The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Messenger

There are a lot of things in Sejuani’s tent, most of which are the heads and furs of wild animals hunted, as well as some weapons such as spears and battle axes, each of which is a spoil of war obtained after destroying other tribes.

Sejuani sat on the deerskin blanket, poured herself a bowl of honey wine, and gulped it down. The wine overflowed from the corner of her mouth and slid down her chin.

“Ha…” Sejuani let out a long breath, as if she wanted to spit out all the unhappiness, “Why is it so difficult for me to find a blood alliance?”

“Your requirements are too high.” Udyr sat cross-legged on one side of the tent. “I think there are many good men in the tribe. They are full of vitality, and they will definitely have strong offspring with you.”

“What’s the use of light energy?” Sejuani sneered, “My mother eloped with you after giving birth to me who was so healthy, leaving a little girl to fantasize about what her parents look like all day long.”

A deep sense of guilt flashed in Udyr’s eyes, he didn’t try to explain it to Sejuani, because he knew it was useless, Udyr could only use his life to compensate Sejuani, this is like trying to be a daughter Treat the war mother.

“Hmph…” Sejuani looked at the silent Udyr, and poured herself another bowl of honey wine. “In short, I don’t want a weak blood alliance. I must have a strong enough and perfect blood alliance. I would rather be short than excessive.”

“Why did you do this?” Udyr tried to ask Sejuani’s insistence.

Sejuani didn’t answer, she just thought of a hideous face in front of her eyes.

That bastard boy named Lothar, who was weak, disabled, and only clever, became Ashe’s blood ally, causing Ashe to become weak.

“That wolf cub…” Sejuani didn’t want to drink any more wine, and slammed the bowl on the table heavily.

“Wolf cub” Udyr was puzzled.

“It’s nothing…” Sejuani calmed down the anger in her chest, “In short, even if the blood alliance I want is not stronger than me, it must not be worse than me. Swearing to a weak person will only make me become weaker.” weak!”

Udyr didn’t think that was the case. When he was practicing in Ionia, he saw many couples and couples with very different personalities. The Ionian people believed that the complementary personalities of the two would make the family more complete. This is in line with their traditional concept of “yin and yang”.

But Udyr knew that she wouldn’t listen to what he told Sejuani about the Ionians, so he shut up wisely.

Putting aside the matter of the blood alliance for the time being, Sejuani said with some relief on her face: “Last winter, fewer people died of freezing in the tribe, which is good news.”

“Well…” Udyr nodded, “The number of beasts has also increased. It seems that it is not an illusion. The Freljord has indeed become warmer.”

“It’s a good thing. I hope Anivia can keep it going.” Sejuani said, “Since we don’t lose much in winter, I plan to increase the size of the raiding team this year.”

“Aiming at the Noxus?”

“Aiming at the Avarosa people.”

Udyr knew that Sejuani would say this: “The tribe of the Avarosa doesn’t have as much food to plunder as the Noxus.”

“I know, but because of this, the looting of Avarosa will cause a greater blow than the looting of Noxus.” Sejuani’s eyes were full of fighting spirit, “There are as many Noxians as guinea pigs. They can’t finish and rob them. After burning their village, they can build a new one in the next year. But Avarosa, as long as we successfully rob them, we can completely wipe them out, and their food will become less and less. The cold will kill them for me.”

Udyr looked at Sejuani. Udyr remembered that she was a skinny girl when she was very young, her eyes were full of confusion and fear of this world.

But now, Sejuani is strong and strong, telling her plan to deprive others of her life with a calm face.

Udyr doesn’t know whether this kind of growth is good or bad, because he was not by her side when Sejuani was growing up, and Udyr feels that he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on Sejuani’s decision, and, now Sejuani is a war mother.

“I see.” Udyr said, although he didn’t really want to go to war with Avarosa, but as a Freljord, he has long been used to conquering and plundering each other, “I will fight with other spirit walkersTogether, tame more Juvask boars and wargs for the raiding party. ”

“Okay.” Sejuani nodded with satisfaction, she trusted Udyr’s ability.

The two were discussing some details of the raiding team when a rough and hoarse female voice came from outside the tent: “War mother Sejuani, it’s me, Freina.”

“Come in.”

It was a burly middle-aged woman who walked into the tent. She had scars all over her face, and she gave off a powerful feeling, and her eyes were even more ferocious like a beast.

[Scarmother] Freina, one of the strongest iceborn in Winter’s Claw.

Flaina half-kneeled in front of Sejuani, and said in a deep voice, “War Mother, we found a sneaky Noxian outside the camp.”

“Noxus?” Both Sejuani and Udyr were a little surprised. They are now located in the hinterland of the Freljord, where the towering snow-capped mountains and endless ice fields are located, very far from the northern border of Noxus. Far, the Noxians couldn’t resist the cold and go north.

“She’s the only one. There’s no army. The Beast Walkers have checked and she’s indeed the only one.” Freina continued, “She said she’s coming to see you, Battle Mother.”

“See me.” Sejuani put her hands on her lap, thought for a moment, “Bring her up.”

“Yes!” Flaina walked out of the tent, and after a while, she walked in with a tied woman.

The woman has very rare long embroidered red hair, and her body looks very thin. Sejuani felt that she could break the woman’s waist with one punch.

However, the woman’s eyes are very interesting. There is a vertical scar on one of her eyes, which shows that she has experienced battles, and she did not show any nervousness or fear in front of Sejuani. Looking at everything in the camp, he finally settled on Sejuani.

“Who are you?” Sejuani didn’t underestimate the woman in front of her. Someone who can cross the snow-capped mountains and tundra alone must be capable.

“Katerina.” The woman said her name directly.

Sejuani and Udyr looked at each other. This is not the name of the Freljord. This woman does seem to be a foreigner.

Katerina came to Winter’s Claw alone. She was no longer in the panic when she first came to the Freljord. She made sufficient preparations for crossing the ice sheet this time [resource group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.; 6 prepared, arrived at the destination safe and sound.

Katerina was looking at Sejuani at this time. This Winter’s Claw’s war mother was not as vicious as she imagined. On the contrary, Sejuani was still a beautiful woman, and she was very young, probably about the same age as herself. Her silver hair was tied up at the back of her head, and she was wearing a heavy armor that ordinary women would never be able to wear, which was enough to see her strength.

Katerina only knows another person who also wears heavy armor on a daily basis, and that is [Hand of Noxus] Darius, and Sejuani brings Katerina and Darius a very similar feeling—— Experienced in many battles, resolute and strong.

“You said you wanted to see me.” Sejuani also looked at the red-haired woman curiously, “I want to hear what a foreigner wants to do when he sees Winter’s Claw’s Warmother.”

“Looking for an alliance.” Katerina stated her request very directly, “I am an envoy, and I hope to fight against the Frost Guard with Winter’s Claw.”

“Frost Guard” Sejuani narrowed her eyes.

Sejuani is not afraid of anything, but even though she became a war mother, she still can’t understand the purpose of the Frost Guard.

The Frost Guards will send Frost Priests to various tribes to provide medical and divination assistance, but they often send out warriors wearing dark frost armor to kill wantonly, and their purpose is never to fight for territory or steal food, as if they just want to kill .

“Well…the Frost Guard is indeed a problem…” Udyr said to Sejuani, “Last year we also suffered a lot from the Frost Guard.”

“Not only that, the Frost Guard also has trolls.” Katerina continued, “Avarosa has already been attacked by trolls once, and every troll has the mark of the Frost Guard.”

“Trolls!” The expressions of Sejuani, Udyr, and Freina became serious at the same time. If it is true what Katerina said, the Frost Guard and the troll tribe are enemies that must be guarded against.

Sejuani clenched her fingers: “You said Avarosa was attacked by a troll? How did you know?”

“Because I’m here on behalf of Avarosa.” Katerina said succinctly, “Warmother Ashe hopes to have an interview with Winter’s Claw Warmother Sejuani to discuss the fight against the Frost Guard.”

The air in the tent suddenly cooled down.

“What did you say?” Sejuani said angrily, “You were not sent by Noxus! You were sent by Avarosa!”

“Don’t be so angry.” Katerina shrugged indifferently, “It doesn’t matter who wants to form an alliance with you, the key is to deal with the Frost Guard…”

Snapped!

Sejuani’s hand slapped the table hard, almost smashing it into pieces: “Ash still dares to send envoys over! Do you think I didn’t kill enough envoys to kill her!”

Katerina raised her eyebrows a little, and said in her heart: “Sure enough, it’s just like Ashe said, this guy hates Avarosa very much.”

“Warmother Sejuani.” Even when she heard that Sejuani was going to kill her, Katerina didn’t show any panic on her face, “I don’t know what enmity you have with Avarosa, but the Frost Guard and the troll don’t care about that, they alreadyYou have raided Avarosa many times, and Winter’s Claw must be the same. Compared with Avarosa, who longs for peace, the Frost Guard should be the enemy you have to deal with in front of you! ”

“Winter’s Claw will never form an alliance with those cowards in Avarosa!” Sejuani almost growled and said this, she kicked the table away, walked towards Katerina, and reached out to grab her neck.

“Sejuani!” A big hand grabbed Sejuani’s wrist, it was Udyr, he stopped, “Don’t let anger consume you!”

“Don’t lecture me here! Udyr!” Sejuani pushed Udyr away angrily. She put her hands on Katerina’s neck and pulled her face closer to her. “Noxus, I don’t know what trick Ashe used to turn you into an emissary, but no matter what she does, Winter’s Claw never hangs out with cowards!”

Katerina was tied up, and it seemed that she had no chance of resisting. She was pinched by Sejuani, her neck turned red, and she gritted her teeth, “You said… Ashe is a coward…”

“Isn’t it?” Sejuani’s hand became more and more forceful, “The Avarosans don’t plunder, and they don’t practice martial arts! How do they survive in the Freljord! They are incompetent rabbits! They only eat fat and then be killed by wolves! This is the fate of weakness! Wolves do not keep company with rabbits!”

“Avarosa…” Katerina rolled her eyes. Her body kept struggling and had gradually started to lack oxygen. “Avarosa…wasn’t as…so…weak…”

“Really?” Sejuani sneered, “Then why are you, the envoy of Avarosa, powerless in my hands like a rabbit?”

“She’s tied up.” Udyr became more and more worried about Sejuani’s current emotional state, “Give her first…”

“Shut up! Udyr!” Sejuani yelled, “You are not my father! Even if you are! You have no right to make irresponsible remarks to me!”

Udyr has a thorn in his throat, as Sejuani said, he has no qualifications.

“Woo!” Katerina’s eyes turned white completely, her hands and feet drooped limply, and her breathing had stopped.

“Hmph!” Katerina’s death seemed to calm Sejuani’s anger a bit, she threw Katerina on the ground, and said to Flaina who was watching everything silently, “Throw her to feed her!” Beast, don’t let me see her dead body, bad luck.”

“Yes.” Flaina squatted down and lifted Katerina up.

Sejuani turned around, looked at Udyr who was silent with her head down, and realized that what she said just now might have been a little harsh, with a little apology on her face: “Udyr, I just…”

“War mother!” Freina’s exclamation sounded from behind Sejuani.

Before Sejuani could turn around, a cold blade was pressed against her neck.

“Barbarians have rough nerves, and they can’t guard against such a superficial assassination method.” Katerina’s taunting said behind Sejuani’s head.

“Bastard!” Flaina was furious, and she walked over to catch Katerina.

“Hey! Your battle mother is in my hands now!” Katerina warned, “If I remember correctly, she doesn’t have a daughter yet, if you don’t want Winter’s Claw to collapse because there is no war mother, leave me Further!”

The scars on Flaina’s face trembled like worms. She wished she could tear Katerina to pieces. Everything was her mistake. She didn’t find out that there was a knife hidden on Katerina’s body, and she didn’t notice Katerina had untied the rope that bound her long ago, and she didn’t realize that Katerina had faked her death by acting just now.

Udyr frowned, and looked at Katerina a little more cautiously. Just now, the red-haired female assassin jumped up from the ground, and jumped behind Sejuani at an explosive speed that Udyr couldn’t react in time, and held her hostage. For her, the explosive power was somewhat similar to the monks Udyr had seen in Ionia.

Sejuani’s eyes were cold, and she could feel the blade sinking into her flesh. Katerina fully demonstrated the deterrent power of the blade in her hand, and Sejuani’s throat would be cut if she moved even a little.

“Heh…” Sejuani laughed back without fear, “It seems that Ashe did find a good messenger this time.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Katerina’s blade sank deeply into Sejuani’s flesh. It was obviously a very sharp knife, but Katerina controlled the power well, and she didn’t even cut Sejuani’s skin. But Katerina herself was also very surprised. Sejuani was obviously held hostage by her, but she didn’t react at all. She was so calm that she was completely different from the war mother who had just raged and murdered.

“Well, you won a chance for Ashe.” Sejuani said calmly, “After three months, I will have an interview with her at Eagle Mountain and tell her to come.”

Katerina’s knife was still pointed at Sejuani.

“You can go, Winter’s Claw won’t stop you.” Sejuani glanced at Fleena, “Got it?”

Even though her gaze could kill Katerina ten thousand times, Flaina suppressed her inner anger: “It’s… Battle Mother…”

“I’m starting to like you.” Katerina said with a light smile, “But I still don’t believe that you will let me go. You ‘strangled’ me just now because of a disagreement.”

“Then how do you believe it?” Sejuani sneered, “Do you want me to order the entire Winter’s Claw to tie themselves up?”

Katerina smiled playfully, the sharp blade in her hand was a little unsteady.

“This woman is the battle mother of Winter’s Claw…the culprit who has repeatedly invaded Noxus…” Katarina wanted to stab the knife in her heart and remove an enemy for Noxus, “but… The Grand Commander asked me to join forces with Avalotha and Winter’s Claw to fightFu Bingshuang guards, if you kill her…”

After a fierce ideological struggle, Katerina still let go of Sejuani.

Neither Udyr nor Flaina suddenly violently attacked Katerina, it’s just that Flaina’s expression was rather unkind.

“The war mother Sejuani, I’m leaving.” Katerina smiled and left the tent.

Sejuani twisted her neck and said to Udyr, “What do you think?”

Udyr said in a deep voice: “It is impossible for the Noxians to go deep into the Freljord. Anivia’s storm will stop them. She is indeed the messenger of Avarosa.”

“War Mother.” Freina approached Sejuani, “Do you really want to talk to Avarosa?”

“The Frost Guard is indeed a threat.” Sejuani said, “Every year, the Frost Guard kills us no less than the cold. Perhaps this is an opportunity.”

“What chance?” Flaina was puzzled.

“The opportunity to drive the wolf away.” Sejuani touched the place where the blade was just touching, “Isn’t Ashe trying to unify the Freljord? But I will be the one who gets it in the end.”

“Fortunately, I held back and didn’t kill Sejuani. It seems that I am also growing.”
