Establishing a kingdom is not a simple matter and requires a lot of time and materials. However, if Darius establishes a nomadic kingdom with no fixed territory and no fixed housing buildings, it will not take long.

The barbarians will more or less herd some livestock, but herding is mostly a privilege enjoyed by powerful tribes. After all, grazing livestock requires taking them to various places to graze. Once they meet people from other tribes, if the strength of their own tribe is

If you are not strong, these animals will no longer belong to you.

In the name of Darius, nearby tribes came to surrender one after another. In addition, the scene of Anivia's dispatch that day was really eye-catching. The barbarian patrols of those tribes who investigated the reason found Darius.

Darius, and believed that Darius had returned.

This time, more tribes surrendered to Darius's Kingdom of Noxus.

The establishment of Noxus in the Freljord was a very novel experience for Darius.

In just one week, the population under Darius, the people of the Kingdom of Noxus, had reached tens of thousands.

"Seas, come here."

At this time, Darius was looking at the map of Freljord in the tent, and looking at the approximate territory of other forces on this map.

"King, do you have anything for me to do?"

Seaas is currently the captain of Darius' personal guard. Although he is not a transcendent, he is the first barbarian Darius encounters. He is a powerful warrior with a very determined will.

As for those extraordinary ones, there are currently only a few in Darius's kingdom. He has arranged various places to prepare for the unification of the tribes. Since a kingdom is to be established, the various tribes in the kingdom cannot be separated.

live.

After all, it is just a kingdom with tens of thousands of people. Living together makes it easy to manage, and the food problem can be solved by Darius alone.

"Go to Avarosa, give this letter to Ashe, and tell Ashe that the area east of this line is the territory of our kingdom. In addition, we are willing to form an alliance with them to fight against the Winter."

claw."

Baliard said that there will be problems in the Freljord, and the void will instigate the forces on the Freljord to attack the empire, provoking greater chaos and thus fishing in troubled waters.

Darius carefully considered the major forces on the Freljord. The two forces most likely to attack the empire were the Winter's Claws and the Ursines.

Winter's Claw is a predator and a typical nomadic force. Darius is planning to develop his kingdom into a nomadic force for a while to enhance the cohesion of the kingdom. In the process of nomadicism, he will train these cubs to improve the kingdom's combat effectiveness.

.

"Kingdom of Avarosa? King, your line has occupied a lot of land in Avarosa. If you make such a request, will Ashe agree?"

Seaas did not open the letter, but he followed Darius's hand and looked at the line that Darius drew on the map. Every tribe would have a copy of the map, although it was not like Darius.

The map in Si's hand is so perfect, but he can still tell the location based on the direction of the rivers in some areas.

Darius's excessive demands, in Seaas's view, were almost equivalent to declaring war on Avarosa.

Avarosa is the largest country in the Freljord, with a vast territory and a well-trained and large army.

Even Winter's Claw, the number of troops is far inferior to that of Avarosa.

In other words, Avarosa's tribe was too big, and its territory was too large, so it had to set up defenses in various places. As a result, it was impossible to summon all the troops every time it fought against Winter's Claw.

Because the territory is large, it means there are many enemies.

The Freljord is not just a land of barbarians.

This is the land with the most ancient creatures and the most ancient civilizations.

Even today, there are still many creatures from the end of the Gods' age surviving in the Freljord, and some are still living as a population in some unknown corner of the Freljord.

Even if we don't mention those ancient creatures, the trolls, beasts, and those snow monsters living in Freljord are not peaceful masters.

Once they don't have enough food, they will come out to trouble Avarosa, and this time happens to be the time when the Winter's Claw army goes south to plunder.

No matter how powerful Avarosa is, there is no chance to gather all the troops to deal with the Winter's Claw. On the other hand, the Winter's Claw is a nomadic tribe. They go south in winter and north in spring, taking away everything along the way. Which ancient ethnic group

Dare to challenge Winter's Claw? They are always in peak condition.

"She will agree and such an agreement can bring peace."

Darius knew very well what kind of trouble the Avarosa tribe would get into in a place like Freljord after it became a kingdom. The land he asked Avarosa to cede was actually far away from Avarosa.

It is the control center of Sha, and there are also many small tribes gathered there.

The Avarosa tribe spends a lot of energy every year to protect those small tribes. Darius wants those lands, and those small tribes are his people, and he has to gather them here.

It reduces Avarosa's burden and increases his own strength. This is a win-win agreement.

Moreover, Ashe herself is a peace-loving person. Her purpose of becoming queen should also be to bring peace and stability to Freljord.

"Then I'll do it right now."

Their Kingdom of Noxus is far away from the Kingdom of Avarosa, and it would take ten days to go back and forth. If they encounter obstacles such as trolls on the way, it will be delayed even longer.

After Seaas heard Darius' affirmative words, he had no other unnecessary thoughts. It was not that he didn't trust Darius in the first place, but as Darius's guard captain, he needed to confirm that Darius

Whether Si made the wrong decision, he was not asking Darius on his own behalf, but as a "memo" and a "prompt" to ask Darius.

The purpose... can be said to be to "check for omissions and fill in the gaps".

Every time Darius made a decision, he would ask whether he should do so. In fact, his approach did make Darius discover several trivial mistakes on his part.

"Go ahead."

Darius was thinking about other questions and responded to Seas casually.

He was wondering whether he should communicate with Ornn. If there was anyone on the Freljord who would stop Volibear's actions, it would be Ornn.

But no matter what, these two people are brothers. Under the arrangement of the Void, the Empire provoked Volibear, and Aoun would not help outsiders, right?

It seems necessary to inform Ornn that Void may make some small moves to make Ornn pay attention to Volibear's situation.

As for Anivia, there is no need to count on it, that is the incarnation of Freljord. The barbarians on Freljord hate humans very much, even if she herself will not leave Freljord.

Dealing with those Imperials, but it was unlikely that she could stop Volibear from causing trouble for the Imperials.

Moreover, he was not sure whether he could contact Anivia. She was indeed the incarnation of Freljord. Logically speaking, everything that happened on Freljord could not be hidden from her, but that was just a theory.

According to legend and the experience of Ryze and several other archmages, Anivia spends most of her life sleeping, and she will not wake up if there is no special movement.

This is also the reason why Darius fought with those barbarians for so long before attracting Anivia's attention.

Therefore, even if Darius stands on the land of Freljord and talks to Anivia by name, Anivia may not be able to hear it, and if Darius himself does not receive a response,

How does he confirm that Anivia has received his message?

It would be more reliable to contact Aoun.

But, where is Luxiang?

He picked up his ID card and made a video call with Valliard.

"I heard that you stopped the conspiracy of the void in Freljord. Do you know where Hearth is?"

To get straight to the point, Darius didn't want to waste too much time by talking nonsense. There were still many things for him to do in this country, and many systems were not perfect. The more he got involved in these things, the more he understood that Svi

Because this guy is so terrifying.

"Hearth? You're looking for Ornn. Do you have a map? I'll point it out to you."

Valyard did not wait for Darius's answer. After all, Furnace Country was a place where Ornn's label was too profound.

When people think of Freljord, they think of Anivia; when they think of Noxus, they think of Darius and Swain; when they think of Ionia, they have to talk about Anivia's twin dragons.

, and when it comes to Mount Targon, it is difficult to avoid the Rakkor tribe and the Solar Cult.

The same is true for Furnace Township. When people mention Furnace Township, their first reaction is to Ornn, the god of casting and craftsmanship, rather than the mortals who once followed Ornn in Furnace Township.

"This is the map, you seem to be in a hurry?"

Darius took the ID card to the table and waited for Valyard to point him to the location of Hearth.

"From this valley, head northeast to Furnace Township. However, Ornn may not stay there. The flame in Furnace Township has been extinguished. He is looking for a new furnace. There is no chance that you will find Ornn in Furnace Township.

Gao, if you are looking for Ornn, I suggest you ask in the village near Furnace Township. Ornn will not hide his figure. Maybe someone has seen the goat-headed guy."

After Baliard finished speaking, he hung up the call. There was indeed trouble on his side.

Ten days have come and the will of that place has dissipated. However, when they returned to the place where they separated before and planned to take Li Qing to deal with the void, Li Qing disappeared, and there were some demon clan footprints on the ground.

.

"There are not many people, not counting the monsters that can fly or jump on the trees, there are only about ten, and there are no traces of fighting. It is impossible for that kid to be defeated by these monsters. Besides, there are no traces of fighting here. Look.

He's gone AWOL."

Jax surveyed his surroundings, examining all traces, and came to his conclusion,

"This is my problem. I didn't expect that kid wouldn't take this matter to heart."

"...Are you planning to go south?"

Balliard felt what Jax was feeling and understood what Jax was thinking.

"Yes, there are still many villagers over there who have not migrated or have been driven back by the marquis. If they are discovered by the demon clan, it will be difficult for them to survive. The footprints here are very new. If we are quick enough, we should still be able to do it in time.

"

Jax shouldn't have to save those villagers. There are priorities, and it's obvious that stopping the Void's conspiracy is the top priority right now.

However, in his opinion, the reason why those villagers faced such a crisis was because of him.
