"They retreated?"
Li Ke heard the news when he woke up early in the morning, so he looked at Aichy in surprise, trying to figure out what was going on.
"They probably found out that we're not a defeated army, so they did leave."
Aichy nodded. She and Li Ke were prepared for battle, but the Children of Ice tribe, who occupied the advantageous terrain, suddenly left, leaving behind a road full of traps and a lot of trash.
"I've sent scouts to follow them carefully, but from the current situation, we really don't need to fight them anymore."
She sighed, then looked at Li Ke.
"Those frost priests also left with them, but when they left, I found that a few Noxus people came in contact with them, and after that, they came in our direction."
Noxus people?
They're coming for me!
Li Ke's blood instantly boiled, because this word had brought him too much pain, and now it had actually come knocking on his door. He pinched his collar and looked at the two long swords embedded in ice beside him.
"How many of them are there? How long will it take for them to arrive? "
His voice deepened, and he began to smile. One of the soldiers behind him subconsciously took a step back after seeing his eyes.
"It seems that there are eight of them, and they'll arrive in three hours."
Aichy noticed that Li Ke was acting strangely. She raised her head and looked at Li Ke with concern, while Li Ke picked up his two long swords and stood up.
"Then you guys go first. I'll follow your marks tonight. If anything happens along the way, just use your two eagles to find me."
This was his own business, so he didn't intend to let anyone else get involved. He wanted to solve these troubles by himself. So he took the two swords and walked back to his tent. Aichy also stood up and walked side by side with him.
"You're going to find them? Then I'll go with you. "
She wanted to know why Li Ke became enemies with the Noxus people, even though it was normal to become enemies with the Noxus people in this world. But she still wanted to know Li Ke's past, and why this man showed such an expression.
"It's a personal grudge, Aichy. You've already helped me a lot by telling me that there are Noxus people. "
However, Li Ke rejected Eich's good intentions. After all, there were only eight of them. They weren't enough to defeat him. As long as he ambushed them in advance and used the vitality of the Ice People in his body, there wouldn't be any problems. After all, the strength of the Ice People was too terrifying in this world of ice and snow. When the ground under your feet could become a sharp blade that pierced your body at any time, how could you fight with peace of mind?
"But we are allies."
"You need to lead your tribe. Although I'm confident that you can choose your own happiness in the future, right now, your tribe needs your leadership. Don't come here to help me and let me kill to my heart's content."
Li Ke rejected Aichy again. Aichy pursed her lips, knowing that it was useless to say anything. So she could only sigh and give up the idea of finding out about Li Ke's past for the time being.
"In that case, wear the things I've prepared for you."
She pulled Li Ke's arm. Li Ke followed her into her tent and saw a full set of armor. This set of armor was much stronger than Aichy's body, so Li Ke immediately understood that this armor was prepared by Aichy herself. His purpose was to protect his body on the battlefield where the Son of Ice's tribe had been suppressed.
"Originally, I planned to order someone to tailor a set of armor for you after returning to the tribe, but the situation is critical, so I can only give you a set of armor first."
Aichy picked up the ox horn helmet on the armor and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke took it and tried it on. He found that it was surprisingly suitable. Except for the fact that it looked like a tauren, it was indeed a very good helmet.
"Do- …"
He wanted to thank Aichy, but as soon as he said the first word, Aichy put her finger on his lips and stopped him. This bold move obviously caused the atmosphere between the two of them to become strange again.
"There is no need to thank me between you and me."
After Aichy finished speaking, she looked at Li Ke expectantly. After seeing that Li Ke did not refuse, she showed a happy smile and asked someone to put on the armor for Li Ke.
This set of armor was the same as the one provided by Sejuani. It was obviously second-hand. There were traces of swords and sabers all over the armor, and the style of the armor didn't change much. Other than the addition of a back plate and a long sharp tooth on the arm guard that was connected to the gauntlet, there wasn't much difference between the two sets of armor and the whole set.
Li Ke did not care much about the armor. After asking the quartermaster for a hard bow and a quiver of arrows, he rode out of Aichy's camp and rushed in the direction that Aichy pointed to. Of course, Aichy would not let him go just like that. After Li Ke rushed out of the camp, she directly released her Falcon Spirit to let her companion guide and warn Li Ke.
She also left traces of her warriors.
Li Ke did not mind at all. He rode on his horse and galloped across the snowfield. He wanted to find the Noxus people as soon as possible and figure out what they were planning to do.
Unfortunately, when he saw the Noxus people, they happened to be on a plain. They were the ones who recognized Li Ke first, and Li Ke wanted to make sure that they were not innocent. That was why he did not attack them directly. That was why they were in a stalemate on the snowfield.
"I think you are the one we are looking for. The slave who killed a general, the immortal gladiator."
The man in the lead had a deep voice. He carried an exaggeratedly large axe on his back, and the thick armor on his body also revealed his identity. After all, Freldrod was not rich enough to afford a full set of armor for everyone. However, the way he addressed Li Ke made his blood boil because it was filled with a dark past.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to kill me?"
Li Ke jumped off his horse and pulled out his two ice weapons. He was ready to fight. But to his surprise, the man in the lead also jumped off his horse, but he did not pull out his weapon. He walked towards Li Ke and said something that surprised Li Ke even more.
"Kill you? No, soldier. I am here to bring you back to the team. Although your actions are indeed a provocation to the Empire, to me, you have only killed a piece of trash who only knows how to bully the weak. You have also proven your worth. "
After the man walked in front of Li Ke, he took off his cloak and hat, revealing a face that was about 30 years old or almost 40 years old. Then, he smiled.
"Let's get to know each other. My name is Delius, and I will be your future commanding officer."
