As she watched Sejuani leave in the distance, Ashe felt uncomfortable.

"Why is this happening? We were chatting and sharing everything with each other this morning."

Ashe fell to the ground, stroking her face with both hands, her voice mixed with a hint of tears.

Seeing this, Aidil slowly walked behind her, squatted down and patted her shoulder gently.

"It's not your fault, your concept is right, we should not discriminate against the weak, let alone oppress the weak."

Ashe turned her head and looked at Aidil and said, "Do you agree with what I said?"

"Haha! Of course I agree. After all, no one is born strong. In the face of natural disasters and primitive gods, humans can only increase their chances of survival by uniting together."

"Ashe, Sejuani's words are actually not wrong. With limited resources, it is also helpless for the strong to plunder the weak. It's just that I am a pacifist and an idealist like you, so I support your ideas."

Sejuani's departure made Ashe feel confused, and she even doubted whether she was wrong.

But Aidil's words made her regain her confidence, and she was glad that there were still people around her who could understand her.

"Thank you, Aidil. I will prove to Sejuani that even the weak can overcome all difficulties as long as they unite together. I will prove that my philosophy is not wrong."

Ashe's eyes gradually became firm.

"I will help you, Ashe. Even if it is just to repay the life-saving grace."

"You did not abandon me as a burden at the beginning. This is your kindness, and your good deeds will be rewarded, that is me."

Looking at the gentle smile on the other person's face, Ashe felt the warmth from her family in her heart.

She stood up and seemed to have made up her mind.

She took out a dagger and cut her palm, then stretched it in front of Aidil, and said with a serious face:

"I swear here that I will regard the person in front of me as a comrade, a relative, a confidant, share his pain, and protect him for life. Aidil, are you willing to make an oath with me?"

Looking at Ashe's outstretched hand, Aidil was stunned. He understood what the other party meant. This was a covenant ceremony in Freljord.

Once he agreed, he would form a brotherhood with Ashe. Although they were not related by blood, they were like brothers and sisters.

Aidil made a shallow cut on his palm, then held Ashe's hand, and the blood of the two people blended together at this moment.

"I do, Ashe. I will treat you as my family, support you like a relative, and protect you like a brother. The star gods in heaven will witness our friendship."

Although there were no priests or shamans to witness this ceremony, the stars in the sky shone on the faces of the two, witnessing everything.

"Star gods...?"

Ashe whispered softly, she looked up and saw a night of stars, like a bright eye shining.

After a moment of trance, Ashe came back to her senses and smiled.

She went forward and hugged Aidil.

"Thank fate for letting us meet."

Aidil was stunned for a while before he reacted. He also raised his hand and hugged the other party, and at the same time a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Favorability +20]

Just one oath increased Ashe's favorability from thirty to fifty, which shows that in Freljord, people attach great importance to oaths.

Once someone breaks the oath, he will lose his footing in the entire Freljord.

The two hugged each other for a long time before they separated, and Aidil said:

"Ashe, let's deal with those Ibrato people first."

"Yes."

The two walked towards the Ibrato people in the distance.

Ashe walked closer and said to the crowd:

"You saw it just now. Winter Claw wanted to kill you and take your food. We broke up with them for this. Do you plan to rebuild your home by yourself? Or follow us?"

The group looked at each other for a long time, and the slightly older man in the lead walked up and said:

"I am Zura Axehandle, the leader of Ibrato. Thank you for your life-saving help. We are willing to be at your disposal."

"I am Ashe from Avarosa. He is Aidil. Since you have made a decision, go and see if there are any survivors in the camp. By the way, collect all the useful supplies. We are ready to leave here at any time."

The crowd quickly started to act, looking for living people and looting supplies in the ruined camp.

Not long after, dozens of people came to the empty snow in front of the camp, and everyone had more or less miscellaneous items in their hands.

Although they knew that most of the food was taken away by Sejuani, they didn't expect that the other party didn't leave any.

This also meansThis means that these dozens of people will face a food crisis, but fortunately, Aidil still has some food left in the system space.

"Sorry, this is all we have left."

Zula led his people to offer the remaining property with an uneasy look, as humble as a slave trying to please his master.

Ashe looked at these people who lost their homes with pity, as if she remembered herself in the past.

"You don't have to do this. Whether you are ice blood or warm-blooded furnace dwellers, I treat you equally. I will not treat you as slaves. I am willing to treat you as relatives and recognize you as Avarosans."

Zula looked at her in disbelief. He had never seen an ice warrior willing to shelter a strange furnace dweller.

"Thank you, Ashe. It is fate that made you save us. We are willing to serve you as our leader and war mother and follow your guidance."

...

On the other side, Sejuani, who had parted with Ashe, took her people on the way back to the Winter's Claw.

Sejuani sat on the back of a Juvask boar, holding a wine bag in her hand, and drinking from it from time to time.

Her back was a little lonely, and she exuded a cold and cold aura that kept strangers away.

Obviously, the breakup with Ashe did not make her as relaxed as she appeared to be.

"Boss, there is a ravine ahead, and the road there is not easy to walk. Juvask is carrying a lot of food bags. Do you want the brothers to rest here and wait until dawn before returning to the tribe?"

Ekas rode a Juvask to Sejuani and said.

"No, this place is not far from the tribe. We will try to get back before dawn."

Ekas saw this and said nothing, but led the team to continue moving forward.

The team soon arrived at the trail in the ravine.

On the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the trail, a group of black shadows were watching the team below.

"The two Avarosans are not in the team. Only Sejuani is leading the team back. Should we still take action?"

A frost priest asked.

The frost priests knew about Sejuani and Ashe's departure.

For this reason, they even set up an ambush on their way back.

"It doesn't matter. Let's continue with the plan. Sejuani is also among our targets."

"Hasn't she always opposed the Winter Claw's attachment to our Frost Guard? This is a good opportunity to make her disappear. As for the pagan Ashe who obtained the throne of Avarosan, we will find a chance to deal with it later."

The leading frost priest showed a cruel smile on his face.
