Chapter 1032: Forced to Be a Lion Man
Although the Blood Hoof Clan was dominated by Minotaurs, boar men, elephant men, as well as centaurs, and it had controlled Picturesque Orchid Lake as the strongest clan for thousands of years…
The lion men and gnolls from the Gold Clan were not uncommon in Black-corner City.
They were either losers in the clan wars, who had been exiled, and traveled around Picturesque Orchid Lake, trying to rise again, or they were the captives of the clan wars, starting from humble gladiators and rising again step by step.
There were several lion warriors in the Blood Skull Arena.
As for the mixed-blood lion warriors and Minotaurs, there were countless of them.
The five families were not segregated by reproduction. They were originally the same race, but they were given different divine powers by their ancestors, which was why they showed different characteristics.
In fact, even Casanova could not guarantee that his ancestors were all pure Minotaur. There was not even a drop of lion man or tigerman’s blood in their bodies.
Perhaps, the descendants of him and a pure-bred Minotaur warrior would grow sharp fangs and a few strands of golden hair. Such a situation was described in the ancient language of the ancestral spirits as a “genetic mutation.” It was a very normal phenomenon.
However, in theory, it should be the rat people’s Night Demon, but the lion man’s hair fell from his body. Such a “coincidence” could not help but make Casanova’s imagination run wild.
He did not think that the Night Demon would be a lion man born and bred in Black-corner City, or a Blood Hoof warrior with the bloodline of a lion and tiger.
But…
“The Red-gold City is playing tricks behind the scenes?”
Casanova’s eyes suddenly became sharp as he muttered, “I was wondering why the Big-horned Rat God’s arrival is getting more and more popular this time. It’s more serious than the rat people’s riots before the glorious era.
“So it turns out that the Gold Clan is fanning the flames behind the scenes, and they’ve even directly sent out elite lion-man warriors to pretend to be some night demon emissary to play tricks in order to arouse the rebellious hearts of the rat citizens in Black-corner City. At the same time, they can also sow discord within the Blood Hoof Clan and the relationships between the various great clans, causing us to fall into internal strife and be unable to display our strongest strength in the Tournament of the Five Clans!
“These wolves, tigers, and leopards of the Gold Clan are truly too despicable. The competition between the five clans originated from an ancient tradition from 10,000 years ago. The Glorious Warriors of the five clans took out all of their abilities and competed openly. The winner led the loser, and the loser obeyed the winner. Only then could they condense the entire Turan army into an unstoppable torrent and completely drown the land of Holy Light!
“The Gold Clan is clearly the most powerful clan in the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake for thousands of years. In the past five clan wars, they used their unquestionable strength to conquer the hearts of all the glorious warriors, including our Blood Hoof Clan.
“How come this time, before the five clan wars have even begun, the Gold Clan has already used such a despicable and shameless method. Does it still have the spirit of a Turan warrior?”
Casanova shook his head.
He was clearly a powerful wolf, a tiger, and a leopard.
Yet, he had to disguise himself as a lowly rat and act sneakily.
Such an unscrupulous method was something that even Casanova felt ashamed of for the ancestors of the Gold Clan.
As for the lion’s fur, was there any other explanation other than that the Gold Clan had sent a secret agent to infiltrate Black-corner City to fan the flames and sow discord, trying to weaken the strength of the Blood Hoof Clan before the Tournament of the Five Clans?
Casanova racked his brain, but he could not think of any other explanation.
Unless, the Night Demon not only possessed terrifying combat strength and growth ability, but he also had a meticulous mind that made people shudder in fear. After killing the crocodile’s head, he even inserted the softest and finest lion’s hair into the gap between his pinky fingers?
“How is that possible!”
Casanova could not help but laugh. He instantly dispelled this terrifying and absurd idea.
“Those fellows from the Gold Clan, I will definitely crush you all in the Tournament of the Five Clans!” Casanova gritted his teeth and smashed his fist.
“Anger can trigger the strongest power of a Turan warrior, but it is also very likely to turn this power into a flood.”
Black Tooth’s face was still calm as he calmly said, “When your body of flesh and blood is boiling like magma, your brain must always be as calm as ice.
“That’s right, Casanova. You’re truly worthy of being the Blood Hoof Clan’s greatest hope in this Battle of Honor. Your speculations are similar to the opinions of the clan elders. We all believe that the so-called descent of the great Horned Rat God is a ghost created by the Gold Clan. This Night Demon Emissary is even directly from Red-gold City, and he’s one of the best amongst the lion and tiger warriors. So, he possesses the ability to silently attack dozens of Blood Hoof warriors.
“But this is not a bad thing.
“Instead, it exposed the weakness of the Gold Clan.
“Imagine, if the Gold Clan was as powerful as before and could defeat the Blood Hoof Army on the most sacred battlefield in the vast Picturesque Orchid Lake, why would they resort to such despicable and shameless means that would bring shame to their ancestors?
“It seems that in the past ten years of prosperity, the Gold Clan didn’t have a large number of new and advanced experts like our Blood Hoof Clan. They knew that the title of War Chief this time is extremely likely to fall into the hands of our Blood Hoof Clan, so they took the risk and put everything on the line.
“However, the warriors of Turan will ultimately use their fists, claws, teeth, and Swords to decide the outcome of the battle.
“Such petty tricks, once seen through, will not be of any use at all. Instead, they will arouse the contempt and anger of all the Blood Hoof warriors and make all the lion-men the biggest joke of Turan.
“I’ve already informed the elders of the Ironhide Clan of the news.
“As long as they are not stupid enough, they will definitely realize that the messenger of the Rat God can only be a lion man from the Gold Clan. It is the only possibility that will be the most beneficial to us and the most detrimental to the Gold Clan.
“In that case, the quarrel between the Blood Hoof Clan and the Ironhide Clan won’t last long. The Game of the Brave might end a few days earlier. If everything goes well, the Blood Hoof Army will march out in three days
“Don’t worry, Lord Black Tooth. My Blood Skull Legion will definitely be assembled in three days!” Casanova said confidently.
The so-called arrival of the Big-horned Rat God seemed to have caused a storm in the city, but it didn’t cause much substantial damage to Black-corner City.
It was nothing more than a few clan warriors being poisoned, a few warehouses being on fire, and a few dozen clan warriors suffering great humiliation.
The humiliation was indeed extremely strong.
But that was all.
The reason why everyone was so anxious was that everyone treated the Night Demon as a rat citizen. It was unbelievable that a mere rat citizen could come and go freely in Black-corner City. Thousands of clan warriors could not do anything to him.
As a result, the morale of the clan warriors fell to the bottom, and the d*mned rat citizens were all restless.
However, if the Rat God’s emissary of the Big Horn race was actually a lion man powerhouse from the Gold Clan, then the situation would be completely different.
After all, the lion man had ruled over Orchid Lake for thousands of years.
Being defeated or even killed by the lion man was not something to be surprised or angry about.
The majestic Gold Clan didn’t dare to compete with the Blood Hoof Clan on the battlefield, but they disguised themselves as rat people to attack and destroy. Once this news spread throughout the city, the morale of all the Blood Hoof warriors would soar to the peak.
And the rat people who had their dreams shattered would also recognize the reality and give up struggling.
In this way, it wasn’t impossible to gather the entire Blood Hoof Army in three days.
Thinking about how the Gold Clan might not be as powerful as the legends said, Black Tooth felt that it was impossible.
The Blood Hoof Clan would be in charge of this unprecedented battle of glory.
He might even be able to build a merit that even the ancestors would look up to in the holy war.
As a result, the name, Casanova Bloodhoof was engraved in the blood-condensed epic, and it was sung by every empty skull on the ancient battlefield for thousands of years.
Casanova’s eyeballs were as hot as burning charcoal balls.
Black Tooth was very satisfied with this rising star in the family, his fervent desire for victory.
He extended his left hand, which was half flesh and half metal, from under the black hooded cloak that was covered in red lines and completely merged with the totem armor. He patted Casanova’s shoulder lightly.
“Go, young warrior. Go prove to everyone that your iron hooves have the ability to shock the entire area of Picturesque Orchid Lake and the land of Holy Light!”
…
Casanova was still overwhelmed with emotions as he left the temple in a daze. He was so inspired by the high priest that he could not help himself.
At this moment, he remembered that he should report to Black Tooth about the death of a guy under him called, Big Buck.
In fact, Big Buck’s death happened more than half a month ago.
Moreover, there were already a few vassals of the Ironhide Clan who admitted that they had carried out a fair and successful “revenge” for the glory of the ancestral spirit.
However, Big Buck’s body was only found in a collapsed tunnel yesterday.
Moreover, the entire tunnel was filled with flammable substances. The moment the tunnel collapsed, a huge fire was ignited, burning the body into a mess.
Fortunately, Big Buck’s characteristics were very distinct.
His two horns, one was large and the other was small. In the entire Black-corner City, it was no longer so awkward.
Moreover, during the coming of age ceremony, Big Buck had been injured when hunting totem beasts. Although his flesh and blood had healed, there were still bite marks left on his leg bones from the totem beasts.
Therefore, Casanova was able to confirm the news of his death.
The problem was that Big Buck’s charred body was covered with traces of torture.
The few wild boar warriors from Red Creek Town boasted that they had killed Big Buck, but they didn’t mention this detail.
Moreover, the entire scene of torture and slaughter was arranged very closely.
It was so close that Casanova thought of the machines in the land of Holy Light that could operate with only light energy.
It didn’t seem like the work of a wild boar warrior.
“If it wasn’t those pigs from Red Creek Town, who did it? Why did they kill Big Buck and torture him before they did it?” Casanova was puzzled.
