Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

When Ai Xi received the news that the Nyuskara Pass had changed hands and that Braka had been killed in battle, she was a little confused.

This time, Winter's Claw moved too fast. The Avarosa tribe had no preparations and no defense at all. They were completely caught off guard!

The large and small settlements that could delay Winter's Claw in the past were insignificant this time in front of the army that was abnormally assembled in winter and were completely crushed.

Even the Newskala Pass, which was of great significance in Ashe's defense system, was defeated because of the death of the defender. Sejuani and her Winter's Claw army were deprived of food and relied on the enemy. After the victory, they plundered without any restraint, traveling hundreds of miles a day, unstoppable!

When Ashe received the news, the vanguard led by Sejuani herself had already arrived at Eryamaka - if Winter's Claw did not slow down, it would probably be less than ten days before they reached Frost Harbor.

Bad news came one after another, but Ai Xi still needed to force himself to calm down quickly.

Sejuani is coming menacingly, but we can't panic now, and it's not the time to panic. For Ashe, whose tribe was once separated, and her mother and sworn father died in front of her, the Winter's Claw's surprise attack is not hers. She had seen the worst things, and the current situation was far from enough to make her despair.

"Calling all the ice bloodline." Ai Xi took a deep breath, and then looked up at the war priest who was always protecting him. "At the same time, we sent an envoy who can tame the snow eagle to deliver the news farther west. We will not provoke War, but we will not be afraid of war!"

Zhanji, who had newly passed the test this year, puffed up his chest, loudly responded to War Mother's order, and then quickly went to convey it. When he left the hall and the other ice blood warriors had not arrived, Ai Xi He lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

This young man is one of the people who hopes to go out and plunder this winter. He has hinted many times before that "we can use tougher methods to survive the cold winter."

In previous years, this kind of stupid young man needed more education, but this year, in order to resist the attack of Winter's Claw, Ashe may have to rely on their momentum.

The family knows its own affairs and the united Avarosa is "a group for the weak to keep warm." Within this group, anyone who dares to fight to the death and has the ability to fight to the death is extremely valuable.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Ai Xi took out a handful of tobacco from his pocket and sprinkled the crushed tobacco leaves onto the red charcoal fire in the hall.

These powders with a lot of broken stems that even poor smokers in Demacia looked down upon were a rare refreshing thing in Freljord. As the flames suddenly lit up, Ashe's Her nerves finally calmed down a little, and her eyes fell on the Yukalpi in the center of the hall, which depicts the terrain of the Sifreljord subcontinent.

In the Freljord, the accuracy of maps is often pitifully low. Freljordians who have no mapping ability usually prefer to use guides' descriptions to understand the terrain. To them, the map is often more like a string. A plan for the course of action.

But Ashe's map is different. Although the topography in many places is also very rough, at least in the core area of ​​Avarosa from Newskala Pass to Ningshuang Harbor, the topography is extremely detailed. Pretty accurate.

Moreover, at Ashe's request, the map makers also made different marks with natural minerals of different colors to represent the tendencies of certain strongholds.

Among them, the blue color represents Avarosa and the strongholds belonging to the Avarosa tribe. Every year when the map is updated, the scope will expand.

Ashe looked at the map and towards the Neuskala Pass.

Ai Xi had walked through the pass sandwiched between the mountains of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range more than once. To be honest, she couldn't imagine why the pass changed hands so easily. She also didn't understand why Bu, who had always been steady, changed hands. Kara, will attack rashly, eventually leading to the loss of strategic locations.

But now is not the time to complain. After confirming that the Nueskara Pass has turned from blue to dangerous red, Ashe must make a decision and determine the next move strategy for Avarosa.

Is it a head-on confrontation to defeat the marauders of the Winter's Claw; or is it the same as in the past, relying on strongholds and cities for defense, letting the city walls become their vanguard.

The messenger who brought the news said that the number of Winter Claws is more than 10,000. Considering the opponent's marching speed and the current weather gathering, if the number is true, then I am afraid that a head-on battle will not be a good idea - not only is it difficult to win, And even if we win, there will be far fewer eyes to look after the herds and fewer hands to sow cassava next year.

Avarosa is experiencing a baby boom in the past few years, and Ashe doesn't want to pay too heavy a price if possible.

But now that Sejuani is here, she won't give up. Considering that the opponent seems to be able to bypass the snow sculpture's detection and moves extremely fast, it may be very difficult to defend the city alone...

Biting her lip gently, Ashe finally narrowed her eyes. At this moment, she remembered the Avarosa tribe's attack on Forsbarrow in the winter when her mother was still there.

What did the Demacians in the south do?

They moved everyone outside the city walls and took away all the food outside the city walls.

Now, can I also use this trick to deal with Sejuani? Winter's Claw's supplies must not be transported through the Nyuskara Pass. The mountains there are steep, even if you go by Yukal or Erniuk. It will be slippery if you go up.

The Winter's Claw has assembled a large army, with tens of thousands of warriors and countless mounts. I'm afraid it will be very stressful to just rely on plundering, right?

If we could convince all the tribes along the way to abandon their easily captured strongholds, take away all the tribes' supplies, and then find a way to recapture the Nyuskara Pass, would we be able to trap the Winter's Claw?

Salmon, which are extremely difficult to fight in the sea, are destined to not be able to survive for long once they are brought to the surface; and no matter how powerful the enemy is, if their stomachs are empty and there is no food, they are probably no different from salmon without water!

Thinking of this, Ashe's eyes finally gradually brightened up - when the ice bloodline of the Avarosa tribe gathered together, a rough battle plan had already taken shape in her mind.

……………………

When Ashe found the weakness of the Winter's Claw army, Sejuani, who was running all the way, also realized the trouble that the Nyuskara Pass had brought to her.

Although the victory over Bukhara in the duel made the soldiers under her command full of momentum, the news about her afterwards made Sejuani unhappy.

"Newskala Pass is too dangerous, Sejuani." Udyr looked serious when he talked about this issue, "We have gained a lot, but we can't transport this dangerous pass - except for the soldiers' rations, We don't have any supplies."

"Spirit Walker." Although she and her mother Korgia are at loggerheads, Sejuani is full of respect for her actual sworn father Udyr. "You will listen to the voices of all spirits. Even so, there is no Is there any way?"

"There is no way." Udyr shook his head, "Ernuk in the team is unwilling to climb the slope, and even the war horses with only oat grass in their heads are afraid of the steepness of the pass - if we can tame the snow monster, maybe we can Have the opportunity."

Taming snow monsters is of course nonsense. Udyr was obviously using a more euphemistic way of explaining the pass's ability to cut off the Winter's Claw army.

"That's really troublesome." As if she had expected it, Sejuani opened her mouth and showed a smile that was mixed with arrogance and arrogance. "Then, let's leave the injured people behind and let them take them with them. All our trophies, escort the newly admitted cubs away, return to the Sanjigra Plain, wait for me to return victoriously, and then distribute the trophies!"

Obviously, even if this robbery was a complete victory, Sejuani was still unwilling to stop. She only hoped to complete her victory in one battle and completely capture Avarosa!

Udyr was still a little worried about what his daughter would think.

Udyr, who had personally participated in the Ionian War, had witnessed with his own eyes the mighty Noxian army suffered a disastrous defeat in Navoli - although from the Freljord's perspective, the warriors of both sides in this battle were They are not particularly brave (at least not far from the Ice Bloodline), but the relationship between victory and defeat made Udyr think a lot.

Although I have never heard that "the end of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lutan", at the last moment of the Battle of Presidenton, when the headquarters of the Noxian army was raided, the commander was in trouble, and the Noxian army forcibly gathered. After the momentum disappeared, Udyr was deeply impressed by the overwhelming defeat.

The scale of the war is huge, but victory or defeat can be decided in an instant. People who fight for a long time, even tough-willed warriors, may not be able to hold back!

And now, Winter's Claw is facing a similar situation - if you don't stop now and continue heading west, the Nyuskara Pass will block all supplies and support, causing this war that has lasted for half a month. High-intensity raid, start from scratch again!

"Don't worry, Beast Spirit Walker!" Seemingly guessing Udyr's worries, Sejuani showed a disdainful expression on her face, "Ashe and her new Avarosa are not powerful enemies. Having lost the bravery of the Freljord, like the warm-blooded people in the south, they only know how to hide behind the city wall and tremble. As long as we can lure them out from behind the tall city wall, there is no need to doubt the outcome of the battle. "

Udyr nodded upon hearing this.

"I didn't have a good solution to the turtle shell they built before, but now, a guy from the south has defected to us - his ability is really useful. Before Ashe is aware of all this, I must Crush Avarosa with one wave!”

Speaking of the new guys who defected to the tribe, Udyr's expression became a little subtle.

The Demacian who calls himself Silas has the incredible ability to directly steal the power of others.

Although the shaman who accepted him said that it was the power given to him by the three sisters, it was a pity that the Juvask wild boar that the shaman rode saw everything and handed it over to Udyr in its entirety...

Therefore, when Silas still wanted to hide it, Udyr revealed his secret in one word, forcing him to show his true ability.

Why did the stable Bukhara take the initiative to fight after the Nuuskara Pass was easily captured?

That's because Silas stole the power of a war mother from the Avarosan Alliance Tribe and deceived Bukara into thinking that she was an allied force coming for support!

Silas's ability to imitate and the hazy night allowed Silas to deceive Bukara.

Where have the Freljordians seen this?

When she took the initiative to welcome this rare ally in Avarosan fashion, Winter's Claw launched a deadly attack.

However, unlike what Silas thought, Sejuani only regarded his actions as a way to lure the enemy into fighting. Even though she had an absolute advantage in the situation, she still generously gave the opponent a chance to duel. , and then majestically smashed Bukara's head with the North Wind Flail, completely winning the battle.

But now, according to Sejuani, she is planning to repeat her old tricks, relying on Silas's imitation ability and the mutual support between Avarosa and its allied tribes to lure them into battle one by one, and then attack them head-on. Its beat!

Udyr, who realized this, nodded with some satisfaction.

He liked this tactic very much. Although it was somewhat unethical to use Sylas's imitation ability, considering that it was just a way to hide those Avalor who first violated the Freljord tradition and hid themselves behind the city walls. With the method introduced by the Sa people, it seems that things have become acceptable.

"So, we have to go straight to the west, right?" Udyr blinked, "reach Ningshuang Port as quickly as possible, as a support army?"

"Those who can't keep up, stay behind as a reserve team and loot more." Sejuani nodded, "I know Ashe very well. Although she is a good player, her heart is too weak. Even we don't They must be disguised as reinforcements, even if they are just pretending to be desperate and want to join Avarosa, she will accept them foolishly... With such a weak war mother, how can the warriors under her have strong willpower?"

From the perspective of the Freljord people, Sejuani's words seem to make sense - if the core war mother in a tribe is soft-hearted, then the warriors will naturally not have such a strong will to fight.

However, Udyr, who had personally experienced the Battle of Ionia, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

When it comes to soft-heartedness, no one is softer-hearted than the Ionians - but in Presidenton, the soft-hearted Ionians are like the most powerful blood of ice, fighting to the death and fighting hard for them. The mother provided an opportunity to behead in a surprise attack...

No, this is different.

Shaking his head, Udyr got rid of this strange thought from his mind.

The Avarosans are not Ionians, that's different.

They don't have the will to defend anything.

Winter's Claw will win this battle!
