Chapter 613: Chapter 129 - A Few Drops of Blood and Tears of a Fallen Nation, A Loyal Minister’s Heart Split by the Bright Moon_7

"All Beamon, and they dare to be on the opposing side? Even going to be under someone else’s command?" Liu Zhenhan was somewhat angry, "Where is the tribe leader of the Harpy’s? What has he been doing?"

"This Harpy tribe has always been like owls -- infamously turning a blind eye. The young generation in the tribe are all Beamon. Even if the owl tribe leader had the intention to manage them, he lacks the ability to do so." The Tauren elder sighed, "Our Buer Tribe is also in a similar situation. The noble rhino people who were supposed to protect us when we crossed Ladder Mountain and the rocky trench have all perished in valiant sacrifice. We Antelope and Cow-Eagle people were equal and we have no right in meddling their business. Furthermore, the Cow-Eagle people had hardly sacrificed anything and they still have several Wind Whisperers. We, the Antelope people, are old, weak or young, and have no way to control them."

"How did these Eagle-Bull people come to be?" Liu Zhenhan pointed at the dozen half-dead people and asked.

"The wars between the Dark Elves and Blood Elves have been continuous, gradually resulting in captives. The Dark Elves admire the height and fast flying speed of the Beamon under the Blood Elves. On the other hand, the Blood Elves envy the natural bone armor of the Cow-Eagle people that were with the Dark Elves. As a result, both parties coincidentally initiated a hybridization plan, promoting the birth of these creature called the Eagle-Bull people. Actually, we just call these Beamon ’Harpies’ due to politeness. Real Harpies are two meters tall, unlike these small beings." Tauren elder laughed coldly and continued, "After implementing this hybrid method, the purebred Cow-Eagle people and Beamon are now few in numbers. Under the banners of the Dark Elves and Blood Elves, most are called Eagle-Bull people or Cow-Eagle people."

Liu Zhenhan and the two Scepter Shamans looked at each other. He finally understood what this Tauren elder meant by losing face -- being a Beamon to this extent was indeed disgraceful. But it also verified an old saying, ’In the forest, there are all kinds of birds.’ Not all Beamon are upright and valiant men. Even in such a straightforward race like the Buer Tribe of Tauren, there could be narrow-minded scoundrels.

"Let’s talk about what’s going on in the Furious Flame Continent. In the one thousand years’ time, have the two evil elf tribes not advanced in wars against you?" Liu Zhenhan asked Elder Tang Jin.

"Our Antelope warriors have never been afraid of war." Elder Tang Jin proudly stated at first, and then sighed, "In fact, the Cow-Eagle people and Beamon, to a large extent, have thrown in with the Dark Elves and Blood Elves because they are too afraid of their harassments. Since we can’t beat them, we simply join them. When our ancestors first came here a thousand years ago, we were already facing the robbery of these bandits -- the Dark Elves and Blood Elves. These elves do not have their own production; their survival is purely dependent on plunder..."

"...they plunder from the Cave Dwellers who are Subterranean Natives and their agricultural produce. The Cave Dwellers are timid, short, but have great adaptability and breeding ability. Inside the three levels of the Underground Continent, you can see these hardworking figures everywhere. In the eyes of the Dark Elves and Blood Elves, they are the cheapest cannon fodder and source of productivity. Every time when there was a war, both elf races would come out to plunder. The Furious Flame Continent, our land, is their best target." The Tauren elder painfully said, "When we Tauren and Harpies first stepped on this strange land, it was the Cave Dwellers who gave us food and clean water. Now, on the contrary, our Beamon have become the main culprits in slaughtering them."

"Not all Beamon are ungrateful villains. Aren’t you helping the Cave Dwellers?" Liu Zhenhan patted the shoulder of the Tauren elder.

"The Cave Dwellers do not actually demand much. They have no ambition and I don’t know why these two elf tribes are so vicious." The Tauren elder indignantly said, "In these years, the Cave Dwellers living in the two Underground Continents couldn’t bear the dark and bloody life and have moved up to the Furious Flame Continent. These two elves view our land as their granary, and from time to time they send out plundering teams to kill and loot. We Antelope People can’t fly and we only have a little over seven thousand people, so we can’t guard that many well entrances. We can only form task teams of several people each and patrol the whole Furious Flame Continent."

"How many Dark Elves and Blood Elves are there? How many Cave Dwellers are there?" Liu Zhenhan squinted and asked.

"At the very least, there are about fifty thousand Dark Elves, about two million River Immortals, about one hundred thousand Blood Elves, and about three hundred thousand Gray Dwarves. The number of Eagle-Bull people or Cow-Eagle people under these two elf tribes should not be less than three hundred thousand. The total number of Cave Dweller slaves under their control should be around fifty million and there are at least thirty million Cave Dwellers in Furious Flame Continent." Elder Tang Jin knew what the Overlord in front of him was implying, "The Furious Flame Continent is the most dangerous one among the three levels of the Underground Continent. Here, Cerberus, the Hellhound, the Scorpion-tailed Lion Akana Death, Six-winged Flame Demon and Flame Lord dwells in the four directions: east, south, west, and north, respectively. All four Super-level Warcraft have their own families and often roam on Furious Flame Continent, and so the Dark Elves and Blood Elves have no intention of occupying this continent."

"What’s the deal with the River Immortals who are mixed in with the Dark Elves? Just with you guys protecting this continent, isn’t your power a little too weak?" Liu Zhenhan shook his head repeatedly. All along the way here, they had seen plenty of skeletons. It seemed they all belonged to the unfortunate Cave Dwellers.

"The River Immortals claim they are our Beamon’s earthworm race." Elder Tang Jin spoke.

"Damn bullshit!" Liu Zhenhan almost jumped up.

"Hehe, I also think they’re talking nonsense. We have an alliance with the Difeng Giant tribe of the Flame Mountain Valley. The three main subterranean natives in the Underground, the Cave Dwellers, Difeng Giants, and River Immortals, the first two are very kind and hospitable races. The Difeng Giants have a strong nickname called ’Hellfire’. They are good at forging like the dwarves. With the power of Difeng Giants and our Antelope warriors, we can just about protect a bit more of the Cave Dwellers of the Furious Flame Continent. But the Blood Elves and Dark Elves are preparing for a big war again soon. For food reserves before the war, the Furious Flame Continent will inevitably be ransacked again. Our roamers have all rushed to the seven main camps, ready to shrink the frontlines, but it’s troublesome. After all, there are too many wells and ladders here, and the area is too large." The Tauren elder looked sincerely into the eyes of the shaman. "We Tauren still yearn for the bright surface world, with the glory of Emperor Polo and Xiang Pa having been handed down in our legends for thousands of years. But we must do something for the Cave Dwellers. We can’t just abandon them for our own sake. The hard times have been following the Cave Dwellers for too long, so sir, we can’t leave here."

"What’s the deal with this guy?" Liu Zhenhan, pointing to the Dark Elf named Trist, asked with a smile.

"Hehe, sir, Trist is quite a bit older than I am! He has a true spirit heart and ran away from the Dark Elves’ Rhois Academy. He’s determined to rescue all the Cave Dwellers from the darkness. These past years, he hasn’t yet come up with a clear and useful method to save the Cave Dwellers. He’s still considering a way to go to the surface world and learn from the experiences there." The Tauren elder looked at Trist with affection and pride, which proved the ability and determination of this Dark Elf and why the Tauren trusted him so profoundly.

"There really is an oddball everywhere you go." Liu Zhenhan nodded approvingly at the Dark Elf.

"All those with the surname ’Cui’ are not good people." Trist mischievously smiled, a hundred-year-old elf, still a child indeed.

"Some days ago, did any other Beamon shamans come to ask you for directions?" Liu Zhenhan asked with a laugh.

"Yes sir," Elder Tang Jin said with a light smile, "One week ago, we ran into him. He also had the purpose of leading us out of this underground. However, after we Taurens rejected his request, he went to the second level of the Black Domain Continent to find the rare cuckoos."

Liu Zhenhan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
