Chapter 366 The Claws of Winter
"Well, Ashe agreed, but if Tryndamere won't come back, there have been trolls moving around Avarosa's territory recently. It seems that some trolls from ancient times have resurrected. I don't know how this creature came to be.
Still alive today.”
Darius didn't know much about the creatures of the Freljord, because the more he knew about it, the more doubts he had. In addition, as the empire expanded towards the continent of Shurima, Darius simply
Ignore the Freljord issue.
"Trolls from ancient times?"
Balliard seems to have heard of that kind of thing, the most famous of which is Uziga, which is a descendant of a creature from the Gods. It has the bloodline of a mythical creature named Titan. Naturally, its lifespan will be very long.
Although you won't be able to live from ancient times to the present, you can find a place to bury yourself and fall into a deep sleep when your life span is approaching, and you can live to the present.
If Uzjia or the trolls of his generation were resurrected, the movement would be huge. If they could survive to this era, they would not be far behind if they were not demigods.
Coupled with the bloodline of the Titans from the Age of Gods, it is not difficult to fight a demigod. What's more important is that these ancient trolls shake the earth with every step they take, and the range of damage is too powerful.
After all, Avarosa is a kingdom, not a nomadic tribe. They have their own towns and the people have fixed living places. If an ancient troll runs into Avarosa's territory, it will definitely be a disaster.
"That's right, Tryndamere, a troll from ancient times, seems to have discovered the traces of that troll and is keeping an eye on it. If the troll wants to come down the mountain, the two will fight."
Darius did not believe that the two demigods of Avarosa would ignore their own tribe in order to save Runeterra. After all, their purpose of saving Runeterra was actually to protect their own tribe.
If you can't protect your own tribe, then why is there any need to protect Runeterra? They are not special guardians, they are the king and queen of a kingdom.
"That's a pity. Where's Sejuani? Is Jax back?"
Baliard has eliminated Tryndamere as a thug candidate, asking a king to give up the safety of his own people to help him? Impossible, he will not hold out any hope for this.
"Not yet, but according to the communication, Sejuani did not reject our proposal, so there should be no problem."
Darius put forward a more idealistic conclusion, but Balliard was not as optimistic as him.
"Then you have to be careful. Sejuani is not the type of person who will abide by her agreement. You and Ashe have reached an agreement to jointly resist the Claws of Winter. He may take advantage of this to sneak attack on us when we go to the Frostguard Fortress.
, you have to be careful."
Baliard is not confident about Sejuani's credibility. They are a typical nomadic tribe. They only believe in the law of the jungle and the strong. The agreement is only established to be torn down.
If Sejuani does not come back with Jax, it probably means that Sejuani will bring the Claw of Winter to sneak attack on the Kingdom of Noxus and nip this emerging kingdom in the bud.
This is in line with the interests of Winter's Claw and the philosophy of Winter's Claw.
They never believed that the Freljord should have peace, war, and the law of the jungle is what Freljord should have
Zhuo De's unchanged tone for thousands of years, seeking peace? That's ridiculous.
"Sneak attack... is really short-sighted."
Darius couldn't say much. It was normal for those who had never seen the void to not believe in the existence of the void.
However, knowing clearly that his group is working hard and paying for Runeterra, Winter's Claw still plans to go south to plunder and invade. It is really a bit shameless.
No one would ever think that it is shameless for nomadic people to plunder agricultural people. This is the need for development. When nomads cannot meet their development needs, they will plunder and obtain the materials they need from other places.
The farming people don’t seem to be very aggressive. That’s because they haven’t found any land worth being invaded. If a country with farming people as the main body knew that rice was harvested three times a year a hundred kilometers away, look at what they still had.
Do you talk about etiquette, justice and integrity?
However, what Balliard and Darius are doing is to protect the entire Runeterra. Winter's Claw is also a target of protection. As a protected party, isn't it shameless to stab the guardian in the back?
"What can you do? This may be the reason why the Void did not induce the Winter's Claw to invade south."
Balliard did not dissuade this plan before, because he believed that they needed to unite all forces to stop the Void. Even if the possibility that Winter's Claw would agree to their plan was low, Balliard also believed that it needed to be tried.
As for the cost of such an attempt, which is the lives of people in the Kingdom of Noxus, Balliard does not care. In order to protect Runeterra and obtain a demigod-level combat power that is possible, he chose
These people can be sacrificed.
"No inducement is needed, Winter's Claw will also initiate a war. Rather than allowing forces that would otherwise initiate a war to have a greater chance of starting a war, it is better to allow forces that would otherwise not initiate a war to initiate a war in an unprecedented manner.
"
Darius understood what Baliard said, which also made him understand why Baliard did what he did.
"If Sejuani doesn't join us to deal with the Void, I will stay here to deal with their attacks."
"...That's fine. Pay attention to the scale of the conflict and don't let the scale of the war expand, lest you achieve your empty goal."
To be honest, Balliard did not expect Darius to make such a decision. If he knew that the cost of choosing Sejuani, who had a low probability of becoming a thug, would be a citizen of the Kingdom of Noxus plus Germany.
Laius would not do this.
However, until now, he could not make Darius give up those people, because Darius had already made his choice, and he did not dare to question Darius's choice.
In the final analysis, he was the one who considered that Sejuani might take the opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Noxus, but did not tell Darius that this was his own choice and his own problem.
He had to thank God that Darius didn't come to chop him with an ax now. He still questioned Darius?
"I will."
In terms of his role in a war, Darius considers himself to be greater than Sejuani. He can throw the black cutter in his hand like a boomerang and then take it back.
None of the tribesmen of Winter's Claw have the strength to withstand his attack.
If an ax flies out, if you are unlucky, you can only kill a few hundred people. If you are lucky, thousands of people will be killed.
And he now has three Black Cutters. He originally had two completed Black Cutters and one unfinished Black Cutters. In this world line, he got another Black Cutter sent by Anivia, complete.
He uses three of the artifact-level black cutters in his hand.
Three Axes, Draven's signature method.
After returning to Salva, Darius will "ask" Draven for some ax throwing skills. He has a good relationship with his brother, but he doesn't like this younger brother who is always finding fault.
He wanted to defeat Draven at what he was best at, so that Draven could shut his mouth.
In this case, Sejuani could either challenge Darius to a duel and find a way to defeat Darius, or she could only retreat.
Her enemy-killing efficiency is not comparable to Darius.
"So... the call is over?"
Balliard could not figure out Darius's current emotional and mental state. He was contacting the other party through communication, not face-to-face, and could not feel Darius' will.
"End it, I still have a lot to do."
Darius was the first to hang up the communication. He did not think that what Balliard did was wrong. As a guardian, the first priority when coming to other world lines is to protect Runeterra, and other things can be given up.
If it is to protect Rune Land, then some small ethnic groups can be abandoned directly, and some large cities can also be abandoned, as long as Rune Land still exists and is not swallowed by the void.
But he had no choice this time.
Because this Kingdom of Noxus was established by him. He established this country in the name of Darius, the brave heart of this world line. He has not yet solved all the problems of this country, and he will abandon this country.
?
He couldn't do it, not for anything else but the name "Noxus."
"Seas."
He summoned his captain of the bodyguard. There were many people among the barbarians who could be used, but most of them could only be used as soldiers. The people who could assist him in handling some government affairs issues, except Seas, were
There are not many left.
Moreover, those guys are quite old.
"King, do you have anything for me to do?"
Seas has become accustomed to Darius rarely dealing with problems personally, ever since he first told those barbarians what they should and shouldn't do.
Perhaps because of the legend of Darius, almost all barbarians would be very restrained when facing Darius. They could not do things that they could have done because Darius was there.
Therefore, Darius always leaves the problem to him to deal with.
"Notice further, suspend hunting, animal husbandry, and forging activities. Everyone, prepare for war. The claws of winter may attack soon."
When Darius told the news, Seaas was not too panicked.
According to rumors, Sejuani, the war mother of Winter's Claw, is the reincarnation of Serelda, but that is just a rumor.
