In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

She was thankful for the arrival of Ashe and Cheng Xiao, otherwise she would always be a frog in the well who only focused on her own tribe.

Now she had only one question in her mind... and she was going to ask it now:

"Ashe, what do you think the Frost Witch wants to do?"

"Hmm?" Ash was a little confused by this sudden question. "What are you asking about?"

"It's just... about you and your tribe." Sejuani hesitated, obviously embarrassed to directly mention the pain in the other person's heart.

But this issue concerns their future direction.

She had to ask.

"I'm a little confused... Does the Frost Witch want to harm you, or help you?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Ashe frowned slightly. "Her Frostguard slaughtered my tribe, consuming the entire Avarosan tribe in fire and ashes... I hate her, and she hates me just as much."

“But she protected us before.” Sejuani’s voice became even quieter. “That was… when we robbed the Noxian merchant ship last time.”

"She must have ulterior motives." Ashe said firmly.

Sejuani didn't know what to refute for a moment, so she just thought silently.

Cheng Xiao on the side was also thinking about it - in fact, he had been thinking about this question for a long time.

From his perspective, this matter was indeed very strange.

Others may not know Lissandra's motive for protecting them, but he is very clear about it - the "monsters under the abyss" that the witch mentioned are naturally referring to the group of Void Watchers trapped by her tens of millions of years ago.

Millions of years have passed, and the Watchers' "sleep" is already precarious, ready to wake at any moment. Lissandra needs a new power to continue to keep them asleep or prepare to fight them.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao knew that Lissandra helped them because she saw hope in them - she noticed her strange self-healing ability, and also found that Ashe had enough talent and ability to control Avarosa's Ice Crystal Longbow, and these were all capitals that she could use to deal with the Void Watcher in the future.

Lissandra had no reason to attack them.

Looking at it this way, there are many doubts about the previous destruction of the Avarosa tribe.

The most obvious point is that Lissandra has no motivation.

Not to mention that she has her own influence now, even in the development of the original timeline, she did not attack Ashe again after Ashe mastered the Ice Crystal Longbow - she did not want to prevent anyone from touching Avarosa's heritage, she just did not want unqualified people to disrupt her plans.

Ashe's abilities were recognized by her, and she did not stop Ashe from uniting the other tribes of Freljord and forming the Freljord Alliance.

Even if Lissandra did send people to slaughter the Avarosa tribe in the original timeline, it was before Ashe received the Avarosa legacy. She didn't think Ashe could control the longbow at that time, so she did that.

What I'm saying now...is unreasonable, totally unreasonable.

No motivation.

Especially after meeting Lissandra, Cheng Xiao felt more and more that something was wrong - from his almost God's perspective, anyone who was not a fool could see that Lissandra could not do that.

As for the Drakron bone staff found at the scene, it was most likely a frame-up by someone else.

As for who the real murderer is...

"Ashe, it could actually be done by Noxians or Ursine."

Cheng Xiao patted the girl's delicate shoulder gently, calming her increasingly anxious mood.

"Others..." Ashe pursed her lips, hesitant to speak.

She's not the type to be incapable of thinking.

Of course she thought a lot, but she...

"I can't tell, I really can't tell... But Cheng Xiao, do you understand what I mean?"

Ashe sighed again, her tone revealing bitterness and helplessness:

"This is what keeps me going... Regardless of whether the Frost Witch is the murderer or not, what I'm doing now is helping the Freljord."

"This land has been divided for too long... Tribes have been constantly at odds with each other, pillaging, burning, and killing each other... All this needs to stop. The Freljord needs peace. Only then can the Freljord truly grow stronger."

"The Witch rules the northern reaches of the Freljord and controls the south through underhanded tactics. She sows strife and chaos to maintain her throne."

"It takes one person to stop all this."

"So, do you understand?"

Ash took the hand on her shoulder and held it in front of her.

"Whether the Frost Witch is the real murderer or not, I must continue on this path... Before I succeed, the unexpected truth will disrupt my plans..."

"What should I do when my plans for reviving the Freljord and my goals of revenge are at odds?"

"The last time I saw the witch, I was still blinded by hatred, but after returning, I thought a lot... If I meet her again next time, I won't be so impulsive and reckless, and I won't regard her as a target that must be revenged on the spot."

"I can't guess what she's thinking, but I will understand your thoughts, Cheng Xiao."

"You don't have to worry that I'll be as foolish as before."

"So, please don't wake me up for now, okay?"

After saying that, Ashe lowered her head, and Sejuani beside her stopped talking.

Cheng Xiao walked away silently, giving the girl some space to be alone.

He can understand the other person's thoughts.

In fact, Ashe has already sensed that things may not be as simple as they seem... but what she is doing now is right - whether Lissandra did that or not, she will unite Freljord to overthrow the witch's brutal rule.

She couldn't let go of the hatred in her heart, so she diverted the conflict.

Perhaps one day she will succeed and pull Lissandra down from the frozen throne, but when that happens she will definitely not use "revenge" as an excuse - she is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

If it is confirmed that it was Lissandra who did it, she will take revenge without hesitation; if it is confirmed that it was not Lissandra, she will not feel embarrassed and insist on wrongly accusing Lissandra.

All she needs now is a motivation to help her overcome all obstacles.

A belief that would not make her feel that she was not avenging her people.

"I'll stand by you no matter what."

Cheng Xiao moved closer to Ashley again, speaking in a gentle tone.

At the same time, he was also planning something - after conquering the Dalwali tribe, he would just have to go north for about thirty miles to reach a bear man's hunting ground.

It’s time to go find that big bear and play with him…

---------------------------------------------

-------------------------

one day one Night.

Cheng Xiao and his group set out in the morning, but arrived at their destination at sunset the next day.

The red sunset glow and the afterglow of the setting sun complement each other, giving color to the endless white plains.

"We're getting there."

Ashe put away the map and looked out at the rows of black dots on the horizon—those were houses.

Cheng Xiao nodded and walked shoulder to shoulder with the girl.

Sejuani, who was behind the two of them, was not very happy - although Cheng Xiao and Ashe didn't chat much along the way, they always walked together, and from time to time they would hold hands across their mounts, while she could only watch from behind, unable to join in the conversation, and it was difficult for her to even say a word.

It was like watching these two people being intimate for two whole days.

Thinking back to what happened that night, she became even more angry - why? She could only be intimate behind his back, but could only be intimate with Ashe in public?

She really didn't accept it.

She had secretly made up her mind to show Cheng Xiao her powerful strength in the power competition with Dalwaliba.

And the most perfect muscle lines.

No boy can resist the temptation of muscles!

Thinking of this, Sejuani couldn't help but straighten her back, and her strong chest muscles and the two peaks on her chest muscles were straightened.

This is much bigger than Ashe.

Ashe only has two lumps of soft fat, but she has the bonus of pectoral muscles!

How strong!

Sejuani confidently followed the two into the Dalwalli tribe camp.

But before they could see any figure, they heard several sharp screams.

"what--!!"

"My hand...my hand...!"

"Do not……!"

……

This series of wailing made the three of them instantly alert - could it be that the murderer who previously slaughtered the Avarosa tribe has come back to harm the Dalwalli clan?

"Hurry! Cheng Xiao, Sezhuangni!"

Ashe rushed in first, with the longbow in her hand drawn to its maximum.

Sejuani also untied her chain hammer, and the weapon, like a meteor hammer, spun in the air with a rustling sound.

Only Cheng Xiao didn't rush to take out her weapon.

Because he seemed to see a "familiar" figure...

He drove the Juvask boar and the two girls deeper into the tribe, and the truth behind the screams and wails came to light - it was a battle.

Well, maybe "massacre" can also be used to describe it.

A muscular man was roaring and swinging two axes, while in front of and beside him lay wounded Dalwalli warriors.

At least... sixty or seventy people.

The man was covered in blood and had all kinds of scars, big and small, including knife wounds and blunt force wounds. He didn't even know how many bones were broken. His nose and face were swollen, and he looked miserable.

But his aura was terrifying.

It also seems tireless.

There weren't many people left standing in front of him, and even if there were any, they were terrified and had no will to fight.

Ashe saw a familiar figure among the fallen warriors.

"Dalwali Battle Mother!"

"Huh?" Sejuani also looked over and saw that the arrogant Dalvarri War Mother had fallen to the ground, her chest and back covered with horrific wounds, which looked like they were all caused by axes.

One of her arms was also chopped off.

But her treatment was not interrupted, and the man she was fighting did not take the opportunity to kill her.

"Avarosan...Glenna's daughter..." Dalvarli War Mother also recognized Ashe, whom she had met once before, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up and say hello.

She stared intently at the man who was slaughtering everyone. He had single-handedly defeated all the warriors of her Dalwali clan.

They fought... for a whole day and a whole night.

From the initial head-on fight to the subsequent round-the-clock battles, and then to the current roundabout tactics... no matter how they changed their tactics, that terrible man defeated everything with just two axes.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the man did not kill everyone.

He would not hold back in battle and could cripple someone with just one blow of his axe, but he would not chase after someone and take their life while they were running away.

He was really just seeking death—seeking death in battle.

He truly deserves to be the legendary warrior who defeated the Frost Serpent...

Olaf...
