolf, who had just acquired the nickname, fluttered his limbs under Katarina's hands. His forehead was only an inch away from the tip of Katarina's dagger, but he kept smiling at Katarina as if he didn't know the danger.

"How did you get in?" Katerina was so sure that she must have locked all the doors and windows, she let go of the little wolf, and then got out of bed to light the animal oil lamp, while the little wolf was grabbing herself on Katarina's bed at this time. little feet playing.

Katarina re-checked all the locks in the house, and each one was intact.

"How on earth did this child get in?" Katerina looked at the little wolf with her thumb in her head, wondering in her heart.

Since the little wolf lived through the first winter, he has not settled down for a moment, often running around, and Ashe is often very distressed, getting rid of Katerina to help him find him, and every time Katerina finds him All his places were places that a two-year-old would never have gone to alone.

"This child...doesn't he have any other magical talents besides the Frost Bloodline?" Katarina was uncertain for a while, she could only put on her clothes, pick up the little wolf, and plan to return it to Ashe.

Going out in the Freljord at night is a stupid idea. Just as Katarina opened the door, she was hit head-on by the biting cold wind that seemed to kill her. With Katarina's will, she felt a little bit in her heart at the moment. I do not want to go out.

"You little bastard." Katarina said to the little wolf fiercely, "I really owe you."

"Haha!" Little Wolf just smiled at Katarina regardless of whether he understood it or not.

"Alas..." Katarina walked out of the hut against the wind and snow. As soon as her feet sank into the thick snow, Katarina felt how difficult it was to travel late at night. The thick snow just disappeared. Katarina's thighs.

Compared to Katerina's hardships, the little wolf seemed much happier. The snow on the cold night was enough to freeze the beasts to death, but he didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he was having fun holding on to the flying snowflakes.

Katarina's house was not far from Ashe's residence, but this distance Katarina was as difficult as trekking to the ends of the earth.

"Finally..." Katerina saw that there was still light in Ashe's room, and she pushed the door directly in.

Ashe, who was still studying the map, was taken aback: "Katerina is so late for you..."

The first thing Katerina did when she entered the house was to close the door. She shook off the snow on her head and put the wolf on Ashe's table angrily: "Ask your precious son yourself."

"Little Wolf" Ashe looked at the child in surprise, "Why aren't you sleeping outside?"

"Yah! Haha!" The little wolf lay on the map and patted around with his little hands.

"I know you're very busy, but you don't even have to run away from the nest to notice it." Katerina said helplessly, "Fortunately, he came to me. If he went elsewhere, he was caught in the wind and snow. What to do if you blow it away"

"I'm sorry..." Ashe hugged the little wolf in her arms and said to Katerina apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Katerina looked at Ashe's face, which was full of exhaustion: "You haven't slept for a few days"

"Four days..." Ash said.

"You just rely on this thing to support you." Katerina pointed to a snow-melting pepper by Ashe's hand.

"I can't help..." Ashe patted the little wolf on the back, and said, "I can't think of a solution to the problem of Winter's Claw, and I can't sleep."

"You'll fall if you go on like this."

"Bingbing blood is stronger than you think. My highest record is that I haven't slept for half a month." Ashe smiled.

Katerina slammed the table: "Do you think you're good to other people if you hold on! You can't even look down on your own child! You even let me bring it back to you in the middle of the night under heavy snow! Now give it to me immediately go to sleep!"

Ashe was half grateful and half distressed: "Thank you, but I..."

"No but!" Katarina directly pulled Ashe up, pulled her into the room and pushed her onto the bed, "Sleep for me! Hold the little wolf tight! I will never help you find him again! "

As soon as she fell on the bed, she couldn't get up. The exhaustion and sleepiness overwhelmed her. She hugged the little wolf and said to Katarina, "Thank you..."

"Don't keep saying thank you, I don't take this one." Katerina said, "I'll go back first, you can sleep well."

"Would you like to sleep with me?" Ashe said to Katarina, "You better not go out on such a cold night."

Katarina stopped when she was about to leave, and she hesitated for a while. Going out late at night was a torture for her who was not of the ice blood, but Katarina even wondered if there was something wrong with her when she came here. Frostbite.

"Okay, then I'll sleep outside." Katarina agreed with Ashe's proposal.

"Just sleep on the bed, this bed is big enough." Ashe patted the bed she was lying on and made room for Katarina.

"Uh..." Katarina hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was a good opportunity to get in touch with the war mother Avarosa, and she had slept with a rather annoying female spider before, compared to Avarosa's mother spider. Xishui seemed to be fine, "That's fine."

Katarina put out the animal oil lamp and got into the bed. She and Ashe lay side by side, with the little wolf who had fallen into a deep sleep for some time.

"It's strange, I was so sleepy just now, but now I can't sleep." Ashe said.

"Do you mind if I'm here?"

"No... why don't we talk, we might get sleepy after a while, what do you want to talk about?"

Katerina's heart moved: "Tell me about your husband, that Lothar."

"He..." Even if it was pitch black, Katarina could hear her laughing from Ashe's tone, "He's... my favorite person..."

Katarina silently listened to Ashe tell the story of her youth, the daughter of a war mother and a boy who was raised by wolves.

Katarina didn't hear any useful information in this story. The Lothar mentioned by Ashe seemed to have no connection with the Luoji that Katarina knew, and there was a fault in the middle.

While Katerina was listening silently, a loud noise woke the two girls up from the bed.

"Troll attack! Troll attack!" The furious roars of several messengers penetrated the wind and snow and spread with difficulty within Rakstark.

boom!

The sound of a huge house collapsing in the distance completely awakened the city.

————————————————————————————————————

Trolls are coming! Not an inch of grass is left!

- troll tribe slogan

Chapter five hundred and sixty-six troll battlefield

Ashe immediately jumped out of bed, took off the Zhenbing longbow hanging on the wall, put on the cloak and said to Katarina: "I'll drive away the troll! You help me keep the little wolf! Don't let him Run around!"

Before Katerina could object, Ashe rushed out in a hurry.

"Troll attack..." Katarina has a deep impression of trolls. When she first came to Freljord, apart from being cornered by the cold, the most terrifying enemy she encountered was trolls. The thick and terrifying creatures are not afraid of the cold, have great physical strength, and are extremely powerful, and they also move in groups, and Katarina almost became meat in their mouths.

"How did the trolls bypass the other tribes in Avarosa to raid Rakstark" Katarina was a little surprised, but she soon figured it out, the body of trolls is unmatched by humans, they can climb on With sheer cliffs, and across the tundra on the coldest snowy nights, it's still possible to bypass Avarossa's Sentinels if they find a way to raid Rakstark.

But what Katarina couldn't understand was how the troll's savage and no-brainer intelligence was able to carry out such a sudden attack that even the well-prepared Rakstark could not have expected.

"Either the trolls have suddenly become smart..." Katarina mused, "or...someone is instigating them..."

Katarina's ears echoed with the monstrous shouts and roars of trolls outside. Katarina suddenly felt hot all over, and the sound of battle outside hit her eardrums, awakening the longing that had been silent in her heart for a long time.

A Noxian desire - war.

"Huh..." Katerina touched the pair of curved blades pinned to her waist, and there were several circles of flying blades tied around her inner thighs and waist.

Katarina has not used them for almost two years. Although they are used for hunting on weekdays, they, like Katarina, crave not the blood of animals, but the life of the enemy.

"Damn... I can't help it..." Katarina thought for a moment and found a reason to go out to fight, "If I can kill one or two trolls and make a contribution, Ashe will trust me even more, it's just the little wolf... …”

Katerina looked at the little boy on the bed who was still sleeping soundly despite the noise outside: "Aishi asked me to watch him, what if he runs around again?"

Caterina quickly got an idea. She picked up the little wolf and tied the swaddle rope tightly to her torso. Caterina jumped a few times, making sure that no matter how much she moved, the little wolf would not get away from her. After falling out of her arms, Katerina rushed out of the house.

As soon as the door was opened, Katarina's eyes were filled with fire, and the dark snowy night was burned by the flames, but the cold wind was still there. Katarina saw many arrows emitting bright magical light passing by. Above Rakstark, that's Ashe fighting.

"Huh..." Katerina's fingers were shaking, but this time, it was not because of the cold, but because of excitement.
