The Bearman Chieftain accepted Batulu's suggestion. The land here was too barren, and it wouldn't be able to withstand the incoming Black Tide.
"We need to move quickly. Otherwise, the Black Tide might arrive before we can leave," Batulu said to the Bearman Chieftain.
"Lord Olafman, our scouts have discovered a black fog fifty kilometers to the west." This was the report of a Ursa soldier to the Ursa Chieftain.
"Alright, let's move out immediately. Inform everyone to only bring food and personal belongings. We have to leave for Sargeru before nightfall," Chieftain Olafman said.
There were about four to five hundred Bearmen in the Bearman Tribe. The order was quickly passed down to every Bearman. Among the four to five hundred Bearmen, there were about two hundred Bearman heavy infantry. The rest were Bearman children, old Bearman, and female Bearman.
At this time, the food we brought was being cooked in the tribe's cauldron. Every Bearman was drooling as they hurriedly packed up.
Soon, when it was close to evening, all of us had our last dinner in the tribe.
After dinner, the tauren escort team led the way with us, while the Bearmen followed behind. After leaving the place where they lived, these Giant Bear people were still a little reluctant to leave.
We lit torches and slowly moved forward in the night.
Finally, the next morning, we were very far away from the Bearman Tribe. While we were resting, we saw the Bearman Tribe in the distance being surrounded by the Black Tide. Soon, the Black Tide turned the Bearman Tribe into ruins. One could imagine what would happen if we stayed there.
"We need to hurry. At this speed, the Black Tide will catch up to us," Batulu said to Olafman.
And so, our team sped up and moved towards Sargeru. We didn't rest along the way. Fortunately, the Black Tide suddenly disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, we would definitely have been caught.
We finally returned to Sargeru. Balk and Olafman met in the Chieftain's Hall. The Bearmen temporarily settled down in Sargeru.
Then, Batulu came to tell us that Balk thanked us on behalf of all the Beastmen. However, their intel said that the Cyclops tribe in the east was in trouble. If we can help them, they will surely join us.
Early the next morning, we set off for the cyclops' residence. This time, it was only Fauns, Loser, Ivina, the six of us, and Baturu.
After all, they didn't know what was going on with the cyclops, so the fewer people there, the better.
A group of us set off from Zagru and headed east to the cyclops tribe. Fauns rode side by side with Baturu on his Frost Wolf. They were at the head of the group.
"Fawns, do you still remember what I told you before?" Batulu glanced at Fawns.
"I remember. You said that orcs would never saddle their giant wolf companions," Fahns said.
"Thinking about it, it's been so many years," Batulu said.
"That's right. So many years have passed since then." Faern sighed.
Finally, we arrived at the cyclops' residence. A cyclops standing guard outside asked us what we were here for.
We told the cyclops why we were here, and the cyclops told us that their chief's child was missing.
Cyclops' reproductive ability was very poor, so there were only a dozen or so cyclops in their tribe. We understood what it meant to them to lose a cyclops' child, so we were going to see their chief.
When we saw the cyclops called Carmon, we couldn't help but feel depressed.
The cyclops' huge body was sitting there, paralyzed. Carmon's eyes were dim and lifeless, and he looked listless.
When we went up to talk to him, he almost smashed us with his spiked club. Fortunately, the cyclops guard stopped him and explained to Carmon why we were here.
When Carmon heard that we were here to help him find his child, he perked up. He told us about the day he lost his child. Then he told us that he suspected that his child had been taken away by the ogres, but he couldn't find them.
We listened to Carmon's story, and our guesses were roughly the same as his. The child was most likely taken away by the ogres.
Thus, we immediately set out to find the ogres' tracks.
Faern rode on his horse, and his expression was a bit serious. He seemed to have sunk into some memories, and we didn't dare to disturb him.
That year, Faern, who was only a few years old, became an orphan because of the endless war. That year, Batulu was still an innocent little beastman.
Batulu took a fancy to a toy in a human child's hand, and he cried and begged his father to get him one.
But from then on, Batulu never saw his father again. Because the human laws were very harsh on beastmen, stealing was punishable by death. Batulu held the toy in his hand, and he witnessed his father being executed by humans on the gallows in the plaza.
Tears soaked the little beastman's heart, and from then on, Batulu swore to take revenge for his father. The little beastman left home, and lived alone in a human's territory. Because he was a beastman, he was bullied by humans.
Until one day, Batulu met Faern. The two lonely little hearts walked together, and they became brothers.
Later on, a kind-hearted Orc herdsman adopted them and raised them. Faern and Batulu fought together, and grew together. They became stronger and stronger, and together they became the personal guards of the Lord of the Moonblade Fortress. They risked their lives for the Lord.
However, Batulu couldn't forget his mission every night. He wanted to kill the Lord to take revenge for his father.
However, Batulu couldn't do it, because he had fallen deeply in love with the Lord's daughter. A beastman fell in love with a human, and she was the daughter of his father's murderer.
That day, Batulu told his feelings to the person he had admired for a long time, but in the end, he only got one sentence.
You're good, but we're not suitable. She said she had fallen in love with the Duke's son.
"I just want to be a carefree beastman, what's wrong with that? I like to burp, fart, and sleep, what's wrong with that? I can't be a hypocrite like a refined noble son, at least I'm very real like this. "Batulu's heart suffered a big blow.
Everything had changed because of that incident.
Even to this day, Batulu couldn't forget what happened that day.
