Faan had personally experienced the power of the Frostguard in previous battles. Each soldier was equipped with a True Icicle suit. Although their True Icicle weapons were contaminated, having voluntarily sacrificed their souls, they no longer feared the contamination and were able to maximize the full power of those contaminated True Icicle weapons.
Unafraid of death or cold, able to harness ice magic to strengthen and kill enemies, this army, cultivated by Lissandra for thousands of years, could easily conquer the Freljord, though it wouldn't have been able to do so entirely.
Especially with the large number of Frost Priests and Frozen Thralls... If others don't know this, surely Faan doesn't? In League of Legends, those Frozen Thralls sealed in ice tombs never cost less than 7 mana to summon (out of a full mana). They were carefully selected by Lissandra herself, to serve as the vanguard for the next Void invasion.
Of the three sisters, Winter's Claw, Kokia, had just returned, leaving much to be done. Avarosa was doing okay, having not risked the Horde's luck by leading everyone to the Ancient Frostmouth, instead letting Faan lead the charge, so the losses weren't too great. But that was just okay, that's all. Lissandra, with her control of the Frostguard and the Frost Priests, was the strongest, both in terms of power and influence.
In this situation, Lissandra still gave up most of her power...
"In fact, if Lissandra just argues, Ashe will back down."
Although they lack the mysterious connection of the three sisters' bloodlines, Faan still analyzed: "Because Lissandra's power is a huge boost to the newly formed United Horde. The prestige of the Frost Priests among the Hearthborn alone can indirectly influence the decisions of many War Mothers of small and medium-sized tribes, reducing many unnecessary conflicts."
"But Lissandra agreed directly..."
After a moment of silence, Faan sighed and said, "Ashe is a person who treats others with sincerity. She is happy when others are happy, and sad when others are sad. Lissandra's purity has shaken Ashe's inner disgust..."
"..."
After waiting for a while, Faan noticed that the actor beside him was silent. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sejuani. He saw Sejuani looking at him with a look of shock.
"Uh...what's wrong?"
"Do you think there's a possibility that the three Hanbing sisters have a younger brother?"
Sejuani and Faan stared at each other.
"I don't know about that, but there does need to be a shared blood alliance now."
Fine shrugged. "The kind you don't even need to scan when you use it at home."
Sejuani: "Then how did you come up with such a coherent analysis? Damn it, thinking the way you said, Ashe's mental fluctuations do seem to be like this. Hostility, doubt, confusion, and vacillation..."
Faan pointed his thumb at himself, flashing the confident smile of a swordsman. "No matter how low I go, I'm still a professional hunter. Ecology, symbiotic biology, isn't that amazing?"
"I don't understand, but you're right. Let's go."
When we reached the top of Gushuangkou, we saw a solitary stone tomb.
Seeing the stone cairn, Sejuani narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is this the throne of Avarosa? Is it real? It's too shabby, isn't it?"
No wonder Sejuani said that, because this place is indeed very shabby.
The edge of the peak of Gu Shuangkou is a rugged mountain wall. Inside the mountain wall is a smooth ice surface covered with white snow that has not yet melted. In the center, a lonely and messy stone tomb stands abruptly.
Although it is very tall, it is nothing like the legendary gorgeousness.
"This is where my sister Avarosa disappeared."
Lissandra's voice was cold and quiet as she spoke, "I know Avarosa's legacy lives here, and I've been here countless times... But whether I came here in person or as part of the arduous journey of those seeking the legend, I haven't sensed Avarosa's presence."
"In the spiritual realm."
Allura came over, glanced at Lissandra, then turned her gaze to Faan and said, "Faan, you felt it too, right?"
"Yeah, I can almost feel it."
Nodding, Faan increased the output of his Mad Dragon Factor. As his senses continued to activate, the feeling that all the nerves in his body were spreading outward, growing, and filling the entire space returned.
But unlike last time, this time, just before Faan was about to get lost in these overlapping spiritual realms, Miss Rabbit nimbly leaped from the material realm into the spiritual realm. Then, she took Faan's hand and said, "I'll take you, and you take them."
"it is good!"
As he spoke, Faan extended his other hand to Sejuani, who was standing beside him. Seeing this, Sejuani didn't hesitate, but instead grabbed his hand and then extended it to Ashe. Ashe grabbed it, and after a moment of silence, she extended her hand to Lissandra.
"..."
There was a brief silence, and then Lissandra said calmly, "Do you really want me to go?"
"Don't you want to see what your sister left behind?"
Ash asked back.
Lissandra nodded silently, then reached out and placed her hand on Ashe's.
If even I can forgive him... this child might really be able to bring revival to the Freljord.
"..."
Sejuani smacked her lips and couldn't help but say, "Um... Lissandra, have you forgotten that we can hear each other's general thoughts here?"
Lissandra: "...Yeah."
There was a brief silence, and the voice suddenly turned cold.
Sejuani rolled her eyes at Lissandra in front of Ashe, making herself look ridiculous. Ashe, on the other hand, only chuckled a few times and then sighed inwardly.
She still hated Lissandra, but Lissandra...
"Uh...we're still sharing..."
Sejuani warned quietly.
"I know……"
Ashe was about to speak, but then she was deeply shocked by Gu Shuangkou's appearance in the spiritual realm.

Chapter 89: Show off.
Although it is called the spiritual realm, in fact, there is a large amount of matter in the spiritual realm. However, in most cases, the spiritual realm is intertwined with the material world in a special spatial structure.
And now, he had entered the spiritual realm of Gu Shuangkou. The originally lifeless and empty Gu Shuangkou now appeared more magnificent than he could imagine in the spiritual realm.
The spiritual realm here seemed to have fallen into an endless night. Although it was still noon in the material realm, in the spiritual realm, the sky was a deep dark blue, dotted with colorful auroras.
A soft light descended from the sky, filtering through the palace's True Ice, casting a shadow upon the solemn hall. A staircase of ice-covered stone led to the towering palace, its doors tightly shut, the cold gleam of cast iron intimidating. The towering palace, illuminated by the aurora, seemed even more solemn. Within this realm, a boundless loneliness enveloped the hearts of the people. In the square before the palace, rows of empty suits of armor stood in rows. These sets of True Ice armor, taken outside, would be enough for any tribe to wage war. Yet, now, they stood in a suffocating silence.
"Rangers of Avarosa."
Lissandra explained: "The best archer on this ice plain can easily shoot a falcon's eyes..."
As she spoke, Lissandra suddenly shut up. Meanwhile, Ashe, having already donned her fair share of armor, headed for the only palace inside. Pushing open the door, she saw nothing else inside except a rather plain-looking True Ice Longbow.
As she placed her hand on the True Ice Longbow, a look of pain appeared on Ashe's face.
Although Ashe appeared very strong when confronting Lissandra, in fact, until now, Ashe has not yet fully awakened her ice bloodline.
Lissandra, watching this, didn't seem angry. Instead, she said calmly, "Avarosa's personality is completely different from mine and Serilda's. If she stayed behind as a test, then it certainly wasn't for the sake of bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Ashe did not say anything, but placed her hand on the Zhenbing Longbow and closed her eyes without saying a word.
At this moment, Ashe thought a lot. Ever since she could remember, she had been trained by the Oath Fathers.
Although I felt immense pain during the workout, looking back now, these memories from the past are truly beautiful. Why am I here? Is it to have a better life?
No, it wasn't, it was never for this, nor was it to make the people of Avarosa struggle through every winter like they had in the past, and then immediately prepare for the next cold winter.
Their sisters, who had the same father and mother, had clearly been born and had clearly cried loudly, but both their mother and father had indifferent expressions... Just as they had expected, their sisters did not live to see their naming day in the spring and summer of the following year.
Being born is not living, but living till your naming day is considered a real life.
She was the child of a war mother, and if this was the case, what about her future self? Ashe knew her mother was a forgiving person. It was this land that shaped everyone into someone who could watch a child die in winter with indifference, sighing only slightly before once again devoting themselves to the hardship of life with perseverance and indifference.
I couldn't accept it. I couldn't watch the child of Faan and I die in the cold winter. Even more so, I couldn't accept myself becoming the kind of person who could look at my child with indifference and say to others, "He hasn't lived to see his name day yet, so he doesn't count." Such cruel and indifferent words.
No, not just me, but no one should...
Thinking in her heart, Ashe opened her eyes again, and her ice-blue eyes became deeper and more determined.
It was at this moment that the True Ice Longbow lost all resistance, allowing Ashe to grip it tightly and pick it up.
A chill spread, a surging wind caressing Ashe's face. Her long golden hair fluttered in the wind, and with a flicker of icy blue in her eyes, Ashe's dazzling golden hair was dyed a pure silver-white by the magic of True Ice at an astonishing speed.
"I want to change this land!"
Through the shared senses of the three sisters, Sejuani clearly felt Ashe's mental journey. Although she didn't know the details, she still said loudly: "Don't worry, Ashe! I will help you!"
Lissandra: "..."
Although she didn't speak, Ashe could feel Lissandra's heart - still calm, with only love for this land, as well as strong guilt and self-blame.
If Ashe couldn't quite understand many of Lissandra's actions before, now she more or less understands them.
Simply put, I'm scared.
Having caused such a tragedy with his own hands, he has been troubled by nightmares for thousands of years and has been unable to sleep peacefully even once... The guilt and self-blame in his heart continued to grow, and finally turned into a deformed paranoia. He refused to let anyone get close to him and insisted on solving these problems in his own way.
It's hard to say Lissandra was wrong. For the past several thousand years, she's indeed protected the Freljord's humans—by demarcating their hunting grounds through alliances with the primitive demigods. By erasing history through the burning of books and burying of scholars. By uniting humanity within the three sisters' faith. By using frost priests as spies and the Frostguard to suppress the various tribes... It's a fair assessment that her merits and demerits are equally shared.
It's just that Ashe never believed in the idea of offsetting merits and demerits - but Ashe was willing to believe that it was better for a person to reform than to kill them all with one stroke.
Except for those truly unforgivable crimes.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the quiver on Ashe's waist breaking.
Looking down, the three-pronged True Ice bow slowly rose into the air, its prongs converging into a single, sharp arrowhead. The surging energy tore through the iron covering of the True Ice, revealing its true form—a crystal-clear, icy blue.
"It's about to begin."
Ashe looked up at Sejuani.
It was at this moment that a phantom spirit that had been famous for a long time appeared behind Sejuani.
"It stems from Avarosa's unrealistic dream before her death, which was that the three sisters would reconcile."
"To connect the souls of all Freljordians, to announce the return of the Ice Sisters and... a new revolution."
"Oh! You mean everyone in the Freljord will see and hear what's going to happen next?"
Sejuani laughed excitedly: "It's really going to be a big hit!"
"Yes."
As she spoke, Ashe controlled the arrow, and an icy blue trajectory shot out from the Ancient Frostmouth of the Freljord, heading west, passing through the vast ice field, and entering the dreams and consciousness of all Freljord people through the medium of the spiritual realm.

Chapter 90 Server-wide broadcast.
Noxus border, Ironthorn Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, Sokota looked indifferently at the snowfield in the distance - in fact, it was not far away, because if he walked a few kilometers forward, he would enter the territory of Freljord.
Although Freljord lacked a unified government, everyone knew where the border was. The countless icy spells swirling in the cold wind could easily freeze anyone who entered unprepared.
"Boss, are you really from the Freljord?"
A new recruit in black steel armor looked at Sokota curiously.
"But I've heard that the Freljord doesn't value the Horde very much. Why do you..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Glancing coldly at the new recruit, Sokota gave the impression that he was difficult to approach. But in fact, in the military camp of the Iron Thorn Mountains, Sokota was very respected.
Just like now, after scolding the new recruits, Sokota noticed something, frowned, squatted down, untied the knee pads on the soldiers' legs, and then tied them up again with layers of animal skins and fabrics, and stuffed them into the boots after making sure they were airtight.
"Dress up, or your feet will turn to ice when the Freljord wind blows through."
Sokota said coldly, "Steel cannot protect you from the Freljord's cold winds, and I don't want to chop off another new recruit's frozen feet with my own hands."
"Ah? Ah, okay, okay!"
Seeing Sokota's ruthless appearance, the new recruits were afraid and moved away, causing the veterans beside him to laugh.
"I knew this new recruit would get a lesson! The Sokota are notoriously unkind!"
"Hey, you can't blame Sokota. After all, the Freljord is really cold. During the previous march, I saw people freeze while peeing. When the cold wind blew, they immediately lost consciousness, and they kept crying and shouting and refused to let go!"
"Yeah, luckily Sokota had experience. He asked everyone to form a circle to block the wind, then poured dozens of hot urine on it and wiped it dry. That's how it was saved."
"I thought it would just snap off like a toe."
"That's not the way to do it!"
"By the way, why did Sergeant Sokota join Noxus?"
Another recruit asked, "Don't Freljordans value tribes?"
Hearing this, several veterans glanced at the new recruits, then at the sergeant major who was gazing out at the icy plains, and whispered, "Because the sergeant major's tribe was destroyed, leaving only a few women and children with him, he came to us and joined Noxus..."
"Ah? The Sergeant Major's martial arts are so powerful..."
