"So this is how you are going to play, Ice Wolf clan." Valthor immediately saw through the Ice Wolf clan's strategy. The new subordinates in Thraug Frostclaw's team likely belonged to the Ice Wolf clan. He hadn't expected the Ice Wolf clan to be so cunning, but he wasn't particularly concerned.
As the heir of the Ice Elves, his troops had a Loyalty rating of over 90%, while the members from the Ice Wolf clan probably had lower loyalty towards Thraug, which would significantly affect their strength during the trial.
Furthermore, the Ice Wolf clan attempted to save face and replaced only half of Thraug's team with their less renowned members.
"It's a pity." If the Ice Wolf clan had used their strongest members, such as Aveline, they might have had a better chance against him, though it would cost them the trust of the people and the validity of the Trial of Kings.
