What Li Ke wanted was Dryas to clean up those commanders who did not conform to his Noxus will, because doing so would allow the Frelljords, who were in the Noxus sphere of influence, to survive more.

Although doing so will inevitably lead more Frelljords to the Noxus, this is not too much problem. As long as the women and children who would have been killed survive, it will be victory.

Because Frelljord is really too short of people. Although we can see that almost all women of the right age have to have children every year, the lack of their population is still in front of us.

Therefore, the matter of Dryus not attacking tribes that were not hostile to the Noxus was very important to Ashe's future and could effectively increase her future people to a certain extent.

And since the two sides can maintain a tacit understanding on this matter, after Li Ke and Ai Xi successfully stopped the robbery, it was not impossible for them to develop trade and continue to strengthen Ai Xi's tribe.

The reason why Dryas would acquies was simple, because he would definitely feel that Freljord was destined to be a threat to Noxus.

Although he kept saying something that could not sit idly by the threat of Li Ke and Ashe growing into the empire, if anyone told him that someone could rebuild the Frellzow Empire without relying on the outside world, which would really pose too much threat to Noxus, he could press the guy's head in the mud to wake up.

Because although the Frellsords were so strong, it was because they did not have a clear political system, no important city, and they were completely a mess. Because there was nothing to lose, their robbery seemed so terrible, and they even needed to go deep into Frellsords to weaken.

But once they settled down and established a country, it would not be possible. No matter how brave and good their soldiers were, they would never be able to resist Noxus. Because becoming a country means that they have cities that can plunder and destroy, as well as food and materials that can support the Noxus march, and are no longer corrupt without any interests.

And after a country really appeared, Noxus' enemies in Freljord were no longer stragglers distributed on this ice field. They would gather together and form a conspicuous target.

Then, Noxus will crush this new country, plunder all the valuable things in this place, kill the troubles that gather together, and insert the Noxus flag into this land.

So it is a good thing for Noxus to appear in Frelljord, and the country established on this barren land will naturally be a weak country, and the whole world is enemies, so they can just swallow it in one bite.

After all, the plundering group of the Frellshodes is the same as their Noxus. With robbery and destruction all over the world, you can even see the plundering group of the Frellshodes in Shurima and Bilgewater!

It was impossible for Drayus to not understand such things, but his Noxus will, as well as his commands and mission, made many things impossible for him to do. So he would not agree with Li Ke's proposal, but he would not refuse, and would only slightly change the order of his work.

So after Li Ke was sure that his needs would be met, he asked another reason why he left Dryus's life.

"Also. I'm very surprised, Dryus, why did you come to me with only a few people? Can you tell me the reason?"

There is nothing unsaid about this question, because it can make the Frelljords themselves mess up.

"I, and my scouts, have been deceived. Among my information and the inquiries of my three scouts, you live alone outside a village, not a tribe of the mother."

He was a little ashamed and humiliated because he was trapped, which made him feel humiliated and angry, and a strong guilt. Because it was formally because of his decision that six loyal Noxus soldiers died worthlessly on this ice field, which became a unforgettable lesson in his heart.

"Can you explain it in detail?"

Li Ke knew that this was definitely done by Lisangzhuo. Although it might not be the order given by her personally, but the plan of her subordinates, there is no doubt that they definitely know both Dryus and Ash very well.

"...I was ordered to find a magical holy object, and with the help of a tribe loyal to Noxus, I found that holy object, but..."

He glanced at Li Ke and then sighed dissatisfiedly.

"When we raided them, the priests of that tribe killed their war mother, and put the flag of Noxus in their village. They knelt at the entrance of the village and offered us the treasure and all their food."

When he said this, Ash suddenly held Li Ke's hand because her mother was destroyed because the priests in the tribe betrayed them. It is precisely for this reason that the priests in her tribe were pitiful and had almost no real power.

And now, she heard another priest betrayed her tribe.

"Then he told me your existence, and they told me in public that a deserter from Noxus was vilifying Noxus in the hope of joining a small village with dozens of people. Then I learned from him that the deserter who defamed Noxus was the gladiator I had ever cared about, the gladiator who could recover no matter how seriously the wounded he was. So I sent a scout to inquire about your information."

When Drayus said this, the atmosphere of the people present became more serious, because this means that the people who were controlling all this behind the scenes knew the movements of Ash and Drayus.

"For reputation and for some other reasons, I had to deal with this matter, and the three scouts I sent out also told me that you did survive in an abandoned wooden house two kilometers away in a small village, so I took people to you... In fact, when you appeared in front of me with full arms, I knew they were confused by something. But the conversation between us didn't go well, and that happened."

After he said this, he spread his hands and said that he had nothing to say. Although he did hide some things, what he said was indeed what he had experienced.
