Chapter 119: Minotaur Leader

The old chief told Garin that their Shuhalu tribe had lived in the Stonetalon Mountains for many years. Since they left the increasingly desolate land ten years ago, they have been hiding in the Stonetalon Mountains from the pursuit of the centaurs.

The old chief was full of anger when he talked about the centaurs, which was rare for the gentle and peace-loving Tauren. No wonder, as their entire generation had been resisting the brutal centaurs, and countless relatives and friends had died at the hands of the centaurs.

The migration of the Tauren was arduous. Not only were they hunted by the Centaurs, but they were also accompanied by natural disasters, food shortages, and hunger and cold for women, children, and calves, which threatened the lives of the entire Tauren tribe at all times.

This camp was established not long ago, and the temporary home they lived in before has been destroyed by the centaurs. No one knows how much hatred the centaurs have for the tauren, and they are still holding on to them even though they have left the Desolate Land.

Is this what they call the incompatibility between cattle and horses?

This is a huge camp located in a valley. The camp is filled with Indian-style animal skin tents. Based on the size of the valley and the number of tents, Garin estimates that there are at least 200,000 Tauren here. The old chief said that this camp is just the vanguard, led by Kane Bloodhoof.

Under the introduction of the old chief of the Dawn Chaser, Garin met the current leader of the Tauren, the Tauren Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof, in the central tent.

The old chief lifted the curtain of the big tent. As soon as Garin entered, he blurted out his native language from his previous life: Damn, it's so high?

The giant bull in front of him was at least four meters tall, even two Garins stacked together could not compare to him. Garin looked up at him. This was the Tauren chieftain, Cairne Bloodhoof. As a warrior as well, although Garin had just been transferred to a paladin half an hour ago, he was also a warrior who used holy light. He could feel the powerful energy emanating from Cairne Bloodhoof's strong body.

This is a pure warrior who focuses on physical strength. Galen dared to bet with Gandalf that the high-level wizard's ice arrows and fireballs could not hurt Bloodhoof at all, and at most would leave a little mark on his skin.

As expected of the strongest warrior among the warlike Minotaur race, Garin’s eyes were burning!

Next to Kane stood a slightly shorter minotaur, with a calm and long aura. If Garin had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have been able to detect the presence of such a creature over there.

This is a guy who is good at natural energy. While Garin was still thinking, the tall minotaur spoke first.

"Little guy, are you the messenger of Anshe that Moon mentioned? Can you prove it to me?"

Kane's voice was very loud, but unexpectedly, his tone was quite gentle. As expected of a Tauren, this gentleness was engraved in their bones. However, Garin believed that when they were enraged, they could also burst out with amazing strength and tear the enemy to pieces.

Moon is the old chief of the Dawn Chasers and the father of Dezco. When he talked with Garin along the way, he also asked about Garin's origins. He witnessed the miracle of Garin's resurrection with his own eyes, and he himself could also withstand the power of the sun god. He believed that Garin was indeed the messenger of Anshe.

But Moon knew that as the leader, Kane was responsible for the rise and fall of the Shuhalu tribe and would not easily believe the words of an alien. As a person Kane trusted, he was afraid that his words would affect the judgment of the chief, so he did not say too much.

Garin understood their concerns. As the head of a clan, if he had no wisdom and trusted others easily, his clan would be on the verge of extinction.

Garin felt that the Minotaur was very much to his liking, so he was much more patient with them. He did not take any doubts seriously. He opened his arms and used all his strength to activate the power of holy light in his body. The space inside the tent was filled with warm and orderly light.

Soon, the light faded, and Cain said to the cow beside him, "Hamuul, what do you think?"

It turned out to be the leader of the Tauren Druids, the patriarch of the Rune Totem Clan. He quietly comprehended for a while: "What a pure and burning power, what a dazzling light. The power of nature tells me that this power is full of the power of order and the ability to resist darkness."

"So?" Kane was a warrior. He was good at using his ancestral rune spear to sweep away all enemies and eliminate them on the physical level. When it came to the mysterious things, he was not as good as his good friend Hamuul. If he didn't understand, he would ask. Kane wanted Hamuul to give him the correct advice.

"Our guest can not only use the power of light himself, but also guide Moon and little Dezko to use this power. The spirit of nature told me that he is full of kindness towards our Shuhalu tribe. I believe he is the messenger of the god Anshe!" Hamuul and Kane have known each other for more than 20 years. Hamuul has always served as an advisor to assist Kane, the great chief. He gave his own opinion.

"Messenger of the God of Anshe, I wonder what oracle Mother Earth has for you to convey to the Shuharu tribe?"

The identity of the envoy Garin was thus determined. When this news spreads, he will be considered one of the most prestigious people in the Tauren race.

"You can call me Garin. I came here this time because Mother Earth knew through the Eye of Anshe that the Shuhalu people are in a bad situation. Your new home is not in the Stonetalon Mountains, but should be in a more beautiful and fertile land!" Garin went straight to the point. Anyway, no matter whether the Tauren leaders had doubts or not, as long as he brought them to Mulgore, they would see that this was a suitable land for the Tauren to recuperate, and ordinary people would be able to gain their friendship.

The two cows in the tent nodded. It had been ten years since they migrated to Stonetalon Mountains, but these ten years were still as unstable as in Desolace. Centaurs attacked their new home from time to time, and cows died every day. The Tauren felt overwhelmed and prepared to migrate eastwards again. The Dawn Chaser team was one of the advance scout teams.

Then Garin explained to them from a God's perspective why the Minotaur suffered these hardships.

The Desolate Land was originally a fertile land with lush grass and water, which was very suitable for the nomadic habits of the Tauren. They had lived and multiplied here for thousands of years.

Later, Zatar and the Earth Elemental Princess combined, and the Centaurs were born. The Centaurs' act of killing their father made them condemned by their mother, and their hearts were filled with loneliness and regret. The way for the chaotic Centaurs to vent their loneliness was to find an object to vent their anger on. Unfortunately, it happened that the Minotaur was the largest race living around them, and the Minotaur began to live a life of being provoked by the Centaurs.

The Desolate Land was also cursed by the angry soul of Zatar, and became increasingly barren. The water and grass disappeared, and it became a barren desert with no grass at all. This is how the Desolate Land got its name.

Even the druid Hamuul did not know such a secret. After all, the Tauren Druids' heritage came from their ancestors. They served the demigod of nature Cenarius ten thousand years ago and gained the knowledge of druids. Later, the earth fell apart, and the tauren also severed their connection with the demigod of nature. Naturally, they did not know that the centaurs were the descendants of Cenarius' son.

Cain and Hamuul finally understood why the Centaurs had been fighting the Minotaur for centuries like crazy lunatics. They were a generation of Minotaur that grew up in the confrontation with the Centaurs. They lived a depressed life, and their hearts were filled with hatred for the Centaurs.

Just as Kane and Hamuul were sighing, Garin continued, "Today, Shuhalu's suffering is over. I will take you to the new home that Mother Earth has prepared for you!"

After completely gaining the trust of Cain and Hamuul, Galen was not going to continue to force them and took them directly to Mulgore so that the Tauren could settle down and recuperate as soon as possible. He could then unite with the Tauren to dominate the central and southern continents of Kalimdor as soon as possible.

"Garin, where is the new home that Mother Earth has pointed out?" Kane was a little impatient. He was carrying the future and hope of the Tauren tribe on his shoulders. He was pushing forward the plan of the Tauren's migration and finding a new home with all his strength. The pressure was too great. If this decision was wrong and led to the extinction of the Tauren tribe, their generation of young Taurens would be the biggest sinners.

"It is a huge basin with abundant water and grass, surrounded by mountains, a mild climate, and plenty of prey. It is the most suitable new home for the Shuharu to live in."

Garin continued to praise the advantages of Mulgore and tease the two upright and middle-aged tauren leaders. Finally, under the impatient and burning eyes of the two leaders, Garin decided not to play anymore and take them to see it as soon as possible.

"Are you ready? I'll take you to see the house first. No, the new home. Then we can discuss how to bring Shuhalu's people over there!"

Garin has been recognized by the two men at this moment. He will bring the chief's guards, as well as his new die-hard fans, the old chief Moon and his son Dezco. The group came to an open space and cleared out the idle cattle.

Garin took out a return scroll that had been set up in advance. After using it, white light flashed on the group of people and they disappeared on the spot.
