The Glory of Noxus

The night is as dark as ink, and the moonlight is as silver.

The frozen bay where Frost Harbor is located has become more mysterious and beautiful.

The tired Freljord people and the caravans coming and going enjoy the night life under the bright lights, adding a touch of heat to the city.

The lights in the clothing store have been turned off, and a closed sign is hung in front of the sturdy wooden door.

In the backyard, a bright yellow candle is lit.

In the warm room, the rough fireplace flickers with hot flames, like a dancing fire snake.

Huo Jixing sits on a wooden chair and reads the parchment roll in his hand carefully.

There are many inconveniences in drifting on the ocean, such as intelligence information.

The information on the parchment roll is the intelligence collected and sorted out by the Raiser Guard Secret Office in Frost Harbor every month.

The Noxus Empire is still shrinking its military strength to quell the chaos within the empire.

After Darius dealt with the purge of many nobles, he led his Trifaree Legion to repair in the capital of Noxus.

In this storm sweeping the empire, it seems that Swain and the Supreme Command are gaining the upper hand.

But Huo Jixing knew in his heart that the empire was undercurrent and far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface.

And in the corner of the parchment, there was an intelligence message that caught Huo Jixing's attention.

The message was brief and about the Winter Claw tribe.

After the Second Freljord Campaign with the Noxus Empire, the Winter Claw tribe survived the cold wave but fell into an endless war and fought against the bears.

It was rumored that the immortal thunder Volibear brought down divine punishment and intended to destroy the Winter Claw tribe.

"Sejuani and her Winter Claw tribe are now in a difficult period." Thierry noticed where Huo Jixing was looking and spoke softly.

"The bear spirits who devoted themselves to Volibear ignored the cold wave and slaughtered the blood-sworn alliance of the Winter Claw tribe, and fought fiercely in the southern region of Freljord."

"Their blood dyed the snow-white earth red."

Thierry's eyes flickered as if he thought of some news.

"There are some rumors that Her Majesty Ashe and the Avarosa tribe secretly intervened in this war and provided certain intelligence information and food resources for the Winter Claw tribe."

"As for the specific news, it will take time to confirm."

Huo Jixing heard this, raised his eyes, and stared at Thierry in front of him.

Thierry Lewis, an imperial noble, is also the person in charge of the Raiser Guard Secret Station in Frost Harbor.

"Avarosa tribe?" Huo Jixing thought secretly.

"Given the relationship between Ashe and Sejuani, the Avarosa tribe will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Winter Claw tribe suffer heavy losses or even perish."

"After all, their enemies are not just the Immortal Thunder Volibear."

Huo Jixing thought of what happened in the afternoon, and after carefully reading the parchment scroll, he spoke in a concentrated voice.

"Has anything happened near Frost Harbor recently?"

As soon as he left the Frozen Bay and entered Frost Harbor, he was followed.

There must be something beyond the intelligence.

Thierry frowned, pondered for a while, and shook his head gently: "No, it may be because the adults came by boat."

Starting from the Blood Cliff Port of the Noxus Empire, they traveled by boat all the way.

It would be fine if they got off the ship halfway, but the ultimate goal was Frost Harbor, which would hardly not attract the attention of the Ship Chamber of Commerce.

After safely arriving at their own territory, the Chamber of Commerce would definitely provide relevant intelligence information to the Avarosa tribe.

Huo Jixing nodded, which was similar to his own guess: "I will leave tomorrow, please prepare a detailed map for the mission for me."

The location of this secret mission is in the Kingdom of Demacia, and Frost Harbor is just a transit station.

Huo Jixing is not going to stay for long.

"Okay."

Thierry got up and left, leaving Huo Jixing alone in the room.

Buzz! Buzz!

Huo Jixing closed his eyes, extended his spirit, and opened his eyes after seeing that there was no one around.

After the black gunpowder incident in Rocklund, he was wary of the Raiser Guard Secret Station in every place.

This is not suspicion, but responsibility for his own safety and mission.

"The Kingdom of Demacia." Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and looked at the information on the parchment scroll.

Thierry's Raiser Guard Secret Station mentioned some information related to the mission.

In the border area between Freljord and Demacia, a strange force appeared, which seemed to be very careful and hidden in the snowy mountains.

"Are they still accumulating strength in secret?"

"Yes, the power of the Kingdom of Demacia cannot be underestimated. They must ensure that their plan is 100% successful."

The night deepened, the starlight dimmed, and dotted the dark Frost Harbor.

Huo Jixing left the clothing store, escaped into the darkness, and quickly moved forward along the map he had just memorized.

At the edge of Frost Harbor, a heavily guarded camp was located on the snow, with tall white tents arranged neatly, like a carved ice and snow castle.

This is the camp of the Avarosa tribe.

There were clan warriors patrolling around, and their footsteps sounded under the silent night sky.

Huo Jixing crawled on his stomach and saw these clan warriors vigilantly scanning the surrounding environment, not missing any suspicious signs.

"The former capital of the Avarosa tribe, and the trade wealth brought by Frost Harbor."

Huo Jixing whispered to himself, realizing that the extremely strict camp in front of him was not easy to sneak into.

Then, red-gold light filled the pupils, and the world of ice and snow turned into a red land, and many clouds rose like wolf smoke.

Most of them are ordinary clan warriors, and the clouds are grayish white, but there are also many ice-blue clouds.

Ordinary people have grayish white clouds, and extraordinary people have different colors of clouds due to different power attributes.

The ice-blue clouds seen now.

It means that there are many ice bloods in this Avarosa camp.

Huo Jixing hesitated for a while, and finally chose to leave secretly.

If he broke in by force, it would not be in line with his plan.

At dawn the next day, the Frozen Bay was slowly awakened by the gentle light.

The ice-blue mist filled the air, like layers of gauze covering the Frost Harbor.

With the help of the diffused cold mist, Huo Jixing quietly left with the map provided by Thierry in his arms and entered the ice and snow mountains.

The endless ice and snow mountains are a bit rugged and difficult to walk, and every step requires careful search for a foothold.

Huo Jixing looked at the almost identical environment around him, and his expression was full of memories.

He recalled the embarrassing scene when he first arrived in Valoran. In order to survive, he had to enter the snowy mountains of Freljord.

The wind was cold and the biting cold permeated his soul.

Now, he can ignore the ice and snow trials of Freljord.

"Huh!"

Huo Jixing exhaled lightly, took out the map from his arms, and after confirmation, continued to move forward.

He needed to cross the snowy mountains in front of him and enter the territory of the Kingdom of Demacia.

As he continued to move forward, the snowy ground trembled slightly.

Huo Jixing immediately hid his figure and hid behind the frozen rocks.

"Rangers?"

After waiting for a while, he saw a team of rangers riding Enuk on the mountain road in the distance, hurrying on their way.

Under the biting wind and snow, this group of rangers wearing blue leather armor carried a blue flag with arrow rune marks engraved on it like a bow and arrow.

"From the Avarosa tribe?"

In such an environment, seeing the hurried Avarosa Rangers seemed to indicate that the road ahead was somewhat uneasy.

And Huo Jixing saw that they were heading towards Frost Harbor.

"Did they do it? It doesn't seem likely."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered as he looked at the Avarosa Rangers' departing backs and began to think.

"They are seeking cooperation and should not offend the Avarosa tribe."

"Then. Is it some other unexpected situation?"
