Avarosa
That day when we fought the Bearman, Sejuani said that Udyr didn't force the Berserkers; they sacrificed themselves voluntarily. I don't think she had any reason to lie to me.
"I think you all know about Sejuani's defeat; she wants to resolve the conflict with Noxus now."
"This has nothing to do with our hatred."
"What I want to say is that after resolving the conflict, I talked to her a lot, including about the sacrifice of the berserkers. Actually, Udyr didn't force them; he just took the blame upon himself..."
I told Olaf everything about Volibear and Sejuani's words, and to my surprise, he accepted it very easily.
"I see. Sejuani is strong and cruel, but she never lies. I'll believe her for now. Since Udyr is still alive, we'll settle this score later!"
Now that the berserkers have reached a consensus, we will march on Avarosa with all our might. By the time we return to the barbarian homeland, there will be no one left.
Further ahead lies Avarosa territory. We halted, and Darius sent messengers to contact the Demacia army. They agreed on a date to advance together three days later!
These past few days, what I've been thinking about most is Uncle Wolf's mutation. His abilities come from Zaun, and now how will he respond to the Denor alliance?
From a victory or defeat perspective, I am not worried about our defeat. After all, our strength is undeniable. Once Kled regroups his scattered forces, we will be even more assured of victory.
No matter how powerful Uncle Wolf is, he can't possibly be a match for Kled.
Tryndamere might hesitate to fight Ashe, or even choose not to participate, but he will at least go all out against Uncle Wolf.
The berserkers fought with unwavering focus, leading the charge while Demacia provided support. Although it was only Jon's legion, their cover fire was incredibly powerful.
After calculating and recalculating, it seemed like there was no problem, but something still felt off. I shared my concerns with Riven, and she had the same feeling as me, so we went to find Darius together.
"Do you two think Uncle Wolf is still hiding some tricks up his sleeve?"
"Yes, Bernie, who besieged us before, was just a fool, but Uncle Wolf is no ordinary man, and he has an almost fanatical obsession with the tribe."
"I've also investigated this person; he was quite a powerful figure in his youth..." Darius said, recounting the information he had gathered.
Uncle Wolf was an outstanding warrior who became chieftain in his teens through his formidable personal strength. At that time, the tribe was not called Avarosa, but "Fang".
Some say he was exceptionally skilled, while others say it was inseparable from the help of his two older brothers. In any case, his rise to power greatly helped Fang.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—that's how the Fangs Tribe operates. They don't bully others, but if they are bullied, they will always find a way to retaliate.
Initially, Fang was not powerful, ranking only in the middle to lower ranks among the many forces. However, through years of management by Uncle Wolf, this inconspicuous tribe became a powerful force in the region.
The development of the Fangtooth tribe was not smooth sailing. After they grew stronger, they formed an alliance with two powerful tribes, but were later betrayed.
In that betrayal, the Fangtooth tribe suffered nearly half its casualties, and its territory was divided between the two tribes. Uncle Wolf fought desperately and finally led the remaining people to escape to the north, preserving the remnants of their strength.
Needless to say, this incident had a significant impact on Uncle Wolf, and I think his current reluctance to accept powerful races is related to it.
Later, he worked diligently to rebuild the tribe and successfully avenged his defeat, reclaiming his territory.
At this time, a father and daughter came to the tribe. The father was an ordinary person, but the little girl was extraordinary.
Unlike other girls, she was exceptionally beautiful, with silky white hair and skin as white as snow.
Uncle Wolf loved her very much and devoted himself to raising her, even passing on the position of clan leader to her, who later became Ashe.
This decision caused a lot of dissatisfaction at the time. Fang had just grown strong, and now it was being handed over to an inexperienced child. The future of the tribe was worrying.
Ashe, in particular, was a gentle person who always treated the weaker tribes with tolerance rather than conquest.
However, with Uncle Wolf's support, any objections were ineffective, a situation that changed after Ashe took control of the Crystal Bow.
She displayed extraordinary archery talent from a young age, and later, under Uncle Wolf's guidance, she went to the secret chamber of the Fang tribe and successfully mastered the Crystal Bow.
This Crystal Bow is a family heirloom of the Fangs Tribe, said to be a relic left behind by the ancient goddess Avarosa.
However, over countless years, the tribe members were unable to pull it open, including Uncle Wolf, and over time it was worshipped as a mascot.
Ashe successfully drew the Crystal Bow and fired a crystal arrow without using any arrows.
Although she was very weak after shooting the arrow, Uncle Wolf was overjoyed; his years of perseverance had finally paid off!
The news spread quickly throughout the Fang tribe, and the mere fact that they drew the Crystal Bow changed the opinions of more than half of them towards Ashe.
She and Uncle Wolf, one using soft tactics and the other hard tactics, one overt and the other covert, gradually devoured the surrounding tribes, and Sharp Fang grew to an unprecedented size.
The idea of "an eye for an eye" seems somewhat narrow-minded after a tribe has grown stronger, especially after uniting with many other tribes.
At this point, Uncle Wolf proposed that Ashe was the one who inherited Avarosa's legacy and should be honored as Queen! So the tribe was renamed Avarosa, and people gradually came to believe that Ashe was the reincarnation of Avarosa herself and would lead Freljord to unification!
Later, Ashe acted more and more like a Queen, Uncle Wolf also hid himself more and more, gradually fading from people's sight.
Of course, his influence remains unique. Normally, people wouldn't go against Ashe's wishes, but things are different when Uncle Wolf secretly intervenes.
However, Uncle Wolf rarely interfered with Ashe's decisions and continued to support her as always. At the same time, he also protected the development of the tribe in his own way.
Darius was surprised by the extent of his knowledge of Avarosa: "Your ability to gather information is still so powerful, truly admirable."
"Actually, these are all very common rumors. You can easily find out about these things by asking a few old shepherds or experienced hunters. It's just that people rarely connect them together."
"Okay, you always manage to achieve your goals in the simplest way."
Indeed, many seemingly complex things can be understood simply by going through the process from the beginning. Constantly seeking out the hidden secrets can lead to losing one's way. Darius taught me this lesson.
