Chapter 468 Sejuani's Shock
Following Sejuani's order, the barbarian warriors who had been preparing for a long time roared and poured down from the top of the hill like a flood.
At the forefront were the mammoth riders of the Winter Claw and the boar riders of the Juvask. The charge of these huge beasts was like a hundred-meter-high wave slowly pressing down from the sea, changing the color of the sky and the earth, shaking it, and leaving people with nowhere to escape.
In front of them, the walls of Lakstak were like a thin piece of paper. The city seemed to have become an isolated island in the tsunami, a dilapidated building that was about to collapse in the storm.
"Victory belongs to Winter's Claw!" The warriors have shouted the slogan of victory.
Sejuani has also imagined the beautiful scene of herself sitting on the throne of Rakstak and replacing Ashe as the King of Icefield.
This is not a fantasy, it's all right before your eyes!
She will soon be able to...
"Whoosh——" Just as Sejuani's heart was pounding, a gust of wind suddenly came from the gray sky with flying frost and snow.
The sound of the wind was strange, it didn't seem like natural air convection.
Instead, it's a bit like... the sound of a huge object falling from the sky at high speed, breaking through the rolling air waves.
"What is that?" The Winter Claw warriors were slightly stunned and instinctively looked up.
The mammoths and giant boars that were rushing in the front stopped their front hooves with screams, as if they had sensed some terrifying predator.
This massive and decisive charge came to a sudden halt.
Then, everyone saw:
“Boom——” A huge black shadow was projected from the sky.
It broke through the heavy dark clouds in an instant and crashed straight into the ground like a meteorite.
"Quick! Retreat quickly!" Seeing this horrifying scene, the warriors of Winter Claw retreated in panic.
But they soon discovered that their panic was unnecessary.
The white stone giant that fell from the sky did not ruthlessly smash down on their heads. Instead, it spread its wings to slow down at the last moment before landing, and then landed accurately outside the city gate of Laxtak, blocking their army.
"This..." Sejuani was slightly stunned.
Who is this immortal? Is he from Avarosa?
No……
The appearance of this "big stone man" is like a carefully carved stone statue, which makes it clear at a glance that it is a man-made product.
And the sculptural style of its body clearly comes from Demacia in the south.
Sejuani had robbed Demacia before, and she knew what the Demacia sculptures looked like.
"So... this is a Demacian war weapon?" Sejuani was confused.
She had never heard of Debon having such a powerful war weapon before, and it was a weapon that was obviously powered by magic.
She really couldn't imagine how the Demacians would appear on the northern ice fields.
Even if this crappy place was given to Demacia for free, they probably wouldn't want it, right?
Sejuani was puzzled when she saw the sound of breaking air coming from the sky right after the appearance of the "big stone man".
Amid the wild dancing of snow and wind, numerous human figures flew down through the gaps in the clouds created by the giant.
There were Demacians wearing armor and holding staffs.
There are also bare-chested Iceborn warriors holding large swords.
And those who are at the forefront are:
"Ashe?!" Sejuani's pupils shrank.
She recognized her former best friend and current enemy at a glance.
Ashe is back. She has returned with the help of Tryndamere and an army of incredible strength.
“Avarosa!” Ashe wielded her True Ice Bow and called out to the city of Rakstak, “Your Warmother has returned!”
"War Mother Ashe! It's War Mother Ashe!" The panic-stricken city suddenly calmed down. The defenders, who had originally planned to surrender in despair, also regained their morale.
"What the hell is going on!" Sejuani's face was extremely gloomy.
How did Ashe get involved with the Demacians?
Didn't she take time off her main forces and lead the army south just to deal with Demacia? How come in the blink of an eye, Demacia and she became as close as a family?
Sejuani couldn't figure it out, but she didn't have time to think about it.
Facing Ashe's sudden arrival, she had to think about a question as soon as possible:
"What should I do now?" Looking at the figures still flying in the sky, Sejuani couldn't help feeling uneasy.
The giant who was tens of meters tall made her feel even more fearful.
Want to retreat?
But she had already reached Lakstak and was only one step away from the throne. She was really unwilling to give up.
Moreover, the enemy was right before his eyes. It would not be a wise move to retreat hastily and leave his back to the enemy.
Sejuani is struggling;
Ashe and Tryndamere, as well as Lux, Sona and others who arrived at the scene, were also preparing to organize their words to persuade Sejuani to surrender and surrender with courtesy;
But the appearance of a person instantly broke this brief and delicate peace.
"Hahahaha... Giant! Are you the one who can kill me?"
Suddenly, a bearded barbarian rushed out from the Winter Claw's army.
When other barbarian warriors were intimidated by Galio's heroic appearance and dared not act rashly, he rushed forward fearlessly, waving a pair of short axes that were not even enough to give Galio a pedicure, with his eyes shining.
"Move! The power of Lockefa is approaching!"
"Hahahaha..." His laughter echoed on the snow. He was as excited as Tryndamere running to the cafeteria after get off work, rushing in great joy and excitement.
"Olaf! Wait... Oh, forget it." Sejuani sighed helplessly.
The big fool who rushed forward alone was none other than her capable general, the berserker Olaf from the Rockfa Peninsula.
Lokfar is a coastal peninsula located in the wildest part of the Freljord.
In the eyes of the Demacians, the Freljordians are barbarians.
But in the eyes of the Freljord people, the warriors of Lokfar are the real barbarians.
They are barbarians among barbarians, brave among brave men, and Olaf is the craziest and bravest of these Lokfar warriors.
Olaf once consulted the tribal shaman to tell his fortune, and the shaman said that he would live a long and peaceful life.
This was an intolerable outcome for the warriors of Lockefa.
So Olaf began to constantly challenge powerful enemies and "seek death", just hoping to break the prophecy and die gloriously on the battlefield.
He was fanatical about pursuing battle and happened to have similar interests with Sejuani, so he joined the Winter's Claw by chance.
For a person who only wants to die, there are no rules in this world that can restrain him.
Sejuani couldn't restrain the berserker.
She could only allow Olaf to charge wildly at the seemingly invincible giant.
"Alright." Sejuani turned her gaze towards the battlefield: "Let this fearless fellow test the quality of the stone man!"
While she was thinking, Olaf had already rushed to Galio with a roar.
Well... maybe saying "in front of" is not accurate. To be precise, Olaf rushed to Galio's toes.
"Take my axe!" He swung his two axes, jumped up, and then fiercely...
Hit Galio's knee.
Sejuani: "..."
There was total silence, save for Olaf's excited roar.
"I'll chop! I'll chop again!" He slid down from the air and gave Galio another severe pedicure.
"Hiss——" Galio finally felt the pain.
"That's enough, little guy!" He leaned over a little angrily and slapped Olaf into the snow.
Olaf was like a monkey being pinned down by the Five Finger Mountain. In an instant, he disappeared under the unstoppable giant hand, completely without a sound.
"This..." The Winter Claw warriors looked increasingly nervous. The atmosphere at the scene also became increasingly tense.
But at this moment:
"Get up!" Olaf's roar sounded under the crushing of the giant hand.
His muscles swelled, his blood surged, and even his skin turned a burning red. The heat was so strong that it could penetrate his body and melt the thick snow around him.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force poured out from Olaf's "tiny" body - he actually struggled and used brute force to push away Galio's giant arm.
"I'll chop! I'll chop again!" Olaf chopped Galio's palm with an axe, then roared, turned over and jumped up, jumped into the air and chopped Galio's arm.
Galio had to wave his arms hastily to throw the crazy barbarian away.
"There is hope!" Sejuani suddenly felt relieved: "This giant is not invincible! It can be defeated!"
The Ice People are not afraid of large prey. As long as they can chop down a monster, they dare to take on it no matter how big it is.
And now, Ashe has brought her German friends and secretly surrounded them from the air.
If she ran away directly, she would be bitten and chased. Even if she wanted to retreat, she had to hurt the enemy first.
So Sejuani gave the order without hesitation: "Kill! Crush them!"
"Yes!" The warriors of Winter Claw were also inspired by Olaf's heroic performance.
They no longer hesitated, but bravely charged towards Galio.
"Steelmane, go!" Sejuani took the lead and rushed to the front bravely.
"Extreme Ice Prison!" She concentrated her powerful icy force on the lasso and threw it forward with all her strength.
At the same time, more Ice Mages released magic, throwing countless ice arrows and ice spears emitting biting cold air towards Galio, Lux and others flying in the air.
This was originally the killer weapon of Winter Claw.
Sejuani and her frostbloods can unleash powerful true icy magic at the same time, enveloping large swathes of enemies in a prison-like frost storm.
Sejuani was confident that this move could stop the giant's movements, and combined with the attacks of Olaf and other tribal warriors, she could destroy this war machine from Demacia.
However……
"You're just in time!" Lux, who was racking her brains over how to suppress Winter's Claw as quickly as possible, couldn't help but have her eyes brightened.
Without her command, Galio rushed forward immediately when he saw the overwhelming frost magic.
He spread his magnificent wings and blocked all magical attacks for Lux and others in the sky.
The Ice Lasso thrown by Sejuani was also blocked by Galio's body without fear.
The powerful power of ice blossomed in his body. Countless ice spears and ice arrows emitting sharp cold air also pierced his body without reservation.
Galio was instantly caught in a fierce frost storm, covered from head to toe with a thick layer of pure ice.
The stone statue turned into an ice sculpture, frozen stiffly in the infinite magic power of ice.
"Good!" Sejuani couldn't help but cheer.
However... the next second, her smile froze on the corners of her mouth.
Because she was shocked to find that the tall stone giant in front of her seemed to be... absorbing the true ice?
"It can absorb True Ice?" Sejuani looked at Galio in disbelief, watching the True Ice on his body melting rapidly.
The unmeltable ice actually melted on this stone man.
Not only did it melt, but it was also absorbed into his body and gradually disappeared into thin air.
"Damn...what kind of monster is this!" Sejuani had not yet realized what a wrong decision she had just made.
If she called a group of fearless ice warriors to follow Olaf to give Galio a "pedicure", Galio might have a headache.
But Sejuani launched a massive magical offensive.
This is not an attack on Galio at all, but rather a "charging" of his energy.
Galio usually relies on Debon mages such as Lux, Sona, and Sylas to provide him with energy and mana.
But this time Lux and the others also went to the battlefield. They also needed to retain their own combat power, so they could not fully supply energy to this big guy.
In order to rescue Lakstag in time, Galio flew all the way from the German border to the center of the ice field.
To make this big guy fly, and fly so far, it consumes a lot of magic power.
The extremely cold weather on the ice field will seriously affect the range of electric vehicles.
Therefore, Galio consumed a lot of magic power on the way, and after arriving, he was in a weak state of "low power", unable to exert his full strength in the battle.
Now, with the generous mana replenishment from Sejuani and others...
"I'm full." Galio patted his stomach with satisfaction, absorbing the last bit of cold air lingering around him.
The deadly frost storm just disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Instead, there was a suffocatingly powerful magical wave emanating from Galio's physical energy.
The Iceborn mages who had just been attacking Galio with all their might were now all dumbfounded.
The tribal warriors who were originally charging towards Galio with boiling blood stopped in panic again.
Only Olaf was still waving his axe with a silly smile and rushing forward in a hurry.
But this time, he couldn't even get close to Galio's body.
"War Wind!" Galio raised his huge wings that covered the sky and blew out a fierce magical storm forward.
Olaf was still in the air when he was swept back by the overwhelming storm.
Warriors from other tribes dodged in panic, but the tsunami-like high-pressure air waves could not be avoided by human power.
They were soon engulfed by the storm like Olaf, and were carried away by the tornado that connected the sky and the earth.
With just one move, the Winter Claw army was pushed back several hundred meters.
No one could stand at Galio's feet anymore. A large area of land was cleared in front of him, and even the snow on the ground was swept away by the strong wind, leaving only a piece of empty frozen earth.
"This..." The wild boar under Sejuani's crotch trembled slightly. This was the first time that the beast showed any signs of uneasiness.
She also tightly grasped the reins in her hands and looked at everything in front of her with a serious expression.
"This monster is so powerful?!" Sejuani finally realized the strength of the enemy.
"Warmother Sejuani, can you please listen to us quietly now?" Her fear and hesitation finally gave Lux the opportunity to speak before going into battle.
And Lux's words, which sounded like a declaration of victory, made Sejuani even more nervous.
"what do I do?"
I'm afraid I can't defeat them. But escaping from a group of flying enemies is not that easy.
The best outcome would be for her to risk her entire tribe's lives, pay the heavy price of crippling the Winter Claw in a battle, and then escape into the ice field with a group of defeated soldiers.
If this happens, all her years of hard work will be completely ruined.
The Winter Claw will once again become a third-rate tribe, and her grand plan will be shattered.
Who knows how many children will starve to death in her tribe.
"Damn it!" Sejuani gripped the reins tightly.
She was leading her warriors across the ice field just a few minutes ago. Wherever her tribe and army went, the enemy was defeated. It can be said that they had the best of luck.
The scene of thriving life and everything in it was still vivid in my mind. But in just a few minutes...
"Will this place suddenly become my burial place?" The more Sejuani thought about it, the more desperate she felt.
She was defeated, and the defeat was unexpected and inexplicable, but so cruel and so real.
She no longer has any hope of turning the tables...
"Wait." Sejuani turned around and looked at Udyr, the most powerful spirit walker in history.
Ordinary spirit walkers can only control the power of one spirit, but Udyr can communicate with all spirits at the same time, even including many gods of the Freljord .
In previous battles, she had never seen Udyr use his full strength.
Therefore, she couldn't help but place her last hope on this powerful beast spirit walker.
“Udyr, help me!” Sejuani said, “Help me lead everyone and fight our way out of here!”
"Uh..." Udyr's expression was a little subtle.
"What's wrong?" Sejuani frowned slightly.
And she realized belatedly at this moment... In the previous battle, Udyr seemed to have been AFK and doing nothing.
Under normal circumstances, Udyr would have been the first to rush over. This "old father" had always been working hard to show his love for her.
"Why, are you scared this time? Or do you not want to help me?" Sejuani asked angrily: "Udyr, were all the words you said to me before false?"
"No, child. Of course I am willing to help you." Udyr looked at his "daughter" helplessly: "It's just that you overestimate my ability. I am not as strong as you think now."
"And..." His tone became more subtle: "This time..."
"What happened this time?" Sejuani was about to ask.
The blonde girl flying in the sky and the girl with blue hair and twin ponytails beside her suddenly shouted in surprise: "Comrade Udyr, is that you?!"
"..." Udyr glanced at Sejuani with a complicated expression, then turned around and replied, "It's me. Comrade Lux, Comrade Sona, long time no see."
“……” There was a moment of silence.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Sejuani: “???”
