Chapter 469: Ashe's Generosity(1/2)
Udyr's sudden change of identity caused the scene to fall into an eerie calm.
Everyone was watching him. Only Olaf was still yelling and charging with his ax.
"Let's take action! Locke..."
"Bang!" Galio knew how resistant this guy was to being beaten. This time he stepped on it and didn't move away.
The battlefield finally returned to peace.
Sejuani finally couldn't help but asked: "Udyr, you... do you know them?"
"Yes." Udyr nodded.
Then, he looked up at the sky with an moved expression, seeing those familiar faces.
His relationship with Lux, Sona, Silas and other German leaders is not superficial.
During the decisive battle of Baru'a, Udyr and Li Qing followed the monks of Sirana Monastery and joined the anti-Norman united front led by the leader.
Si, Sona and others fight side by side.
And Sona happened to be born in Sirana Monastery.
The masters and monks who helped Udyr practice were also acquaintances of Sona's since childhood.
So the two sides are not only comrades-in-arms, but also brothers and sisters from the same sect.
Later, they became like-minded comrades. It was not until later that Lux and others wanted to participate in the military reform practice in Barua, and Udyr returned to Sirana Monastery with Li Qing to continue practicing, that the two parties lost contact.
With these three relationships, Udyr naturally formed a lot of friendship with those German leaders.
"Comrade Lux, Comrade Sona, Comrade Silas..." He could almost call out the names of the Demacia leaders flying in the sky.
"Comrade Udyr! Why are you here? We thought you were still in Ionia!" Lux and others also expressed surprise at his appearance.
"Not long after I returned to the monastery, I completed my final practice." Udyr also responded enthusiastically: "Later, I returned to my hometown and found my former tribe - as you know, the Winter Palace.
claw."
"What about you?" He revealed a hint of expectation: "Look at it like this. Your fight in Demacia has been successful, right?"
"Yes, we succeeded." Lux smiled: "Although it is only a small step, but..."
"That's enough!" Sejuani finally couldn't help but interrupted the heated exchange between the two parties, which was like a reunion between long-time friends in a foreign land.
She finally came to her senses: "Udyr——"
"These Demacians are the leaders you are talking about?"
"Yes." Udyr nodded.
Sejuani's heart sank. She was originally unbeatable, but Udyr, the strongest fighter on their side, suddenly transformed into the opponent.
"Why is the leader here?" She could only ask through gritted teeth: "Why is he here with Ai Xi?"
"And you...have you been working with them to plot against me from the beginning?" Sejuani was a little skeptical. Could it be that Udyr, the leader of the wind, and Avarosa were planning this from the beginning?
The next game.
"This is just an accident. Don't forget, my suggestion is for you to come back to Ionia with me. You chose to come here." Udyr choked Sejuani back with one sentence.
"And..." Udyr looked up at Lux and the others.
He said with confidence: "They are not with Ashe, but with the Freljordians who need help."
"Sejuani, I believe that as long as you are willing to live in peace with them, they will help you selflessly."
"I..." Sejuani's face was extremely confused.
"To live in peace? You mean, let me surrender to Ashe and those Germans?"
Although Ashe had no choice but to surrender yesterday, this did not prevent Sejuani, who knew nothing about the inside story, from regarding her "brother in distress" as a member of the leader.
Asking her to surrender to her old enemy? How could she bear this anger!
What's more, she was the King of Freljord who was about to be successfully crowned ten minutes ago. Now let her surrender and submit?
This psychological gap is really too big. Sejuani can't accept it.
"No! Udyr, I don't care whether they are leaders or Germans, living saints as you call them or shameless villains, I will never surrender to them!"
"Winter's Claw, never surrender!" Sejuani was gritting her teeth, preparing to give an impassioned explanation.
"Okay, no problem." But this response suddenly came from the sky.
"Huh?" Sejuani was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lux who said this.
She thought it was Lux's sinister mockery.
Unexpectedly, this German girl actually told her in a serious tone: "War Mother Sejuani, you don't need to surrender, and we don't need you to surrender. We just hope that the war can be ended as soon as possible to avoid meaningless casualties."
"If you want, you can take your people and leave now."
"Of course, if you are still willing to get along with us, then you can definitely stay - this city of Laxtaq and the surrounding land can be given to you, the Claws of Winter."
"Huh?" Sejuani was doubting her ears.
The warriors of Winter's Claw also felt their hearts skip a beat.
They are obviously going to lose, but the other party still gives away the territory for nothing? Is there such a good thing?
"Yes, Sejuani." Ash confirmed very sincerely.
She stood up and explained: "I have decided to lead Avarosa's tribe to move to Ningshuang Port."
"If you need it, you can stay in Larkstadt."
"Why?" Sejuani looked confused.
Rakstak is not only Ashe's long-standing foundation, but also the "heart" of the Freljord.
Whoever can establish a foothold in Rakstak can project power from this city to the entire southwestern ice sheet, and then control the most fertile land in the Freljord.
And whoever can control this land can save more food, recruit more tribes, and then become the king of Freljord.
Around the Larkstadt area, there have been more than hundreds of large-scale battles in the past dynasties, and it is difficult to explain the right and wrong.
However, the war mothers all noticed that it was in this ancient city that determined the rise and fall of many tribes, one rising and another falling, so there has been a saying in ancient times of "chasing the deer in Lakstak".
But now, Ai Xi is telling everyone seriously that she doesn't want this place anymore?
Are you going to give it to Winter's Claw for free?
"Warmother Ashe!" Not to mention Sejuani, the Avarosan warriors left behind in the city were also stunned.
Everyone thought Ash was crazy.
But Ai Xi still said seriously: "Believe me, everyone."
"Lakstak can no longer satisfy our yearning for a better life. In Ningshuang Port, there is a more promising future waiting for everyone."
She does mean it.
Along the way, Lux asked Sona to share more memories with her, allowing her to fully understand the outside world and how much change the world was facing.
Ashe realized that Tryndamere was right, this was a rare development opportunity for the people of Freljord.
Tens of billions of subsidies to Jiaduoduo, whoever misses it will be stupid.
Therefore, Ashe agreed to the early cooperation development plan of Freljord proposed by the leader - that is, to move the main force of Avarosa's tribe to the Frost Harbor in the west.
Frost Harbor is close to the sea and adjacent to Demacia.
Although this port is still unavoidable from freezing in winter, the traffic conditions here are already ten thousand times better than that of Lakstaq, which is located on the vast ice field and is blocked by numerous mountains.
Moreover, Ningshuang Harbor was originally the old capital of the Avarosa Tribe, and the "Land of Dragons" for Ashe's ancestors.
In the past, Ashe chose to make Rakstak the capital in order to "defeat the Central Plains" and unify the Freljord.
But now the main theme of the Freljord era has jumped directly from unifying the ice fields to modernization and development.
In today's era of globalization where sea power is paramount, industrialization construction around the world must start in coastal areas with shipping and transportation advantages.
Compared to other regions, Freljord’s situation is even more special:
Due to the extremely harsh natural and transportation conditions of the ice sheet, even the generous Zaun Herald Association is cautious about the plan to comprehensively aid the Freljord.
There is no other reason than that construction on frozen soil is too difficult and the cost is too high.
The leader currently does not have the ability to develop the ice fields, build railways, and build cities on them.
To carry out such a large project, we must have matching productivity. Otherwise, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would build the canal, which would harm the country and the people.
Moreover, even if the leader really has the ability to build a number of modern industrial cities on the ice sheet...
Limited by the additional costs brought by personnel heating, equipment maintenance and transportation, whether these cities can operate well for a long time is still a question.
We must know that the population of Siberia has been slowly returning to Eastern Europe even since the 1960s.
As time goes by, when the large mines that are easy to mine and make huge profits are exhausted, the return on investment in permafrost development will decrease significantly.
By the 1980s, in an international environment characterized by internal and external troubles, the high-cost oil and natural gas developed in the tundra could no longer be sold at a high price, and some large-scale projects were unfinished.
In the following decades, without the central investment blood transfusion, those permafrost cities with high transportation, construction, production and living costs accelerated their decline in the competitive environment of the market economy. Permafrost cities
