The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Dispute

Whoosh!

An arrow of ice crystals passed through the fire. Even in the midst of the fire, everyone present could still feel the extreme cold radiating from the arrow.

Section 16

The ice crystal arrow brushed past Ukas and did not hit him directly, but the impact of the cold air knocked his whole body away, and a thin layer of frost formed on his shoulders and arms.

“Ash! What are you doing!” Sejuani grabbed Ashe.

“Sejuani!” Ashe looked at everything that happened around her in horror. She shook off Sejuani’s hand and asked, “What is this? Massacre?”

“Of course it was a massacre.” Sejuani watched the tragedy in the village with cold eyes. “They are just a group of parasites. They can’t do anything and still share the hunting ground with us. They should have been exterminated long ago.”

“But they are allies of Winter’s Claw! You made a covenant!” Ashe dissuaded.

“I came today to break the covenant! This covenant was made by those priests! Why did we make a covenant with these weak people!” Sejuani said righteously, “This is not treachery, they are not qualified to fight with Winter’s Claw Sign up! I’m just getting things back on track!”

Ashe looked at Sejuani incomprehensibly. She couldn’t believe that after a few years, Sejuani had become like this.

The skinny little girl who used to be timid is now a murderous monster.

“Just take the food. There’s no need to kill them!” Ashe made her last effort.

“No!” Sejuani flatly refused, “My mother and the priests must not know that I attacked here, unless I get the power of the war mother.”

The quarrel between the two women attracted the attention of everyone in the village. Sejuani’s subordinates temporarily stopped the slaughter and watched in confusion as Sejuani and her sisters in robes began to quarrel.

The survivors of Ibrato didn’t understand what happened, but they didn’t dare to run away. They knew that it was impossible for these invaders to let them go, and running away would only lead to faster death.

“Enough Ashe! Stop being childish!” Sejuani held the broad blade and said coldly, “There is no time. We have to go back before dawn, otherwise we will be suspected.”

“I’m not being willful!” Ashe raised her longbow at Sejuani.

Sejuani’s pupils shrank: “Are you going to use force against me?”

Ashe didn’t answer Sejuani’s question. She looked painful, and her longbow was not loose: “Let them go!”

“Where are you going?”

“We can drive them to the sea of ​​ice!”

“That’s more cruel than killing them directly! It’s impossible for them to survive on the ice sea!”

“Lothar and I survived!”

“That’s because you are of the blood of ice! Because you met me!” Sejuani couldn’t suppress her emotions anymore, she couldn’t understand why Ashe aimed her arrow at [resources’ group]: 9? 8 ;0;2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 She, “Without me! You’re going to die sooner or later dragging that piece of shit! Fate brought me to you! I can keep you alive!”

Ashe opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to argue something, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

“The chain of fate binds you and me!” Sejuani looked furious, “I owe Glenna my life! Now that she’s gone, I’ll protect you!”

Ashe took a step back unconsciously. The true feelings in Sejuani’s eyes were definitely not false, but…

Ashe looked at those Ibratos. What’s wrong with them?

“Let them go…” Ashe’s voice was hoarse, as if she had to use all her strength to say a word.

Sejuani took a deep breath: “No!”

Between Ashe’s fingers, more than a dozen ice crystal arrow tail feathers took shape.

No one believed what they saw. They had never heard of any True Ice weapon that could produce so many arrows at the same time.

“Ash!” Surprised, Sejuani still yelled angrily, “It’s fate that made us appear here! You and I are destined to be sisters! You should listen to me!”

A cold light burst out from Ashe’s longbow, “I don’t believe in fate.”

Ashe let go of her right hand, and the arrows shot like a rainstorm. They hit Sejuani and her weapons and knocked them off.

“Ash!” Sejuani held the wide blade tightly and did not let it go. She slammed forward, and Ashe raised her bow to resist, but Sejuani’s strength was much stronger than hers, and Ashe was hit directly fell to the ground.

“The Ibratos are worthless!” Sejuani looked down at Ashe lying on the ground, “They are no different from the Gruffin we killed together! They are a bunch of weak bastards! They are dead! Winter’s Claw has something to eat! The Horde will let you join! They die and you live!”

Ashe clutched the painful part: “According to the legends we’ve heard since we were young, heroes would never do this!”

“Glenna is my hero!” Sejuani said righteously, “What I am doing now is exactly what your mother would do!”

Ashe stood up slowly, she knew that Sejuani was right, Glenna was never soft when plundering other tribes.

“Mom, she made a mistake… Iceblood Furnace” Ashe looked directly at the angry Sejuani, “One life is one life! There is no distinction between high and low!”

Ashe rushed towards Sejuani with a longbow, and Sejuani grabbed her.

“I know what mistake Glenna made. She found so many sworn fathers for you to train you and protect you. The result is that you have become so weak!”

“The strong are supposed to do what is impossible.” Ashe didn’t back down, “You taught me this! I want to take these Ibratos away!”

Sejuani was silent for a long time, the fire was reflected in her eyes, blazing and furious.

“I made you my robe.” Sejuani mumbled, “But you betrayed me.”

Sejuani shook off Ashe and pushed her towards the group of Ibratos.

Ashe staggered, but still stood firm.

“My mother taught me nothing but one thing.” Sejuani pointed the broad-bladed blade at Ashe, “To be a leader, you need to be able to lie, kill, and sacrifice. I understand this, and You don’t understand, you are still living in those naive legends. I will become a great war mother, and you are nothing.”

Ashe bit the silver hair scattered in front of her face: “You also taught me one thing – the strong should be able to do things that are impossible. Let me take them away and go to the sea of ​​ice. Winter’s claws will not find them. I can Keep them alive.”

“You can’t do it at all!”

“I have to try.” Ashe stood up straight, “Do you know Lothar? The trash in your mouth. You think he is relying on me, but I am also relying on him. He is more important than any iceborn in my heart We must be strong, he and I climbed the snow-capped mountains, crossed the ice sea, and entered the hunting grounds of the bears. We supported each other and helped each other…”

Ashe’s gaze remained firm: “It’s not only the blood of ice that can perform miracles.”

—————————————————————————————————————The winter in the Freljord is very cruel. The average temperature is around minus fifty degrees. The lowest temperature I have measured is minus ninety-three degrees. It is not difficult to imagine places with lower temperatures. Ordinary people could easily be frozen to death if they acted outdoors at such a temperature, so even those with icy blood had to proceed with caution.
