The Glory of Noxus.

Ironthorn Mountains, snowy trails.

The cold wind blew like a knife, making waves of sobbing and crying.

Udyr looked at the magical girl walking towards him and couldn't help but stop and look at her curiously.

This area of ​​icy tundra and valleys is controlled by the Winter Claw tribe.

Except for the Blood Alliance tribe, few outsiders would set foot here.

This is the deterrent effect brought by the Winter Claw tribe's fierce reputation, which makes many looters and bandits stay away.

The magical girl appeared here, probably to visit an old friend from the Winter Claw tribe.

In the distance, the magical girl seemed to notice Udyr's gaze and walked towards him with a smile.

All of a sudden!

Udyr felt a strong breath of magic coming towards him, mixed with energy that was completely different from the material realm.

"Hello, Beast Walker."

The magical girl's voice is clear and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains.

She stood before Udyr, her graceful and charming figure like a white lotus, swaying in the cold wind of the Freljord.

Udyr looked in the direction of the voice and saw a cool and elegant face under the brim of the magic hat.

A pair of glass glasses rested on her slender nose, but they could not hide her eyes as bright as gems.

The long wavy orange hair falls on both sides of the shoulders, bringing a different kind of charm.

Watching from a close distance, Udiel immediately realized that the magician's attire was more peculiar than he had imagined.

It's not just the wild style that's very different from the Freljord.

Udyr's eyes flickered as he recalled the Piltover merchant who had appeared among the Winter Claw tribe.

There are also obvious differences in the styles of the two.

Looking closely, the magical girl's costume is more delicate, like a perfect fusion of technology and magic, with a unique beauty.

"I'm a magician from afar. Is this the area of ​​the Winter Claw tribe?" the magical girl asked.

"Yes." Udyr nodded slowly.

He felt that the magical girl in front of him was very extraordinary, not an ordinary extraordinary person, and possessed a warmth that did not belong to the Freljord.

So he told her the answer directly.

"I want to find Udyr and ask for his help."

"Udyr?"

Hearing the magical girl's question, Udyr frowned slightly and a strange emotion flashed through his heart.

Looking for Udyr, but not knowing myself.

Very interesting magical girl.

"I am Udyr!"

The magical girl's eyes flickered when she heard that, and she looked at Udyr who stood up, not caring at all about the joke she had made.

The most powerful spirit walker in the Freljord looks somewhat ordinary.

But under the observation of the magic girl, she vaguely realized that Udyr seemed to have suffered a serious injury.

"My name is Allura." Allura said softly.

"The beast spirit walkers on the icy tundra said that you can communicate with spirits. I would like to ask you to help me look after my friend."

“It’s got some damage.”

"OK."

Udyr did not refuse. As the most powerful spirit walker in the world, he could indeed communicate with all spirits in the Freljord.

He can sense their desires and direct their transcendental powers.

"Where is your friend?"

"it's here."

Allura gently waved the magic staff embedded with blue gems in her hand. Her movements were light and graceful, like a performer plucking the strings of a guitar.

"Hmm? The spiritual realm?"

Udyr's expression suddenly changed, a solemn look appeared in his pupils, and many spirits flashed and disappeared behind him.

Within the field of vision, Allura's light movements directly split open the space of the material realm and connected it to the spiritual realm.

Then, an out-of-control spirit appeared and walked on the snow.

Its appearance resembles an elk, but its body is somewhat twisted and weird.

Blood-stained antlers, broken bodies, and even faint internal organs can be seen in some places.

Udyr's eyes narrowed as he smelled a familiar scent from the elk spirit in front of him.

It's the strange smell left by the infection of the old god Volibear.

At the same time, he also saw that Alola's elk spirit friend possessed enormous power.

But this once majestic elk spirit has been lost for too long and is unable to communicate with the outside world.

Udyr felt pity and stepped forward, reaching out to sense the elk spirit, but was rejected by it.

The blood-stained antlers pushed away Udyr's outstretched hand, and his dark eyes were filled with confusion and killing.

It seemed to be controlled by some dark force and could not distinguish between friend and foe.

"Be quiet, my friend, Ha Astrid."

Allura's voice was magical, like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, soft and peaceful.

Her fingers slid across the blood-stained antlers, and a blue halo rose from the palm of her hand, like a ghost in the ice, slowly surrounding Haastriel's body.

In an instant, the chaos in Ha Estrelle's eyes gradually subsided.

Udyr stood aside, his eyes fixed on Haastril, waiting for the best time to intervene.

Seeing that Haastril had calmed down, Udyr tapped the elk's head with his fingers, closed his eyes and sensed its desire.

He prepared to guide the chaotic power in Haastriel's body and try to calm it back to its original track.

"uh-huh!"

Before Udyr could close his eyes and sense, the power in Haastriel's body went into turmoil and burst out.

Like a floodgate opening, it was free from any restraints and directly bounced off Udyr's consciousness.

It also caused his body to stagger back a few steps involuntarily.

"Are you okay?" Allura asked immediately, her tone full of concern.

"It's okay!"

Udyr steadied himself and waved to Allura, indicating that he was fine.

Although his voice was a little trembling, it was still full of energy.

Then, he looked at Haastriel's strange body, noticing the confusion and agitation in the elk's eyes.

If it weren't for Allura's magic suppressing it, Haastriel would most likely attack Udyr now.

"I'm sorry, my ability is limited and I may not be able to help you." Udyr said apologetically.

Allura looked at Udyr and could feel his helplessness and guilt.

She nodded slightly, understanding Udyr's mentality very well.

"Perhaps you could go visit the legendary giant sheep, Lord Ornn." Udyr saw the worry on Allura's face and suggested.

"Ornn? The legendary god, the Hidden Flame of the Mountain?" Allura asked.

"Yes."

"Where is he, then?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know exactly, but His Majesty Ornn carved out a magnificent workshop in a cave under a volcano called Furnace."

"Perhaps, you can also learn about the whereabouts of Ornn himself through his followers."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Allura bowed slightly and thanked him softly.

"You are very polite. I hope you can find His Majesty Ornn as soon as possible."

The two exchanged polite pleasantries until Allura said goodbye.

On the snowy trail, Allura took Haastriel away and disappeared into the white world.

"Is this leaving the physical realm and traveling through the spiritual realm?"

Udyr remained where he was, watching Allura leave.

The moment her figure disappeared, he sensed the breath of the spiritual realm again.

"Ha Estrelle?"

Udyr put away his inner thoughts, whispered, and gently chewed the name in his mouth.

"I seem to have heard of it. Is it an old god whose name was left in the history of the Freljord?"

Udyr frowned, his eyes became deep, trying to find clues in his memory.

But the history of the Freljord is too long, and many of the old gods who disappeared in the long river have never left their names.

"What exactly caused the resurrection of the old gods and their weird and chaotic minds?"

Udyr recalled the scene of the resurrection of the old god Volibear, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Haastril's state.

The difference is that although the old god Volibear is trapped in bloodthirsty desires, he still has his own consciousness.

However, Ha Estrelle completely lost her consciousness, leaving only chaos and killing.

"It seems I need to talk to Sejuani and ask her to make some preparations in advance."

Udyr ended his journey that had not yet begun and walked back to the valley where Winter's Claw was stationed.

The revival of the old gods is not a good thing for the Freljord, which is now in turmoil.

The heart of the Ironthorn Mountains.

The majestic and imposing Fort Delver stands among the mountains like a fully armed soldier.

The imperial flag fluttering on the city wall was slightly damaged, and looked like it had experienced a brutal battle.

This important imperial city has long lost its former bustle and prosperity.

The steel city gates are closed and guarded tightly.

From a distance, the towering black city walls were covered with traces of battle.

In the surrounding snow-capped mountains and hills, many hideous and terrifying bear monsters gathered around.

These bear monsters wandered on the mountain roads and the Imperial Straight Road, as if waiting for orders, with chaos and killing in their eyes.

And below the city wall, a thick layer of corpses piled up together, and the bloody smell filled the air, almost making people nauseous.

Among these corpses there were both imperial soldiers and bear monsters; now they were mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

On the city wall watchtower, two regiment leaders wearing black armor were observing the every move of the bear monsters below.

"Alyssa, haven't you contacted the Empire and the Trifaree Council yet?"

The middle-aged man in the front position withdrew his gaze and looked at his sister, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Not yet. All the nearby mountain roads have been blocked by bear monsters, so it's difficult to pass on the news."

Alyssa looked at the many mountain roads in the snow-capped mountains with a solemn expression.

"We are now isolated and helpless. We can only wait for the Trifaree Council to notice the abnormality and respond."

"Don't tell me this. If all the mountain roads are cut off, then send more scouts and sentries across the mountains." Oram said gloomily.

"Father is still waiting for news from us."

Alyssa frowned and looked at her brother Oram, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"Mountains? You mean those icy mountains that even an eagle can't cross?"

"Don't dream about it. Besides, our soldiers are not enough. If we continue to send out scouts, it may affect the defense of Fort Delver."

Oram frowned, his eyes swept over Alyssa, and then fell on the bear monsters outside who were ready to make a move.

These bear monsters that suddenly appeared were tall and mighty, covered with thick black hair, and their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

"Damn it, where on earth did these horrible monsters come from?"

Oram cursed under his breath, and swallowed uncontrollably as he recalled the miners and soldiers who had been abducted by the bear monsters.

They attacked Fort Drifter and nearby mines many times, dragging the miners and soldiers inside into darkness, never to return.

“We simply cannot sit back and wait for this to happen.”

Oram turned and looked towards the lower town area in the castle, a hint of cruelty and viciousness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"If all else fails, feed the bear monsters some civilians and miners every day to slow down their attacks as much as possible."

"The glory of the Valrokan family must continue."

This is not a perfect solution.

But to save Fort Delver, the sacrifice of civilians and miners was worth it.

For more than two thousand years, the Valrokan family has been kings from generation to generation thanks to the wealth of the Digworth Castle.

Many forces have attacked us in an attempt to subvert order, but no one has been able to break through our strong wall.

Like an incoming wave, they broke against the walls of the Delverhold, and were driven back in despair by the swords of the Val-Lokans.

When the Noxian Empire was first born, it coveted the Delverhold and launched a war.

After several wars, the Valrokan family had to submit to the empire and no longer be kings.

But Alyssa shook her head firmly.

"If you do this, you will completely violate the laws of the empire. If someone investigates afterwards, you will not be able to escape the empire's sanctions!"

"Hmph! Empire?" When Oram heard this, he just snorted contemptuously.

"If the Empire dares to sanction me, then the Valrokan family will become independent and may even completely turn to the Freljord."

“Remember that all of Noxus’ finest plate armor originates from the depths of the Delverhold.”

Oram puffed out his chest, his eyes full of pride, this was the confidence of the Valrokan family.

Alyssa stared at her stupid brother and said sternly, "Then think about whether the imperial soldiers and civilians in the Delver Castle agree?"

She didn't know whether this was her brother's idea or her father's.

But such a decision will not only affect the Diggers, but also the family and even the entire empire.

Just as Oram and Alyssa were arguing, the bear monsters in the distant mountains surged again.

The white snow-capped mountains had already turned red, and the bear monsters were stepping on the corpses on the ground and slowly rushing towards the Delverburg.

The surface of their bodies was covered with black liquid, and their furry hair was stuck together, creating a disgusting sight.

Only the blood-red eyes were relatively clear.

But the premise of clarity is only killing.

Rumble!

The snow-capped mountains roared, and the surging bear monsters were like an avalanche, furiously submerging everything they touched in their path.

Their numbers were so great and their power so terrifying that the Diggers Castle woke up immediately.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The bowstring exploded, and the black arrow was like the scythe of the god of death, with ruthless power, breaking through the cold wind and falling towards the waves below.

The barbed arrows accurately pierced the huge and strong bodies of the bear monsters, nailing them to the snow.

However, these ferocious bear monsters did not retreat because of the death of their companions. Instead, they were aroused with even stronger desires.

The rolling black waves touched the city wall, and the bear monsters began to climb up the wall with their sharp claws.

The bloody murderous light in their eyes became more and more intense, wanting to engulf the city.

At the same time, a giant bear of huge size attacked the steel city gate, making a deafening sound.

"these are"

Alyssa looked at the giant bears with huge bodies and different fur colors, and her pupils constricted.

"An out-of-control beast spirit walker?"
