"You didn't control success." Sejuani patted the bristles and walked into her tent, "and anger is uncontrollable."

Many of the Freljord's spirit walkers attribute the beast's power to rage.

They were wrong.

Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth messenger

Sejuani's tent was full of things, mostly the heads and pelts of wild beasts, as well as some weapons like spears and battle axes, each of which was a trophy from the destruction of other tribes.

Sejuani sat down on the deerskin blanket, poured herself a bowl of mead, and drank it, the liquor overflowing the corner of her mouth and slid down her chin.

"Ha..." Sejuani let out a long sigh, as if to spit out all the unhappiness, "Why is it so difficult for me to find a blood alliance."

"Your requirements are too high." Udyr sat cross-legged on the side of the tent. "I think there are many good men in the tribe. They are full of vitality and will definitely have strong offspring with you."

"What's the use of light energy?" Sejuani sneered, "My mother eloped with you after giving birth to such a healthy me, leaving a little girl to fantasize about what her parents looked like all day."

A deep guilt flashed in Udyr's eyes. He didn't try to explain it to Sejuani, because he knew it was useless. Udyr could only use his life to make up for Sejuani. This is like trying to be a daughter. The war mother looked at.

"Hmph..." Sejuani looked at Udyr, who was silent, and poured herself a bowl of mead again, "In short, I don't want a weak blood alliance, I must be strong enough, a perfect blood alliance, I would rather lack than waste."

"Why did you do this?" Udyr tried to ask Sejuani's insistence.

Sejuani didn't answer, she just thought of a hateful face before her eyes.

That **** boy named Lothar, weak, disabled, and only clever, became Ashe's blood ally, which made Ashe become weak.

"That wolf cub..." Sejuani didn't want to drink any more wine, and slammed the bowl on the table.

Udyr the wolf cub was puzzled.

"It's nothing..." Sejuani calmed the anger in her chest, "In short, the blood alliance I want can't be worse than me, even if it is not stronger than me, and swearing with weak people will only make me also become. weak!"

Udyr doesn't think that's the case. When he was practicing in Ionia, he saw many couples and couples with very different personalities. The Ionians believe that the complementarity of their personalities can make the family more fulfilling. This is in line with their traditional concept of "yin and yang".

But Udyr knew she wouldn't listen to what he told Sejuani about the Ionians, so he shut up wisely.

The matter of the blood alliance was put aside for the time being, and Sejuani said with a somewhat relieved expression: "There were fewer people in the tribe who were frozen to death last winter, which is good news."

"Well..." Udyr nodded, "The number of beasts has also increased. It doesn't seem to be an illusion. The Freljord has indeed warmed up a bit."

"This is a good thing, I hope Anivia can keep it up." Sejuani said, "Since we don't lose a lot in winter, I plan to increase the size of the raiding team this year."

"Against the Noxians?"

"For the Avarosans."

Udyr knew what Sejuani would say: "The Avarosa tribes don't have as much food to loot as the Noxians."

"I know, but because of this, the looting of Avarossa is harder than the looting of Noxus." Sejuani's eyes were full of war, "There are as many Noxians as guinea pigs. It can't be finished or looted. After burning their village they can build a new one next year. But Avarosa, as long as we loot successfully, we can wipe them out completely, their food will be less and less, and the winter's Cold can help me kill them."

Udyr looked at Sejuani, and Udyr remembered that she was a skinny little girl when she was very young, and her eyes were full of confusion and fear of the world.

And now, Sejuani is strong, speaking with a calm face about her plan to take the lives of others.

Udyr didn't know whether this growth was good or bad, because he wasn't by Sejuani's side when she was growing up, and Udyr didn't think he had the right to say anything about Sejuani's decision, and, now Sejuani is the mother of war.

"I see." Udyr said, although he didn't really want to go to war with Avarosa, but as a Freljorder, he was used to fighting and looting each other, "I will join forces with other beast spirit walkers. Together, tame more Juvasque boars and wargs for the raiders."

"Okay." Sejuani nodded in satisfaction, trusting Udyr's abilities.

The two were discussing some details of the raiding team, and a rough and hoarse female voice came from outside the tent: "Warmother Sejuani, it's me, Freina."

"Come in."

The one who walked into the tent was a burly middle-aged woman with scars all over her face.

[Scar Mother] Freyna, one of the strongest iceborn in Winter's Claw.

Freyna half-kneeled in front of Sejuani and said solemnly, "Mother of War, we found a sneaky Noxian outside the camp."

"Noxian?" Sejuani and Udyr were a little surprised. Their current location is the hinterland of the Freljord, where the towering snow-capped mountains and endless ice fields are located, very far from the northern border of Noxus. Far away, the Noxians couldn't stand the cold and head north.

"She is the only one, there is no army, and the beast spirit walkers have investigated, and she is indeed the only one." Freina continued, "She said she was coming to see you, Mother of War."

"See me." Sejuani put her hand on her lap, thinking for a moment, "Bring her up."

"Yes!" Fleena walked out of the tent, and after a while, she walked in with a tied woman.

The woman had a very rare long embroidered red hair, and her body looked so thin that Sejuani felt that she could break the woman's waist with one punch.

But the woman's eyes are very interesting. There is a vertical scar on one of her eyes, indicating that she has experienced combat, and she did not show the slightest nervousness or fear in front of Sejuani, but was content. He looked at everything in the tent, and finally settled on Sejuani.

"Who are you?" Sejuani didn't despise the woman in front of her. Someone who can travel through the snowy mountains and tundra alone must be capable.

"Katrina." The woman said her name directly.

Sejuani and Udyr looked at each other. This was not the name of the Freljord, and the woman seemed to be an alien indeed.

Katarina came to Winter's Claw alone. She was no longer the embarrassed look she had when she first came to the Freljord. At that time, she was so contemptuous of the Freljord's cold that she almost froze to death, but She made adequate preparations to cross the ice field this time, and arrived at her destination unharmed.

Katarina was looking at Sejuani at this time. The mother of the Winter's Claw was not as fierce as she thought. On the contrary, Sejuani was still a beautiful woman, and she was very young, probably about the same age as herself. A silver hair was tied behind her head, and she was wearing heavy armor that ordinary women could never wear, enough to see her strength.

Katarina only knows another person who also wears heavy armor on a daily basis, that is [Hand of Noxus] Darius, Sejuani gives Katarina a very similar feeling to Darius—— Experienced in hundreds of battles, perseverance and strong.

"You said you wanted to see me." Sejuani looked at the red-haired woman with equal curiosity, "I would like to hear what a foreigner's war mother wants to do when she sees Winter's Claw."

"Seeking an alliance." Katarina expressed her appeal very directly. "I am a messenger, and I hope to fight against the Frost Guard with the Claws of Winter."

"Frost Guard" Sejuani narrowed her eyes.

Sejuani was not afraid of anything, but even as she became a war mother, she still couldn't understand the purpose of the Frostguard.

The Frost Guard will send Frost Priests to various tribes to provide medical and divination assistance, but they often send out warriors in jet-black frost armor to slaughter recklessly, and their purpose is never to compete for territory or to **** food, as if they just want to kill .

"Well... the Frost Guard is indeed a problem..." Udyr said to Sejuani, "Last year we also suffered a lot from the Frost Guard."

"Not only that, the Frost Guards also have trolls." Katarina continued, "Avarosa has been attacked by trolls once, and each troll has the mark of the Frost Guards."

"Trolls!" The expressions of Sejuani, Udyr, and Freyna became serious at the same time. If Katarina said it, the Frost Guard and the troll tribe would be a formidable enemy that had to be guarded.

Sejuani clenched her fingers. "You said Avarossa was attacked by trolls? How do you know?"

"Because I'm here on behalf of Avarossa." Katarina said succinctly, "Warmother Ashe hopes to have an interview with Winter's Claw Warmother Sejuani to discuss the fight against the Frost Guard."

The air in the tent suddenly cooled down.

"What did you say?" Sejuani sulked. "You weren't from Noxus! You were from Avarossa!"

"Don't be so angry." Katarina shrugged indifferently, "It doesn't matter who wants to ally with you, the key is to deal with the Frost Guard..."

Snapped!

Sejuani's hand slammed **** the table, almost smashing it: "Aishie dares to send messengers over! Do you think I didn't kill enough messengers to kill her!"

Katerina raised her eyebrows slightly and said in her heart, "Sure enough, as Ashe said, this guy hates Avarosa."

"Warmother Sejuani." Even when she heard that Sejuani was going to kill her, Katarina showed no sign of panic, "I don't know what feud you have with Avarosa, but the Frostguard and the trolls Don't care about these, they have already raided Avarosa many times, and the Claws of Winter must be the same. Compared to Avarossa, who yearns for peace, the Frost Guard should be the enemy you have to deal with!"

"Winter's Claw will never ally with the cowards of Avarossa!" Sejuani almost growled as she kicked the table, walked towards Katarina, and reached out to grab her neck.

"Sejuani!" A large hand grabbed Sejuani's wrist, it was Udyr, he stopped, "Don't let anger consume you!"

"Don't preach to me here! Udyr!" Sejuani pushed Udyr away angrily, and she put her hand around Katarina's neck, pulling her face close to her, "Noxian, I don't know what trick Ashe used to turn you into a messenger, but whatever she uses, Winter's Claw will never be with cowards!"

Katarina was tied, and it seemed that there was no possibility of resistance. She was strangled by Sejuani, her neck flushed, and she gritted her teeth: "You said... Ashe is a coward..."

"Isn't it?" Sejuani's hand tightened. "The Avarosans don't pillage, they don't fight! How do they survive in the Freljord! They're incompetent rabbits! They only eat fat. Then they are killed by wolves! This is the fate of weakness! Wolves don't get along with rabbits!"

"Avarosa..." Katerina rolled her eyes, her body was struggling, and she had gradually started to lack oxygen, "Avarosa...not as you think...so...weak..."

"Really?" Sejuani grinned, "Then why you, the messenger of Avarossa, have no resistance in my hands like a rabbit?"

"She's tied up." Udyr became more and more worried about Sejuani's current emotional state. "You give her first..."

"Shut up! Udyr!" Sejuani yelled. "You're not my father! Even if you were! You don't have the right to say anything to me!"

Udyr was stuck in his throat, and as Sejuani had said, he was unqualified.

"Woo!" Katerina's eyes turned completely white, her hands and feet hung down weakly, and her breathing had stopped.

"Humph!" Katerina's death seemed to calm Sejuani a little, she threw Katerina on the ground and said to Freina, who was watching everything silently, "Throw her to feed. Beast, don't let me see her body, bad luck."

"Yes." Freina crouched down and lifted Katarina up.

Sejuani turned around and looked at Udyr who bowed her head in silence, realizing that what she said just now might be a little heavy, with a little apology on her face: "Udyr, I just..."

"Warmother!" Fraena's exclamation came from behind Sejuani.

Before Sejuani could turn around, a cold blade was pressed against her neck.

"Barbarians are rough, and you can't guard against such a superficial method of assassination." Katerina's sarcasm said from the back of Sejuani's head.

"Bastard!" Freina was furious, and she came over to catch Katarina.

"Hey! Your war mother is in my hands now!" Katarina warned, "If I remember correctly, she doesn't have a daughter yet. If you don't want Winter's Claw to break up because there is no war mother, leave me. Further!"

The scars on Freyna's face were shaking like worms. She wanted to tear Katerina into tens of thousands of pieces. Everything was her fault. She didn't find out that there was a knife hidden on Katarina's body. Katarina had already untied the ropes that bound her, and she didn't realize that Katarina was feigning death just now by acting.

Udyr frowned and looked at Katarina with a more cautious look. Just now, the red-haired female assassin burst out from the ground and jumped behind Sejuani at a speed that Udyr couldn't even react to, and held him hostage. With her, the explosive force was somewhat similar to the monks Udyr had seen in Ionia.

Sejuani's eyes were cold, she could feel the blade sinking into her own flesh, Katarina fully demonstrated the deterrent power of the blade in her hand, and Sejuani's throat would be cut off with even the slightest movement.

"Heh..." Sejuani laughed without fear, "It seems that Ashe has indeed found a good messenger this time."

"Thank you for the compliment." Katarina's blade sank deep into Sejuani's flesh. It was obviously a very sharp knife, but Katarina controlled her power so well that she didn't even cut through Sejuani's skin. But Katarina herself was also surprised. Sejuani had been kidnapped by her, but she didn't do anything. She was so calm that she was completely different from the mother-in-law who had just murdered furiously.

"Well, you've won Ashe a chance." Sejuani said calmly, "After March, at Eagle Hill, I'll interview her and tell her to come."

Katarina's knife was still against Sejuani.

"You can go, no one will stop you in Winter's Claw." Sejuani glanced at Fleena, "You know?"

Although her eyes could kill Katarina 10,000 times, Freina suppressed the anger in her heart: "Yes... the mother of war..."

"I'm starting to like you." Katerina chuckled, "but I still don't believe you will let me go. You just strangled me just now."

"Then how do you believe it?" Sejuani sneered, "Do you want me to order the entire Winter's Claw to tie themselves up?"

Katarina smiled playfully, the sharp blade in her hand was a little unstable.

"This woman is the mother-in-law of Winter's Claw... the culprit who has repeatedly invaded Noxus..." Katarina wanted to stab the knife in her heart to remove a great enemy for Noxus, "But... The High Commander asked me to team up with Avarosa and Winter's Claw to deal with the Frost Guard, if I kill her..."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Katerina let go of Sejuani.

Neither Udyr nor Freyna suddenly attacked Katarina, but Freyna's face was rather unkind.

"Then the mother of war, Sejuani, I'll leave." Katerina smiled and walked away from the tent.

Sejuani twisted her neck and said to Udyr, "What do you think?"

Udyr said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the Noxians to penetrate into the Freljord. The storms of Anivia will stop them. She is indeed the messenger of Avarosa."

"Warmother." Fraena approached Sejuani, "Are you really going to talk to Avarossa?"

"The Frost Guard is indeed a threat," Sejuani said. "Every year the Frost Guard kills us no less than the cold. Maybe this is an opportunity."

"What chance?" Freina was puzzled.

"A chance to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf." Sejuani touched the place where the blade had just been held against it. "Didn't Ashe want to unify the Freljord? But in the end, it will be me."

"Fortunately, I held back and didn't kill Sejuani. It seems that I am also growing."

Chapter five hundred and eighty where the wolf goes

Lothar stood alone in the snow.

The cold wind of the Freljord engulfed him, and everything seemed so vast.

On the pale ground, a woman in a long skirt slowly walked towards Lothar.

Lissandra.

"Your subordinates took my child." Lothar said straight to Lissandra, "Give it back to me."

Lissandra's voice was still the same: "It's not in our business scope."

"You mean to say no?"
