Chapter 351: Turn the muzzle
Regardless, the episode between Ruiz and Kieran came to an end - after the two left, Rhodes turned his attention to Freljord again.
Winter's Fury has played GG, and it's up to the Frost Guardian next.
And the Frost Guard...... Their leader is not a second-class.
Frost Witch Lisandro.
Rhodes never underestimated those immortal species, and for those immortal individuals among the short-lived species, Rhodes was even more cautious.
The older you get, the more thieves you are, and in the conversation with Ryze before, the Guardian has a lot of respect for the Frost Witch.
A man who makes Ruiz respectful - Rod really feels like he has messed up.
Cold Wind Rune...... It's not so easy to get!
But in any case, the payment for what he promised has been received, so he has to work - in this regard, Rhodes is still very reputable.
And...... A unified Freljord may not be able to become his own background in the future, just like Zuan!
Frost Guard, Lisandro.
Rhodes unfolded the rudimentary map and silently began to think.
……………………
The Avarosa clan was still trying to digest the "legacy" of Winterclaw, and by this time, Rhodes had already set foot on the land of Lakstak.
The people of Avarosa were familiar with Winterclaw, and Rhodes could have gotten the information he needed to make plans from Ash; But when it comes to the Frost Guard, even the eldest Alvarosa can't tell much.
Although Ash is now full of hope for "love and peace" again, and always hopes that Avarosa and the Frost Guard can come together sooner rather than later, Rhodes is absolutely sure that Lisandro will not be able to easily relinquish her authority by relying on negotiation and communication alone.
If it really lets go, it won't be Lisandro.
Therefore, Rhodes intends to take the first step and travel through the furnace country to the mountains of East Freljord to observe the state of the Frost Guardian tribe and prepare for the coming war.
In this case, Rhodes specially called Nunu and Willumpu - they had slipped out of the Frost Guard's fortress, and they were the perfect guides.
It just so happened that Nunu had been bored lately, and Ash didn't have time to play with him because of his busy schedule, so he heard that Rhodes was looking for Lisandro, and Nunu happily agreed (hmm!). - Willumpu).
In fact, after learning of Nunu's origins, Rhodes has always been suspicious of Lisandro - Nunu's tribe has been attacked by raiders, and the raiders are all Lisandro's peripheral forces; In addition, Lisandro has asked Nunu about the snowman many times...... There was no conspiracy in this, and Rhodes didn't believe it.
But the embarrassing point of this kind of thing is that he can't tell Nunu, and Rod really can't bear to say this kind of naïve thing to Nunu, so along the way, Rod and Nunu don't communicate much, and their preferred way of communication is...... Snowball fight.
That's right, Rod Three-Year-Old loves to play Snow Lothar.
Cana, who followed silently in mid-air, was speechless, she never thought that Rhodes still had such a side - obviously a guy who has more twists and turns in his heart than anyone else, and he especially likes naïve children!
As a client, Rhodes enjoyed it.
You know, having a snowball fight with Nunu is not throwing snow at each other in the usual sense; It's not even more "brutal" to insert people into snowdrifts in the north of Blue Star - a small part of Nunu's snowballs are made of snow balls, most of them are the magic products of Willamp, and if these snowballs are thrown on ordinary people, they can even freeze them in the first place!
In the process of snowball fight with Nunu, Rhodes is also exercising his flexibility - after all, it is also very difficult to ensure that he will not be hit by Nunu and Weirumpu's snowballs without using spatial spells (flashes)!
……………………
Leaving Avarossa's station, Rhodes headed east, led by Nunu and Willamp.
At this time, it was already winter in Freljord, and under the heavy snow, there were few travelers on this frozen land, and Rhodes even did not see a single person for several days.
From the plains of Lakstak to the Frostguard Fortress, Rhodes and Nunu had to traverse almost the entire length of Freljord, and while they didn't have to worry about supplies, the journey wasn't easy at all.
Animals like the Icewolf don't bother, but many of the less friendly tribes can still cause trouble for Rhodes.
And the biggest trouble comes from the ice trolls.
Ice trolls are intelligent creatures unique to Freljord, and in the eyes of many biologists in Piltover, they are a special kind of Vastaya - of course, some believe that they are completely different magical creatures and have nothing to do with Vastayas - but in any case, ice trolls are considered a dangerous being, they are cunning and cruel, and they are the most fearsome raiders and predators in Freljord.
Rhodes had met the self-proclaimed "Troll King" when he was at Fort Digwag, but after actually coming into contact with many ice trolls, Rhodes finally realized that the Troll King was a self-proclaimed man.
From the Freljord subcontinent to the Lakstak Plains, there are small groups of ice trolls everywhere, some of them can speak, some can only speak dialects, and some can speak a little lingua franca, and the ecology of the various groups is simply very different.
Rhodes even thinks that the unification of the ice trolls is much more difficult than the unification of Freljord.
It's a pity that Rhodes is not in the mood to study the ecology of ice trolls, and he has always met these guys who are trying to get some oil and water from himself.
And under the deterrence of the flames, most of these ice trolls also knew each other very well, rushing up, retreating, and then running as far as they could, pretending that nothing had happened.
Over time, Rhodes even got used to it - if he found a place to rest, he would always find a nest of ice trolls.
Stop-and-go.
Overall, the journey through the plains of Lakstak went smoothly.
As Rhodes continued eastward into the Great Plains of Freljord, things suddenly began to take a turn for the worse.
Although it is a cold winter, war is in full swing in the great plains of Freljord.
The northward expansion of Noxus has already spread here, and the Noxians seem to have amassed heavy forces at Fort Dig and are tentatively advancing to the northwest.
Although it was a partial division and there was no shadow of the Trifali army, Noxus was unstoppable for the Freljords, whose main structure was a small village.
Faced with the war-torn village, Nunu is indignant, but Rhodes is thoughtful.
