Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

No one stipulates that another ice wall cannot be built outside the western pass of Neuskala.

But as long as the chapter leader of Xiguan in Newskala is not a fool, she will understand what this ice wall means - with this ice wall, the strategic value of Xiguan has been completely lost, and it has completely turned into a tax checkpoint. .

Outside the ice wall, Laxana will completely control the order of the Sifreljord subcontinent, and Avarosa will completely lose control of this inherent land, and even the news of Frostport will no longer exist. It took a lot of twists and turns to get here...

But, having said that, even so, is this situation important to Avarosa now?

I'm afraid...it's not important, right?

Since entering the Rakstak Plain, even the energetic Ashe no longer has time to manage everything in Ningshuang Port - Compared with Ningshuang Port, Rakstak City, the three-sister dragon The place of prosperity is undoubtedly more important.

It has the oldest inheritance in Freljord and is the center of the entire Freljord. Everything in Rakstark City is more important than Frostport.

If you want to unite the entire Freljord together again, in a remote corner like Frost Harbor, even if you scream at the top of your lungs, your voice cannot be heard by the entire Freljord. Only in Rakstak , she could make her voice heard throughout the Freljord.

The upcoming alliance in Rakstak with the support of the Frost Witch is the best explanation for this idea. If it had not been for entering the Rakstak Plain and establishing a foothold in Rakstak City, Ashe would have It is impossible to host an alliance of this scale.

The chapter leader of Niuskara Xiguan occasionally corresponds with Ai Xi. In private letters, Ai Xi has expressed her expectations for this situation many times. She believes that her efforts will definitely be rewarded, and she is on the right path. Take a path no one has ever taken before in the Freljord.

Before Lux came to Newskala, the chapter leader always believed that Ashe's choice was correct, and that Lux Stark was the essence and key of Freljord.

However, watching from a distance the cheering representatives of many tribes in the West Frieljord subcontinent outside the ice wall, she faintly felt something was wrong.

It seemed that with the rise of this ice wall, the Avarosa tribe had completely lost a lot - she couldn't tell exactly what they had lost, but she felt some subtle discomfort.

No, there is nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

Shaking her head hard, the chapter leader could only force herself to calm down - the Demacians were allies, and Her Majesty Laxana was about to attend the alliance's ceremony. The discomfort in her heart was probably just her attachment to the past.

How to deal with this unexpected alliance ultimately depends on Ashe's attitude!

That's right, look at Ashe's attitude!

In silence, the chapter leader stationed at the western pass of Newskala acquiesced to the rise of this ice wall and also acquiesced to Lux's alliance this time.

And Ashe's subsequent instructions did not exceed her expectations - Ashe still believed that Lux was an important ally and friend of Avarosa. Ashe, who had not seen the alliance with her own eyes, was completely unaware of the alliance itself. What's more, they don't realize what kind of impact a Demacia emperor who strives to play the role of the Freljord's war mother can have on the old order of the Freljord.

Ashe, who entered the Rakstak Plain and took over Rakstak City, was completely unaware that he was gradually falling into an ancient trap called tradition.

Everything she experienced in Rakstark City gave her the expectation and possibility of "uniting the Freljord in a traditional way." When the dawn of victory began to show signs of victory, she subconsciously , has gradually given up part of his persistence in Ningshuang Port.

For her, learning from the Demacians has changed from "a matter of life and death for the tribe" to a policy of "maintaining the tribe's economy". She once set her sights on Ashe outside the Freljord. , now the attention has been completely focused on the Larkstak Plain.

Due to Freljord's war mother system, her change in attitude also directly affected the attitude of her chapter leaders. Although she felt something was not right, after the alliance, she expressed her feelings to Lux on behalf of Ashe. Congratulations.

With this statement, the last obstacle in front of Lux has been removed - from now on, the old order will be gradually replaced in the vast area of ​​the West Freljord subcontinent. Under the image of , a new order that has never existed in the past is being born in Freljord.

……………………

When Lissandra received the news of the Newskala Alliance, the Frost Witch, who had always been known for her calmness, showed her furious emotions for the first time on her Ice Throne.

There is no doubt that Lux's behavior completely exceeded Lissandra's expectations. She was indeed trying to sow discord between Lux and Ashe, but she never expected that the result of this provocation would be For the first time, Lux extended her arm to the West Freljord subcontinent.

In the past, no warm-blooded person had ever been interested in the Freljord. To them, this was a wild land where the benefits of management far outweighed the investment. The tradition of the Freljord people made it so that any Warmbloods who try to rule here are ostracized by all Freljordians.

However, under the influence of northern trade in the past ten years, this rejection has been gradually softened - Lissandra noticed the blood transfusion effect of northern trade on the Avarosa tribe, and noticed the impact of trade exchanges on the Avarosa tribe. The huge profits brought by the Avarosa tribe, and the realization that it was the northern trade that gave Ashe the courage to challenge the old order of Freljord and the ambition to unify Freljord was born.

But before everything happened, what she didn't realize was that through trade in the north, the Freljord people in the West Freljord subcontinent had lost their "bloodiness", and they no longer had any respect for the warm-blooded people in the south. Full of contempt, although the cultural gap between the two sides still exists, there is a bit more tolerance and acceptance.

The barrier that once blocked the cultural exchange between Freljord and Demacia has been quietly opened up by the northern trade that has been going on for more than ten years. In the northern trade that has been going on for a full generation, For many tribes in the West Freljord subcontinent, the "German merchant" has become a very important non-staff member of the tribe.

Just like the frost guard priests within many tribes on the Laxtak Plain.

Lissandra can exert influence over the many tribes of the Freljord through the Frostguard Priests.

Similarly, Lux can also exert her influence in the West Freljord subcontinent through Demacia's northern traders.

In the past, Lissandra had never thought about this aspect - although she had a wealth of experience and experience, sometimes this experience would make her fall into misunderstandings of thinking and habitually follow the old train of thought. to think.

She subconsciously believed that to Lux, the Freljord was nothing more than a money bag, and all she wanted was the monopoly on northern trade.

However, when the news of the Newskala Alliance came, Lissandra realized that the warm-blooded person named Lux ​​was actually trying to use a similar method to her own in the West Freljord subcontinent. Establish the order she desires.

This cunning guy even pretended to be the "War Mother of Freljord" in order to gain the trust and support of other tribes, and use funny performances to fool those idiots who have never seen the world!

What, why do you think Lissandra said this was Lux's show?

Nonsense, of course she knows - because Lissandra herself has used this method to perform in the Freljord for thousands of years!

It happened that at this critical juncture, Ashe, who was holding an alliance in Lux Stark, unconsciously provided Lux ​​with cover. No matter how furious Lissandra was, she would not be able to mobilize the strength to go to Severe in a short time. Erdjord subcontinent.

Lux's behavior is indeed intolerable.

But now is the critical period to close Ashe's net, and Lissandra is at her wits' end!

In this case, all the Frost Witch can do is to suppress her anger and focus more on driving a wedge between Lux and Ashe - as long as the relationship between them completely collapses, no matter whether it is Lux, who has lost the support of local forces, and Ashe, who has no financial resources in the rear, will end up in embarrassment!

……………………

Lux obviously didn't know Lissandra's thoughts.

At this moment, all her attention was focused on this alliance and on maintaining her identity as a war mother - it was precisely through personally presiding over the alliance that she gradually understood Freir. What is the significance of a Zhuode-style alliance?

Why hold an alliance?

For the leaders of the Freljord Guild, the Guild is not only to establish a new order, but more importantly, through the Guild, they can show their organizational strength to all participants and use the Guild to The alliance serves as a platform to provide new interests that can attract more people.

According to tradition, there are three important steps in a Freljord-style alliance: competition, communication, and oath.

Among these three steps, the competition is a link to show off muscles, and it is also a link for the leader to show off his organizational capabilities. Participants from each tribe in the competition are either the war mother herself or the strongest warrior in the tribe. Most of their characters are unruly and unruly. Tame, even if you are willing to abide by the rules of the competition, it is always easy to make all kinds of mistakes.

In this case, if the alliance leader wants to ensure that the competition proceeds normally, he must have the ability and skills to handle it properly.

For Lux, this is not a difficult task - with clerks and mages as the basic base, the guild competitions she can host are much more reliable than all guild competitions in the past, and in When she is willing to come forward in person, any conflicts can be resolved quickly.

Moreover, Lux, who was well aware of the strong nature of the Freljordians, also fought several times in person during the competition by fighting and demonstrating, completely overpowering those who thought she looked "weak". The guy who is ready to make a move, the whole competition can be said to be calm and smooth.

Then, on the night after the competition ends, a grand bonfire party will be held in Newskala, and this is the second step of the Freljord Alliance, communication.

For the Freljord tribe, exchanges are of extremely important significance - only through exchanges can different tribes learn from each other and get what they need. Before the rise of the Avarosa tribe and the beginning of trade in the north, , the Guild Alliance's exchanges were even once the main commercial circulation platform in Freljord. Before there was a complete business system, the Guild Alliance often shouldered the mission of trade exchange meetings.

However, with the development of trade in the north, there has been a bit of a "meeting with netizens" style among the tribes in terms of communication.

Because Demacia's official caravans would cycle through various tribes in the Freljord twice a year in the spring and autumn, this directly led to trade exchanges between different tribes and indirectly through the Demacian caravans.

Although for Demacia, the core of the northern trade is to exchange cheap Demacian food for cheap furs from Frel Drow, but because the caravan will expand its customers as much as possible and pass through many Frel The Zod tribe, so at every stop in the northern trade, in addition to the most critical food and fur trade, they will also purchase and sell some of the local Freljord products.

The initial purpose of this process was to promote ice gold coins, promote Demacia gold coins, and establish an economic order that relied on Demacia. However, it also promoted indirect economic exchanges between different tribes. Therefore, in the bonfire At the conference, many tribal representatives met and drank together, and soon they were surprised to find that some of the products purchased by their own tribe were actually produced by the other tribe.

Although due to cost reasons, it is difficult for different tribes to separate from the Demacia caravan and conduct trade exchanges independently, this discovery has greatly deepened the relationship between different tribes, making the atmosphere of the bonfire meeting obviously lively.

Then, the day after the bonfire meeting, the most important part of the alliance finally came.

Oath of alliance.

The Freljord people attach great importance to oaths, especially oaths and promises made with blood. The War Mother's spouse is called a blood pact because he and the War Mother will make an oath with blood and dedicate their loyalty to each other.

For the alliance, the oath is equivalent to the signing of a treaty - the signature is important, and more importantly, what should be written on the treaty.

If it is a tribal oath like Winter's Claw, Sejuani's oath is often "I will take the lead in the next plunder of XXX, fight to the death, and I will ensure a fair distribution of the spoils."

However, for Lux, the situation is very different.

In this part of the Oath, she will no longer play the role of the traditional war mother of Freljord.

There was no competition, so it suddenly felt a little empty.
