The group continued to assemble. They were preparing to give every human girl they had abducted to the Demon Prince.
The system chattered without pause along the way.
[The Snow Lion Beastmen had powerful bodies, quick minds, and formidable fighting strength. Once, a force of just thirty elites ambushed five hundred Berserk Stone Apes. With weapons they had made themselves, they slaughtered the enemy to the last one. They were soldiers sent by the gods.]
The Snow Lion Beastmen gripped their weapons tight. One by one, they straightened their backs, lifted their heads, and smiled.
Had their ancestors really been that strong?
A few dozen against five hundred Berserk Stone Apes, and they had wiped them all out?
Those were Berserk Stone Apes!
One of the strongest races in the entire Demon Realm.
Their special forging skills had made them particular favorites of Si Le.
Across the Demon Realm, almost no one dared provoke them.
Not long ago, a Berserk Stone Ape had even come to their tribe and taken several of their women.
They had not dared resist.
So, in that distant past, their ancestors had known such glory.
[When Si Yaoxie was king, the Snow Lion Beastmen, the Blackflame Winged Eagles, and the Sharp-Horned Bulls were all honored guests of his. Outside the Demon King's Palace stands a group of statues commemorating those who made special contributions. You can still find it today, and one of the statues is a Snow Lion Beastman. It symbolizes this tribe's glorious past.]
[Unfortunately, after Si Le became king, these tribes lost that protection. His rise to power was the main reason this tribe declined. If Si Yaoxie were still in power, they could still be living the prosperous lives they once had.]
The Snow Lion Beastmen grew giddy as they listened.
