"You mean Pandaren Chen Stormstout?"
Vol'jin laughed, a genuine sarcasm in his voice, and said confidently, "Dealing with Chen Stormstout is no challenge at all. If I can't even handle him, I'm not qualified to be a chieftain."
Chen Stormstout is renowned among the Darkspear Tribe; even Chief Sen'jin knows of this Pandaren's existence.
It is said that the Pandaren of Pandaria love to travel, broaden their horizons, and incidentally, perform acts of chivalry.
Azeroth is definitely not a peaceful world. There are many barbaric and backward races. Many Pandaren travel around and then disappear. Their fur is stripped off and used as fur coats by some barbaric races.
Generally, Pandaren choose to travel among the simple-minded Humans, kind-hearted Gnomes, or proud Night Elf race —these relatively civilized races—making the possibility of accidents extremely low.
Even human kingdoms, where good and evil are unclear, were excluded.
Chen Stormstout, despite his formidable strength, refused to believe in superstition and ventured into the Echo Isles of the Darkspear Tribe.
The Trolls and Humans living here are among the most savage races, cruel and bloodthirsty. Countless Pandaren have perished here, becoming delicious stew in their pots.
On the Echo Isles, Chen Stormstout was attacked countless times, but his strength was extremely high, coupled with his keen sense of smell. The Darkspear Tribe, unable to defeat him, resorted to despicable methods such as poisoning and cursing, but none of them could defeat him.
Over time, the Trolls and Murlocs of the Echo Isles learned that this powerful Pandaren was not to be trifled with.
Just as Chen Stormstout, his nemesis, a cunning Troll, appeared.
Rokhan was originally a destitute nobleman of the Darkspear Tribe. He was so poor that he couldn't even get enough to eat, and he was emaciated and often bullied by his own tribe.
If Trolls want to become stronger, they cannot do without the help of witch potions. Obtaining witch potions requires a lot of Wealth, so in the Troll, an individual's strength is often directly proportional to their status and Wealth.
The weak-willed Rokhan knew he was no match for Chen Stormstout, but he won through cunning.
First, he impersonated a nobleman from the Darkspear Tribe, claiming that his father was the Priest of Chief Sen'jin, and managed to gain Chen Stormstout's trust.
The two gradually became friends and addressed each other as brothers.
Then, Rokhan expressed his ideal: to change the Troll race and gradually transform the Darkspear Trolls into a civilized race, freeing them from those ignorant traditions.
The Trolls are also known as the Trolls. They eat their own kind as if it were commonplace, let alone creatures of other races. In their eyes, any creature made of flesh and blood is delicious food, and they eat it without any psychological pressure.
Unexpectedly, this touched the heart of Chen Stormstout, a Pandaren with ideals and ambitions, who was determined to make a name for himself among the Pandaren and become famous throughout Pandaria.
If he can change the barbaric and backward nature of the Darkspear Tribe help them move towards civilization, then he will be a successful Pandaren, a great Pandaren, destined to leave a significant mark on Pandaren history.
Chen Stormstout, enthusiastically offered his help. Rokhan deliberately sighed and said that the reason the Darkspear Tribe was backward was mainly because they lacked education. He suggested that if they could have a group of knowledgeable mentors to help them popularize education and spread civilization, then the Troll could also get rid of backwardness and ignorance.
He hoped that Chen Stormstout could help find some idealistic and cultured Pandaren to impart knowledge, culture, etiquette, and morality to the Darkspear Horde Darkspear Tribe, helping them embark on the path to civilization.
Chen Stormstout nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Among the Pandaren, the Stormstout Family was renowned, and Chen Stormstout was respected by his clan for his outstanding martial arts skills, enjoying extremely high popularity.
Upon returning to Pandaria, Chen Stormstout quickly gathered a group of Pandaren scholars using his popularity, along with their apprentices, totaling several hundred Pandaren.
Rokhan was genuinely taken aback to see so many Pandaren. He warmly welcomed them and offered to introduce them to Pandaren Sen'jin, the chieftain of the Darkspear Tribe.
Logically speaking, Rokhan was just a son of a fallen noble family and should have no chance of meeting the high and mighty Sen'jin chieftain.
But he succeeded in the end, and hundreds of Pandaren with ideals and ambitions entered the Troll Royal Palace, while Rokhan managed to entangle Chen Stormstout.
A few days later, Chen Stormstout met Rokhan again. Rokhan had undergone a magnificent transformation. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and his strength had greatly increased due to taking witchcraft potions. He was surrounded by a large group of guards and had become a true nobleman.
Chen Stormstout, asked, "Where are my people?"
Rokhan chuckled meaningfully, "Chief Sen'jin is very satisfied with them and hopes you can bring more of your people. They will surely be able to change the Darkspear Tribe."
Having not seen his clansmen for several days, Chen Stormstout felt uneasy and asked inwardly, "Where are my clansmen now? I want to see them."
Rokhan waved his hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, Chief Sen'jin has entrusted them with important responsibilities, instructing us not to disturb them. Chief Sen'jin simply wants you to bring more Pandaren, preferably some young cubs."
The word "clond" triggered Chen Stormstout, giving him a very bad premonition. His face immediately darkened, while Rokhan, relying on his large number of guards, laughed triumphantly.
"Foolish Pandaren, the glory and wealth your people have brought me—look at my magnificent robes, look at my current strength, and look at the guards around me—don't you understand?"
Enraged by the Chen Stormstout's eyes blazed with fury. Facing the numerous guards, he showed no fear, quickly knocking them Troll to the ground. He grabbed Rokhan by the throat and asked viciously:
"I trusted you so much, and you actually gave them all away..." Thinking of the tragedy that befell his clan, Chen Stormstout and his heart pounded with fear.
Rokhan was not afraid, he just sneered:
"Look at your fierce face, what's the point? Don't forget you're an accomplice too. Killing me is meaningless. I've already made preparations. After I die, someone will soon enter Pandaria and tell your people that you colluded with the Darkspear Tribe, tricking your own people into going to their deaths. Yes, it's all my conspiracy, but will your people believe you?"
Chen Stormstout was dumbfounded. His only weakness was his concern for his reputation, which would implicate the entire Stormstout Family and prevent him from establishing himself in Pandaria, forcing him to wander aimlessly.
"Stormstout, my brother, let me go now!" Rokhan said smugly. "A wise man doesn't associate with the wicked. You should have known this day would come when you befriended us cunning and cruel Trolls. You've gone too far."
With no other option, Chen Stormstout could only release Rokhan, his face filled with despair.
"That's right, my dear brother."
Rokhan patted Chen, Stormstout, on the shoulder, a mocking look on his face:
"You are a chivalrous knight, a remarkable Pandaren. How could you, with your reputation and honor, stand by and watch our Troll starve? Chieftain Sen'jin loves Pandaren delicacies; he's heard that Pandaren cubs are the most nutritious. Can you satisfy our chieftain's appetite?"
Chen, Stormstout, closed his eyes in despair and nodded helplessly.
