Defeating the Bearmen

I've participated in several large-scale battles before, but this is my first time fighting in a forest. ☺🐯 💲🐉

Sejuani made full use of the terrain to mitigate their numerical disadvantage, much like when the Ionia alliance fought against Swain.

Of course, Swain never intended to fight to the bitter end from the beginning, which is why the Allied forces dragged it out for so long.

Darius was different; he didn't expect Sejuani to submit. For him, military conquest was the best shortcut against such an enemy.

As the Noxus army pressed closer, Winter's Claw's range of activity shrank, and I finally saw Sejuani in person.

The moment I saw her, I knew she was a descendant of the Sejuani, because she looked very much like the strong woman I had seen in the Storm Ruins.

Ashe and the long-haired beauty in the Storm's Ruins have similar temperaments, but their appearances are quite different. Sejuani is basically a re-creation of the afterimage of Sejuani.

Fortunately, I didn't see any members of the Berserker tribe; I don't know if they were lying in ambush elsewhere or hadn't participated in the war.

According to Gragas, Hris rushed back to his tribe when the war began, so they should have participated in the war. Hopefully, they won't meet on the battlefield.

Sejuani rode her signature war boar, which was about the size of Ironhorn Bull, with one of its tusks broken off, and looked ferocious and terrifying.

She was hurling vulgar insults at the Noxus soldiers, clearly trying to incite conflict, but Darius had already given orders that this battle must be fought under command and that no one should act rashly.

Sejuani, seeing that her provocations were ineffective, stopped her tirade and said to Darius:

"It's foolish of you to conquer Freljord by force. No one can conquer this place. Judging from your cautious demeanor, you must have already discovered our trump cards. Why do you still dare to attack?"

"Let me see if the Bearman are as terrifying as the legends say. But don't worry, even if the Bearman can't save you, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, as long as you surrender."

"Hahaha... then come at me!" Sejuani said, retreating back into her army, her mind made up.

As Darius ordered the entire army to attack, the massive encirclement shrank instantly. The soldiers encouraged each other to advance and soon engaged in Winter's Claw.

The battle between the valiant Noxus soldiers and the fearless Freljord warriors was far more brutal than the battle in the eastern mountains.

This situation lasted only a short time; almost as soon as the two armies made contact, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky.

Just then, the fog had mostly dissipated, and dark clouds shrouded the forest in mist once more. Then, thunder rumbled, shaking the very soul!

Not only the Noxus soldiers, but even the Freljord people were terrified. Soon, several ferocious beasts appeared in their sight— the Bearman had arrived!

They were almost identical in size, about the same size as the Man-eating Bear I killed in the arena, not as exaggerated as Twisted Fate had described.

These Bearman were all standing, clad in armor, exuding not only a bloodthirsty aura but also a sense of greed.

Without a doubt, it's our turn to step in!

All the elite squads around were mobilized. These people came from various units and were the strongest warriors in Noxus. It would have been difficult for them to gather together if it weren't for this situation.

Ordinary soldiers who couldn't retreat in time were torn to pieces by the Bearman. Their thick skin and tough armor made them virtually immune to any sharp weapons.

Fortunately, there weren't many Bearman, only about twenty. A few of us, including Riven, Darius, Rappor, could fight them one-on-one. The rest of us had to team up to take on one each. Kled didn't make a move because Twisted Fate had said there was still one giant Bearman that hadn't appeared yet.

Soon after, a commotion broke out in the enemy camp. Seeing the boulders flying everywhere, I guessed that it was Gnar was behind it.

While we were all fighting, he went off to destroy our own base. What a genius!

Just when I was slightly distracted, I was almost hit by the Bearman's attack. You really can't let your guard down!

Facing such an enemy, I could not linger in battle. I gathered the Gale Force, first stripping away his armor, and then slowly slowing down his movements.

As frost formed on the Bearman, I prepared to finish him off!

Just as I thrust my Gale Sword toward his throat, the Bearman suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning, shattering the thin ice on his body and knocking me back.

The power of thunder is indeed terrifying!

This made me completely lose patience. After increasing the power of the Gale Force, he could no longer use lightning.

After all, it was someone with the Blood of Ice who taught me this skill, so its power is extraordinary!

Having defeated my enemy, I began to share the burden with the others, and Darius was delighted to see that I had won so quickly.

"I didn't expect your skills to improve so much; it's truly gratifying."

"You'd better be careful, I'll go help the others first!"

Darius's battle won't be easy, but it looks like he'll still be able to win.

Actually, I've always had doubts about his strength. The first time I saw him fight was when we encountered the giant wolf in the Icefield. He seemed to be struggling at that time. Later, during the coup, he showed considerable strength when facing Darkwill's Death Guard.

He can still easily handle even stronger Bearman, but what exactly is his potential?

Rappor's battle was evenly matched; he was also a brute-force warrior, and he fought the Bearman to a standstill. If it weren't for the difference in size, he probably would have won easily long ago.

Riven was the second to win; she slashed the Bearman's arm with her greatsword and then froze him.

The others didn't fare so well. They could withstand the violent power, but the thunderous force left them covered in wounds.

We quickly went to their aid, freeing up more of their manpower to deal with the same single enemy.

After I defeated five enemies, I felt a bit exhausted, and my arms were numb from the electric shocks, but by then the outcome was already decided.

Riven and I created over a dozen ice sculptures. Darius killed one, Rappor severely injured another, and together we defeated the remaining two.

Only three Bearman remained on the field, confronting us. They were covered in wounds, but remained silent, their small eyes filled with murderous intent!

On the other side, Sejuani's remaining forces were also gradually losing ground, and she retreated to one spot, desperately holding on.

Just when we thought the war was about to end, a roar rang in our ears, and a huge afterimage appeared in the air.

Beneath the afterimage, a person of medium build slowly emerged from the very center of the Winter's Claw.

He was clad in animal skins, with short, thick hair and beard, and his eyes seemed to burn with fury.

Are you ready to face my rage?
