He Comes From the Void

The troll scout squatted in front of a rag buried under the snow. The cold air stinks of human sweat and fire smoke. He pulled out the rags and saw a talisman hanging from one corner. The amulet was dimmed under a clouded sky, but he recognized its origin: Avarosa.

The scout brought the amulet back to Trundle, the king of trolls, and handed it to him: "My lord, I have discovered the next village of Avarosa, which is in the woods ten miles away."

Trundle glanced at the amulet, and then looked around. The southern trolls around him were smaller than the northern trolls, but even so, they were more than enough to deal with humans. As far as he is concerned, he would rather take these southern trolls on the expedition, because they are smarter, unlike the northern trolls who can't even understand the words.

The surrounding trolls seemed to sense that the expedition was imminent, and they gathered around one after another. Trundle grinned and held up the bone crushing rod in his hand.

"Get ready to attack them!"

The trolls roared in unison, and suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky... Before the trolls could react, they saw a cloud of white smoke exploding from the black shadow on the ground, and the snow on the ground was covered by the intense gas. The waves flew away.

When all the snow fell to the ground, the trolls saw that their king had fallen to the ground, his head buried deep in the snow, and beside him stood two weird men wrapped in carapace.

The gender of the two weirdos can be seen from the body contours. The man was twisting his wrists, as if he had punched Trundle to the ground; the woman was staring at them, the pods glowing frighteningly purple behind her.

A few trolls cursed and leaned towards the high point where Trundle was, only to see a dazzling light flashing in front of them, a series of lasing missiles hovered in the air and then fell, amidst the loud explosions, their voices were all stopped.

The number of annoying trolls disappeared in an instant, and there were more broken limbs on the ground. Even the trolls felt the stench of the burning smell, so they couldn't help but shy away.

Even if these trolls couldn't figure out the situation, they knew they couldn't approach them rashly. In the chilling silence, Trundle groaned in pain, gasped for air, and gradually got up with his arms propped on the ground.

As soon as the king of trolls raised his head, he saw a figure like a nightmare, looking at him with three horrified eyes.

"It's you?!"

"Be safe, Trundle." Kahn responded to Trundle's surprise with a laugh, and his tone was as familiar as an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He felt that the other party's next sentence was about to talk about the weather.

"Today's weather is not bad, with dark clouds, suitable for murder and arson...Are you right?"

"Why are you here? What are you here for?" Trundle replied, reaching for the bone crushing stick beside him.

Before he got the stick, he felt a sudden thump in his heart, because Kahn noticed his little movement and stepped on his ready-to-move palm with his foot.

"Tsk tsk." Kahn shook his head: "Is it because the lesson just now is not enough, and you still want to take a blow?"

Catch the thief first and capture the king first, Trundle fell silent, and Kahn saw that the deterrence had taken effect, so he said to him, "King of trolls, take your men back, don't let me If I see you again in Avarosa's territory, I can let you go."

His voice was not loud, only the two of them could hear him clearly, and he saved the face of the troll king for him in front of the tribe.

It's just that Kahn didn't expect that Trundle would dare to refuse. He only heard him say: "No, Lissandra will kill me!"

"Are you not afraid that I will take your life now?"

Being questioned by Kahn, Trundle was speechless. He also wanted to fight back, but he was well aware of the gap between them and had to lie flat.

Karn asked, "Is it Lissandra's intention to let the trolls invade Avarosa?"

"yes."

"What is she planning?" Kahn speculated on Lissandra's intentions, did Avarosa's expansion threaten her?

"Could it be because of us?" Kai'Sa said, "Seeing that we joined Avarosa, Lissandra has a grudge and wants to fight us."

"Not really. The timing is wrong, the trolls started invading before we joined."

Unable to think of a reason for the time being, Kahn refocused on Trundle. He warned: "Listen Trundle, if you want to go back alive, stop your aggression against Avarosa. This is an ultimatum, don't let me see you again, or I will really tear you apart .”

"If I can't fulfill Lissandra's order, I will die if I go back."

"How could it be?" Kahn said, "Speaking of which, I am helping her solve the problem. If she understands, she will make concessions."

Trundle mused. He understood a little, but not quite.

Probably what Lissandra wants him to do hinders Kahn, and what Kahn wants to do is also related to Lissandra, and it is more important to her. What Kahn meant was that if he made it clear to Lissandra, she would understand his difficulties.

From Kahn's point of view, this matter will be more clear.

Karn asked Trundle to retreat in order to learn the whereabouts of the Ice Phoenix from Ashe, so as to seek help to strengthen the watcher's seal. Not only could Lissandra not embarrass them, but she had to give them convenience, so Trundle's retreat should not be punished by her.

"Is it all right as long as I take the people out of Avarosa's territory and stop invading?" Trundle didn't want to fight against Kahn, but he didn't fulfill Lissandra's order, and he didn't want to go back to see her, even though Karn had promised that Lissandra would not kill him.

Faced with such a situation, the troll king had his own plan with a thought.

He was confirming some rules with Kahn, so that he could take advantage of the loopholes in the rules later and have a good time between the two.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. Leave me now, before I change my mind, you know... dead trolls are always more pleasing than living trolls."

Kahn nodded impatiently, he was too lazy to waste time on these trolls. Silencing the trolls might earn Ashe more favors, but he didn't have to do it for her. And without Trundle's restraint, who knows when those trolls will attack the village of Avarosa again.

"Okay, it's a deal." Trundle withdrew his hand from Kahn's feet, picked up the bone smasher and waved it, sending out a battle cry of retreat.

These trolls were like overwhelming mountains and seas when they invaded and charged, and they retreated like a tide when they retreated.

When the last troll disappeared from sight, Karn sighed softly.

"That way you can move on to the next step."
