Sixty thousand warriors took almost all of Avarosa's snow fruits and set out on the journey.

For the first time, Rhodes was able to observe the unique landscape of the Freljords' march up close (Rhodes was still training the navy in Frost Harbor the last time the army was marching).

In other countries, whether it is Demacia or Noxus, marching troops on combat duty always avoid unnecessary contact and traces of any situation during the march - while camping and resting, if possible, it is best for other soldiers to stay in the camp quietly at all times, except for scouts and patrols.

When it was time for Freljord—ho, good fellow, when the camp was built, the soldiers scattered and began to look for food to eat.

For the Freljords, hunting is also part of the war!

On the one hand, the hunted prey was the most important supply during the march, and fresh meat was essential for the strong warriors.

On the other hand, these Freljord warriors also kept their squads in formation, cooperated with each other, and targeted dangerous animals that lived in groups, which was also a practice for the Freljords who did not have professional, structured training methods.

Unless supplies are extremely scarce, few Freljord warriors who come out to hunt during the march choose weak prey as targets, preferring challenging prey as both a training and a catharsis for their exuberant energy.

Oh, and by the way, the Freljords have a high percentage of female soldiers, so in order to avoid some unpleasant situations, male and female soldiers should live separately, even if they are husband and wife - after all, no matter how strong the war mother is, it will be difficult to continue fighting once she is pregnant.

Along the way, Freljord's peculiar way of marching made Rhodes new and at the same time, but also gave him a deeper understanding of this barren land - this long journey seems at first glance, every organization is full of chaos and irrationality, but when Rod carefully thinks about and explores the reasons behind it, behind this chaos, without exception, there are two words written.

Poor.

As one of the origins of human civilization in Valoran, the Freljord people have engraved the genes of fighting in the depths of their blood, and although the integrated system of soldiers and farmers (hunting) of non-professional soldiers is primitive and backward, Freljord has developed it to an incredible height.

In the midst of frequent conflicts and wars, the line between producers and professional soldiers has been blurred, and combat training is something that every Freljord must be involved in, and it is not the letter of the law that urges them, but the desire to live.

Rhodes once saw two squads working together to hunt the Icewolf.

In this hunt, eighteen warriors faced twelve ice wolves with rudimentary weapons in their hands, but they fought a two-for-nine battle - two warriors died under the wolf's kiss, and a small ice wolf pack was left with only one wolf and two relatively young ice wolves.

Such non-combat attrition is unacceptable in the armies of any other country - it means the loss of combat effectiveness of the army.

But in Freljord, the sixteen soldiers who returned were praised by the captain who commanded the two squads, calling them "true warriors."

When he asked one of the squad leaders what reward he wanted, the answer was "I hope to get a new long knife" - as for his original one, it was stuck in the ass of the fleeing wolf.

Many things that seem funny to ordinary people's eyes will turn from a joke to a black humor that makes people stunned after taking a closer look at Freljord's background.

……………………

Heading east from Lake Laxstak, Alvarossa's army was steadily and slowly attrition—but at the same time, the entire army was grinding together with astonishing efficiency.

In this case, it was as if the Freljord's beastly talent for war had been activated and unleashed.

And all of this was "seen in the eyes" of Lisandro.

Yes, Lisandro was blind - but that blindness was only damage to her eyes, and she could "see" many other beings beyond her sight.

Why are the Freljords called "barbarians"?

Because in the countless years of war, the Freljord people have a difference from other humans, although it is not enough to produce reproductive isolation, but there are indeed obvious racial differences.

This difference is not only reflected in the physical appearance, but most importantly, they have engraved the imprint of war in their bones - in the harsh environment, the Freljords must fight to survive, even if they do not want to fight.

And this kind of change is exactly what Lisandro has been looking forward to.

Fighting the Void requires more power - in addition to more powerful cutting-edge combat power, those more powerful soldiers are what Lisandro has always needed.

Lisandro, who had dealt with the Star Spirits, knew very well that the warriors under the command of the Giant Star Spirits were stronger than one another—especially the followers of the War Star Spirits.

It is precisely because of this that the War Star Spirit can frequently create avatars - in addition to the War Star Spirit, only the Twilight Star Spirit, who relies on his head, can get an avatar out of nothing.

Lisandro can't give her power in the form of faith like the War Star Spirit, but Lisandro, who understands human nature better, has her own unique approach.

If there are no warriors, they will be trained - over the years, Lisandro has distorted history and legends, and under her watchful eyes, the Freeljords have finally become what she intended.

Tough, belligerent, and brave.

In the face of the crusade of the army led by Ash, Lisandro was not only not angry, but also full of anticipation.

Come on, come on!

I've been sitting in the Frostguard Fortress for countless years, waiting for now, and I've exhausted my patience to watch the civilization of Freljord become what I want it to be, and the barbarians of Freljord become warriors as powerful as the Cultists of the War Star.

While it may seem like you're a little disobedient, it's all right—the laws of runes are in turmoil, and the dark ice that Valoran doesn't like doesn't necessarily freeze your enemies......

Come and challenge me!

After you fail the challenge, you will become the best warriors and destroy the void that lurks beneath the darkness under my command!

As for the success of the challenge?

Hehe, you've exposed your strongest cards.

Lisandro didn't know what the mage who suddenly appeared had anything to do with Avarosa, but now, she was fully prepared.
