Chapter 81: The Free Brothers Avian Chieftain
"The Beastman are an interesting race who have a range of subraces, each with their own specialities and physiques."
"Though hard to unify, it is well known that if anyone was able to get them to work together and form one united nation together, then their power would increase dramatically."
"This is proven thanks to The Free Brothers, where Beastman from all subraces and backgrounds come together for the common cause of survival and is a core part of why they are so powerful."
Levath Rammat, Historian and politician in the Kingdom of Athurus.
....
Vorgaox, the giant ape, approached the wary Aurellion host, allowing only a small guard to accompany him, seeing the tense mounted Pelican Guard keep their hands firmly on the hilts of their swords or on the shaft of their spears and lances, ready to spring into action on a moment’s notice though many of the lances had broken in the previous battles leaving them primarily with their secondary weapons at their disposal.
A long-forgotten tragic memory appeared in the mind of Vorgaox of a failed raid where thousands of his brethren and those of other tribes lay on a field above with that damned golden pelican flag swaying above them as the wounded were either captured or finished off.
Even now, he could still hear the thundering steel-shod hooves of the Aurellion cavalry thumping against the ground as around him, one Beastmen after another shrieked in pain or let out a moan of death falling under the sword and hoof of the relentless and ruthless Chavarian cavalry.
It was a scene he would never forget and the place where, forever after, one of his eyes would forever remain shut, just one of the hundreds of thousands of victims who fell so House Aurellion could rise.
Such was the unfortunate world of Dynasties Online, where many died and were scarred both mentally and physically in the wars waged by the powerful in an effort to gain more land and riches for themselves.
Snapping out of his memory-filled stupor with a shake of his large head, the Marshal of The Free Brothers rode forward confidently to be met by a young boy sitting in front of a towering and powerful man. Just by looking at him, the ape knew this was no ordinary man and suspected it was the rumoured grandmaster who was protecting the last heir to House Aurellion.
That’s right, even in other countries, people of power had heard about the abrupt fall from power and grace of House Aurellion. The once feared martial house had now been reduced to exiles on the run from the great Chavarian Empire, one of the most powerful countries in the current world of Dynasties Online.
