Chapter 583： Western Exploration Team II

What should these horned humanoids be called? Grant looked questioningly at the tauren priest.

Egbert replied with some helplessness: "The upper species, this is what we call them."

Upper species? Hearing that the name seemed to imply some kind of higher race, Glenn looked at the priest even more puzzled.

"Yes, they are indeed a stronger and more advanced race." Egbert admitted, "Before the ancient ancient times, the ancestors of the upper species once led our ancestors to fight against the ancient demons .”

demon? Is this some ancient myth?

"Who are you talking about the devil?"

"The devil is the enemy of all the races on this continent according to legend. They used to enslave and oppress us, until all the races rose up and rebelled, and then they were driven into the devil's gate in the extreme north, and they have been far away from us since then. The world, there will be no trace of them anymore."

Egbert's narration reminded Glenn of the legend of the battle between humans and demons that is common in all human countries on the Old Continent. It seems that there is also a gate of **** in the far north of the mainland in the legend. If the gate of **** is opened, it will release Something like a devil, Earl Heller mentioned this legend to Captain Stanford of the Northern Expedition Team at the Zhuang Xing Banquet they attended before their departure.

Isn't this right? Could it be that in ancient times there was such a terrible race that wreaked havoc everywhere in this world, so that both the civilized races in the New World and the Old World still had terrible memories about them.

How did they do it? When human beings were still in ignorance, did this evil race master the ability to sail across the world at will? If they were so powerful, how could they fail against primitive humans - and it seems that there may be other races as well?

Egbert sighed and continued to introduce the stories that happened on this continent. "It is said that demons generally have steel claws, and some have steel heads and steel bodies. What's more frightening is that some heterogeneous demons have two arms and four legs. These heterogeneous demons can use their Flying on four legs, fighting with their two arms wielding steel claws."

While describing the tauren sacrifice, Glenn was also drawing the image of the demon in his mind, especially the alien demon mentioned by the other party, with two arms and four legs? Mercedes-Benz like flying? There are legends about centaurs in the Old Continent, which also have two arms and four legs. Although no one has ever seen a centaur, there has never been a legend that mentions that a centaur has steel claws, a steel head, and a steel body.

"In the beginning, the races with only flesh and blood couldn't resist them at all. It wasn't until the upper races I mentioned just now awakened the power of gods that they had the power to fight demons."

God... the power of God?

Glenn's eyes widened when he heard this. Could it be something like magic or witchcraft that Egbert said? On the mainland where I came from, that thing is a taboo existence. When my fleet set off, there was still a witch hunt in Jiaowan in full swing.

The tauren priest said: "The generation of the power of the gods can make the upper species show incredible abilities, such as spraying flames, releasing thunder and lightning, changing the weather, and making the enemy have hallucinations and other abilities."

Alright alright! Egbert thought to himself, it seems that he guessed right, isn't this witchcraft? The Inquisition of the Home Church must have liked these horned men.

Gulen didn't want to call them the high-ranking species, so let's call them "sheep people".

"The various special abilities brought by the power of God offset the advantages of the demons—their steel claws, steel heads, steel bodies, and those alien demons running like flying. Therefore, the upper species fight against the demons everywhere. They gradually gained a leadership position among the races, and they used this position well to unite all races to fight against the demons, and finally drove the demons into the demon gate."

So the goats still have great benefits to other races, Ge Lan asked strangely: "In this case, how did they become your enemies?"

Priest Egbert sighed for a long time, and continued: "Even a few years ago, the upper races were not what they are now. After the war against the demons ended, the leaders of the various races gathered to discuss the future. The arrangement of the superior species has made great contributions and sacrifices to expel the demons, and they deserve to enjoy the greatest fruits of victory, which is recognized by all races. Therefore, all races recognize that the superior species can independently share the land in the south, while the land in the north is shared by other races, including ours. In the long time since then, although there have been occasional small frictions between the various races, the continent has remained A general peace was maintained."

"However, just five years ago, the superior species on the southern land suddenly changed their attitude and began to send troops to the northern land to capture members of other races."

Grant asked, "Why?"

Egbert's face was full of sadness, "According to the people who fled from the south, they were captured and made slaves. The upper races were divided into three large tribes and countless small tribes in the long inheritance , A fierce war broke out between them recently, a large number of clansmen became soldiers, and a large number of people were needed to work, so they adopted the method of plundering slaves from the northern continent."

"This is really... really shameless."

In order to comfort EgbertGlenn scolded the guys he named "sheepmen", but he knew in his heart that this phenomenon was too much on the continent where his hometown was. It's normal.

"Egbert, I..." Grant stammered.

"Oh, my friend. I didn't ask you to do anything. I know that your number is too small. Even if you stay, it won't change anything." A little ashamed.

"Indeed, well, I'm really sorry anyway."

Glenn's face flushed, it would be fine if he was a free adventurer, but now he is the subordinate of Earl Paul Greman, and he can't presume to promise anything to the Great Stream tribe.

"I will leave a batch of swords for you to use."

In the end, Grant still felt that he should do something, "Then, I can only wish you good luck."

Egbert looked at him and said, "Thank you for your instructions, a guest who has traveled across the ocean."
