The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Escape

Ashe looked at Lothar, Lothar nodded, agreeing to follow Sejuani.

“Is this his intention to help Sejuani?” Ashe thought about Lothar’s thoughts, “Going to the Winter’s Claw tribe…is indeed a faster and safer way.”

Ashe couldn’t help but look at Lothar with admiration again. When the Avarosa tribe was still there, Ashe rarely had time to stay with Lothar. After contacting Lothar all day these days, Ashe found that everyone in this tribe The wolf cub who doesn’t want to be seen is actually a very strong, persistent, and cunning person.

Just like a real wolf.

Section 12

“Is this the kind of person who will become my blood alliance?” Ashe imagined the time he will spend with Lothar in the future, “It seems…it will be very interesting.”

“What are you thinking about?” Lothar asked beside Ashe.

“I was thinking about you.” Ashe was helping Sejuani push the cart behind the cart, and she blushed a little when she heard Lothar’s words.

“Oh what’s the matter?”

Ashe smiled and said nothing.

Lothar was in a hurry: “You said it.”

“I won’t say it.” Seeing Lothar who was itching to scratch his head, Ashe maintained a meaningful expression.With a smile, he said in his heart, “Let you also taste the feeling of being betrayed.”

Sejuani looked back at the two of them strangely, and thought, “What is their relationship? They seem to be very close…”

The three of them kept as quiet as possible and walked through the bear man’s hunting ground.

“It’s almost here.” Sejuani whispered and pointed ahead, “That’s my boat.”

Lothar and Ashe looked at the place Sejuani pointed at. On the coast, a small canoe was docked on the shore.

“That’s great…” Ashe breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn’t see the bear man, she was already terrified just by staying here.

Boom!

The dull thunder sounded in the distance behind everyone.

Ai Xi looked back, and a huge thick black cloud appeared in the distance, with faint electric lights emerging in it, as if there were indescribable creatures charging in the black cloud.

“It’s the bears! They found us!” Lothar roared, “Go!”

Without any hesitation, Ashe and Sejuani exerted the strength of the ice blood to the extreme, and quickly pulled the cart to the side of the boat without looking back.

“Quick! All the meat must be loaded onto the boat!” Sejuani said loudly, but her tone was not as strong as before, but a little trembling.

The black cloud rushed towards the three of them at an extremely fast speed, and they could even see the terrifying figure reflected by the lightning in the black cloud. The bears screamed for death, and storms and lightning destroyed everything in their path.

Even though there was only one arm left, Lothar was still reluctantly helping Ashe and Sejuani to carry the meat onto the boat. Now they had to be fast. Once they were approached by the bears, they would have no chance of surviving.

“Okay!” Ashe threw the last piece of snake meat onto the boat, led Lothar to jump into the canoe together, “Go!”

“Sit tight!” Sejuani pushed the boat into the sea with all her strength, then jumped up, grabbing the oars with both hands and quickly sailed away from the shore.

After they drew a certain distance, the black cloud had already reached the coast, but the monster in the black cloud did not choose to go into the sea to pursue it, but yelled frantically at the boat.

“It’s safe…” Lothar breathed a sigh of relief, “Bearmen generally don’t leave their hunting grounds.”

Sejuani gave Lothar a strange look: “You seem to know bear people quite well.”

“Well… when I came to the bear hunting ground, I was often hunted down.” Lothar scratched his head.

Sejuani let out a “cut”, obviously not believing it. She didn’t even dare to meet the bear man with a cold blood. How could a furnace survive in the hands of the bear man.

Ashe leaned gently next to Lothar, looking at a large pile of snake meat on the boat: “Sejuani, are you here to hunt at the bear hunting ground?”

Sejuani said while rowing: “That’s right, you see, I am wearing a bear’s skin disguise to find prey.”

Ashe frowned: “It’s too dangerous, can’t I go to other hunting grounds?”

Sejuani’s face was solemn: “There is no way. Our tribe’s food is very scarce this year. It is difficult to find large prey when winter arrives. There is not enough hare or anything. I can only take an adventure in the bear hunting ground.”

Ashe sighed. For the tribes in the Freljord, lack of food is a common occurrence, even a large tribe like Winter’s Claw is not immune.

“It’s all my mother’s fault!” Sejuani suddenly said angrily, “As a war mother, she didn’t organize a raiding team to grab food from other tribes, causing the whole tribe to starve!”

Ashe and Lothar exchanged glances. It seems that the recent situation of Winter’s Claw is not very good.

“Don’t talk about me, what about you?” Sejuani ignored Lothar and asked Ashe, “What are you doing here? Is Avarosa also short of food?”

Ashe smiled bitterly: “My tribe is gone.”

Sejuani stopped the owl in her hand, her eyes stared like a frightened night owl: “What did you say?”

Ashe bit her lip: “The Frost Priest of our tribe betrayed us, now only Lothar and I are left in the Avarosa tribe.”

Ashe felt Lothar’s hand clenched slightly, and she suddenly realized that Lothar never seemed to regard himself as an Avarosa.

He is an outsider.

Thinking that she was the only reason why Lothar would stay in the tribe, Ashe didn’t know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

“Frost priests…they are really not good people.” When Sejuani mentioned the Frost Priests, her tone was full of undisguised disgust, “They are always giving some bad ideas to my mother. Our tribe is short of food to a large extent. It was they who did it… did Glenna die too?”

Ashe knew that Sejuani admired her mother very much. When the Avarosa tribe and the Winter’s Claw tribe made pilgrimages together when she was a child, Sejuani liked to stay with Ashe by Glenna’s side.

Thinking of her mother, Ai Xi felt her nose sore, she shook her head vigorously, and replied, “Um…”

Sejuani trembled all over: “Is that so…”

The two women fell into silence.

Lothar didn’t say anything, he just looked back. The black cloud was already far away from them, but the thunderous roar of the bear still faintly lingered in Lothar’s ears.

“Lothar, what’s the matter?” Ashe noticed Lothar’s strange behavior, and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.” Lothar turned his head, no longer looked at the black cloud, but kissed Ashe on the face, “Thank you for your concern.”

Ashe blushed pretty, and just about to hit Lothar, she found that Sejuani was still watching, but she was a little embarrassed and put her hand down.

Sejuani looked at the two of them in shock, her eyes widened, and the stimulation seemed to be more exaggerated than the news of Glenna’s death.

————————————————————————————————————

Many tribes in the Freljord are good at looting, and they make up for the lack of food through looting. Some of the most powerful raiding tribes, such as the Winter’s Claw, are not limited to looting the supplies of the native tribes of the Freljord, and even invade the military powers of Noxus in the southeast and southwest in the summer. The northern border of the two major kingdoms of Demacia, the forbidden magic country. Even the iron-blooded Noxian legions and the elite Demacian army did not get good results in the war against these Freljord bandits.
