"As far as I know, the Ursa Tribe is currently worrying about food. If we can solve their problem, I'm guessing that they'll be happy to join us," said the Minotaur Chieftain.
"Alright, let's start with this Ursa Tribe and reunite the various beastmen tribes and races of the past," said Batulu.
"If there's anything we can help with, the members of the Iron Wolves Mercenaries and the Demon Hunter's Blade will not hesitate to do so," said Fawns.
Balk stood up from his chair and walked towards Fawns.
"Human, you'll be our reliable ally. If you can help us beastmen overcome our current crisis, we'll go through fire and water for you." Balk extended his thick hand.
Fawns and Balk clapped their hands together and swore that everyone would advance and retreat together.
Just like that, our camp moved from outside Zagru City to inside the city. Even though there are still many Beastmen who are looking at us with hatred, they should be understood.
Fawns told us what Balk had said, and also agreed to go with us to the Ursa Tribe.
A day later, at the Ursa Tribe in the northern part of the beastmen's territory.
The Ursa Tribe's territory was very desolate, with withered trees and not a single blade of grass growing. No wonder the Giant Bearmen here were worried about food, because there were only skeletons all over the place.
Our group arrived at this land, escorting the Iron Rhinoceroses provided by the Minotaur Tribe.
Apart from the Demon Hunter's Blade and the Iron Wolves Mercenaries, there were only the Minotaur Warriors carrying large axes.
Batulu was also with us, because he was the beastmen's representative and was in charge of discussing the alliance with the Ursa Tribe's Chieftain.
Actually, there was one thing I'd always been curious about. That was, when did Batulu and Captain Fawns get to know each other, and what kind of story there was between them.
Not far from us, a Ursa Tribe's heavy infantry discovered our tracks.
Following the low sound of a horn, something unexpected happened.
"Not good!" Batulu could tell that this was the Ursa Tribe's attack horn.
It seemed that this group of reckless Ursa Tribe had taken us for a passing merchant group. Hunger made them unscrupulous in their search for food.
"Everyone be on guard!" Fawns told us.
All of us were ready to fight, but when we really faced the enemy, our legs couldn't help but tremble.
Behind a mound in the distance, dust was flying.
At least a hundred Bearmen heavy infantry charged at us. These fellows wielding long axes and long blades looked menacing.
The ground was shaking. As a mercenary, I told myself that no matter what kind of enemy I faced, I shouldn't be afraid, and I shouldn't retreat.
But at this moment, I really had the thought of retreating.
These Giant Bearmen were born tall and sturdy. They were even taller and stronger than beastmen. Comparing beastmen and Giant Bearmen was like comparing humans and beastmen. It was easy to imagine how shocked the humans were when they faced the Giant Bearmen.
Not only that, but these Giant Bearmen were also wearing heavy armor.
I dare say that a hundred Bearmen heavy infantry are enough to contend against a few thousand fully armed imperial soldiers.
Batulu told us to stay calm and not panic. He stepped forward and explained the situation to the bear-men.
Riding on his Frost Wolf, Batulu charged at the Giant Bearmen like lightning. He made a sharp turn and forced a group of Giant Bearmen to stop in front of us.
He roared at the Giant Bearmen and said something in a language that only the Giant Bearmen could understand.
"I am the younger brother of Beastman General Balk. I have come under the orders of my tribe's chieftain to help our former comrades and brothers!" Batulu roared at the Giant Bearmen.
His voice resounded throughout the world. I still remembered it clearly even now.
The charging Giant Bearmen stopped less than a kilometer away from us. We couldn't help but praise this brave beastman.
A Giant Bearman clad in golden armor walked out of the Giant Bearmen's ranks. He seemed to be the legendary chieftain of the Giant Bearmen.
"What did you say? You were sent by Viktor?" the Giant Bearman asked.
"Yes. Our chieftain sent me here in hopes of reuniting our brotherhood," Batulu said.
"It seems that brat Viktor hasn't forgotten us old bones," the Giant Bearmen's chieftain muttered to himself.
Batulu didn't tell the Giant Bearmen's chieftain the truth. Everything was planned after Viktor was captured by the humans. Now that the situation was critical, Batulu had no choice but to lie to the Giant Bearmen's chieftain.
"Why should my tribesmen and I believe you?" the Giant Bearmen's chieftain asked.
"Because we heard that your tribe's food harvest was low. Our chieftain sent us to transport a few dozen rhinos' worth of food. We hope it can help the Giant Bearmen's tribe," Batulu said.
"That brat Viktor still has some conscience. That's right. I appreciate your kindness. I guess you didn't come all the way here just to deliver food to us, right? "the Giant Bearmen's chieftain said.
"Right now, the insect plague is rampant. I believe that it won't be long before the black tide engulfs the entire beastman territory. I hope that we can unite all the comrades who fought side by side with us in the past and face this disaster together, "Batulu said.
"Beastman, I have high hopes for you. You are just like Viktor. Since you brought food to us when we needed it, you are our friends. We are willing to follow the will of the supreme beast god, Gudel Oaks. We will fight alongside you, "the Giant Bearmen's chieftain said in front of all the Giant Bearmen.
All of the Giant Bearmen's heavy infantry knelt on one knee and covered their chest with their right arm.
"We are willing to follow the will of the supreme beast god, Gudel Oaks. We will fight alongside you," all the Giant Bearmen said together.
Just like that, we finally arrived at the Giant Bearmen's tribe under the Giant Bearmen's chieftain's invitation.
Here, Batulu had a new title, the son of the tribe. Many years later, Batulu himself said that he liked this title very much.
At this moment, our arrival was like a long-awaited rainstorm in the dry land, nourishing the Giant Bearmen.
The Giant Bearmen were all happy after receiving the food. They were very friendly to us.
Next, Batulu and the Giant Bearmen discussed the matter of forming an alliance.
The Giant Bearmen's chieftain said that he was willing to follow the orders of the Beastmen's chieftain. They would advance and retreat together with the other tribes.
Batulu told the Giant Bearmen's chieftain that the war with the Crescent Blade Fortress would break out sooner or later. The Giant Bearmen should return to Sargeru and build the Beastmen's capital.
