Chapter 715: Confused Rod
Aatrox's success in intimidating these unruly Frost Guards was a fairly straightforward testament to the huge disparity between the two sides - and while the whole process was bloody, the results weren't bad.
One of the four centurions died, but it didn't matter, because only about three hundred of the more than four hundred warriors could continue to fight.
After a training exercise, a quarter of the battle losses were lost, and Aatrox was not distressed at all.
On Lisandro's side, the priests who served her thought that she would come forward to stop her, but in the end, she didn't say a word, and after learning all the ins and outs, she just let out an extremely calm "oh", and went with Aatrox.
As for Rhodes...... He was in a hidden spot above the Wailing Abyss, witnessing the whole event in its entirety.
This small col was discovered by Nunu, and Rhodes had followed Sigvar all the way to the Frostguard Fortress, and was worried that he didn't know how to investigate, so Nunu volunteered that he knew of a "secret base that only he knew", and then took Rhodes over the mountain to this small col.
The view was perfect, and from behind the ice edges that looked like battlements, Rhodes was able to take in the entire view of the Wailing Abyss.
Here, Rod clearly saw the whole process of Aatrox's training - for the whole process, Nunu couldn't stand it, and Rod had nothing to say.
"That guy can easily kill those bugs, why do you have to watch it?!" Nunu was indignant at Aatrox's cruelty, "He's such a big bastard, so cruel to his own people!" ”
"Your own people?" Rhodes shook his head, "I believe that those dead warriors weren't Aatrox's own at all. ”
"Why?" Nunu was a little strange, "Isn't he the guy who wanted to capture Tydamir before, and when he appears here, he must be from the Frostguard tribe, and those warriors are also Frostguard warriors!" ”
"No, it's not." Rhodes explained, "Aatrox is a Darkborn, he's just Lisandro's...... Collaborator. ”
"Collaborators?" Nunu was a little confused, "What does that mean?" ”
"A lone wolf and a bear that had been hungry for a long time found a jukal together, and neither of them could hunt this jukal alone, so the wolf and the bear worked together - but they both knew that the other could not be trusted, but a temporary common goal brought them together, and this was the collaborators."
"So, who's the bear and who's the wolf?"
"I'm not sure yet, but now it seems that Lisandro is more of a bear, and this guy is a lone wolf at best."
……………………
Rhodes was right.
While Aatrox had succeeded in getting the rebellious warriors to follow orders, it was still a long way before he really wanted what he was looking for.
What Aatrox needed was a captive.
While Aatrox despises the Void, it is undeniable that he is now deeply affected by the Void.
Under the continuous erosion of the void, Zhen Bing's composure is a palliative rather than a cure, in order to maintain his sanity, he also needs more souls, more bodies, Aatrox will absorb these souls, and then transfer the erosion of the void to others.
Void creatures will cause void pollution after death - the unspeakable and strange impact that Sigvar felt before, and what Aatrox has to do is to use his magic sword to kill one enemy after another, and forcibly inject his uncontrollable Void Will into the body of the dead, only in this way can he avoid being assimilated by the Void.
Aatrox knew that his actions were actually helping the Void - the stronger the Void Will of the Valoran plane, the easier it would be for the Void to come, but in order to be able to survive, he had no other way.
Aatrox hadn't fought in a while, and after suffering a small loss at the hands of Rhodes, he had been trying to suppress his desire to fight, relying on the calming effect of Zhen Ice to maintain his sanity - but just now, when he slashed the Void Mother worm with a sword, a long-awaited shiver from killing made Aatrox feel refreshed from body to soul.
The Darkspawn is forever hungry for killing.
And now, Aatrox was finally able to set off again.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Aatrox left the Crying Abyss with the remaining Frostguard warriors.
Instead of following the troop away, Rhodes recorded the terrain near the Wailing Abyss, the previous battle information, and enough that Rhodes now needed to understand the structural features of the Frostguard Fortress in preparation for the upcoming Avarossa.
On the other side, Aatrox led the Frostguard warriors to slaughter according to the list given by Lisandro.
Villages resentful of Lisandro and may have been on the side of Alvarosa during the war were slaughtered, and the sky was lit up with blazing flames.
The magic sword body in Aatrox's hand harvests one soul after another, and he constantly releases the void will he bears and hands it over to those who die to bear, this cathartic refreshment makes Aatrox extremely excited, after becoming a Darkborn, he has not felt this pleasure for thousands of years!
However, I don't know if Lisandro did it on purpose, but the last few places in the villages she marked were in the Furnace Country......
Unaware of the legends of the Furnace Village, the Outsider Aatrox ignored the Frost Guard's warning that "this may anger Orn" and went to the Furnace without meeting the god Freljord.
Once he had identified his target, Aatrox swung his sword and commanded the Frostguard warriors to swarm forward.
Unlike other villages that couldn't resist, outside the walls of this village, a bald guy dressed in a dragon skin shoulder was waiting for him.
In the face of the defenders, Sigwa directly raised the Ice Sword in his hand, and at the same time, Hala and Orar were on the left and right, tacitly choosing to flank and attack.
At the same time, the other Frost Guard warriors circled around from both sides, intending to charge directly into the village.
However, in the midst of the heavy snow, the bald guy raised his shield and slashed an exaggerated half-moon slash in front of him.
As soon as the Ice Weapons of Sigwa, Hala and Oral were placed on their shields, they were catapulted straight away.
"Want to go wild in the Furnace Country?" The bald guy showed off his well-developed biceps and knocked twice on his heavy, dragon-skinned shield, "First ask Bronn if he agrees!" ”
