Chapter 454 Ashe's Plan(1/2)
While Tryndamere was angry, he couldn't help but worry about the future of the Avarosa tribe.
Those cunning Demacians were too vicious in their tactics, and seemed to be rushing to disintegrate their new tribal alliance.
"Ashe." Tryndamere asked worriedly, "It seems those Demacians have noticed us."
Although the Avarosa tribe has always had private trade relations with Demacia, at first glance they seem to have a good relationship.
But for a "Central Plains" farming kingdom like Demacia, an alliance of barbarian tribes on the ice plains can only be a potential threat, not a good friend who can benefit from each other.
In fact, whether it is the Avarosan Alliance or other southern tribes:
When the weather is good, everyone does some small business harmoniously with the Demacians. When there is a drought during the famine years and there is not enough food to eat, they will think of ways to go south to thresh grass and valleys.
Avarosa is no exception to this.
There's no way. The extreme winter in the Freljord is too harsh.
If we don't go south to "borrow" some grain from those farmers, many people will die of cold and hunger.
Although Ashe's ideal is unity and peace, as the leader of the Freljord, she must also face this cruel reality and prioritize the survival of her people.
Therefore, the Avarosa Tribal Alliance, which has emerged in recent years, has also had many armed conflicts with the Kingdom of Demacia.
And once the Freljordians break through the border defenses and break into Germany, let this group of real barbarians with no military discipline kill the homes of unarmed German farmers...
Then what they "borrowed" was not just emergency food.
Therefore, from the perspective of the Demacians, they have absolutely reason to regard the Avarosa Tribe Alliance as a life-or-death enemy and secretly murder them.
"A proud man who has the ability to integrate the tribes in the ice field is definitely not what Demacians want to see."
"They will definitely try their best to hinder your progress, destroy your career, and destroy the unity of the Freljord people."
Tryndamere looked at Ashe solemnly and said.
In his view, Demacia's policy of opening up trade and accepting immigrants this time was a deliberate strategy to disintegrate the Avarosan Tribal Alliance and destroy Ashe's life career.
"Maybe." Ashe's blue eyes still maintained a rational expression: "According to the information I learned from the caravan members, Demacia's trade opening policy is not only aimed at Freljord.
It's for all countries."
"For example..." She looked at the Hex speakers placed on the table: "These small magic props with the blue bird emblem are said to have been imported by Demacians from the distant Twin Cities."
Although Ashe has never been the monarch of a big country like Demacia, she can vaguely guess how much resistance she will encounter when making such a major reform.
If Demacia was just trying to deal with the Avarosan Alliance, then they could have opened up border trade to Freljord in a targeted manner, instead of drastically changing their national policy right from the start.
"So, it's hard to say whether they are intentionally targeting our Avarosa tribe this time," Ashe judged.
But the hostility in Tryndamere's eyes still hasn't subsided: "But Ashe, you should also understand:"
"Whether Demacia did it intentionally or not, what they did has seriously threatened us."
"If we let it go and allow those Demacians to open their country and lure the Ice Tribes to join us, in less than two years... all the Ice Tribes that you have finally integrated will be gone."
"That's...yes." Ai Xi sighed softly.
Her silvery slender eyebrows were slightly frowned again, and her eyebrows were filled with solemnity.
"We must take action," Tryndamere said.
"What do you think?" Ai Xi looked at her husband tentatively.
Then, not surprisingly, the young man known for his daring responded: "War!"
"Gather all the ice tribes and sweep across the Kingdom of Demacia!"
Tryndamere said seriously. Although his suggestion was simple and crude, it was not made randomly.
This method is really useful.
Don't you, Demacia, want to open your country to attract the Ice Tribe?
Well, I will rush into your house and grab it hard to see if you dare to open the door.
"By doing this, we can accumulate food for the winter for our Avarosa Alliance and solve everyone's food problem;"
"Secondly, it can also teach those Demacians a painful lesson and remind them of the reputation of our Freljordians."
Although he said he was famous, what Tryndamere wanted the Germans to remember was the hatred between them and the Freljordians.
He will use violence to create hatred, arouse hatred, and provoke a bloody feud between the two races.
This made the Demacians hate and fear the Icelanders, and also let the Demacian nobles know that the Icelanders were not domestic dogs that could be tamed.
Even if the Demacia royal family still wants to continue to accept the Ice Tribe, without the support of the people and nobles, their policy will never be implemented.
"This is indeed an effective method." Ai Xi nodded silently.
It's also a very Freljordian approach.
If it were Sejuani who had replaced the Winter's Claw, or any other War Mother of the Ice Tribe, they would choose war without hesitation.
But Ashe is different. What she longs for is unity and peace, treasures that the Freljord has never had.
"This method will kill many people." Ai Xi sighed softly.
"Demacia's border defenses are not so easy to break through."
The Avarosa Alliance is very powerful, but the Kingdom of Demacia is even stronger.
In the past, they were able to withstand the huge pressure from the Noxus Empire while still firmly guarding the northern border to prevent the large Freljordian troops from invading the mainland.
Now, the war between Demacia and Noxus has ceased.
Without the restraint of the old enemy Noxus, the northern defense line of the Kingdom of Demacia will only become more stable.
Those German veterans who have been tempered by the flames of war are no less inferior to the tribal warriors of Frejold.
Ashe has paid attention to the situation outside the ice sheet.
She knew that if she invaded German territory at this time, she would face a cruel war.
"A lot of people are going to die, and the funny thing is..."
The reason for their death, in the final analysis, was to prevent them from joining Germany and to prevent them from heading for a better life.
So Ai Xi feels mixed.
Her ideal is to bring unity and peace to the Freljord, so that the weaker tribes can survive the long winter.
But now, in order to realize this ideal, she wants to prevent everyone from going to a place where this ideal has been realized.
There are no cold nights or long winters in Demacia. There are only fertile lands and warm sun.
If the Freljors could have a home there, what would be wrong?
"No! Ash, you are too naive this time!" Tryndamere reminded solemnly: "There is no free lunch in the world!"
"Although the land of Demacia is large, not an inch of it is ownerless."
"How can you believe that these Demacians would be so kind as to share their land and food with the Freljordians who have a blood feud with them?"
There is no love without reason in the world.
What's more, this kind of selfless love transcends national borders and races.
Could it be that these Demacians believed in some good god and suddenly awakened to become good people?
This is unrealistic. Tryndamere believes that there must be something fishy about those beautiful rumors about Demacia.
"The Demacians themselves still have a lot of serfs who don't have enough to eat, so why should they share the food with us? This is not a sugar-coated bomb they fired in order to disintegrate the Avarosa Alliance!"
"They may now use some resources to bribe a few ice tribes under the pretense of good intentions."
"But when the news spread across the ice sheet and everyone began to believe that the Demacians had such good intentions, they foolishly betrayed Avarosa and went south to join them..."
"They will definitely tear off the mask of hypocrisy and attack those Freljordians who have fallen into the trap."
Tryndamere thinks very clearly.
Where does the united front value of these traitors come from? It's not because they have a powerful hometown behind them.
Once the Avarosa Alliance is successfully disintegrated and the Demacians achieve their strategic goals, these ice tribes will be of no use to the Demacians.
They will only become a burden in the competition for resources with Demacian natives, and become outsiders rejected by Demacian people.
By then, can they still enjoy the so-called happy life in Demacia?
Can the rumored "food, shelter, and adequate food supply" continue to be honored?
"This..." Ai Xi frowned.
She has also considered the questions raised by Tryndamere.
But according to her own judgment, Demacia's current round of national policy reform was huge and far-reaching, and it didn't seem to be specifically aimed at the Freljord people.
So, is this a trap?
Will the Freljordians really be happy after going to the south?
"Don't think about it." Tryndamere urged hard: "Ashe, we can't afford the gamble."
"Even if the bet wins, the happy ones will be those few people. Can Demacia still accept the entire Freljord Wasteland into its own home?"
To be continued...
