When Li Ke woke up in the morning, the wind and snow still hadn't disappeared, and his tent was slightly lowered because of the accumulated snow. Fortunately, this surviving tent was still quite sturdy, so there were no signs of collapse.
He found that Lelles and Akalan were making some simple sleds, and from the looks of the sleds beside them, the two of them had been making them for a while. On the other hand, Cerna connected the sleigh to the horses, causing them to shake their heads restlessly. Some of them even looked at Li Ke because of his arrival.
"Didn't you sleep?"
Li Ke remembered that when he was asleep, they began to prepare these things. Coupled with the brand-new sleds, it was obvious that the two craftsmen didn't rest at night.
"Ah, Sir. Oh … Yes, because we will be passing through the territory of the Mountain Clan, it is very likely that we will be attacked by their warriors, so we want to be faster. But this kind of hastily made sleds won't last for long … "
Lelles nodded, and Akalan sneezed and nodded.
"Well, if you need to rest, tell Cherna. I will go chop some wood."
Seeing that the fire around them had already dimmed, he left the place and went to chop down trees with his axe.
On the way, he also saw Cherna, who was making breakfast with a few young girls. Her two children were now being watched by another girl. It was precisely because of this focus that Cherna didn't notice that Li Ke was awake until Li Ke walked past her.
The axe chopped on the dry tree trunk. This kind of tree that was withered due to the weather was unusually easy to chop down, so it didn't take long for him to chop down a short tree that was more than 5 meters tall. He dragged the tree to their temporary camp, and then the group of energetic teenagers broke the branches and tied it up with the remaining vines from yesterday.
Li Ke, on the other hand, took this time to rest and think about what to do next.
Although they had already decided to entrust these people to some reliable large tribes when they accepted them, they didn't want them to be taken care of. However, whether Aichy was as reliable as the background story and Cerna's description, Li Ke felt that it was better to see for himself. After all, just like how he didn't believe that Sejuani was a girl who hated to get married, Oudir was like a talkative old father. The real world was far more exciting and complicated than the world pieced together with the background of heroes.
Of course, the danger was also much higher.
But no matter how hard he tried to recall Aichy, he could only remember that she and Tridao had a political marriage. They only started to attract each other later on. That was why he had always thought that the Barbarian King had a higher status.
But now, the name of the Barbarian King Tedamir was really unknown. At least in the stories that Cerna told him about Aichy, this former top lane overlord didn't appear. On the contrary, there were many influential people that Li Ke had never heard of who claimed that they would be the first to climb into Aichy's bed.
Among these people, there was no lack of chiefs of large tribes or sons of battle matriarchs. They were all trying their best to get people to sing about their glorious achievements, hoping to increase their chances of becoming part of Eich's Blood Alliance.
Among these people, there was no lack of young talents in their thirties and forties. Even though they weren't considered old, Aichy and Sejuani were both in their early twenties. These married people obviously didn't want to marry the reincarnation of Aichy purely out of admiration. They had bigger ambitions.
Of course, due to the customs of Freldrod, it wasn't impossible for them to simply admire her. Because compared to those who lived in a warm environment and had complicated thoughts, the people of Freldrod were indeed relatively simple. They could easily give up their lives for an oath.
Therefore, as a veteran of League of Legends, Aichy, who didn't have any AD or C, if the Barbarian King didn't appear in front of her, she would probably only be able to marry him. The biggest possibility was that she would marry a bunch of representative old men to be her guests, and balance the conflicts and strengths of the tribes under her command by means of political tactics.
And most importantly, she would have to find a way to obscure the time of her pregnancy to prevent her successor's bloodline from being too obvious and causing her tribe to fall into civil strife.
Yes, just like the Battle Mother who was killed by Li Ke due to her carelessness, she gathered several Blood Alliance members on the same bed on the same night to confuse the identity of the father of her first child. Only then could she ensure that her child would receive the love and protection of all the Blood Alliance members.
Or else …
How high could the baby's survival rate be in a place like this?
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Li Ke smiled. He knew that he had nothing better to do. Why would he think about gossip about someone who had nothing to do with him? And it was in such a strange direction. Was it because he had been abstinent for too long?
After all, Aichy didn't have that many blood allies. She only married the Barbarian King, and how could a ruler of Freldrod have anything to do with him? As long as she accepted these people, he would immediately leave Freldrod and stay away from the disputes that could happen at any time.
Aichy, Sejuani, Lisandra, and Telamir had nothing to do with him. All he needed to think about was how to cozy up to Sylvie … I mean, Sivir, and let Azir and the others teach him as much magic as they could.
So even if the sky collapsed in Freldrod, Aoun and the others would hold it up. What did it have to do with Li Ke?
But while he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of metal scraping against each other. He subconsciously tightened his grip on his axe and warned the others loudly.
"Someone's coming!"
Along with his voice, not only did the camp instantly enter a state of alert, but the armored men no longer hid themselves and stood out in a bold manner.
But before Cerna, who rushed over with her sword, could speak, a black-haired man with a horned helmet and a sword that Li Ke was familiar with appeared before Li Ke. He raised his ridiculously large sword with one hand and questioned Li Ke arrogantly.
"Who are you people? Why are you in our new hunting ground! And why are you chopping down our trees! "
This sword …
Li Ke frowned because he was too familiar with this saber. Moreover, the person who came out made him wonder if he had Cao Cao's physique. Who would come out just because he said so?
"We are refugees. We have no hostility toward you."
But in order to avoid trouble, Li Ke decided to convince them with reason.
"I can see that. After all, even the most foolish leader wouldn't let a group of children go to the battlefield. But even so, you have taken away our property! "
However, those people burst into laughter, and Li Ke was able to distinguish their number from their laughter.
25 people. It was a relatively safe number, so he was slightly relieved. But in order to avoid a fight, he tried to solve the problem in a peaceful way.
"We can give you some food as compensation or other peaceful means."
However, the man with long flowing hair shook his head.
"Unfortunately, if it was before, I would be happy to make a deal with you. But we just took over this land, so we have to warn the people around us."
He paused for a moment and shouted loudly.
"I am Tedamir of the Alpine Clan! Outsiders! You must pay the price for your transgression! But in order to show my father's kindness, you can send a warrior to fight with me. If you lose, you will have to give up all your food. But if you win, in the name of my father, I will allow you to leave this place after paying the price of a tree! "
So he wants to fight? And he really is the Barbarian King.
Li Ke sighed. He stopped Cerna, who was about to draw her sword, and took the ordinary two-handed sword from her. He then walked up to Tedamir.
"You mean, as long as I defeat you, we can leave?"
He looked at Tedamir from head to toe and felt a little puzzled because Tedamir did not give him any sense of pressure. He even felt that he, the Barbarian King, was not as strong as Sejuani.
"Of course, I will do as I say. But I don't think you can do it. "
Teldamir, who had not yet grown a beard, patted his chest and said proudly.
"Alright then. I will be your opponent. "
"Your name."
"Li Ke."
Li Ke drew his two-handed sword and looked at the game hero quietly, waiting for him to attack. The Barbarian King did not let him down. Amidst the cheers of his people, the Barbarian King waved his big sword majestically and charged at Kieran. But looking at the Barbarian King's fierce attack, Li Ke only felt a sense of disappointment.
Because the current Tedamir was really too weak.
