Along with the sound of ice breaking, Marukolo's body was first split into two from the wound that had been cut before. Then, accompanied by a few crackling sounds, the power that had entered his body exploded and turned into a wave of fire that shot up into the sky and engulfed him completely.

Chapter 77 still has to be a military general.
Marukolo was killed, but the battle did not stop.
The swarming Sons of Ice did not stop fighting despite the death of their leader. Instead, they continued to attack Fane and the others like emotionless fighting machines.
The sharp blade swung across the air, and the heavy sword chopped a charging Ice Child in half, along with his horse. But immediately after, another person came forward to attack Faen.
Fane did not just kill or fight blindly, but constantly collected intelligence during the battle.
Well-trained, fearless, well-equipped, and with excellent mounts... No matter from which aspect, this army is considered top-notch in the entire Runeterra.
The most important thing is that they have no souls of their own, which makes them immune to most mental pollution... yes, immune to mental pollution. This is the key to their ability to equip large quantities of True Ice weapons.
Taking a look at the black True Ice embedded in the corpse's armor, Faan nodded. Lissandra had sealed the Void Watcher with True Ice, but the Void Watcher's power was also constantly eroding the True Ice. This erosion had caused some of the True Ice to become a source of Void pollution, inaccessible to ordinary humans, while also causing some of the True Ice to continuously melt.
For example, the ancient Yordle, Gnar, became active again outside because the True Ice melted.
Thinking about it, Faan also realized something, and then shouted coldly: "Lissandra, everyone is dead, why don't you come out?"
"..."
No one responded to Faan, but the intensity of the Ice Sons' attack decreased significantly. Seeing this, Faan twitched his lips:
"You have to make others pay for the sins you've committed. Now that your plan has failed, you're just going to throw in the towel, right?"
"shut up."
After hearing Fane's words, a cold voice came from the Ice Son's army.
Through the scale powder, Fane was able to confirm that Lissandra herself was not here, but had used a method similar to possession to allow her consciousness to descend into the body of a certain Ice Child.
Now he lives in Bengbu, has come out, and has broken through the defense. Listening to Lissandra's cold voice, Faan also smiled.
"After Anivia entered the cycle of reincarnation, only two True Ice veins remained in the entire Freljord. One is in your possession, and the other is guarded by Çalüelel. The one you hold has either gradually melted or been corrupted by the Void. This black True Ice is the best proof of this."
Coming to the corpse of an Ice Son, Fane stomped on the black ice embedded in the armor.
"The power that allows you to walk in dreams originates from the void. In every dream, you must feign obedience to them, and upon waking, you must continue to strengthen their seal... How long has this despair lasted? Or, how long has it been since you slept peacefully?"
"That's none of your business."
"Then why is this happening now?"
Faan's face relaxed, but his voice was cold as he said, "Don't tell us these Ice Sons came here just to watch Ashe's coronation."
"It was Marukolo's own decision."
Lissandra responded calmly: "He asked me for help, and I did not respond to him."
"Ah? You can still pass the buck like that?"
Hearing this, Fane was shocked, then said, "Then I told Sejuani that I wanted you to be my lint ball. Sejuani didn't respond, so I just went ahead and did it. Do you think it would work?"
Hearing this, Ashe and Allura subconsciously turned their gazes towards Sejuani. Sejuani shrugged and said, "I have no objection."
Lissandra: "..."
"Not speaking? Not speaking means consent."
Faan shook his head in disdain. "You can even come up with such a reason. It seems you've truly been frightened by the Void's threat."
“…This kind of thing will never happen again.”
After a long silence, Lissandra said calmly, "I will not interfere with your plans unless it threatens the balance of this land."
"You are the only one who has no right to say this!"
Hearing Lissandra's words, Ashe asked coldly, "It has always been you who has endangered the balance of this land! Lissandra! Whether it's the Frost Priests or the Drakron Knights, these Soulless Sons of Ice are all your lackeys. Lissandra, do you remember how many tribes have been destroyed because of your rule?"
"This piece of ice originally had countless opportunities to usher in peace and allow more tribes to cooperate with each other. It's all because of you that it has become like this now!"
"No, more powerful tribes will only lead to more violent chaos in the ice field, which will accelerate the erosion of the void. This is why I am working so hard to maintain this precarious balance."
Lissandra and Ashe began to debate.
The two men exchanged blows with each other, much like the scene where the star-studded Tang Bohu and the top scholar of seven provinces and the general of staff confronted the king of kings with a fierce and iron-blooded argument.
However, compared to the one-sided finale, neither Lissandra nor Ashe could fully convince the other. Or perhaps, both were just being stubborn.
But no matter what, compared to Lissandra and Ashe who were eloquently quoting from classics, Faan on the side could only look at Sejuani with a confused look on his face after a moment of silence.
Sejuani continued to shrug. "Cerylda is a military commander, and so am I."
Fine also shrugged: "I just know about going urban and going rural... How about we go hunting together?"
Although it was not clear what Ashe and Lissandra were arguing about, Faan's intuition told him that the current situation did not seem to be something that could be solved by hunting?
Then you have to keep fighting until one of them is completely exhausted, thus achieving physical victory.
It would also be a victory for the hunt.
Sejuani: "We have to do something, right? We can't just stand there and watch."
Fahn: "Indeed...but this is an internal conflict among the three Ice Sisters. Wouldn't it be bad for me to suddenly get involved?"
Sejuani: "You've already done it... Never mind, now's not the time to get horny. So what should I say? What should I do?"
Fine stroked his chin, then shrugged. "If you have to say something, just say whatever you want to say. Don't lose face."
Sejuani nodded, pointed at the Iceborn army and shouted, "Lissandra, fuck your mother!"
Sejuani is indeed a military commander. I think her previous life, Serylda, must have had the same experience as Zhang Fei, roaring on the Dangyang Bridge. Ashe was still debating with Lissandra, but Sejuani's words overshadowed both of them.
Ashe and Lissandra both fell silent.
Sejuani felt so awesome.
It’s still fun to be a military general. Two civil officials argued for a long time but couldn’t convince each other, and the military general silenced them both with just one sentence.
78
Chapter 78 Never forgive.
Perhaps because they were not well educated, Faan and Sejuani did not think there was anything wrong with expressing their heartfelt wishes to others so directly.
Looking at this smart couple standing there with their hands on their waists, Ashe felt that what she had just said to Lissandra, "Peace and prosperity are what the Freljord needs," was inexplicably lacking in confidence.
But Lissandra did not answer, but just stood there quietly.
And in this brief awkward silence, someone raised his hand.
It was none other than Miss Rabbit.
For a moment, Faan also looked at Allura curiously, wanting to see what Miss Rabbit was going to say during the intermission of the Plastic Sisters' hair pulling.
"I am a Pawnee. I am not very familiar with the conflict between you humans and the three Ice Sisters."
Alola was experienced and put on some armor for herself.
After stacking the armor, Allura continued, "But judging from what you both said, it seems you're both working for the stability of the Freljord. I have some unique insights on that front as well."
Hearing this, Ashe cast a skeptical look at Faan. Although they hadn't spent much time together, Ashe knew Faan always knew things that ordinary people didn't. In a situation like this, asking Faan directly might yield some useful advice.
Just as Ashe thought, after hearing Allura's words, Faan nodded thoughtfully, and then motioned Ashe to continue listening.
"please say."
Ashe said to Allura.
After receiving the accurate answer, Allura took a deep breath, and her whole temperament changed from a lively and active little bunny to a serious and responsible beautiful teacher.
"Actually, both of your views are biased, because the world we live in is not just the material realm. Whether it's the peace that Miss Ashe talks about or the chaos that Miss Lissandra talks about, neither is what the Freljord desires."
Spiritual realm?
After realizing Allura's perspective, Ashe and the others, who were originally skeptical, nodded thoughtfully.
According to Faan and Alora, the spiritual realm is the most direct expression of all the desires and hatreds of the entire material realm. If certain things cannot be fully observed in the material realm and can only be analyzed through personal perception and concept, then these unquantifiable thoughts will have a more direct manifestation in the spiritual realm.
"The Freljord is a whole. The spirits of this land desire not only peace, but also the most primitive wildness, just like... just like the three ice sisters you once mentioned."
Allura explained: "The gentle and forgiving Avarosa, the warlike Serilda, and... and the once calm and wise Lissandra."
Lissandra: "..."
Seeing no one spoke to stop her, Allura said, "In my hometown of Yamu, there was a time in the past when many different spirits appeared. Among them, I discovered many outliers. These spirits were confused and misguided, wild and dangerous. But this was not their fault, for they were a manifestation of the problems facing this land itself."
Allura explained, "Due to the intrusion of mortals, the balance between the spiritual and material realms has been disrupted. The reason I left my homeland and decided to come to the outside world was to find the root cause of the spiritual creatures' suffering and help them find their way home."
Hearing this, Faen nodded and added:
"The material and spiritual realms of this land complement each other. In the past, the Ice Phoenix guided and protected this land, but now, Anivia is being born, trapped in the eternal cycle of life and death, unable to escape. The wrathful ram hides from the world, and his brother, Volibear, sleeps in the icy abyss. It is certain that when the demigod awakens, endless thunderstorms will lash the land, and he will recklessly unleash a bloody war... But this is not his fault, but the desire of the land itself."
Faan said seriously: "At first glance, Volibear is a cruel evil god, bloody, barbaric, and ruthless. But in fact, this is necessary. Because Volibear is the wildness of this land itself. Everything he does is to alleviate the bloodthirsty desire of the land of Freljord itself. This is an ecosystem that will not change because of the consciousness of an individual."
Hearing this, Miss Rabbit beside her nodded continuously:
"That's right! It's the ecology! Volibear represents the ancient, primitive, savage, and wild side of this land. Not only him, but also the Iron Mountain Boar, Frost Shadow Wolf, and Snow Mammoth... These ancient, primitive demigods are all longing for a return to the wild. Pursuing peace blindly is to oppose them, and in that case, those tribes that follow the ancient ways will become your enemies."
Allura looked at Ashe, and Ashe nodded thoughtfully.
The so-called ancient road actually refers to beliefs other than the Three Ice Sisters.
These tribes that believe in the ancient path often dedicate their faith to a primitive demigod, and thus survive and fight on this ice field as shamans, beast walkers, mystics, and beast whisperers.
While the faith in these primitive demigods wasn't as widespread as that of the Three Sisters, their combat effectiveness was considerable, especially after receiving a blessing—just like the two hunting lords that Faan had previously hunted. Before this, they were merely ordinary humans or Iceborn. While powerful, their strength was limited.
But after being favored, the lightning all over his body poured out as if it were free.
If stubbornly choosing peace means becoming their enemy, then there is no peace at all...
"Miss Lissandra is also wrong."
Alora said:
"Using violence to plunge the Freljord into perpetual chaos, preserving its elemental savagery to quench the land's inherent bloodlust... This was fine in the past, but the balance of the land is now broken. Continuing on this path is like drinking poison to quench thirst, and the thirst will only grow more and more, and the conflict will only become more severe when it erupts."
"Although it may sound strange to say this, I still hope that everyone can sit down and have a good talk... Just like in ancient times, the three sisters fought side by side to restore peace and wildness to their former close relationship."
"it's out of the question."
Ashe shook her head. "She has caused so much harm to the people of this land, causing death and tragedy to unfold over the past millennia... I cannot forgive Lissandra, or else the victims' grievances and justice will remain unaddressed."
"And... if you really want to count, among the three sisters, Avarosa represents peace, while Serylda represents war. And Serylda's reincarnation is now my sister Sejuani. Everything Lissandra does now is just a poor imitation of her sisters."

Chapter 79: Fane: Does this scene look familiar?
Glancing at Allura, Ashe expressed her understanding of Allura's thoughts. However, even so, Ashe had no intention of reconciling with Lissandra.
"Lissandra's crimes against this land are too numerous to list. If Faan had not appeared and sworn an oath to me, it would be my mother and our tribe that would be besieged here. For the deceptions I suffered, and for those who died as a result, Lissandra will pay."
Hearing this, Faan nodded and said, "According to Alora, it's actually the ecosystem that's been destroyed."
"Ecology? Isn't that a spiritual realm?"
Sejuani raised an eyebrow. "Why is it related to hunting again?"
"I feel like you're a little biased against me."
After hearing what Sejuani said, Faan curled his lips in disgust:
"Being a professional hunter is a testament to my comprehensive development in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor! Urban governance is fine, but my major is ecology!"
"If the spiritual realm is completely independent, that's fine. But if the spiritual realm and the material realm influence each other, then that's within my expertise, okay?"
"Do not."
Sejuani waved her hand and said with a bored expression, "I know your personality and sexual preferences very well. The only reason you're thinking this hard, besides trying to get me, is that the spiritual realm has plenty of good prey."
"Tsk,"
Faan uttered an unpleasant sound. Meanwhile, Ashe beside him actually thought it was nothing to be surprised about.
But no matter how unhappy you are, you must not forget the important things.
