Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

The tauren have maintained a peaceful life in Marshanxi for thousands of years, and they have maintained good cooperation and trade relations with the night elves for many years.

Although the two sides have some differences in customs, they have common topics in protecting nature, maintaining Kalimdor and equality.

Although it may be a bit utilitarian and impolite to say so, before the rise of humans, the tauren with high fertility and gentle nature were the best cannon fodder race selected by Andrea.

Thousands of years of peaceful development have allowed the Tauren's sphere of influence to expand steadily.

After occupying the entire territory of Mashanxi, the tauren gradually expanded their footprints to the barren land through Stonetalon Mountain, which was jointly developed by the night elves.

Many people misunderstand the tauren, thinking that they are only vegetarian, but in fact the tauren are omnivorous. They are a typical nomadic race, they will eat their own sheep and pigs, and they will also improve their taste through fishing.

Compared with farming races, nomadic races have relatively low requirements for land quality, as long as they can grow grass, they can survive.

The Barrens is not suitable for a farming-based race like the night elves, but the tauren do not have this problem.

After entering the Barrens through Stonetalon Mountains, the tauren continued to expand their territory without any external enemies.

In the process of exploring the flat land, they discovered the worthless red land in the east, and the fertile prairie in the west of the barren land-Mulgore.

There is only a continuous mountain range between the Mulgore Grassland and Mashanxi. Under the gunpowder sold by the night elves, the tauren spent hundreds of years building a mountain tunnel between Mashanxi and Mulgore.

Although the territory is not as large as the night elves that run through the north and south, the tauren in this time and space dominates the center of Kalimdor, far exceeding their original historical strength, and they are truly the second largest force in Kalimdor.

But just recently, a brand new species suddenly emerged in the hometown of Mashanxi where they have lived for generations.

Centaurs, a brutal and bloody race.

The tauren have a war class that the night elves have never developed-shaman priest.

Shamans can listen to the voices of the elements and gain power through communicating with them.

The gradually growing Tauren Saman accidentally heard a woman's faint calling in the land of Mashanxi.

The tauren who believed in Mother Earth ecstatically strengthened their connection to the voice, which they believed to be an echo of their faith.

However, things backfired, and when the tauren awakened the trapped underground element and summoned her to the material world, they realized that they were wrong, very wrong.

What was summoned was not the benevolent and gentle Mother Earth in their minds, but an ugly and hideous elemental creature—Earth Elemental Princess Celades.

Celades is the daughter of The Stone Mother, Therazane. Her appearance is... It's hard to describe, and all Warcraft players understand it.

She, and a fat pig named "Princess" in Elwynn Forest seriously distorted the players' original good impression of the princess, making people wonder whether the main creators of the glass slag have a psychological shadow on the title of princess.

After the battle of the Dark Empire, most of the elements were banished to their respective elemental realms by the Titan Guardians, and only a few lucky ones escaped.

Princess Therades was one of them. After being fatally injured in the war, she sank into the earth to sleep, and escaped the fate of being sealed into the elemental world, but she fell into a deep sleep for tens of thousands of years.

After the tauren accidentally awakened Celades, in order to restore the energy she had lost after sleeping for many years, Celades instinctively absorbed the power of life from the fertile land of Mashanxi.

The loss of life force caused Mashanxi's land to quickly lose its vitality. The original green grass suddenly turned yellow and withered, and the ground began to dry up and crack.

The transformation of the ecosystem on this scale immediately attracted the attention of the Cenarion Council. Fandral had also entered the dreamland to discuss countermeasures with Malfurion and Remulos before.

Eventually the Cenarion Circle sent another son of Cenarius, Zaetar the Woodland Guardian, to Marshanxi to investigate and play by ear.

No one knows what happened on the way. When Remulos received news from his brother again, he was surprised to find that Zaetar had married that ugly earth princess....

Remulos: "???"

The combination of the Earth Princess and the Warden of the Woods gave birth to a whole new species, the centaurs that now roam the Mashanxi Grasslands.

The species of centaur did not inherit Zaetar's love of nature and gentle personality, only his quadruped body and the tyrannical nature of Theradras.

After Zaltar and Theraders got married, the princess of the earth fulfilled her promise to Zaertar and gave up the continued absorption of the life force of Ma Shanxi. Live on the land.

When Andrea and the others heard the news about Therades again after many years, the centaurs were already crazily running around on the already deserted Mashanxi.

They consecrated the cave where Zaetar and Theradras lived and named it Maraudon.

But it is strange that the centaurs themselves rarely approach the area where Maraudon is located.

Because they couldn't control their anger and tyranny from the princess of the earth, they began to vent their ever-present anger on the aboriginal tauren living there.

...

When Andrea and Fandral led the team to Marshanxi, this once fertile land was more desolate and withered than the last time they saw it.

A large number of tauren couldn't bear the difficult living environment of Mashanxi, which is now known as the desolate land, and their families moved to the next-door Mulgore prairie. Only a small number of nostalgic people continued to stay in this hometown where the tauren lived for many years.

As a druid, Fandral frowned immediately after seeing the horrors of Desolace.

"How could this be? Didn't Celades stop absorbing life force from the Mashanxi land?"

The tauren responsible for receiving Andrea and his party is also a member of the Cenarion Council, named Satro Runetotem.

By the way, the Lin Ge clan, the suzerain of the Kalimdor tauren, completely declined under the hands of Serades.

The newly awakened Serades was almost irrational. While instinctively drawing the life force from the land, she also shot down all the core members of the tauren shaman who was performing the ceremony nearby and Chief Lin Ge's family who presided over the ceremony. kill.

Now there is only one descendant of the Druid Yuanfang who left the Lin Ge clan who went to the Moonlight Glade, and it basically exists in name only.

Satro shook his head bitterly, "It is true that Celades did not continue to absorb the power of life, but her offspring centaurs are frantically destroying the already shrinking pasture environment in Mashanxi."

Now only a small area in the center of Desolation still maintains green grassland, and Andrea, who climbed up and looked into the distance, happened to be able to see a large desolate scene.

"Chairman Moon Shadow, Arch Druid of Staghelmet, please follow me."

Satro politely guided Andrea and Fandral, "The new chief, Dawn Bloodhoof, is waiting for the two of you to arrive in the king's tent."

Thanks to the book friend "Papaya Prawn" for the reward.
