In the end, Galen did not agree with Balliard's idea. Although he knew that no matter what he did, he would not be able to affect the result Swain wanted. However, because of Balliard's behavior, the process might be a little tortuous.

…It’s always better to have less trouble.

After all, the opponent is the void that can destroy Runeterra. Whether the process is dangerous and whether the situation is critical will be known when Swain personally arrives at the Northern Territory front line. Since the last emperor of the empire was dismounted, Swain, who has a high position, is still the number one

Leaving the Immortal Fortress.

This means that Swain has to make decisions and speculations about many things here, otherwise the time spent in communicating his plan may lead to the failure of this battle with the void.

"Boss Galen, where do you want to go?"

Balliard was tired of seeing the snowy scenery of Freljord. Ice and snow, in addition to ice and snow, were "ice and snow" covered with ice and snow. They were as monotonous and unchanged as the Shadow Isles and Shurima.

For Balliard, after seeing this kind of "beautiful scenery" once, he has no desire to see it a second time. Immortals are not interested in monotonous scenes and will stay in one place for a long time, unless they have to.

, just because they are used to it.

Today is the third day. According to Swain's plan, Trundle should have been hit hard and come near them.

On the ground, there are only endless stretches of ice and snow, as well as trees that seem to be made of ice and snow. If it weren't for Galen's personal practice of splitting the trees with a big sword, Balliard really wouldn't think that Freljord would have any

Trees grow.

In the sky, the sun could not be seen. The sun had been blocked by the wind and snow, but the light was not affected. It was even transmitted by the ice crystals all over the sky, making it even more dazzling.

Everything was the same as yesterday, the same as the day before yesterday. The disappearing footsteps behind them seemed to tell them that they had not gone far, or were even staying in place? But Galen was still moving, and he took Valliard with him without knowing where he was going.

Move forward somewhere.

"I don't know either. Just take action anyway. Swain should have predicted my action."

Galen was walking on the snowy slope, looking around from time to time, trying to spot Trundle.

It's really enough. Even a former Noxian officer would not trust Swain so blindly. Balliard was still using his shadow vision to observe the surrounding area, but still did not find Trundle.

"Do you think Swain made a miscalculation? They have been destroyed by Trundle in the Howling Abyss?"

Balliard's words are not unreasonable. The opponent is the void. Even Naga Kapoulos is restrained by the void. Swain's words are not without the possibility of failure. After all, he is not a real god. It is impossible.

Be omniscient and omnipotent.

"Who knows."

Galen was too lazy to pay attention to Balliard's words that shook the morale of the army. He was a coward. Saying these words was exactly his nature. Could his constant refutations reverse Balliard's nature?

"Be careful! There is blood ahead!"

Caitlin used her rifle to see the scarlet not far away. The sky and the earth were pure white, and the scarlet was too dazzling.

"...Go and take a look, stay alert... Lux, you, Illaoi and that drunkard stay on Abbyk, while Caitlin, I, and this coward go over there."

Galen didn't know how to make a decision. There were many things that bloodstains could represent. You couldn't draw correct conclusions by just relying on guesswork, but you had to beware of traps... The Frostguard tribe had never been friendly towards the Empire, and many of them

Officials who monitored the Freljord died in the Frostguard's trap.

Caitlin went there to lead the way, but why did Galen bring Valliard there... maybe because he felt that he was too strong and would be too embarrassed to bully the enemy without bringing a burden?

"It was a girl, a girl from the Avarosa tribe. It seemed that she died in the hands of some wild beast..."

Caitlin dug out the frozen corpse under the ice and snow, and after confirming that it was not an Imperial man, she buried the girl inside. Born in the frost and died in the frost, this tradition of Freljord is exactly the same as that of Shurima.

"Why don't you save me?"

Galen put a sword on Baliard's neck, and the murderous intention that was colder than the wind and snow eroded Baliard's nerves.

"……I……"

Valyard tried hard to find an excuse. Well, this Galen is a ranger. A ranger who fights for those who cannot fight. He may not react to those who cannot protect him.

But if he failed to take advantage of the opportunity to save others, the ranger would definitely be angry.

That's right. In the shadow vision, Balliard saw how the girl fought with the snow wolf before she died, and also saw how the snow wolf tore the girl's arms apart, but what did that have to do with him?

?

The medicinal material that the girl is holding is a very precious medicinal material in the snow. It does not talk about bringing the dead back to life, but if there is a medical expert here, they can use that medicinal material to make a medicine that prolongs life.

And this kind of medicinal material is also effective against wild beasts. If you are not strong enough, you still have to rob it. No, you are stealing that kind of medicinal material. Isn't it natural to die?

"Look to the sky!"

Caitlin's Hex rifle was aimed at the sky, and the sound of the Hex rifle being reloaded interrupted Valyard's thoughts of finding excuses, and also blocked Galen's pursuit of him.

"Trundle grabbed Anivia's feet and flew through the air!"

Valyard almost thought he was going crazy. When did Trundle become so old? That's Anivia.

Is this why Swain firmly believes that they can encounter Trundle? With Anivia's size, even if they don't move at all in the past few days, they can still find Trundle.

But! No troll has that kind of size and can grab Anivia's feet. They can see Trundle grabbing Anivia's feet!

Trundle is no smaller than Anivia? This mutation is quite a big change... Balliard suddenly had the idea of ​​​​escape.

It's not like he hasn't seen what Trundle looks like, at most two to three Ryzes in height. As for why he knows - when the mysterious and unpredictable Bandle City appeared in Freljord, it had not yet joined

Piltovov's brain captured the scene of Ryze communicating with Trundle.

However, the current Trundle is at least nearly 100 meters tall! When the hammer comes down, Valliard will have to experience the feeling of being smashed into a meat pie.

"Anivia! Hold on!"

Caitlin's precise aim, coupled with her own secret - "let the bullets fly", actually shot through the four knuckles of Trundle's hand holding Anivia!

Anivia was saved, and so were they, because Valyard's shadow vision told him that Trundle was sucking Anivia's power, including the life force.

Although the ice of Freljord does not melt, Anivia will never die, but don’t forget what the void feeds on. The more Anivia’s power is absorbed, the more Anivia will be.

The Trundle they will face later becomes even more powerful.

Trundle's nearly 100-meter-high body fell toward them! Trundle's body, which fell at high speed, rubbed against the wind and snow in the sky, and even ignited the wind and snow. The purple flame seemed to ignite the entire sky.

"Run!" Galen's command was still so simple and effective, and it was almost exactly the same as when they jumped out of the car after encountering Anivia's attack.

It’s just that Anivia’s attack threw away a large piece of ice, and now it’s a large “piece” of troll, which also came from Anivia. This Freljord spirit body is really

It will cause trouble for them.

Not to mention whether he would be hit by the falling Trundle, if the flames wrapped around Trundle, burning with wind and snow, were even a little bit contaminated by them, it would not be easy.

"Bang--"

Trundle's fall set off a wave of snow, which was ignited by the flames around Trundle and turned into a strange flaming nova, heading towards Balliard and the others.

"Oh - my God, the curved light barrier!"

After seeing the huge object in the sky, Lux and others had already rushed over. She looked at the roaring flames and cast her own spell. A huge shield enveloped Valliad and the others.

It was as if the flames from the outside world could not cause any harm to them.

"We... won't be roasted, right?"

There was no harm, it was just an illusion. Balliard, who was staying at the edge of the barrier, could still feel it.

It was hot, not warm, but painful. In his impression, it seemed that some food was made in this way.

Put the raw materials into the iron pipe, block the upper and lower openings, bake them on the fire, and then the delicious food will pop out. As for why it can still pop out after blocking the outlet, Balliard can only say -

-That's the charm of magic.

"Don't worry, my magic won't... it should be fine, right?"

When Lux was about to seal the deal, cracks appeared on the curved light barrier. From the very beginning, it continued to spread. After more than ten seconds, the entire curved light barrier was like a mirror that had been broken but was still firmly stuck in the frame.

.

However, this situation did not last long. A small piece of broken "mirror" disappeared, and the fire wave got in through the gap. Now they can neither let Lux remove the barrier nor let Lux

Continue to maintain the barrier.

dilemma.

If the barrier is removed, they will have to face the entire sea of ​​fire. The purple flames seem to be inseparable from the void. How could Balliard and the others put themselves in danger? But if they don't leave, the flames that seep in will

, will also turn them into ashes bit by bit.

"The storm is with me..."

With a whisper and a cry, the flames in the void suddenly disappeared.

"Anivia... sacrificed herself?"

Caitlin took off her top hat and held the Hex rifle in her hand tighter, which made Valyard feel frightened.

The rifle is not a sword. If you hold it so hard, what if it goes off? Can you please stop pointing the gun at him?

"For Runeterra, for Anivia, deal with this monster!"

Galen picked up the rune sword, ran and jumped quickly, and gave Trundle a brain-destroying blow on the head. However, Trundle blocked it with his huge club.

"Human again? Just tonight, I feel like eating!"

Trundle bared his teeth at Galen. If Galen's head were enlarged fifty or sixty times, it is estimated that these two guys would be a "good match".

"Want something to eat?"
