On the second day, when Li Ke left, Delius and Curieta were already preparing to evacuate the large number of troops stationed here. They didn't continue to follow Li Ke. Li Ke also brought along a cart of rations, armors, weapons, and heavy machinery. But even though they were prepared, when they stepped out of the Fortress and stepped onto the never-melting snowy plains of Freldrod, the people from Peel City couldn't adapt to the harsh conditions.
As for the reason, it was because Skin City was located near the equator of the Rune Continent. There was almost no snow all year round. Only when it was extremely cold would some snow fall. Usually, the temperature wouldn't drop below zero. But what about Freldrod? The hottest summer of the year was only in the single digits. Therefore, when the people of Peel City stepped into Freldrod, their behavior wasn't inferior to Southerners wearing winter clothes to Siberia.
Their bodies simply could not withstand such a high temperature, especially after the temperature dropped by nearly ten degrees after crossing a mountain peak. After all, the summer of Freldrod was long over. Now that the people of Freldrod were preparing for winter, these people who looked down on Freldrod wouldn't have a good ending. Almost at the same time, a dozen workers from Li Ke's group collapsed on the spot. If it weren't for Li Ke using magic to maintain their body temperature, perhaps the cold wind would have sent them to eternal sleep in this foreign land.
"It's … It's really cold …"
Lilia and Tanuki curled up together. Not only were they using the blanket to warm themselves, but they were also using their furs to keep each other warm. Born in Ionia, it was like spring all year round. Even though they were strong, their resistance to temperature wasn't as good as the workers in Pi City who had worked hard. That was why they were like this when they came to Freljord.
"Bear with it. After all, this is Freldrod. You have to learn how to use your mana to protect yourself from the cold wind."
After receiving the report, Li Ke dismounted from his horse. He sensed that the wind was getting stronger. He couldn't help but use the Divine Right of the Goddess of Storm to sense if the wind would bring about a storm. But the result left him helpless. An unusually huge storm would arrive in ten minutes. If they couldn't find a cliff to shelter from the wind and snow, they would definitely be swallowed by the storm.
Regrettably, they were still less than 20 kilometers away from Fort Noxus. The rugged mountain path and the snowstorm greatly slowed them down. Even though Li Ke's men were all elites and were well-equipped to travel in the snow, it didn't change the fact that they were only 20 kilometers away from Fort Noxus.
"… Forget it, let's rest."
Due to the approaching snowstorm, Li Ke couldn't urge his exhausted followers to move forward. Moreover, they happened to be in the center of the snowfield. Therefore, he took out a pine cone from his pocket and slammed it into the ground. Then, he summoned a trace of sun flames to melt the hard ground and turn the accumulated snow into clear water. In the end, he used his ability to build a circular fortress made entirely of wood in the cold snowfield for his followers to use. When the last follower pulled the carriage into the three-story fortress he had built, the blizzard that he had foreseen with the power of the Goddess of Storms had arrived as expected. Endless wind and snow assaulted the fortress.
But now, Li Ke's men didn't care anymore. They lit a bonfire in the fortress and prepared warm food to survive the night. The Camel Beasts in the carriage could finally rest by the warm bonfire. The workers who couldn't hold on any longer finally regained their strength. They no longer looked like they were on the verge of death. On the other hand, Li Ke's expression didn't look too good because the natural energy he could borrow in this place was too little. That was why he could only use his own energy to fill in the gaps. But even so, the consumption of energy to accelerate the growth of the plants was astonishing.
"The consumption has increased by dozens of times. The suppression of this land is really too serious."
Li Ke sighed slightly. He had tried his best to provide the best conditions, but the consumption was still so shocking. This made him feel the frustration of 'mortals' for the first time in a long time. After all, it was because of this that he couldn't directly use his ability to farm. In the end, after his strength improved tremendously, this land still taught him a lesson. The growth of plants depended on the environment, and there was no way to cheat.
"If I hang the Dyson Sphere directly on Freldrod, it should be able to solve this problem, right?"
But since he couldn't solve the huge consumption problem, Li Ke thought of a way to solve the problem of the harsh environment. That was to directly use the Dyson Sphere to change the natural environment. When all the ice and snow were melted by the Dyson Sphere and the cold air was heated into hot air, the frost of Freldrod wouldn't be a problem anymore. But Avernia would probably fight to the death with him, and he would also have to fight the unsealed Frost Watchers.
"Why don't I just go and kill them all?"
Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but start to plan. After all, he had a special attack ability against Void Creatures. If he planned it well, it wasn't impossible. As long as he got a suitable weapon, he might be able to solve the hidden problem of Freldrod before dealing with Yatokus. He might also destroy Lisandra's forces and completely unify Freldrod.
But just as he was thinking in the snow, outside his fortress, there was a group of people who were constantly moving forward.
"Silas, and Honey, use your magic to maintain the temperature for us."
Sejuani, who was constantly riding, looked at the flying snow in the sky and immediately issued her order to the few youths in her team. The freckled youth couldn't help but tremble all over. He had to be supported by the youth named Sareth beside him to stand firm.
"Yes, Madam Sejuani."
"Call me Battle Mother."
"Understood! Madam! "
The youth named Silas nodded and answered the woman who provided them with food and shelter on behalf of his friend. Then, he smiled apologetically at his friend, reached out, held his friend's hand, and absorbed a part of the magic in his friend's body.
"Oh … This feels terrible."
Hani couldn't help but grumble as though something was being extracted from him, which made him very uncomfortable. Sareth could only reveal a shy smile.
"It can't be helped, Honey. Who asked my magic to be so useless? Without you guys, I can't do anything. "
Honey curled his lips and immediately manipulated his innate talent to form an air wall around everyone in the team to protect them from the direct attack of the cold wind. Silas, who was beside him, assisted him and helped him complete this matter. Although it was strenuous for him to do this, and the feeling of exhausting his magic and having his magic stolen by Silas was uncomfortable, they all showed happy expressions after doing all this while sweating profusely.
Because they were people who were abandoned and even spurned by their own families. And the ones who allowed them to survive were the tribes of Aichy and Sejuani that they once feared. So being able to use their own power to help them do something and gain the respect of these people really made these abandoned people very happy. And even the destination of their journey this time was the country that was rumored to be occupied by that man. The country that once frightened them was the same. After all, they had long been expelled from Demacia by the Demacians and were no longer treated as compatriots.
So what's the big deal even if they go to Noxus?
They would just be hated anyway.
